Our neighbor*—not very numerous— were chiefly clergy. One of them, unu sually learned, wus much given to Greek quotations. I was learning Greek -at that time—a language which I waa glad was dead and wished was buried—and those sonorous lines of his, to which the ladies listened with reverent anre, Irritated me extremely. One of them asked mi' once, in a hushed Whisper, the translation of one of these quota, tlone. "You are at school,’' she said, "and ought to know." I gave her to understand. ■ with an opportune bluah, that It waa scarcely meet for a lady's ear." “Good heavens!" she cried, “yon don’t mean to say—" "Pray don't quote me In the matter,' I said pleadingly, "but I really—no, I really couln'i tell you," which wus quite true, fihe went away and told nil her lady friend* that Mr. C. in dulged In quotations which were, such sa rnuM not be translated to modewt ears.

AS MANY LIVES AS A CAT. A Tennessee Youth Whoso Career Has Been studded with Mishap*. There Is now living lu Cleveland, says the vmoluuatl' Enquirer, a youth whose amhiy, figuratively apeu-kiug, to light ou ins feet 1* equal to uUdt of any eg! that ever lived. Tina youth may justly be called the most rortu- uate youth belonging to the stale of Tennessee. H1s Hairbreadth escapes are legion. Life for him has been one long accident . when It hasn't been oue long escape. Every season brings some hew and startling peril, out of which ho somolioiv emerges In some new and maridng manner. As the son at Mr. uud Airs. Will Traynor, he lias high social connections, and was really born with a silver spoon in bis mouth, which he has managed 'to keep there during Ihe seventeen years of his ex istence without once letting It fall out. But he will get into trouble. Long be fore lie mis old enough Uo toddle ho made It a point to tali out of bed every night, and when he wa* able to walk developed n dangerous fondness for the Ore. He kept up u tendency to gravitate when a lithe older, by fulling out of some tree at least once every week, nnd he Is said no have gone through this performance so often that It ttnatly became a pleasing diversion which ills friends would-gather to see and which he performed with admira ble grace nud astonishing jnu lability from danger. But the great fall of his life was oxide in Nashville. He was visiting his aunt, Mrs. -Morris, a wealthy lady who had apartments at the Maxwell at -that time. Otto day while young Tmytior, or French, as he is familiarly called; was on the third floor of tho hotel, some one called him from tho bottom, nud, not oaring to walk, lie concluded to slide. Everybody gave him credt for ills sensible Intention to stop at the second floor for a change of banbrters, but the rapidity with which he wns moving at f^atvoM made such a. change quite impossible, nnd he went on without stopping. mMt- azlng by some acrobatic mld-lllr feat fa turn over so that ho could alight gracefully on til* head, which he did, nnd wns picked up for dead, but pulled through. Since then accidents lnvo followed each other tvlrh more or lees peril to himself. Once he was chased by a black snake, and the picture of itirtt snake standing on the tip of hb> tall in close pursu t Is *111 vivid In his memory. And twice lie (leaped death from drowning. But nil these denis are put In the abide by hW latest mlslinp. While riding a mile the other day Ithc nnlmal threw him, and, having got him down, kicked him Into Hie comer ot 0 fence, where n, nest of hornet* wa* uirfortuoaicly sit uated. The maddened Insects came out to investigate, nnd very nearly what tho mute had loft or 'ho young man. He l» now lying In bed at Ills home with relatives In Cleveland, swollen beyond recognition nnd minus four teeth, which the mule oxltracted. FOUND IN A TREE TOP. The Skelton of n Man Tightly Wedged Eighty Feet From the Ground. A strange story waa recently related to * -writer for the Orrvttle, Cal., Mer cury by a citizen whose home Is to Ihe mountains near Ntmshew. “About • month ago I had occasion to build a ne*w barn on my little place near Nlm- shew, and to save expense on Its con- Htructlbn I concluded to split out my self oil the shakes I would need. I had known of a splendid sugar pine tree ever since I had lived In that lo cality, tbst stood on a hillside about two miles from my home. It was a splendid specimen, fully twelve feet In diameter. Accompanied by my eldest wxn, I -went one morning about n month ago. end In the courec of a few hours felled the forent giant. Then we pro ceeded to split out from the trunk of the tree the shakes that we needed. One day my son raw a squirrel playvng In the boughs, and, picking up his gun. ttred. He went to pick up the gain* which had fallen at the report. I paid no attention to him until t heard an ex clamation <5f horror and saw him stand ing on the trunk gating intently into the tree lop. Fastened securely In the second limb fbrk of the tree, eighty feet from the ground, wa* n humm nkeleton. It waa wedged In so securely that even the fall of the free had failed to dislodge It. and It was intact. A few remnant* of rotten clothing still hung to IL and an hid soleless .dio* half supported the flesbltis leg In the crotch of the tree. One bony arm was twined tightly about s limb, and <he skull, still held by the ligaments, remed on the breuat. We due • shallow grave and burled the bones on the hillside. The skeleton wns tbit of a white man of average site, and from the condition of the teeth and skull, must hav been pa-t middle axe. From the bleached condi tion It must have been in the tree top at least twenty years. Now, the ques tion arises, and It Is a question that make* the whole story seem Improb able. Is bow did the min ever get into the tree top? We made e ireful meas urements. and K was a tittle over eighty feet from where It rested to the ground and in that apace there was lot a limb Ur even a knot where s man might cling in climbing the tree.” THE ANTI-ANARCHIST LAW.
