One Sunday evening, when Mr. Benson
and Miss Jones were in the parlor, Mr.
Jones quietly, as he thought, made his
way to the room. On entering the door
he found Mr. Benson turning over ,the
leaves of an album on the marble -topped
centre table, while the young lady was
intently gazing on an engraving entitled
Napoleon Crossing the Alps," whioh
hung on the wall just above the stove.
_here were two chairs in the centre of the
room, about ten feet apart; end Mr." -Jones,
muttering something about looking for his
spectacle's, rather sheepishly withdrew. But
he was still suspicious, and on returning to
the dining•room he hit upon a plan whioh
he felt confident would not only clear up
all lingering doubts in hie mind, but also
bring bim fame and fortune.
mho idea was nol'bing more nor lees than
that of a patent adjnetab eo air,apparentiy
like the ordinary artiolei but so constructed
that under an excess of weight it would
siinit to the floor, and a whistle, worked by
co pressed air, would emit a shriek akin
to that from a steam calliope in a circus
parade. For example, Mies Jones, as has
already been said, weighed 125 pounds.
Mr. Benson's weight was an unknown
quantity ; but Mr. Jones, who had taken
part in local contents for guessing the,
weight of hogs, surmised that it should be
at least 160 pounde. So, having completed
bin chair; ' he adjusted it on the next
Sunday night to bear a weight of 250
pounds, placed it in the parlor, and retired
_to .Aheeming-room to await develop-
ments. ,
About 9 o'clock Mr. Benson arrived, and
he and Mies Jones went to the parlor. A
few minutes only had elapsed when the
stillness was broken by a weird and .most
unearthly shriek.' • The hired girl, who had
just returned from a meeting of Second Ad-
ventists and was surreptitiously regaling.
herself with cold beef and pickles in tbe
kitchen pantry, heard the tar -splitting
sound, and, emitting almost as loud a
scream, rushed into the yard, mounted the
water barrel, and, leaping over the fence,
landed in a tub of clothes and water whioh
the next-door neighborhad prepared for
the morning wash. Mr. Jones rushed to the
parlor-and-found-the-ohai in-e-steiteaaf-sol
lapse; the dry goods' clerk on his back on
the icor, vainly clawing at the air, and Miss
Jones seated Turkish•taehion on th'e carpet,
with a dazed look on her face and her
month full of hairpins, frantically endeav-
ingt, a rrenge the Psyche knot of her
luxuriant tresses. Mr."Jones' triumph was -
complete ; his daughter was too stunned to
make reply to his objurgations, and Mr.
Benson incontinently tied, leaving behind
him his cane and overshoes.
Mr. Jones bas no doubt that his patent
adjustable obair will prove one of the chief
;directions at the Wiudy City's Fair, and
that it will eventually come into use in
every well -regulated household. But even
chairs and bars have failed to keep true
lovers apart, and Cupid's votaries may ever
be depended upon to circumvent the pre-,
cautions of the shrewdest of fathers and
mothers.—Philadelphia Record,
ohnroh he addressed his enemies as follows :
" I am Urbina, whom you are looking for.
Kill me if you like, but the persons in the
church are not my accomplices. Do not
injure them;" The priest had given him
hie benediotion and accompanied' him to
the door, sobbing ae•he Dade him farewell.
The priest intended to return and close the
church, but as he arrived at the :porch he
became deprived of reason. Urbina was
speedily deepatohed and his head raised on
a pole. The guerillas continued to slaugh-
ter the inhabitants and to sack and burn
the town. for many_ hours, afterwards.
Over 100lives were sacrificed to tile'old?
rancour existing between the families of
Lazon and Urbina.
"A San Francisco despatch esys : Mayor
Pond to -day approved of an ordinance,

viding for the removal of the Cbinese to a
prescribed section in South San Francisco;

clares it unlawful for any Chinese person
to reside in or to carry on business within
the city limits, exoepr, in the district desig-
nated. It'° requires the removal of all
Cbinese to this district within sixty days,

ordinance,pnnieitable biey-:imtsrissonment,

Chinese population of San Franoisco, esti-
mated at 40,000, it; now located in " China-
town " adjacent to the business centre, and
if the order is enforced it will work a
marvelous change 'in that locality. It is
understood the Chinese will test the con

take no steps towards abandoning the dis-
trict they now occupy until the question is
decided by.the courts.

It Works on the Care in lows.
I name through Iowa this morning, and
when I took my breakfast on the dining

sold in Iowa." While I was passing up on
the Central Iowa road •I ordered lunch, and
on the bill of fare there were twenty•five or
thirty kinds of liquor, including, old bour-
bon and all kinds of liquors. I said this
didn't look like enforcing prohibition in
lows, with all kinds of whisky, gin and
rum on the bill of fere, and I thought I
would try it ; so I. said to the porter,
" Get me a bottle . of ' old bourbon,"
and . he said, " No, sah, couldn't do it,
eah, we et iei sell—it-here--Well-1--seide-
" Bat . you have it on your bill of
fare." And he said, " Yes, sah, but
we oan't sell it in the prohibition States."
And at the top of that ball of fare I saw
" no liquors sold within -the limits of pro-
hibition States:""� .Well; ,I thought may -be
he was fooling Mea little, ` but I looked
around, and nobody knew me, and I knew
nobody, so I said to him, " couldn't yon got
a fellow a bottle of beer, anyhow" ? And
he said, " Oh Lewd, no base, couldn't do it
nohow." And I said no one would know
anything about it, and he said, " Lewd,

fore we reached the State, and then they
count 'em after we leave it, and if a bottle
is gone I has to 'meant for it."

Striiers and Steamere.
The agent of the Guion line of steamers
yeeterday.reoeived a cable despatch stating
that the Arizona would not sail from
Liverpool on account of the strike. This
strike is among the atevedoree and it
affects all steamers sailing from Liverpool,
as far as known. Ie is thought the strike
will extend all over tbe 13ritieh isles if not
over the whole of Europe. The strike has
caused a good deal of exoitement in steam-
ship cirbles. None of the steamers can sail
on the advertised time from Liverpool.
Engagements for freight have been declared
off, and passage tickets have been called
in and the money refunded or arrange-
menta,made for the tickets to be used et
some future date. The Guion line has not.
had a ebip in here for two months. The
steamer City ot'Paris, whioh 'arrived here
Monday, had a hard time to get out of
Liverpool.
Mr. Stevens Stanley attributed to Lieu-
tenant Staire all the attributes of tint -
class generalship. In one of his graphic
letters, it will be remembered, -Stanley
describes a mutiny amongst the cowardly
rascals whom he rescued, and briefly states
that he executed the ringleader, and hed
no more trouble from traitors. Mr.
Stevens told ns on Saturday how the
execution was carried oat, and as this wars
new matter I shall' repeat the °story as
Stevens heard it from eye -witnesses, end
now related it behind the dinners table-.
" At that time," hey said, : a' Stanley .
was so weak that he could not -turn .+
in his bed without help ; but so strong
was his iron will that he insisted upon be-
ing taken ,out of bed and propped up in ra -
chair. Ho took a strong stimulant, and hed'J
himself carried outside of his tent, where
the people were all drawnu , and where
the mutineer, who had been t d and found
guilty, awaited hie'sentence. T echair wan -
put down.and Stanley faced the miscreant,:.
the fever in his eye, and his thin hand out-
stretched. We have come through' a
thousand difficulties \_ and dangers to save
you,' he said, ' and this is our reward ! :
Depart to God 1' The people therenpon
rushed upon the man, shouting, 'What
shall we do with him ?' ' Send hien to
God, I say 1' ehonted Stanley, pointing to
theoverhanging limb of a tree. A rope watt
thrown -over, noosed ronnd the miscreant's
neck, and bo was ewittly run np, and soon
dangled a corpse in' the air." -The atory was
very dramatically told by Mr. Stevene. I
could not help thinking in the midst 6f the
applanee, that this is a funny world. Even
out there, in the heart of the ark•Contin-
ent, there was a rope handy! hanging a '
man, and willing persona who knew how to
hang him.
