He,* do Clown Sah.

A whisper of something too good to keep comes to us from Da3*ton. One day last week the senior editor of Statesman of this city aud the Columbus correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer and New York World, both daily, were called to Dayton as witnesses in some law case. A circus came to town the £&me night. The two. men reported )at one of the principal fyotels and called for a double room or a large room with two beds in it. A polite cpecimen of the Enquirer man's aversion, a negro, showed them to a. large room with one bed in it. En quirer man said he would "see about tins,'1 and started for the otliec witli an indignant flirt of his coat tail. As soon as he left the room, Darkey says to the old Scold of the Statesman, "Belongs to de circus dpn't he?" "Yes,'1 said Statesman, "he's the rlown.''' thought so," said the bowing African, "and yoifs de ringraahsk*r, ain't ye Golly 1 knows ell dese circus chaps. l)ey has a sort of a perfessioual air—a wise look like, you know. I was sartin he was de clown—know'rt it sah, de moment I sot eyes on him V'--Ohio State Journal.

Coming t« Claim his Bride. The readers of the Sun may remember the storv of Mr. Lew Benedick, of Kenedick & Duprez's minstrels, who live years ago, being then a poor young lawyer, courted the daughter of aNew York millionaire, and obtained the father's consent to a marriage with her on condition that he would first amass §50,000. He entered the burnt cork profession, became part proprietor of the troupe named above, and toiled and scraped together for five long and weary years for the price of his happiness. At last he has succeeded. After counting the receipts of the box ofliec at the Arch Street Theater, in Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening, he found that the last $100 was in his possession. He immediately telegraphed to his intended father-in-law the joy-

profession until he has made enough,

to provide his bride with a handsome

trosseau. etr orh Sun.

A STEAMBOAT on the Misaissippi passed' ad rowning man. The unfortunate man struggled, plashed, floundered, and screamrid for dear life in the water. The pilot of the steamboat yelled to him to ''stand up !f He. jidid' so, and"'found the Matter scarcely knee de^p. A more foolish, sheepish looking fellow than he, as the ladies and gentlemen on the boat screamed with laughter at the ludicrous'scene, i{ would be hard to meet.

THE word dun (to ask for a debt) owes its origin to a famous Euglish bailiff, named Joe Dunn, in the time of King Heniy VIII., who plied his hard trade of collecting doubtful debts with remarkable success. When every resort had failed, creditors would threaten to put Dumx on their debtors, aud hefcee the phrase of dunning, w/hich is' so common now-*-!Uy8.v

A Big Sfmsrget.

.A. T. Farrish & Co. received this morning from Downieville a nugget of gold weighing one hundred and six pounds, being almost, if not quite, the largest nugget ever taken in this State, and within a few pounds the largest ever found in the modern gold mining. The value is about $25,000. In the same find 3(57 65-100 ounces were obtained in to

smaller nuggets from twenty-five seventy-five ounces each also one I

send as much more. The vein vanes from one to three feet, and is filled with decomposed quartz. The gold is obtained by sluicing, using quicksilver to catch the fine particles. The tailings only go through an arastra. The Sierra Buttes and the Independence Mine are located on the same mountain. It is only some two months since Messrs. Farrish commenced work on this mine, and they have got in a few feet. A week ago they sent down $3,000 as the result of two men's labor for eight or nine weeks.-— San Eranciseo Bulletin.

Wearing Mourn injr.

We long for the day when this custom shall be obsolete. It is unbecoming the truly afflicted one. The wearer says, by the black garments, "I have lost a dear triend. I am in deep sorrow." Hut true grief does not wish to parade itself before the eyes of the stranger much less does it assert its extent. Thesiricken one naturally goes apart from the world to pour out the tears. Ileal affliction seeks privacy. It is no respect to the departed friend to say we are in sorrow. If we have a real grief it will be discovered.

The above is the most simple way of making it but to have it of the best possible clearness, make a thick syrup with three pounds of sugar to each pint of water, and clarify it with an egg, as before directed.
