A newly nn-ivod and s-ngnlarly
assorted couple at the Filth Ave
nue Hotel, consisting of a London
er and an oiit-nnd-out American
Western, stood watching (lie tnroug
of people coming and going at the
marble, counter the other evening,
and listening with surprise to the
endless number cl' ((nick questions
made to the hotel clerk about
trains, rooms and individuals, and
his instnulaiieou , replies, when the
Englishman broke out with:
Most extraordinary man; seems
to know everybody and everything
—wonder il there is any question
about a railway train or any person
that ho can't auswer.

I'll put him a question about a train

Well, hero goes, then, and Wes

counter.
Say! You appear to know every
thing ami everybody; v.lio is there

the train start?

Well, I reckon you are about

that washing is as laborious as driv

It, v- id suddenly occur to a great
many people that a young lady wl'o
stands behind a counter soiling
goods earns as much wages as the
young man by her side, who upends
three lilliis of his time twisting his
moustache, ami the other two lil'tlis
chattering with acquaintances who
happen in the store. It will then
develop that a lady teacher in tin;

Going Him One BeUer-
An ingenious tramp, thinking t,>
wring tears and money from the ston
iest hearts with anew scheme, gave il
an experiment trial in the North End.
lie has decided not to patent the in
vention. He told a Nortli kind lady
of liis unfortunate condition, and ask
ed if lie nfght eat some of the grass
in the yard. The lady, not less amus
ed then surprised said:
Certainly
lie vAmtout, and, getting down on
all fours, commenced eating the grass
after the neglected and never popu
lar .Nebuchadnezzar, and apparently
not enjoying the diet any more than
that ancient sinner of olden times.
Presently the tramp's anxious eye
caught sight of the servant girl beck
oning to him from the back yard He
thought a rich reward for his humility
was in store, and instantly tesponded.
Did you motion to me ; said he.
Yes.
What do you want ? He now wore
a look of most hopeful expectancy.
You may go into the La :k yard if
yon want to. The grass is taller
there.

One summer, in tho years agone
tvtiile a caiup meeting was iu prog
ress in Eaton county, there arrived
on the grounds a bully named .Mil
ler, who had made a vow to lick
Elder Johnson and break up the
whole business. The older heard
tho news with calm composure, and
aa soon as at'liberty hunted up a
worthy friend of lus own, and ask
ed:
Enoml Smith, didn’t you use to
light in your younger days?
Ah! Elder I have had many a
turn with the boys.
And what is tho effect, of a sud
den blow between the eyes.
It astonishes and humbles.
Is there any danger of killing a man
by such a b'ow ?
Never knew a case of it.
i lie elder went his way with a se
rious smile on his tnee. Miller had
his coat oil and was limiting for him,
■end they met face to luee as thev
turned a wagon. Miller started to
crack his heels together and crow,
bid lie novel' fiui.sln and. The older
took him ono square between tlio
looks without stopping his pace,
ami it took twelve rowdies, three
dippers of water and two quarts of
whiskey to revive the patient and
get him off tho grounds. One day
a year afterward, lie mot the elder
and seriously asked:

kicked by a horse, and others stick
to it that .1 was struck by lightning,

You see, ho explained, aa we sat
on tho tavern stops at Sharpsburg
and looked around, this town has
never r, covsred from the war.
TV'lnif, <!i'l you have hero before
tho war?
Everything, almost. It was the
liveliest little town yon evor saw.
Why, sir 1 sat on those very steps
before tho war and counted six
lights all going at onco. Then wo
had a cooper-shop, three saloons, a
tannery and four shoe shops.
All are gone now, I observe.
Every one of 'em, and, what's
wusß, you can't start a light hero to
save your life. If you should jump
out thero and crow and crack your
ho;els and offer to tight tho best
