She was a Boston woman; tall, thin, with
falHC curls and a sour visage. Ceside her sat
her husband, a little, meek, demure looking
man, who seemed incapable of boldness of
speech or action. Presently a guest at the
other end of the table bawled out at the top of
his voice: "Waiter! fetch the vinegar cruet."
Then the demure looking little man turned to
her and said : "Dovey, somebody wants you."
A too utterly, too, too young man had his

before a justice of, the peace to recover the
amount. The defense was that the clairvoy
ant was a charlatau and that there was no
truth in the story she had told him. Turning
to her the justice then asked: "What have
you to say on that, madam ?" "I admit," she
replied, "that what I told him was purely Im
aginary and false." "Then why do you in

"Because," she answered, "it was worth $ j to

On the sleeper of an L. F. and W. tram re
cently a traveler noticed an old, white-bearded
gentleman trying to get in a linen duster. The
young and spry traveller rushed to his assist
ance and in helping him with his garment no
ticed a good-sizi'd whisky flask protruding
irom one ot the inside pockets ot his coat.
Being of a wagiish nature, he appropriated
the bottle, got the coat on the stranger, and
men puuing out a naak, saui:
"Will you take a drink ?" i
The old man did not recognize the bottle
and, drawing himself up, remarked, rather
severely:
"No, sir; I never drink." ' ;
"It won't hurt you," insisted the wag. "It's
the best."
"Young man," said the old gentleman, in
tended for all in the car to hear, "if you per
sist in drinking wmsky you will be a rulucd
man at forty. It is the curse ot the land.
When I was a boy my mother died, and the
last tning sue uiu was to call me to ner bed
side and say : 'John, swear to me that you will
never loucn a drop oi liquor' "
Here the old man clapped his band on his
aide pocket, found it empty, and recognizing
ine bottle in tue bands ot the otner, be con
tinued :
' Except, my dear boy, an occasional 6nifter
wnue traveling."
And reaching for the flask he pressed it to
bis lips, amid a bowl ot laughter which shook
the whole car.
That Roy ot Gallagher.
The circumstances were as follows: Mr.
Gallagher bad to take a train that left at six
o'clock, so he arose about daylight to breakfast
ana thought no had better put on some thick
boots instead of the light shoes he wore in the
evening. JNow.it seems that Uallagher s son
bad worn the old man's boots while roller
skating, and had left skates on the boots, and
in the darkness Gallagher did not notice this
fact as ho pulted the boots on, though he
thought they telt heavy. He then groped his
way to the head of the stairs, the skates mak
ing no trouble on the carpet. Then he started
down stairs. Ho got there dreadfully sudden.
He was terribly annoyed as he picked himself
up, and said very wicked things as he started
for the dining room. Breakfast was laid, but
only a dim light was burning. Immediately
he set toot on the polished floor his feet flew
into the air and his head came down with ter
rible force. The wild yell that ho gave
brought bis wife and mother-in-law in from
the kitchen. He rose to his feet, but they im
mediately started off in different directions,
and after wrenching his spine and knee joints
terribly in trying to control them, they got
away, and he jarred the spinal column as he
went down. "Landot gracious! this floor i.
oiled," he roared, as he began to make efforts
to rise. "Have you appoplexy or have you
been drinking?" asked his wife, as he strove
to assist him to get up. '.'You hold your jaw,
you idiot!" he replied, and then she let go of
nim sort of sudden, and down he went, bruis
ing himself in six places. "Gosh," "rnnket,"
"drat," and "durn," were words called into re
quisition to relieve his mind that time, and he
told his mother-in law, who had fallen laugn
ing into a chair, that he hoped sne would meet
cows every time she went out. Then he es
sayed to rise once more, and got npon his feet
The skates began to slip, but he struggled like
hero, and clutched the air wildly to Keep his
balance. No use. As he fell forward he wild
ly grabbed the table-cloth, and as a result
yanked the entire breakfast down upon him.
The hot tea scalded him, the pepper got into
his eyes, the mustard into nis mouth, and the
rgs all over him. ' His cries were fearful.
hCS hauled him from the debris and started
y put him to bed when they discovered the
jllers. Mr. Gallagher was terribly used up,
at he started at once to find his son, and the
3 signing over bis great griet was heard
mcks away.

A small boy leaned out of the rear third-story
window of hia father's house in Brooklyn,
yesterday afternoon, looking at the sky, and at
times Dreading out wun ine song, "in tne
North Bea lived a whale." His noise attracted
his newspaper neighbor, who leaned out and
said, "Well, Georgle, how are yon t"
"I'se a prisoner locked np on bread and wa

know it was loaded. You see, father was in
the army, and last week when you heard him
firm' off his pistols ha was shootln' at a
cat. He shot five times, and the cat looked op
and smiled when he got frou. Says I, 'Father
did you ever kill a man when you was a sol

"shoot fur a cent, tie says, I a'pose so.' 'Wen,'
ays I, 'you muster been close enough to bit

house. Well, I seed where he hid his pistol Id
his overcoat, and yesterday I rot it out. ah'
there was an accident. I felt sure it wasn't

A Fainter Incognito.
(From "David Cox," by William Hill.)
The narrator of this story had made a jour
ney to Conway, for the purpose of sketching
cottage interiors, ot which lie knew several
fine subjects in the place. - Whilst he was sit
ting one evening shortly alter his arrival in
the parlor of the little inn, at which he had
taken up his quarters, a stranger entered the
rndtn funb- a ynaf Kir t Im fl m unrl finnn lmrran a
conversation with our friend. They talked of
art; and the stranger, who said be came from
London and painted a little himself, inquired
if there were any subjects ot picturesque char
acter in that neighborhood on which he could
try his hand. His dress was so peculiar and
his general appearance so unlike that of a pro
fessional artist out on a sketching excursion,
tuat the narrator beueyed mm to do an ama
teur painter a small tradesman, or clerk per
haps in some city establishment taking his
holiday, and bent on amusing himself by do
ing a little sketching. He even thought it not
impossible (tbe costume of the stranger was so
odd and unsuitable tor rambling about in, and
his manner altogether so remarkable) that the
new-comer might be a tailor with artistic ten
dcncies, from some West End house, on a trip
In search ot health as well as the picturesque.
It was not long before the stranger gathered
that there were in the place some exceedingly
fine cottage-interior subjects which he had
come there to paint; and saying that he him-
sell was very fond of subjects or the kind,
asked if he might bo permitted to go and see
them. On the following morning he was in
troduced to a "splendid interior," which both
agreed to paint ; and taking up their stations
a little apart, they very soon began operations.
The artist sketched his subject very carefully
upon the canvas, laid out his colors, and put
on a few tints here and there, just to feel his
way ; and after working for about an hour, oc
casionally looking over the top of bis picture
towards his companion, who was sticking to
his task apparently not much disturbed by the
difficulties of his subject, he rose from his seat
to ascertain how the "tailor" (as be thought
him to be) was progressing. What was his
astonishment on discovering that the "tailor"
had nearly finished his picture, while his own
was only a little more than commenced 1 And
what a picture it was! Snch splendid color!
so masterly in the handling! the drawing of
every detail so perfect ! tho figures introduced
wun such skin, ana the whole soetlectivei
He was rendered quite speechless as he stood
gazing at the marvellous work. At length he
found words to exclaim, "Well, you hate as
tonished met I did not think you could paint
anything fit to be seen ! Why, you are a most
able artist! May I inquire your name? The
person addressed quietly responded, "My name
isMuller." "Oh r replied the other, with a
groan ot contrition, "why didn't you tell me
that before? I took you for a tailor!"
Tho New Orleans ricauune give a serious
warning to practical jokem. At two o'clock
on a recent morning a gentleman left his clnb
in that city with a friend, and, tbe latter re
turning for hia cane, the former concealed
himself in the bottom of tbe big box that
holds tbe balancing weight ot tbe elevator ami
is called a "lift case." 1 he friend came back
and went away disgusted at finding no trace
of tho jolly joker.. Ine latter, as be entered
the lifucase, had closed the door. - He tried to
open it but could not, lor it opened without a
key only from the outside, lie laughed heart
ily to see the biter bit, until presently he heard
a noise which he could not misinterpret The
lift was slowly falling down from the fourth
Door. He, in groping lor the door, bad pulled
the rope which Bet it free. Death stared him
in the face, for that immense mass of iron
would inevitably crush him as flat as a pan
cake, and by a slow torture that would make
dying seem an agony of horrors. He became
frantic with fear, tie flung himself against
the door ot his life-case as only despair could
do; he shrieked for help. His shrieks were
beard by the Janitor, who fonnd him in a
swoon and dragged him ont when the lift was
only fifteen feet off. A physician was sum

there "began the usual uproar. It appears
that be came for fight, .and went down to the
depot barroom and there filled up with forty

rode straight into and through the depot. A

over the head with a six shooter. Bond then
