A Just Retribution. The other day a, well-dressed Rtranger, carrying a hnnc! valle, called Into a life Insurance offlco and Inquired If the Agent was In. The agent camw for ward, rubbing his hands, and tliu stranger asked : ''Do jou take Ufa Insurance risks hero J" "Ye?, sir, glad to pee you, sir sit down, sir," replied the agent, "What do ynu think of life Insur ance, anyway?" Inquired tho stranger as he sat down and took off his hat, "It's a national blessing, sir an In stitution which U looked upon with sovereign favor by every enlightened man apd woman In America." "That's what I have always thought,' answered the man. "Does your com pany pay lu losses promptly 1" "Yes, sir yes, sir. If you were In. uured wth me, and you should die to night, I'd hand your wife a check within a week." "Couldn't ask far anything bettor than that." "No, sir no, sir. The motto of our company Is, 'Prompt pay and honorable dealing I" "How much will a $5,000 policy cost?" inquired tho stranger after a long pause. "l'ou are let's seo say thirty-five. A policy on you would cQst$H0tho first year." "That's reasonable enough." "Yes, that's what we call low; but ours Is a strong company, does a safo business, and Invests In only first class securities. If you are thinking of tak ing out a policy, let me tell you that purs is the best and the safest, and that even the agents of rival companies will admit the truth of what J say.'' "And when I dlo my wife will got her money without any troublo ?" "I'll guarantee that, my dear sir?" "And I'll get a dividend every year ?" "Yesj this Is a mutual company, and part of the profits gome back to policy holders," "And it won't cost me but $110 for a policy of $5,000. "Tl(at'B the figure, and Its as low as you can get safe insurance anywhere. Let mo write .you a policy. You'll never regret it." "Them's the blanks, I s'pose?" said the stranger, pointing to the blanks. "Yes," said the agent, as he hauled one up to him and took up a pen. "What do you say shall J fill out the application?" "No, I guess I won't take nny to day," replied the stranger, as he un locked his valse; "but If you want something that will take that wart off your nosu inside a week, I've got it right hero I It's good for corns, bun ions, the toothache, sprains ." The patent medicine man toff, A Singular Experience. We find the following In the Dover (N. II.) Enquirer: Some eight years ago a lad of thirteen, a son of Charles E. Meyers, a well known citizen of Portsmouth, while fishing from onp of the warves of that city caught a fish hook In tho fore finger of tho right hand, near the roots of tho nail, draw Ing It Into the bend of tho hook, Ills father saw at onco that the only thing to ha done was to open the fincucr on a line with tho hook and tako it out, but preferred to call In their family physl clan to do It. after looking at It for a moment tho Doctor, by a sudden twist, wrenched the hook from the fingor, minus the barb and point. The parents wero justly Indignant at such rough treatment, and insisted th.it tho hook was not al removed, whllo the boy camo near fainting from oxtreme an Kulsh, The Doctor, however, Insisted that no Inconvenlenco would result.and dressed tho finger in somp sme and safo manner and lu due time the wound ,e?,e, ' Buttl'eflieerandarm troub led him for a long time. After a year or two the lad's health had so far failed M to become a subject of serious alarm to his friends, ho belntt subject to fro quent and alarming fainting fits, and other spasmodic affections or symptoms. This slate Qf affairs continued for years with more Intensity until n year or two PRO, when the boy's health became nearly or ou,,ere8tore(li In thoSpr or 1874 the young mn, while dressing ' mieir one morning tore a pimplofrom his left shoulder, and, on examining It. he drew from the flesh the point of the hook which seven years before was Ira. onJs bld;.flDeeronU,000S,ta A dressmaker's apprentice speaks of her cross-eyed lover as the fellow whoso looks am cut bias.

When before the Judge, the man had no difficulty In proving that ho was a M. X., mlllonnire.nnd the owner of a large city property. Ills only fault was that he wore shabby clothes. This brings up a story of that scnslblo lunntlc, as they used to call tho Pjio de Grammont-Caderoussa n few years ago. This gentleman w.ts n wild blade, It H true, but yet a good fellow n uvpry penso of tho word, a grfliid seigneur, polite and kindly, but often given to eccentricities and to acts of the wildest extravagances, lie was tho early friend of Mile. Hortenso Schneider, nnd the Duke did a good deal to for her during her first yeurs upon the stage. He committed sucdo ntthe age of thirty-two. One evening a party of young men were dining at the Maison d'Or, when the Duko, gave expression to a number of democratic theories, and his comrades accused him of too great a fondness for tho people. After having answered according to his conscience, tho Due do Grammont said: "Very well, gentlemen, I will bet you that, without having any reason whatever thereof, the police will arrest me with in an hour." "Without you doing anything?" ask ed one. "Without doing anything to Justify tio arrest." "Done for fifty .louiel" As there was no time to lose, Cader ousse Jumped Into a cap and rodo to the temple and came back In tho most sorr did costumo It Is possible to Imagine Tho old, greay cap upon his head, the pantaloons In rags, the old shoes brok en at tho toes, and the greasy coat gavo him the air of a miserable. IIo black ed is face and grimed his hands, then begged his comrades to follow to wit ness the arrest. They followed him to a cafe ou tho Boulevard Polssoniere, where tho Duke seated himself at a ta ble with a sidelong, sneaking motion, and after a moment callsd to the wait er: "Garcon, bring mo a bottlo of ckam pagnel" The waiter hesitated, looked at his clothes aud then said: "But, mon bonhouime, that coits twelve francs." "Well, supposo It does, grumbled Caderousse, do you think I havn't the means of paying?' And as ho said this he drew from one of his dirty pockets a package of bank bill and laid 40,000 franks down before tho astonished waiter. The latter ran for his patron, nnd was sent nt ouce lor the sergeants de vllle, who took tho Duko Into custody upon suspicion of having soien money upon his person. The other young men lollowed, and heard a curious dialogue between tho also voyon and tho officer, the latter tayng that he was not to be taken In by such tales aud that he must explain how ho came by the money beforo M. lo Jugo There, he said; "Jonslour. I am the Due de Gram mond Caderousse. I mado a bet that tho Polloo would arrest mo without hav ing any reason tor so doing, and I have won by bet. Here aro my friends to prove It, nnd it only remains for me to thank you." Tho Duke's splendid equipage, with outriders In livery, was nlieady at the door, aud Caderousse bowed himself out whllo the Magistrate was still staring nt him In open-mouthed wonder. New York Times.
