Perhaps tin- strangest contract j ever entered into between an indi1 vidual and a corporation was i!:at 1 which existed war* ago 'notween an j enterprising old woman from New | England. tiie widow of a sea captain. and a transportation company ! operating steamships between 1'anI ania and Valparaiso. It appears that upon one of the Islands in Panama bay this woman I possessed a hit of property that the ; Pacific Coast Navigation company desired for a warehouse. When the 'negotiations between the company andfthe woman was inaugurated the Yanvec danie drove a hard bargain. She i Vie it a condition of the sale ' that thetompany should give her a life pass upon its steamers between the ports mentioned above for her. self and a maid, to be used at her i pleasure. The company acceded to I this condition without misgiving, for it was thought only right to give her a sea voyage now and then. Experience, however, taught the company to think differently, for so soon as she had conveyed the title to the property and had received a card signed by the president and general manager granting her pas. sage at all times on their line she proceeded to move aboard their best 1 steamer, selecting a stateroom, and cruised up and down the coast for several months. At the large ports she would go ashore while the vessel was loading , and unloading, but she always left the greater part of her baggage in the stateroom and came aboard . again before the sailing date. When she tired of one steamer she would try another and Mas not CQntented with getting her living free of cost, but attempted to make a profit out , of the arrangement. She never before had enjoyed the , luxury of a maid, but after the entrance upon this contract with the company she on several occasions brought a woman on board whom ; she introduced as such, demanding . that she be allowed free passage. , The company's officers later discov! ered that the old woman Mas collecting fare from these women? that is, sbe was "scalping" her pass I ?so they declined to carry any more "maids." This curious old ; dame continued to live aboard the ' Pacific steamers until her death.? New York Press. Dr. Johnson Electioneering. 1 Southwark was once the scene of ' Dr. Johnson's electioneering ener' gies. This u-ns in 1780, when John; son's friend Ralph Thrale was candidate for the division. Dr. John1 son wrote Thrale's address to the electors and on several occasions M'ent canvassing in company M'ith Mrs. Thrale. One night, as Boswell records, an excited burgess seized the doctor's hat and, slapping him on the back, exclaimed, "All, Mas^ ~ ~ 1C T?A fimA f A Kd If I ifUIillSVJLl, tills IS liu I1U1V w thinking about hats!" "No, no, sir," returned Johnson. "Hats are . of no use now, as you say, except to , throw up in the air and huzza with." And, seizing his own hat again, he showed how the thing . should be done.?Westminster Gazette. The Reaction. Just when you are feeling bigger Than a grand electric sign And have patted your old headpiece, , Saying. "Here Is something fine," And vou sor; of get to thinking It Is plain that you are some And Important as a picture Then the bumps begin to come. When you feel you've turned the corner On the highway to success And you think that Mr. Morgan Will be asking your address. That your name ere long will carry On the very largest check. There's a large and busy bludgeon l Waiting for your shapely neck. ' When you feel securely planted In the pleasant seat of power And you hear the dollars rattle All around you In a shower, Running, as you fondly think It, Just like water from a pump, Tou may know by that same token You are listed for a bump. Ever thus the sorry story Of your nearly won success. When you see It. feel It. taste It, You have got another guess. That's the way fate's fickle forces With your hopes and prospects play. You are just about to grab It When It makes a get-away. We beg to announce to our friends . that the garden seeds Congressman . Ellerbe promised us for distribution | have not yet come to hand.

A very delightful occasion of this week was an "at home" given by the Misses Coker on Railroad avenue last evening. The feature of the occasion was a "penny contest",which was indeed a test of the ingenuity of each participant. Dr Claude McCabe won the first prize and Miss May Stoll got the consolation prize.
