A Btranger, with no guile in his face and no overcoat on his shoulders, wan? dered into a clothing store in Newport the other day, and askod if ho could be fitted with a spring overcoat. Tho pro? prietor promptly answered in the affirm? ative. "You speak very,positively," re? plied tho Btranger. "I am bigger than you take me for. ' Tho store-keeper was still confident ho had coats that would answer. "I am a pretty heavy man," said tho stronger. "I will bet you $5 that you can't guess my weight within 100 pounds." Tho man was not particu? larly large, and this astounding chullengo entirely diverted tho seller of clothing from the ordinary coursoof his business. He took the'wager, named his guess? about 160 pounds?the money was put up in the handstof a third party, and all started off for a pair of scales, and tho stranger balanced 290 pounds of weights. The store man loeked sad and puzzled. With a smile that v."?s child-hko and bland, the stranger took his money and walked off, without saying anything moro about the overcoat. It has sinco been learned that this man wears a lead i'acket, and has been making an honest iving by playing his Bcurvy trick on un? suspecting dealers in clothing. He came from Connecticut. Step-Mother.?A lady in Boston at? tempted to deliver a lecture on "step? mothers" a few evenings since, and it is evident from the glimpse wo get of it that she is an admirer of sterj-motkers, for she said: "What grander typo of motherhood can you fink than this? For only the motherless know what it is to go through the world without a mother's care. There aro counterfeits in all posi? tions, in all professions; but we must not condemn the rule on account of the exceptions. 'Tis not for you nor mo to say what woman a man shall take for a mother to his motherless children, but when a man takes a child to occupy such a position I think it is somsbody h busi? ness." Very likely, and generally the other children of the household will lot the one "occupying such a position" know before she gets through. A few days since, a very absent-minded man got into a horse-car at Portland, for j Deering, Me. He had a basket with him, and to make sure that ho would not for? get it when he got out, ho placed it se? curely between his feet During the ride he engaged very earnestly in conversa? tion with another gentleman, and when the car arrived at the place whero he wished to alight, he hastily arose, and naturally kicked over the basket. He picked himself up, and then exclaimed, 4 'What fool left that basket there for peo plo to stumble over?" and got out of the car, leaving tho basket where ho had kicked it A Maine druggist has a valuablo coach-dog whose teeth have lately begun to decay with age, so he has had them filled by a neighboring dentist Maybe the dog would rather havo had the tooth-ache than its remedy. We have known some human beings who had this preference. ESTABU5HEC.1B3J. Nos. 3 Bread Street and 109 East Bay Street, CHARLESTON, S. C. TATI0MERS L?SRS ?
