I was traveling recently in New Eng ' land whon I dropped into a Boat, one- half of which was already occupied by a man whoso appearance would attract ' remark and observation under tho most ordinary circumstances.

This was Mr. Shaw as Josh Billings, our Yankee Rochefoucauld, who is a con stant oasis and well-spring of wit in a great American dosert of "alleged" humor. , "I have written for ioventeon years without missing a week for one story paper," he said in the course of a con versation. "I am nothing but a para graphia, and acknowledge what I can't rut in two lines I oan't express at all. , I have, finally, after a quarter of a cen tury, whittled down all philosophy, all wisdom, and all ignorance iuto the par agraphs of Solomon, in which he ac knowledged himself a plagiarist. 'There is nothing now under the sun.' The most a man can do with a thought is to sharpen an end of it so it will go in easier. There is no possible addition that can be mado to the world of ideas. And not a shaving is ever lost. Some poor fellow picks it up and goes to whittling and sharpening again. "I have to catch my ideas on tho run. If I don't they will get away. I put them down iu this book, sometimes twenty a day." The book looked like a grocery or a bank book. It answered for the latter for Josh Millings' para graphs are worth a dollar apiece. "I see yon have drawn lines ovor several pages," I said: "are those con demnod or useless jokes?" "No sir. I never correct anything after it is on paper. ..

W lint the Trcsmiry People Fear. , What the treasury people fenr in the future is that their paper issued may by duplicated by tho means employed bv the photo-lithographers. It is possi ble with the aid of photodithographvto duplicate every line of the most skillful and intricate engraving. This fact was brought to the attention of tho depart ment uot long ago. 1'he statutes forbid any i.itatior of the currency of the country for tho pur poses of advertisement. This is not generally understood. A New York brewer recently devised a business card in the shape of a plate with sev eral bills of different denominations lying upon the plate, being held down by a gold and a silver coin. He had employed regular bills aa the models for the work, ami the result is absolutely startling. What portions of the bills that -diowinthe careless piling are absolutely perfect. Ther were re prod ueed by photo-lithograph v and then colored exactly like the originals. The plates were all seized, and the brewer notitjed that he was a violator of the law, although hi intent waa innocent This discovery has set tin uiticiula to thinking. With tho right kind of paper any skillful photo-lithographer eoul.l get up millions in a very short time. To guard spsinst the danger ami to provide lmnnsof detecting such counterfeits are as yet unsolved problems. rnmplux Out the Mrs. The Iutch at ono time thought of pumping out the Zuyder Zee, ami asked 3lrKooL alter, of Ohio, fur an esti mate AUt turbine win to l,n wnrl-ii.l by v the tide.

SECOND-HAND SCHOOL COOK3- Dealer Who Hell to Xew I.'cnerv linn tbe Hook That Other Iiuvj lied. - i Xew Yolk Hun. "The trade in second-hand se' ool books, through a recent industry,' sa d a dealor, "hns grown into considerable proportions, and to-day thre is not an important city or village in the couuir which has not its dealer in second hand school Isxiks. Here is nif last catalogue and price-list, which will give you some idea of the magnitude of tho business," The catalogue contained a list of more than thirty thousand text-books, mostly standard works, all listed at about one-linlf publisher s prices. "Where do vou get your bocks?" the reporter asked. "There are many sources. Fublisb en frequently introduce their books into schools by taking the text-books already in use and allowing something for them. We could formerly get these books for a little advance on paper dealers prices, bnt many publishers now guard against this by having chop-ping-blocks and cleavers in their estab lishments and chopping each book in two crosswise. There is no . way in which such a book can be mode salable. The old plan of tearing off covers was no safeguard, since we can recover school books of medium size for twelve cents per hundred. We get a great many books, most of which are unused, from teachers in district schools, to whom they are mailed by the publishers. But of course a ma' jority of the books come from the pupils themselves, who are glad to part with them, an old school book having novaluo to most of them. Then we get an immense number from the smaller dealers in ether parts of the coun try. Our larger New York houses have men constantly out for that pur pose. It may be that a second-hand dealer in Omaha will be the man to supply me with the particular text Iwoks I need to complete my stock. Publishers try to meet our competition by constantly changing their editions. But these changes react again, lwth teachers and pupils in many schools being opposed to the changes and ad hering to tho old editions. The only text-book, which is not much changed with each new edition is 'Webster's Spelling-book,'of which a million copies a yoar are published, and which has been changed in no important respect since it was first published in 1800. You can buy one of the latest edition for 5 cents, but one of the first would be worth more than 5. Five years is the average lifo of a school book. After that time tho editions have so much changed that the book id value less. Kale for Kldln. In mounting, face tho near side of the horse. The near side is the sido nearest vourself. If vou stand on the right side of the horse, which is the wrong sido, when you mount you will face the crupper. Then everybody will know your name is Johan Ootlieb Erui sicrelfolirer. If vou cannot mount from the ground, lead tho horse to the fenco, climb upon it, say "whoa" two or three times, and jump over the horse s ears, lou will light somewhere on his neck, and you will have plenty of time to adjust yoursjlf while tho liorso is running away. Another method of mounting, largely practiced by young gentlemen from the city, is to balance yourself on ono foot on the fence,' and point the other leg at tho horse, in the general direction of the saddle, saying "whoa" all the time. The horso, after this gesture has been repeated a few times, backs away, pulls the alleged rider off the fence, and walks up and down the lane w ith him at a rapid gallop. This gives the rider, in about ten minutes, all the exercise he wants for a week. If by some mira cle you manage to get iuto the saddle. hold on with both hands and say "whoa. Tho faster the horse goes the tighter you must hold on, and the louder you must "holler. If you are from New York or Phila delphia, you will shorten the stirrups until your knees are on a level with your chin. Then as you ride you will rise to your feet and stand in the atti tude of a man peering over a fenco to look for his dog,. and then suddenly full in the saddlu like a man who has stepped on a bunana peel. This is tho knglisu school. It is hard on tho horse but is considered very graceful. A man can not wear false tooth, however, and ride in this manner. IllMuarrk'n Nuiirmtltlun.'

The growth and development of Texas cannot lie exaggerated, i on Worth eiirht vears ago contained bnt 800 inhabitants: in 1NH0, '',00 and .to-day, Hi.oOii, a perfect sys toni of water-works, street railroads and gas. Sewer.tsp is being built, tho streets graded and iiiacadumied; a fine opera-house is in process of construc tion, ond every thing that goes to ni'ike np a city, except tho hotels. The Lord have mercv upon tho man that has to contribute" S3 jier day to the hotels of Port orth, especially tho l.l raso, Fifteen cents would be extravagant, Whv some live hotel man has not found this place before ih a mystery, as the arrivals during lost December were over 9,000 as shown by the hotel registers. This city has a numler of large wholesale houses, one grocery house last year having sold over $1,000,000 worth of goods. II some un foreseen circumstance does not check the growth of Fort Worth, it will soon rank as a city of 25,000 to 50,000 inhab itants. The future city of Texas is Dallas. Containing a population of 10,000 in 1880, without effort apparently upon the part of her citizens, she has grown to be a prosperous city of 25, 000, and is going right ahead. Dallas is doing more than four times the busi ness of any city of her size in the north. There are great opportunities here for men of energy and capital. What Texas needs is more corn, less cotton, more hogs and better cattle. The crops this year in northern Texas are good, the acroage of corn is about double and the yield fair. A great many cattle will be fed this winter. The cotton crop is short. The acreage is not more than 33 per cent., and in the southern part of the state the aver age is not over 50 per cent. The loss in the aggregate to tho state on the cotton crop is estimated at $30,000,000. What Texas necdt is northorn enter prise and knowledge. The latter she is last acquiring, and certainly the former will come if only apprised of the op portunities. Why should Texas pay exorbitant prices for corn-fed beef ship ped in refrigerator cars from Kansas City and St. Louis? Why should she ship her cattle alive to St. Louis, losing 100 pounds on each bead and 1 cent in the price, when she can slaughter them at home and ship two car loads in one ? Why should Texas bo dependent on the north for, bacon and lard when hogs grow and fatten themselves here? Why should Texas be dependent on the north for flour when she should have a surplus of millions of bushels of wheat? These questions will soon be solved, and the men to take the step in advance will reap a rich reward. The American Hin-Porket. The "bip-pockot" in American-made trousers gives a wrong impression abroad, although its use has become very genoral in this country. An Eng lishman, w ho was recently entertaining a company at a table d'hote with his knowiedgo of American customs and manners, declared that every American "man" curried a pistol, and that it was necessary, as life was so insecure there. An American lady said that he waa telling her Bomethir g new of a country where she had always lived. He re plied that all American men had hip-pockets made in their trousers purposely to carry firearms. The lady protested; her husband, three sons and brothers always had hip-pockets mado, but tohercortain knowledge they never carried fire-arms in them. Nor did she know of any American who was a walking arsenal, and she thought fur ther that life in America seemed just as secure as in Europe. "I am amazed," said bo, "to hear your apparently sin cere remarks, but I cannot agree with you. Severui years ago, when I was on the Laramie plains in the states, trav eling for pleasure, some road agents forced our party at tho point of a pistol to hold up both hands. They then emp tied our pockets." The lady assured him that very few of our leading mou are engaged in tho road agent industry, and that fow of the others are loaded. Another false idea is that of the so called "American duel." I never heard of the misnamed "American duel" until I came to this countrv, and have been greatly ridiculed therefor. "Why," said a gentleman, "is it possible you are an American and have grown up in ignorance of such a famed practice? Instead of shooting at each other the principals draw lots while nlone to gether. Whoever gets the fatal num ber must take his own life within a year. Neither must tell of it, and tho suicide leaves no explanation of his act." The Lj iiii; llaslnrn Overdone. An agnostic is, therefore, the legiti mate product of a meudacious auo. He has boon swindled until he distrusts his grandmother. Boro a hole in the ground with your caue and set your dog to digging there for game and ho will dig tremeudously in the first ex- jMriment; on a second be will dig a little but with less zeal and hope; but when atKHit the third time you call his attention to a possible rat in the cane mado bole, he will look at the hole and then at yon, and then w ill lie down on the cool, green grass iu philosophic peace, lou have made vour doe a skeptic. Thus our times have over done tho lying business, and there are a few millions of persons w ho do not reM)se any confidence iu anything or body uot well backed np by collaterals. Ornamental Teeth. The teeth, we are told, rarelv escape beautifying among the negroes of equatorial Africa; for they file the edges into notches, in some cases, until they resemble tho serrations in a saw. The Africans, however, are excelled by tho Malays in their artistic treatment of the teeth ; for not only do they stain them black, but tho hitter file them into fantastic shapes. And in Borneo an cUUorate proctss is adopted; tho front surface of each tooth Wing drilled in the centre, and a round or stai shiqH'd knob of brass inserted in the hole. These knobs aro kept bright by tho ac tion of tho lip, aud are supposed to bo highly attractive. CTBBEHT EVENTS. AImtIh'cii, Ala., is to have a Mormon church.

The "Tip" Xulsance, The tip tax is a formidablo figure in daily expenses and annoyances in this city. That must be paid, though rent and doctor's bills languish. If it wn t paid promptly, and with an appearance of cheerful "acquiescence, you cant move on. It is an English importation which has grown to overpowering pro portions. When yon tip a woiter you don't pay him for what he has done for you. The mnu who employs him does that. You give him a coin as the tribute exacted bv inferiority of its bettors. It is tariff levied upon "superior position. In some lll-detined way it is supposed to comer honor on the giver, and in an unmis takable way it degrades the receiver. That feature of the transaction, how ever, disturbs not the waiter. He wants his tip and will h-.ve it. regard less of ultimate results. And he knows exactly how to get it, too. He con trives to make the guest understand that he expects it : that it is a part of the programme w hich, if omitted, would leave him, the guest, no sell-respect at all. r Vol Inn-nliish does all this without swerving a hair's breadth from the strictest outward decorum. lie says nothing on the subject, of course. He m'nmlv makes his face, his manner, bis attitudes, and bis voice convey his wishes, mere is no mistaking mo sig nificance of the language he employs. The strongest man becomes helpless under this treatment, and yields in spite of a thousand resolutions to discourage tli wlioln exasneratinir business. The circle addicted to levying tips is constantly increasing. Porters, table- waiters, messengers, baggage-wiieeiers, janitors, aud all orders of servitors who are without pride, belong to the tip receiving fraternity; but the table waiter leads off. He is the most skilled tip-getter. He can reduce the most olnlurate to subjection. Only those who never expect to return to the dining-room over which he presides escape him. Even the female waiter lias picked np a little of the art of tip-compelling. She serves in bakeries, dairies and less pretentious places than docs the grandiose creature who poses in swell dining-rooms, and is more reasonaoio in her demands, but she is not to be put off.

Love at Second Night. Lady Sarah Cadogan, daughter of illiam, hrst Earl Cadogan, was mar ried at the age of 13 to Charles, second duke of Richmond, aged 18. It is said that his marriage was a bargain to can cel a gambling debt between their par ents, Lady Sarah being a co-heiress. The young Lord March was brought from college, and the little lady from the nursery, for the ceremony, which took place at Tho Hague. The bride w as amazed and silent, but the husband exclaimed: "Surely you are not going to mnrrv me to that dowdv !" Married, however, he was, and his tutor theu took him off to the continent and the bride went back to her mother. Three years after Lord March returned from his travels, but, having such a disagreeable recollection of bis wife, was in no hurry to join her, and went the first evening to the the atre. There he saw a lady so beautiful that ho asked who she was. "The reigning toast, Lady March," was the answer ho got. He hastened to claim her, and their lifelong affection for each other is much commented upon by contemporaneous writers indeed, it is said that the duchess, who sunived him a year, died of grief.
