Little Kook
- The other day a ehow came to Lit'
tie Rook and waa shamefully imposed
upon by Uncle leom. While it end •
ing near the tent he nw n crowd of
low-epiriied boya grieving on ac
count ot financial depression.
‘Does ye youngsters wanter go
der allow 7’ he asked.
The boya responded in noisy chos
rue. 'Well, come on den. I uater
to be a chile myself, an’ unlike the
mos’ of men, I ain’t forgot it. Count
these boys,’he added, addressing the
doorkeeper. Thu man began coiiiHi
ing, and by the time tho hoys bad
passed in Isom was talking around
talking to acquaintances Irani the
plantations. ,
‘Here,’ said the showman, 'give me
twenty tickets.’
‘What for? Does you think me
lottery agent ?’
'You passed in twenty boys, and
want the tickets or the money ?'
‘I donn owe yer no tickets, and I
doan owe yer no money, I didn’t
tell yer to pass de hoys in. I said
count ’em. I’se alwas heard that
showmen is good on rithmatio, and (
wanted to satisfy myself. Yer say
dat dar was twenty hoys. I doan
’spute yer word, oase I ain’t no math,
smatician. Sposen I take a lot ob

The xhowman, remembering that
he bad left the entrance unguarded,
turned, and leom walked away,
The native Journals in India are
beginning to republish Laud League
speeches, and in several of them in
the Alahratta district a full transit
tion of the no sent manifesto is given.
Extracts from Mr. Parnell’s addresses
are quoted approvingly, and there is
a prospect of n Laud League being
started in Hiudoston. With the
present religous and fanatical orgnni*
zition to form a nucleus, suuh a body
would be a fotmidable engine for
the Briiish Goverment to cope with.
Suddeu wealth has had a bad ef*
feet on a Boston stock speculator.
Formerly he was wclUbcbavcd. Now
he keeps his house lighted from attic
to cellar all slight long, and puttee
hours in smashing costly china and
glass. Occasionally he opens the
windows, and yells like a lunatic.
Officers who entered the house lately
found bushels of broken articles. He
goes to his office in the daytime quite
soberly.
In s|>eakiiig of fire-proof buildings,
the .American Architect says: “The
ordinary so-called fire-proof struct-
uret, ooo-isting of a granite shell en
closing naked irou • beams, carrying
brick arches, and supported by un
protected cast-iron columns, in poiot
oi security against fire are little bolter
thau frames of timber and pisnk, aud
fur inferior to timber frames covered
with wire doth end plastered.
The people want bargains, and tbs
business man who, la his ignorance,
believes they do not read the offers
made through the columns of the well*
- circulated daily and weekly news
papers throughout the country, Is guil
ty of an error ot which the suooess of
his more enterprising neighbor ought
to convince him — Richmond Pul*
