A Useful Animal.
New York Graphic.
“I read in a paper to-day there was a
new animal discovered that has 11,000
eyes.” said Jones to a friend.
“Well,” returned the other,“what of it?'
“What a useful brute it would be to hunt
up a candidate's record."
"I don’t think its eyes would be very val

“Why not?"
"Hou|htto have 11,000 hands.”
"Yes, to throw mud."

“Whatis tbewooden box there for, sir?”
asked the subscriber of the president of
tho just organized bank. *
“That? Oh, that's for the securities
and money, you know. We must have
someplace to keep them," replied the
practical president.
“Why certainly I know that,” replied
the astonished stockholder; “bat ain't you
going to have a safe?"
“No, there is no use in going into fool

“What no safe!"
“Why, no. When the cashiers go to
Canada they always take the combination

Even Betting on the Ohio Result.
Neither party has a satisfactory poll of
the State, but the Republicans profess to
be greatly encouraged by their returns.
They claim that they will getont their full
reserve vote. The Democrats
expect, tbrongh Carl Schnrz and n
large number of other German speakers,
to get the Germans in line before election
and by renewed promises to enlist the
llqnor dealers, who have so far been indif
ferent. The strike in the Hocking Valley
will not affect the result materially,
although there is a strong move
ment among the miners to sup
port Butler and West in
the November election. The indications
at present arc that Robinson will hare a
majority of 8.000 to 10,000 over Newman,
but there is no great boom either way.
That the contest will be close is indicated
by the fact that bets are freely taken both
ways and odds are not yet proposed.
There is also a disposition to bet on ma
jorities.

lazily hanging over the different games,

up to the taro game, where fifty-ceut while
chips were the order, he tossed down a

“Give me a thousand," be said.
The dealer bowed to the naw-eomcr and
said:
"All right, sir.”
The stranger coolly divided his pile of
chips into two piles and then placed them
carelessly on the layout. In a second both
stacks were gathered in.

Manufactures vs. Shipping.
Oath.
The manufactures of New York city
amount to $200,000,000 capital, equal to
the cost ofsfour hundred of tho greatest
iron ships in the world half a million dol
lars apiece, far greater than the foreign
shipping of New York. There are not one
hundred ships of this quality running on
the North Atlantic. If we had the abipe,
which barely pay 3 per cent, a year, their
crewa would be absentees, but by the man
ufactures we have these crews with us,
and they numbered in 1880 227,3*2 work
ingmen, and in Brooklyn 47,587. Add 30,-
000 for the adjacent cities like Newark and
Paterson, which are more strictly manu
facturing places than New York or Brook
lyn, and the aggregate is not less than
i,000 operatives. Now, in the entire
pping of England, according to a late
Macmillan's Year Book, there are not
200.000 men. The manufactures of the
metropolitan district here dwarf all the
commerce of England.
Mr. Dana's Fancy for Chickens.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Charles A. Dana ia quite fond of writing
people down as fools who are only
wbimisral. If all reports are true, be is a
most decided crank. His weakness is for
chickens and pine shrubbery. In the
grounds surrounding his country residence
are specimena of all Kinds of pine and firs
known in the world. He loves his pines
and will pay almost any price for a new
one, but it is on chickens that he dotes.
His collection of game fowls is said to be
the finest in the country. Like Bonner,
he does not keep his pets for their ability
to make money, bat simply because he
dotes on them. The only benefit he gets
from them is what ia derived from the
fresh eggs they yield and the satisfact on
he has in knowing the age of the spring
chicken that is set before him on toast for
breakfast. He has ransacked the world for
specimens of the various species, and when
once in his possession they are treated as
well as white elephants are in Siam.
An Interesting Novelty.

What we have to saw is that if Senator

chosen President of the United States

the electoral votes, we should

Paris, September 1.—Marshal Man-
teoffrl, the 1 unitholder of Alaace- Lorraine,
basjnst issued . rescript dealing with
young men re-riding in the Keichsland who
an Bt for military sorr-ca, bat claim ax-
• mplfonon the claim of foreign national
lty. The cate* dealt with are those of
(1) sons of Frenchmen hy origin and ol
Frenchmen by option; (2)yoong men who
were recognized aa foreigners by the option
committee, and 13) yonng men who went
abroad with emigration certificates, and
who either hare returned, or may yet re
turn to Alsace Lorraine.
As regards the first and second daises,
when tho yonng men in question have
reached thitir seventeenth year their fallt-
ers will be called upon to naturalize them
selves or their eons aa Germans. Inca-
of a refusal the aoua will be expelled. If
the authorities should not consider father
or ton a proper person to be naturalized
the son will nevertheless be expelled
After expulsion young men will only be
permitted to visit their relations for three
weeks in the year. The same rales are to
apply to unmarried men recognized as for
eigners by the option committee so eoon
aa they marry and have sons,
Aa re garels the third class, who belong to
the richer famUlea, anil have been educated
abroad, they are summoned to prove with
in a month that they have received a now
nationality or at once to serve their time
in the army. If they prove that they have
acquired a new nationality they will be
expelled on the lame conditions as the
other young men above mentioned.
This measure has been taken, the re
script states, in view of the fact tiiat 11,000
Itersons, forming 4 500 families, are re
siling in the ReichManil as foreigners.
These, says Marshal Manleuffel, tuinht in

THE OLD ROMAN,
His Red Bandanna is Seen in Cincinnati
Again,
Cincinnati Ttmes-Star.
Alien G. Thurman spent last night and
part of to day in Cincinnati. He came
q uietly and slept soundly In room 126 of
the Grand. The Tinet-Slar found him
this morning aa he was smoking a cigar
after breakfast. Tho old Roman has not
changed much sines the Chicago conven
tion. He looked quit* gay as be greeted
the Times-Star, and then wiped his fine
old features with the historical 1 red ban
danna.” He was dressed in plain black,
wore a heavy silk hat, and was a conspic
uous figure in the hotel lobby.
“I am feeling quite well, bat I am both
ered yet with tne rheumatism," said the
old loan, ar he led the way slowly to
chair with the help of a cane. "By t
way. where ia Pendleton?”
"He is in bed eick,” said the reporter.
'Sick I That’s too bad. Now I promis
ed to be at the Hamit'on meeting to-day
not to make much of a speech, for I hoped
that I't ndli-ti-n, Ix-inu t mn-T. cmilil do
that. Hendricks will be there, and J un
derstand that Huadly and Payne are hilled
to appear. Still they have a rascally hab
it nowadays of advertising n.en who can
not be present”
"If Payne is there it will be his first ap
pearance in this campaign?” suggested
the reporter.
“I have not heard him as yet,” said
Thurman, significantly. >
The old man seemed sorry that Payne
and Hoadly. his two worst political ene
mies, should be with him alooo at a meet
ing and Pendleton away.
"Bnt, Senator, what of Ohio this
fail?”
“I have great hopes of carrying Ohio in
October.” knottier wipe with the red
bandanna.
“Bat are the fractional troubles among
the Democrats healed op?”
“I don't really think that there Is any
dissatisfaction or any factions now."
"But there was some disappointment
after the Chicago convention because you
•-vt-rc nut ii-Hi.ii.-t'etl."
At this the old Roman looked almost
mod and wiped hi* face once more with
the bandanna.
• Oh, I don’t know anything about that.
Bat let me interview you. (That are the
Democrats doing here?”
After tha reporter's version of- the situa
tion, ibis came from the Senator:
“We have heard in Columbus that the
Democrats down here are doing nothing
and it has worried os a great deal. Who
is this Israelite running for Congress?
Kramer? I suppose the Hebrews will
dly support I
Republicans.
How are the Ger
mans?”
The remark passed that In Cincinnati
they were quite apathe io, and that many
would not vote either way.*
“Well, then they stand in their own
light. In onrpartof the State the Ger
mans, Lutherans and Catholics, are all
Democrats and bars always been.”
“Is there anything in the reported Irish
bolt to Blaine?” ,
“I don’t know that there is near so
mnch as reported by the newspapers.
There Is not in itolumbus.”
"Is there mnoh enthusiasm there?”
"Very much. It ia all right through
that section. If the Democray down here
were only as busy it would be better for
us. The trouble is that too much atten
tion here is paid to local fights. So I hear
that John McLean is to help elect a Re-
mblican sheriff. The - Democrats bad
etter try to elect onr entire State ticket
and onr Congressmen. Yea, elect a Dem
ocratic sheriff, too. The 'east interest
seems to be on the State ticket We want
to carry the State in October. Neither
party is paying mnch attention to this
part of tne campaign?"
“Blaine will make the campaign live
ly next week,” suggested the reporter.
“Ye*, no doubt be wiU draw a big
crowd. He is the ngurehead of the par
ty, and is a brilliant min. Tbe Demo
crats will have a big turnout at Columbus
September 23. about the same time Blaine
Is here. If nothing happens it will be the
greatest meeting ever held In Ohio?'
■’WiU Cleveland be there?”
No, I think not. I don't think Cleve
land wUl come to Ohio at all. I don’t
think he needs to come."
enough. Nobody objected to
school in tbe little mining town. People
who think that a mining town Is the ante
room of perdition are mistaken. The
miner may be a nomad, but be is not nec

George W. Peacbbiow did not meet with
any opposition in his Sabbath-school

in anger. The Sabbath, which had been

opened brightand beantfnl. A little band
of children and yonng people stand ont-

He met them with a proud smile. He

NO CHILDREN WANTED.
One of the Tribulations That Come of
Having Offspring,
pan Francisco Examiner.
Yesterday a young married couple whose
union bad been blessed with three hand
some children—ail boys—and who are re
cently from the East, were In search of a
house for rent. They had carefully pre
pared a list of those advertised, and start
ed systematically to bunt them up. These
houses were variously described per ad
vertisements, and comprised all sorts and
siaes, and were of various prices. Leav
ing the little ones at the hotel where th« y
were stopping, the tour of inspection was
commenced. Tbe first place visited was
a comfortable fiat, ready furnished, and
consisting of six rooms, with gas, bath
and all alleged modern improvements,
The elegant landlady greeted th”m with a
smile, and assumed a pleasant, deferential
attitude, while the young husbaud, speak
ing np, said:
“I see you advertise a fiat to let, mad-
“Yes, air; walk In. Will you see it?"
The fiat was all that could he desired,
and suited In every particular. It was
taken. And just ss the two were retiring
tbe landlady gave a little start, and ex
claimed :
“Oh. I forgot to ask yout Have yon any
ch idreo?”
“Yes,, three,” responded the twain, in
unison.
“Then I most beg leeve to withdraw
from the bargain. I cannot take children
under any consideration.”
“All fight, madam,” said the good-na
tured husband. “Suit yourself. We'll
look further."
The next place was a cottage, with a
neat little flower garden in from. It wa3
tbe property of a thrifty Irishman.
“Yis, I'll rint it to ye for ftO a month,
providin' ye have no children."
The young husband looked languidly at
his pretty spouse, and observed: A We
must continue our search.”
The next place visited was a large lodg
ing house. Here the landlord showed
them apartments suitable for housekeep
ing.
“Well, Mary, dear, I suppose we’ll have
to take these?’
“Toe apartments are sunny,
nlently located, and, I think, all that can
be wished for?' interjected the business
like landlord. “Of coorae, you have no
children."
“Alas!” ivplied the husband, "unfortu
nately, it appears we have three.”
“Ah! that’s a great difference; we
couldn’t think of taking children.*'
Nine other places were called at with the
same result No children were wanted.
The last was a very gem of a cottage.
This aurely must be taken. “We’ll take
C onr bouse," remarked the husbaud to
)• lady who showed them the domicile.
“Here’s a month’s rent in sdvance," and
they were retiring in triumph, when the
woman call out: “Bv tbe way, sir, I sup
pose you ha76 no children ?”
“Great Jehosephatl” yelled the despair
ing husband; “yes, we have three boys;
but we'r*» going to kill 'em to-night"
’On, John!” cried his wife, in evident
alarm, “kill our boys?"
•'Certain!v. What can we do with
them? You see it is an unwritten law
that children shall not exist in this city,"
vociferated the father.
* But. John, majbe Nathaniel Hunter
will adopt them.* P*ease do something
reasonable with them!"
“No; we will put them In the Industrial
School or an orphan asylum. WUl that

interesting little girl, eigh .
he lays, la the last oi a race having the
animal characteristics of a rhimrinill
monkey and tbe intellect of a human be
ing. Tbe little girl was exhibiied yester
day before a number of aciantific gentlemen
at Central Park. She was dressed In a
pretty terra cotta dress, very abort in tho
skirts so as to reveal tbe perfect symmetry
of her limbs. A gold rope girdled tbe
ilre«s. The girl is called Krao, and speaks
both German and English. Her fare Is
round and full and covered with thick
hair. The similarity to a monkey is seen
in the cheek poaches, in which she stores
her food, and in the absence of b me in her
very flat nose, in ber ears and in her pro
jecting law. Over her forehead her hair ia
very thick and lungs downhar hack in jet
black ringlets. The hair on her arms
grows upward, and on her back starts from
her aides and grosra towards her spinal
column.
The moat striking coincidences are In
her vertebra, in which there aro thirteen
ribs, and in ber fingers, which twist and
tarn in any direction. Her feet are as ser
viceable as ber bands.
Mr. -Shelby went two years ago to tbe
oountre of Laos, in northern Slam, where
be bad beard there was a strange race of
men. With the assistance of the King ho
and bia men aurronnded a village pit cited
in the trees, and with the help of soldiery
captured the child Krao and its father anti
mother. The father died of cholera on the
voyage to England, end the mother was
kept by the King. When Mr. Shelby took
Krao she bad the instincts of an animal
and a man. Mr. Shelbv began tosdneat*
her. For a long time Krao manifested a
disposition to throw cups at her governess
in fleu of cocoanuts and to coil her bands
