AX EDITOR S TRAGEDY.
He was the “telegraph on a pa*
per, and all through the and morn
ing hours he cut the sheets of manifold*
j dotted the “i’s,” put in straight
ened the twisted occasion
ally swore at the operator, Irho had made
such poor copy, He was, %t the time I
knew him, strictly temper*te, as I after
wards learned, due to the f*pt that while
: in New.Orleans no had fallqp in love With
a young girl in moderate fircomstances,
who had promised him to become his
wife when he should consider himself in
circumstances to warrant %uch a step.
He never told me this, butVten spoke of
preferring to live in a small city, away
from the boys, where he co|dd save seme
money. He had a picture of a youug
lady, that wafc always on fcis desk, and
often in the night his eyes would winder
from the manifold and looktfor five-min
utes on the face —that of sweet-faced,
beautiful girl, with dark h|ir and large
eyes, that in the picture seemed deep and
languid.
One night, or rather it was
nearly time for the paper toigo to press,
the night editor came in and|Baid:
“Mr. , how is the repfert coming ?”
The 'Western Union “kit” had just
brought in the. last sheet of dfepy and the
telegraph editor replied:“ thirty is in.”
[When the telegraph operator receives the
last dispatch for the night he jwrites under
it the conventional sign ‘*Bo.”j The night
editor said unless there w T a* something
important, to “kill it,” for if was getting
late.
My friend, with his pencil' in his fin
gers, ran hastily through it, f|ad when he
leached the last paragraph sfopyed short
and for a moment turned pale us death,
while his pencil dropped front his fingers.
But he recovered himself in a moment f
and in reply to the night elitor’s ques
tion, said wearily : “There ale tw r o par
graphs—one on the Beecher trial, and
another about some young lady being
struck by lightning in a town in Louis
iana ; that’s all.” “Send up the one
about Beecher and kill the other,” said
the night editor ; “nobody in this pftrt of
the country cares a continental about any
young lady being killed two thousand
miles from here, not at this time in the
morning.”
My friend wrote a head for the Beecher
article and put the rest of the manifold
paper in his pocket. He then put on his
coat with a tired air and left the office,
passing tio reporter ui the adjoin
ing room Wl|h & brief good night.
Next evening lie did not show up at-the
usual hour, and the night editor swore,
for ne had to handle the telegrapu him"
self. It was two days before I saw or
heard of my friend, and then I heard that he
had quit'his job, and I went to his room
w r ay down on'Elm street.
“I am not well,” he said: “I had to
quit night work awhile. I’m about done
lip.” That was about all he said, and for
a w r eek, as I made calls on him, it was the
same. He got no better, but said w hen he
got over a bad cold he would be all right.
Two w r eeks later he died. A doctor had
attended him, and said it was a kind of
quick consumption. In his pockets were
hall a dozen letters; one which the dead
man had evidently written and neglected
to mail,was directed to Miss Annie E.
Clement, New .Orleans. I was intending
to mail it when I came across, among the
papers found in his pockets, a bit ot man
ifold copy, on which was written, as near
as I can remember, the following:
New T Orleans, B.—During severe thunder
stojin this evening lightning struck house
of Mrs. E. Clement, No.—Carondelct. street
and lady’s daughter, Annie, age twenty,
instantly killed.
That evening I went down to the office
w T here the dead man had worked.. Anew
man w'as “doing the telegraph,” and no
body seemed to remember that the. man
had there. The picture was
pushed over to the window sill and was
covered with dust. It was the picture of
Annie, who had been killed by the bolt that
day that the telegraph editor had quit his
desk forever. The picture, with ihe let
ters, were mailed to the girl’s motuer, with
a short notice of*the death, but no one
ever told her that the blow that broke the
poor hardened newspaperman’slv-art was
the unimportant paragraph that the night
editor had orded “killed.”
.LIFE AT SING SING.
Bouton Journal.
An interesting and very inexpensive
experiment in convict education has been
made during tlpe last three years in Sing
Sing Prison, under the management of
Warden Bursh. Scarcely any one is dis
charged from Sing Sing how who cahnot
read, write, and cast up accounts. Each
class meets three times a week for
an hour and a half of instruction, and the
convicts are allowed lights in their rooms
until 9 o’clock lor additional study.
Reading, writing and arithmetic are .the
subjects principally taught, and there
is no difficulty ia finding instructors
among the higher grades of mminalsY
The effect of these night schools is seen
not only in the giving occupation to 1 the
minds of the prisoners and ftn parting to
them the elements of a simph* education
but in a marked elevation in their morals
,They are more tractable and . more am
‘bitious, and are more easily infltn ti ed by
thoughts of a better life. The emire ex
pense of the introduction of th system

A HOME OF YOUK OWN.
Good Advice to a Young Married Cauple.
A Cmse in Point,
One of the very first things that a
young married couple should t-hmk of, is
the getting of a home of their own ;a house
which is theirs “4© have and to hold” for
lifetime, if possible; one that shall be to
their children a place around which all
their youthful memories gather, and
bring a glow to their hearts, no mutter
what may come to them in after years;
one in which each eroom will, in process
of time, beoowe endeared through its
associations. It may seem far away in
the distance at first, but persistent
thought and effort in that will
briugit to puss in time, rim! much sooner
than at first seemed probable. JNe
ceesity or expediency may make renting
the only thing to do for a season, but I
still adhere to the opinion that it is the
truest economy and highest wisdom to
get a home of your own at the earliest
moment that you can makeitprocticable.
These peripatetic* people have rarely
much of value that they can call their
own, for in the very nature of things
they oould not have. The family lack
of permanency in regard to a home
which is always so desirable, and espe
cially when people are upon the dow’n
hill side of life. While young and vigo
rous , with brains busy with what is
goiqg on in the world, its absence is not
felt so mueh, but the day must come
when the intercuts will be gradually with
drawn .with the waning strength from
purely outside matters anticenter within
the home, and it is then that the [lieait
longs for and is best satisfied with what
long habit has made dear and familir.
Another thing ir true. Your expen
ditures are much more likely to be care
fully looked after if you have such an
object in view. I know a couple who
boarded for some years after their mar
riage, then ranted a house and went to
housekeeping. They lived up to every
cent of their income, though never run
ning in debt. Finally they concluded to
have a home of their own, and took ad
vantage of the installment plan; that is,
they had a house built for them by per
sons who mSke that sort of thing their
business, gave a morgage upon it to se
cure the builder, and paid fer it in
monthly installments. The undertaking
caused a complete change in their way of
living. Without being nigardly, they
looked closely after expenses, and found
that they could enjoy life just as well as
ever, aud even better, because they had
a definite object in view which absorbed
their thoughts, and for which they were
planing from day to day. They go
without many little luxuries to which
they were accustomed, but they do not
feel the deprivation in the comfort they
take in what is to be really a home, not
just simply a temporary place to live in.

A PALACto TRAGEDY,
M. Maspero added an incident of a pe
culiarly horrible character to the story
of the unwrapping of the royal mummies
of the Deir-ei-Bahari. Anfbng them was
found the body of -a mau between 25
and 30 - years of age, bearing neither
name nor description of any kind, which
is by it seif- an extraordiuavy circum
stance. Jntead of having been em
balmed in the usual way, the body had
merely been dried by some skillful pro
•cess, without removing any internal or
gans, and had been covered with a thick
layer of some mixture at once fatty and
caustic. Above all, the attitude of the
corpse, its bent legs, its feet turned
against each other, its clenched hands,
the expression of its face—all combined
to indichte that the unknown person had
died in extreme agony.
At first M. Maspero was tempted to
suspect that he had come across a case
of the embalmment of. a living man—a
form of murder which it is not difficult
to reconcile with Egyptian usage. Med
ical men, however, who had been con
sulted, were disposed rather to recog
nize the symptoms of poisoning. In
any case, we.are brought face to fade
with a palace tragedy, for a body found
among the royal mummies of Deir-el-
Bahari can hardly be other than that of
a princely personage.—London Acad

THE HOTEL CLERK.
How Hi* Patjeace i* Tax*d Answering
. the Questions of Many Guests
At a little after 6 o’clock* Sunday night
a line of men, each carrying a hand-bag,
stood in front of the marble counter in
the Continental Hotel effiee, waiting their
turn to get to the register! Most of the
men were actors', theatrical managers and
a I vance agents. Clerk Hewes, with a
broad smile, welcomed each man as lie
reached the register. Bell-boys* were
flying about'in every direction and'Clerk
Hewes pressed the big' silvet gong for
more bell boys, while he worked a freadle
with his feet that communicated with the
porter’s quarters.
“Show' this gentleman to.* 29f,*f said
Clerk Hewes, handing the bell-boy a key
to the room, and to the pdrter he said:
.“Trunk to go to 291, make fire in 411
and get baggage out of 171 for 8 o’clock
train.”
“Here, boy, sliow r Mr.Barrett to MY.Ray
mond’s room and stop on your way back
in 97 and see what’s wanted and stop in
the dining room and tell ilfe beach waiter
to serve supper in 121.”
“What is flie next train for New York
please?” a guest asked.
“7:20. Parlpr ' car3. Through from
Washington, 'gets 'to New' York at ten
o’clock,” and Clerk J Hewes trod on the
tieadle again and another porter ap
peared.
“Take baggage to 871 and see if those
sample trunks in 293 are ready to come
down stairs.”
“Mr. Hewes,” said one Of the bellmen,
“lady in 419 wants meat for her little
dog.”
“What!” said Mr. Hewes. “Tell her
she’ll have to send her dog to the porter’s
room. We don't’•feed dogs in guests’
rooms.”
Clerk Hewes tapped on the treddle
again and told the porter, who popped up
in front of the counter, to put coal on the
lire in 301, to get the baggage out of 63
and put it in 82 and tell the gasfitter to
see what ■was the mutter with the gas
in 74.
“Mr. Hewes,” said another bell-man,
“gentleman in 396 wants his room chang
ed. Don’t like the color of the carpet.”
“Very well; put him in 330, the carpet’s
black in that room, and take a pitcher of
ice water to 296. Tell the chambermaid
to change in 182 and 193, and tell Mr,
Mesayer his advance agent w r ants to s*d
him at once.”
“What is the besfc church to go ; tp to
night?” asked an elderly man.
“Oh, I don’t know T ANARUS, sir. Tlieylte all
good. Messaros and are
drawing big crowds.” replied the clerk.
“Here, Edward, take this telegram to
231. If the gentleman isn’t in, bunt for
him till you find him.”
“Any letters for me?” asked a man who
had registered a few hours before.
“ What is the name, please? Tompkins?
Oh yes. No sir, no letters. Telegams?
No sir, np telegrams. Next mail arrives.
8:20 from New York; Western mail 10
o’clock.”
“If any telegrames or letters c<pme for
me,” said a departing guest, “send to the
Gilsey House, New York, up to January
2; after that send them to Barnum’s,
Baltimore. I expect a package by ex
press, too; same addresses.”
“What time do you have breakfast?”
asked a big fat man with a red face.
“Six to. eleven, sir; luncb, twelye to
three; dinner three to seven; supper, eight
to twelve. JSuppei’s ready now, sir.”
Mr. Hewes,” said a bell-man. “No. 497
L ■.

stamps.” ‘
“Mr. Stokes, charge 497 with four two
cent stamps and charge 392 ‘with twentyr
seven cents fdt messeng&r boy.”
“Lady in 27 wants a hair-dresser right
away,” Sang a bell-man.
“Tell the lady waiting in the parlor that
her husband telegraphs he will be detained
in New York all night,” said Clerk
Hewes. - *
“Gent in- 630 wafrts a doctor,” said
another bell-man.
“Gent in 137 w*ants bis laundry taken
down and returned in half an hour.”
“Whitt?’’ asked Clerk Hewes. “Washed,
ironed and returned in half an hour?
Can’t be done-.”
“Lady in 72 wants a list of all trains
leaving Philadelphia, Mr. Hewes.”
“Take her all the time tables in the
racks,” said Clerk Hewes.
“Phew,” said Clerk Hewes, “I’m th4d.

Intensive farming might be practiced

There is too great a tendency to farm too

broken down fences ami neglected land,
and is the bane of successful tillage of the
soil. farmers need to learn to concen
trate their, energies, time, intelligence,
labor, etc., upon a few facies, 'and make
these produce more than ever before, in
stead of spreading their labor over so
much surface that none of it can be made
to produce its full quota. All these things
have a tendency to tell upon the flourish
