Fraser's Magazine. When, on Aug. 19, 1792, after the massacre of his Swiss guards and nubles, the King sought refuge with the Convention, they put him in the box—not the shorthand writer's, for there was no euch functionary at that time, but of tl.e perton whose duty it was to render nn account of the sitting. Scarcely had the ill-starred French King taken his scat therein when he became hungry, and requested that something to eat might be instantly brought him. The Queen insisted that he Bhould not exhibit such a strange example ot thoughtlessness and gluttony, but, as there was no way of bringing him to reason, a roast fowl was placed within his reach, which he at once greedily attacked without appearing to disqniet himself about the serious contingency of his own lite or death then under discussion. What did it matter to him? He was alive. "I think, therefore I live," said Descartes. "I live, therefore I eat," said Louis XVI. The repaet went on until not a scrap of fowl nor a morsel of bread was left.

London Truth. It is usually supposed that the Queen has laid by a great deal of money, and, acting on this supposition, it is asked why she cannot provide for her family. As a matter of fact she has not. When Prince Albert died many of the state departments were in debt those debts have been paid off". Some of them—such as that of the Master of the Horse, for which £10,000 per annum is allowed—always have to borrow from tbe other departments, or from the privy purse. Although the court does not entertain largely, the mise-en-sccne is pretty much the same as if it did. The Queen really does not put by as much as £20,000 per annum on an average of years. She has always given, I believe, £100,000 to each of her daughters who has married, and this has drained her savings.

THE LITTLE NEWSBOY.
A Story of Every-day Life. "You see thai fat, comfortable-look-
jOBtwent oat, after bringing my clothes Lome from the wash?" t»
4'Your
definition is a very good one,"
replied my friend DalL "She looks fat, comfortable, and I shoultf^judge sho weighed 180 pounds. Is she a widow P" I «"Tes." "Well, she's a bonnie-looking, healthy, kindly-looking woman, but I hope yon are not Bohemian enough to have any idea of marrying her," replied my friend DalL
I laughed long and heartily, and then, as the memories of my first meeting with my honest old laundress cnjno into my mind, became silent and thoughtful. The further my memory went back in connection with good Mrs. Merriam, the more it was hedged with thorns. At last Dall, seeing mo musing, stud: I "Ola boy, your grog is ontasted, and you're thinking abont something painful. Fm sorry if I made a joke that hurt you—let us change the subject Are you going to see the small yachts »on Saturday P" "My dear Dall," I answered, "most emphatically shall I refrain from witnessing the liliputian plungers cavort around our bay on Saturday, and I have to remark, in addition, that there is no necessity to change the subject. But, if you will hoist up your interminable cruel appendages on to the table, and get outside of that grog and blow a cloud, Iwill tell you the washerwoman's story." "One act or three?" asked Dall, "because I have to report a meeting of the Pecksniffs at 8 P. M., who are going to try the sexton on a charge of heresy—guilty of taking snuff and sneezing during the benediction, I believe."
Dall is nothing if not absurd, but he put his logs upon the table and retort* ED: I "Fire away, old six-foot-of-misery, and make it short," and I did. But Dall is incorrigible, and just as I was beginning: "About four years ago he interrupted mo with: "Say, drink your toddy. I know this
5ow
rarn is an infernal lie, but if you swalabout three ounces of alcohol I have noticed you always talk so much more pleasantly."
So I emptied my glass and commenced About four years ago, when I was on the local staff of tho Post, I was standing chatting withthG herculean cashier, Blackburn, when a tiny little boy, much emaciated, came in and bought ton papers at the regular newsboy's rates. I He must have disposed of them very quickly, for ho came in again and again, until I calculated he must have disposed of at least fifty papers. "That's a smart boy," I remarked, to the cashier "he must have made nearly a dollar and a half in the last hour." "Yes," replied that official thoughtfully, "but I sometimes have to trust him for papers. There's something wronnr about hiui. See how thin he is. Guess" he's forced to sell papers, and has a father who takes every cent away from him." "Shouldn't wonder," I answered. "These little street follows have a tough road to travel," and just as I spoke I heard the shrill weak little voice piping outside the counter, "ten more papers, please."
I left the office, Dall, and went round to a saloon on Clay street to get a cocktail before going home but I couldn't get the idea of that little newsboy out of my head, and, although a party of us were chatting over the election and a dozen subjects interesting to newspapermen, that little boy's face still stood in the background of my mind's reflections.
All of a sudden, while wo wero laughing at one of little 's jokes, I heard the tiny voice and saw the boy again, with his lips all pinched and looking whiter than ever.
This time I was determined to find out something about him. Ho was watching his opportunity, and when ho saw the barkeeper at leisure he pulled his coat timidly, and I heard him say: "Please, Alfred, give me a glass of water and a cracker."
The kind-hearted barkeeper, Dall, gave him some bread and cheese, some water with raspberry syrup in it, and added: "Pitch in, little 'un. How's your mother?" "Worse," was tho little croak from the bundle of bones "but I'm bully, you bet and 1 sold fifty-seven papers to-night and took the money home. Bet your sweet life mother was pleased. They're mighty good," ho chirruped, "to mo at tho office, and the cashier give me three extra papers. Made dollar and forty-five cents to-night. We got coal and wood and meat and bread for mother. We're hunky. So long." "Well, Dall, I stood petrified, I had just set the drinks up for the crowd— $1.25—and here was this little follow working like a beaver, all skin and bone, for his mother, and I felt like a brute." "Broke you up, as it woro, said Dall. "Made me esthetically weary," I replied. "Well, what did'you do next," queried DalL
I didn't do anything for several nights, but I couldn't get tbe little beggar out of my mind, and one night I cornered him. He came up and asked me to buy a paper, and, before he could run off after getting his five cents, I said: "Say, Bonnv! come up and get a cup of coffee and something to eat you look hungry."
The little midget looked at me with his bright, sunken eyes for a moment, and said: "Say, sir, you belong to the newspapers, and Fve often seen you look at me, but I don't want no coffee nor nuffen, only I can't sell no papers t'night, and if ye'd like to gimme the price of the coffee, I could use it better." "How better?" 1 asked. "Mother," gulped the boy. "But he was a fraud," said Dall. Fraud? Well, let me tell you. I got that boy to take me to where his mother lived, and she gavo me the whole business. Sho was getting well of typhoid fever, more by luck than through science, and she had wanted for nothing from the day she sickened until the nieht I saw her lying white as a ghost, ana thin as a shadow, on a pallet bed in an alley off Jackson street. "And you—what did you-do?' que* ried DalL "Well, I had $30 for my landlady, and all I know is that she didn't get it, and called me a bilk for a whole
"And the mother and the little newsboy?" asked Dall. "The mother—well, you saw her just now—looks pretty plump and hearty, doesn't she? Takes in washing, and is doing first-rate." "Where'a.her husband, dead?" "No I forgot about that. He's in San Quentin for life. He killed H——, don't you remember?" "yea, I do but tiie little newsboy?!'
"I can't bear to talk about that yet. He went to sleep in my arms three weeks ago, and lay in them for hours before if was all over. "About an hour before tho end came he said: 'Mother won't want I shall ask FKm to help her as soon as I see •Jim—and—ana to bless you. Goodby, mother, good-b "Why, d—n it, Dall you're crying, as I am a living sinner. Get out of this, you old humbug, and go and report your Pecksniff meet ng. and take your pinch of snuff with the sextoli."

r-"? The Toothsome Mushroom. The virtues of the toothsome mushroom are not half appreciated ia this latitude, but they aro better known every year. It is a delicate fungus—when properly cooked and served. The true mushroom grows in hard tramped, close cropped pasture land it peels easily from the scales across the top of the fruit Says Col. Gilmore, an authority on this tender subject: "The scales are a beautiful pink in tint growing into a dark maroon color as they beconio older, and when broken apart tho fiesli within will be found as white and Hairless as the snowy bosom of Idalian Aphrodite when she rose from her bed in the wave hollows that slept softly along the shores of the spicegaled Cyprus." The Colonel evidently likes mushrooms. He prefers them broiled, it seems—on toast "Tho toast should be so browned as to halt at that shadowy border line between too much and too little in tho way of browning, and nicely buttered. Then place the tenderly broiled mushrooms upon it and prepare to swim in a river of bliss." It fairly makes one's mouth water to read these sincere and enthusiastic words.

A Convenient Seat.
Somehow or other San Antonio has got the reputation of being a drinking town, and San Antonians are supposed to be always suffering from thirst During tho fair several San Antonians visited Austin, and among them a "gentleman who is notorious for his public spirit, and is said to be training for Mayor. He attended a performance at Millett's Opera House and requosted a convenient seat. The usher showed him a seat near the door. "Do you call this a convenient seat?" asked tho pilgrim from tho Altano. "You are from San Antonio, aro jou not?" "Ye3,1am," was tho proud reply. "Well, I put you near the door soyou could get out easily forty or fifty times during tho play to get somo beer."— Texas Siftings.

sought lacteal nourishment from the dog, and no objections being raised at headquarters, at once elected her their foster-mother. They continued to draw a living from her until they were large •botes. Strange to say, they assumed many of the traits of the dog, such as lumping fences, running rabbits, suckiag eggs, chasing house cats, sleeping under the beds, and even trying to bark. They finally became so troublesome that Mr. Fletcher put them up and fattened them. He afterwards sold one to a colored mac, who butchered it and on being asked how it tasted, replied: "Dat hog tasted jes' like a cotton-bas-ketful obwet puppies smells."—-Ber-rien (go.)
How Piutes Gross the Bivcr.'
Nature,
in an article in regard to
the swimming of savage people, says: "The Indians on the Missouri River, when they have occasion to traverse that impetuous stream, invariably tread water just as the dog treads it" Our Piutes practice this method of swiming. We have frequently seen them crossing the Corson River in this way in the early days. Squaws, youngsters and all marched directly across the stream. However, before starting in, the squaws and children took in each hand a stick—a piece of dead willow or cotton wood—from four to six feet in length. Holding these sticks upon the water, they would move their hands forward alternately, at the same time treading water with their feet In this way the water only occasionally came above their shoulders.—
