* LIFE: Pit S2S5ORS AT NLL N attendant at Mount Vernon, not long ago, found a lady weeping most bitterly and audibly, with her handker- chief at her eyes. He slipped up to her and said: “Are you in trouble, madam?" ‘No, sir,” she sobbed, ‘‘I saw you weep- ing.” “Ah,” said she, ‘‘ how can one help weeping at the grave of the ‘ Father of his Country?’” ‘Oh, indeed, madam” said he, ‘‘ that's not it. The tomb's over yonder. This is the ice- house !"—Argunaut. “*T TELL you what it is, gentlemen,” said the foreman, solemn- ly, ‘if this sort of thing keeps on, they'll be having Chinese jurymen next, and the business will be ruined entirely, It’s al- most time we made an example of some one. ‘Spose we give him fifteen years.” And they did.—San Franciscan. THE cashier of the East Saginaw Savings Bank, who recently skipped to Canada with $350,000, has just sent back a check for $10,000, to be used in enlarging the Almshouse at that town. He says that no one shall accuse him of not feel- ing for the poor depositors. Tue jury in the case of the man whose child was run over at Visalia, has just returned a verdict against the C. P. for two thousand dollars damages, instead of the fifty thousand de- manded. Of course, the only inference is that the jurymen themselves Pperesse a job-lot of children which they are willing to dispose of to the railroad at the same bedrock price.—£x. 363 “Joun, did you go round and ask how old Mrs. Jones was this morning, as I told you to do last night?” ‘*Yes, sir.” “ Well, what was the result?” ‘She said that seeing as how you had the impudence to ask how old she was, she 'd no objection to tell- ing you she was 74.” **A CURIOUS negro superstition is that a man who has been struck by lightening can not swim,"’ says an exchange. We have noticed the same thing, too, about negroes who have died from yellow fever.— Puck. TRADE PROTECTION. Tue terrible depression in all classes of business was aptly illustrated in one of our criminal courts last week. When the jury retired for consultation, the foreman announced that the prisoner had just conveyed to him the fact that he had only ten dollars left to ‘‘ put up.” “Ten dollars!" exclaimed one of the dozen, indignantly. ‘* What does the fellow take us for? We are willing enough to do the fair thing, heaven knows ; but ten dollars! I call that rubbing it in.” ‘He might at least have made it a dollar apiece,” snorted another. “Ou, say, ma!" exclaimed a bright little girl at the Hoffman House while at dinner, “‘hasn’t that man over there got awful big cars?” * Hush, child ; the gentleman might hear you," cautioned the mother. ‘Well, ma,” returned the precocious youngster, ‘if he could n’t hear me with those ears he ought to haul them down.” —N. ¥.
