When he walked down the street the horsc-cars had to leave .(be tracks and travel on the opposite side of the street selected by him for a prome nade. , “He was a bad party, and no mistake. But what I started to tell you was this: An efteminate-iookinx young fellow em ployed ss a traveling salesman foj an east ■frrn botiae reached t<*wu one day. He met 'Silence Jordan, the riproaring terror of the .Mississippi valley, and the terror asked him what his name was. The drummer replied that It was Willie Phillips. A look of Ineffable disgust swept over the entire, physiognomical contour of tha bully • “What are you doing here, sonnyt- growled the hideoiis Wretch. ■ “None of your infernal business!’’ was the astounding reply, and the little drummer at the same moment nonchal- /tntly struck an old-fashioned lucifer match. The crowd assembled stood para lyzed with fear as the gigantic ruffian began to gather himself up for a spring at hie helpl.vss prey. As the flame .spluttered on the end of tho match held by the diminutive drummer he flipped the stick with one of his deli cate lily-white fingers, and a tiny globule of the brimstone shot fairly and sruarely into tho left eye of the ponderous rowdy, who was on the point of sweeping the jjliputian from the face of the earth ", • ".ifioTUEH SPARK OF FIERY BRIMSTONE. “"As the burly bummer clapped both hands upon the optic thnt received the ter rible shock the little drummer flipped the match once more, and another sparse of tho flery brimstone flfcw with merciless (precision slap-dab into the other eye of the.. e urdcrous fiend, who now, mated of eking to devow the puny boy that stood •before him coolly lighting a cigarette, was rolling on the sidewalk writhing in the. most painful agony, yelping with, all the power of his tremendous lungs the wT he endeavored, but futilely, to allay t agonizing misery that was racking his very soul and dethroning his reason itself. I never witnessed a move terrible specta cle in all my varied experience «ss a trav eler and observer of men and things. IJfcis powerful fiamc shivered and swayed, *»d bis ponderous limbs threshed about like unto tho wild gyrations of the hideous cut tle fish in mortal combat. H piercing screams resounded afar, am and soon tho entire population gathered to witness the mod ravings and violent pontortioi s of tho erstwhile mon arch of hell. But there was none so poor to do him reverence, and span it was dis covered that the proud vulture of a. few minutes before was blind—stone blind. “When the joyous tidings of the .awful fate >f the autocratic enemy of the citizens of om beautiful burg were spread around a glad shout of victory rent the air, and the bonfires were lighted and the belis pealed in token of the happy deliverance from the plague that had blighted the whole city. For, finding that his vocifer ous pleadings for aid and assistance in the shape of an eye-wash were unheeded, Si lence Jordan staggered to his feet, and, quaking in his frightful agony remarked that it was bridge time with him, and, striding to the Suspension, flung himself into the turbulent waters below, never to rise again.”—Cincinnati Enquirer. The Persians’ Fear of Night Travel. The Persians have an exaggerated fear of night travel, partly from the bands of jobbers who infest the northern boundary of the country and partly from a super stitious inherited dread of a singular sect of religionists, who, like the Thugs of India regarded a deed of murder under certain circumstances, as a religious duty. This sect, known as Assassins, has been long .extinct, but such dread did their members Inspire by murders, always committed at Bight, that all infantile Persia, an 4 not a few of the grown population, retaih an unwillingness to go out at night, for fear of the Assassins.—Land of the Imams. A Kat Cremated by Electricity. A rat while attempting to escape from human enemies in the elccti ic-iight station in Reading, Pa., a few weeks ago jumped directly from the floor into one of the .brushes and was thrown back to the ground. He laid motionless apparently ( Bud certainly dead but without even a hair turned. One of the employes whs Sent with a shovel to gather it up, but as soon as tho shovel touched it the rat fell to dust with a little cloud of particles raising fyom the place where the body had seemingly lain. There was no vestige of hair, flesh, or bones remaining.—Electrical Review. Weakness of tb j Kesplraicry 'Machinery. Fiom the vital statistics which Hr. Bill ings has classified, tho appearance is that tho respiratory machinery is the feeble point in the American man and woman: or perhaps—though the summary of the Statistics published does not show thio—of any man or woman who endeavors to live In our climate. Diseases of tho lungs and diseases directly related to pulmonary dis orders aro out of all proportion to any other in their fatality. Consumption is the disease whirii, taken separately, kills more per persons per thousand of the pop ulation than any other one disease, and pneumonia is next to it. Consumption kills 91 per 1,000, pneumonia G3 per 1.0JU, and tho largest number pr r 1,0''.' to which any other malady is fatal is 3s. But if wo class together consumption, pneumonia, heart disease and bronchitis, the fatality of this group is 191 per 1.030; which amply shows that the respiratory organs are the dangerous spots; the points in our vital fortifleatien through which tho enemy gets in with greatest Ini iiity and where he does most harm. Consumption is, it is true, classed as a general or constitutional malady; but many foims of disease that are classed as consumption are specially diseases of the lungs or their pleural en velopes, and all are fata 1 through their ravages upon this organ. What are the causes and what is to be the consequence of the fact that the statis tics thus make out? Xo doubt our terri ble climate #s tpe first cauie. Over a widely-extended part of this country tho thermometer ranges from season to sea son through 110 or 1*10 degrees of the Fahrenheit scale. Wo ^hyo in the sama cities a Russian winter and an Italian summer, and as neither high ior low temperature; but the capacity to with stand great changes from cue to tho other is the true trial of vital force, our people are exposed to such a test as none other .is ever called upon to endure.—Now York Mail and Express. The Duration of a Generation. The duration of a generation is the aver age length of life for man. That is, though, of a udHiou of human beings born in a generation, some will die in infancy and some will liva to old age, the average life for the entire number will be about thirty- three ye&rs. This is arrived at by averag ing the ages of all persons, old and young, flying within a term of years. Different lo calities, different' periods, will of course alter the result, but the average for the race in civilised countries is always ap proximately the same. The average age of population Is a dif ferent tiling. This is the average age of all persons living af any one time, ascer tained by summing the ages of persons of different age as given by a census of the population, and dividing this by the sum total of the population.—Inter Ocean les.” _.

He was therefore sent, when a young man, to otic Covey, a noted “slave breaker,” to have iiis “spirit broken.” Of his experience, there ho writes: “1 was somewhat un manageable at first, but a few months ot Covey’s flLjelplina tamed me. He suc- •eeded in breaking me—in body, soul and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, ny intellect languished, the disposition ;o mnSfleparted, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eyet died out, the dark night of slavery closest! in about me —am! behold, a man transformed into a brute! Sunday was my only leisure time.’ Ispem this in a stixt of beast-Iiko stupor, between sleeping aftr- walking, under some large tree. At times I would rise up, 4 tia.sii of energetic freedom would chart through my soul, accompanied w ith a faint beam oi hope that flickered for a moment, and then vanished. 1 sank down again, mounapti over my wretched condition. I wasdfei 1 ictimes tempted to take my life and that of Covey, but was prevented by a combination of hope and fear. My suf ferings, as I remember them, no-./ seem .ike a dream rather than a stern reality.” -Boston Herald. I» It Food or Climate? Nor is it by any means impost-ib’e that the improved physique of our American backwoodsmen, especially their vertical increase, so confidently ascribed to cli matic influence, may have a good deal to do with a change of diet. The average size of the Prussian army officers consider ably exceeds that of the Prussian privates, to much indeed, that man for man, tho descendants of the well-fed and sport- loving German country squires are an inch or two taller than the men enlisted at the recruiting depots of the United States army, though the medical commissioners of those depots reject about eight appli cants in a dozen. Squat John Bull is a pawnbroker, and as, numerous iu Baxter street as in the old Jewry. British lords, British tourists, and British sportsmen are as tall and bony qa any New Eng lander. The truth is that we are too apt to underrate the influence of personal habits and overrate that of external cir- cumstance. A liberal diet combined with a fair amount of ontdoor exercise will produce tall men in any climate; starv ation and indoor drudgery will stunt the • hildcrn 'of stoutest race,' in America ns surely as in the Silesian weaver towns. —Dr Felix L.

I received the cards 0! invitation tho other day for the meeting of the Hotel Men’s Mutual Benevolent asso ciation there, and they were by all odds the most elegant things of the sort I have ever seen. The separate tickets for a uum- ocr of excursions that were included in rhe scheme of entertainment were inclosed iu a beautiful morocco case, and the pro gramme printed in a miniature volume bound in fac-simile ot a hotel register Tho bill of fare was a marvel of original ity and beauty. On the outside folder was a gilt key and check, caught by satin rib- nous, and on the reverse tho seal of tin older in green and gold The menu iu eluded thirty-two varieties of wine, so it i. evident that conviviality was a feature of tiro occasion.—Cor.

Mine eyes have seen the work of the Lord, and the cause of tin righteous has triumphed,” with more oi the same sort, followed by the words, “The Army of the Potomac is triumphant.
