Dan Hook (the late Dean of Chiches

Bishop Wilberforce's favorite witticisms.
"What articles of ladies' attire," the

A woman took her little one in her
arms to hear a famous preacher. The
loud voice from the platform awoke the
child and made it cry, and its mother got
up and was leaving the hall when the
minister stopped her by saying, "My good
woman, don't go away; the baby doesn't
disturb me."
"It isn't for that, sir, I leave," she re
plied, with a perfect unconsciousness of
sarcasm; "it's you disturb the baby."
An old pioneer, who was somethiDg of
a fatalist, lived in a region iufested by
Indians. He always took his gun with
him, and once, finding that some of his
family had taken it out, he would not go
without it. His friends rallied him, say
ing that there was no danger of the In
dians, as he would not die till hfs time
came anyhow. "Yes," said old Leather
stocking; "but suppose I was to meet an
Indian, and his time was come, it
wouldn't do not to have my gun."
A clergyman, having been inducted
into a living in Kent, took occasion dur
ing his first sermon to introduce the
word "optics." At the conclusion of the
service a farmer who was present thanked
him for his discourse, but intimated that
he had made a mistake in one word, soft
ening down the severity of the criticism
by saying, "We all know very well, sir,
what you meant. On the clergyman
making further inquiries about the word,
the farmer replied: "What you call hop
sticks, in this part of the country we call
hoppoles.
"Ukcxe" Somebody's Yisit to ax Art
Gallery. He was walking through an
art nailery in the city, when a stranger
accosted him with the query:
"Will you tell me, sir, is this a loan
collection ?"
"Wall," was the reply "I rather guess
it is, for I see it is off here all 'lone by
itself."
The stranger looked bewildered, while
the old man, lifting his eyes from the
catalogue, remarked to those around
him:

A Frontier Bulldozer.
When I applied for the position of
city editor of the daily Scalper, a frontier
paper of some pretense, the man at the
helm simply asked my name, age and
weight, and what I knew about the busi
ness, and he employed me.
The proprietor is not hard to suit," I
said to the foreman that evening, as I be
gan business.
"Vhy do you think so?"
"Because he engaged me at once," I re
plied.
1 he foreman laughed.
"That's because he thinks you won't
last more than a day or two. They nev
er do."
"Who?"
"The editors get cleaned out, you
know; knocked in the head, shot to
pieces busted. Some of 'em leave the
first day, others hang on a w eek or more,
then we carry 'em to the hill you see
over there and plant 'em. There's a row
of local editors over there halt a mue
g, and all died with their boots on.'
Truly this was not very encouraging,
but I did not believe half of it.
"It's a fact though." declared the fore
man " hn tnn am c liKe oiucr piaca,

Joe Hodges killed them
"Joe Hodges?"
"Yes."
"Who is he. nray?"
"Tha town bull v : the masher of the
village; a genuiue, double-back-actiou
rough. Better not say anything about
Joe, or he'll waltz in here and mash you
into a icily in no time. Very particular
is Joe about newspaper notices."
"Then he shall have none in this pa
per," I said determindly.
"Oh, but that won't do," exclaimed
the foreman. "Joe is that sort of a fel
low that won't be slighted nothing he
hates so as neglect; and then he is mixed
up in every row, so you'll have to men
tion him. In fact, Joe Hodges is on
the fight worse than any man I ever
knew."
'Copy !" yelled out one of the. com
positors. The forman cleaned the hook and
rushed into the composing room.
"I'll fix Joe Hodges," 1 said to my
self, when the man had gone. "The first
blow is the best, so here goe3."
I seized my pencil and wrote a little
notice comparing Joe Hodges with a
mule, and saying that, according to all
accounts, he was a drunken rascal, unfit
for human association.
The notice was put in type at once,
and appeared in the paper the next morn
ing along with the other locals, and that
afternoon Joe Hodges called.
I was busy writing when he came in,
and I looked up when a hurried glance
told me who he was.
A short, heavy-set, swarthy, lov
browed rascal, with black hair and eyes,
ad red shirt that was Joe Hodges.
"Take a seat," I said, and we t on
writing.
In a half drunken way
into a chair.
"Joe Hodges."
I dashed it down on a
blank paper oa the table
he floundered
broad piece of
"How old are your'
"Forty-two," with a surprised look.
I dashed that down in tbe same way.
"Your birth-place?"
"Missouri," with still more surprise.
I put it down, and then reached for a
heavy revolver, which I cocked and laid
on the table.
"Are you married?" I asked with a
quiet look at the astonished man.
"No," he replied staring wildly.
I put the answer down.
"What is your business?"
A blacksmith."
I made a record of the fact, and then
looked up to ask another question when
I saw that the bully had risen and
stood glaring at me, with his baud on
the door.
"What in thunder are you writing?"
he yelled, his face almost purple.
"An obituary."
"Whose!"
"Yours."
He may have had urgent business
down on the street; I do not know; at
any rate he suddenly withdrew from my
presence and never bothered me any
more. Selected.
Modern Railroad Travel. The En

authentic instances of high railway
speeds" on record. Brunei with the Cour

Mr. P. Sterling, of the Great Northern.
took, two years ago, sixteen carriages 15
miles in thirteen minutes, equal to 75
miles an hour. The "Great Britain,"
"I ,ir.l F t, lolon" Ulrnn TVi L-o "
broad gauge engines on tbe Great West
ern Railway, have each run with four or
five carriages from Paddiugtou to Did
cot in forty-seven aud a half minutes,
equal to 66 milc3 an hour. The new
Midland coupled express engines, run
ning in the usual course, have bsen timed
68, 70 and 72 miles an hour. The 10
a. m. express on the Great Northern from
Leeds has been timed, and found mile
after mile at the rate of a mile in fifty
two seconds, or C9-2 miles hu hour. The
engines used are Mr. Stirling's outside

The Flying Machine. The curiosity
in the way of invention and mechanism
was referred to in our last week's issue,
and this week it has been on public ex
hibition in this city. Sj far as its
merits have been investigated by com
petent judges, they admit that the new
invention practically answers the re
quirements of the problem. It is not
claimed for the machine that it can make
headway against opposing currents; but,
beiui? able at the will of tho operator to
ascend above and descend beiow these
hostile currents, there would seem to be
no difficulty about its being brought
into the favorable one in the hands of a
capable navigator. So that the prophe
sies that have for many years been made
in ridicule of this and similar possibili
ties promise, to appearances, to come to
naught. Terily we do live in times that
are developing the most remarkable re
sults of every kind. Mass. Ploughman.
Let him who gropes painfully in dark

second duty will already become clearer.
Thomat Carlyle.
Old-Time Gentlemen.
Although we cherish a conservative re
spect fur ihe old-fashioned polished gen-
. . t a 1 1
tleman, we have a lurking suspicion mat
he was sometimes a rather artilicial crea
ture. Polished he certainly was, but
with a polish lhat wore oil with a very
little rough usage, and wmcii out tniniy
glossed over an iuuer man, almost guilt-
lets ot rehnemeut. lie couia ue very po
lite, but he could also be very blasphe
mous, and if he was occasionally poeti
cal, he was often indecent. We are far
from maintaining that some past periods
of English history have not been more
distingaiohed lor courtesy thau our own;
but nueu we hear people talk or the
times of George IV. and Beau Brummel
as the millennium of British politeness,
we feel that either their memory or their
judgment must be greatly at fault. There
are other epochs which might claim, at
the least, an equal distinction. Iu these
davs it is unlortunately true that, even
in the highest society, there is too little
courtesy either at home or away from it;
but that does not prove the early part of
the present century to have been the
golden age of English manners. Our
own is an age of moderation. We are
expected to be moderate in religion, iu
politics, and in everything else; and we
have a noble example of moderation set
us by the youth of the present day iu the
indulgence of courtesy. A very cour
teous man is how considered a bore in
gay and a humbug iu grave society
What a miserable thing is civility in com
parisou with the charms of chalf, and
now insincere is he who treats ladies with
deferential politeness! Such appears to
be the current creed, though there may
be a certain number ot nonconformists
In our opinion the best tc?t of the dif-
feieuce between courtesy and humbug
will be found in the observation of home
life.
Humbug may assume the form of
courtesy, but it cannot stand the strain of
continual use, whereas true courtesy be
comes more developed by constant habit,
and thrives best iu its native Siil. Peo
ple often confuse courtesy with humbug,
because they imagine that it necessarily
implies personal esteem and respect.
Where, therefore, they observe a defcren
tial manner in the absence of a personal
esteem and respect, tl.ey immediately
suspect humbug. In this they are mis
taken. A judge may be perfectly cour
teous to the murderer whom he is sen
tencing to be hanged, and the head mas
ter of a public tchool may show formal
politeness to his pupil in the disciplinary
interviews he has with him "alter
school," but neither functionary would
thereby lay himself opeu to the charge of
being a humbug. Then there are persons
who are so utterly devoid of any innate
courtesy that they are iucredulous of its
existence iu others; and when they meet
with it they mistake it lor humbug,
It must be admitted, however, that
there are occasions when skepticism is
quite legitimate. For instance, when we
see ostentatious displays of allection and
respect on the part ot husbands towards
their wive, or parents towards their chil
dren, in public, we are apt to form our
own opinion of their private life, shrewd
ly suspecting that this prolusion of good
things is not an everyday alfair. We
iccouimend to the clergy "rude papas
as a subject of a Course of sermons; "nag
ging mammas" might lorm a second se
ries. To treat your children like ser
vants or retrievers, whose highest duty is
to fetch and carry, is not the surest means
of indoctrinating them with the virtue of
courtesy. It may be considered a super-
anuated idea that husbands and wives
ought to treat each other with ayy sem
blance of ceremony, but we are old-
fashioned enough to fancy that the oppo
site tendency is carried rather to an ex
cess just at present. It may Ue a preju
dice to think that there can possibly be
anything objectionable in smoking cig
arettes in lauies' drawing-rooms aud bou
doirs; but there always will be some peo
ple who lag behind their times
There is surely a sufficiently wide mar
gin between treating a husband as an utter
atrauger aud calling him a beast; but it
seems to narrow for some ladies to dis
cover. Among brothers aud sisters a lit
tle harmless banter is perltctly admissa-
ble. aud even perhaps desirable; but a
family whose members are always snap
ping at each other iu the style at present
approved as clever, both in hction and in
reality, can scarcely be upheld as a mod
el of courtesv at home. Both among
brothers and sisters and husbands and
wives a great deal of talk which bi
with chalf ends iu rudeness. In tociety
conventional politeness sets certain limits
to repartee, but at home there are no such
barriers.
In private life, when the more
refined weapons of couveisatioual
dis-
putc rail, the combatants are apt to re
sort to vulgar personal ubuse. Servants
roa.d sometimes tell curious stories
uimnt Hm r-iMirtPati nf their pin nlovers at
i,m r rn,ar tfLjr w.nt of it. There
are ladies renowned lor their cnarming
manners in society who use their maids
as safety-valves for the innate rudenes
which they contrive to repress and con
ceal in public. Doubtless they are hurt
when, in dressing their heads, their maids
drag the hair with the brush; but that is
no excuse for pretty mouths permitting
ugly words to escape from them. ihe
master may be very fond of his horse,
but after sneaking to the animal in tones
of the gentlest allection, it is scarcely the
sign ot a coi teous gentleman to swear at
the groom because his stirrup-leathers are
too short.
Courtesy at home, like other virtues,
cannot be practiced too constantly, or be
too well fortified by undeviatiug Habit
Even when a man is alone, it is not well
to throw atide loo freely the restraints
and observances of social ussire. We do
not hesitate to say that no one can, when
alone, discard all customary forms and
ceremonies in dres?, meals, or the like,
without incurring danger of Belf
desrtedation. A man who neglects his
toilet when he is going to spend the even
ing iu his own society is decidely want
ing in self-respect, aud the bachelor who
only makes his rooms comtortable and
attractive when he expects visitors must
be pronounced unworthy of promotion to
the more dignified state ot lite to wbicn
all bachelors presumably aspire. Quar

Walter's Patent Fruit Dryer and
Preserver.
An invention that we confidently believe
is destined to work an entire revolution in
the fruit trade of the Pacific States. This
dryer is the result of careful research and
experiment, and its production is a machine
that accomplishes all the most enthusiastic
iruit raiser could desire, it not only dries
the fruit more cheaply and rapidly than any
dryer iu use, but It dries and preserves the
fruit with all its richness and flavor. It is
the only dryer iu the world that can produce
raisins equal to the sun dried fruit of Europe.
mis dryer Is so constructed that all the fruit
is exposed to exactly the same deim-e of
heat; it will usa any kind of fuel, and less
than any other; is simple in its construction,
and can be worked by man woman or child.
It may be set up in the orchard or vineyard,
as may bo required, and needs no building
dri iuac luruisnea with the machine. It is
compact and portable, can be taken apart
ana movea as readily as a load of lumber,
from place .to place, hereby enabling the
iruti grower at, a great distance from market
to save all the fruit which otherwise might
be left to decay and be loat.
