A Naval Joke. —When Barrios sees
the United States navy, a considerable
part of which has been ordered to Cen¬
tral America, says an exchange, it is ex¬
pected that he will lay down his arms
and flee to the mountains. The United
States navy is not much on efficiency,
bat it is great on appearanoes.
IIUTLKK’K HOLD DEFIANCE.

General Butler was seen at his office
in Boh ton relative to tho chances of hie
yacht America in tho forthcoming race
for .to, Qumo’* Cup. “Tho Ameri™,”
.aid tho General, “won tho oup origi
nally, and I thinkahe ahoold have an
opportunity to defend her henora.
They have eon.truetod .ome sort of a
mMhtoe abroad 81 «t long 15 eet
w|de, and drawing 15 feet of water,
wtoob they expect will carry off he
trophy. They might jnat as well aa. a
slungle. A trial between the America
and vessels constructed after the ideas of
modern naval architecture will show,
too whether recent improvement, have
added anything to the speed of sailing
vessels. I have never met a vessel sur
passing the America in speed, and,
while I am not a betting man I will
wager a reasonable sum that .he can
outsail any yachtto the worid under the
rules of the New York Yacht Club.
That is a standing offer, and I shall be
glad to accommodate anybody who
thinks he has a yacht that can beat her
Captain James H "bo Genera
Butler stipulates shall sail the yacht
America provided she is allowed to de
feud the Queens Cup against the Eng
lish yachts which are coming over here
this summer, is the wel known Bostou
Bay pilot and one of the owners of pilot
boat No. 3. In a conversation with a
reporter on the chanoes of the America
winning in such a race as is proposed,
he said that under ordinary oirenm.
stances the America would be heavily
handicapped. The English yachts are
cutter modelled and are built solely for
raeing purposes, while the America is a
schooner and is more of a pleasure boat
than a racer.
Still she was never so fast as now,
either to windward or running, and with
an eight to a ten knot breeze she could
defeat any yacht of her size or rig in, the
world. Although not in the race he had
•no difficulty in going over the course
with the Countess of Dufferin when she
raood for the cup and beating her hand¬
somely. The America, he said, is a
wonderful boat, and with her weather
should she meet the Englishmen—there
is no doubt that she would make a
splendid race. If the America was ad¬
mitted to the eontest Captain Reid said
that he should sail her, bnt owing to her
rig he was afraid that the New York
olub would not permit her to sail. How¬
ever, nothing had beei^ settled yet and
it would probably be some time before
anything definite would be arrived at.
An Actor’s Good Angel.
Herr Sonnenthal, the celebrated
German actor, who is now playing an
engagement in New York city, tells a
reporter the following tale: "For twelve
years past I have been followed almost
daily by a woman. I have never spoken
Qne syllable to her, nor she to me.
Never has the slightest communication
of any kind passed between us. For
twelve years I have seen her almost
nightly at the theatre; I have caught
occasional glimpses of her at a window
or on the balcony of some house in some
street in whioh I might be living; I have
met her in obscure villages when on
some tour or rest. Whenever I fail to
see her, some piece of ill lnok always
seems to befall me. At first her oontinual
re-appearances somewhat worried me. I
tried to communicate with her, bnt al¬
ways failed. Finally I grew to regard
her as my lnoky star. I have built np
an ideal in my mind concerning her.
Not for the worid would I speak to her,
lest that ideal should be destroyed.
Judge of my astonishment when I saw
my Qlucksengel on board the ship when
we were a few days out. When I open
at the Thalia, I know I shall see her
there. If on the night I am to play
Hamlet my eyes fall on her, I know I
shall carry all before me.” The good
angel was present when he opened, and
he did carry all before him.

Gloom Among the Dairymen.
The Orange County Farmer has
been collecting statistics regarding the
present condition and future outlook of
the milk-producing industry. • It pub¬
lishes a tabulated statement 4f the re¬
ports received from over sixty farmers
engaged in the milk business in Orange,
Sullivan, Delaware and Ulster Counties
of New York State, and Sussex in New
Jersey. The average profit for 1884 re
ported by these producers on the capital
invested is a little less than per cent,
but the farmer’s own labor is left out of
consideration. With a proper sum al¬
lowed for his services the editor of the
Farmer estimates that the average prof¬
it would have been reduced to not more
than one per cent. Opinion as to the
value of glucose feed and brewers’ grains
for cows varies, but the maj’oritv of the
farmers condemn their use and others
express a modified approval. One
frankly says they are a good thing when
quantity and not quality of milk is de¬
sired. The number of farmers using
these articles as compared with the
whole number is small. The outlook
for the present is considered discourag¬
ing. No one expects as good a year as
last and many think it will be decidedly
worse. Various suggestions looking to the
improvement of the present situation
are made, but the one which finds most
favor is that the production of milk
should be greatly reduced.
Expecting Good Business.
The hotel-keepers in Maine, a local
paper says, confidently expect that bus¬
iness during the coming summer will be
better than it has been for several years.
They give several reasons for their be¬
lie! In the first place, they say that
the cholera scare will drive larger
hordes than ever from the cities; then
they argue that as they have had sev¬
eral poor seasons in succession, a reac¬
tion is most probable, and this will be
one of the years when they strike a rich
vein; again, we have had cold summers
for several years, and the chances are
that the next summer will be red hoi
They figure that the probabilities are
decidedly in their favor.

than Mly felt his way np a lad
d d da8he d 0 ff an artiatie sign, half
the inhabitants of the place turned out
+o witness th > feat ;
Th(j soheme o{ ile faki whioh was
cn original one and oa!cn lated to catch
the multitude, all depended on the his
teionio abiut o{ the Hoosjer Poet He
had large frank gray eye3 and tho
Tision o{ an eagle . When the surface
wa3 selected ke waa brought out and
, cd to the footof the ladder A part
0 £ bia business was to go up a step,
care f u u y f feeling f his way, then turning,
8tare in ovaoal cy in an aimless, moony
sort of Btylei and bring to bear on the
orowdaface M1 0 f pain and pathos .
xhia rarely failed to draw expressions of
sympathy, and, what was more to the
point, additional advertising contracts.
Slowly climbing the ladder, he fingered
the surface, measuring carefully with
his hands the dimensions of the letters,
and then seizing the brush, the sign was
reeled off much more rapidly than the
average painter could do it.
Another catching bit of "business”
was to stumble on coming down, when
one of the party gave him a shoving be¬
low, with an imprecation and a brutal
order to be more careful,
"Shame, shame ! Some one ought to
take the poor man away from those ruf
fians,” were sample remarks from the
crowd on such occasions. One day
when he was up the ladder I caught his
eye. My suspicions had been aroused,
end he saw it in my face. Slowly and
deliberately, with owlish solemnity, he
winked that great gray eye of his iu a
way which spoke whole libraries.
After that I was taken in his confi¬
dence, and finding he was a gold mine
of talent induced him to leave painting
and go to work in my office, a task which
was not difficult, for he only regarded
the "Blind Painter” dodge as a boyish
lark, and was getting tired of tho fun.
That was the beginning of his news¬
paper career. He went to Indianapolis
and has been doing excellent work on
the press of that city ever since. I un¬
derstand his book is netting him quite
handsomely and is a success in every
way.
He Wants It. —An Arizona paper re¬
marks: "Our craven contemporary pre¬
tends that it doesn’t want any office.
That is too thin, as everybody knows
how it tried to get the post office and
failed. We don’t often boast, but we
believe that we could run the post office
in the way it should bs run, and what is
more, we believe we shall get it. Any -
how, we are not afraid to say that we
want it, and will do everything we can
to get it. Our contemporary is a
pretty small potato. Whoopee!”

I am very particular about my food. I

be pleased with my table if this is the
case, sir. My boarders all have dys¬
pepsia.”— Cleveland, I'd ice.
