iiulls from the Catacomb-*. ng the Philadelphia constituency ope this summer was a large party roned by Dr. William D. Hastings, >w prides himself that the winds euty-four languages have wafted ;h his long whiskers. The party ed, among others, Lewis E. Beit ho is Mayor Stuart’s right bower, # William B. Gill, who is the local of the Western Union Telegraph •fmpany. Beit lor and Hastings one day isited the catacombs of Paris, the great underground graveyard where thou sands of corpses repose. While there Dr. Hastings qtlietly told the superin tendent that Beitler was the man next to the mayor in Philadelphia, and that guide was more than gracious. “Suppose a fellow was to tuck one of those under his arm?” asked Beitler sug gestively, pointing to one of the grin ning skulls. “If monsieur would like them we will send him some.” Before they reached the hotel the keener of the corpses had wrapped up three moss cov ered skulls and sent them to the suite of rooms at the Hotel Continental which the travelers occupied. When Mr. Gill entered the room before the return of the others he saw the package, and thinking it was a nice present some of the fellows had bought he opened it and was horrified at the contents, which rolled out on the floor. He fled in hot haste from the room and could not be in duced to gw back again. lie sent a bell boy up to the room. Mr. Gill by close associa tion became reconciled to the newest ac ,< cessions to the party and was finally in duced to accept one of the skulls, which >e is having mounted as a tobacco box.

When,the Pacific Mail steamer City of Now xork arrived from Panama, J A. Magee, a New York sporting man, was one of the passengers. When he got up he forgot nine SIOO bills in a email pocketbook that he had placed under his pillow the night before, and when the tug came alongside, while the I steamer was at anchor in the stream, he made haste to land. No sooner had he reached the Baldwin hotel than he dis covered his loss, and hiring a coupe made for the Pacific Mail dock, which he reached just as the steamer was made fast. An inquiry for the lost bills proved that they were safe in Captain Johnston’s hands. Ah Ping, a Chinese in the steward’s department, while mak ing up Magee’s berth, had found the bills aasd taken them to the captain. M>gee was handed his money, and called for Ah Ping, to whom he gave twenty-five dollars. The Chinese had hardly time to appre ciate his good luck when Chief Steward Cottrell was angry because the stray bills had not been given to him to re turn to the owner, instead of the cap tain, and ordered that Ah Ping should be discharged. Unless the wrathy stew ard is called down by some of the head officers of the company Ah Ping will h ive to leave the steamer for being honest. Had he chosen he could easily have secreted the valuable paper bills so that no one could have found them and made away with the whole gum.—San Francisco Chronicle. A Political Club. A good story is told on one of the po litical managers. JJo was approached *gGveTtil day* Lvloio election by a young man who stated that he had organized a, club of eighteen men and would name it after any prominent man who would furnish the uniforms. He did not want much —just cape dusters and plug hats. The manager studied the matter over, and finally got the dusters and hats and threw in some nice canes for good measure. This is the last that has been heard of that club. It has not been named after any prominent citizen so far as any one is av/are. It has been learned, however, that the young men have organized a minstrel company, and are prepared to give a nicely dressed street parade when they start on the road.—lndianapolis News. Tbe Chosen People of Chosen. The announcement that the Cowley manor estate, Cheltenham, is in the \ market reminds a correspondent of a quaint story in connection with Chosen, a small village lying at the fringe of the property. A worthy locum tenens thought to please the good people of the village, and gave out as his text, “And make all thy Chosen people joyful.” A horny handed swain, however, who had wandered from a distant parish, in terpolated the ejaculation, to the no small consternation of the said locum tenens and the amusement of the Chosen people themselves, “And what about we poor Hucklecut folk?” —Pall Mall Ga zette. Plant Shade Trees. Again the time of year has rolled around when deciduous trees shed their leaves. The best time to transplant de ciduous trees is during the fall of their .eaves in the autumn and the bursting of the buds into leaf in the spring. There is little choice in many portions of this country as to what particular time dur ing the period mentioned trees should bo transplanted so that the soil is in proper condition. In this section, where winter is well defined, the planting period is divided by cold weather into fall and spring, and the relative advan tages of the seasons are less a matter of moment than the fact that not nearly as many trees are planted in either as there ought to be. However, this is an oppor tune time to remind those who have a place to plant a tree that fall is a better time than spring to set out trees.—Mc- Keesport Times. Archdeacon Denison, who is two years older than Mr. Gladstone, has sent to the press a sequel to his “Notes of My Life," published in 1879, in which he Will give a summary of the later period of his eventful career. Now that the inventor of the incan 'descent lamp has been named by the ourts, the next big lawsuit in the elec rical field is announced as pertaining the discovery of the trolley system of . jctric traction. e.» - 11 A Lawrence (Kam) man recently re vived a letter which was mailed in Chicago about twelve years ago.

A slave dhow, captured recently by H. M. S. Blanche, has just been con demned. She was on her way to Pemba when the attention of the officer of the watch was attracted by the unusual number of Arabs in a dhow stand ing in toward the land. On board ing her the dhow was found to contain thirty-three slaves and to have come from Pangani. Three of the slaves were selected by chance to be examined in the prize court. Os these two came from the neighbor hood of Mombasa. One, a male, said that he had been sold by his brother on ac count of famine prevailing in the dis trict; the other, a young woman, said that a year ago she had been sold by an Arab of Mombasa, and had eventually been sold to the captain of the dhow; the third slave was a little boy, and when examined he said he came from Unyamwezi with a caravan. The cap tain of the dhow said it was the business of the people on the coast to sell slaves, and that he had paid for every one of the thirty-three slaves and had not stolen or kidnaped any. The slaves were turned over to the missionaries, and the captain and Arab crew have been dealt with by the sultan of Zanzibar. —London Army and Navy Gazette. Mr. Locke’s Fortunate Find. I. N. Locke, of Wayne county, was formerly an active trader. In May, 1872, he was in Chicago, and bought a lot for a small sum. He put the deed in an envelope and placed it in his pocket with other papers. A few days afterward, while getting into his buggy, he lost the envelope and all its contents. He adver tised for it, but really cared only for the notes, thinking the lot of little value. John Ritchey, a victim of softening of the brain, was wandering aimlessly on the street the day Locke lost his papers. He found them and laid them away, and even after his death no notice was taken of the supposed worthless papers. About ten days ago John Ritchey found the package and gave it to Mr. Locke, and through his attorneys his claim has been established. Had the deed remained concealed a few days longer the twenty years would have ex pired and no claim would have been al lowable. It is a lot in the boulevard ad dition, and the parties occupying it have given Mr. Locke $20,000 for a quit claim. —lndianapolis News.
