BILLS I'AYAULE.
Hans and Frtu were two Deutchers who lived sldo
by side,
Ilemoto from tho world, its deceit and Its pride :
with their pretzels and beer the spare moments
wero Bpcnt,
And the fruits of their labor were peace and con
tent.
nans purchased a horse of a neighbor one day,
And lacking a part of the gold-as they say-
Made a call upon Fritz to solicit a loan,
To help htm pay for his beautiful roan.
Frits kindly consented tho money to lend,
And gave tho required amount to his friend ;
Remarking his own simple language to quote."
"Perhaps It vas bedder ve make us a note."
The note was drawn up In their primitive way
"I, Hans, gets from Fritz fcefty tollars to-day"
When the question arose, the note being made,
"Vich von holds dat paper until It vas bald 7"
"You geeps dot," says Prltz, "und den you vlll
know
You owes me dot money." Says Hans : ' Dot lsh
so ;
Dot makes mo remembers I hat got to bay.
Und I prlng3 you der noto und der mone some
day."
A montb had ezptred when Hans, as agreed
Paid back tho amount, and from the debt he was
treed.
Says Fritz, "Now dot settles us." Hans replies,
"Yaw ;
Now who dakes dotbaper accordlngs by law 7"
"i geeps dot, now, ain't It 7" says Fritz, "den you
see,
I always remembers you bald dot to me."
Says Hans, "Dot lsh so, It voa now shust so blaln
Dot I knows vot to do ven I porraws again."
Miscellaneous.
TUE LION TAMER.
"That lioness will be the death of you yet
Joe."
"Pshaw I" and Joe Amberly, "the Lion
Tamer" of a large traveling circus, laughed
at the predictions of his assistant.
"You may laugh as much as you please j
but some day you will find I am right, and
that to your sorrow, though then it will be
too late."
"I have performed with all the ani
mals for some years, and never had any
difficulty."
"You forgot the one at Longtown."
"That didn't amount to much. I soon
brought them to subjection,"
"But the trouble commenced with this
same lioness."
"Yes, though it wouldn't have been so
bad if those cats of hunting leopards had
not setup a yell, and drawn the black tiger
into the affray."
"She has a devil of a temper when it is up
is the most treacherous beast I ever fed or
had anything to do with. I have been watch
ing her close for a couple of days," con
tinued the assistant, "and know she is mighty
cross-grained. So, depend upon it, you are
going to have trouble."
I don't see why more than at any other
time."
There are times and you know it, if
you will only reflect and this is one of them.
If I was in your place, I wouldn't try to
show off to-day with any extras, but just
give a common performance, and get out of
the cage as quick as I could."
"lou know what we advertised, and what
a crowd baa gathered."
"les" with a laugh; "and I know we
never have or do one half there is in the
bills. Paper is cheap, Joe,but human life is
precious. Think how poorly off you would
leave your wife and child if any thing should
happen to you, and what would become of
your wifo if anything should happen the
child ?"
"Do not mention it?"
The man who had bandied and tamed and
toyed with the savage besets as if they bad
been harmless kittens, groaned aloud at the
thought. A man of the most ardent, even
passionate nature, he bowed down in wor
ship to his wife and little girl. And that
day it bad been advertised that be would
take his child and a pail of blood Into the
cage with him.
It was a veiy daring, foolhardy project at
the best ; but how much more so when the
beasts were doubly savage and out of tem
perwhen the slightest thing night arouse
them to all their their pristine fury, and
the fierce blood of the wilderness aaert its
elf in ali Ita tempestuous wrath.
But the husbandly and fatherly emotion
was soon conquered, Tho habit of yean and
bis natural strength gave him self-reliance ;
and It would take more than idle words to
turn him from his purpose, no matter how
dangerous it might appear to others. To
this must be added the esprit de corps that
would make him take the most desperate
chances before having even the shadow of
cowardice attached to his name.
Still he could not help thinking more
deeply, perhaps, than ever before. Was
there In reality any danger? He could not
convince himself of it, argue the matter as
he would.
The old lion in the cage, though a raou
ster In slie, was Inoffensive, tame and obedi
ent. In the language of the keepers, he was
"good for nothing but to make a show and
it back ln'the corner, grind his teeth, and
growl." Besides, he was bit friend, and up
on more than one occasion had acted th
part of a peacemaker. The leopards;
pair of spotted cheetahs were scarcely to be
taken into consideration. The black tiger,
the most rare and strikingly beautiful animal
in any collcction,was ordinarily quict.though
when fully aroused not to be trifled with.
But tho lioness was the especial ono to be
dreaded and watched. She was a beast of
uncommon power, with massive arms, long
curving claws, tail litho and nervous as a
serpent, teeth sharp as needles, flexile,
treacherous, smooth, tawny skIn,yeUow eyes
that over flashed fiercely. Never, even in
her best moods, had she been submissive,
and her mildest piny was rough in the ex
treme The Lion Umcr turned from his compan
ion to go and dress for his attractive but
dangerous performance ; but before doing so
ho visited tho double cage, and mado a criti
cal examination of the beasts, who any in
stant might bo to him ns fato. There was
nothing to especially awaken fear ; and, half
vexed with himself for having been needless
ly disturbed, ho passed from tho great canvas
into a smaller compartment, and found his
wife and child waiting for him the one n
young and beautiful woman, and the other
a very fairy of n child, whose hair bung
down upon her back, as the finest and bright
est of spun silk.
"I am sorry, Joe," said the wife and moth
er, as her husband entered, "that you have
consented to so foolish a performance as the
one advertised for to-day."
"Why, May ?" and ho looked most earn
estly at her.
Because tho ordinary performance is
hazardous enough."
"Then you think this mere so?"
"I don't know that it is," she replied,
having the most perfect confidence in her
husband's ability ; "but somehow I don't
altogether fancy having Inez taken into tho
cage."
"You know my reason for consenting,
and that it would never have been given
had your assent not first been obtained."
"Certainly ; and it was very good of you,
Joe."
"That it was promised on account of my
salary being raised."
"Yes."
"And that It was to secure tho rise of
salary, so as tho sooner to accumulate en
ough to buy a littlo home against the rainy
days that may come."
"Yes, my dear Joe ; but" with a smile
"had not pride something to do with it?
That's tho curse of tho profession. Each
one is always trying to out-do the other
running risks on that account they would
not otherwise attempt."
"Well, May, I only gave my promise to
do the act onco, but even now will give it
up if you say the word. I had rather dis
appoint all tho managers and be called cow
ard by all the rabble in the world, than
cause your heart to beat with fearor'to bring
tears into your eyes,"
"No, no, Joe. Don't think I havo lost
confidence and pride in you. No, don't
think of giving it up, I suppose I am fool-
lishly nervous. But you will be careful, and
not run any unnecessary risks ?"
"My own heart would havo to be torn out
before anything should happen to our dar
ling;" and he stooped, raised tho child,
tossed her up, caught,kis?ed her, and hugged
her to his bosom,
"But yourself, Joe?"
"Oh I I'll look out for number one."
The conversation did not tend to case his
mind, and before dressing he went out and
held another conversation with his particular
attendant, and took another look into the
performing cage.
The animals were more quiet than when
he had seen them previously, tho lioness
especially appeared in a playful meod, and
with something of the load lifted from his
heart he returned, with but little time re
maining before he would be called upon to
prove his right to the proud title of Lion
Tamer.
And every inch he looked one as he step
ped in view of tho densely crowded assem.
bly. Gorgeous in his new costume, and
with a l"ok of calmness and determination
upon his face looked, with his tall and sin
ewy form, fit to grapple with and overcome
the fiercest' beasts that ever prowled amid
tho juDgles of Asia and Africa, and made
night terrible with their roaring.
A burst of applause a perfect tempest
of huzzas and clapping hands greeted him
as he swung his little girl dressed in silver
tissue, and with the gossamer wings and ti
ara of sparkling jewels around her golden
curla.tbat represent the traditional falry,upon
his Bhoulder. While looking at hla stalwart
proportions, the men thought what a dan
gerous antagonist he would be, and the
young mothers shuddered at so beautiful a
child being taken into a den of savage ani
mals.
With a graceful bow and tho dignity of a
Roman conqueror, the Lion Tamer strode
through the circle, disappeared behind the
cage, and with such rapidity as to astonish
the audience, stood within the compartment
where the huge lion was lying and the agile
leopards leaping about, and had placed his
child between the claws of the greater brute
and she was playfully toying with its shag
gy mane.
tor a time lie mauo wi leuparua itrup
about him as kittens, jump from cor
ner to corner, rest upon his broad shoul
ders, bound lightly over his extended
whip. Then he gave his attention to the
monster lion, opened his Immense jaws,
placed his arm and thrust his head between
them, raised his fairy-like child upon its
back and made it march around with her.
Then he prepared to throw tho two cages in
to one.
Let Inez come out,now,"whlspered tho at-
tendant, uneasily. "You have dono enough
already to keep your promise, and the audi
enco won't know tho difference."
"No, I will go through. Mind what :
told you, and have things ready in case
there should be trouble, though I don't fan
cy any," Then he continued aloud, and so
as to be plainly heard by every one, "Hand
me tho pail of blood."
A cold shiver, a supernatural awe ap
peared to pass through the frame of all as
the vessel dripping with crimson drops, was
given to him, and more than one asked
themselves If the man was mad to thus not
risk bis own life, but that of his beautiful
child. And when be loosened and thrust

was absolutely suspended, and their hearts

But instantly Bbe was upon her feet, lashing
her sides with her prehensible tail, drawing
back her lips so as to show her teeth, and ut
tering the deepest and fiercest of growls.
For the love of mercy, hand out your
child, Joe," said his attendant.
"Wait a moment. I shall be done very
quickly."
The crowning feat was yet to come. It
was one upon which be had bestowed much
time and upon which he prided himself
was a taoleau of wild beasts, with manhood
and childish beauty for the central attac-
tlon.
He stepped up to tho corner, led the mon
ater lion forth into the centre of the cage,
made blm lie down, placed the little girl
upon him, and stood astride. Then a shrill
whistle brought the cheetah leopards bound
ing upon his shoulders mid stand up with
paw crossed above his head, and the black
tiger erect upon his left, and throttled with
his hand. But the lioness failed to do his
bidding and take her place upon his right
She lay in the act of springing and at but a
little distance.
"Come."
There was no movement, and the whip
was raised and fell heavily upon her head,
That was all that was needed to awaken her
latent ire, and with a roar like that given
in her native forest, she sprang with almost
resistless force towards him. A sharp, sting-
ing blow on tho bridge of the nose for a mo-
ment cowed her, and she might have been I
conquered, had she not partially fell upon
and upset the pail and deluged the floor of
the cage in blood 1
Then all became the wildest commotion
tho most terrible and savage sounds. Ev-
ery beast sprung down, lapped the blood,
and then turned upon him. Even the vet-
eran lion appeared to forget the long years I
of training, and something of his young for-
eat life blazed forth.
Amberly comprehended all in an instant,
and the father triumphed over the actor. He
snatched up the now terrified and screnming
child, sprang with her to the door, thrust
her into the bands of the watchful attend-
ant, and would have followed had not the li-
oness grappled and drawn him back, rending
his shoulders with her sharp claws, and caus
ing the blood to stream over his rich dress.
Ho was fighting against most desperate
odds, knew it, backed into a corner, and
called for his irons. One, ted-hot at the end
was handed to him, but at the first stroke
the lioness sent It whirling, and her sharp
teeth almost met for a moment his thigh.
"Hand me something sharp with which I

"Come, Samson."
The old lion came forward at the words
and seemed to comprehend that something
was wrong, thrust himself between bis mas
ter and his raging mate, and when she turn
ed upon blm, sent her rolling with a blow of
his great paw,
The Lion Tamer might have escaped ; but

Watching Poitofflce Clerks.
Tho workmen engaged In converting tho
Old Tost-office building, at Liberty and
Nassau street, New York, into stores and
offices for business purposes, have made
some Interesting discoveries In the rambllig
old structute. The old "story-and-a-half"
terations, on Friday, the workmen discover-
ed that what was apparently the ceiling of
the addition to the old building was In re-
nllty a doublo floor. The rooms above wre
used by the Postmaster and his assistant
officers.
When tho workmen bad removed the
flooring, It was seen that tho concealed Bpace
was from 4 to 4 feet deep, affording amplo
room for men to move about. Passages led
entirely around the building. At very short
intervals wero found small circular holes in
which were Inverted lenses. Through these
a view of the room beneath was obtained.
Back of and above these lenses wero reflec
tors which brought before the eye of the ob
server the utmost recesses of the Post-Office.
It was evident that these three passages and
their curiously arranged miniature windows,
were used by detectives during the thirty
years of the occupation of the rambling old
building a Post-office. Through these peep
holes the work of the clerks was closely
watched. This theory was confirmed upon
subsequent investigation.
On the west side of tho building a small
attic room was found, in one corner of
which was a trap-door leading to the pas
sage just described. This room was used by
the detectives when not on watch, and was
unknown to most of the employees of the
Post-office. Connected with this room was
a Bet of speaking tubes. The tiny windows
already referred to were most numerous eter
the Money-order and Registered-letter De
partments, which a force of detectives kept
constantly under inspection during business
hours. The peep-holes, however, took in
all tho rooms, and the various clerks as well
as the thousands of people constantly going
and coming were unconsciously under scru
tiny. If a detective saw any stealing or im
proper action committed either by a clerk
or by a person not employed in the office.tbe
speaking tube at his sideconveyed a warning
at once to the attic room, and the guilty
Derson waametat the door, or tanned on
the shoulder in the interior of the office by
another detective. The closest watch was
kept upon the employees of the post-office,
and. under system of this espionage, the
number of successful robberies was very
small. The apertures through which the de-1
teative overlooked the rooms were in most
cases bo small as hardly to be visible from
the anartments below. Some of them, bow-1
ever, looked boldly down from the casement
but as the clanks In which thev were seen
were obtained from very old timber, the holes
wonld readilv be mistaken for knot-holes.
The secret of this mvsterious method of sur-
veiliance was handed down from one post-1
master to another, and the oldest and most
trusted officers of the place had no knowledge
of the constant watch over them. The dis-
covery of the double floor explains to old
Post-office clerks many cases of detection,
arrest and conviction of their fellow asaoci -
ates, which up to the present time, had been
sealed mysteries to them.
Pressing Flowers.
The Little Schoolma'am, a few days ago,
was showing the children how to press
flowers ; and sho passed around two speci
mens, in porfect condition, which were
pressed last summer in her fashion. Per
haps your Jack may as well give you a hint
of it.
Her plan U to take a sheet of thin cotton-
batting and lay tho flowers carefully on it,
covering them with another sheet, and then
putting the whole under slight pressure,
Sometimes, when the flowers nre thick, and
contain a good deal of moisture, she put
them in fresh cotton tbo next day, and after
that does not disturb them. But in press
ing nearly all the small flowers, the cotton
need not be changed at all, and not even
opened until the flowers aro preserved.
I noticed that the Little Scboolma'am's
pressed flowers had a soft, bright look. She
groups the long-stemmed ones prettily in
vases, or lays them between sheets of thin
glast, and hangs them In ber windows in the
winter, she.says. They haven't nt all the
poor, pinched, faded, flattened look of flowers
prepared in other ways.

Eighteen Yean rvlihont Sleep.
Ths man who does not sleep, Saunderi,
now resides near rarxersnurg, Virginia.
Some time in 1861 or 1862 be enlisted la
the Fourth West Virginia Volunteer! and
for several years had not slept. But It be
coming known In camp that be made sack
pretentions, Itarousod the curiosity of many
of the men and officers, and they set a watch
upon him. The colonel and many others lost
n great many nlghta' sleep in endeavoring
to entrap Saunders, but during the whole
timo that he remained a member1 of taa
Fourth he was never caught asleep. Ha
stood guard night after night, and week
after week, paid by sleepy-beaded sol
diers to take their turns, but never waa
caught napping. He hauled coal several
weeks In succession, only stopping long
enough to cat and change horses, and plowed
in the fields with five or cix stalwart men
until he wore them out completely, but nev
er seemed to tire.
During the year 1863 he went to Philadel
phia and was examined by the leading phys
icians of tho country. They sat up with hint
in relays of five, night and day, and kept up
an almost constant stream of conversation
with him, and at the terminatUn of twenty
nine days discharged him with a certificate,
but could give no explanation of this freak
of nature. Many stories of the untiring en
ergy and activity of this man are told, and
ail agreo who know him that this antlpode
of Rip Van Winklo Is the most sleepless
man they ever met.
Mr. Saunders Is now about fifty-six yean
of age, and says that ho has not known what
sleep is for eighteen years. He himself can
not account for it, and he says the change
in his physical organization occurred within
three days, and that he was never sick in his
life, and took medicino but once, and that
was when ho hod a catarrh, about thraa
years ago. Ho is a hate, hearty man, and
bids fair to live many years yet. He is con-
cientiously opposed to making a display of
himself, or no doubt long ago ho would harp
been before the public as pne of the curiosi
ties of the world.

Trials for Hersey.
We look back, in theso days, 'upon the
blunders of our fathers with pity ; but M
we turn the pages of colonial history, we
hnd a touch of manliness about the old trials
for heresy which our degenerate heresy-hunters
do not seem to posies. When Mr.
Pynchon of tho Massachusetts Colony wrote
book in which ho attempted to prove that
"Christ suffered not for us those unutterable
torments of Ood's wrath, commonly called
hell torments," the authorities deposed him
from the magistracy and publicly burned
his book in Boston Market : and then they
had the decency to appoint Mr. Norton of
Ipswich, under very handsome pay, consid
