Gaieties. A will is registered in Waynesburg, penn., which' contains the following' clause: "I also give to my beloved wife one red cow, one three year old soli, a,nd the remainder of the kitchen and household furniture." - -A fashionable lady in New York, reading that the Hoosian Tunnel cost /900 a yard, declared with emphasis that she'd "have a dress pattern off that if her husband didn't lay up a cent for the next two years." -A witness in a New York court, about to be sworn, being told by, the clerk to hold up his right hand, imme- diately held up his left. "Hold up your light hand," said the clerk. "Please your honor,' said the witness, still holding up his left hand, "I am left- handed." -Husband: "Maria, my dear, you seem to be very lonesome in my com- pany. Do you not love me now as you did before our marriage?" Wife: "Why, of course, Gerald; but, you know, since our marriage we have beeome 'one,' and. I feel lonesome without the second party. -A self-possessed young man called at a house in New York one morning, and asked to see his wife. "She's not here," replied the raistress of the house. 'There are none here but the members of my owu family." "Well," replied he, "it' e one of them I want to see. I married. your eldest daughter last night." -A player performing the G -host in "Hamlet" very badly, was _hissed. After bearing it a good while, he put the au- dience in good humor by stepping for- wardland saying: “Ladies and gentle- men, I am extrem ly sorry that my humble endeavors t- • please you are un- successful; but if 3,ou are not satisfied, r must give ult. the 11,host." -Mrs. Coyle, an old lady living in New York, put her head. out of the win- dow during a storm, and was struck by •. lightning. She was :stunned for a mo- • ment, and had the top of her head sing- ed, but she re.coyered. She says if she 'had only seen the lightning a minute -sooner, she would have dodged it, but somehow she ain't so spry as she was sixty years ago." - The most practical lover has been •discovered at Bristol. In one of the letters to his sweetheart, he wrote: "I wish you would not write me such long • letters. If you were to briug an action for breach of promise against me, the lawyers would copy the correspondence between us, and charge fourpence for every folio of seventy-two words. The shorter the letters, the mere we save from the lawyers." And yet he was not a Iavvyer, Training a Foot Runner. "What business may you be in ?" ask- ed the reporter. "I'm a feet runner, and my name is GeorgeJrvine. I was raised in Ottawa, and I have been seven yerrs at the busi- ness." "So long as that! And. in how many races have you taken part in that time ?" "Over four hundred, but I can't tell you how many I've won. I ran my first race when I was 16;years old, and I've kept going ever since. The largest sum I ever won at one time was $400, and • those who backed me cleared three thousand dollars." "What has been your success this past summer ?" “Pretty fair. Last Year I won ten forty -dollar purses, but somehow nev- er manage to save anything -and' yet I iwither Lew, nor smoke, Dor drink, or abuse my health in any way. I think I am in as good condition to -day as ever I was in my life, but it's a hard business to ,go into, and I wish I never entered it." "Can you give me an 'idea of your faaining ?" "You see it differs a great deal accord- ing to the kind of man you have to train you. When I first went into the busi- ne,ss I was lashed and horsewhipped and run off my feet so bad. that I,could- n't see an inch of the ground in front of me. This soon made me tough, and. took off the surplus flesh, but I tell you' under the best of circumstances, it is pretty rough on the knees -just above the knee -cap the pain is sonaething ter- rible at times." "But how about your wind -doesn't -that give out very often ?" “No, net in my case; I eau.% say that it does. I have generally got off pretty well on that score. But between you • and me," and here Irvine lowed his 'voice, and looked mysterious, "running is a bad. business. One is never sure he is going to wiu. All sorts of dodges are 'play off.' 11 I could get out of the business I would, but somehow I don't feel like leaving it: Win or lose I run for a living, and if my backers can make money out of me either way it suits me, and I can't afford to put on sty le." "Where is your next race to be ?" • "I am going to run at Brockville next week, but I guess I can get away with most of the boys there," and Mr. Irvine nodded a good day and walked off with a friend with whora he had an appoint- ment. -Montreal Witness. The Queen and the Herd • Laddie. One day some years ago when Her s standing on the public almoral, sketching the case articular point, a flock of sheep approached. Her Majesty, being intent on her work, took little notice of the flock, and merely moved a little nearer the side of the road. A boy in charge of the sheep shouted at the top of a stentorian voice, "Stan' oot o' the road, 'oman, and lat the _sheep gae by !" Iter Majesty not moving out of the way quite so fast as the' shepherd wished, he again shouted, "Fat are ye stan'in there for? Gang oot o' that, and lat the sheep pass!" - One of Her Majesty's at- tendants, who had been at a distance, on hearing his royal mistress thus rude- ly aseailed, went to the shepherd, and. thus II,ddressed him, "Do you know who it isy'r have been -speaking so rudely to, bo ?" neither ken nor care; but, be she fa' she likes, she sudna be i' the sheep's road." "That's the Queen," said the official. The boy look- ed astonished., and, after recovering his senses, said, with great fimplicity, "The Queen! Od, fat way disna she pit on claes that fouk can 'ken her ?" • The Last Scene in the American War. General Gordon, in the Philadelphia Weekly Tirnes, gives the following ac- • count of the scenes attending Lee's sur- render: “My men were drawn up in the little • town of Appomattox that night. I still had about four thousand men un- der me, as the army had been divided into two commands and given to Gen- eral Longstreet and myself. Early on the raorning of the 9th I prepared for the assault upon the enemy's line and began the last fightng done in 'Virginia. My men rushed forward gamely and Majesty w road :near tle from a broke down.. The men cried like chil- dren. Worn, starved and bleeding as they were, they had rather have died than have surrendered. At one word from me they would have hurled them-„ selves on the enemy and have cut their way through or have fallen to a man with their guns in their hands. But I could not permit it. The grand drama had been played to its end. But men are seldom permitted to look upon such a scene as the one presented there. That these men should have wept at surrendering so unequal a fight; at being taken out of this constant carnage and storm; at being sent back to their families; that they should have wept at having their starVed and wasted forms lifted out of the jaws of death and placed once more before their hearthstones, was an exhibition of for- titude and patriotism that might set an example for all time." • • About Dress. • I am no advocate of extravagant dressing, but in spite of the howling of the Pharisees, it is wt'sman's mission to attend to the clothing of the family, and it cannot be done properly without thought and talk. Among all the mul- tiplicity of fashious and fabrics now .in use, there never was a time when a more genteel appearance could be pre- sented on less money than now. Notlat' big need. be wasted, and if a woman will think for herself what is the best combination_to be made with the ma- terial at hand, instead of leaving it to her overtasked dressmaker or milliner to decide for her, she -can dress herself and family in good taste for a small sum. It is not always those who spend the most money that dress the best. There are women who have great piles of cheap clbthing, who would not think of buying a first-class article of any- thing, and pass for wonderfully econ- omical, because they have not a really nice dress to call their own; while others who do not buy half so many, but buy them of good material that al- ways looks well, thus saving the cost of trimmings and trouble of making, will present a better appearance on less means. She may also earn the reputa- tiou (among shallow people) of being very dressy. Any one should be quite rich before they can afford to buy and make any but -real good Muslin s, calicoes, flannels, cassinaeres, cotton- ades; etc. • broke through the line of the enemy • Some New York Misers. and captured two pieces of as tillery. I The misers of this city have been was ,still unable to tell what I was fighting. I did not know whether I was striking infantry or dismounted cavalry. I only knew that ray men were driving them back, and were get- ting further and further through. Just then I had a message from Gen- eral Lee, telling me a flag of truce was in existence, leaving it to my discretiOn as to what course to pursue. My men were still pushing their way on. I sent at once to hear from General Long- street; feeling that if he was marching toward me, we might still cut through and caary•the army forward. I learn- ed that he was about two miles off with his men faced just opposite from mine, fighting for his life. I thus saw the ease was hopeless. The further each of us drove the enemy the furthet we drifted apart and the more exposed we left our wagon trains and artillery, which was packed between us. livery time either of us breke only opened the Op the wider. I saw plainly that the Federals would so..o rush between us, and then there w( ild ,be no army. I therefore determi. ed to send a flag of truce. I called efajor Hunter of my staff to me and toid hira that I wanted him to carry a hag Of -truce forward. He replied: "'General, I have Jo flag of truce.' "1 told him to get one. He replied.: "'General, we have no flag of truce in our command.' "Then said 1: 'Then get your hand- kerchief, put it on a stick and go for- ward..' " have no handkerchief, general.' "'Then borrow one, and go forward with it.' "He tried, and reported to me that there was no handkerchief in my staff. • "'Then, major, use your shirt.' "'You see, general, that we all have on flaunel shirts.' "At last, I believe, we found a man who had a white shirt. He gave it to us, and I tore off the back and tail, and, rigging this to a stick, Major Hunter went out toward the enemy's lines. I instructed him to simply say to General Sheridan that General Lee had written me that a flag of truce had been sent from his and Grant's head -quarters, and that he could. act as he thought best on this information. In a few mo- ments he came back with Major of Sheridan's staff. The officer said: "'General Sheridan requested .me to present his compliments to you and to demand the unconditional surrender of • your army.' "'Major, you will please return my compliments to G-eneral Sheridan, and saythat I will not surrender." • " 'But; ;General, he will annihilate yen.' '"I am perfectly well aware of my situation. I simply gave General Sheridan some information on which he may or may not desire to act.' "He went back to his lines, and. in a short time General Sheridan came gal- loping forward mit an immense horse rescsrted to to make you give up.1 and attended bya Ivlery large staff. have had red pepper squirted at me Just here an incidett accurred that when walking on the track; I have had came near having a serious eeding. As some stuff rubbed on my body by my General Sheridan was. approaching I trainer -who had been paid to do it by • senaebodyelse-aud it has had the effect of weakening me till I was almost as tender as an infant. I have even had acid squirted at me from -a syringe ; have walked with loaded heels on my elutes (when I hey° been put up to lose), chiefly among the lower classes. One of the most conspicuous of this number when advised by a, friend to use his property for his personal comfort, since his heirs would only spend it, replied thus "1 take more pleasure iu saving money the -a they will ever have in using it." Several instances are on -record in this city of destitution and death in which large sums were after- wards found. In the John Lewis case the estate is nearly $1,000;000. There also the instauce of "old man Wells," whose heirs receutly tried to prove him insane.- They failed in this, and hence the old man is left to still increase those accumulations which must eventually come into their hands. One of the last cases to attract attention is that of a rag picker, Samuel Leach, who died in a tenement house in great misery. The coroner found the corpse the solitary occupant of a miserable attic. It might have been buried. by public charity had not the coroner begun an immediate search. A barrel of dirty rags which stood in the room proved. to be a place of concealment, for it con- tained a quantity of greenbacks and specie, and also several bank books, which had done long service. On further examination it was discovered that this chiffounier, who was generally supposed. to be 'miserably poor, owned two houses. He preferred, however, to live in an attic, as it was a better concealment of his wealth, which is now estimated at $15,000. Since this fact is known a large number of rela- tives have put in their claims, and -when the case was called five lawyers arose, representing an equal_ number of con- testauts.
