AXEC1WTES OP JOSH BItXIXGS. rtnonil Remlnfwcenoe of the GresU Hnmormc, With Specimen of His Fan. I was sitting down to lunch ope morning at Delmonico's with a lit erary friend when there entered Uil, g&unt man, with stooping shoulders, a slouching walk, iron pray hair and a pair of keen bright -ves, who deposited himself heavily upon a chair at the nearest Tacant table. My friend touched my feet to direct my attention to the new comer, and Boftly "aid: "Do you know who that is?'' 'No." "That's Jos h Billing." he whimpered. "I'll ak him to join up." M y friend arose, wet,t to his table, cramped Lis hand and in another in stant I was introduced to the au thor of a va?t amount of mis-spelt wisdom. "How's every bone in your body ?" said Josh to my friend. Then, turr.inj; to rue he said : "Glad to pee vou, sir. Just arrived from England, eh ? Dring my cutlet and collie here." Le went on, addressing the waiter, as he inserted his long, i lean legs under our table. B-fore I left New York I called on Josh Billings with an aibum,8nd modestly solicited his autograph. He took it on his knees, gave his mouth a cunical twist, and wrote: "Tliri' is lie armr-l m lio Lath his quarrel jut." IHepofAvok. And f tur time lie uliojrtt lii ow fust."

A group of the Yale lads chanced tn be there on a frolic, and iuiine'liai' !y interviewed Billings, whom they evidently mistook for a f:rn;er. They inquired with afiect el ii.tere.-t after the health of his wife and children, and Josh, with counterfeited simplicity gave them a graphic description of the family and farm. "Of caurse yoa belong to the church ?" ahked one of the boys. 'Yep, the Lord le praised, and my father and grandfather before me." "Now, I supple you would not toll a lie?" added one of the stu dents. "Not for the world." "What will you take for that dog?" pointing to Jot-h's cur, which was crouchii:g beneath his chair. "I won't take twenty dollars for lhal dog." ' Twenty dollars ! Why, he's not worth twenty cents." "I a-sure you I would not take twenty dollars for hira." "Come, my friend," said the stu dent, who, with his companions, was bent on having some fun with the old man. "Now, you say you won't tell a lie for the world. Let me see if you would not do it for twenty dollars. I'll give you twenty dol lars for vour dog." Til not take it." "You will not? Here! let me Bee if this will not tempt you to a lie." I added the student, producing a : small bag of half dollars, which he ! built up nAo email piles on the ta ble. Josh was sitting by the table, with his hat in his band, apparently unconcerned. "There," added the student, "there are twenty dollars all in silver; I will give you that for the animal !" Josh quietly raided his hat to the edge of the taide, and as quick as thought scraped all the monev into it except one halt dollar, and then exclaimed "1 won't take your twenty dollars ! Nineteen and a half is as much as that dog is worth ; he is your prop erty." A tremendous shout from his fel low students clearly showed to the would be wag that he waa complete ly sold, and that he need not look for sympathy from that quaraer, so he good naturedly acknowledged himself beaten. It was Josh who originated the phrase that is now a natural expres sion "The business end of a wasp," atid when he said ti a lady, "it is Setter to be laughed at for not being rnirried than to be unable to laugh Iwoause rou are." it seems to me he uttered a sentence, to use one of his own expressions, "'bulging out with first-cNss wisdom." Jo.;h Billings was once on a pas-s-i.yr train bound for his old home st lAuesborougii, Massachusetts. On the train were several commercial travelers, who, to while away the time, proposed a game of whist A fourth man was wauted, and a ccn '.ietuun sitting near was requested to t:'k" a hand. " No ; 1 do not play, but there is an old fellow who is a capital play er; try him" pointing to the 'old fellow,' wbo eat demurely on the seat in front "Hood player, is he?" said the commercial man. " Then we'll have some fun with old hayseed " ; and accosting the quiet, farmer-like pas senger the young man, whos-e cheek was his fortune, blandly said: " My venerable friend, we would; like to have you take a hand in a game of cards with us, just to while away the time. Will you oblige us ?" Looking the young man in the face a moment ' Old Hayseed ' an swered, "Ya-as, we'll bl there in about three hours." "You don't understand, my friend : we want you to take a hind-" " Ya-as, the stand o corn is very good oncommon handsome." The commercial man was anney ed. "Speak a little louder," sug gested the gentleman in the seat be hind ; he is somewhat hard of hearing. " My friend !" shouted the young fellow, " will you take a hand in a game ?" Ya-as, game is oncommon plen ty ; all you want is " " Oh, go to the devil 1 You're as deaf as a post !" and the man of cheek subsided, amid the laughter of hi6 companions. When LaDes borough was reached 01d Hayseed arose to depart, when he quietly handed his card to the com meres af man, who eat glum in his seat, and in a particularly comical way remarked : " Young man, when yoa travel on your cheek don't get hav-eesd in your eye. See r The voung fellow glanced at the card. The superscription was 'Josh Billing!.' Josh got off the train, the man of cheek had to find a seat in anotbet car to escape the 'run' on him by his companions. A Campaign I but Failed. From Mark Twain's "Private His tory f a Campaign that Failed," in the December Century we take this incident : For a time life was idly delicious, it was perfect ; there was nothing to mar it. Then came some farmers with an alarm one dav. They said it was rumored that the enemy were advancing in our direction.from over Hyde'- prairie. The result was a sharp stir among uu, and general consternation. It was a rude awak ening from our pleasant trance. The rumor was but a rumor nothing definite about it : bo, in the confu sion, we did not know which way to retreat Lyman was for not retreat ing at all in these uncertain circum stances, but he found that if he tried to maintain that attitude he would fare badly, for the command were in no humor to put up with insubordi nation. So he yielded the point and called a council of war to consist of himself and the three other officers ; but the privates made such a fuss about beinc left out that we had to allow them to be present. I mean ; we had to allow them to remain, lor ; .1 .. ,nri Ho. , .j. j - ; how true this was, and how wise; so Lyman got a great many compli- ! meats. It was now deemed mai we I, wa8 after dark by this Ume, and ; as we could not know how soon , knQW Lqw 80QQ the enemy might arrive it did not seem best to try to take the horses and j things with us, so we only took the iguns and ammunition and started at once. The route was very rough i and hilly and rocky, and presently (the night grew very black and rain Ix'gan to fall, so we had a trouble some time of it, struggling and stum bling along in the dark ; and soon some person slipped and fell, and then the next person behind stum bled over him and fell, and so did I the rest, one after the other ; and men liowers came wun ine Keg oi powder in his arms, while the com mand were all mixed together, arms and legs on the muddy slope, and so he fell, of course, with the keg, and this started the whole detachment down the hill in a body, and they landed in the brook at the bottom iu a pile, and each that was undermost pulling the hair and scratching and biting those that were on top of him ; and those that were being scratched and bitten scratching and biting the rest in their turn, and all saying they would die before they would ever go to war again if they ever not out of this brook this time, and the invader might rot for all they cared, and the country along with him and all such talk as that, which was dismal to hear and take part in, in such smothered, low voices, and such a grisly dark place and so wet, and I the enemy may be coming any mo ! ment. The keg of powder was lost, and the guns, too ; so the growling and complaining continued straight along whilst the brigade pawed around the pasty hillside and slop ped around in the brook, hunting for these things ; consequently we lost considerable time at this; and then we heard a sound, and held our breath and listened, and it seem ed to he the enemy coming, though it could have been a cow, for it had a cough like a cow ; but we did not wait but leu a couple of guns be hind and struck out for Mason's again as briskly as we could scram ble along in the dark. But we got lost presently among the rugged lit tle ravines, and wasted a deal of time finding the way again, so it was after 9 when we reached Mason's stile at last : and then before we could open our mouths to give the countersign several dogs came bounding over the fence, with great riot and noise, and each of them took a soldier by the slack of his trousers and bepan to back away with him. We could not 6iioot the dogs without endan gering the persons they were attach ed to ; so we had to look on helpless as what was perhaps the most mortifying spectacle of the civil war. There was light enough and tosparo for the Masons had now run out on the porch with candles in their hands. The old man and bis son came and undid the dogs without dilliculty. ail but Bowers'; but they j coutau i unio ins clog, they ditln t know his combination ; he was of the bull kind, and seemed to be set with a Yale time-lock ; but they got him loose at last with some scalding wale;, of which Bower's got his share, and returned thanks. Peter son Dunlap afterward made up a fine natae lor this engagement, and also for the nigbt march which pre ceded it. but both have long ago faded out of my memory. An Kocrntric Port a Cabin. "The Cabin," Joaquin Miller's I house in the ouukirU of Washing- ion. Dears many evidences of hav ing been conceived by an eccentric mind. It is surrounded by 6tumps of immense trees firmly imbedded in the ground, which clearly never grew there. The "Casual Observer " was there once and asked Mr. Miller where these stumps had come from. He said Le had brought them from California. He wanted to have his house surrounded by all the accom paniments of a log cabin in the rocky mountains. They were poet ic, he eaid, and helped inspiration. Another curiodtj is aa old-fashioned well near the cabin, with a long pole with a weight on tbe end to give a dip to the bucket The well is a deep and a large one. " I brought the pole from California, too." 6aid the " Poet of the Sierras.'' Graphic. N'Mhiog Slow ib Ttaia. Slowness is not a desirable quality in these business times.

What is my opinion of a pretty woman's face f It is about the weak est recommendation she can have, when you get down to the real worth of it ; but for the ordinary uses of society, such as winning popularity, attention, and a husband it probably takes first place, ilen are just as big fools about a pretty face as women, and women are too silly for anything. We hardly live a day that we don't hear of women undergoing all sorts of torture to im prove their beauty, even when they have a very fair amount of good looks to start on. I was just reading yesterday of one who had a freckle doctor take all of the skin off of her lace with some kind of medicine iu order to remove the harmless little specks. I am glad tosay she is dis figured for life. Every time she looks at herself now Ehe will see a monument to her folly, and if she has any sense at all she will learn that something besides beauty of face is requisite to give her true btau ty. It doesn't seem to occur to a nirltbat the supeificial beauty ol face is not warranted not to fade, even though she sees every day the disegreeably homely faces of women who in their youth were considered beautiful. That women thus place such value upon a pretty face is nut a compliment to tne men for whom they care most to be preity, because it is an onen admission mat men haven't any more sense man uiey have, and injustice to my sisters, I confess that they are right in their conclusion the men are not any better finished and lurnished in their skulls than the women are. If you will look, however, among the mar ried women of the land you will dis cover that homely women are about as successful in winning husbands as the others, and their homes and children are better evidences than anything else, as to which class take the gate money. All the talc in the worid will not change public opinion on this matter, but there is some comfort in being able to let tome body know that on the outskirts of the crowd ol beauty worshipers mere are a few who are heterodox ei.ough to know the difference between shadow and substance. Care ol Cellar. A great mistake is toinetinies made in ventilating cellars and milk houses. The object of ventilation is to keep the cellars cool and dry, but this object often lails of being accom plished by a com won mistake, and instead, tht cellar is made both warm and damp. A cool place should never be ventilated, unless the air admitted is cooler than the air within, or is at least as cool as that, or a very little warmer. The warmer the air, the more moisture it holds iu suspension. Nece.-sarily, the cooler the air, the more this moisture is condensed and precipi tated. When a cool cellar is aired on a warm day the entering air be ing in motion appears cool ; but as it fills the cellar, the cooler air with which it becomes mixed chills ;t, the moisture is condensed, and djw is deposited on the cold walls, and may often be seen running down them in streams Then the cellar is damp, and soon becomes unruldy. To avoid this, the windows should only be opened at night, and late the last thing before retiring. There is no need to fear that the night air is unhealthful it is as pure as the sir of midday, and is really dri-r. The cool air enters the apartment during the night, and circulates throuch it The windows should be closed before sunrise in the morn ing and kept closed and shaded through the day. If the air of a cellar is damp, it may be thoroughly The polar current nassing through dried by placing in it a peck ol j Labrador and Newfoundland a'p fresh lime in an open box. A peck ( pears t0 tiect the gulf stream from of hrae will absorb about seven i the shorts of the United .States and pounds, or more than three quart- of jthe British Provinces, interposing a water, una in mis way a cenar or a ; milk-room may soon be dried, even in the hottest weather. A bushel of lime absorhes twenty-peven pounds of water, and etill appears as a dry powder. In this condition it will be very useful to spread over thegarden or lawn, or around fruit trees, or it may be useful for white wash. This precaution is ofler nec essary in the dairy, because of the prevalence, where air is damp, ot mildew and the various forms of mould. The orance and red kinds of mould especially, which some times form upon the cream, hnve a most injurious effect upon the but ter. A MiniNter titoned In the btreet.

The iron gates that swing between the pillars of the western gateway to the old Morovian Cemetery at New Dorp,5tattn Island, are closed every nicht at G o'clock, and four cf Pink- erton's detectives, armed with heavy j navy revolvers, take the place of j three similarly armed men wno uur- ing the afternoon have been on guard at the tomb cf William H. Vander bilt But the four men who patrol the cemetery grounds are not the only men on guard. Others are concealed in the bushes around the tomb, while the roads on either side of the gate are wtll watched, cur ing the day the guard is less numer ous than at night, but no precautions are relaxed. During the three stormy days fol lowing Mr. Vanderbiit's burial the detectives were obliged to depend on their rubber coats for shelter from the driving rain. Yesterday, how ever, two sentry boxes were put in position near the tomb. The. niche in the vault in which the coffin of the dead millionaire is placed is con nected with an electrical alarm, and even if a tunnel could be driven to the tomb any attempt to remove the body or any tampering with the wires of the alarm would be made known immediately at the head quarters of the detectives. A registering alarm clock has been placed near the gate of the vault, and at short intervals the giurd is required to register its presence at the tomb. No attempt to remove the body is expected, in view cf the precautions taken to prevent it, but the watch over the tomb will be maintained in the same manner un til the mausoleum is finished. Wild Beasts in inula The wild-beast pest but disappears in liritish India. slowly There is, however, a slight decrease in the lo.-s of liie horn the biles of wild animals and venomous snakes The numbers are 22,'Mo for 'S'A and 22, 42o for 'Si. The numbers repre senting those due to snake bites are 20,007 and 10,020 in the two jears respectively. The reported loss of cattle amounted to 40,072, again t 47,478 in the previous year. Ol these, 47,044 are said to have been caused by wild animals, and 1,723 by snakes. Tigers and leopards are shown to have been about rquaily destructive, having killed 10,0s0and 19,000 head of cattle respectively. In the number of wild animals des troyed there was a satisfactory in crease from 1O.S00 in the previous year to 2-1,775. The destruction of poisonous snake3 is enormous, but the numbers have declined from 4127S2 to 380,061. Wherever the system i f rewards has been pursued. if.e injures nave snown a satisiaciory increase, although it naturally hp pens thiii here and there a too ad venturous snake killer pays for his daring with his life. Flower Figment Hansen, a German chemist, finds that the colors of fruits and tlowers are furnished by a very small num ber cf pigments, which he classiiies into three groups : First, red ; sec ond yellow, and third, blues and violets. He omit-! chlorophyll green, because it is roinparatirely rare in tlowers. Orange is produced by a thickening of a deposit of the fun damental yellow pigment, the color ing matter beirg the same in the rind of an orange as in a yellow but tercup.
