He wn* a lorn*, slim nmn, with every •Pl tear, .nee of hard times, and a long nose ou his face. He went into a saloon on M in street, Detroit, aud said to the bar-keeper: “ Prei>are me a glass of the cheerful invigorator." The bar-keeper looked him all over, looked at his clothes, and answered: “First allow my eyes to rest upon tho complexion of your currency.” “ In my purse l have numerous and various denominations of the currency of our realm, with which I will cheer fully requite you, when I have par taken of your refreshments,” said tho long man, tupping his pocket. The bar-keeper said he didn’t know, but finally poured out it glass of the liquor. The long man grasped it eagerly, backed up to the stove, and eye i t lie contents of tho glass with a critical air. “They tell me that in one of our Western cities, divers wicked men bate been en. iged in the fraudulent manufacture of this article. Is it so ?” The bar-keeper said he believed if was. The long man , enr ' led the pi, ss, and put it on tne counter. Then he said: “It is passing strange that in on age when knowledge is disseminated so freely, that truth and virtue are not paramount. Instead, Ignorance and vice run riot, and the papers teem with accounts of new rascalities un earthed each day.” “There’s fifteen cents to pay for that whiskey,” interrupted tho bar keeper. “Our country Is just entering upon her existence for another century. It Is fearful to reflect that at the end of • century she may be still further ad vanced in crime. Just look hack and g ee “ Yes, I know; but just pay me for that glass of whiskey, and then you can bounce,” broke in the bar-keeper, •ngi ily. “ Peace, my friend,” said the long nmn. “ You ask of me that which is utterly beyond the bounds of possi bility." “Do you mean to say that you haven’t any money ?” Inquired the bar-keeper, the short heir on the back of his head standing out horizontally. “Such, my esteemed friend, is the ooneluslon which you may draw from my feeble remarks,” said the long man. The bar-keeper turned back his cuffs, spit on his hands, and bounded •lrlly over the bar Ho grasped the long man firmly by the scruff of the neck, and began waltzing toward the door, Implanting kick after kick in that ixirtlon of the long man’s frame which nature designed to be kicked. They reached the door safely, and •s the bar-keeper, with a kick of ex traordinary dimensions, shot the long man through it, ho sententiously ex claimed : “ Take it out of that!” A BKOLLATIII.S- THAT OCGIIT TO EE EIiOUr.Ai'EIJ. Here is a funny little story of tho SPu Fq angled Circumlocution Office. Sew rat years ago a gentleman of Troy hoe.;lit t.vo books and read them. Wiulo iending them he made certain cointneiiis upon the matter of the ookson the margins of several peges. A few months ago ho loaned t.icse books to a relative who before finish ing them went to Denver, Colorado, to reside. A week ago this person deposited in the Post Office at Denver these two book, properly wrapped in accordance wiih the rules of the Post Office Department, and v.-ith the pro per amount in postage stamps upon them to pay the prescribed postage on books. Somewhere on the puma Postmaster opened the hooks (ee be h-w a right to do:, and finding win mg upon the pages, be charged up he >r posiuge, ami tie innocent owner of the books is inquired to )>y el and” postage. Now if the borrower of the books Lad written a letter to the lender upon leaves of the books, or had thus attempted to impart any in formation to him, then we can see eotue reason why the postage should be uwde at letter ra'es. Hut in this case the Looks are returned precisely as they were wuen loaned, without a single additional pencil mark upon them. It seems to us that each post master should have the power to pass upon matters uf this kind, and remit the postage charged when it is clear that there has been nr intention to violate the law. As the rule now is, it Is c arely very silly boy’s play on tho part of a great government. Charles ftoheff.er has contracted to 1 ury dead Chicago paupers for $1.40 ( cb, and cay- t! o'- he means to sell the bodi ;6 ior diesection. He argues that there is r.o law to prevont the business, that the burial, after the doctors are through with tho corpses, will fulfill'the contract, and that the plan wiibsave money for the city, In i.sruuch as in no other way could a contractor do thp work at the price. pr , A WELL-POSTED BOY. History never jumps over Detroit There are too many old battle grounds •round here for the historian to get past without at leust a few paragraphs. The fight ut Hldbdy Bun lias been w idely read of and strangers often ask to have the locality pointed out. Yes terday a man who dropped off a street car at tho Jefferson avenue bridge to look around and let memory carry him back to Indian days, felt anxious to know how the light came to be called Bloody Run. By and by a boy came slamming along, and the stran ger beckoned to him and askod : “Sonny, Is this Bloody Bun?” “You are bloody right it Is,” was the rejoinder. “Bight around here is where the British troops were, is it?” “Yes sir; aud down in the gully there were the bloody Injuns.” “And they fought?" “Bloody sure. They didn’t come here to play, you bet.” “Was there much loss?” " A bloody big on.” “Can you tell in#,” continued the stranger, looking around, why they call it Bloody Bun?” “Yes, sir; cos’ when them soldiers found there were ten Injuns to one wlijK man they run so bloody fast that you nan find old boot-heels around here yet!” The stranger may have taken tom* away us relics. He was seen hunting up and down the street.

The American watch has now ob tain lan almost universal reputation t>. criority over the English watch an i i.us, in great part, because of the less number .f pieces of which It Is compos.:!. Tims the former, of tho key winder class, contains a 143 pieces, and the stem winder 155 pieces, The English watch, on the other hand, is compu t 'd of 638 more pieces than the American, tho excess being found in the fusee and chain. According to the length and fineness of the clv.’in the Eriglinii manufacture contains from sixty-four to seventy pieces to the inch, tho fusee and Its attachments about forty-eight pieces, aud this ac counts for tho • greater number of pieces comprised in the English arti cle. So well are tha advantages of the American principle In this re spect now understood by the English makers that tho manufacturers of tho celebrated Frodsham watches have for some thus past done away with the fusee anl chain, thus reducing tho number of pieeos. - 1 .

A WEST INDIA IIUItKIOA WE. In the year 1860, occurred the most terrible hurricane experienced in tho West India Islands, during the pres ent. century. The ocean rolled completely over Hog Island Into the harbor of Nassau, in surges so enormous, that the crest was even with the gallery of the. light lnmsf, slaty feet above the sea. Houses and forests went down be fore the, wind like reeds;, many which withstood its force when it blew Trout north ist collapsed when It shifted to southwest.

About, two o’clock A.
