'His Looks Were Deceptive.
He did not look like a joker.
VOue, to sit and study his face,
-would have said that his soul was
so lost in melancholy that ' he
didn't care whether the sun set
at noon or stayed up until 7 o'-
clock. He entered the ladies' sit-Uing-'room
of the Central Depot,
walked to a woman whose hus-
1 band had left the room about ten
minutes previously, and calmly
inquired :
"Madam, your husband went
2 out to see the river, didn't he?"
"Yes why?" she asked, turn
ing pale in an instant.
"He was a tall man, wasn't he?"
"He was," she replied; rising
up ana turning still paler.
"Had red hair!"
"He had oh! what has hap
pened?" "Weighed about one hundred
' and eighty pounds?"
"Yes yes where is he where
is my husband!" she exclaimed.
"Couldn't swim, could he?"
"He's drowned my husband
'is drowned!" she wailed.
"Had a silver watch-chain?"
continued the stranger.
"Where is my husband where
is the body!" she gasped.
"Do not get excited; madam.
Did your husband have on a gray
suit?"
"Yes oh ! my Thomas! my dear
Thomas!"
"And stoga boots?"
VLett-me see him let me see
him!"1 she cried.
'"Come this way, madam, but
do not get excited. There, is that
your husband across the street at
that peanut stand?"
"Why, yes, that's him; that's my
husband!" she exclaimed, joyful
ly, "1 thought you said he was
. drowned."
"NO madam, I did not. 1 saw
him buying peanuts, and I be
lieved it my duty to say to you
that peanuts are not healthy at
this season of the year."
He sailed softly out, and she
stood there and chewed her para
sol and stared after him as if he
were a menagerie on wheels.
Practical Joking.
A sad tragedy occurred near
Penn Yau, N. Y., recently. Ed
ward Cole and Gen: Pierce, brothers-in-law,
were inmates of the
same dwelling, and a harmonious
feeling had always existed be
tween the two iamilies. About
10 o'clock on that evening, Cole
. came home from his father's,
where he said he had been spend
ing the evening. Being very
fond of practical jokes, he con
. eluded to play one on Pierce and
, family. Accordingly, when he
arrived at the house, he knocked
w at the door, and in response to
. "Who's there?" a disguised voice
, said, "Your money or your life."
Failing to obtain admittance he
rwent to the rear of the house, re
- moved his boots and climbed up
, on a shed and. raised a window
and entered. Pierce, hearing
' him, called from below, "Don't
you come in here or I will kill
you." Cole paid no attention but
,. entered the window and started
for the stairs. Pierce met him at
the top of the.stairs when they
clinched, and Pierce being armed
with a butcher knife, ran it
. through Cole's throat, servering
the jugular vein. Cole exclaim
ed "You have killed Edward Cole!
' My poor wife and children !" and
, expired. A sad ending to a prac
tical joke.
MELI&SA'S QUANDARY.
1 declare my head seems bursting, and my
brain iu quite a whirl,
These men a?e so provoking 'tis a plagu
to be a girl J
I don't object to bellehood, to beauty, or
to beaux ;
But, then, 'tis so preplexing when th
horrid things propose.
Papa is looking curious, and mamma is
looking wise,
There's a world of awful warning in Aunt
labby 3 blinking eyes.
I've a score or more of lovers, every, age
and style and kind ;
I am twenty and unsettled, for I can't make
up my mind.
There's that charming Captain Hawkins
with his untamed, eagle glance-
Such a hero in the saddle, such a partner
in the danco .'
Such shoulders and such whiskers! I ador
ed him for a week.
And then it somehow struck me he had ra
ther too much cheek.
Then the famous Lawyer Morton who's
so witty and so keen,
Who says so many clever things I don'
know half they mean,
Who studies me as though I were some
problem Ielt unread :
But I couldn't have the lawyer, he has
quite, quite too much head.
Ihen my dreamy poet-lover, with his
starry, shiuing eyes,
And his fortuue floating somewhere in the
misty luture skies,
They say a poet's worship is each wo
man s secret coal;
But I'm of "earth, still earthy." he ha
rather too much soul.
And there's well, yet another, who is no
ble, brave and true,
Who wooswith simple earnestness as sim
ple men will woo.
Wh ose love is deep and tender of his
very life a part;
But I 'twere shame to listen;. he has realk
too much heart.
For I must have lace and diamonds, and
I must have style and dash.
And what are hearts, or minds, or souls.
if folks are minus cash ?
I vow I'll take old Golding, though they
say he s eighty-two;
But he's worth at least a million, and
what better could I do?
His mind is getting shaky, so he won't be
overwiso,
And 'tis time his soul was tending to a
home beyond the skies;
He has neither heart nor liver, and his
lungs are far from strong
Poor man ! he quite adores me, and he
can't adore me long.
In the Detroit Police Court.
IBRANDY AND BLANDLY.
"Really, now," smiled .Robert
Clark, as he came out, "mere
drink of brandy no harm done
rather unfortunate."
"Do you plead guilty?" asked
the court.
"Ah! really, no case against
me," smiled the prisoner. "This
is mere form, you know my hat
good by much obliged.
"Come back here!" exclaimed
his Honor, "lhere! now turn
around here, air!"
"Ah ! supposed you were
through," smiled the prisoner.
"I am in something of a hurry,
and I'd like to be off."
"Well, sir, I won't detain you
long. Chalk him off for thirty,
Bijah, and see what's in that
bundle under his arm."
"But really you know you
can't you know," said Robert,
bowing and smiling.
But they did.
MA.TILDA PITCH
Was tall and dignified and mvs
terious. When the warrant had
been read she desired to make a
statement, and when leave was
granted she wished to whisper it
in his Honor's ear.
"Can't allow any such thing,"
he replied. "If you have any
thing to say speak right out in
meeting and let everybody hear.
"I feel faint," she said.
"Well, Bijah can bring out the
hartshorn; this case must go on,
even if 1 have to fan you with
the warrant."
"Do they say I was drunk?"
she asked.
"They do."
"When?"
"Last evening."
"Where?"
"On the street."
"What time?"
"Ten o'clock."
"Well, I suppose I'll have to go
up," she continued ; "but I want
it understood that I'm to have
oysters for breakfast and hot bis
cuit for supper. I'm only a feeble
woman, bnt I know my rights,
andhali stick up for them."
Her ticket said "thirty days."
' A RAISING BON.
"Henry Lee, did you beat your
poor old mother?" asked the court
of a boy sixteen.
"No, sir, and she lies if she said
I did!" answered the boy.
"That's right, Henry, always
speak up promptly." replied the
court, "I'll make it sixty clays for
your promptness.
A Curious Show.
Out in Denver there is an ex
hibition now being given which
is of more than usual interest
showing as it does the wonderful
capabilities hitherto lying cior
mant. and now brought out by
skilled training, of wild animals
from which nothing of the kind
could resonable be expected. 1 h
following from the Denver Tri
bune will give our readers some
idea of what these animals can
do, and of what we may expect in
the future.
The eik, an animal from which
nothing has ever before been ex
pected, except, indeed, tender
steaks and juicy roasts, has been
traiued to do some of the finest
jumping ever witnessed, and to
perform many interesting tricks
The bunalo call has been in tram
ins: only a short time, and does
not come out strong yet. His in
telligence and ambition have not
yet been sufficiently aroused. He
does, however, obey the word of
command, and will run around
the ring to order, and lie down
when told if lie happens to feel
like it.
The wonderful thing about the
exhibition is that Bartholomew
will control direct nine horses
two goats and a bufl tlo calf, put
them through a great variety of
movements and make them per
form mauy wonderful tricks, sim
ply by the word of command
never touching them, and having
not even a halter on them.
He will stand in the centre of
the ring and call to a horse stand
mg with the others, by the side
of the tent, to come to him. and
the animal will respond with the
alacrity of a voter invited to take
drink. And the horses have
leen trained to do varous things;
win raise the lids of boxes with
meir noses, and take out any ar
ticle found therein; have been
taught to di-stingruish colors and
will as directed, select ared, white
or blue flag, and carry the same
to their master. They will step
to music, mark, time, and waltz.
keeping perfect time, Bartho
lomew expects to put them though
the galop shortly. Two of them
have been trained to take positions
on opposite ends of a long plank,
placed over a block three or four
feet high, and there will see-saw
with as much grace, and seeming:
ly with as much zest, as two tru
ant school-boys. Thev will roll
barrels, fire pistols, and imitate
man in almost everything except
akmg whiskey, and playing
poker.
The two goats will lump upon
their respective horses and as the
horses gallop rapidly around the
ring will turn around and change
horses, as readily as Independent
newspapers change position or
parties.
The most wonderful thing is the
drill. Bartholomew will call his
nine herses out by name make
hem fake their position accord
ing to size, and then make them
march by company front, in pla
toon, and in file, make them
wheel and countermarch, and
make them move in quick step
and double quick. He will teach
them the mauual of arms and the
artillery practice next. And to
wind up one acts as orderly-sergeant
and dismisses the rest. It
must be remembered that through
all th's the animals are all loose,
not a rope or halter on any of them
and are managed entirely by word
of command. At the command
"come here," "go get that,"
"march" and so on, they start as
promptly as a small boy in a well
regulated family, when his stern
parent tells him to go after an
armful of wood or a pail of water.
If Bartholomew should tell one of
his horses to climb a greased pole,
we believe the animal would at
least make the attempt. As this
exhibition goes East, the people
well learn that rich assays, mag
nificient mining schemes, big
beets, enormous turnips and large
stories are not the only wonder
ful things that come from the
Rocky Mountain region.
A friend of ours who has been
married about a year, speaking of
babies, says : The delight of the
days the torment of the nights
elegant in full dress but horrible
in dishabille beautiful on the
smile, but maddening on the yell
exquisitely in place in the nur
sery, but awful de trop in the
parlor, theatre, or railroad car
the fountains of all joy, and some
thing else the well-spring of de
light, and the recipients of un
limited spankings the glory of
"pa" the happiness of "ma"
who wouldn't have 'em?
One-third of the rural laborers
in Prussia, and one-half in Russia
are females.
