Among the refugees who, at the time of the French revolution, sought an asylum in foreign coua tries, there was a young nobleman from the south of France, named Henri d' Albignac. He had been left an orphan at an early age, and his only inheritance was a Jittle do main that, under the most favorable circumstances, yielded him a yearly income of perhaps twothou.-ad li ancs which was little more than he re quired for his current expenses. When, therefore, t.n; dark, rainy day, he arrived in Loudon, the sum total of his ready money amounted to liule more than five thousand francs. With this sum, small as it was, had he any knowlege of trade or a thorough education, he might have earned at least a modest liveli hood; but he hail received only a common school education, and as for j his Knowledge ot agriculture, it was very inferior to that of the English farmer of the time. Hesides, he was accustomed to lead an easy life, and had luxurious habits ; it was no won der, therefore, that, before the end of the J'ear, his funds were exhausted. One morning as he sat, in no pleasant frame of mind, thinking over his condition, his landlord, anavari cious huckster, who even surpassed the majority of his uncultured coun tryman in incivility, entered the room. At first he glanced inquisit ively about the apartmeut, and then he fixed his eyes upon his lodger with a disdainful smile, nodding three or four times significantly, as he said. "It's plain enough to be seen, M. d' Albignac, that your affairs are in a pretty bail fix, and, if I might be allowed a word concerning them, I should say they will not be better till you make up your miiid to put your shoulder earnestly to the wheel." "I doubt whether that would im prove them much," replied the vouug Frenchman;"! know of nothing that would materially better mv condi tion but one or two hundred pounds sterling. "just so. .Money is what vou need "That I know very well," returned the huckster, "and as for working, ou feel yourself above it, while you have not wit enough to make money in any other way." "Sir," ried the young nwblcmau "have you come to insult me?" "Come, come," replied Cornhill, "there is no need of crying out so loud; it will not help matters any. Do you know that you already owe me five pounds " . "You will get the money," replied Henri. "I have thus far in life alwavs paitl all just claims against me, and you arc one of the last persons whom I Mioult thinkof honoring by remain ing their debtor." I shall be very lad : but when does your honor think I can touch the money ?" "As soon as my affairs arc in a better condition," said D'AIbignac modestly. ! "And till then vou propose to con-! tiuuo on increasing your debt, I suppose ?" returned the huckster. "Ob, no, to that I cannot con sent" "I think the best thing I can do is to leave your house at once," faid D'AIbignac, springing to his feet and seizing his hat: "there are other peo ple in the world besides you, and better too, I trust." "Tut! tut! Bit down again and let us talk like two sensible men," re monstrated the huckster. "You shall sec that I mean well with you." Curious to know in what way his landlord's interest in him would man ifest itself, Henri sat down aud looked him full in the face. "I need a trustworthy man to drive round and serve my customers with vegetables," Cornhill began. "Will you be that man?" "Will Iwhat! are yon mad?" cried D'AIbignac, im doubt whether he heard aright. "What else ean I do ? Nothing, that I can see," replied the huck ster, shrugging Lis fihoulders. "Think it over I will girt you till RSTAHIiTSHED, 1897. PA., WEDNESDAY, APIUL 1. 1874. to-morrow eveninp; to consitle- If you refuse, you need expect nothing more from me. And what will yon do then in ihin big city, without friends and without means. Heaven only knows! Besides, I shall ex pect you to pay mo beforo you leave my house." With these words ho left tho room. Henri remained for a while, seated at the window, considering what course to pursue in his extcrmity; then he rose ami went to a restaurant, where be was in the habit of getting his dinner. Arrived there, he took a seat at a table at which two elegant ly dressed gentlemen were already beated, and ordered some roast beef and a salad, which was all the small coins that still remained to him would pay for. The beef he found entirely, to his liking; the salad on tho contra' rr, ue pusueu aside as awsoltitt'lv un - lit to be eatca. Meantime, three more fashionable young men of the world had seated themselves at the table. They smiled as he pushed the salad, and nodded assent as he said : . "Wliat an abominable mess the' give you here under the name sf sal ad ! With us, in France, a salad is a very dlfereni sort of a thing." "Then you are a Frenchman, sir V t " w . I a a asKeu one oi me gentlemen, in a courtly tone. "Is it true that your countrymen are the adepts I have heard thev are in tiie dressing of sal ads ?" "That is one of the arts in which they arc certainly proficient," replied the Frenchman. "But the secret is, of course, not known to everv one: it is jirobablv only in the hands of professional cooks and epicures !"' "Sut at all," replied Henri; "every child with us knows how to dress a salad fit for a king. True, ou- petit crcpe is a very different sort of j vegetable from the bitter lettuce that j grows iu England. "1 fear you do our gardeners injus jtice; the lettuce they raise is good i enough, it only requires to be proper ! ly dressed." The discussion was continued at some length, when one of the Ensr- lislimen to turned D'albignac, and asked ifhe would notunder taka to prcparea salad there and then after the French manner. "Certainly! why not?" replied Henri, whereupon the waiter was :ille j, nub all the necessary ingredi ents were immediately orderetl for the dressiug of salad a la Fraccaise. Then the young nobleman went to work, answeriug meantime, the ques tions of the Englishmen with regard to his country aid his impressions of theirs. And thus it came that he told his interlocutors his own story that he was au emigre had cxhanst all his means and was at a loss to know what to do or which way to turn. In due time the salad was dressed, tasted, and pronounced superb. In deed one of the young Englishmen was s well pie aed that he insisted jetl on testifying his appreciation of I the rrencluuaas art by nresentins him with a live pound bank note. Henri very naturally objected at first to accept it, but the Englishman would listen to no excuses, and be was finally compelled to yield. At parting they took his address, and assured him that he would hear from them again. D'AIbignac returned to his lodg ings in a much better frame of mind than he had been for many days. His first step was to satisfy his im portunate landlord with thetive pounds that hail so fortunately fallen into his hands; his second was to look for other quarters. The huckster was not a little chagrined to see his ten. ant leave him, but ho made no effort to induce him to remain. "We shall see," he thought, " yon will be glad to come back to me and accept my offer if not to-day or to-morrow, then later. Keturn you arc sure to, for what can you, friendless and mon eyless, do in London?" Henri fount), in the same, iu the house of a weaver, a modest apart meut that answered his purpose. He no'v began to look diligently about for some means of earning a livelihood, and thought no more of the salad adventure uutil he was re minded of it in a manner that, fn his impoverished condition, was most agreeable. Four or Gve days bad elapsed, when one morning he received a note in which he was politely reques ted to do the writer a favor to come, on a certain da, at a specified hour to one of the handsomest mansions in (Jrosvenor square, in Order that the guests at a largo dinner party might profit by his skill in salad dressing. (Jrosvenor square in those davs was the most fashionable part of Loudon. Once favorably know in that neibgborhood, and his fame could not fail to extend throughout the city. The young Frenchman had sufficient sagacity tb see that his skill in dressing salads might be made to retrieve his fortune ;hc there fore spent the tune intervened be tween the receipt of the note and the day on which he ,vas to visit the square in making some experiments, which finally resulted to Ins entire satisfaction. He was punctual aud found tho principal ingredients for the dish he was called upon to prepare awaiting his arrival. In a little box which he carried with him he brought various condiments he deemed ncccs.-itry to enable him to acquit himself fn the best possible manner. He was en tirely successful and won the highest praise ; but what gratified him most was the liberal recompense he re ceived for his trouble, which strength ened his determination to reap what ever pecuniary advantage from his art he could. Henri's hopes , and expectations were more than realzed, t His sec ond so-called Italian salad did much more toward making him known than he had anticipated. In a very few days he received another invitation, or rather order; soon afterward another, and within a month it was not considered "the thing" at a gala dinner to offer one's guests a salad that was not dressed by the young French nobleman. And one day, not long after this happy turn in his affairs D'Abignac paid a vicit to his former landlord who, as soon as he recovered from tho surprise the young man's triumphant mien occasioned, asked, in hisbrusrjue manner. "Well, have you come to your sen ses at last ? Have you decided to accedt my proposal and peddle my vegetables for me ?" "Xo, I have not decided to peddle jour vegetables for you, but to buy them," replied D'AIbignac. "Eh, what! have you lost your wits ?" replied the astonished huck ster. "A madman would hardly come to you with so rational a prouosition," returned the Frenchman smiling "Then you are really in earliest ?" "Ay, really in earnest. True, I have no use for all that grows in the gardens that supply you, but 1 will take a very consi J. r ible portion of j'ou namly all that portion that is used i in prcparm; the various kinds of salad provided we can agree as to prices." I'll, 1 have no objections, re plied Cornhill. "A fair price and ! prompt pavments is all I ask." i A few (lavs later, the younr noble- man provided himself with a light wagon in which i:i tubs, baskets and boxes, he could take with him a sup ply of the various ingredients that en ter into the composition of the vari ous kinds of salads. Thus provided, it was an easy matter for him to serve his patrons, and it is no wonder that, in time, he came to be known throughout London as the "Salad king." After some months he took a shop and dealt in everything used in his specialty and by close attention to business, and taking advantage of every opportunity that offered, he acquired in a comparatively short time a little fortune amounting to eighty thousand francs, with which he determined to return to France. Arrived in Paris, he invested sixty thousand francs in State securities' which at that time were selling con siderably below par, and consequent ly paid him a handsome interest. With his remaining twenty thousand francs he purchased a small land es tate in Limousin which still remains in posession of his family. The story of D'Albi-rnac is vouch ed fur by the famous French epicure, ISrillat Savarin, who tells it iu his "Physiology of Taste," and says he knew the "Salad King" personal ly. Fillmore'. Pre.ltlenry. At this time some personal sketch es of the men whom President Fill more associated with himself in the management of the executive depart ment of the government may not bo uninteresting. The Buffalo Express says: On assuming the Presidency Mr. F. dispensed entirely with Mr. Taylor's Cabinet and formed a new one, which, it must be admitted by all, was much stronger than that of his predecessor in fact one of the strongest the country has ever known. At first however, he bad quite as much trouble as did Gen. Grant, in the spring of 1869. Places were of fered to James A. Pearee, Edward Bates and T. M. T. McKennan, all of whom declined. The Cabinet was finally formed of the following mem bers, who remained in it the greater part of Mr. Fillmore's administra tion. Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts Secretary of State; Thomas Corwin of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury; Charles M. Conrad, of Louisiana, Secretary of War ; William A. Gra ham, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy; Alexander H. H. Stuart of Virginia, Secretary of tbe Interior; John J. Crittenden, ofKentucky, At torney General, and Nathan K. Hall, of New York, Postmaster Gener al. Three of thcse(.Messrs Webster, Corwin and Critteuden.) were among the most prominent statesmen of the Whig party. The claim of Daniel Webster to be considered the fore most of Americans could, at that time disputed by Henry Clay alone. At the tinic of his appointment by Mr. Fillmore he was sixty-eight years old and had previously held the same post of Secretary of State in the Cabinets of President Harrison and Tyler, besides having been for nearly thirty years a leader in the Senate. Like Mr. Fillmore, he was a candi date for the Whig nomination for President in 1852, but both were de feated by General Scott. Dying in the following October, he was suc ceeded as Secretary by Edward Ever ett, also of Massachusetts, the distin guished writer and orator. Thomas Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury, though one of the fore most men of the big party, had a much higher reputation as a jovial stump-speaker than as a financier yet he was a man of great intellectu al power and moral courage. Like his chief he had risen from the low est level by strength of will and vig or of brain. He had been a promi nent Representative and Senator, and was fifty six years old at the time he entered the Cabinet. After the expiration of -Mr. Fillmore's term and the breaking up of tne whig par ty, Corwin held an intermediate po sition on tho slavery question be tween the Republicans and Demo crats. He was, however, elected to Congress in 185S (we think by the Republicans), but died not far from the breaking out of the war. Charles M. Conrad, Secretary of War had not attained national prom inence pefore his entrance into the Cabinet, and did not retain it after his exit. Like most Southerners, he supposed the cause of secession, and during the rebellion was occasionally heard of as a speaker or writer in its favor. According to the public journals he has died sirice the close of the war. William A. Graham, Secretary of the Navy, was better known than his colleague of the War Department having been a Senator from North Carolina, and also Governor of that State. He was but forty-ve years old when appointed Secretary of the Navy. Being nominated for Vice President on the ticket with General Scott, he resigned bis post in June, 1852, only to be overwhelmingly de feated in the succeeding autumn. Retiring to private life, he has been little heard of since. Though not an original secessionist, he was not Unionist enough to resist the desire j to le on the popular side. He em- umsvu uii Lite nut; ui ii'tii'iiiijii, miu during the war represented North Carolina in the Confederate Senate. He still survives, and about two years ago was president ot tho "Cabi net reunion" in this city, the other members present being Mr. Fillmore himself Mr. Graham and Mr. Hill. Alexander H. II. Stuart occupied the then new post of Secretary of the Interior during Mr. Fillmore's term without special distinction, and cer tainly without discredit. In regard to the new issue which afterwards arose he held about the s.tme position as Mr. Graham, first opposing and then espousing secession. Since the war he has been frequently talked of as a "Conseavative" Senator from Virginia, but that honor has been carried off by more thorongh going secessionists. John J. Crittenden Attorney Gen- cral.Jwas i'lj n e lcet thestrongestjman iu the Cabiuet, next to ebster, and ranked among the first of American statesmen. Thirty-two years before then thirty two years old, he took his seat iu the United States Senate which, at intervals, he occupied sev eral terms. He had also been At torney General under Presidents Harris jnjand Tay!o-, and Governor Kentucky. In the affections of the people of that State he stood next to Henry Clay. Mr. Crittenden was a representative of the better portion of the Southern "chivalry;" ardent and high spirited, yet free from the intolerance aud the lawlessness which too frequently marred the Southern character. In 1854 Le was again' elected to the Senate. Throughout the exciting debates on the Kansas question, he acted with marked moderation, and opposed the admis sion of Kansas under the Lecomb tion Constitution, as the era grew more stormy, the venerable Senator felt the greatest pain at the thought of being compelled to choose between warring sections. In the winter of ISO I he introduced into the Senate the celebrated "Crittenden Compro mise." proposing to extend the .Mis souri line to the Pacific ocean and engraft it on the Constitution. This' however, was not satisfactory to the friends of either freedom or slavery. When the war broke out Mr. C. had the misfortune to see two of his sons fighting on opposite sides, General Thomas L. Crittenden being in the Union, and General George IJ. Crit tenden in the Confederate ranks. These public and private calamities united with great age to bring him speedily to the grave. Of Nathan K. Hall it is needless to speak to Buffalonians, especially as his recent decease has revived in their memories all the incidents of his career. Edward Everett, who after Mr. Webster's death, held for a few months, the secretaryship of State, occupied no permanent office after ward though he was a candidate for Vice Presidency in 1861, on the "Constitutional Uuion," more com monly called the "Bell-Everett," tiicket. During the war gave a decisive adherence to the Union cause, and in I860 was chosen a Presidential Elector, and helped to cast the vote of Massachusetts in favor of Lincoln. He died shortly afterward. John P. Kennedy, of Maryland, who was secretary of the Navy after Graham's resignation, was like Mr. Everett one of the few literary politi cians of America, having been not only a prominent Congressman, but quite a noted author. He passed from public on life his retirement from the Cabinet but was a firm Union man during the war. He died a short time since. When Postmaster General Hall was appointed Judge his place was filled by Hon. Samuel M. Hubbard of Connecitcut but we arc able to give no information of either his antecedent or subsequent lii'e. It will be seen that nearly if not quite all of Mr. Fillmore's chief advisers were like himself, men of moderate opinions and cantions dis positions. Every one we think, who was then living supported Fillmore and Donelson 1850, and Bell and Everett in 1800. In Pstrlsi Io im tbe Parlalnss. Do. Last night I witnessed, says a cor respondent of the Timrx, the discom fiture of two young American ladies who cvidehtly did not understand tho customs of tbe country. They enter ed the Cafe Tortoni, Boulevard des Italiens, about !) o'clock in the even ing, unaccompanied, and the waiter declined to serve them with ice cream. They were politely told that it was the rule of the establishment not to serve ladies alone, and thev were obliged to pass out under the gaze of a number of ladies and gentlemen sit ting at the tables. Their faces show ed that they were honest girls, and that they were intensely humiliated. They thought that they could enter here and eat their ice cream as", com fortably and securely as at many es tablishments on Broadway. The Cafe Tortoni is one of the most re spectable places in Paris, and its ices famous. They are found on the tables of the aristocratic and official world at all grand dinners, and in a word, they are delicions. This is one of the" few places in the city where gentlemen go with their wives. This reputation for respectability could never be kept up except by making it an inexorable rule not to serve ladies unaccompanied. Ameri can girls are apt to think that they can take care of themselves in any part of the ' world, and that may be true if they conform to the customs of the country in which they are; but here two American girls cannot go out unaccompanied at nine o'clock in the evening, to get ice cream, with out being liable to a viauri quart' d'havre. In fine with all due dc-feranct)-to those who think other wise, I do Hot think that American girls should promenade tbe streets ol Paris at night without a gentleman protector. I may render a service to some one by saying that tbe respec table cafes do not serve ladies alone, and I cannot imagine that American girls would enter the other sort, ex cept by error or ignorance. Accom panied by a gentleman they are just as free from insult or annoyance as in tfccir'owa cousm. NO. 12. PBI ting Out m 4'at Mr. Joseph Springer is a jn-a.-able married man who lives on Detroit street, near the western city limits. He has in bis employ a maid servant who has a young man that not only calls regularly but irregularly. The maid servant's beau is possessed of an appetite that requires frequent sat isfying, and during his visit to the Springer mansion, pus, doughnuts, cheese, cookies, cold meat, preserves and other nutritious 'and palitable ar ticles, disappeared like dew befoie the morning sun, or hot gridule cakes before a hired man. Since the panic Las demoralized men and things Springer has been trying to economize in varions direc tions, and among other leaks that he sought to stop was that of feeding his hired girl's beau, Springer even went so far as to tell his handmaid that she could only receive visiu from her lover on Wednesday aud Saturday nights, as the expense of fire, lights and provisions five nights out of sev en was too much. Tbe maid of all work pouted, burned tbe toast and serve dish water coffee for several mornings, but finally seemed to ac cept the situation and resume her wonted cheerfulness. Such was the state of affairs up to last Friday night, when it appears "Sarah's young man," unable to stand the pangs of hunger or love un til Sat urday night, rapped at the kitchen door of Spinger's house, and was admitted. About eleven o'clock p. ni. the hand maid, in obedience to a hint from her admirer, took the lamp in hand and proceeded down cellar in search of something for him to eat. Though she used every pre caution not to awaken the Springer family, asleep up stairs, yet, as she opened the cellar door, a strange cat bounded'out into tbeYoom unbeknown to her, and a moment later emitted one of those sad and melancholy howls that cats are wont to give when concealed in a strange room. Mrs. Springer heard the cat yell and after digging at Springer's skins with Le. toe nails until he was awake, she said, "Go down stairs, Mr. Sprin ger, and let that cat out of the house." Springer hated the job, but was forc ed to comply, and descending the stairs in his night shirt and bare feet, found himself in the dining room, where all about him was dark as pitch. The maid servant's beau heard Springer deseeding the stairs, and fearing that if he were found there it might make trouble in the family, began to fell his way toward the back door. In doing so, howev er, he tripped over the chair his sweetheart had been occupying, and fell headlong into a clothes horse full of garments that were being dried by the kitchen stove. The clothes horse struck the cat in Us fall, and with another howl of mis ery, that animal began to cavort around the room, scale the walls and climb the tables seeking for and exit. "Great Moses! what ails that cat?" 6aid Springer, as he enter d the kitchen, only to fall over tbe unfor tunate lover, who was trying to get untangled from the clothes horse and clothing. "Burglars! murder !" yelled Springer, as he clutched the supposed thief beneath him, who. iu h is strug gles to get away, upset the table full or breakfast dishes. The handmaid bearing the muss, came rushing up stairs so fast that tbe lamp was extinguished, and ar rived in the kitchen jnst in time to get kicked in the pit of the stomach by one of the struggling men on the floor, and dropping the lamp and plate of -doughnuts she had in her hands,' she, too, doubled up with a shriek of pain and fell on the floor in a hysterical fit. Mrs. Springer who was only half awake, heard her husband yell mur der, and bounding out of bed came sliding down stairs in a sitting post ure, and as she entered the kitchen, from whence came sounds of deadly strife, curses and shriekes, the cat who had partially caused the troub le, bolted through a window, and be fore Mrs. S. could collect her senses, the hired girl's beau had succeeded in getting out of Springer's grasp and followed the cat through the same ap erture. The handmaid hearing her lover escape arose, procured a light, n. Vt an rFI n rn ma a n1 1 n rm t Via I w si, u t. 1 j.si i ia v.vnoi;4 jrvuuuiug uvj aimfnl of clothing he thought was .

Charles Scott was Governor of Kentucky, an insignifi cant individual having a desire to distinguished his prowess, pretend ed some offense, singled out Gov. S., to whom be sent a challenge to a duel. The old veteran properly re fused the challenge. Meantime the braggart had been ostentatiously speculating on the occurrence in ad vance, not anticipating the turn it took. After waiting in vain for an acceptance, and not even receiving an answer, he went personally to de mand an explanation. "Gen. Scott, you received my challenge ?" "Your challenge was delivered." "But I have never received an acknowledg ment or an acceptance of it." "I pre sume not, sir.as I have sent neither." "But of course vou mean to accept it ?" "Of course I do not." "What, not accept my chalcnge ? Is it pos sible that you, General Scott, brought np ia the army, decline a combat ?" "I do with yon sir, coolly respond ed the hero. "Then I have no means of satisfaction left but to post you as a coward." -Tost me as a coward ! Ha, ha, ha I Post a way, sir; but if you do, you will post yourself a liar, and everybody will know it" A burglar who was found under a man's bed in Philadelphi excused himself on the ground that he was looking for his dog.

It is a melani holy spectacle to See so many drones in the great hive of life. Almost daily we meet with young men who consider their edu cation finished, and who possess, per haps more than ordinary na'ural at tainments and talents, and yet they lounge about as listlessly as if there were no work demanded at their hands. They are content to live on the means their fathers and grandfath ers have stored up for them, and be lieve that by so doing they hold a species of patent right nobility, which affords them a higher position in so ciety than those can attain who daily ! work with their brains and hands for J a living; and no ambition ever spurn. them onward to enter toe arena of science or of art, where they might gain lasting renown. Who" would not rather be the son of Asrasniz than the richest millionaire? Who would not rather win for himself a name, than full back upon the great wealth or fame of his ancestors '( There are many young men, in all our cities and large towns, who rely almost entirely upon their parents for their suf port; and their livc9, which might be full of noble achievements, are dawdled away :n uuholy disoipatious.

Pray do not sneak from the cradle of infancy to the cof fin of oblivion without at leat exert ing yourselves in some degree to show that you have not lived in vain; and bare in mind that fame and hon or are coy damsels, who cannot be wooed by "uiaiterly inactivity."

A remarkable incident, says the Kansas City Time, occurred a few nights since in the residence of Mrs. S. S. Newmeyer. This lady resides with her two daughters, aged 11 and 13 year.-, in a small frame house, and has for the past two or three months been suffering from accute mental anxiety, on account of the death of her husband, in December last. Mrs. Newmeyer had been adicted to sleep the walking and restlessness during night, seldom sleeping more than half a night at a time. So much has this habit of sleep-walking increased upon their mother, that one of the other or the daughters has been ob liged to keep constant watch lest something might befall her. A pecu liarity about this somnambulism haa been a desire of the sleep-walker to vif.it the parlor of the house, and take a seat in the chair directly oppo site the one usually occupied by ber husband in life. The daughters have frequently found her thus seated asleep,' with a lamp burning upon the parlor table. On Monday nighi Emma the youn ger of the girls, was awakened by hearing a loud crash in the parlor ami a noise as if some person or per sons was running from the front yard. Ongoing to the parlor they found their mother seated as usual fast asleep in Ler chair, the lamp burning upon the table and the front window wide open. A closer exam ination diselosed a man's hat and several burglar's tools, and from the appearance of the sideboard and bureau it was plainly evident that thieves must have been at work when the sleep-walker glided into the room. She must have caused quite a stampede for the thieves did not stop to pick up their tools or their booty. They evidentiy supposed the apparation something supernatural and left their night's work for others to finish. From fc '.-prints on the snow their appear to have been twi persons in the house. Mrs. Newmy er was escorted to her room without trouble, and feels very nervous lest she should again fall ino dan ger. Tbe Kentucky lafaat. A Kentucky paper gives the fol lowing account of a huge infant named Dero Edward Chambers, born two years and a half ago, in Barron county, in that State: When about three months old he began to fleshen and soon attracted the serious atten tion of his parents and immediate frientls. His accumulation of fat has been uninterrupted and now ha exhibits an obesity of huge alderma nic proportions. We visited him and made a careful examination and measurement which we give to the curions public. His parents are the rtvers of their infantile representative so far as physical proportion is con cerned. The father, Smith E. Cham bers, is a delicate, spare-made man, of not vigorous looks, and weighs 127 pounds; the mother is small, delicate ly built, and weighs Ml pounds. Dero, the young giant, stands in perpendicular measurement, 37 inch es. The ruensurment around the wrist is 10 inches, and above the elbow, lt! inhes. The leg around the calf gives a circumference of IS inches and the thigh the enormous length around of "23 1-4 while the hips take full 4 S inches of tape to circulate their hugeness. Around tho waist he shows a girth of 42 inches. His avoirdupois pulls down the scales easily at 118 pounds. The child Ls quite intelligent, cat) walk with much easier locomotion than his ponderous, unshapely form rould iudicate, and enjoys very good health. Fuu In WaahtBftatL In Washington they tell a story about Ralph Johnson, who became alarmed when the ladies came and prayed in his saloon. The next day Ralph went to them almost broken hearted, and said if he could only get rid of five barrels of whisky which he had on hand he would join the temperance cause himself. "We will buy your poisonous whisky and pay you for it," said the ladies. "All right," said Ralph, and h took $300 and rolled the whisky out. Tbe ladies emptied the whisky out Ralph went to Lynchburg, where tbey had 11,000 barrels of proof whisky in store and bought a new lot "What do you mean by doing this, Mr. Johnson?" asked a member of the church. "Well," replied Ralph, "my cus tomers war kinder partic'Iar like, and that thar old whiskey was so dog-on weak that I couldn'i sell it to 'em no how, but it did not hurt the ladies, for it was just as good as the proof whisker to wash down the gutters with."" 1 1 1 v
