How the Joke Was Turned.
In Shelby, Kentucky, one night last
week, four young men of Simpsonville
went over in, the Todd's Point neigh-
borhood to call on some young ladies ht
the house of an old gentlethan. After
staying a short time, they took their de-
parture, but returned in a little while,
and either in a spirit of mischief or to
revenge some real or fancied slight de-
liberately moved bodily a certain gar-
den outhouse, not ornamental but use-
ful, to the front door of the residence.
On arising the next morning, the old,
gentlerdan took in the situation at a
glance. Arming himself with a Shot-
cain = he was enabled, owing to the snow
which had, fallen the night previous, to
a
track the young men to their respective
places of abode. Ile- formed them all
in line, and. at the muzzle of his gun
raarehed them to the scene, of their de-
predation of the night previous. After
sunirdoning his daughters to witne4s
the fan, he compelled the young men to
carry the building back to the point
from which they had taken it. It was
a bitter pill, bit they submitted. What
made the case especially distressing to
one of the young men, was to find his
photograph, which he had given to Oils
of the young ladies, conspicuouslY tack-

Thirty Cents for .Corn."
L'No," - the honest farraer remarked,
itt tones of the deepest dejection, " the
big crops don't do us a bit of goad.
What's the use? Corn only pc) cents.
-Everybody and everything's dead. set
affain the farmer. Only 30 cents for
corn! -Why, by pun, it won't pay Or

won't buy us enough- salt to put upa

By jocks, it's a livin'; cold-blooded
swindle on the farmer, that's whatit
It ain't worth raisin' corn at such a
price as that. It's a mean, low rob-
_ -
bery." 1
Within the next ten days that mat' n
had sold so much more of his corn th`an
he had intended, that he found he had
to buy corn to feed. through the winter
with. The price nearly knocked hlin
down.
" What ! I' he yelled, thirty ceiita

What are you givin' ? Why, I 4011't

I clid meet with a few extraordinary
mean men in Sydney. There was one,
a merchant prince, who made it a boast
that he had. never givenAway a shilling

departed, from his extreme, selfishness
on one occasion, and the circumstances
- ore worth relating.

looking the very picture of misery,

'morning the proprietor of the defunct
porker was passing the warehouse, ancl
seeing his benefactor at the door totieh7
nd, his hat to him. "
"Well, did you get drunk With that
pound., or buy another pig ?" asked the
rich -man. gruffly. _
" Bought a pig, ver Honor, a darling
little thing. wid a sweet twist in ,his
tail, like a la.dy's Curl."
Well, it is to be hoped you will take

_ He had been sitting still so long that
themother expected to find him asleep
when he looked around and asked:

are we very rich ?" he solemn- ,
ly inquired by way of reply.
In one way we are," she said, "your
father says he values me at three mil-
lion dollars, you at two millions, and
the baby at one."
That closed the conversation on that
subject, but next morning as Harry was
getting on his overcoat, he examined'
the new patch which had been added,
and coolly observed.:

Dumas' s Pedigree.
A person more remarkable for in-
quisitiveness than good .breeding—one
of those who, devoid of delicacy and
reckless of rebuff, pry' into everything
—took the liberty to question Alex.
Dumas rather closely concerning his
genealogical tree. " You are a quad-
roon, Mr. Dumas ?" he began. "1 am,
Sir,!' replied Mr. Dumas, who -had seen
enough not to be ashamed of a descent
that he could conceal. "And your
father ?" "Was a mulatto." "And
your grandfather ?" "A negro," .hasti-
ly answered. the , dramatist, whose
patience was warning. "And may I
inquire who your great grandfather
was?" "An ape, Sir!" thundered
Damas, with a fierceness that made his
impertinent interrogator shrink in the
smallest pos'sible compass," an ape,Sir.

A ood. Story.
There is a story told of the proprietor'
of an estate near Stirling who in his
"search after the picturesque had wan-
dered. far away from home. One day
in one of the Western States of America
he. was admiring from- some loft stand. -
;point a•- magnificent combinatioa of
mountain, wood, . and water, and ap-
pealed to Yankee fellow -traveller, if he
had. seen tany-thing finer. There was
only one Scene, the Yankee said, that
spread out before them,and.heiconsidered
it one of the finest scenes of the kind in:
he thought surpaskd that .which lay
in the world, the view from- the top of
Abbey Craig, near Stirling.. The inueh
travelled SoOtStilan was abashed; the
hill in questiou was nearly in the centre
of his own -extensive domains, within
which,lay much of the beauty so•great-
ly admired by the di scriminatin gYankee.
The summer was yet only half -over,
and, the picturesqueAbbey Craig, the
far -stretching Vaile•of Forth, the gentle
slopes of the Ochils, and the rugged
mass of the G-rampians would be 4. all
their glory. Without the loss of a day
this fortunate but hitherto ntId011soions
possessor of one of the fairest domains
in broad Scotland packed up his' traps
and made all haste home to enjoy with
new openec't eyes, alnaost fromhis own
windows, that beauty. in. *search of
which he had. wandered over hall the
world.

An Amusing Mexican Fuii4aL
Over in Mexico thalere are, partiar-
ly among the lower 'classes, some very
queer customs. A funeral is almost as
jolly an. affair as a ball or a dailice.
Wherethe surviving mourners can af-
ford it, a brass :,band is engaged., but
music is indispensable, and.. the trines
' are identical with those pAyea at an-
dangoes. A. geOtleman, an . American,
who happened. to be in Presidio 1 ael
Torte for a few Weeks, was au eye-ivit-
ness of the follbwing : A .ehild had
died in the neighboring house, andthe
.serviees of the local band, consisting of
fiddle.„ a arum, o. harp, and.one or tWo
other musical 'instruments; had- been
engaged to render the • ceremonies Un-
usually impressive. It was the custom
. • to play tWo tunes, a: lively waltz bud
some other sentimental pieces, at the
• house, and two more pieCes at the
-grave. The corpse was laid out in !the
room,. and the musicians began to play

Everybody was dumbfounded, and ask-

solemnity of the, occasion. The c'hief
musician promptly explained. • He liad

following artieles, among others, were
observed duringthe year: A dormouse,
four white mice, two goldfinches, a
lizard, and a blind worm, all alive;
cutlery, medicine, varnish, ointments,
perfumery, articles of dress, a stoat, a
squirrel, fish, leeches, frogs, beetles,
caterpillars and vegetable Many Many of
these, being prohibited articles, were
sent to the.Returned•Lettet Office. A
snake, about a yard in length,
which had been committed to the post
for ti ansmission in a box, was observed
to be at large on the floor of one of the
night mail sorting carriages on the -Lon-
don and Northwestern Railway. After
a good deal of commission and inter-
ruption to the work it was killed. A
small box which reached the Returned
Letter Office in Liverpbol was found,
on -being opened, to contain. eight living
snakes.
Remarkable G-iants.
The. teeth 'and bones of the fossil ele-
phants found in Europe were assigned
in the 16th, 17th And 18th Centuries to
giants, and manY are the stories whic,h
were commonly reported about them—
as, for example, that of the giant of
Dauphine, in the reign of Louis XIV.
His remains were discovered by. a sur-
geon, who stated that they were en-
closed. in an enormous sepulchre cover-
ed with a stone ,slab, bearing the in-
scription Teutobodus rex; and that in
the vicinity there were also found coins
or medals, all of which ,showed the re-
mains to be those of a giant king of the
Cimbri, who fought against Marius.
However, the :original owner of the
bones, though ot of - the coins, was
proved to have b

At the New York post office lately a
letter. was found directed from Ireland
to "My Mother, New York, _America,"
Preparations were being made to send
it to the Dead Letter office, when. on
the same day a woman called at the
general delivery window and askeci for
a letter frond her son. The gentleman
who hat charge of thc.sdeciphering
bureau was immediately struck with
the coincidence, and sent for the letter
alluded to Above. He asked the wo-
man where her son lived, and when she
gave the name of the town it was found
to be thusame as thepostmark on the
letter. Other inquiries .justified. the
official in delivering .the letter to the
woman, but he insisted that she shonld
open it there, and' on examination it
was discovered. that .Was from her
sou, and that she was the person for
whom it was intended. Of course, if
she had asked for a letter. addressed • to
her name, the answer would have been
that there waS no such letter. Among
other curious letters received a few
days ago w itS one addressed to "J. II.
Johnston,' waggon and plow maker; ali

been instructed to address in .reply
