When Ben Jonson, the dramatist, was introduced to a nobleman, the peer was so struck with his homely appearance that he exclaimed, " What I you are Ben Jonson ? \Vhcy you look as if you could not say ' boo I to a goose." " Boo I' ex claimed the witty dramatist., turning to the peer and making his bow. " He's a peg too low," " Taking a man down a peg," may be traced to the peg ging, or marking the drinking cup, which wits introduced by St. Dunstan to oheck the intnimperato habits of the times, by preventing one mau from tak ing a larger draught than his colmpan ions. But the device proved the means of increasing the evil it was intended to remedy ; for the most abstemious were retluired to drink precisely to a peg or pin, whether they could soberly take such a quantity or not. " Blue lien" is the nickname given to the State of Delaware. The origin of the term is this : Capt. Caldwell, an officer of the First Delaware regiment in the Revolution, wias very fond of game cocks, but maintained that no cock wits truly game unless its mother was a blue lion." As lie was an exceedingly popular man, his regiment was called " The Blue Hen," and the terml was af terward transferred to the State and its inhabitants. There's many a slip 'Tweern the cup and lip. The ancient Greeks had the following story as to the origin of this proverb: A King of Thrace had planted ita vine 'trd, when one of his slaves, whom he had mitch oppr'esised in that very work, prophesied that he should never taste oi the wine produced in it. The monarch disregarded the prediction, and when at an entertainment lie held a glassful of his own wino, mado from the grapes ofi that vineyard, he sent for the slave, and asked him wl.t lie thought of his prophecy now. To which the other re plied, ' Many things fall out between the cup and the lip," and s:'arcely had he delivered this singular response be fore the news was brought that a mons trous boar was laying waste the favorite vineyard. The king, in a rage, put down the cup which lie held in his hand, and hurried out with his pouple to at tack the boar, but being too) cager the boar rushed upon him and killed hiim without his havinu tasted of the wine.

A Leper. Salom i oonsternation over a case of leprosy. The victim is Charles Derby, who oontracted the disease in the Haw allan Islands. Excluded from the coun try, he went to San Francisoo and finally to Salem. His first knowledge of the fact that he was a leper came with the discovery of a blotch of perhaps the size of a ten cent piece on his left tem ple. Slowly, but surely. has his case grown worso, until now there is a large scale on either side of the nose, which organ is much enlarged by the disease, wuiile the ears are swollen, one foot is badly infected about the toes, and one hand has been attacked. Small tuber cles appear on different parts of the face. In rubbing his hands together as one would do in washing a perfect shower of white particles falls to the floor. His voice is hoarse and his throat sore. One eye is in a frightful condition, and the other, from which the vision has not entirely fled, is fast following the course of its companion. And yet he suffers no pain. The numbness characteristic of leprosy holds perfectly in his case as in every other. Thrust a pin, a needle or a sharp knife into his hands, feet or face and he fools it not. Even his eyes cause him no inconvenience, save the horrible thought constantly in his mind that the light of day will to him very soon be shut out forever. le eats all kinds of food with a relish, sleeps soundly and well, moves about with comparittvely little inconvenience, and bathes, and to some extent takes care of his diseased limbs without out side help. Great care is used by his attendant to see that none of the itten. sials or clothing used by the leper are handled by other persons, as inoculation inight occur, in which case the party or parties .so inoculated would inevitably become victims of the frightful disease. Aside from methods such as those, there is thought by authoritio.i on the subject to be no danger of a communication of the disease from one person to another. In fact, at Honolulu, where the senten ces of banishment are so surely and so impartially carried out., there scents to be no hesitation on the part of any per. son to converse with a leper, as long as care is taken not to com in contact with the person of the tfortu nate. Banishment becomes necessary from the fact that whatever the loper uses or handles is liable to convey the contagion through an abrasion of the skin or otherwise to the next part.v handling the article. Conlequently if it is doce tied to keep this Salem leper in that city, a person will be engaged for the special purpose of taking care of I)orby, and of everything that he uses. Perhaps an effort will be made, how. ever, to sceure his admission to a colonj of lepers in New lBrunswick, where he could receive better attention thar almost anywhere else.-- pringicld (Mass.)

The dress is a coat of dark cash mere or cloth, dark blue or chocolate colored. It is square cuit behind, fitting very closely into the back, rountd collar and small facings, and very high in the neck and buttoned with cut steel or sil ver buttons. From the waist the coat opens, slanting off so as to show a ion g satin waistcoat, with deep flaps and pockets.

The family favorite whose misfortune. have affored an opportunity to observe the workings of Instinat under difl. oulties Is a noble specimen of the genus Felia.. "Dido" is his name-given for simple euphony, without regard to gen der. During the four years of his life he has never been known to'do anything wrong, unless it' be to fight most des 'perately against all feline intruders. In some one of his many encounters, Dido met with an injury in one of his feet that made a surgical operation neces sary, from which he recovered, but shortly afterward went totally blind. A cataract was formed over each eye, by which, as repeated experiments proved, vision was thoroughly obscured. This calamity caie on suddenly, and p;aced the cat in circumstances not provided for by the ordinary gifts of in stinct. What to do with himself was plainly a problem hard to be solved. Io would sit and mow most piteously, as if bemoaning his condition; and when he attempted to move about, he met with all the mishaps that the reater will be likely to imagine. Ile ran against walls, fell down stairs, stumbled over sticks, and when once on the top rail of the fence he would traverse its entire length seeking in vain for a safe jumping-off place. On being called, he would run about bewildered, as if not knowing whence the voice came nor whither he should go to find the one calling. In short, l)ido's life seemed hardly worth living, and we were scrt ously plotting his death, when the cat himself clearly concluded that he must make his other senses atone for the loss of sight. It was very curious to watch his ex periments. One of the first of those was concerning the art of going down stairs. Instead of pawing the air, as he had been doing on reaching the top stop, he went to one side till he felt the banisters touch his whiskers, and then, guided thus, he would ~ descend safely and at full speed, turning into the hall on gaining the last step. One by one he mado each familiar path a study, do termined the exact location of each door, explored anow all his own haunts, and soomed bravely resolved to begin life over again. The result was so un expectedly successful that we were de ceived into the notion that sight had been restored. But by placing any ob stacle in the path, and then calling him eagerly to his customary feeding placo, it was evident that lie was entirely blind, for he would run with full forco against the box or other obstruction, and thon, for time afterward, he would proceed with renewed caution. )ido's "voice is still for war," and his blindness does not make him any less successful in his duels with in trudors. IHe even goes abroad in quest of adventures, and comes safely home again. His value as a mouser (loes not seem to be in the least diminished. 0 ne of my experiments as to his capacity in this direction came near costing me dear. I had heard the gnawing of a rat in an old closet where there lay a quan tity of newspapers. Here it was decided to leave Dido over night, and while ar ranging the papers for the purpose, my hand was suddenly caught by the claws and teeth of what at the moment -eemed .like a small tiger. Poor Dido ! H really looked ashamed of his blunder in mistaking my hand for his anticipated Victim. Fortunately the papers served as a shield, or the injury minlicted might have been more serious. I may add that, on opening the closet the next morning, there was l)ido mounting gniardi over a slain rat a-s big a-s ever spoiled good pIrovisionis or triedl a housekeeper's temper.

A dtrloins Jest. During the past winter threo citizens of the Bohemian town of Neustadt met every night for social purposei in the public room of tha best inn. The friends were the Judge of the District Court, Franz Rychilk, Kapelneister Bauer, and a merchant, named Kohn. One evening in merry humor they swore a common oath to remain united in death as well as in life, and each mem ber of the guild pledged himself that if one of the brotherhood died he would follow him into the invisible world with in the space of fourteen days at the longest. The landlord, who took the oath as a more joke, wished to make a fourth in the league, which was granted. As all the men were under middle age and in sound health, they felt secure that the first death was a long way off. About six weeks ago, however, the Dis trict Judge, Rychilk, died in his sleep from the poisonous fumes of a defective stove in his bed-room. The three sur vivors were deeply grieved, but none of them regarded the oath made under the influence of wine as anything more serious than an evening's passing jost. Twelve days later, however, the mer' chant, Kohn, was seized with inflamma tion of the lungs, from a neglected cold, and in two days he was dead. A horror laid hold upon the two survivors, and the kapelmeister, Rlauer, took to his bed, lay ill for several days, and died on the tenth dlay. At last accounts tho lantlort was still in good health, though ter'ribly oppressed hy the fear' of sudden death.-- North Germ)an Gzette. Thme First Mornmon Marriage.

In defiance of polygamy the examples of Abraham, Isaao, Jacob, Moses, Joshtua, David andI Solomon are cited, In oor roboration of the " Book of Mormon " we are pointed to the burned cities of Palonvue and Uxmal, in Central America; to the mounds in the Mississippi valley, and to other well known vestiges of a pre historio race. When a good Mormon (lies who "' has lived up to his religion," and has had a dozen or two wives and fifty or sixty children, he does not be come a mere angel, like an ordianary Christian-he becomes a godl, with a world of his own to reign over. A Mor 'aan wife who o)poses the p)olygamouls marriage of her husband goos to hell and is " destrolyed." A Mormon who obecys the mandates of the church in most respects, but neglects to "go into polygamy," becomes a mero angel, w1ho must be a kind of celestial servant to the gods and other angels. His wife must sh are the sanme humiliating fate. The doctrine of "' blood( atonement '' is simply this :If anm apostate's throat is cut, the spilling of his blood upon the ground will save his soul. I he is left to dio a natural dleath his soul will go to hell. A great many apostato souls have been saved in Utah. Thia, in substance, is the Mormon religion. Odd Nanmes Among the Coal Miners.
