MARC ANTONY'S ORATION.

Friends, RnmsnR, countrymen! Lend
your can;
I will return them next Naturday. I conic
To bury Ciewnr. because tlx* times arc hard

• The evil that men do live* after them,
In the *hnpc of progeny, who reap the
Benefit of their life Insurance.
Mo let it he with the deceased.
Brutus hath told you t hat Ctesar wa* ambi
tious—
What doe* Brutus know about it?
It Is none of his funeral. Would it were.
Here, under leave of you, I come to
Make a speech at Ciesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me.
He loaned me five dollars once when I was in
a pinch, .
And signed my petition lor a postoffice.
But Brutus says he was ambitious—
Brutus should wipe off liis chin.
Cassar has brought many captives home »o
R«me, ,, , ,
Who broke rock on*the streets until their ran
soms
Did the general coffers till.
When the poor hath cried, Cicsar wept,
Because it didn’t cost anything, and
Made him solid with the masses C heers.]
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet, Brutus says he was ambitious!
Brutus is a liar, and I can prove it.
You all did see that on Lupercal
I thrice presented him with a kingly crown,
Which in- did thrice refuse, because it did not
fit him quite.
Was that ambition? Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious!
Brut us is not only the biggest liar in the coun-
try f
But a horse-thief, and a bald-headed snipe of
the valley. [Applause.|
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
[Laughter.]
You all know tills ulster.
I remember the first time everCtesar put it on
It was on a summer’s evening in liis tent,
With tiie thermometer registering »0 degrees
in the shade;
But it was an ulster to be proud of,
And cost $7 at Marcauis Swartzinever s,
Corner of Broad and Ferry etreetF, sign of the
red flag.
Old Kwartz wanted $40 for it.
But finally came down to $7, because it was
Cicsar!
Was this ambition ? If Brutus says it was
He is even a greater liar than Mrs. I ilton.
I,ook ! in this place ran Cassius’ dagger thro’ —
Through tills the son of a gun of a Brutus
slabbed ;
And when lie pulled the steel away,
Marc Antony, how the blood ot Cicsar follow
ed It !
[Cheers and cries of ‘Give us something
on the Silver Bill.’ ‘Hit him again,’ etc.]
I come not, friends, to steal away your hearts.
1 am no thief, as Brutus is—
Brutus has a monopoly in all that business,
Audit he had his just deserts he would be
In the penitentiary,and don’t you forget it.
Kind friends, sweet friends, I do not wish to
stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny,
And as It, looks like rain,
The pall-bearers will please put the coffin in
the hoarse,
And we will proceed to bury Cicsar,
Not to praise him.
The rainy weather hs« kept the trap in
active operation. And as those who
go in and are bitten remain to see who
are the next unfortunate, “setting ’em
up for the crowd” becomes a very se
rious business. Occasionally the man
pleads poverty, but they make him
leave his watch or diamond ring while
he goes out for the money to redem it.
There is no backing down. The man
had rather treat than be thought a
thief in earnest, and this is the only
loop-hole he has for escape.
An Umbrella Protector.
Alta Californian.
The barkeeper called his attention to
a printed card, which hung several
feet above the rack on the wall. It
read as follows:
“Anyone attempting to steal the um
brella is expected to set ’em up !”
The card hung so high on the wall
that a casual observer would fail to no
tice it.
The barkeeper, with an eye to busi
ness, had all these preliminaries fully
arranged for the first rainy day of the
season. It was early in the morning
that his initial victim appeared. The
humid clouds were distilling a drench
ing shower as an able practitioner of
the law appeared for his morning cock
tail. He drank the liquid contradiction
with infinite relish, and then, button
ing °u hi* coat, moved toward the
door. The umbrella caught his eve.
It was raining cats and dogs. Ihe
downpour was prodigious. He cast a
furtive but hurried glance over his shoul
der at the barkeeper. That ingenious
worthy whs giving his whole attention
to his glasses. Then the lawyer’s hand
Went swiftly to the alluring umbrella.
He touched the handle—the alarm
i-ang out clear and distinct—the bar
keeper turned his luminous eyes on
the culprit.
“Old man,” he observed, with gentle
tenderness, “just read that card abo\e
your head.”
* The lawyer’s glance took in the
situation, and he turned to the coun
ter.
“What shall it be?” he inquired,
with all a lawyer’s effrontery.
“Well,” replied the barkeeper, “as
you and I are the only persons present,
I reckon you will have to stand a small
bottle.”
“Set it up.”
The wine was drank, and then the
disciple of Blfickstone, true to liis call
ing, announced his intention of remain
ing a few minutes to see what the next
customer would do.
Even as he spoke, a bustling, active
broker put in his appearance.
“Whiskey straight, please! It’s an
awful wet morning.”
And scarcely waiting for his change,
he was hurrying out, when suddenly
his feet seemed glued to the lloor. A
swift glance was cast back at the dis
penser of drinks, and then his nervous
fingers closed firmly on the handle of
bell
They Never Stop.
Tid-Blts.
It is this kind of a wife that makes
men old and gray before their time.
“William,” she says, after William is
curled snugly up under the blankets
for tin* night, “did you lock the front
door?”
“Yes,” says William, briefly.
“You’re sure you did?”
“Yes, sure.”
“And you slipped the bolt, too?”
“Yes.”
“You know you forgot it once, and it
gave me such a turn when I found it
out in the morning, I didn’t get over it
for a week. We haven’t much any-
body’d want to steal, I know, but I
don’t want the little we have taken, for
I—”
“I tell you I attended to the doors.”
“Well, I hope so, for goodness’ sake.
You attended to the basement door?”
“Yes, I tell you.”
“Because if you hadn’t you or I, one
or the other, would have to get up and
attend to it now. I read to-day of—”
t‘I don’t care what you read.”
“It is said that a man down on B
street forgot to—”
“I don’t care if he did.”
“And in the night a burglar walked
right in an—”
“I don’t believe it.”
“I’ve a notion to get up and see if
you have locked that door. You’re
sure?”
“How many times have I got to tell
you that I did lock it?”
“Well, you thought you’d locked it
that time when you left it unlocked.”
“Will you 1>« quiet?”
“I don’t care, William, you know
yourself how careless you are, and—”
“See here, Mary Jane, this has got to
end right here.”
But it doesn’t end there; and it doesn’t

A Lesson.
New York Letter.
Surprise is expressed that Gen. Han
cock did not leave a larger estate be
hind him, but he was generous to a fault,
and he had many calls upon his chari
ty. It was the heavy cross of his life
that his twin brother, for thirty yearsa
resident of a distant Western city, had
disappointed his expectations, lost his
ambition and sunk into a living death.
His brother was a lawyer, one of the
most brilliant in the Northwest, clear
ing from $15,000 to $20,000 a year by his
practice, when he fed a victim to hi*
love for good company and drink. He
went down from liis high position like a
rocket, and for the last fifteen years had
been entirely supported by his brother,
the General. There is a touching little
hit of romance connected with this sad
, story. The lawyer was in his prime, a
magnificent looking man, and became
■ engaged to the beautiful daughter of a
lady in whose house he boarded. The
! engagement began twenty-two years
j ago. But the lady saw her danger
i ahead, and she refused to marry her ar
dent and handsome wooer until he
should forswear the winecup and show
himself a thoroughly reformed man.
He still lives in the same house, and the
lady is there too, and still unwedded.
She is true to her love, but is equally
true to her promise, and while she ten
derly cares for the man she loves and
mourns, she knows that her life is
wrecked, and that there is no hope now
this side of the grave. The world is
full of such unnoticed heroines.

A Negro Emigration Movement.
Sew Orleans Times-Democrat.
A large negro immigration is again
pouring into the Yazoo delta. AVe
called attention to it last year, when it
reached the proportions of an exodus.
The failure of the cotton crop in the
hill country started a movement of the
negroes from that section into the low
lands of the delta, generally known as
“the swamp,” which increased from
day to day, after the cotton had been
picked, until it reached great propor
tions and produced unfortunate eco
nomical results, leaving the hill coun
try without labor and threatening, in
consequence, disasters to the farmers
and planters of that section.
A great deal of excitement was
aroused by this; public meetings were
called to denounce the labor agents
who seduced the negroes from the
farms, and some threats \v@te Indulged
in against them, Tho exodus contin
ued for three or four months after the
harvesting of the cotton crop, and
sothe 25,OIK) or more negroes were mov
ed from central Mississippi to V ashing-
tonand other alluvial counties. The
population of Yazoo delta showed an
even greater proportion of blacks to
whites, and began to be regarded as a
sort of paradise to the negroes, of the
Southwest.
There can be little doubt that most
of these emigrants did well in their
new homes. The delta is admirably
suited to them. The climate is what
they like, the land is fertile and cheap,
and the staple crop, cotton, is one that
the negro seems best suited to culti
vate. The Mississippi Valley road, un
like most of the Southern railroads, has
bid for this immigration, sold its lands
to the darkies on favorable terms, and
has, as a consequence, assisted in build
ing up a great negro district in West
ern Mississippi.

A Man With a Good Conscience
New York .Sun.
At one of his Northfield meetings on
Monday, Mr. Moody, who was preach
ing about “Prayer,” said: “Man may
pray like a saint, but if he has a dollar
in his pocket not acquired honestly, his
prayer is a sham, and he must make
restitution if he expects ever to have
God hear his praver.” Thereupon a
merchant from Dallas, Texas, rose in
the audience and told a story that em
phasized this point. He had, he said,
got dishonestly from men in his busi
ness some $5,500, and had built a
house with the money. Then Mr.
Moody happened along and preached
on this subject of restitution and the
merchant was present. “I heard you,"
he said, pointing to Mr. Moody, “and
I went out into the street conscience
stricken. I went straight home and
told my wife that we must sell that
house and restore the money. And
we did. We held an auction, and our
carpets, our laces, our furniture, all left
us, and with the proceeds w-e made
restitution.” The man then told how-
lie and his wife started again in life
with nothing, and how they had pros
pered. His credit, his prosperity had
never been so good.
