BLOOMSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7,
Idiotio Oommonplaoos,
DREARY CHESTNUTS THAT ONE
OBMOED TO HEAR EVERY HAY.
Tim
IS
From tho Boston courier.
Tills is about tho timo of year when
tho idiot of tho commonplace comes
aloug with smiling face and outstretch
ed hand and says: "Hello, old man,
have you got homo againt" How sur
prised ho would bo if his friend should
say: "No, 1 havo not got home ynt, 1
am null at iiur Harbor. lio would
bo surprised because ho would sco the
idiocy, tho absoluto lunacy of his un
meaning though well-intentioned com
monplace Tho fact is that most of
our popular forms of salutation nro
meaningless and often silly. They do,
howovcr, manifest tho speaker's cor
dial and kindly spirit; and it would bo
churlish to resent thvm. liut it must
bo nd milled that many o? theso greet
ings nro almost as hard to bear as a
"dead cut'' would bo. Mo man likes to
bo sliirhtcd by an acquaintance, but an
idiotio commonplnco is very depress-
inc to most person?, it reveals a pov
erty of tho mind, a leanness of thought
that is very like n wet blanket in its
effect. "Hello, mj dear boy," said one
of tliceo cheerful idiots) on tho deck of
a Whito Star steamer, one day out of
Hew York, "going to Europe!" "No,'l
was the calm reply. "I am going to
Skaneatele." Similarly, a pale-faced
man emercini: from his berth after
two dayB of seasiokness on a San
Francisco and Honolulu packet ship,
was asked if ho was going to the Sand
wich Inlands. "No," was tho ead
reply, "1 am noinc to walk back."
OI couree, when a mau a9ks "llow
do you dot" ho does not expect nny
other answer than tho usual conven
tional, "How do you dot" This by
way of passing. If tho interlocutors
havo time, tho saluted man will pro
bably say, "Very well, thanks, how are
youV And that settles it. How sur
prised a man would be if, in answer to
conventional conversation, his friend
Bhould say. "1 am not very well my
self. I did not sleep very well last
night; too ranch nutmeg in that last
tumblerful, ailil I havo a "uch of gout
in my loft lec, and tho third tooth in
my back upper jaw has troubled mo
these two days,1' and to on. Nobody
is expected to give full report of his
health when a brisk "How d'yo doT ' is
flung at him. Equally conventional
is tho "How do you find yourselff so
much affected by tho off-hand and
humorous. But tho man who should
reply, "Thank you, I haven't lost my
self," would very properly bo voted i
boor, or at least, "too smart." As for
tho poor creatures who ask, "Is thin
hot enough for you?" or "Is this cold
enough for you?" in tho midst of a sum
mer's heat or winter's cold, only cor
rectiouary discipline is available for
them.

"lie, ha, ha-a-a 1" of a laughing jack

It was almost as though some ma

ill luck, ho moodily told himself, as
crouched beforo thu blaze, he sat wait
ing for his tea to "draw.
l et Tom had not seemed to deserve
ill fortune, if thcro was any truth in
tho old saws about pluck and persever
ance. Moro than a.ycar before be had quit
ted tho worn out down east farm whore
ho had patiently toiled for his miserly
uncle sincu ho was left orphaned and
penniless by the death of his parents.
Ho had no wild visions of finding a
great fortune ready mado to his hand.
Ho expected to work for what ho did
succeed in getting.-
But tho rolling stone thus far Lad
gatherod no moss. Ho had sought
work in largo cities, but his ignoranco
ot city ways, his lack ol references,
and his shabby clothing wero all
against him.
Then ho thought to try a now conn
try, and worked his passage to Lon
don in a sailing ship. There, to his
surpiiso, ho found things ten times
worse.
From London ho shipped as ordi
nary seaman, at two pounds a month,
for Melbourne, Australia. Thero he
was robbed of his scanty wages on tho
seuuuu ingui uuur ms. arrival. Ay
moro accident ho got a chance to drive
a supply team to iiallarat, and Irom
Ballarat ho had drifted to tho Magoari
digRings, ninety miles to tho west
ward.
Twenty years beforo, there had been
rich finds in this vicinity, and in thoso
palmy days tho digging was of the
most hasty and superficial kind. In
tho.greed lor gold, men dug awhile in
one spot, and if unsuccessful, deserted
for another. And in a "nuggcty"
country not a foot of soil would bo
left unturned.
So a small colony of miners had lo
cated at Magoari, and here Tom Hor-
ton made bis first essay at gold hunt
ing. Ono and another of tho friendly
diggers contributed somothing to his
simple outfit. They helped him repair
halt-ruiued shanty, and having taken
possession of an abandoned claim closo
by, Tom went to work with his usual
energy

This was quito a concession on the
part of Mr. Ucelish, and Tom was ad
vised to take up with it. But indeed
ho hnd no other resource.
Until he
was lucky enough to make moro than
he had been doing, ho had no money
to liiro another shanty, and nil the rest
of thu old claims wero taken up.
' very won, ho nnaiiy said, antl
without being invited Black Mike pro
ceeded to help himself liberally to
Tom's tea and "damper."
It soon became evident that Mr.
Deelish's idea of working tho claim on
halves differed essentially from tho
usual method. That is to say, Tom
did most of. the' work and halved tho
scanty proceeds with his now partner,
who spent most or his time smoking
and drinking brandy obtained "on
tick" nt tho canteen.
"If you don't liko it you can leave,"
hu said, whenever Tom' spiritedly ex
pressed his views on tho subject. And
as Tom's luck crow poorer, ho oould
not save enough to help him got even
as far as Ballarat. So ho stayed.
Perhaps becauso tired of inaction,
Black Miko finally took an industrious
fit. Working vigorously at ono end of
tho claim, while Tom plied pick and

From tho Worcester (Mass.) Telegram.
I .Yesterday afternoon a colored mnn
was taken ill on tho common and
would havo fallen but for tho timely ns-
slstaneo of two bystanders. Tho man
had been wandering about tho common
sinoo morning and had been noticed on
account of tho peculiar way in which
ho carried Ills head. ItUiung toward
his right shoulder, nnd lie seemed to
tako no pains to pud it into tho posh
in which people commonly carry their
heads. Whon ho had been nssis'.od to
a soat ho fainted, and when ho regain-
od consciousness ho clutched at his
throat, loro away his oollar and said
appcalingly: "No, nol My God!
Not acainl" Tho humano person who
had remained by his sido took him tn
a restaurant and saiv him properly fed.
It was in a burst of gratitudo and con
fidence at being so well treated that
tho colored man told a talo so utterly
marvelous as to bo utterly unworthy
of crcdonco wero it not corroborated
by known facts.
It was sitting in tho oommon after
he had dined that ho said: "I havo
had troublo with my neck and been
subject to fainting spells ever sinco I
was hanged in Arkansas. '
The expression was startling enough
to mako any ono think tho man was
crazy; but ho was circumstantial as to
detail of timo and place, antl it is a
well known fact thai n negro was
legally hanged threo years ngo in
Arkansas for assault on a whito wo
man, and afterward recovered con
sciousness twenty minutes after tho
drop of tho old-fashioned platform gal
lows fell, and tho body was given by
tho Bhcriff to the father of tho youus
man, who, with somo friend, was wait
iug near by with a wagon. It was tho
intention to tako him to tho settlement,
whoro ho formerly lived, and bury him
there. This settlement was fourteen
miles from the county scat, at which
ho hanging took place, and was
through a lonely piece of country.
Whon tho wagon was nearly at homo
tho father of tho supposed corpse and
his friends wero startled by groans
coming from under tho tarpaulin
thrown over tho supposed dead man
and his struggles to get from under it.
As soon as they had recovered from
their frigh they wont back to tho
wagon, lrom which-they had lied, and
helped tho legally dead man up, gavo
him a drink from the omnipresent jug
of whisky and took him home.
"I was locked up," ho said, "moro
than six months, but I never thought I
was going to bo hanged until the night
beforo. Then I know tho gallows was
op and I got scared. They prayed
with mo all tho time and tried to keep
me from thinking of it, but I didn't
hear what thoy prayed about! I was
too excited. 1 didn't go to sleep all
the nicbt before, and when they came
to fetch mo I was so weak I couldn't
stand up. Tho sheriff; gavo mo a
drink of whisky and then tied my el
bows behind mybaok and took me
along. I knew there wero crowds
around when I went to the gallows,
but I didn't seem to sco them. I heard
somebody singing and I joined in.
Then they puBbcd me up on tho gal
lows and "l saw the rope and got scared
again and tried to hang back, but they
pushed me along and made mo stand
up straight. I recollect their putting
the nooso on my neck tnd drawing it
up tight, but I was thinking of wheth
er they wero going to hang me, and all
at onco I dropped. I had shut my
eyes when they pulled a pieco of cloth
over my face, but I opened them then
and tried to get my hands up to tear
tho cloth off so I could sec, but all at
onco I thought somo ono hit mo a ter
rible blow on the head and I lost my
seuses. When 1 woke up 1 thought
some one was choking mo aud I tried
to get loouu but I couldn't.
Then It
seemed as if my head was bursting
and I saw awful lights before my eyes,
and my fuet and hands seemed to bo
60 heavy, I couldn't stir them. Then
great rings of all sorts ot bright colors
began at my eyes and went lurthorand
further off, growing bigger aed fainter
until I lost them. My bead felt prick
ly all over and so did my hands and
foet, and 1 couldu t breathe, and then 1
fainted. Onco I know I was being
hanged, but it was only for a second.
When 1 awoko m tho wagon 1 was
worse scared than before, and whon I
got out from under thu tarpaulin I
thought 1 had been dreaming. Then
when my neck got to hurting mo so 1
knew what was tho matter. For weeks
afterwards I could hardly swallow,
and I couldn't turn my head, and I
can't now very much. Tho cords aro
all stiff on ono sido and drawn down.''
