The Old Well-Sweep.

I was driving with a friend the other day through a somewhat dreary stretch of "country where there seemed to be very Jittlo to attract notice or deserve remark. Still the old spirit infused by "Eyes and No Eyes!' was upon me, ana I looked for *something to fasten my thought upon and treat as an artist treats a study for a picture. The first object to wnich my e3'es were drawn was au old-fashioned well-sweep. It did not take much imaginative sensibility to be'stirred by the sight of, this most useful, most ancient, most picturesque of domestic conveniences. I know something of the shadoof of Egypt—the same arrangement by which the sacred waters of the Nile have been lifted from the davs of the Pharaohs to those of the Khedives. That long forefinger pointing to Heaven was a symbol which spose to the Puritan exile as it spoke of' old to the enslaved Israelite. Was there ever any such water as that which we used to draw from the deep, cold well, in "the old oaken bucket?" What memories gather about the well in all ages! Whatlove-matches have been made at its margin, from the times of Jacob and Rachel downward! What fairy legends hover over it, what fearful mysteries has it hidden! Tho beautiful well-sweep! It is too rarely that we see it, and as it dies out and gives place to the odiously convenient pump, with the last patent on its cast-iron uninterestingness, does it not seem as if the farmyard aspect had lost half its attraction? So«long as the dairy farm exists doubtless there must be every facility for getting water in abundance but the loss of the well sweep cannot be made up to us even if our milk were diluteci to twice its,present attenuation.—Oliver Wendell Holmes in Atlantic.

The Learned Physician's Mistake.

It was at a clinic iu a New'York hospital, or at least it is in that way that the story runs, which for all practical purposes is mych the same thing, that a patient was brought in who was evidently in advanced stages of pulmonary trouble. The doctors dealt with hiiii, and sounded him, and tested and listened, and tried him, and in the end informed the poor fellow that he had nothing more or less than that dreadful disease, consumption.

The doctor in charge of the examination asked the sick man some questions as to his mode of life and his occupation, eliciting the fact that the patient had for years been a member of a brass band. "Ah," quoth the doctor, "that explains it easily enough. The playing of Hrass instruments, from its constant strain on the lungs, is almost certain to end in pulmonary trouble. What instrument did you play? Probably one of the big horns or something of the sort." "No, sir," answered the sick man freely and apparently without any consciousness that he was spoiling a very pat illustration "I played the bassarum."

Quicken the Sense of Humor.

The deaf are taught to hear with their eyes, the dumb are taught to speak with their lingers and to talk actually with their vocal organs. II the blind have the least glimmer ol light left to them the very utmost is macle of it, but the man who cannot see a joke gets no help at all, and is exceptionally lucky if he even meet? with sympathy. Let us hope it will not be much longer but that by hypnotism or Christian science or some unexpected application of electricity the seat of humor may be reached" and quickened.

Love is the great sweetener that makes living tolerable and dying a good deal more comfortable than most people think, but. after love, is there any other corrective of existence that is tit to compare with hutuor? It greases the wheels so. It makes so many burdens endurable that must have been crushing without it.—Scribner's.

What, a Zing Zang Ie.

"Zing zangs" are'very popular with the colored citizens. A "zing zang" is one of the most unique entertainments of the age. Every vestige of furniture in the room where one is to take place is removed before the "ziu» zang" begins. Tallow candles arc then stuck in the walls, and everything is ready. A dark-skinned son oi Africa then leads the girl whom he loves best out into the middle of the room, and the assembled guests form a circle around them. "Scratch gravel!" velte the aforesaid offspring of the I)ark Continent. At tiie same time he and his partner begin an animated double, shuffle, keeping time to the patting and stamping of the hands and feet of the crowd that sunrounds them. Oftentimes a single couple will keep this peculiar dance up for a half houi without once pausing during that time. In fact, they become so excited thai they seldom stop until both are wringing wet with perspiration and almosl ready to fall to the Hoor from sheer exhaustion. One couple no sooner withdraws than another takes its place, and the scene is repeated.—ludiannpolit Sentinel.

Cast-Oif Clothing for Negroes.

Thousand of southern negroes wear the cast-off clothing of New Yorkers. Such clothing is bought for little or nothing by peddlers, who sell it to wholesalers in the central European quarter. The wholesalers clean, patch, and press the garments, arrange them according to sizes in dozens, and await the southern merchauts. The latter come from Washington, Richmond, Charleston, Mobile, and half a dozen other convenient cities and buy as best they may. The wholesalers sell on ninety days' credit, and if one merchant docs not offer fair prices they wait the coming of others. Nobody's profits are extraordinarily large, but those of the southern retailer are probably the best.

He Oot a Straight Tip That Time.

Every now and then a man gets a tip he is ready to bank on to his last dollar," said a well-known racing man of the West countree to a 'Pioneer Press man. "I got such a one by wire from a New York horse owner recently and hurried to the Atlantic coast in time to make my hay. I met my friend: at a big hotel, and he was wild over his horse. He said he had him bottled up for keeps, knew what all- his competito a is W could 'beat 'em all a block!' '"How if it rains?' said I. '"Pawn your diamonds and plav W. for all you're worth, lie'll beat 'em all two blocks on a heavy track.' "I had full confidence in my friend,, and when the saddling bell ruug I had all the money I could spare—more, too, for that matter—up on his horse. Then I went off by myself to a corner of tho grand stand where I could be alone and watch the finish. I had a stack of tickets on the horse as thick as a dictionary, and they were all,marked with the odds, which were about five to one on an average. "Well, W. won/clean and clear —beat 'em a block sure enough—and as I stood up after the finish I was grabbed behind by both arms while a big voice shouted in my ear: '"Great Ctesar, friend, why you've won a pot o1 money.' "I,didn't know the man, buthe had evidently come up behind mo and watched me count my tickets, which he coulcl read over my shoulder easy enough without uiy seeing or hearing him. "What would I have done if W. had been beaten? Made a sueitk from the stand, gone into town and' made a dicker for a loan to pay railroad fares back to St. Paul. I don't often get nervous over my bets, but I must coufess I watched that race with more interest than I can usually-summon."

Queer Franklin City.

Away over in tho extreme northeast corner of the State of Virginia is the most curious city'ever seen. That entire corner of the estate has fqr time out of mind been owned by the Franfclin family. The land was absolutely of no use, but that part of the esfcK* under water was good for oysters, the flavor of which made them famoq*

For nearly fifty years every and any one who wanted to lielpei themselves to the bivalves. It was not, in fact, until after the death of the original owner that any effort was m«de to make any money out of the only product of the property. From that time the boom in Franklin City was on, until to-day there are a hun-dred-odd houses. Every house stands on piles, and is from three_to four feet above the surface of the ground. The best and most pretentious structure of the city is a huge frame hotel, at which the rates are 7 cents a day, with a.liberal reduction for permanent boarders and families.

One of the most curious things are the wells, says the Pittsburg, Dispatch. Most of these are covered with water at all times, and there is not one «f them that at some time during the day is not surrounded bv water. It seems quite strange to be drawing pure, fresh spring water from the bottom of the salt water bay.

The Iiovcr's Return.

"I—I—that is, you will excuse me," he stammered as lie entered a store on upper Broadway yesterday and was accorded an interview with the proprietor. "What did you wish, sir?" was the cold but polite rejoinder. "Well, you may think me foolish,but I must run the risk. About a year ago you had a girl over there behind tne railing—a typewriter and private secretary, I presume." "Yes, sir." "She was a handsome girl—very handsome, and her speech ancl demeanor showed good blood." "Yes.'7 "Well, I—I fell in love with her." "Did you? Well?" "She was very coy and shy, but after a time I thought I could detect-signs that my feelings were reciprocated. "Ah! Indeed! Look at you in a tender way?" "I thought so. For weeks I made it a practice to pass your store at 2 o'clock daily, so as to get sight of her. She got so she looked for me at that hour." "Indeed!" "That is, I thought she did. -I thought her eyes lighted up as she caugnt sight of me. I suppose the proper way would have been to come in and ask you to introduce me, but— but one hesitates over those things, you know." "Yes, I know." 'About a year ago I was suddenly called to Chicago. While there I»met with a bad accident, and only yesterday returned to New York. I wanted to write her, but under the circumstances I could not." "I follow."

"But I thought of her daily, aye! a hundred times a-day." "That was correct.*" "And now that I have returned I called to catch sight of her dear, sweet face once more, but I don't see it. Is she with you yet?" "Oh. yes." "Is she ill?" "Oh, no." "Absent temporarily?" "Yes over at the house." "Your house?" "Yes. Perhaps you'd like to Yvalk over? I married her about a year ago, and this is the hour when the baby is asleep and she is at liberty."

The axe fell.
