Said a gentleman yesterday who

roads build a handsome union pas

Mi:. Clarkson, late first assistant!
postmaster general, has a great |
scheme on foot. He proposes to es- .
tablish a first class daily republican j
newspaper iu the south, probably in
Atlanta, with a capital of $250,000.
He thinks this would be the surest
way to convert the manufacturing
classes in the south to whatever i
tariff’ policy the republican party |
may decide upon, and also to hold ! 1
the negroes firmly iu line. Thus far j
Air. Clarkson has not been able to I !
find the capital necessary to carry I ,

Perhaps the oldest Bible in the court
house is that v,lnch quietly reposes in
a desk in the clerk's office of the city
court. In its day it was a good and
faithful servant, and was never known
to shirk its duty. For the purpose of
familiarizing myself with the facial out
lines of tiie- sacred volume I went to
see it a few days ago..
One of tiie chief clerk’s subalterns
groped around for a key and unlocked
tiie desk. He then drew forth a small
sized book.
“How old is it?" asked the writer, as
the clerk ran over tiie dirty, greasy
pages witii liis fingers. •
“That book, sir, is 25 years of age,
and was employed in this court during
all flint time, with the exception of
two years. We finally placed it on the
retired list, and here it is.”
'file edges of tiie cover were worn
away witii handling and kissing, and a
great many leaves were missing.
"Thousandsof lips have come in con
tact witii that Bible," said tiieclerk, as
lie sat mournfully contemplating it.
“What's more, millions of lies have
been told over it. 1 wish I had a nickel
lor every time it lias been held up to
the lips. I would throw down my pen
and lead an easy life."
The autograph of tiie late Chief
Justice Neilson adorns the inside of tht
top cover, and also tiie name Aury
Snedeker, wiio w.'is for many years n
clerk in the court and had administered
many an oath. Very few witnesses
would relish putting their lips to that
book, so positively greasy and ill smell
ing is it. Brooklyn Eagle.
lie Never Called Again.
A stiff Englishman made a forma'
call on an equally stiff English gir
down in Staten Island not long ago.
He called about 4:30 in the afternoon,
and sat in one of those comfortable
square wicker chairs. About 5 o’clock
he made a motion to rise, but resumed
liis seat; tiie young lady resumed hers.
She had an engagement at half past
5, and saw the hands of the clock get
ting near that hour. Twice the man
seemed on the point of leaving; twice
he started to rise, twice she rose; then
lie sat down again, and she resumed
her seat each time. Finally the hall
hour struck- then it became quarter to
6. The engagement had not been kept.
Did the man intend to stay to dinms'i
He didn’t; lie explained matters.
“Miss M.,” lie said at last, witii con
siderable hemming ipid hawing, “the—
all—buttons on the tail of my—ah—
coat are caught in the—ah—back of
tiie—ah—chair, and I cannot disengage
them. May I—ah- ask your assist
ance?”
Miss M. came to liis assistance and
cut the buttons off instead of taking
them out of tiie chair back. The
Englishman’s leave takings were brief,
and he’s never repeated the call even
to this day.—Chatter
The Were Wolf.
Were-wolves (man wolves), accord
ing to a superstition very prevalent
during the "dark ages," were persons
who had the power of transforming
themselves into wolves or other fierce
beasts, retaining human intelligence,
coupled with all the ferocity of beasts
of prey. Persons -who believe in were
wolves were of the opinion that the
hair grew inward, and that the human
being possessed of such qualities bad
but to turn himself inside out to effect
tiie wonderful metamorphosis. The
superstition is traceable to the classical
faille of Lykaon. Like the poor wretches
who were burned and otherwise put to
death for witchcraft, those suspicioned
of being were wolves were crucified or
broken on tiie wheel after first being
flayed alive by the superstitious ex
ecutors, who were i:i search of tiie sup
posed hairy inside St. Louis Repub

A writer has invented the word
“Unistatians," wiiich he applies to the
people of the United States. He ob
jects to the word “Americans.” But it
is too late. The people of the United
States have monopolized the name of
the continent, and are known all over
the world as Americans. The people
of Mexico are content to be known as
Mexicans, and the people of Canada
ought to be content with the word
Canadians. Let the Yankees continue
to be Americans- Canadians is a good
enough name for the people of this
great mid glorious country.—Hamilton

The fact that the herring dies almost

In commenti ng on the change of base of Murat
Hal-lead, Ihe fain us editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, to that <f the Brooklyn •
Mandard Union, an afternoon p iper, the Times- j t
Star remarks that “the superior r'erits of an
evening p.i|.cr when compared with those of a
morning issue have long been acknowledged. I ’
The one is a history of to-day, t lie other a history , •
of yesterday; the one is current, the other is a
back number. The l umber of triumphs of the
evening paper is legion. lor the issue that
comes out with the crowing of the cock the busi- •
j ■ nose man has no timo save that which he steals
as he bolts his breakfast and gulps down his cof
fee. He glances nt headlines,notices latest quota* ■
tion of the prices of the products he lias to sell
and then abruptly exchanges the paper for his
hat For a critical readingof the news he de- i
pemls upon the hours following his 6 o’clock
meal. Then, with his slippers on and his feet
I mounting tr.e back of a chair or the mantel, he i
settles himself f>r double duty, v.z: digesting
his supper and the <lay’s history. Nothing in the j
evening papers escapes the reader’s c>e; tele- i
graph, local, editorial,miscellany and advertise- i
ments are devoured. It is not a lunch of news,
but a veritable banquet. The morning paper is
only nibbled at, the evening paper Is devoured.
Th j advertiser is awakening t-> this expensive
fact. ’I he man who hus*betn pilloried in the
