In a stairway bit Woodward ave nue Monday sat a inau who looked the picture of sadness, and every now and then ho pulled out a red hankercluet with many holes and rents in it, nud wiped tears from his eyes; By and by a pedestrian halted and asked: Say, stranger, what ails you? Oh, I dun no. I guess 1 feel sad. You shouldn’t feel bad on new year's day. It's the day in which to brace up and swear oil. That's just the point, replied the man as lie brought out the handker chief. I havou,t anything to swear off from. Don't you drink? Not tt drop. Nor smoke, nor chow? Neither one; nor swear, gamble, bet, nor lie. Well, you must boa pretty good man. Oh! I am—l am! I'm too good. The rest of you can resolve to-duy not to rob or iteal again. You can swear t/ff ou whisky and tobac co and lay plans for economy, but I've got to plod right along in the old track. Can't you think of olio single point foLxolormation? Not a point—not a one. I've sat here (or r w hole hour trying to find one single weakness, but I can't do it. Stranger, it makes mo sad, and you must excuso these tears. When I realize that I *in so all-fired good I am half iucliuod lo comifiit sui cide, 111 tell you a point, old man. Will you? Thunks! thanks! M hat is i;? Why don’t you l’osolve lo get your ha';' cut, wash your face, clean out nails, and put on a clean shirt? Why don't I? I will? Thank Iloavun, there is a show lor nto af ter all! I'm not as good ns I thought I was’ Yes, sir, 111 do it. Shake with maj You have probably saved my life, and my gratitude is un bounded. And then ho cried some more, but they w< re tears of joy. Saved by Sally. From the Carson Appeal.] Not long since a young man in Carson got married and started for California with his young wife. As he boarded the train his father bade him good-by and gave him the pater nal blessing. My son, said the aged sire, shaking with emotion, etc., remember these words if you never see me agin. Nev er gojinto a place where you would not take your wife. The couple settled down in Maripo sa county, and las: week the old man w ent down to visit them. He pro posed a bear hunt, and they were for tunate enough to track a grizzly to his lair among some of the bowlders in tire chapparel. As the two approach ed, the bear roused up a:.d sent forth a growl of defiance which shook the trees. Go in there and kill 'im, said the old man excitedly. The son held, back, further acquain tance with the bear seeming in some respects undesirable. Count me out, he said. Have I crossed the seas and settled in America to raise a coward ? shout the father, brandishing a gun. I but recollect yoUf advice when I left Carson, was the reply. How can I forget your sage precepts. Didn’t you tell me never fo gc where I could not take my wife ? How would Sal look in there wiih that bear ? The old man clasped his son to his bosom, and as the bear issued forth, exclaimed : Speaking of Sally, let us hasten home; our prolonged absence might cause her needless alarm. In about fifteen minutes they had reached the ranche, the old man a lit tle ahead, and the distance was about four miles. Charley B Dowe need a corres pondent at Des Moines? No, Char ley, we do not. Des Moihcs is the only place where wfe do not need a correspondent. We joyfully wallow in corresdfence from' every other place on this broad con tinent, but We can not have a correspondent at Des Moines. An early flame of our lives in Des Moines. We are parted now forever. It was not that our love cool ed, or that she died yoting. No, Charles, the trouble we had with that love affair was not that she diedyoung, but that her father didn’t. The hull dog likewise, Was not at all tired. You see now why We have hallowed associations With Des" Moines which makes it painful to uS to read corres pondence from that place—Puck. Kate Baker, Savannah, says: Brown's Iron Bitters has kept her chil dren in robusr health.” Rat, Cat and Puppy Pie- China Letter in the Troy I'imen. In Canton we Visited a restau rant where cats, rata and dogs were served for food. Dog steak, fried rat or cat stew were to be had at any hour. It lias been often denied nlld mail}' affirm that it is only one of the old Peter Parley's storios that the Chinese eat those things. Bat it is true. We sawn whole puppy stewed in a largo kettle. Wo sow a table full of men satisfying their hunger with dog meat, and they at with a hearty relish. We saw cats and pups in cages for sale and rats huug up waiting for purchasers. The dishes looked savory and the price of a meal was dog cheap, but we did not indulge in any bow-wow soup or fe line steak or rodent pot-pie. Wc weren’t hungry just then. The Cel estials will tell you rat number one good eatee, and show you rats skin ned, rats salted, rats dried, rats hung up by the tail arid rats strung on strings. If you doubt the genuine ness of the article the proprietor will show you the meat with the hair and tail attached for identifyeation. Cat meat is said to be a fine tonic and rat is good for bald-head men. Puppies and ki’tens are generally pre ferred ; old dogs and tom cats are apt to be rather tough. Black cats are supposed to be more nutritious than white ones, hence the following ad vertisemens seen in a shop window : Black cats served hot at all hours ;also snakes, rats and dogs. A Cold Day for John Henry- John Henry had been boasting of what a mash he had undo on his girl. He said it would be a mighty cold day if lie got left. The girl heard of it, bill Jehu llenry didn't know it, ami went to see her as us ual. lie rang the bell and the ser vant appeared. Is Miss Mary at home? he said, with a until". Yes, ir, bid slut's engaged. How's that? said he, in aimiz— mont. Neither fellow In th parlor. V hut does it mean? Don't know, only she’ told me to tell yon it was a mighty cold (lay and you'd better button up your overcoat or you'd git froze goin' borne. The next day John Henry told thobovslhat Ilia thermometer had dropped clear off the nail at his girl's h 0 The Fanjjs of a Rattlesnake. A physician who canlured ft rat tlesnake proceeded to dissect the head for his amusement nnd infor mation. Taking one aido of its head, he extracted tire fang, when, lying cloße by this, ho found anoih er lung a little shorter than the first, ready to take its playo when the long one should be broken off or fall out. Next tp the second fang wfts a third, find next to ibis ft fourth, and after the fourth a fifth, each, as it was found, proving just a little shorter and a little smaller than tho ones found just before it. So that the serpent sas endowed with five fangs on one side of its mouth, each to come into use in regal The physician dissected only one part of the snake’s head, but ibis''proved to bis satis faction that the current belief that a rattlesnake has only one fang oa each side of the head is a very er roneous belief as applied to nil snakes of this species.
