He was holding forth with ear nestness on some theme to a group of friends when that man you see over there by the cigar counter p ashed his way through the crowd, grasped Reed by the hand and said effusively: ‘Hollo, Tom, old boy! How do you do?’ “Reed responded in a manner that was more of a b.hke for the man than for his hand and went on with his talk. When our friend over there had edged out of the crowd, someone said: ‘You didn’t seem to he happy over him, Reed. Who is your friend, anyway?’ “Reed drawled out, ‘He’s a fellow from New York who knows more men Who don’t want to know him than any other man in the United States.’ ”—D troit Free Press. Thrifty Sqnanderen. When Napoleon entered Genoa In 1805, the rich patricians of the city exerted themselves to gain the favor of the conqueror by fall sorts of flat tering attentions. The most elaborate of these was a banquet patterned after the famous one offered by Antony to Cleopatra. The tables were set in an artificial garden, floating on pontoons, which were towed out to sea during the prog* ress of the feast. At the conclusion of the banquet—again in imitation of An tony and Cleopatra—all the costly golf and silver plate was flung into the see. This little tribute of honor to the enr peror was not so expensive as it seem ed, for the floating garden was sur rounded with nets, and the plate waf subsequently recoveijpd.

Fonrth Century IkarAtai. That shorthand was used In the an cient world is well known, but our in formation is still scanty, and any ad dition is welcome. It may therefore be worth knowing that there is in the Armenian “Acts of St. Callistratus” a reference to the employment of ste nography. A translation of this Is In cluded In Mr. F. C. Conybeare’s "Ar menian Apology and Acts of Apollo nius and Other Monuments of Early Christianity.” The account of Cal llstratus was probably written in the first half of the fourth century. It in cludes several long addresses of Calli stratus to his fellow soldiers in espla nution of the mysteries of the new faith l’or which he and forty-nine of his comrades became martyrs. Per haps with a view to giving them au thority as verbatim reports, the. com piler says; “But there was a certain scribe of the law court who was nenr to the prison, and he listened to the discourse of Callistratus, and he wrote it down In shorthand on paper and gave it to us, and we set in order with all ac curacy the record and outline of his thought” Thackeray’s Facial Appearance. In 1849 or 1850 Charlotte Bronte wrote of Thackeray: “To me the broad brow seems to express Intellect Cer tain lines about the nose and cheek be tray the satirist and the cynic: the mouth indicates a childlike simplicity, perhaps even a degree of Irresoluteness in consistency—weakness, in short, but a weakness not uuamlahle." And Mr. Motley, writing to his wife in 1858, said: “I believe you have never seen Thackeray. He has the appearance of a colossal infant—smooth, white, shin ing, ringlety hair, flaxen, alas, with ad vancing years: a roundish face with a little dab of a nose, upon which it is a perpetual wonder how he keeps his spectacles.” This broken nose was always a source of amusement to Thackeray himself. He caricatured it in bis drawing, he frequently alluded to It In his speech and in bis letters, and he was fond of repeating Douglas Jerrold’s remark to him w hen he was to stand as godfather to a friend's son, “Lord, Thackeray, 1 hope you won’t present the child with your own mug!” Candy Special bsMH Arrived by Yesterday’s Steamer: FANCY PACKAGES OF FINE CHOCOLATES.

Brittany is a land where the peasants till the earth in zouave trousers, torea dor jackets covered with arabesque embroideries and green waistcoats around which run lines of crimson. The women wear short red skirts, great mediei collars and coifs that flut ter about their heads like the wings of doves. From beneath the points of their black caps the children gaze at you with wide eyes full of the curiosity of animals. These people live in houses built of Sculptured granite and sleep in open work closets carved like the moucliara bieks of Egypt. In spite of the "Breton Interiors” and “Returns of the Fishermen” with which painters swamp the market this race is still unknown or misunder stood, for they should he seen not in paintings, but U their homes. In their old time streets, on market days and when, in fair time, the tents are pitched In the village market places. Fiery little horses draw to market fish, One vegetables and all the early produce of Roscoff. They are spread out upon the sidewalk. Chickens' cackle; goats bleat; pigs, tied by the leg, strain toward the vegetables, sniff ing at the fresh greens. Farmers in sabots, carrying great blue umbrellas under their arms, with the two ribbons of their felt hats float ing down their hacks, pick their way among the Dinan china displayed on the ground—capacious soup tureens, cider jugs and plates covered with painted flowers and grotesque figures. The peasants converse with but few gestures; they bargain in guttural tones. These taciturn people forget them selves in the barrooms on fair days. The taverns are full of noise. You may hear the sound of an accordion and the plaintive note of the biniou (a Sort of bagpipe), leading monotonous dances. Into the hnrbor come boats laden with fish; other boats go out. The ! fishermen are full of business. Next i week will occur the departure for the : new country. There are women who j weep. Above all this agitation the smoke of the village chimneys mingles with the I treat white clouds. The quiet sea mlr- 1 rors the sun.—Artist Castaigne In Can- J tury. TAX NOTICE.

Many years ago ome admirer; Of Lord Byron raised r subscription f r i monument to the p< t, to be placet, it Westminster abbey. Chantrey was re quested to execute .t, but on account of the smallness of the sum subscribed be declined, and Thonvaldseu wai thou applied to and cheerfully under j took the work. In about 1833 thq_linished statue ar rived at the custom house in London, but, to the astonishment of the sub scribers, the dean of Westminster, Dr. Ireland, declined to give permission tc have it set up In the abbey, and, ow!ug to this dittieulty, which proved insur mountable, for Dr. Ireland’s successor was of the same opinion, .it remained for upward of twelvt years in the cus tom house, when (1846) It was re- ' ' moved to the library of Trinity eol- 1 lego. Cambridge. The poet is represented in the statue of the sire of life, seated on a ruin, with his left foot resting on the frng [ ment of a column. Xu his right band he holds a Bt.vle up to his mouth; in his left a book, Inscribed “Childe Harold.” He Is dressed in a frock coat and cloak, i Reside him on the left Is a skull, above which is the Athenian owl.

A Model Surveyor. i The Kingman Leader-Courier tells of j an early day couuty surveyor In King man county. Ivan., who neither pos sessed any Instruments nor could-have used them if he had. His method of measuring land was to tie his ankles together with a cord that was just long enough to allow him to step one tlftk of a rod each time, aud thus hou hied he would strike out, counting his steps until he had made a sufficient number to cover the desired distance. The cord or string used by him la fastening his legs together, says the Leader-Courier, was made or raw hide, so that when he was traveling through the grass of a morning when the dew was on it would become wet aud stretch nearly a foot, aud so his steps were much longer ot a morning than they were of an evening after the sun had dried the whang leather and shortened it. Consequently the man having ids land surveyed in the mom lag would have much more in his quarter sectiou than his neighbor who had his work done in the afternoon These old surveys and corners then es. tublished cause annoyance even to this day.
