“Hello,” snya n business mnn, ns ho
camo down the nvenuc one morning
this week, to n melancholy 1 (Hiking clinp
that hnd neon better days, “yon look a
little off color. Wlint you up to now?”
“O, A little of every thing," said the hard
looking citizen, “just been she rounds
of the fair* Helling soup to cruse grease.
Money enough in it, when you can get a
bar of common son|i for live, cent* and
cut it up into fifty pieces, and hcII them
for ten centR, with n little tin foil on,
but the giangcrs are all on to the
Kclictno, thanks to the newspapers, and
a mini can’t make ndcccnt living.”
“Why, three yearn ngo yon wore Hell
ing lightning rods and flying high,”
Raid the merchant. “Yon hnd a dia
mond pin, and champagne was not good
enough for you. Weil, time changes all
things.”
"There's where you are right,” Hnid
the hard looking citizen, “And the
news papers are to blame for it all. 1
have seen the time 1 could make fifty
dollars a day putting up lightning rods.
Drive up to a house and talk to n man
about rodding his barn, at ho much a
foot, and lie’ would figuro Hint it would
cost, Bay, sixteen dollars, and ho would
sign nn order. Before the ink was cold
I would havo seven or oiglit men with
ladders, all over that barn. Tlioy would
go over it liko cats on n buck fenoe, and
put points on every corner, and conduc
tors tin every side. The farmer and his
family would look on in nmnzcmcnt,
and be so pleased nt the improved look
of the old barn that they would not kick
at the number of jMiints. Then we
Would go off without collecting tho bill,
and in aliout n week our oolloctor would
come along with u bill for tlireo hundred
and eighty-seven dollars and forty-seven
cents, and tho farmcr’H note nil signed,
and demand tho pay. The farmer
might faint away, but he hnd to pay it.
O, of oourse, if ho seemed hurt, we
would throw off tho odd cents, just to
show n Christian spirit. But tho con
demned tiuwspnpcrH liavo kept tnlking
about highway robbery under the dis-
guiso of lightning roil peddlers, till it iH
ns much ns n man’s life is worth to go
through tho country ou a lightning rod
wagon. Actually, tlioy dinned mo out
of Dodgo county two yearn ngo with
dogs. At least I thought they wore
after me, but I found out after 1 got out
of tho county nlivo thnt it was n pack of
hounds belonging to Vnn Brunt, of
Horioon, after n fox. But I want to sny
to yon in confidence, that when 1 heard
tlione hounds, and saw tho men on horse
back, no streak of greased lightning
ever mndo better time than I did with
that lightning real wagon. I felt almost
ns seared ns I did out in Minnesota dur
ing tho Ozicr willow excitement."
"What about tho Ozier willow oxoito-
mont,” asked the mcrchnnt. “I never
henrd about that.”
“ Didn’t yon over hoar about thnt ?
Well, 1 must tell yon. Tlmt was too
■good,” and tho seedy man laughed.
" Don’t you remember, about fifteen
years ago, the agrleul turn! papers wore
advocating tho planting of Ozier willows
on prairie farms? Every paper was full
of it. Tlioy olalmod that if farmers
would set out Ozier willow cuttings
around the farms, they would grow so
rapidly mid lmnly, that tho Hint year tho
willows would ini.ko tho best kind of
fences, nml after that they would furnish
an nnfailir.g supply of fuel. M.v partner
and I went out in Southom Minnesota,
and wo took orders for over thirty thou
sand dollars’ worth ofj Ozier willow cut
tings. Every farmer snapped at them.
Wo wont to tho bottoms, along tho Mis
sissippi rivor, along in tho spring, mid
out willows, those common willows, mid
in tho spring wo delivered thorn nuil
look our money, or the farmers’ notes,
which we sold ut tho bunks. Tho farm
ers sot out tho cuttings, oxpootiug to
realize all that the papers hail said. I
don’t think a single willow of tho tons of
llionsamls that wo delivered, ever grew.
They were of no account ou earth. I
never thought much about it afterward,
exoept to laugh at the farmers, till four
years ago some fellows wanted mo to go
“tint in Minnesota, shooting ohiekeus. I
didn’t think 1 would sec anybody I had
ever sold willows to, but one day our
party took dinner nt n farm-house’, near
Albert Lea. Tho farmer looked nt mo,
and after a while he says to his wife,
“ Mnriar, that man looks liko the pirate
thnt sold us them nre Ozier Willors,”
and Mnriar put on her spectacles and
looked nt me and said, “ Hiram, it is the
snme critter, ns sure ns you live.” Well,
X was iu a fix. But 1 tumbled to myself
in nn instaut, and got up from the table
and Bbook linmls with them, and told
them I had seen the error of my ways,
and joined the church, and was now
traveling through the country making
amends fpr the swindle, by paying back
the amounts that laid been paid to mo,
unci X actually paid that old granger nine
dollars and sixty cents, and then tlio-old
fellow was pleased. When lie told his
boy to saddle up tho old mare ami go
around to the neighbors and fell them
the Ozier willow pirate was there to pay
them back, I told the boys we lind lustier
go out and shoot a few chickens and
come buck to supper, and I could pay
them all off in a body. We gut nwnv
and took a freight train fm Austin, and
1 got out of that country alive, but J
heard tlmy wore pivpari-ii ;r ‘vtioii me.
1 wouldn’t gi back to Suiilhci:: Minne
sota for a million dollars. O. time* are
different now. Yon don’t want n . buy
cake of soap to take out grease spots, do
you ?”
The merchant said he had some pretty
good bar son)) at home, am: the interview
concluded.
“X tfll you,” said tho bad boy, con
fidentially, to a group of youthful
friends, “my mother may seem small—
don’t 1 relieve she’d weigh more than I
do, in hor stocking feet—but her slip
pers are heavy, you bet 1”

[From tlin New York Trilinnc.]
"The trouble about Mr. Irving’a prop
erties," raid a Custom House oflieial tho
other day, "reminds mo of a curious
coso which name under my notice some
few years ngo. I was an examiner in
Iboso days mnl cultivated Hint sixth
sense, which all capable examiners ac
quire, wherobv they o in tell nt a glance
whether or not, tin homeward-bonud
traveler is trying to'bout' tho Govern
ment. Olio day my attention was call' d
ton remarkably well dressed nml rather
nttraetivo-looking woman who arrived
on a Ounnrdcr. No. sir I I am a mar-
ried man and it was not her looks, ns you
suggest, but her trunks which attracted
mo. Tlioy were numerous nml capacious
and when opened displayed garment
alter garment at the richest m iterials
and most fashionable design. To my
mntn glance of astonishment nt her dec
laration that no dutiable articles were
nmong them she cnmly took the ground
from beiientli my foot by Haying Hint slio
was an actress and her wardrobe was,
therefore, exempt from duty as ‘tools
of trade.’ X must confess that I still felt
dubious, but my doubts were dissipated
when, with much indignation nt my re
peated hints, slio produced a oontract
signed by one of the lending New York
managers engaging her for a season of
forty weeks. I apologized na well ns I
could and slio departed with an indig
nant whirl of her petticoats.
“That night I chanced to be standing
in tho lobby of the theater owned by
the manager whoso signature was at tho
bottom of tho contract X had scanned
in tho morning. 'Pine-looking woman,
your now uelress,’ said X. ‘What now
actress? 1 said ho. 'Why, Miss ,’
said I, mentioning tho nnrno of the lady
with tho trunks. ‘What are you giving
hr?' retorted Uio manager. 'I nover
henrd tho name in my life.' 1 turned
hot and cold by turns for a humiliating
sense of the plan by which I had boon
done for Hashed noross me. I went be
hind tho soonoB and saw tho manager's
partner to make sure, and then J started
off—10 o'clock nt night and raining eats
and dogs.
“It would not do to toll you tho
moans I used to obtain my ends, for
Iboso are oflieial secrets; it is enough
to Hny that shortly after midnight X had
nil tho goods in the custody of one of
my men nml my lady herself Hafo under
lock and key. Him was olio of tho load
ing dressmakers of this city and would
havo notted by her clever little scheme
a good many hundred dollars if it had
only worked—but it didn't, so slio got
six months and a lino of $5,000 instead.
Hho didn't pay the lino because she
couldn't, lmt hIio whs ruined nil tho
same and has sinoo left New York.
"A mnu gels pretty sharp, but wo slip
up occasionally. For instance, wo re
ceived word from Europe nbout two
years ngo thnt a ninn, of whom an ac
curate description was given, would
leave England on n certain steamer nml
probably would attempt to snmgglo n
largo quantity of diamonds over hero
with him. lfo would travel with a fe
male companion, wo wore told, but hor
description was not sent to ns. Tho
easo was one which promised good re
sults, so I and an inspector wont down
on tho revenue cutter and boarded (ho
Rliip at quarantine ns private citizens.
Wo soon spotted our man and kept an
eye on him nml watched all his move
ments nml tho movements of tho fuir-
hnircil damsel whose shawls ho was
carrying, us n eat watches a mouse,
Wlieii wo landed every articlo was
turned out of his trunks and closely ex
amined. Tho trunks themselves were
measured anil prodded and taliped nml
still no diamonds appeared. In spite of
his struggles and far from Biblical
language lie himself was searched in the
most thorough manner. Then came the
lady's turn auil she was pul through
precisely the same process with the snme
migvntifyiiig results,.though the language i
shn used if ns pointed as his was less
stronglv compounded. As no diamonds
nr anything elso of a dutiable nature
was found wo had to lot the pair go,
though I was convinced that in some in
scrutable manner lie had Mieceedi d in
hoodwinking iih. Ho indeed it turned
out. Wo hail ilono all wo enulil nml nave
for n trilling error, ns we afterward dis
covered, would luivo prevented jewels
worth $85,000 coming into this country

“Wlint was the error ?”
"Wo searohrd the wrong woman. Ilia
real companion lind slipped quietly away
unrecognized by biui while wo lind sub
jected lo, from her point of view, unpar
alleled indignities, the wife of a prnin'
nent actor whom our smuggling friend
had shown somo slight uttontiou to on
the voyage.”
“Did you hear anything more of
them ?”
“Yes, her husband threatened to bring
suit.”
“Of the diamonds, I mean.”

A Lesson In Raxing.
“Fa told my chum ami me thnt it was
no harm to learn to box, cause wo could
defend (iiirsolves, nnd he said lie used to
bo a holy terror with the hexing gloves
will'll lie was a boy, nml he has been
giving us lessons. Well, he is no slouch
now I toll you, nnd handles himself
pretty well for a church member. I
read in the paper how Zaoli Chandler
played it on Colliding by getting .loin
Mace, the prize tighter, to knock him
silly, and 1 asked pa if lie wouldn’t let
me bring a poor boy, who hnd no father
to teach him boxing, to our house to
learn to box, and pa said certainly,
fetch him along. He said he would bo
glad to do anything for a poor orphan.
Ho J went down in tho Third ward nml
got an Irish boy l>y tho name of Duffy,
who can knock the socks off of any boy
in the ward. He fit a prize figlit once.
It would havo made von laugh to see
pa tell him how to hold his hands and
how to guard his face. lie told Duffy
not to bo afraid, but to strike out nnil
hit for keeps. Duffy said he was afraid
pa would get mail if he bit him, nnd pa
said, ‘ Nonsense, boy, knock me down if
you can, nml I will laugh ha! ha!’ Well,
Dully lie hauled back and gave pa one
in the nose nml another in both eyes,
and cuffed him on iho ear and punched
him in the stomach, and lammed him in
the mouth nml mndo his teeth bleed, and
then he gave him a side-winder iu both
eyes, nml pa pulled off tho boxing
gloves and grabbed a chair, and we ad
journed and went down stairs as though
there was a panic. 1 haven’t seen pa
since. Was his eye very black?"
“Black ? I should say so, ” said tho
grocery man. “And his nose seemed to

“I liavo a easo of pulsating ex-oph-
thnlmus nt the Mielinel Reese Hospital,"
said Dr. Boerno Uetbmnn to a reporter.
“There hnve been but ten oases of tho
disease reported in America. Very few
physicians ever met with a ease. I
liavo been fortunate enough to see one
patient before this. My subject is a
young man who was wnylaid and
snud-bngged. He has suffered most
from the throbbing in liis eyes and tho
veins running back over liis forehead,
which are greatly distended, and the ter
rible pains in liis head. Both eyes nro
abnormally swollen and protruding, and
the loft ono is turned toward tho nose,
causing him to see double. I account
for liis suffering and present ooudition
on the ground tlmt ex-ophthalmus
was produced by the blows ho received
on tho back of the head. Tho internal
carotid artery, which carries blood to
the brain, nnd the large vein which
carries blooil from the brain to
tho heart run closely together for
about an inch nt the base of the skull.
Well, where the blows were received a
slight fracture of the skull took place,
and a spienlaof bone was driven through
Iho vein and artery, so thnt the blood
from each obstructs the flow of uutritivo
blood to tho brain, on tho one hand, and
the exhausted blood to the heart on the
other. The stagnation thus brought
aliout is responsible for the pulsating,
‘.ho throbbing in the head, tho swelling
of the veins, etc. Unless this difficulty
is relieved tho patient will die of upo-
ilexy.”—Chicago News.

A resilient of Japan, in a recent let-
tor, says thnt the country is not making
so much progress as is generally sup
posed. Tho change is mostly on the
surface. There aro professions of re
gard for the peoplo of other nations,
but tiie lute Satsiimn rebellion was a
formidable outbreak of tho anti-for
eign sentiment. Tho edicts against
Christianity lmve never been abolished.
The people really havo a contempt for
foreigners, and tho Government is fast
discharging those of that class in its
employ, and tho number nt present is
very small. Some of tho lenders of
public opinion believe that, with a few
iron-clods and torpedo-boats fora navy,
Japan will take its place among tho
great nations of tho earth, and be prac
tically independent of Western civiliza
tion.

Is it n trunk lino?" and he swelled out
pompously as he awaited the reply.
“I reokon it is,” replied the New

inquired the Western passenger agent
with a remarkable show of interest.
“Only one,” sighed the New Yorker.
“The division between the conductor anti
