There's one queer thing, Miranda. This man's hair is black, while the Bigcrop boys hail red hair, but he said it turned black from fright, lie's way up in society, Miranda, and introduced me to young men named Vanderbilt and Astor and Gould and Drexel and ever so many more. 1 tell you, Mirinda, these young fellers spend money! Some bills fer cigars and tilings came in while we was talking, hundreds o' dollars worth, an' they whipped out the cash like a breeze. One of 'em happened to run short, and so I lent him all 1 had, but he said he'd send it by express to-morrow. tell you^ what, Miranda, a smart man like me is just as safe iu the city as in the country."

THE CRAB AND HIS SHELL, U« Become! Valuable for Unit Whin u. Shad* MU Shell.
With the beginning of June aa industry springs up which gives employment to more men along the shores of New Jersey and Long Island than is generally known. Signs of its awakening are then to be seen in the fish markets, in the shape of Hat seaweed-lined trays,^ full of wicked-looking crabs, and signs with the alluring invitation to buy "Shedder crabs for bait $1 per dozen." About that time iu southern waters, aud little later in the bays around the city, the ordinary murderous blue crab feels a gentle melancholy stealing over his spirit. He sulks anil hides himself under grassy banks, and, if caught, it will be found that the shell at the sharp ends is slightly soft and yields to tho touch, lie. is, however, still very, very hard around the shears, and willing and anxious to prove it. In this condition he is known by fishermen as a "comer," and is often kept in great llat fish cars in a tideway, for, though not yet valnable, great possibilities are contained in his wicked, lively body.
After a few tides have flowed over him, he becomes the thing that draws dollars from saltwater fishermen during tho season, a shedder crab with wieke.il intentions but limited capabilities. The shell cracks along the joints uftd the body protrudes at the legs and craws. If the crab is now left in the water for another tide, he begins to undress himself, often rolling over on his back. Gradually he wriggles one leg out of tho outgrown armor, then another, and so on in succession the shell opens underneath his body, and after much struggling and tribulation a limp and helpless soft crab lies on the bottom, a prey to every fellow-in-habitant of salt water.—New York Tribune.
THE NUCLEUS, BONE.
Arouvid Which Some Think the Ilesur. rectcd Body Will lie Built. It is said in the brief details of Emma Abbott's cremation rites that the sweet singer was reduced to two or three pounds of ashes, which were preserved in a silver vase, writes a Detroit Free Press correspondent.
Now, it is well known that a two or even four hours' incineration does not totally consume tho bones, and tliero is always a mass of these left, which are thrown away as refuse.
Among these human bones is one which is believed to bo impervious to death or decay. It is a small bone, part of tlio Backbone, and is called "Luz." It is said that a learned rabbi demonstrated to tho Emperor Adrian that water would not steep it, fire would not burn it, a mill could not grind it, nor could anv hammer break ft.
The resurrection bo'rie is supposed
Spring out of this as from a seed. This question arises: Would it not be more in keeping with the importance of mortuary rites to have the bones buried in the cemetery lot, while the ashes find their repose in the silver urn, and may be retained in the household? Even a superstition has weight in favor of an idea..
