Frightened by n Music Ron. It is odd to hear of a Chines© being scared merely by the means of a lit- 1 tie music. Such a case did occur at Singapore when a Chinese went into a house’ at Neil road and took up what he thought to be a cashbox. [ He started off down the street, when suddenly the box broke forth into the melodious strains of the “Wandering Minstrel." The man dropped the box on the road, gave one look at it, turned Iris back upon it and bolted -straight into the arms of a constable. -Singapore Times. A FttwlMiou* Footuitin.

Tile Woe* of Mil Umbrella. I This is how a Clapham umbrella firm tenderly inquires about the welfare of the passing wayfarer's gingham; “Has any nuoxpounded calamity tended to debilitate its nerves or paralyze its muscularia? Is it afilicted with a damaged orenated attachment or a ruptured conv'-rgentom? Has any visitation or paralysis arrested or destroyed the facile action of the motive power ? Is the tippoeus extension of the epidermis unimpaired in its attachment? Is the peddneous extremely intact, or has prolonged attrition against terracequs f bstances reduced it to a state of stumpiferous deformity ? i “Is the digitarial appendage without a flaw or fracture?. Is tho occluso and expansive action uninterrupted? Is the octahegeueous esscousity insometrically ungulated? Is its centrifugal rotundity undoformed by depression, sotvicollapse or protrusion ? ; Is its polyhedral coufonnation corj rcct and its cimnnnambient propertious adequate for personal conservation? Aro its mineralogical. vegetable and animal elements still in combination?” Is not this originality of advertisement ?—London Million. A Voice Ilearil Twenty-eight aitlOT. Mr. William Elkins is one of the prominent farmers and fruitgrowers about South Point. Ho was onco a fiat boatman and took produce to New Orleans, and in those days was a famous singer. Ho had a wonderful voice, and while floating down stream used it to arouse melodious echoes from the hanks. Mr. S. Ward of this city, who flatboated with him between IS53 and 1859, declares that the people on hoEi sides of the banks and for miles along the river would come out to hear Mr. Elkins when he had a song going. Ills favorite tune was “Dixie,” and he rolled it out with a thunderous voice that always aroused the country round. A friend of the singer once declared to him that ho had heard his voice on a certain occasion on the Mississippi in Louisiana and recognized it at a distance of JJS miles, Mr. Elkins sings no more on thoriver, but the echoes of former songs must still ho faintly sounding among the hills that once shook with them.— Ironton (O.) Republican. Churlos Lnmb In Gaiters. My father pointed out to mo the small, attenuated figure walking slowly along near the corner of Chancery lane, his gait a trifle uncertain, and ho himself, in spite of the restless moveihent of his eyes, apparently oblivious of all that was passing around. This was Charles Lamb, whose “Esso ys.” hut recently collected and published, was already a well thumbed book in our household. For this reason I had a good look at him, and distinctly remember being struck by something of a Jewish look in his face, although bis dress, an old fash ioned suit of black —swallowtail, small clothes and gaiters—gave him very much the appearance of a decayed. old fashioned pedagogue.— “Glances Deck Through Seventy Years" by Vizetelly. A I>ang©rouH .Joint. “I don’t think,” said the young man, “that I over want to be engaged' again.” And the young woman flared up immediately and said: “Very well. sir. You may consider everything over. I will return you your letters and photographs and presents right now.” “But I don’t believe you understand me.” “Yes. I do, perfectly. You said you never wanted to bo engaged again.” “But do you know why?” “No, and I don’t care." “It’s because I want to marry the girl I am engaged to now.” And the world became beautiful once more.—Washington Star. How Verdi roitntl reuoe. It is told of Yerdi that when ho was, spending a summer at Moncalierj a friend found him occupying a small loom for eating, sleeping and receiving his friends, and Vdrdi observed that lie had two largo rooms, but he had filled them with certain articles lie Itnd hired. And he opened a door and showed huh’ 95 barrel organs. “When I came here,” said, the com poset, "all these played 'Rigoletto,' ‘11 Trovatore’ and similar rubbish from morning tonight. I hired tnem for the season for 1,500 lire and am at peace.
