little wnyftide church to escape the

“Heard of what?’ questioned Johnny

from around his banjo anti restoring it

a nonchalant whistle. “It’s something

Larrv Conners, the fourth of the quar
tette that had “ busted ” upon the road,
slid out of the hotel window after dark
with their instruments (all the va’na-

minus for three days* hoard, and were
“h ofing ’ it hack to Chicago.

Ami the spirit below is the spirit of'wine.
“ W ish I was there now,' 1 groaned
Larry.
1 Where? In the church?”
“No, you fool, in the gin mill. I
never was so dry in my life.”
“ Wet, you mean.”
“ Yes, outside, but dry as a powder
house within.”
“ No matter, we are in snug Quarters
for the night, andean take things com
fortable.”
“ If some constable don't make it lively
for us.”
“ I’m not going to freeze, anyhow.”
Searching around, Charley found a
stove, a pile of wood, and by the aid of
matches and unused programmes of the
“Great and unrivaled Congo Minstrels
and un ipproachable delineators of Af
rican character,” etc., etc., he soon had
s cheerful fire, and the boys were gath
ered round the roaring stove, and in
dulged in merry‘jests at their own ex
pense.
They were what is (was) called a
“snap company,” though the term was
uncoined then, for it was in the early
days of burnt cork artist-* in the West
ern country. The original Christy’s
Minstrels, with “Ned” ut ttie head, and
“George” at the end. had made theirfirst
visit to Chicago, an»l the boys were wild
with delight. Everybody who could
thumb a string, draw a boy, manipulate
bones, beat “Deacon ’ sk ; n and sinx at
at a tune, fancied they saw an unworked
bon *nza of untold wealth and waded in.
The “Congo s” were among the earnest
to take Uuytield - and leave it. With
^dilapidated instruments, old songs, gsgs
and con’s — u very short allowance
*of money and large stock of assurance,
thev started out to astonish the natives
and rake in their pile. Of their original
occupations one wal a printer, one was a
butcher’s sub, one a general loafer, and
the other a bar-keeper, and through the
buzzing of the first named, they were’in-
debted for their bills—and always would
With advance ugent and treasurer
they started out with flying co'ors but
soon came to grief. The agent (lived
and drank) high, ran them in debt, and
sloped; the treasurer paid no hills, gob
bled up all the avai able, disappeared,
and left them stranded in a strange
town, fifty miles from home, with hun
gry creditors pouncing upon them at
every turn.
A council of—well, not exactly war,
but ways and m nns—was held The
boys, bj’dint of cheek, got an immense
programme for a benefit the following
evening, quieted the landlord with re
fulgent promises, filled themselves with
f ;rub (and corn juice), retired early,
ocked their doors, slid quietly out of tho
windows, and took the back track on a
quiet “go-as you-pleasc.” Tho weather,
however, war against them, and a wild
Western snow-st .rm raged upon the
prairie. They weio driven to the shelter
of a little point of timber, found a
lonely church, got inside quickly, and
made themselves perfectly at home, and
as comfortable tyi was possible under the
circumstances.
But, pretty well used up, they soon
r tired of singing and poking fun at
"^jlier. and began looking jiround
K» place to lay their weary bones,
lions were found and dragged

plves and their overcoats ana

«t anyone who chanced to
bid replenish the '
Slumber thov did speedily, heavily, |
but not lofcg. There came a thundering j
nt the doors sufficient to have awakened I
the notorious Seven Sleepers, and the
boys fairly shook in their boots, believ
ing a band of revenging “Regulators”
were after them, and they would soon
swing by the neck from the steeple or a
tree, whichever came the most ban ly.
Fortunately they were nt the extreme
end ot the church, screened by the pul-
I nt, the doors strong, and they hud a
ittle time for reflection.
“Let's slide out of the window and
cut for it,’ whispered Dick, with chat
tering teeth.
“ Potter bid*,” suggested Johnny.
“ Or get ready for a fight,” put in
Larry, whoso Milesian hlootl always
“ boomed ” nt the prospect of a scrim
mage.
“ Hold on!’ commanded Charley, who
was - lie coolest of the lot. “ Wait and
see what turns up.”
Almost with the words the fastenings
of the door gave way and in rushed a
party of vonng girls and hoys, shivering
, with cold, who crowded around the
stove.
i “ Who could 1 ave expected to find a
j tire here?' st'id one, stamping liis feet
j and Mowing Ids fingers.
, “Lucky there was,” responded nn-
I other, “ for since that miserable old
I sleigh broke down l have nearly per-
I ishod.”
Charley llennett drank in every
j word ami whispered to the ■ now re
assured boys. Rut unsuspecting the
presence of others, the sleigb-riding
party made merry over their mishap,
! now tiiat they were safe, crowded tho
! great stove with wood, and some of the
j most daring even hinted that the fire
j had been started by gho-ts who bail
! found it uncomfortable roaming around
; in such weather.
| “Don't talk that way,” said one of
the bevy of beauties, a* she clung fo
her companion amt looked around in
j terror.
“Oh. don’t please,” chimed in nn-
( other. “ It is pad and wicked enough
; to break into a church, and I am certain
i something terrible will happen. I am all
in n tremble.”
i A “*o am I, to kiss and console the
darling,” whispered Larrv.
' “Hush! or 111 choke you!” corn-
1 mantled Charley. “ Remember what I
told you.”
I But, though he succeeded in keeping
! order in his pari of the house, it was
not so easy in the other. 'Hie ineie
mention of ghosts had caused the blood
1 to forsake tne checks of the girls, and
j «thcy declare 1 they would sooner walk
nil the way home ami be frozen to
' death.’ than remain any longer,
j “Think of the pretty little den
wading through tho snow,” whispered
! Larry.
i “ Be quiet, will you?” and n strong
! hand was instantly laid on his throat
and a brawny fist shaken in dangerous
; proximity to his nose, and lie “ col
; Inp-ed ” into silence, as he afterwnrd
1 said.
And by deg ees the other company

• over the prairie in such a howling storm
wnsnn imp s.-dbility: there could b* no
i stirring until the sleigh that had been
sent for came, and *o to pass the time
they began singing. Rut suddenly they
paused looked nt each other with eyes
starting out from pale fncej and ques
lions with trembling lips:
•• What sound was that?”
“The wind,” suggested one of t o
number in tho lowest of whispers.
“ It sounded like stringed instru
ments.”
“ Guess they think jt is angels playing
on.the go den harps’” inter|>osed Larry,
to immediately have his wind shut otf
by Charley.
“ [ knew it was,” exclaimed one of the
g|rl • “ I heard it ns plainly as could he.
| A sound as of n far-away song, under-
I toned by the melody of harps touched
j by the softest of finger-*, came to thei
ears and held them s|>ell'bound. Nov
the woris seemed to float in the ai
above—now to come from beneath their
fc-t—then to swell into chorus, and
I then to die away as the whispering of
j ghosts.
s#It was too much for the visitors to cn
! dure—was painfully suggestive, and
with one accord they would have rushed
from the church had not the sleigh at
the moment arrived at the door. In
faltering accents the girls told the driver
what had happened; lie laughed at
them and questioned from what direc
tion tho sound* mostly came. They
pointed to the pulpit, and armed with
a huge whip he started thither.
“ I'll show you What fools you are to
he afraid,” he began Tauntingly, to end
the sentence with “ Devils! * and heat a
rapid retreat.
And devils they appeared; four of
them, black as the ace of spades, with
immense mouths, and great white rings
around their eye 1 , woolley heads, claws
and armed with instruments that made
the most diabolical nois !
There was no standing upon the order
of their going. Every one of the com
pany rushed to the sleigh, tumbled in
promiscuously, and with horses lashed
to their utmont speed, were driven awav.
And the Inst they saw of the imps of
darkness they wore dancing regular
break downs upon the steps of the
church, with forked and lurid flames
playing fitfully around them!
That was the story they beard; but
the boys had a merry time over it
What ram# of Having a Roof Tarred
A Poston man, so says a paper pub
lished in that city, had tho flat roof of
the L of his house tarred the other day,
and when six or seven cats got on to it,
the following night, they could yell and
arch their backs ana try to get a pull
all four feet at once, but they couldn t
lift themselves free and their sighing
settled down again; the last nuJible
remark being that of Larry:
“By my soul, that was a brilliant
idea of mine to open the door of the
stove and let the flames flash out.”
The-first of dawn found the bovson

Fiendish Work.
From the Omahn Republican we glean
the particulars of a desperate attempt to
destroy the Bee office and kill tho em
ployes by blowing the concern up. At a
late hour on Tuesday night some unhung
desperado entered the basement of the
Bee office and started a fire in the en
gine, fi led the furnace with fuel and got
a hot fire going, and then taking a long-
handled shovel he fastened it to the ma
chinery with a lever purchase so as to
prevent the escape of steam, which
■siimIIv blows off at a pressure of sixty
pounds.
On Wednesday morning one of the
E rcss-room employes upon entering the
asement found the engine working at a
tremendous rate of speed fairly jumping
off the lioor at times, and wrenching it
self this way and that, and the steam-
gau)e indicating 160 pounds. Of course
the engine was stopped and the shovel
reu ovedfeo as to let the steam escape.
Id :#few minutes more the engine might
ha\^L exploded and blown the building
to prices, and killed or injured tbe in-
mate". No suspicion is attached to any
one, but it is thought that perhaps it

was frightful, and people in the neigh
borhood began to cluck things at them,
and the owner of the house forgot about
tho tar, and went barefoot and in liis
oobc de nuit upon the roof to chase them
eff, and pretty soon he found that he
rouldn’t stir, and began to whoop and
swear, and a policeman got a ladder and
climbed on the roof, and when lie came
up over the edge on his hands and
knees, he had to remain In that posture
and lie used very emphatic language.
Menntinc the hoot-jacks were falling in
a shower about and around them, and
the man’s mother in law, in looking out
of nn upper window that overlooked the
L roof, to a«k them if they were not
ashamed to be out on a roof playing cat
nt that time of night, knocked her wig
off and it fell in tne tar, and she rushed
down a flight and went out on the roof
to get it and couldn t pull tbe wig up.
but got her hand stuck to it, so sue
couldn’t let go of it,and of course her
position nnd nor bald head made a lead
give-away, ns it was quite light, when
some one finally came with boards for
them to lie got on to when they were
cut loose from the tar, and the old lady
did not feel a bit won*’ than the police
man, who had to walk through the street
with the knees of his trousers cut out
nnd left stuck on the roof and a great
hunk of tar stuck to each hand, anu got
a reprimand when ho reached the sta
tion. And the house owner himself,
blistered his feet trying to melt the tar
off of them by holding them up to a hot
stove, and when the cats were cut loose
from the roof and put on the ground,
they tried to gnaw the tar from their
claw# and got theii paws stuck in tlieir
mouths ami rolled about nnd ynwled
and carried on so that folks thought they
were mad nnd killed them. And that
househol*tor’s mother in law hasn’t yet
got over jawing him ab^ut that tar roof.
Blacksmith’# Hammer Signals.
When the blacksmith gives the anv
quick, tight blows, it i* n signal to th
helper to use the rlegde, or to striki
quicker.
i he force of the blow given by thi
blacksmith’s hammer indicates the force
of the blow it is required to give the
sledge.
The blacksmi h’s helper is supposed
to strike the work in the middle of the
width of the anvil, nnd as this requires
to be varied the blacksmith indicates
where the sledge blows are to fall by
touching the required spot with his
hand hammer.
If the sledge is required to have a
lateral motion while descending, the
b acksniitli indicates tbe same to the
helper by delivering liar d hammer blows
in which the hand hammer moves in the
direction required for the sledge to
move.
If the blacksmith delivers a heavy
b’ow upon the work and un intermediate
blow upon the anvil, it denotes that
heavy blows are required.
If there a e two or more helpers the
blacksmith strikes a blow between each
helper’s sledge hammer blow, the object
being merely to denote where the sledge
blows are to'fall.
When the blacksmith desires the
sledge blows to cease, lie lets the hand
hammer head fall upon the anvil and
continue its rebound on the same until
it ceases.
Thus the movements of tho hand ham
mer constitute signals to the helper,aid
what appear desultory b'ows to the
common observer, constitute ^he com
munication between the blacksmith and
his helper.
Living at Hotels.
by Europeans, particularly by English
men, who rarely stay nt a hotel, except
when traveling, and who almost never
make it a home. Within two or three
years a new kind of hotel, known as tho
private family hotel, hn.s sprung up in
the city, nnd inis* proved so popular that
it is certain to multiply. Hotels of this
stnmp arc new to tne country, nnd ns
unlike our great teeming enravnnsarieB
as they well can bo. and ret nip the same
name. They receive no transient people;
their rooms are divided into suite*,
usually rented by the year, and often
furnished by the occupant. There is a
regular restaurant,nt which the patrons
take their meals (each family, or set, nt
a small table, always reserved) paying a
fixed price, generally *14 a week for each
person. The suites for one or two com
monly consist of-a parlor or sitting-room,
a bed chamber nnd bath-room; but they
are larger, of course, when intended for
a family. Most of the patrons are
married couples who have no children,
or whose children have grown up or are
away at school, though some families
with small children like these hotels as
well as private houses, and say they have
the best advantages. There are at
present six or seven hotels here, nil in or
near Fifth avenue, and they arc so much
approved that they are continually full,
except, of course, in summer, when tlieir
renters are out of town. They seem
destined to become a favorite mode of
living. They are not cheap; nothing
good or de-irable evc» is cheap, but they
are not very dear, as these things go.
They are rather less expensive than the
great hotels would be, and have far more
comfort for ai

The Work of • Dream.
Train No. 6 from Memphis was within
ten miles of New Orleans. Negro Tom.
an his wsy to buy bananas, was -sound
asleep, as were both the conductor and
brakesmen. The engine puffed heavily,
and the long gray mosses moved like
funeral plumes in tho leaden clouds of
steam that clung to the earth. Tom was
dreaming, a frightful railroad accident
was going on in his brain nnd ho was
fighting it out all alone with a wrecked
and burning traiu across his heaving
chest, Suddenly he sprang to his feet
with a terrible yell and shouted: “ Mur
der, murder, we’re killed! we’re killed!
the train is off the track!” With a wild
bound ho sprang through the open door
and fell headlong in a green scummed
lagoon. At this instant the conductor
and brako*man, hearing the alarm,
started half awake and sprang also from
the car.
They snoozed no more; they were wide
awake. Three men, like fools, stood in
mud nnd water up to their waists and
the train went thundering on. The
c!oud of vapor slowly raised in the moss
of the live oak forest and tho deep-toned
bullfrog resumed his tuneful prophecy
thnt day was soon to como.
“ What the — did you say the train
was off the track for, you black Liber
ian?" asked the conductor.
“Yes, what’d ye do it for?” mur
mured tho brakesman ns ho fished tho
wet dirt out of his bosom.
41 Fore God I dreamed it, mnssa,” si id
Tom as he unhitched a mud turtlo irom
one leg nnd felt around with the other
for a missing boot.
“Como out of there you lying hippo*
potamus,” they jointly exclaimed, “ we 11
teach you tins is no dream.”
By the time Tom had clambered up
tno bank they were ready for him.
Toni pleaded the civil rights bill, put in
a demurer that he was a pure Democrat
nnd had voted the national ticket in
1878, and all that sort of thing, but they
overruled ull his motions, quashed his ap
plication for a change of venue, refused
to admit him on bail, squelched th*
habeas corpus, declared martial law, and
proceeded to bung up his eye, flatten
out his nose, tear off his shirt, loosen his
teeth, irrigute his epidermis, crop his
ears, and otherwise disarrange his toilet.
It was a regular Whittaker outrago, wit
nessed only by moccasins, snakes, bull
frogs nnd owls.
After that they tramped into tho city
and reported just in time to stop a party
organized to go in search of them. Jf
there is any doubt as to the truth of this
narrative in any particular, wo refer to
Captain Boh Leach, conductor on the
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, who
knows the negro well, and cun point out

fortunate dream.—Memphis 1‘ublic

The “ Herald ” Correspondent In Paris.
The most noticeable person - although
none could be less conspicuous—writes
the Paris correspondent of tho Chicago
Inter-Ocean, among tho frequenters of
the reading room is Mr. Ryan, the
Herald's Paris correspondent. Mr. Ryan

before ascending the stairs to the region
of newspapers, lie or she receives a cool
glance from the handsome gentleman
who looks upon every human being as a
possible character in sonic tragedy or
raree that may be played upon the stage
of the world for the benefit of the New
York Herald. The next breath the
passer-by is forgotton, liko a burs ted
soap-bubble, nnd the correspondent goes
on writing what nil the Herald office
frequenters will read after it has twice
crossed the Atlantic. Mr. Ryan is ap
parently about forty-eight years of age
Ho has cool, blue eyes, an American
complexion, and a blonde mustache,
once, perhaps, golden, now well mixed
with silver. He has nono of tho brisk,
business-like look and mnnuor of tho
typical American, hut a dignified re
pose of bearing, of one for whom life has
no goads, or pricks snd st’ngs, nnd to
whom the world is only a spectnclent
which he amuses himself, or a drama
that he calmly criticises. The voice, f

How English Lawyers are Paid.
Tho British Government places a high
valuo on tho services of lawyers in the
Cabinet, nnd pays them more bund- l
nomcly than the other members. The
Lord Chancellor, the Attorney General
nnd the Solicitor General each has a
higher salary than the Prime Minister
or the Secretaries. The Lord Chancellor
receives *50,000 a year; the Attorney
General 110,000, and tho Solicitor Gen
eral 805 000, while tho Premier is paid
125,000 yearly, which is also tho salary
of tho Chancellor of tho Exchequer, and
and the Homo, the Foreign, tho Indian
the Colonial, and tho War Secretaries.
The l.ord Lieutenant of Irehnd receiver
*100,000 lier annum, and the Lord ]
Chancellor of Ireland 140,000. Jiulg.** .
are also paid very large salaries in Eng
land, that of the Lord Chief Justice br
ing *40,000, while the ordinary Justice
of the Court of Appeal nnd of the Hit!;
Court of Justice get *25,000 a year one'.
No public law officer of the I’uite 4
States is paid anything like the amount •
above named. The Chief Justice of th*
United States receives *10,600 a year,
which is *500 a year more than is given
to each of the Associate Justices. The
salary of the Attorney General of the
United States is *8,000. Some of the
New York Judges are better paid than
tho members ot the United States Su
premo Court, hut thtir salaries arc
vastly below those of the English
Judges.
Toilets for lmlf-mourning wear are

marry—when they can get white wives.
A Chinaman and a white girl went to
the Mayor’s office the other day and
were made man and wife. A short time
before another Chinaman and a white
woman, who appeared as his wife, were
in the police court to settle a row about
the name of their baby. The taste of
the white girls who take washeo-washee
husbands can hardly be commended, but
tho washee-waphee men don’t care much
nhout the taste, 1 suppose so long as they
get wives. There is already some talk
about asking the Legislature to forbid
this kind of miscegenation, but whit;it~
nmy amount to 1 cannot ear. As yet
there is no sign of a special demand for
l hinese servants. Probably not more
than fifty of the 2,500 Chinese in'NeW
York are employed in this way. I un
derstand that some who have tried Chin
amen have been glad to get rid of them
after a few weeks. There la no particu
lar complaint, but a sort of general dis
satisfaction.
