ONE OE THE "JINERS." A Woman Who Thought She Had Just Grounds for a Divorce. Manchester (N. H.) Mirror. Sbe was about forty-five years old, well dressed, had black hair, thin and tinged with gray, and eyes in which gleamed the fires of a determination not to be easily balked. Sbe walked into Major House's office, and requested a private interview, and having obtained it, and satisfied herself that the law students were not listening at a key-hole, said slowly, solemly and impressively: "I want a divorce." "What for? I suppose you had one of the best of husbands, said th Major. "I s'pose that's what everybody thinks, bnt if they knew what I've suffered in ten Sears they'd wonder I had nob scalded im long ago. I ought to, but for the sake of the young ones I've borne it and said nothing.. I've told him though what he might depend on, and now the time's come. I won't stand it, young ones or no young ones; I'll have a divorce, and if the neighbors want to blab themselves hoarse about it they can, for I won't stand it another day." fiat what's the matter? Don't your husband! provide for you? Isn't he true to yon ? Don't he treat you kindly ?" pursued the lawyer. "We get victuals enough, and I don't know but he's as true and kind as men in general, and he's never knocked any of ns down. I wish he had, then I'd get him into jail and know where he was of nights," retorted the woman. "Then what's your complaint against him ?" "Well, if yon must know, he's one of these plaguey jiners." "A what V1 "A jiner?one of them pesky fools that's always jinin' something. There can't nothing come along that's dark and sly and hidden, bnt he'll jine it. If anybody should get up a society to burn his house down, he'd jine it just as soon as he could get in, and if they . had to pay to get in, he'd go all the suddener. We 'hadn't been married more'n two months before he jined the Enow Notbin's. We lived on a farm then, and every Saturday night he'd come tearin' in before supper, grab a fistful of nut-cakes, and go off frnawin' 'em, and that's tho last I'd see of him till morning. And every other night he'd roll and tumbled in his sleep, and holler, "Put none bnt Americans on guard?George Washington;" and on rainy days he'd go out into the corn barn and jab at a picture of the Pope with an old Bagnet that was there. I ought to pnt my foot down then; but he fooled me 80 with his lies about the Pope's com - ling soon to make all Yankee girls marry Irishmen, and to eat np all the babes itbat warn't born with a cross on the fore* '.heads, and I let him go on and encour? aged him in it. "Then he jined the Masons. Perhaps yon know what , them be, but I don't *sept they think they're the same kind of critters that bnilt Solomon's Temple, and took care of his concubines ; ana of all the darned nonsense and gab about wor? shipful mas and squares and compasses ana sich, that we had in the house for the . next six months, yon, never see the beat And he's never outgrowed it nnther. What do you think of a man, Squire, that'll drees hisself in a white apron, boat big enough for a monkey's bib, and go marching up and down, and making mo? tions and talking the foolishest lingo at a picture of George Washington in a green jacket, and a truss on Mb stomach? Ain't he a loonytick ? Well, that's my Sam, and Pve stood it as long as I'm go? ing to. "The next lunge the fool made was into the Odd Fellows. I made it warm for him when he came home and told me he'd jined them; but he kinder pac? ified me by telling me that they had a sort of branch show that took in women, and he'd get me in as soon as he* found out how to do it Well, one night he came home and said I'd been black-balled. Did it himself, of coarse. Didn't want me round knowing to bis goings on. Of coarse he. didn't, and I told him bo. "Then he jined the Sons of Malter. Didn't say a word to me about it, bat sneaked off one night, pretend en' he'd got to set up with a sick Odd Fellow; aud I'd never found it out, only he came home looking like a man that had been through a threshing machine, and I would n't do a thing lor him till he owned up. And bo it's gone from bad to was, and from was to wasser, jinin, this and t'other, till he's Worship Minister of the Masons, and Goddess of Hope of the Odd Fellows, and Sword Swallower of the Fannigans, and Virgin Cerus of the Grange, and Grand Mogul of Sons of In? dolence, and Two-Edged Tomahawk of the United Order of Black Men, and Tale- Bearer of the Meciful Manikins, and Skipper of the Guild of Caratrine Colum? bus, aud Big Wizzard of the Arabian Knights, ana Pledge-Passer of the Re? form Club, and Chief Bulger of the Irish Machinists, and Purse-Keeper of the Or? der of Canadian Conscience, and Double B&rreled Dictator of the Eights of the Brass Circles, and Standaid-Bearerof the Royal Archangels, and Sublime Porte of the Union League, and Chambermaid of the Celestial Cherubs, and Puissian Po? tentate of the Petrified Pig-Stickers, and the Lord only knows what else. I've borne it and borne it hopin' he'd get 'em all jined after a while, but tain't no use; and when he'd got into a new one and been made Grand Guide of the Knights of Horror, I told him I'd quit; and I wl 11." Here the Major interrupted her say? ing: "Well, your husband is pretty well in? itiated, that's a fact; bat the court will hardly call that good cause for a divorce. The most of the societies you mention are composed of honorable men; and have excellent reputations. Many of them, though called lodges, are relief associa? tions and mutual insurance companies, which, if your husband should die, would take care of you and would not see you suffer if yoa were sick." "See me suffer when I'm sick T Take care of me when he's dead! Well, I guess not. I can take care of myself when he's dead, and, if I can't, I can get another. There's plenty of 'em. And they needn't bother themselves when I'm sick, either. If I want to be sick and Buffer it's none of their business, especial? ly after suffereing I've had when I ain't sick because of their carryings on. And yon needn't try and make me believe it's all right, either. I know what it is to live with a man that jioes so many lodges that he don't never lodge at home, and signs his name, 'Yours truly, Sam. Smith, M. M., L 0.0. F., K. 0. B., K. of P., P. of H., R. A. H. 1. I. P., K. of X., N. C, L. E. T., H. E. R., R. I. P., X. Y. Z., etc.," "Oh, that's harmless amusement," re? marked Mr. House. She looked him square in the eye and said: "I believe you are a jiner your? self." He admitted that be was to a certain extent, and she rose and said. "I wouldn't have thought it. A man like you chair? man of a Sbabath Sbool and superinten? dent of the Republicans 1 It's enough to make a woman take poison. Bui: I don't want anything to do of you. I want a lawyer who don't belong to nobody nor notbin'," and she bolted out of the office. ? Hans was informed that a lady bad called to see him in his absence. "A lady," he mused aloud "a lady." Upon an accurate description being given he suddenly brightened up and added, "Ob, dot was no lady; dot was my wife."' ? Statistics show that more ship? wrecks and collisions occur on the coast of England than anywhere else, as the shipping and commerce of the world centre in the neighborhood; but they are ten times less frequent than twenty years ago, | A Texas Horse Trade. There is a gentleman by the name of Smith living in Galveston who keeps a kind of livery stable. Among other horses in his custody was a fine bay horse belonging to Jones. This horse, iu ca? vorting about the stable yard, ran against a wagon and broke his leg. Of course Smith was responsible. Ail he had to do was to send for a policeman, have the animal shot and pay Jones about $60, the value of the animal.? Smith notified the policeman and started out to see Jones and inform him official? ly about the accident. Now, Smith is considerable of a wag. Happening to meet Brown, he asked if Browu did not want to buy a horse. It had been the dream of Brown's life to sit behind a horse of his own and call out "g'glangl" He wanted a cheap horse and one that was safe, so that when Smith put the question to him, Brown replied: "May be so; if you have the right kind of a horse. Is he a steady, quiet horse ?" "He is the quietest horse you ever saw." "Won't bite or kick, and is not likely to run away ?" "If he bites, kicks or runs away I'll give your money back." "Humph," said Brown, "what are you asking for the wonderful animal ?" 'Tu let you have him cheap. He is that fine bay horse Jones used to own. I'll let you have him for $21. Give me $1 down, and your note for $20 more, and it is a bargain. I have no use for the horse, but I want the money right off." Brown thought to himself: "This is the golden opportunity. Smith has been tampering with cotton futures, I am sorry for him, but business. I am not his guardian," so he planked down the dollar, and gave his note for the bal? ance. If Brown was pleased with the trade, Smith was still more so. He called ;o several friends, and treated the crowd with the dollar, after which the proces? sion reformed and marched down to the stable to see Brown's new purchase.? When they, got there the policeman had already shot the poor brute, and he looked like all he really needed-was an inquest. Brown looked very much that way himself. He turned pale and then got red behind the ears. Then he smiled, but it was not' a particularly healthy smile. Smith tried to help mat? ters;'and as soon as the crowd had quit holding their sides, he said: "Now, Brown, I don't want yoa to tell anybody swindled yon. I call on these gentlemen tor witness that I have done the square thing. This is Jones' bay horse, the identical one I sold you. I guaranteed he wonld not bite nor kick, and you can? not provoke him to run away. I think he fills the bill. I want you to take him off or I'll charge you for keeping him." "Boys," said Brown, "don't give me away. I know I am not the only fool on Galveston Island. Let's go and hunt for a duplicate, and I will set 'em up." They strolled out and met Robinson. "Look here Robinson, don't you want a right good horse at a bargain ? I've just bought Jones' fine bay horse. He cost $60 originally, and he is in just the same condition he was in when I got him." "Ohl" said Robinson, "things are hard and horse feed is awful high. A high stepping horse, like Jones' bay, will eat his head off in no time." "That's where you are fooling yourself He eats less than any horse you ever saw. By thunder no horse can eat leas than he can." "Ain't he a little frisky ?" Brown shook his head and replied: "You are doing that'horse injustice.? You can tell by looking at him that he is not that kind of an animal. I'll let you have him for just what I gave for him?$20?$1 down and your note, se? cured by such men as Heidenheimer, for the balance. I've got to have mon? ey.', Robinson thought it was mean to take advantage of Brown's distress, but then it was not his lookout. If he was out of his head, why didn't be have the Court appoint him a guardian ? So he planked down $1 and gave the note on the condi? tion that the horse would go in a wagon. "You bet," remarked Brown, "he'll go iu a wagon. He won't go in anything1 else. Come on boy's, let's spend this dol? lar." After, they wiped off their mouths the procession reformed and started to in? spect the animal. Sure enough, three niggers were lifting him into a wagon. There, said Brown, "I told you he would go into a wagon. Don't say I swindled you. He will eat less than any horse you ever ownud. You willsavehis value in horse feed in two weeks. Just try and see if he is not gentle. Tickle him with a straw." The spectators applauded. Robinson looked like he ought to go along with his horse to keep him in countenance. In conclusion, it is whispered on the strand among capitalists that some of the notes have already passed into the hands of innocent holders, and as soon as they mature, protests will be in order.?Gal? veston Nexos. He "Squoze" Her Hand.?An Ohio merchant tells the following story about himself. Where be lives is a secret. "When I was a boy about seventeen years old I made a trip to Cleveland in an old fashioned stage coat, with its spanking four horses. At Mount Ver non, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a pretty girl came on board. She Hat on the back seat, next to the elderly-looking man. I was on the middle seat imme? diately in front of her. I soon struck up a pleasant chat with her. She was a charming talker and almost as brilliant as she was pretty. It looked as if we were mutually pleased. When dark came I concluded there would be no barm in giving her hand a snueze by way of a feeler. I reached behind and got hold of the hand. I was a little startled at the hardness, but it returned a vice? like pressure. I squeezed again and it squoze back. A sense of disappointment would steal over me when in my mind I would contrast the seeming toughness cf her hand with the tenderness and sweet? ness of her voice. The contrast did not seem to arterialize my blood quite up to the point of exhileration. At last she reached her destination and left the coach. After we had started again that old rooster who sat beside her addressed me thusly: 'Young man, do you feel all right? You had a nice time tugging at my old paw for the last five miles; hope you enjoyed it. The two young ladies on the front seat giggled all the way to the next station, and the gentleman passengers didn't forget to smile when I looked up. I have been more successful since in that line,"_ ? A shocking phase of city life came to the knowledge of the New York police Friday, namely, that of a mother who had the corpse of a babe iu her room for an entire week, owing to her iuability to raise meanB to enable her to bury it. The woman's name is Mrs. Lauretta Dwight, and the place of her abode 125 West Twenty-third street. Mrs. Dwight says : "My child took sick on Friday last and died the next morning. I sought relief among the neighbors and tried to raise money to bury the child, but was met with a cold response everywhere I went. Even the societies to which some people advised me to apply refused to assist me. A last resource was left; me. My child'u life was insured in the Prudential Life Insurance Company for ten dollars. I paid three cents a month regularly for this privilege, b^jtwhen I applied to the company I of course bad to wait until inspectors and agents of the company called and saw that everything was cor? rect. I then received the ten dollars and this is what buried my child." Old Jerry Turns Proaclicr. Services were first held in Calico Church last Sunday night. It had been announced that a new preacher would address the conjugation, and that a new method of presenting gospel facts would be adopted. The colored people were very anxious to hear the new preacher. A new way of presenting the gospel excited curiosity. Sunday night the house was well filled. The preacher was rather late. Finally he came. All eyes were turned toward him. He was Jerry, the ex-politician. Ascending the pulpit the old man wiped the perspiration from his brow, aud said: "Let us pray." The congregation bowed over, and the old man raised his hands and exclaimed : "Lord, de agent of all light an' de? stroyer ob all darkness, hab mussy on de sinners ob de Ian'. Take de lie outen de moufs ob de politicians, an' enable your sarvant to discharge his 'sponsible duties. Amen." The preacher wiped his face again, and, after regarding his congregation for a few seconds, said: "We'll omit de-singin'. Dar hab been too much singin' an' too little action in dis world. De cricket sings an' de bee labers. De cricket dies when Winter comes, but de bee bab laid up de sweet meats of 'pentence. Afore I enters inter de tex', it may not be outen place to tell you my 'sperience. I kin do it in a few words. I foun' dat I was on de wrong road, an' dat a man of my 'fluence could do much good. I quit politics, took out a license, an' am now a preacher. Now fur de tex': 'He dat libs by de sword shall perish by de sword.' De nalogous ob dis is, be what libs by de ballot box must perish by de ballot box. De salva? tion of a man's soul is wutb mor'n all de votes he kin git, but de gardin ob 'ligion hab growed up in weeds. My mission is ter pull up de weeds. I 'sposes ter make a reform. Garfield was a preacher an' den turned politician. I was a politician an' den turned preacher. I leaves de paths of de wicked an' goes ter de righ? teous, but he leaves de righteous an' goes ter de wicked. De Bible says fur ter preach de gospel ter every libin creature. What de use ob preachin' ter de creecher ef de creecher won't heah ? None. De Bible means dat yer shall make 'em ter harken. I sees a good many ole tuffs in dis house, an' I wants 'em ter come up ter de mourner's bench right now. Pa's got ter come. De Lord doan say I wish you would do anything, but says you's gr t ter do it. Firmness is religion. De rock of ages is made outen flint. Mr. Johnson," said the preacher, addressing a sinner, "come up an' put yer bead on dis bench. I'se played kyards wid yer, but you'se got ter reform. Come on, 1 tells yer; is yercorain'?" "No I isn't," said Mr. Johnson. "Den I'll fetch yer. You'se been standin' off de preachers long 'nough." The preacher left the pulpit, advanced to where Mr. Johnsou was standing, and caught him by the collar. "Turn me loose! I doan wanter hab no truck wid yer, man." "Come up heah ter dis bench or I'll drag you dar. De gospel is roused. De time ob salvation is at nan'." "Turn me loose, I tell yer. I'se a bad man and toats matches in my hat." - "Yas, an' yer'll toat sulphur in de hem ob yer garments. Come ou heah or I'll jerk de stuffin' outen you." The two men began struggling, and the wildest confusion prevailed. "Sing de ole tug-boat of Zion," said the preach? er, and the congregation obeyed. Finally Mr. Johnson was dragged to the bench. He was warned not to lift up his head ; and as a deacon was stationed over him with a club, he did not look up. "Go out and 'pel 'em ter come in," said the preacher. "De feast ob de Lord must be 'tended, boy," exclaimed the preacher; "put yer head on de board of 'pentence. Go on, or yer'll be lame fer a week. Git down dar, ole man! Young ooman, put yer head diwn dar! When de Moony and Senkum business fails yer's got to use ie improved plan. Doan let dat man out," exclaimed the preacher, as a large individual made a break for the door. "Hole him. Now, yer raskil, would yer run from de lam'? When de lam' ivon't fetch 'em yer mus' use de ram. Da switched de lam's tail at Jeri co, an' de walls stood still, but when da I pushed wind through de ram's horn da tumbled. Oh, yer doesn't wanter come, does yer? Deacon, hit this man." The deacon sprang forward and was on the eve of braining the sinner, when he an? nounced his willingness to go. Some fifteen or twenty were thus taken up, and frightened by so determined an example the other sinners meekly obeyed. With? in an hour from the time preaching be? gan seventy-five mourners were at the bench. Ola Jerry stood in the midst, exhorting. "Dars a bright star shinin' in de East?put yer head down," he said, as a boy looked up, as though hunting for the star. "De Gospel car is rollin'. Sinners is comin' ter pentence." A re? fractory mourner jumped up and attemp? ted to run, but was promptly knocked down by one of the deacons. The meet? ing lasted until nearly daylight, and the preacher left, highly satisfied with the result. It is said that other preachers are going to adopt his method, and that a sweeping religious campaign will soon be instituted.?Little Rock Gazette, The Most Venomous of Snakes. A recent arrival at the Zoological So? ciety's Gardens in Regent Park, deserves special notice, apart from the fact that it is the first of its species known to have been brought to England. It is a snake, called the echis carinaia, about a foot and a half long, and of dingy gray. Yet, although in appearance neither interest? ing nor formidable, it is the deadliest of created things. This detestable little worm, which, looking, at it, the spectator might make bold to say he could imitate very passably in cork and putty, is, nev? ertheless, one of the miracles and mus? ter-pieces of nature, for it is death itself, and carries in its tiny head the secret of destroying life with the sudden rapidity of lightning, and the concentrated agony of all poisons. The echis comes to us from India, where it is tolerably com? mon, being found in nearly all parts of tbe peninsula, and feared wherever found as the incarnation of instant and terrible destruction. Fortunately, however, for man, it is not like tbe kobra and the korait, a house frequenting snake; its tiny size would give it a terrible advan? tage over human beings who live crowd? ed together, as tbe natives of India do, in small, darkened rooms, while its aggressive habits would make it more fatal to life than its dreaded relatives. For this king of the asps, this modern basilisk, is not only venomous beyond conception, but is actively offensive. It does not turn to escape from man as the cobra will, or flash iu to concealment, like tbe korait, but conscious, perhaps, of its deadliness, deliberately keeps the path against its human assailant, and putting its own 18 inches of length against his bulk, challenges and provokes the con? flict. A stroke with a whip will cut it in two, or a clod of earth disable it; but such is its malignity that it will invite attack by every device at its command, staking its own life on the mere chance of its adversary coming within the little circle of its power. At most, the radius of this circle is twelve inches, but within it, at any point, lies certain death, and on the bare hope of hand or foot tress passing within its reach, the echis, throws its body into a figure of eight coil, and, attracting attention by rubbing its loops together, which form the roughness of the scales?hence the epithet carinata, ?makes a rustling, hissing, sound, erects its head in the centre and awaits attack. No one having once encountered this terrible worm can ever forget its trucu? lent aspect when this aroused, its eagerly aggressive air, its restless coils, which, in constant motion one over the other, and rustling ominously all the while, stealth-, ily but surely brings it nearer and nearer to the object of its fury ; the eye, malig? nant even beyond those of other vipers, and then the inconceivable rapidity of its stroke. For the echis does not wait to strike until it is within striking dis? tance, but vents its malice in repeatedly darting at nothing, hoping, perhaps, to aggravate its antagonist into coming to closer quarters, or more probably, as a mere expression of its own uncontrola ble viciousness.?London Telegraph. Josh Billings on Beer. I have finally come to the conclusion that lager beer az a beverage iz not in? toxicating. I hav been told so by a German who drank it all trite long jest to try the ex? periment, and he wuz obliged to go home sober in the morning. I hav seen the same man drink 18 glasses, and if he wuz drunk it wuz in German and nobody could understand it. It is proper enuff to state that this man kept a beer saloon, and could have no object in stating what wuz not strictly thus. I beleevc him to the full extent of mi ability. I never drank but three glasses of lager in my life, and that made my bead twist as tho it wuz owing to my bile being out of place, and I guess that it wuz so, for I never biled over wuss than I did when I got home that nite. My wife thot I wuz going to die, and I wuzafraid I sbouldent, for it seemed as tho everything I had ever eaten in my life wuz coming to the sur? face ; and I believe if my wife hadent pulled off my butes just as she did, they would hav come thunderin up too. 0, how sick I wuz I 14 years ago, and I can taste it now. I never had so much experience in so short a time. If enny man should tell me that lager beer wuz not intoxicating I should be? lieve him ; if he should tell me I wuzent drunk that nite, but my stummich wuz out of order, I should ask him to state over in a fu words jest how a man felt and acted when he wuz set up. If I wuzent drunk that nite, I had sum ov the most nateral simtums that a man ever bad and kept sober. In the first plane it wuz about 80 rods from where I drank the lager beer to mi bouse and I was jest over 2 hours on the road, and a hole bus? ted thru each one ov my pantaloons neez; I didn't hav mi hat, and tried to open the door by the bell-pull, hiccupped aw? fully, and saw everything iu the room trying to get rouud behind me, and Bit? ting down on the cheer I didn't wait long enuff for it to get perzactly under me and I sat down too soon and missed the cheer by about 12 inches, and couldent git up soon enuff to take the next wun that came along; and that ain't awl, my wife sed I wuz as drunk as a beest, and as I sed be4 I begun to spin up things freely. If lager beer ain't intoxicating it used me most almighty mean, that I kno. Still I hardly think that lager beer iz intoxicating, for I bav bin told so; and I am probably, the only man livin who ever drank enny when his liver wuzent plumb. I don't want lu say ennything about a harmless temperance bevridge, but if I drink enny more, it will be with mi hands tied behind mi back and my mouth pried open. I don't think lager beer is intoxicating, but if I remember rite, I think it taned to me like a glass of sope suds that a pickle had been to soke in. ?
