HOP-LOO.
[From the Clipper.)
Hop-Loo wee e grey berberian,
luduetrious, eedete.
Who veiled from the Flowery Kingdom
And entered the Holden date.
In the city of Sen Frencleco,
Where counties* Ooleetiale lurk.
He opened e modest laundry,
And quietly went to work.
In rein did he furl hie pigtail,
Iu vein were hie word* but few—
The populace didn't like him.
And vowed he wouldu't do.
He had no elvillxatton,
He didn't rnn 'round o’ nights
With a knife or pistol, howling
For somebody aloe's lights.
HU method of doing businea
Censed nutnberleee load regrets,
For be set them the bed event pie
Oi paying hia honest debts.
Thne unmerons point* of breeding
Where lacking; ao. in a word,
Aa be had no civilisation,
His conduct was moat ebeurd.
Then various execrations
Pursued him along the street,
TIU at Nat Ue popular feeling
Rose up to a fever heat.
And thronge of the outraged people,
With liioeoue boots and groans.
Surrounded hia laundry windows,
And battered them in with stones.
Tbey severed hie sacred pigtail.
They covered hie shirts with mud
And argued the merry notion
Ol drawing hit heathen blood.
Unluckily, he possessing
But a limited aanae of ion.
Delivered to them the contents
Of s doable barrelled gun.
And now in dreery prison,
Bemoaning his wretched lot.
He’s serving a lengthy sentence
For firing that wicked shot.
The moral ef this narration
la one to be read with ease—
That tt'e dangerous work for heathens
To try any trlcka like ibese.

AN HOUR AT THE CENTRAI, STATION
COURT.
At a late hour Friday evening John
Johnson stood under an awning on Ran
dolph street, waiting for the rain to sluck
up. Along came a stranger, who sought
the same shelter, and remarked:
“This rain will do the grass good. ”
“Yes ; aud it will also help wheat,” re
plied Johnson.
"Nice for flower-beds,” continued the
man.
“And splendid for grape-vines,” said
Johnson.
"How mysterious are thy works, O,
Nature 1” sighed the stranger, after a
along pause.
"Aud what poor worms of the dust we
folks are,” sighed Johnson, and that was
the last he kuew until he found himself
at the station. He said he thought he
had been struck by lightning.
“There was neither thunder nor light
ning all night!” indignantly exclaimed
the court. "You weie drunk, sir, aud
the officer found you dripping wet and
without sense enough to tell the Ameri
can flag from a clothes-pin. Don’t try to
to come any thunder and lightning game
on me 1”
“Do you suppose you hear all the thun
der there is around?” softly asked the
prisoner.
"Yes, sir, and about everything else;
and I don't want any impudence, either.
You are sent up for thirty days.”
“ril take Paris green aud die on the
way up there!” said the man.
“Very well, sir. The Black Maria
passes a graveyard, aud it will be no
trouble to toss you over the fence. Don’t
take too much of the poison if you want
a good effect.”—jFVee Press.
A Frenchman brought to a well
known Parisian jeweller, a diamond
necklace which was recognized as
having been one of his wife’s wed
ding presents. The Frenchman bad
with him its counterpart in paste,
and he proposed to sell the genui ue
necklace to the jeweller for 50,000
francs, and let his wife think she
still bad the real diamonds. The
jeweller asked for a few hours’ time.
He toen called on his wife’s grand
mother, who gave him the 60,000 for
the husband. The money and the
necklace were handed to the hus
band, who believed he was receiving
the paste diamonds. “That is well.
Said the grandmother; “her husband
will think the diamonds are false,
and will never try to sell them
again.” A few months passed, and
the wife, embarrassed by a huge
dressmaker’s bill, brought the neck
lace to the same jeweller to sell. She
was, of course. Ignorant of her hus
band’s previous action. “How will
you explain to your husband the
disappearance of your diamonds?”
she was asked. “By substituting an
imitation necklace,” she answered.
“I wilt arrange this for you,” said the
jeweller, who hastened again to the
grandmother, explained the situa
tion, and received 50,000 francs for
the granddaughter. He handed the
money over and the real diamonds
back. As it now stands, neither hus
band nor wife thinks the diamonds
are real, and there will probably be
no farther efforts to sell them.
Winn Dan Arnony.
Brother Gardner was seeking a job
around the Central Market yesterday
when he come across a young colored
friend who was rigged out in anew Biiit
of clothes and a lot of flash jewelry. After
a lengthy survey of the outfit the old
man asked :
‘My friend, what is your income at the
present time?’
“Bout six dollars a week,’ was the an
swer.
‘An’ you is puttin’ all dat glory on a
dollar a day 1 Shoo! but I didn’t spose
dere was such a fool-nigger in Detroit!
Dafs a wuss case dan arsony.’
‘Hasn’t Ide right to w’ar good clothes
if I earned dem?’ protested the other.
‘No, Bah, you hasn’t. De poper way
for you to do is to frow all dat brass jew
ry away, put on common clothes, an' go
round lookin’ like a dollar a day was jtst
’bout keepin your head above water. Ize
got a house an’ lot, money in de bank,
cane-seat chairs in de parlor, an’ a picture
of Gineral Grant all framed up in gilt,
does Igo rouud loodin’ like I owned de
City Hall? Does I fling on style till ye
can’t rest? Does I try to make out dat I
am John Jacob Astor? Boy, you want to
quit that business. Frow away dat gor
geous glory; put some mud on your
boots an’ come along with me an’ hold de
pail, while I whitewash a fence.’
