A eight or two since a otiap about
35 years old, looking at if he had
crawled out of a cave to commence
life anew, entered one of the hotels,
and, waiting at the counter until the
clerk was at liberty, lie asked: "Is
this a hotel T"
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Good living, good beds, and the
most courteous attention V
"Yes, sir."
"Well," said the stranger, after a
long look at a railroad time-table, "I
suppose you don't trust!"
"No, sir."
"Wouldn't let a man stay here four
or five days un til something turned
up?"
"No, sir."
"That's what I wanted to know. I
always like to have an understanding
about such things, for if anything makes
me mad it is to nave a great hotel clerk
jump in on me and Kick mo down
stairs on account of my straitened
finances."
"You'd better find some other
place," suggested the clerk.
"Oh 1 1 shall," replied the stronger.
"The outsido of this hotel seemed to
smile a welcome at me ; but, as I said
before, my present policy is to get
along without being kicked. I've got
mental feelings aa well as anybody
else, and I'm gutting so worn in flesh
that a mere common grand bounce
from a heavy hotel clerk upsets me a
whole day. Farewell, young man;
cUn't bile any extra taters for mo."
He was a very young man. A few
stray hairs upon his lip attested the
fact that he was engaged in a deadly
struggle with a mustache. He went
into a variety 6tore on Main street,
and said to the proprietor: "Have
you Charles Keado's 'Lost Heir?'"
"No, I haven't," replied the store
keeper. "But," he continued, looking
into the young man's face, "I've got
something that will make that mus
tache of yours start out like boils in
Spring time."
Fishing for shad is done on a largs
scale at Gloucester, on the Dcleware.
A net 475 fathoms in length and a
boat rowed by thirty negroes are used,
about five hundred shad taken at each
haul. Some of the fish are Bent to
market and some are served "oo the
spot to excursion parties from Phila
delphia. The latter are "planked,"
which means roasting them on cedar
planks before a fire.

One Ohio editor says of a contem
porary who bad assumed the part of
a mummy in a dramatic performance:
"Ha-was obliged to put a little ani

the character, and to wear more recent
linen ; but that was about all. Na
ture had admirably qualified him to
act the part."
