' There had been an incessant downpour of rain from the early hours of the morning, and still the angler sat on the bank of the river. Doubtless be was fishing for his tea, but success did not attend his efforts, and his onlv consolation was a small eel about the size of a worm. Suddenly a. drenenea urcnin maae his appearance. "Caught much?" asked the boy. . "Can't you see/' impatiently replied the angler. "Yer'll catch nothing there, mistea*." fro reply. After a flight pauae, "1 know frhfre you can catch some, though." "Where?" eagorly inquired the ardent angler. "Under the bridge," replied the k>J* "How do you know V' . "'Caps? they allua go there to keeproint 0# the.raiti^ '' ^ ' v .

The defence set up a plea of accidental homicide. / | ' " A DROVE UF-BW.LS; ' : , On# of th# Erratic Sir Boyle Rocho'i Quaint Letters. The following was written by the eccentric Sir Boyle Hoc he, a member of the hist Irish parliament. The letter was addressed to a friend in London, and it is old enough to be new to nine out of ten readers: "My Dear Sir?Having now a little peace and quietness, I sit down to inform vou of the dreadful bustle ; and confusion we are all in from those bloodthirsty rebels, most of whom are. thank Clod, killed and dispersed. We are in a pretty mess; can get nothing to eat nor any wine ; to drink, except whisky, and when we sit down to dinner we are oblig: ed to keep botli hands armed. While I write this I hold a sword in each ' hand and a pistol in the other, j concluded from the beginning ] that this would be the em! of it, | and I pee I was right, for it is not ; half over yet. At present there are i such goings on that everything is at a standstill. I should have answor ed your leftor a fortnight ago, but ! I did not receive it until this morning. Indeed, scarce a mail arrives without being roblied. The bag had been left behind for fear of acci| dent, and bv good luck there was | nobody in it but two outside pasj aengers, who had nothing foP the j thieves to take. Last Tuesday no; tiee was given that a gang of rebels was advancing here, under the French standard, but they had no colors nor any drums except bagpipes. * . i "Immediately every man in the place, including men, women and children, ran out to meet them'.'We soon found our force much too little. We were too near to 'think of retreating, peath was in every face, but at it we went and began to he alive again. Fortunately, the rebels had no guns, hut pistols and pikas, and as we had plenty of pauaketa and ammunition we put them, ail to the sword. Not a soql escaped, esoept some that were drowned in the ad^cent bogs, and in n very; short tijpe nothing Was hemrd^bwt'dQ^nae. I'h'eir uniforms were- all different colon, but mostly green. After the action we went to rummage' a sort of eamp which they had left behind +V>am' 111 *a' t-Wmrm ' M f?V I pikes witbput heads,' a pii-cel of empty bottles of'wSter and a "bundle of Frepch commissions filled with Irish names. Troops are stationed all ardundthe country, wbicb exactly squares witb my ideas. I hare only time to add.that I am in a great hurry. "P. S.?If you do not receive this, of course, it must have miscarried; therefore I bey you will write and let me know." One of the last acts of this strange individual was to introduce a bill into the British parliament entitled "A bill to provide that every quart bottle shall hold a ! quart!"?London Mail. Travel Was Slow. An excursion train started one ; Saturday for the scene of an important football game. This train, as is sometimes the case with excursions, went very slowly and had numerous stoppages. After a time the excursionists reached a station called March and were brought to a stand there. While they were waiting an official was strutting up and down the platform calling out: / "March! March!" A passenger who was a bit of a wag put his head out and said to the official: "What is it, old chap?" i "March," .said the official. "Ah. well, it may be March now, but it was .January wlt-en we started."? Cliii-ago Record-Herald. Ths Coinage of Money. tt iV generally understood among those "who''".have especially studied the subject that the coinage of monI by/began in. Asia Minor. The Lydians are credited with being the inventors. The oldest known coins are the electrum coins, stamped on one side with a lion's head or the figrtfe Of a king with bow and quiver. "These were replaced bv King , "Croesus with a coinage of gold and : silver.' ' To Croesus were probably due the oldest gold coins of Ephesus. "The system introduced by some unknown Lvdian king was adopted by the Greeks and so passed on down the ages.?New York American. ' . - Tersely Told. The Rev. Thomas Jordan has a son at college and recently was somewhat anxious about the boy's exams. So he told him to be sure to telegraph the result. When the results were declared the lad sent Ins fattier trie following message: 'Tfvnin 342, fifth verse, last two i lines." The anxious^father hastily look1 ed up the hvnin and found these : words: "Sorrow vanquished, labot j ended. Jordan passed." / I" SECIAL NOTICE^ " I'lioru- its" when voir want rg| t"> get a notice under this /Mtt Price one cent a J&tj word for each insertion. No ad taken for kss than 2oC.
