A Boy’s Composition on the Pio.—
"The pig is about as big ns a sheep,
only a pig’s wool isn’t good for mak
ing stockings of. Why is a pig like a
tree? Because he roots. That is a
conundrum. A pig washes himself in
the mud. A pig has four legs, one
under each corner of his body. They
pickle pigs feet, but not till after the
pig is got done using ’em. A pig
squeals awful when it. rains, also when
you pull his tail A pig has got a first
rate voice for squealing, and he grunts
when he feels good. You can’t make
a whistle out of a pig’s tail, ’cos it is
crooked. Why is a pig like R—? 'Cos
lie’s got his nose into everybody’s bus
iness. This is another conundrum,
which is all I know about a pig.”
Id#’"Beecher's salary as pastor of
Plymouth church is $20,000 (not $25,-
000) per annum—the largest salary
paid to any clergyman m the world.
His congregation were anxious to
raise it to that figure several years be
fore they did, but he resisted, and fi
nally yielded with the remark that if
they were resolved to waste their
money, he was a good mnn to waste
it on. As editor of the Christian Un
ion, he receives SIO,OO a year. By mis
cellaneous writing and lecturing, the
popular clergyman, probably, makes
at least SIO,OOO more; so that his earn
ings are $40,000 a year.
Not A Candidate.— An intoxicated
man fell into a Fourth street gutter
not long since. A gentleman passing
by, helped him to his feet, when the
boozy individual straightened up,
squinted one eye, and looking at the
stranger, said:
“All right—hie—l’ll vote for you,
sure.’,
The stranger looked wonderingly,
and wished to know what for.
“Wha’ office you runnin’ for?”
‘,l ? none at all,” was the answer.
“Not a candidate ?”
“No; why ?”
“Why—hie—thunder’ll lightnin’—l
didn’t know as any man’d—hie—help
’nother as you did ’thout bein’ a can
didate.”
The stranger walked off laughing
heartily.
*A correspondent of the Cincin
nati Enquirer writes: “During my
brief stay in Paris I have seen at least
600,000, and in this number only three
drunkards, and not a single crusader.
Everybody drinks. Wine is a part of
the meals. They put brandy instead
of milk. The father pours wine for
his daughter, the mother for her chil
dren. On all the principal streets
there are little tables placed on the
sidewalk in front of the cafe, where all
classes sit and drink and mingle free
ly. But there is no disorder, no dis
turbance.”

people” are a sin
gular set iu Portland. Within a week
one respectable citizen was caught
stealing jewelry, and another with
kid gloves, stole a ham, a third was
arrested for stealing spoons, and a
fourth, a “prominent citizen,” was
picked up in a state of almost hope
less intoxication.
Mif Codfish and Congress are much
more alike than most people suppose.
A codfish, it is said, deposits 6,000
eggs a year, and of all these but 100
are worthlass, while of every 6,000
Bdls passed by Congress, scarcely
more than 100 are worth the paper
on which they are printed.

W&T At a party, while a youug lady
was playing with peculiar brilliancy
of touch, a bystauder bachelor ex
claimed, “I’d give the whole world
for those fingers!” “perhaps you
might get the whole Laud by asking,”
said the young lady’s observant ma

remarked a guest to a California land
lord. “Ob no,” was the reply,” “only
a few of the boys shooting at the Chi

New Jersey, driven to an excess of
desperation that savors of mad des

last six dollars for a wig. Pity the

WaT“A suburban minister applied to
a ticket agent, on one of the railroads,
for a “clergyman’s ticket,’’ and on the
official expressing a doubt as to his
clerical character, exclaimed; “If you
don’t believe I’m a clergyman, I’ll
read you one of my sermons !” The
agent passed over the ticket, but did
not insist upon the proof.
