Brother (Inrdnrr DiMeourNeM on Names that
are (Jiven to the Kittle ones.
[From the Detroit Free Press, j
‘‘I hold heah in my hand,” said
Brother Gardner, as he slowly rose tip
at the opening of the meeting, “a letter
from a cull’d pussou in Texas informin’
ns dat he has named his baby Brudder
Gardner Holdback. I presume it am a
boy baby, though it may be a gal. De
writer flatters hisself dat he has done a
smart thing, an’ that de fucher of that
chile will be plain sailin’. If anybody
wants to name his offspring arter me oi
Sir Issne Walpole, or Giveadam Jones,
or Judge Cadaver, we can’t hinder, but
so fur as I ar’ personally consarned I
want to indulge in a few remarks in re¬
gard to dis habit.
“I verily believe dat de foolishness ol
sartin parents in tyin’ names to deir off¬
springs lias beclouded an’ wrecked many
lives. De ole man who was shovelin’
snow next doah to me de odder day was
named Henry Clay. It was on de ideah
dat he would make a mighty smart man,
but de minit he got old ’null’ to realize
who an’ what Clay was he pulled right
back. He couldn’t never git dar’, an’
he knowed it. Instead of bein’ ad¬
dressed as Henry Clay, everybody called
him ‘Hank Dirt,’ an’ he’s gwine to be
called dat till do clay kivers his coffin.
‘‘Some y’ars ago a naybur o’ mine
named his baby ‘Washington Linclon
Grant Smith.’ He war bound to till
dat boy chock full o’ military genius
an’ statesmanship, but de chile wasn’t
fo’ y’ars ole befo’ he realized dat it
was too steep. He hadn’t reached ten
befo’ he was a thief au’ a liar, an’ de
odder day he went to prison for burg¬
lary. De name was too long fur de publ c
to grapple wid, an’ so he was called
‘Wash Grant. Later on it got to Wash¬
board,’ an’ by de name of Washboard
Smith he am registered on de prison
books.
“I has seen Prime Minister Jones
drnwin’ a swill cart around, while elus
behind him, lealiu’a yaller dog by a
piece of old clothesline, came Montmo
renci Stubbius. 1 has seen Queen
Catherine Bivens at tho wash tub, while
de Princess Bienville was a’ bangin' out
de clothes fur her. I has whitewashed
on de same job wid Czar Jackson, an' I
has blacked stoves alongside of George
de Fo’th Bones.
“De white folks am iist as bad, an’ it
really does me good to seo by the papers
dat ‘Hortense Victoria Clark’ has
skipped out with ‘De Lisle Fitzhue
Brown,’ who was a pnrfeshioual roller
Rkater loafer on a salary of §5 per week.
Ebery day de Police .Tndge am sendin

fellows to do jug, an’ ebery day de good
old names of Jane an’ Betsy an’ Sarah

Quails in California
The San Frauoiseo Bulletin says:
They are now so abnudant that they
♦.hrong the roadways. While rewards
aro offered by fanners in southern coun¬
ties for killing this bird, which de¬
stroys much grain, the Alameda and
Contra Costa farmers say the quail is
useful to them. It attacks their grain
only as a last resort and chiefly subsists
npon insects. Their destruction of ants
ia of incalculable importance. The
quail’s great foe is tho wildcat. Th >
latter animal is prolific iu the comities
named. A quail nesting will cover fif¬
teen to twenty eggs and nearly every
egg with hatch. They nest once a year,
and during such periods the male is tho
mast pugnacious defender of the moth¬
er aud young, A mau may almost
strike him with a club. Tho wily wild
cat, as large as four ordinary eats, will
stretch himself out and put out his
tongue; the male quail will appear and
peek at it, whereat the cat seizes his
toothsome prey.
den. Corse’s Wound.
The Commercial Gazette says: Gen.
Hickeulooper tells a good one on Gen.
Corse. It was at Altoona that a rifle
ball took Corse alongside of the head.
Gen. Sherman received word from Gan.
Corse that his ear and a portion of his
cheekbone were gone, but that he was
still able to hold his position aud fight
it out.
As soon as possible Sherman got OVtt
to see him, full of anxiety for him. He
lound Corse with his head swathed iu
bandages, and in his anxiety to know
the nature of the iDjnries, impatiently
ordered the surgeon to remove the
cloths. This was done slowly, and with
great formality, and there was revealed
a slight scratch of the cheek and a hole
in the ear.
Sherman looked intently at it, and
calmly remarked, “Why, Corse, they
came mighty near missing yon, didn’t
they?”
HE WAS RIGHTEOUSLY INDIGNANT.
“What is the amount of your defalca¬
tion, sir!” asked the lawyer, as he tend¬
ered the gentleman an easy chair.
“Fifty-seven dollars.”
“Fifty-seven dollars ! And yon com*
tome, sir, said the lawyer, rising with
indignation; “to me, an honest man, and
asa my defence for an admitted crime ?
Begone, sir; I will assist no man who
aumits that he is guilty. Begone, sir !” j
Af.er the man had “begone,” the j
lawyer resumed his seat with the remark
“Fifty-seven dollars ! and I thuught 1
it was a tea thousand dollar case at
least. ”
THE FACE OF THE GLOBE.
How .Worh of It 1* Water nnd How Aliirb
Lanil-lni eresllna Notes.
It is estimated that the proportion of
the surface of the globe covered by
water is to the laud surface as 278 to
100, and that tho average height of
land or continents over the world above
sea-lovel is somewhat less than 1,000
feet. The great mountain chains by
which the continents are more or less
traversed form mere narrow ridges,
which rise iu no case more than 29,000
feet, or about 5 * miles abovo sea-level,
and add but comparatively little to
tbe mass of ground above the sea-level.
On the other hand tho contour lines
of the oceanic basin tells a very different
tale of the great submarine depressions,
Soundings recently made in the North
Pacific Ocean have shown that its mean
depth is not less than 15,000 feet, and
that of tho South Pacific about 12,000
feet, while the mean depth of the North
Atlantic is found to be 14,000 feet, and
of tho South Atlantic 13,000 feet. It is
only in high northern latitudes, in tho
North Atlantic and North Pacific, that
tlie soundings give evidence of shallow
er seas—of a mean depth of about 8,00C
feet.
Thus it is seen how small the mass of
land projecting above the sea-level is,
compared to the mass of water filling the
depressions below that level. Taking
the average depth of the seas and ocean
at 10,000 feet, and tbe height of the
land at 1,000 feet, tho mass of the land
abovo water compared to tho mass of
waters tilling the ocean troughs is
nearly in the proportion of 1 to 39,
It is curious that the deepest sound¬
ing recorded in the Northwest Pacific
registered a depth of about five miles
and a quarter—a depth which closely
corresponds with the elevation above sea
level of the loftiest known point of land,
namely, the summit of Mount Everest,
in the Himalayas, which is 29,000 feet,
or very nearly five miles and a quarter.
We must remember, however, that the
one measurement is that of a mere
peak, while the other probably gives
tbe depth of au extended trough.
We may thus realize how irregular
are the contour lines of the globe, and
how deep the depressions and abysses
concealed from our view by seas and
oceans. Could all these waters bo
drained off from the surface, our earth
would present the aspect of a solid
sphere, everywhere wrinkled and deep
ly pitted. Nevertheless, its actual di
mensions are so great that mountains
five miles high and oceau troughs five
miles deep bear no greater relation to
the bulk of the globe than the irregu
arities on the skin of an orange.
The Salad Maker.
There exists in Loudon a gentleman
who makes his whole income by mixing
lalads. A few minutes before tho com
mencement of a dinner party he drives
up in a hansom and proceeds to the
of the which are
mol?-, it is an incredible success. Such
an ethereal concoction seems as if iteau- 1
uot have been made by hands, but rath
er as if it hovered between two hemis
pheres, partaking of both while belong
ing to neither. The greater part of the
materials are found for him; some he
uses, some it seems good to him to re
ject, but it is surmised that he must
bring with him somo singular fl avoring
or mysterious herb which gives to the
salad its magioal flavor. Any way, the
salad is a success; the maker pockets a
guinea fee and Hies off in another han¬
som—possibly to dream of inventing an¬
other salad. No one has ever seen the
salad maker at work. He (jemands per¬
fect solitude for his artistic employment,
and he has a preference for silence while
it is goiug ou. He has a bland, myste.
rious and almost unctuous expression,
which seems somehow to suggest a per
son who takes especial delight iu the
mixing of oil. He has a manner so qui
etly polite, so calm and self-contained,
as perfectly to baffle any inquiry which
could be put to him as to his history or
the secret of his trade.
A Parisian Newspaper.
When the late M. Yillemessant, the
proprietor of the Paris Figaro, died he
left the paper to the three men who had
done the most to aid him. But there
were many old contributors on the pa¬
per—men with well-known names, who
made au outcry at this division of the
property. They insisted that they
ought to have been consulted, aud they
threatened to found an opposition
Figaro. This alarmed the three prin¬
cipals, and they made a proposition to
the effect that they themselves should
take each 835,000 out of the concern
yearly, and that the other men should
each have a salary of 87,500 for the
work they were to do, aud at the end of
the year draw a like snm out of the
profits, thus insuring them 815,000 a
year each. Yet these men do not write
an average of more than half a column
a day each—if, indeed that much, sc
that they have a very easy time of it.
It is one of the conditions that when
any one of them dies his share goes to
the others, so that the last survivor will
have an enormous income. j

If the public knew half of the horrors
of the tenement system in crowded cities
it would not rest until a reform was ob¬

times the average death-rate for the
United States.

At Wyjore there is a merchant who
carries ts stock in a basket, and he is
famous J1 the land over for his popcorn.
He cam. on the car with his wares and
this me® man, who was traveling with
his wife little child of perhaps 3 years
and his ^ther-in-law, asked the price of
popcorn “Five cents a package.” That
was too much. Ho didn’t want any.
After tip merchant left the car the mean
man sal: “I want some o’ that ’ere
popcorn Lut I kin git it cheaper’n that.
Preseutl* he went out on the platform
and saidto the dealer in the fruit that
iheers Ipt not ine-hic-briates: “Say,
mister, Iwant some of that popcorn
but I hai ’t got on’y three cents. Now,
if you kii lemme have a paper of it fur
three cent, all right; but I kain’t give
bo more fir it, because I hain’t got on’y
that muci money.” Well, after some
dickering,the merchant finally let him
have a pa|er of popcorn for three cents,
a d the ntean man came in the car, sat
down beside his wife and little child and
began mulching his popcorn, Never a
crumb did ho offer to anybody. He was
just enjoying it. He said: “I hat?
enough nxmey to buy liis whole basket¬
ful, but I knowed I could git somo fur
less’n five cents.” As he munched, his
father-in-hw and wife seemed to under¬
but the clild began to reach up its little
dimpled lauds ami in the sweetest child¬
ish accens beg for some popcorn. Save
to hold tie package up out of the reach
of the pleading little hands the mean
man paid not the slightest attention to
the baby, but kept on eating. Presently
the mother spoke to him and said the
child wanted somo of the com. "Well,”
replied her husband, “if the child is any
Liungrier’ii I am, an’ wants this popcorn
more’n I db, he ought to have it.” But
lie kept on eating it himself and never a
grain did tie child get. Pretty soon the
little fellow began to cry for the corn.
This may have annoyed the father, be¬
cause he soon arose, put the popcorn up
in the rack out of the child's reach and
went into another car. While he was
gone the child continued to cry and
reach after the banquet, and the mother
took the popcorn down and gave some to
the little one. While this was going on
the mean man came back. Furious ?
You never saw anything like it. He
snatched the popcorn away from the
child and poured a torrent of abuse upon
his wife for daring to touch his popcorn.
Then he put it back into the rack and at
intervals got up and ate some of it until
it wa3 all goue.
Now, in a case of that kind—and the
above is a truthful narrative of an actual

The Bride as Security.
The Atlanta Constitution says: One
of the most novel mmriages in the his¬
tory of Norwood took place last week.
The applicants were a lady aud a gent
of the ebony hue. The young justice
>f the peace, who is very conversant
with the law, but a little inexperienced
in performing marriage ceremonies, pro¬
ceeded to unite the happy pair. His
face bore marks of excitement, and, in a
nervous tone, ho bade the two join
hands. This they did, joining, however,
their left hands, and were made me.
The joyous couple then proceeded to de¬
part, whereupon tho following conversn
tion ensued:
J. F.—“Where’s my fee; yon didn’c
expect me to marry you for nothing,
did yon ?”
Groom (excitedly)-“W’y, boss, I ain't
got a cent! How much do you charge ?
I didn t know I had to pay for mar
ryiu’.”
•L I*.—“82.50. I'll just keep your
wife here until you go and get the
amount.” (At the same time bidding
the blushing bride to take her seat.)
Groom—“Well, I’ll try to get it.”
Off he went to procure an order from
his employer, but staying rather long,
the bride moved restlessly toward the
door.
“Take your seat,” was heard insoleum
Cones from tho Justice of the Peace.
She complied, but what her feelings
mnot have been can’t be easily de¬
scribed. However, the groom returned
m due time, settled the bill, and took
his “pawned” bride home, a wiser if no*
a better man.
