A Smart Girt.
One of tire many handsome young
Sediee residing in the aristocratic portion
of a Cincinnati suburb packed up a small
“ gripsack ” one morning recently, says
the Cincinnati Enqttirer, and departed
for a v'sit with a friend at one of the
many picturesque stations that abound
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroah Finding, upon her arrival at
Cincinnati, that she had several hours ia
which \o make the train, and as she also
wished so purchase several of “ those
things’ o essential to the completion
ot a voting lady’s wardrobe, she con
cluded to -woke her purchases and pass
a portion of the surplus time in walking
to the depot. She made her purchases
and was hdsnrely strolling along Fifth
street, admiring the latest summer
styles, when her meditations were
brought t<- an abrupt termination by a
dapper, dandified little fellow, who was
rigged up in one of the very latest style
summer suits, his cranium was covered
with a hat constructed upon the second
story plan, * pair of ey e-glasses straddled
the bridge o; his Roman nose, and a
sweet, killing smile appropriately
adorned 1 <- countenance, who, stepping
up, politely lifted, his hat and accosted
her thus ; “ Exense-ah’me—pleasure of
can Ytngvoiiru-tniauteau?.” Theyoung
lady looked at him, hesitated a moment,
as if niedii.itmg whether it would i.c
safe t. tntsi hi e, and, with a “Certainly,
sir, e itainlv,” handed him the “grip
sack, which the handsome ..>
took, at the same t ime tipping a wink
to a couple of friends who were loafing
on the corner. The couple started
toward the depot, and as they meandered
along the young man tried to strike up
a conversation with the young lady ; but
she evidently wasn’t in a very talkative
mood, as she could not he induced to
speak only in answer to direct questions,
and those she answered in monosylla
bles. Arriving at the depot, the young
lady, to the consternation of the your
masher and the amusement of his friend;,
who had followed them just hr watch
development:-, pulled out her pocket
book, and, hauling lum a dime, said, in
a voice loud enough for the bystander :
to hear, “I’m really sorry, but it’s all
tlie change I have; I’m very much
obliged to you for your kindness. I as
sure you it is appreciated, and should I
ever meet you again I will give you 3 >
cents, as it is certainly worth a quarter
took her portmanteau and got aboard
the train, leaving the “masher” stand
ing on tho sidewalk. The young man,
with a scowl at his friends, who iv, ro
cruelly laughing at his discomfiture,
mumbled out something about “
smart alecks.” and incontinently fled.
Fisk’s '•uperb liar-Room.
Thespians w ith enough money on hand
to pay for drink sometimes drop into
the magnificent bar-room fitted up by
Ed. Stokes, of -Tim Fisk antecedents. 1 i
is by long odds the most elaborate place
of its kind in New York, and it may bo
doubted if there is another equal to it in
the world. The room is about fifty feet
square, with tho bar iu the middle. ,
This arrangements give the bar two sides
instead of one. Tlie floor is covered with
carpeting fit for tho best drawing-room
on Fifth avenue, rich but not bright in
color and so thick that no footfall can bo
heard. All the woodwork—bar chairs,
tables, etc.—is solid mahogany, richly
carved aud giving a certain tone that no
other kind of wood imparts. When
lighted up by magnificent crystal
chandeliers the effect is superb. Heavy
draperies and enormous tropical plants
add to the richness of tho whole.
The walls contain several paintings,
of no particular merit, and some pieces
of statuary of very decided merit, stand
near the liar. One is a splendid marble
figure life size, resembling the figure
known as “California” in the Metro
politan Museum collection. Another is
in bronze and lias for its snhjeot an erect
female figure, nude, like the one in
marble, with the head of a satyr grin
ning over her shoulder. There are other
striking pieces, but these two are notably
•o. Many of the regular frequenters of
the place are sporting men and stock
brokers. A Wall street firm has an office
at one end of the .room, and the sound
of the ticker is heard all day. —Xew York

Itydrophobis or Insanityl
Newark physicians are puzzled to
diagnose the disease from which John
Wilkinson, a oar driver, living in Bose
ville, is suffering. Ho. was taken ill
several days ago and manifested all the
symptoms of hydrophobia. He snapped
and snarled an"d growled like an ugly
dog, but evinced no aversion to water;
when it was offered to him he bit the
dipper, but drank its contents, and from
this fact it is inferred that his disease is
not hydrophobia, but a form of insanity.
He creeps on his hands and knees, and
to keep him from attacking other per
rons and things with his teeth a cam; is
given him to gnaw. As he rolls it be
tween his teeth he growls and snarls
like a dog disappointed at finding no
meat on a bone that had been served to
It. When Dr. Titus went to the house
to prescribe for him he found a chair
against the door, and was obliged to
eumb in through the window. As the
doctor raised tne sash Wilkin, a sprang
at him with the ferocity ot a blood
hound, barking and snarling, and tried
to bite him. The phvsiolan seized him
by the hair, and held him until he had
put the sufferer in a straight-jacket.
Wilkinson’s friends say he was bitten by
a dog when young, and insist that he
has hydrophobia, notwithstanding the
judgment of the physioian to the con
trary. Dr. Titus believes that the
patient has been readingof hydrophobiar
and that the symptoms are doe to the
effect of the reading on his mind. He
is in a precarious condition. His fathei
was insane when he died.— ff. Y. Time*.
Healthfulncss of Milk.
If any one wished to grow fleshy, a
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawniest
bones. Although nowadays we see a
good many fleshy persons, there are a
great many' lean and lank ones, who
aigh for the fashionable measure of
plumpness, and who would be vastly
improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with
good, solid flesh. Nothing is more cov
eted by thin women than a full figure,
and nothing will so raise the ire and
provoke the scandal of the “ clipper
builds ” as the consciousness of plump
ness in a rival.
In cases of fever and summer com
plaint milk is now given with excellent
results. The idea that milk is feverish
ha* exploded, and it is now the physi
cian's great reliance in bringing through
typhoid patients, or those in too low a
state to be nourished by solid food. It
is a mistake to scrimp the milk pitcher.
Take more milk and buy less meat.
Hook to your milkman; haVe large
sized, well-filled milk pitchers on the
table each meal, and you will have sound
flesh and save doctors' bills.

is meant by this can best be explained
to those who, ortunately, have no
knowledge of it from experience or ob
servation, by an illustration or two: A
lady was makrng some purchases in a
large dry-goods store, paid the mono .-
to a yon fig lady who was waiting on
her, and it was sent by a cash-boy tothe
cashier. The money did not check
right, and she was sent for. Return nr,

The Olile t Tree In Hartford.
The o dc-t tree in Hartford since the
fall of the Ch rler < ak is located a few
feet south of the warehouse formerly
occupied by M. \V. ( liapin, at the foot
of berry street. It is a sycamore, ir
bwttouball and is known in the books
as ttatanii . oa.iitcnl'i and by the

feet in diameter at the ground, and
gilts twcnty-tivo teet live feet from its

high ground on the river bank, an t has
been a familiar feature of that locality
ever since.

this paragraph first saw it, over fifty
years sin- e. Its ma : n limbs and
branches were as sound and thri ty last

How a Water Moccasin Fishes.
A correspondent, writing from Plano,
Texas, describes as follows the manner
in which a moccasin used his body as a
sort of aieve in catching small fiah. His
snakeahip was in a shallow pool alfound
ing in minnows, and was briskly twist
ing and turning in all directions, giving
his body as many convolutions as possi
ble to inclose the fish or force them into
narrow spaces between him and the
back. In either case the fish would en
deavor to escape by leaping over the
snake's body into the water beyond.
Meantime the moccasin, with elevated
head, caught the fish in his mouth as
they passed through the air.— Scientiflo

“Have you, though? How much did

“Seventy-five dollars.”

“The Prodigal Sun.”
Now, there was a man who had twe !
tons.
And the younger of them said to bi |
father, “father, give me the portion of
goods that falleth to me.”
And he' divided unto him his living,
and tlie younger soil purchased himself
an oil-ciotli grip-sack and got him out of
that country.
And it came to pass that he journeyed
even unto Buckskin and the country that
lieth over against Lead villa.
And when he was come nigh unto the
gates of the city, he heard music and
dancing.
Aud he got him into that place, aud
when lie arose and went his way, a
hireling at the gates smote upon him
with a slung-shot of great potency, and
the younger son wist not how it was.
. Now in the second watch of the night
he arose and was aloue, and the pieces
of gold and silver were gone.
And it was so.
And hejirose and sat down and rent
Ids clothes and threw ashes aud dust
upon himself.
And ho went and joined himself unto
a ci:ia: n of that country, aud he sent him
down into a prospect shaft for to dig.
And ho had never before dug,
Wherefore when he spat. upon liis
hands and lay hold of the long-handled
1 shovel, wherewith tinSy are wont to
shovel, he struck his elbow upon the wail
of the shaft wherein he stood, and ho
poured the earth and tlie broken rocks
against the back of his neck.
And lie waxed exceeding wroth.
A:n! he tried even yet again, and be
hold! tho handle of his shovel became
tangled between his legs, and ho filled
his ear nigh full of decomposed slate,
and the porphyry which is in that region
round about.
And ho wist not why it was so.
Now, after many days the shovelers
with their shovels, and tlie pickers with
their picks, and the blasters with their
blasts, and the holsters with their hoists,
banded themselves together, and each
said to hi.-; fellow:
(So to! Let v.s strike. And they stroke.
And they that stroke were as the sands
of tho sea for multitude, aud they wore
terrible as an array with banners.
And they blew upon the ram’ horn aud
tho cornet, and saebut, aud the flute,
and the bass drum.
Now it came to pass that the younger
son joined not with them wlucli did
strike, neither went he out to his work,
nor on the highway, lest at any time they
that did strike should fall upon him and
flatten him. out, and send him even imto
liis home packed in ieo, which is oven
after tho fashion of that people.
And he began to be in want.
And he went and joined himself unto a
citizen of that country; and ho sent him
iuto the lunch room to find tourists.
And lie fain would have filled himself
up with tlie adamantine cookies and tho
indestructible pie and vulcanized sand
wiches which the tourists did eat.
And no man gave unto him.
Aud when ho came to himself he said:
How many hired servants hath my father
on the farm with bread enough and to
spare, and t perish with hunger?
And he resigned his position in the
lunch business and arose null went unto
liis father.
But when he was a great way off he
telegraphed to his father to kill the old
cow and make merry, for, behold! he
had struck it rich; and the old gentleman
paid for the telegram.
Now, tho elder son was in the north
field plowing with a pair of balky mules,
mid when lie came and drew nigh to the
house ho heard music and dancing.
And he could not seem to wot why
these things were thus.
And ho took the girl by the ear and
led her away, and asked her, whence
cometh this unseemly hilarity?
And she smote him with the palm of
her hand, and said: “This, thy brother
hath conic, and was dead and is alive
again,” and they begun to have a high
old time.
And the cider son kicked even as the
government mule kicketh, and he wns
ot under tho collar, and he gathered up
an armful of profanity and flung it in
among the guests, and got him up and
girded his loins and lit out.
And he got him to one learned in the
law, and lie replevied the entire ranch on
which they aero, together with all and
singular the hereditaments, right, title,
franchise, estate, both in law and in
equity, together with all dips, spurs, an
gles, crooks, variations, leads, veins oi
lead or silver ore, mill-sites, dam-sites,
flumes, and each and every one of them
firmly by these presents.

On the slopes of Amethyst Mountain,
from two thousand to three thousand
feet above the river valley, in the Yellow
stone Park, are exposed at different
levels, at intervals through the entire
height, a series of silicified trees, many
rooted in the position in which they
grew, and from twenty to thirty feet in
height. Some lying down are of great
size, the fragments measuring eiglity
two feet in diameter, and comparable to
the giant Sequoins. The series of sand
stones and conglomerates in which the
trees are imbeded are more than five
thousand feet thick, forming a vertical
mile of fossil forests, the woody structure
well preserved; but where cavities have
been formed in the trunks of the rotting
wood they are lined with crystals of
