Americans Abroad. TUB PUKV OF EXTORTIONATE LAND Blade rwiuarks that many Americans, desiring to show their disregard for money, have been doing it so long and so extensively that they have made it inconvenient for those of limited purses to get nl ng decently. All over the continent they have spoiled the servants and the hotel keepers, and caused prices to be advanced about fifty pet cent, on all their countrymen. A ho'.ol keeper looks upon an American as aetrcasure chest, out of which he is at liberty to extract as much money as possible, and he is uot backward in making the at tempt. And when an American endeav ON to travel economically he is subject to a variety ol slights and annoyances, and will occasionally be tobt that he does j not behave as 1 ibcrully as his respectable countrymen- London usod to be better in this respect, than Paris or Rome, but it is now quite as bad. The hotels and lodging houses put on nil sorts of ' extras' and outrageous charges, nnd frequently the mnungers do not hesitate to lie tin blushingiy in order to extort money from their patrons. I am quartered at a respectable ho el, overlooking Convent (jard.n, it was recommended to me ns a comfortable house, and one where the ? the charges would be just and correct. I called for my bill yesterday, and told endeavored to iuducc me to let it stand until I was ready to go away, but 1 insisted, nnd the bill was brought. | There were extra charges for things ] which 1 knew I novcr had, and they had put on an extra shilling for en:rh ' moruiug's breakfast, alter telling me that I could order anything on the bill of fare. 'I hey charge three pence a day I'm stationery, and make every man pay lor it whether ho writes a let er or not I protested, but it was no u-e. It was their custom, they said to charge three pence a day for stationery, and a man might use as much as he" wished. Up to that time I had not used a sheet oi their paper, but heoeeferth they cannot complain that I neglected it. I find it makes good cigar lights, and when I go away from hero it will fill up the loose corners of my trunk very neatly. If they luakctanythiug out of me ou the stationery swindel, they must bo wider awake than I think they are. I paid their bill under protest, nnd rcmaiued. Why didn't you go away! somebody will a.*k- Whut is the use in moving ? I hare had a row with them, and though I couldn't get that bill reduced I con vinced them they would not make much by trying it on again. I gave warning that I would not pay for another "extra nud have been careful to havo none for which anv charge could bo made. If I went to unot .er hotel I should have the I same row t' go through over again. They are all alike in this respect nnd will oheat without compunction ci con science I am in the position of tho railway superintendent who rcfuso l to discharge a conductor known to be dishonest, ou the ground that the man had already bought a watch, diamond pin, horse, nud other things out of his stealings, while the uew man, to take his place, would be obliged to equip himself in the s?mo wuy. It is better to bear tho ills wo have than fly to oth ers that may be worse, and are certain to be just as bad.

Might furlongs make a mile-?Tho Grand Rapids Times says there is a farm er near Tackson who has a mile of yejing ones. He has four boys and four girls. His name is "Furlong." LORD. A writer from London to the Toledo them T preferred to pay Negro Juries, A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has been in the Red River Country, where the black population so largely preponderates, and the juries are selected from both races. He says : "I asked a white man who had had con siderable jury experience, how it worked. He said "it worked tolerably well after a fellow got used to it.' "Did it take much effort to get used to it?" I asked. "Yes, sir, you bet it was the con foundest hardest thing to get used to ever you heard of* I haven't got used to the smell yet. Of n hot day iu n close room with a lot of fat niggers sitting on a case, it's pretty hard. Rut we have to submit, for if some of us white peo pie didu't go on tho jury it would be all niggers, and that would be ruin." "How are the juries divided f" I asked. "Oh, just as it happens, so there is some of each race on every jury. Some times there'b only two niggers, some times four, sometimes six, and ho met mie ten." "How are they about agreeing upon verdicts?" "They are better than tho whites. The niggcis never hang a jury. When I am on a jnjy with them, and the suit is on an account, for instance, I just figure up the amount, and say : 'Boya. here, Jones owes Smith so much and so much and so much, giving tho figures much, giving figures, which leaves Jones behind with Smith so much, and that's what we must ronder judgment for*" They all agree to it, although they don't know any more about figures than a hog does about theology," "I'll say this for the niggers," he continued, "tho? are not stubborn on a jury at nil; but as far as my experience goes, they aro always anxious to do the right thing between man and man " "When their own color is involved how is it ?" I asked. "Just the same. They do not shield their own people*. They'll hang a nig gcr for murdor just as quick as they will a white man, and a good deal quickor. Sometimes I think they arc a little too hard ou their own race. Rut I suppose they fear we will charge thorn with par tiality. On the whole, a nigger makes a pretty fair juryman," "Was there no great opposition to his serving in that capacity ?" "Oh, yes, thunder was to pay for a while. Whito men said they wouldn't sit with a niggor, they would die first, and all that, but they had to swullow the dose, and have now got used to it. There is nothing like being used to any thing is there ? Masquerading iu Roy's Clothes* A correspondent at Little Rook, Ark. writes : That a marshal has just return ed from Allenville, Mo., having in his custody a young girl named Mollie Sherwood, who for intervals during the past two years hss been passing for a boy undej the namo of Rill Henderson . About two years age her parents resid ing iu Cape Girnrdeau, died. She was then thirteen years old, nud her two brothers placed her out to work in a bo'el at Allenvil e. Becoming tired of this employment, she donned boy's cloth ing, called herself Rill Henderson, and applied for and received a situation ns post boy to carry the mail to nnd from Allenvillo. For one year, unsuspected she fulfilled the fuuetions of this post. Then her sex was suspected, and at Allenville she was placed under arrest nnd compelled to wear the female garb After this sho tried working in a hotel as maid servant, but soon tiring of this again resumed tho trousers and worked as a farm hand. Subsequently she came to A gust a, iu this State, as a drover's assistant, and thence went to Jacksouport to work in a livery stable. After a while the man and boys about tho ?Uble, believing her to be a woman began to oall her names, * and, as she says in order to get away from the place she took certain horses belonging to the stablemen and madooff with them. The marshal followed hor and overtook her with the horses at Allenville and arros ted her on a charge of horse stealing. The people there knew her well and were inclined to prevent tho officers from arresting hor. Pistols were drawn od both sides, but fiua,ly the girl went of her own free will with the marshal. She is now in the Jacksonpost jail awaiting trial for horse stealing. Tho girl is a pretty blonde, and during all her vicissitudes her virtue has never been questioned. Some years ago a new file oompany trn* organized at Reading, and the mem hers one evening thought they would hare a little innocent fun at the expense of Hopkins, their president. They de cided to rush round with tho engine to Hopkins, house after dark..to throw up their ladders, pull out their hose, climb on his roof and scare him with the be lief that his dwelling was on fire. Rut the very day Hopkins moved out of the house and a Presbyterian clergyman moved in, without the company being aware of the change. So about eight o'clock they dashed out, and went through all the movements, getting on t he roof and splashing water around and creating a terrific disturbance generally^ A rival company noticing what was going on, also hurried to the scene and. without understanding the joke, attack cd their hose to a plug, smashed in the front windows; and began to empty a two iuch st ream qn the family off* that Presbyterian clergyman. Thoy sqirted into all the rooms, split op the window . shutters with an axe, broke down the front door, ran out the furniture, tors off the shiuglcH, and bawled through trnm pets until tho hitedgirl had convulsions on the kitchen stairs. The first compa ny tried to explain, but the new comers thought on effort was being made to get them out of the way, and a fight ensued and presently firemen wero sliding off tho roof, and pelting down the chimneys and bleeding over the entry carpet, and having boisterous encounters with span ncrs and brass horns on the stairs. And the next morning that Presbyterian di vine aud his family moved out. They baid the place . . .. and sensational for a quiet domestic circle. They waolcd ? house whora there was calmness and peace: where they could have more security for their privanoy nnd pianos, and for their front doors and shingles, aud peace of mind .and window sashes Better Than Whiskey. "Rill Arn" write?; "Gentlemen, them is one thing about drinking. I almost wish ovcry man was a reformed drunk nrd. No man who hasn't drank liquor knows what a luxury cold water is. I have got up in the night in cold weath er after I had been sprccing around, and gone to the well burning up with thirst, feeling liko tho gallows and the grave aud the infernal regions were too good for me, and when I took up the buckot in my hands, nnd with my elbows tromb ling like T had the shaking ague, put the water to my lips, it was tho mostdell cious, satisfying, luxurious draft that ever went down my throat. "I have stood there and drauk until I could drink no more, nnd gone hook to bed thanking God, for the pure inno cent, and cooling beverage, and cursing myself from my inmost forever touching the accursed whisky. In my torture of mind and body I have made vows and promises, and broken them within a day. - Rut if you want to know the luxury of oold water, get drunk and keep at it till you get on tire, nnd then try a bucket lull at the well iu tho middle of the night. You won't want a gourd fall? you'll feel liko the bucket ain't big enough, and when you begin to drink an earthquake couldn't stop yon.' I know a hundred men who will swear te the truth of what I say, but you see it's a thing they dont mean to talk about; it's too humiliating." ???? ? - ? ? ii I Say ?A gentleman who was in the habit of interlarding his discourse with tho expression, "I say," having been in formed by a friend that a certain indi vidual had made some ill natured re marks upon this peculiarity, took the opportunity of addressing bim in the following amusing stylo of rebuke: ul say, sir, I hoar you say 1 say 'I say' at ovory word I say. Now, sir, although I know I say ?I ?y' at ovory word l lay,, still I say, sir, it is not for yea to say I say 'I say' at every word I say/' Husband and wife sailed (torn Derff for Glasgow, en route for Kdinburg, recently, the wife having on her kos* the thirty-third child.
