Nye 1 I do not know that any one hast over refwred publicly to the average stage hand a wo 11 nd him at the on night stands. I di not me-an the professional stage hand, hut tln yung and pimply party who acts as Unor walker for a livery stable during the day and shifts the scenery ut the theatre at night. He Is a self made young man, who is not afraid to appear before any audience n a pair of high top rubber boot which he has used all day to wash l and light the footlights amid thunders of applause. We had 0M of these gentle men the other night. He brought nine others to help him. I think that the most of them sleep on the stage nights. They were playing "old sledgfe" behind the drop curtain when we came. I do not know what tiny wi re there for. We did not want them. W. did not need them. They joyfully stood aroi"id in the way and spat down a large knothole near the curtain rope, although it waa a hopeless task, for it dried up before the next one could get ready, and so they are no nearer to floating the stage away than when they first began. 1 asked the head man if he would get me a glass of water. He said he had to remain in order to attend to the curtain. As we do not use anv curtain or scenery or properties, except a glass of water and a stick of hoarhound candy, I thought he couhl lie spared, but he did not seem to think so, and I got a small boy to bring roe the water, while the head boy, now stage Napoleon, went to reading once more the thrilling tale, "Married in Haste, to Repent at CUtMgO; or. How I Won Her.'" by A. Oner, Esq. He was the tiredest voting nmn for one who waa just in tin- tliitT and bloom and heyday of life that I ever saw. He had a rery retreating chin. Otherwise he would not have had the strength of pur pose to spit over it. His forehead also naked to be excused and went back into his hair in search of ideas and one tiling and another, I judge One of his front teeth had disapfteared. Doubtless kicked out by an infuriated horse while the two were sleeping in the same stall, the horse teing tied, howev. i , and unable to get away, using his onlv means of discouraging a bed fellow with whom he could certainly hnve nothing in common. The Ions of this tooth gave him greater scope as an expectorator, and would have assisted his smile if he had ever smiled, but he never smiled. It is very rare that such a man laughs. His dignity and a set of liverwurst thought works in a poor state of preservation, are all he has. Life is a serious manor with an ass. I do not say this in order to be euphonious, but from the rich and over flowing treasures of a ripo experience. (I thought I would say that before some one else did it for me.) The ass is always sad and dignitied. He is profound and mournful. If you desire to see solemnity, dignity and men tal obliquity, go to th- penitentiary and to the corral when the deep voiced ass with the low, retreating forehead trills bis tremendous notes in the hush of the evening. My dead friend, Mr Shaw, once said that dignity was no more the sign of wisdom thrm tl- p:i t collar was the aign of a shirt, and I can put my hand on my heart and say he waa right. I once knew a man who had a good deal of dignity anil a beard that he could part in the middle like a skye ter rier's. With these rare gifts of mind and heart he married a sweet voung girl and got u reading notice of forty lines in exchange for a wedge of linde cake, which was afterward used in thin strijw for double leading the editorials. He advanced rapidly, until he had obtained the confidence of all who knew him. Cashing this confidence one Saturday evening, he parted with his parted u lin kers, his flowing hair became tied, and in the morning, as a dignitied man who had never Us;n known to smile, wrote his name on the register at Montreal. "Many Citizens.'' "Veritas."

A dinner in New Vork may also be ar ranged nine 1 1 cheaper t ban $10 a plate, by having several 'bright conversation alists at each end of the table and skip ping the horse doovers, arriving at once at the removes of say a broiled pig's foot on toast, a bottle of Ann Hizer Sec and ice cream. A bright conversationalist or a good humorist who is willing to give a fair equivalent for his food can save you at such a meal hundreds of dollars. You might have to take the conversa tionalist and humorist out into the wood shed and give them something extra before the meal, in order to keep them up to where they would be willing to sparkle and be the life of the party, but even then it would be a great saving to you. I once went to a delightful dinner of this kind, but was not told to sparkle, so talked entirely with a young lady near me all the evening regarding Mr. Russell and the Delsarte theory. The host was so mad that he did not pass me the pie at all. and ate my dried prunes with the rich umbrella juice that went with them, while I was looking the other way. When he gave me my hat and overcoat at last, in the hall, he hissed in my oar: "You have wont Iwtck on me and have came to my house for the last time. If you bad of done the square thing you would have had as good u time as you was ever at, and got your little old $5 besides, but now you can be excused. 1 didn't ast you to come here and stuff yourself full of my victuals and then talk art to a mere stripling of a girl. If you want to get ahead y.ai want to do it some other way." 1 tol i him trm when I found out where to get ahead 1 would le sure to give him the address. I thru selected a good pair of overshoes, took what I thought to bt a fresh cigar from the stand and wont away. It did not smell so fresh, however, after I lighted it as I thought it would. He was a coarse, vulgar man, with a great deal of money, but too mean to give his wife money enough to build her dress sufficiently high to protect her chest from the biting blast. Little do we know, Mrs. Pennypacker, of the suffer ing there is from exosuro even in the homes of wealth. "Bright Alfarata," San Jose, Gil., asks what to do for an ingrowing nail and how to make salt rising bread. I do not know what to do. I never had c-vether. "Theological Student." No, you are wrong about that.

The United States does not or do not compare well with England in the matter of iiassonor steamers. Aside from tho Ilotxjfce-n ferry and a naphtha launch our keels are not found plowing the waters very much. Buffalo Bill g'es over to London with his Indians and scouting clothes in a foreign steamship, and then foreign steamships take 800,000 people over there to see him. Then, when they got through, foreign steamships bring them home, also the fleecy William and his band. Then be gies to i'uris in a for eign steamer. Several hundred thou sand Americans go over there also, util izing English and other alien keels for that purposi in .rder to hear Col. Cody converse with Chemise L'l Rouge in rrencii. men tiny oonw MM the same way, and he follows suite. When we get the World's fair it will be the same way. The American is not an aquatic, bird, but rather a hewer of wood and vender of town lots. He riseth up in the morning while it bj vet night, and saith unto himself, I will buy a farm in Anoka county, and I will lay it out in lots, ami I will also lay out the gentle a-s that buyeth the same, and I will make him for to bray be fore the evening has come, for behold he shall call for a room at an inn and he shall record his name thereat, and the name wherewithal he shall record him self will be Ieiiins. "Birdie," Booth Broottra, N. Y., asks. Who was Wild Bill, and how did bedieV Wild Bill was a gentleman named Hick ock, ami he did not reck aught for any one It was said that ho had a most pecul iar thorax. All bis ribs and breast bones wen hu closely united that his heart and side lights were encased in a bony pan- pij almost impervious to u bullet, and he was frequently spoken of as the man with the hunting case thorax and Bes wimer works. He could drink, or be could let it alone, so he divided up the time in such u way that he would let it alone mostly while engaged in slumber. He was shot in the back of the bead by a brave but cross eyed man at Dead wood in the spring of '70, us he sat at a card table in one of the social centers of that city, playing projjressive euchre. Wild Bill wore profuse hair, in which at early spring time the swallows were wont to build their nests and rear their young. The murderer of Wild Bill, after his crime, came at once on horseback from Duadwood to my town, where through strong political influence I got an intro duction to him. He talked pleasantly and even kindly to mo, although he had denied himself to all other reporters and held himself aloof from the general pub lic. He was rather plain in appeurance, and yet I can truthfully say that among all the murderers I have known, and who have written im my autograph album, be was the most unostentatious a-el least puffed up by his sudden elevation. He told me that he only regretted that he had not fitted himself for the position to which he found himself so suddenly ele vated. On the day of his execution he ate a hearty breakfast of bam and eggs, angel food, pork sausage, blanc mange, calves' liver, custard pie. mackerel, snow pud ding and codfish bails. I e then wrote in a steady hand the fol owing senti ment in an album for a le ititiful young lady who tried to get him ardoned: "Dkar One I hope yo i willtry to live a blameless life, so that you can meet me in heaven. Your , "Robert." All his advice to every one was good. He even told the clergym m who went with him to the scaffold ihat be must pot be weary in well 4oiag, but strive SB through life and lie WO lid surely ob tain his reward. He was dressed in his Iwsl suit of rlothes. As he went to the scatTol I. he Carried a liouquet of choice orchids, given him lv the Voun' Ladies lia id of Crime Preventer-.. When asked if h bad an rthinft to say liefort; his death lie o dy sn iled sweetly, laid his chew of tobacco M the cross piece of the scaffold and laid: "Ladies and gentleman, I m going home to die no more. I cannot make i speech, but I am resolved from this i nt to lead a blameless life. I hope you will all dotle same, so thai you can QM.4 nie in lhat bright land to which I ai i now going to." At this point the jr. -at wtightol his overshoes broke his neck, and be passed on to receive In- rew ml. Sk,. ptj cal people were afraid that he had lieen a little over sanguine regarding the future state, but hoped that lie had. as a old distiller expressed it, bi come one of the rectified spirits.

A resolution presented by D. W. Lit tle was adopted, petitioning the board of agriculture of the state to appoint a superintendent of institutes to direct all congressional and local institutes. FOOD ADULTEHATICN. During tbe discussion incidental to the adoption of thef.e resolutions. Prof. Southwell made a statement of tbe methods of meat inspection in Germany which he described as follows: The ani mal is first inspected alive, and if satis factory, it is killed snd specimens taken of five different parts of the beef and each section is marked with a number. Then an inspeetor Is obliged to give ach sam ple five minutes microscopical examina tion. If he reports ihe entire matter sat isfactory the beef is allowed to be put on the market, but il any particle is not re garded hs sound the beef is sent to the reuderino; fnctory. Mr. Southwell gave in this connection bis belief that when American beef is as carefully inspected it will be admitted to Germany. Mr. Jonathan Periam substantiated Mr. Southwell's assertion and from this he branched out into a general talk on milk as well as meat adulteration and food adulteration of various kinds. The sense of the meeting was that the gov ernment should have official inspectors of all food products of whatsoever descrip tion . After the consideration of this topic tbe institute adj jurned.
