Suddenly the front doom wen thrown open with a bang, and through tbe aperture emerged a young gentleman who but a few hours before bad deiarted lu ail tbe glory of spruce clothe and line linen. Now bis bat was on tbe back of bis bead, bis clothing was disordered, and there was a drunken leer upon his handsome face. As he staggered to ward tbe desk it was uoliced mat be wa dragging behind him one of those dressed model whirl) the clothiers of.the present day exhibit lu the (lout of their stores.

His Importunities become wearisome, but be is not in the least non- plussed, and when friends fail to respond to J his cull he seeks the companionship of tlx I general loungers about the bar. I One of these generous individuals was seen ! the other evening on Clark street The horn j was late, and tbe Jolly old gentleman w:it j seated on the sidewalk with a demijohn un der his arm aud a well filled glass in his rig!:' ! bund.

Considerable effor; was needed to arouse him, and when h dually gniued his consciousness he looke.: helplessly around him and murmured: "Purty good bed, but the feathers stick t a fellow's clothes." SEEING THE KLEPHAST. There is a young gentleman in the city whoso fancies, while under the influence i! liquor, are most peculiar. He is an ardent lover of animals and his pets comprise ai most the entireauimol kingdom. He sel lor. goes to excess in drinking but when he doe there is no limit to his bibulations. When i:. the last stages his younger days invariable return to him, and be imagines himself the small boy at the circus. The elephant ap lieai-s to be his chief source of delight, and instead of snakes, and scorpions, and crawl ing tilings, his dreams are peopled with the 3Krtive elephant, and he babbles on e hai'py as a child with iu first bag of peanut!. beneath the canvas or tne peripatetic me'.agerie. Then there is the picturesquely rapid youn; man. Bustling aud active while sober, hi ruling passion while under tbe influence o: liquor is to keep things moving. A case o! this kind occurred a few evenings ago when one of these rapidly inclined inebriates en tered a railroad depot to wait for a train and carry bim to bis suburban home. Be coming tired of the monotony of the sit uation, be wandered aown me iracx, anil finding a pufllng engine without its usual occupation of engineer and fireman, he reck lessly stepped aboard and pulled the throttle wide open. In an instant the engine began to move and tbe rapid young man, in thorough affright, leaped from the cab, us taming serious injuries. The wild engim sped upon IU way, and bad it not been for the coolness and foresight of a ewitchman a terrible disaster mght have occurred. A it was, the rapid young man was arrested for his freak, and now in a dungeon cell as asseru that John Barleycorn and be art sworn enemies. "Drunkenness may be picturesque," said oneold scager,"butssforme, I'll Uke mine in tome other shape. When it comes to ringing your own door bell and asking your' wife to come down and pick you out of a crowd who don't know their own names, then iu tin to quit, and 1 don't want any more pictur esque in mine." Altogether It may safely be argued thai the safest, pleasantert and easiest way of en joying life is to discreetly avoid the pictur esque, tbe unique or tbe decidedly unusual drunk.

Although a writer of grace and fori, Mr. Oruhain never made any pretence to bo, strictly speaking, a literary mau, but he wa a generous employer, and In many Instance wa also Uie discoverer of our best known and grcntit writer. Ho was the first Amer ican publisher to pay rwqieetabl prions for literary ware. Bayard Taylor, whose earli est pnenu he published, wa amazed wbeu Urahain tendered bim a J5 check for two KNirly prized poetic effusion.

"How much do you want for each toryr asked Oraham. "One hundred dollar in advance," was Cooper' reply, Miiising before utterlug the two last words, as if he thought tbey would end the matter.

Clothespins are made in the IuiiiIkt region. They are usually made of white ash, some times of beach,' black and white birch and liiaplo.

The sticks are placed under another saw, and cut into the required lengths. Next the turner takes n bund at them and from here they go to the slotting machine. They are plm-ed in troughs by the oHi'ntor, the nnchino Dirking them up and slotting them. They nre then placed in a revolving pi drier going thenco to the polishing cylinder and then to the pucker.
