It is, bcrcrcvcr, as ft stroot husKir Lt that cabby iH.-playn to raost advan tage hi natural i.ifts.; and it no exag geration to say tLat he irrer mimtea an cpportanity for turning his taitnt V g-onl account. One mem bur of the nus.wus being1 ehaffod etice In regard to his baldness. I was always baid," replied cabby. "Cos why? My mother 'ad t-o often to put tat: on the Vd an' tar: 'Well done, Sara, my boy" bo she wore nil my 'air off." Araia. a 'bus horse Lad fallen down on the slippery asphalt in Oxford btrcot, and for a time traflie was great ly impeded. Just then cabby came along on the off side, and took iu the sit uation at a glance. Addressing himself to -the policeman iu attendance, and pointing -with l;is whip to the prostrate tteed, he said: "Why don't yer take 'is name and address, sir'.'" A wordy contest between cabby and his fure i.'ciioraUy ends in tho discom fiture of the latter and the amusement of the onlookers. On one occasion two iniddh-ae-ed ladies of sour and miserly aspect had en'Hed a cab to take them to the Koyal acadeicy. In discharging the tirivcr, in tho presence of a throng of people, they handed hiui his fare in sixpences and tlirce-pi-i:m pieces. He couutol theia can fully, aud in reply to a tartly uttered ijuestion by oue of tho ladies, answered: "Well, no marm, it aiu't rL'ht- Hut as ye must 'ave been a Ion time saving up for this ycre liaunual treat, I won't be hard ou ye;" at w hieh the two ladies hurried oif, amid the ill-suppressed laughter of the sightseers. 0 a another occasion, a "hansom" drew up at tins entrance of a well known place of entertainment in the Strand. A gorgeously appareled masher alilitL-d, and. baviny assisted cm', a lady who accompanied him, handed tiu driver the exact le-al fare. Cabby looked at it for a few seconds, turned it over in his hand, ar.d then iu loud hut benevolent tones exclaimed: "'Ain't you an' the lady In-tter get in ngaiu, sir. uu1 'ave yer money's worth'.' I could 'ave dono yer auot.ier twenty yards for this," he ad-led, and giving another look at the coin, expressive of the utuust contempt, he slo.viy arranged his kuee clotli and drove away. In the way of satirical humor, the following will require adeal of beating. A "hansom" was being driven along a leading thoroughfare at a pretty smart pace, when another cab coming from the opposite direction ran i.itj it with ju.-,t siwiicieut f-.ireo to lodge the collid ing horde's head on the bacli of the oth er hort-e. The expected outburst of strong ad jectival language did not take piaje; but instead the dri-.-er of the hansom that Lad been run into sat still, and, with " 'Whoring P' liiene.-s, observed to tho other tu-ivcr: "When yo.ir oss arc seen all Y- wants to see acrou; my 'oss's back. p'r'apn V'll j et djwn. lint, bless yer 'art, there's, no hurry." It is always amazing to listen to the tr.lp!r.:ro;:s e.vlia;ige of evmpliuu uta between cabby and a 'busman, who ia ort.i sin:! ;. ;.;!;.-clever a,', ropurtoo to ca'.ibc t::LiU', it: l-i;:t3 At I i W re coil c.: h.?3 own head. 11. -rr- is h ea:- ti point: One alteinoon a wcr.twar l-g, i:ig 'bu-, picked up a lady aud geijtlcmuii rkrht out of the very hands of cabby ia T'ijoadil'y. In puiiiug ep, the 'bus very nearly came t.' gtk f. gainst a heavy van. This was tl;e Jehu's chance. "You're a nice sort of party to 'ave charge of the 'eds of families, you are!" he shouted to the 'bus driver. "Why didn't you bring yer mother out to 'elp ye 'old tho sses on their foot'.'" Like a lightning flash came the retort: "ISring my mother out. indeed, while there's such faces as yours knock ia' about the streets'. Not inc". I don't want to 'ave the old 'ooman frightened to death. Sue's been too good a mother to me."' STOLEN BY A CHICKEN. A Vul outdo fjium nil Fount! lu the Craw uf u iica. Some time ngv, k.-.vs the New York Journal, the household of a gentleman weil-Unov.-a iu uommereial circles of (Jravenhur:;t, Or.t., was very much np set by ti'.e 1 -sd of a valuable diamond rinrr belongi.'.pr to a giiest a lady from Mew York, uspiei-m at once lcll on a Servant, who was employed as house maid, but V.pon her continued and vurn Cbt denial of the theft she "as retained, as the jer.tieinan, from a sense of ju ti.'c. did not wi.sh to disouiu'e her on mere suspicion. A few tlayi after the riag disappeared it was fou:.d .-.ader the lai'.y's window, v. i'.h the solitaire stone, however, mis iny, havin;; been pried out of the stt tiafj. It was supposed that the thief Lad reiiiovcd the diaoaoad to keep It fxoia belli r identili'd. The iay:.tery was solved, however, re ccntly, in a rnoi.t unexpected manner, for. ia cleaning a chicken f or dinner the cooli di.,coVvrcd a small round object in its craw, which, oa bcinj cleaned, was found to be the missing diamond. The supposition now is the riu fell from the lady's hand while she was in bed, iud the clothes be in; shaken next morn oi;,p. it fell from theia into the yard, whtre it was found by the hen, which, jechitiiT the stone from the setting', wallow ei it. AFFECTED 6V POLITICS. Curloui ETcct of Tjlltlcal Eirltrmtnu n tiiw Mnrk:- ni 1Iittttir f I'ar!. An observant lVu-iaian once said that he never permitted a mushroom or a shrimp to be e.tten in Lis house during periods of political excitement, because at such times the attention of t'ae sn-irketmen was diverted from their 1 'ithnate avocation and poisonous fuaji and unlit Crustacea were per mitted to lind a place with the whoie s mo delicacies. According to statistics published by the Assistance lublkrae in Tai-is there are other thinps besides mushroom aud shrimps affected by poi-tics, r.nd that t!:ere is a curious bond of sympathy between polities and the box oilloe of theaters. In the stormy times of lS-lSthe annual receipt i.-;a the Paris theaters and concert ;:Tcs were oaly S1,10'J,030; ia 1S53, how-ev.-r, they were 3:,"00,000. The Crimean war caused a falling- off of 510,000; but the exposition year, 1S55, r-i.-ed the receipts to i.S0J,0J0. In lo'o and the receipts were S-,540,-0 )0 each, but they fell in lSCi, the year of the Italian campaign, almost S100, 0 )j low. r. In the exposition year, 1907, the theaters took" iu J i. 400,001); in 1S73. fJ.CiiO.OjO; in ls(3y, So,040.000. In 1670, with the plebiscite in May and the declaration of war in summer, but td,G00.0;x was received. In 1S71 even this shrank away to S1,1'2S.000. In 1S73 the clearing of the political atmosphere wa-s indicated by the rise of receipts to S-V-MO.OOO and in ISTG to $4,3:o,oco. The parliamentary troubles and the elcc ti o.s of 177 brought anut a falling off of 1 1 ; 'J.ui.j, but th-j world's fair of 1678 caused t.n enormous ineivaxe to Ssl30, 0J0. For the four or five years lefore 13'i7 the re ;eipta were aV.ut S",,000,COO annually. Then the XSnulan-er intriirue. bent them down t 4,0W,0'jO and in lScd tr s l,.V)0.000.

TiJr tumhiif to hiia with Citizen liiviere, who was to pcrfuria the operation, we perceived an enormous lower limb, enormous from the unusual amount of swelling-. Manipulating the limb, we came across a hard swelling, which we took to Ih caused by a prape-shot ball hxljfed in the limb. Our astonishment was trro"t' when we found that an in cision of five or six finders' breadth was sufficient to extract this enormous foriLjn body, which on being' pot out turned cut to be a Prussian ball weih iny no less than thirteen pounds. How could a mass of this size have j-.ist the amount of force necessary to lo.l in a thih and not pass through it? This pro blent I leave to natural philosophers, Lut I admit it to be alau.it necssary to have eeu'sueh things to believe them. Of course there was nothing for it but to operate oil this poor fellow or leave him to certain death; we therefore iinpntateil hi-ii up. When we had Un shed he asked if it was done, and on oein,' told that it was he cried out loud y: 'Lon;; live the nation'."

At that moment I was cni'jt' 1 amputating the limb of a soldier. As I was awinj the bone amid the general confusion caused iy tl'.e hrst shock a second ieeurred which brought down tiie wlu;le i;f a lass sky HiTlit over the patient and myself.

When 1 hail finished the operation he cried: Vive la rcmiblluue" " FLOV1NG If4 WARD. tnteretftinx Phenomenon n tli laiiuid of Cf-pliulnia There is an interesting- instance of water flowing inward from the sea. It is found on the island of Cephulonia. in the Ionian sea, west of tJwe-ee. The phen- tir-n:n oceiirs on the So;ill:".ve:t tide of the island, near the sm:ill town and port of Arjostoii. saysoldthwaic's CieogTuphieal Magazine. Two streams flow iit a .diort distance from one an other siivurht into t'.ie sea for a few yards and tiie'.i follow dilferent couri-cs. One turu.i at riIit angles and runs for som' ways parallel with the shore and tiu.v to it. Tl.ch it turns a'aiu toward the sea, and running, of cJiirse. deejer and deeper, doubles completely under itself, thus forming a bxip. aud Cnaily parses out d i-i0"ht deep down in a land ward direction. In its course it turns two llourmills, which will jive an idea of the strcnth of the current. There is no tide iu tiie sea here, and the flow of the Su.lt water brook is perfectly steady and continuous. The ether stream disappears in the ground in a sLniiar way. T::is curious pheno'inenon ha.- not at traeted much attention because Arjros tc'.i is not on oue of the summer totirist routes. No one knows what beco:u. of this water, but it probably flow:; t some Fubterranean reservoir, and it may have something tj do with the earthquakes thut ovcur in that neigh borhood once in a long- w Lile, or pos sibly it feeds some distant volcano, for. as i- well known, the most fronerally aecepted theory of the cause cf volcanic eruptions is that they are due to steam genera tod from water admitted through cracks in the earth's crust or in some other way. TO CE TAKEN WITH SALT. It is said oysters ten inches long- art found in Xew Guinea. A c.vi.i-iiEADED eagle that measured nine feet from tip to tip was bhot at Ocosta, Wash., a short time since. A swan- was killed in Trinity county, Cal., recently, whose wing5 measured seven feet when spread out. It weighed sixteen pounds. Titnr tell you of pemniums in Cali fornia that grow so tall that you have to go up into the window of the second story to gather the flowers. And a woman in Michigan lias a geranium four feet and Cve incP.es high. The San Diego (Cal.) Sun tells of a monster black bass taken with hook and line recently near that pirt. It weighed three hundred and eighteen pounds and the catcher was forty-two minulcs La getllng the fish alongside a steamer. A Xetv ITaven oyster grower reports that his dredje brought up cn oyster with atdicll eleven and a half inches long, the other day. Snch an tyster as that, says the Norwich Uulletin, can never be put in with other oysters and sold by thequart. He sliould be retailed at s 5 much a yard. A HEAR which weighed three hun dred and seventy pounds was killed by Solomon 1 l'erry, of Roneevcrte. V.'. Ya., who had followed the animal back and forth over Sassafras mountain for thirty-one days. The bear killed eleven dopj The bear's hide showed twenty seven bullet wouiids. IIowakii Colemas, a farmer's boys of Little Eritcdn, Lancaster county. Pa., caught in a steel muskrattrap reevntly, it is reported, a fine fish of the bass species, which on measurement wra found to be thirteen and one-half inches long, and one pound six ounces in weight. The creek had risen during the night and the water flowed over the trap. The Wicked Bottom-Tin. A every one knows, in the early days of Methodism a considerable degree of strictness was maintained in regard to "tho wearing of jewelry or costly attire. An eminent divine of that church gives an amusing incident. A preacher had just gone t his new charge, and was in the midst of his ser mon, when a woman rose and went out, slamming the door with unneces sary violence. Of course, he r-upposcd he hud said something which gave offense; but, on making inquiries, lie learned that the woman left because 'the minister wore a bosom-pin." The fun of it was that he had driven to the service over bad road:, and one drop of Lu'id had settled on hU immaculate thirt bosom, deceiving the tender con science of the good slater. Wide Awake.

New York Is disting"ji-b-d evory sr-a- on far its monster masquerades and fancy balls. In epiteof r'v. niUtic. tlo era and pay costumes tliose ir.iliierinK4. If we aro to believe the rf port-, of tn.uiy WHO "assist" at thorn, are at once dr.-ury and disjTUhtinjj. TLo multituJci of tnix-it kingT., knights, duchesnf, soaraiiiouhs. pickwicks, cardinals, Indians, clont.. columbinc-s. pantaloons, hidaljjoi, sail ors, punchlnellos, Cowor-ffirls and what cot who meet upon a common icrf-l upon these occasions are nothing' more than promenading and pryraiing dammie-t. says the New ork Ledor. Th wor. l may be a sta.?e, but tbtse ladies anl gentlemen show very clearly that all the men and women are nt players not one In five hundred of them having the slightest Idea of personating the character whose outer busk be or she assumes. These monster balls are .aid to bo principally remarkable fur three impofc kibillties, riz: the iiupossibiiitity of danrinfr on account of the crowd, the impossibility of pettinjj any . refresh ments without fighting for them and the impossibility of ohtainir.ff access to the dress: r.y-rooms oxo'-pt h.y f rce rf arms. Fifteen dollars for a ticket and one hundred dollars for a cvstaroe may not be too much to pay fr Loura of diacomfcrt, bnt by ridir. in the city railroad or elevated cars for the aamo length of timo you can c-t shove-i, jammed and bustled about &lraot ad thorouphly for much leas money, and yon needn't pay any thing extra for oostumo either. THE COBWEB PARTY. A Mew aad I'nlqiM (hat atnd How It Ia The followinfr description of the "cobweb party" in given by a writer in the New York Star: A central point in a house is selected, 6ay the chandelier ia the front parlor, and to this a number of utrincs are at tached, according to the number of puests who have been invited to take part in the frame. There may be twenty-five, or fifty, or even more. Then these strings are twisted atmut the chairs, around table lcps, through key holes, down-btairs into the dininjr-room, out to the kitchen, upstairs aain into the bedroom, and. in fact, all over the bouve. These strincs matte lh pnlmib. At tho end of each w a prize. wiich aoti a a stimulant to the guest, to f ach f whom a string assigned, to follow bis or br-r thread to ius termination through it", rrany devious and provokir.jr inti r twininys. In Chicago the cobweb party has hr-conie po popular that men are em ployed to prepare bouses when on i aiinoun-d, and it sorr:ii:vs takes thro days to pet a larc h.u.o ready. Wben the tfucsw pt- t-o f(.llowincr tin the strings there is plenty of fun, a.-i th'-y meet in all pnrts of tho house, cr-:s and recross eab other's path. ? i their feet tangled up in tho threads, and hare a gteat many funny experi ences.
