PICKPOCKETS

T.T.J* tired with fighting pickpockets. He sometimes, in fact many times, feels like giving tip the contest, and saying, come on and help yourselvos to anything you can find about me, only don't take the pants themselves. This wail is not called forth by the attacks of technical pickpockets. T. T. never lost a cont by ond of the so called "lightfingered gentry" in bis life nor, so far as be knows, did one of these ever attempt to relieve him of bla ready cash. But these pickpockets are tho fewest in number and least to be feared of all that legion which ought to go by this name and do not. Warning is posted in depots and places where crowds gather, "Beware of pickpockets." Nonsense! Ten to one the man who tacked up the warning is a pickpocket, the printer who printed it another, the owners of the building where it is posted are pick pockets, and nine out of ten of those who read it. and befp an eye, or a hand, upon their pookotbooks, belong to the same class. Pickpockets, indeed! The Litany ought to read: "Have mercy on us miserable pickpockets." It some times seems to T. T. that half his time, and more than half his strength, is spent in nn t-tfort, often vain, to keep other people's hands out of his pocket*.

T. T. does not desire to parade bis charities, but a while klnce, fiuding an old woman i»lok, and very poor, and without medical Attendance, he told a doctor to attend upon her and he would pay tbe bill. He knew the said doctor was not overrun with business, and thought himself killing two birds with one stone—helping the old woman and the doctor, too—but he didn't suppose the fellow was going to make twice as many calls as were needed, and then charge for twice as many as he made. But that Is Just what he did. Evidently he thought T. T. was good pay, and he'd make a bill. After three visits were made he was told thwt be was not needed any longer, and then be run in two two or three times more, saying he was going by and thought ne woull Just run In and see bow the poor woman was getting along. And then be sent T. T. a bill for twelve visits. Three were made by order, three contrary to order, and six were never made at all. And T. T. muat have a fight—tongue fight— and be accused of being mean, and all that stuff, before lie could get a true bill rendered.

But doctors are no worse than other people. They are, upon a whole, considerably better than tbe average, T. T. thinks. Probsbly few would attempt such a barefaced poak^tpicking process as this. But T. T.'s experience is that nine out of ten, more he thinks, of men in all pursuits, will make as big bill* as they can agalnit a m»u who Is good pay and doesn't look closely after such matters.

A mean man, whn goss sbout the world with a tight grip upon his pocketbook and never pays a bill without the carsfulest scrutiny, and then worries his creditor till he takes off five or ten per cent., more or lets, doesn't have his pocket picked. But an honest, honorable man, who wants to pay everybody hla due, and does it oheerAillly. will find that he wlU get tearfully fleeced.

It was only the other day that T. T. was standing at a meat stall, and one of those honorable men, who wouldn't haggle about the price of anything, though he was not rich, paid twelve and a half oeuta a pound for exactly the same cut from which one of these tightfisted specimen* of»humanity had a piece tor ten cents, .In the market pockets are picked by a fine exterior containing a mean Interior.

T. T. saw some floe oranges for twenty-five cents a dozen. Bought a dozen, and when he reached home (bund them to be hardly half tbe site they seemed on tbe street. He found that the fellow had (died the nice ones outside, and behind them were the miserable things which nobody would have bought if they had aeon them. Of

course yonr sharp and mean man, who is always suspicious that other people are up toss many mean tricks as he is, would have watched tbe fellow while he put up the oranges. He'd picked too many pockets himself to have his picked.

So it goes the world over. At tbe dry goods and the wet goods stores, at the grocery man's, the market, the doctor's, tbe lawyer's, the hotel, the saloon wherever an honest and honorable man attempta to get served, and is willing to pay for what he wants and gets, ten to one be will be obliged to pay for what be don't want, or don't get, or have a row

T. T. is tired of this method of doing business. Affter the temperance movement is over, let's have a movement to induce men to sign a p'edge to abstain from picking pockets.

AN ORIGINAL AMI ItlttAN..'

In the editorial department of Harper's Magazine for March, is a pleasant and appreciative little sketch of Henry D. Tboreau, in which it is said that while be was not known to many while he lived, his fame ba since steadily in creased and that he wili be remembered as one of tbe moat original of Americans, no more to be forgotten than Haw thorne. And tbis is true, for while the two men resemble each other in no single quality, each possesses an originality of his own tbat is altogether uosurpa?sa ble It must be ooofessed of Thoreau that he was an eccentric. He never married, never voted, never attended church and never paid a tax. The latter be refused to do because be objeoted to some of tbe uses which tbe revenues of tbe town were put to. He graduated at Harvard College at the

Odd as Thoreau was in bis theory and practioe of life, his books are fresh and delightful. He waa a born naturalist, and never tired of wstcbing tbe babits and customs of birds, flowers, fisb, reptiles and all the myriad forms of life in nature., His diction is wonderfully sweet and pure and his words have al) the effect of colois in a painting. In "Walden" ho says: "Sometimes, having bad a surfeit of human society, and gossip, and worn out all my village friends, I rambled s.ill farther westward than I habitually dwell, into yet more unfrequented parts or' tbe town, or, while tbe sun was setting, made my supper of huckleberries and blueberries on Fair Haven Hill, and laid up a store for a few days Tbe fruits do not yield their true flavor to tbe purchaser of them, nor to him who raises them for the market. There is but one way to obtain it, yet few take that way. If you would know the flavor or huckleberries, ask tbe cowboy or tbe partridge. A huckleberry never reaches Boston they have not been known there since they grew on her three hills. The ambrosial and essential part of tbe fruit is lost with the bloom which is rubbed off in tbe market cart, and they become mere provender."

His essay, "Autumnal Tints," published in tbe Atlantio in 1862, is one of the finest pleoos of word painting in the whole range of literature. It la full of poetical sentiment, keen observation and practical suggestion. Leaves and grasses, el tits, oaks and maples, all come in for a patient and painataking and poeti.-al analysis and description at his hand. Passages like this take us back a score of years to tbe time when, as barefooted boys, we carried water through the fields from the spring down by the river: ''The other day I could hardly find a well-known spring, and even suspected tbat it bad dried up, for It was completely concealed by freshly fallen leaves and when .1 swept them aside and revealed it, it waa like striking the earth with Aaron's rod for anew spring. Wet ground about the edges of swamps look dry with tbem. At qne swamp, when I was surveying, thinking to step on a leafy shore from a rail, I got Into tbe water more than afoot deep."

Again, speaking of the leaves he says "What wholesome herb drinks are to be bad in the swamps now I What strong medicinal, but rich, scents from the decaying leaves! The rain falling on the freshly dried herbs and leaves, and filling the pools and ditches Into which they bare dropped thus dean and rigid, will soon convert them into tea green, black, brown and yellow teas, of all degreee of strength, enough to set all nature gossiping whether we drink tbem or not, as yet, before their strength Is drawn, these leaves, dried on great Nature's coppers, are of such various pure

and delicate tints as might make the fame of Oriental teas.' »«J. In his essay on "Wild" Apples," be says of the applet* left unfathered on tbe trees. "To appreciate tbe wild, and sharp flavors of these October fruits, it is necessary tbat you be breathing tbe sharp October or November air. Tbe out-door air and exercise which the walker gets give a different tone to his palate and he craves a fruit which the sedentery would call harsh and crabbed. Tbey must be eaten in tbe fields, when your system is all aglow with exercise, when tbe frosty weather nips your fingers, tbe wind rattles the bare boughs or rustled tbe few remaining leaves, and the jay is heard screaming around. What is sour in tbe bouse a bracing walk makes sweet. Some of these apples might be labele^, 'To be eaten in tbe wind.'"

It would be hard to find anything more beautiful than this, from his essay on "Walking:" "We had a remarkable sunset one day Ja9t November. I was walking in a meadow, the source of a small brook, when tbe sun at last, just before setting, after a cold gray day, reached a clear stratum in the horizon, and the softest, brightest morning sunlight fell on the dry grass and on the stems of tbe trees in the opposite hori zon, and on the leaves of the shrub-oaks on the bill side, while our shadows stretched long over the meadow eastward, as if we were tbe only motes in its beams. It was such a light as we could not have imagined a moment before, and tbe air also wa9 so warm and serene that nothing was wanting to make a paradise of that meadow. When we reflected tbat this was not a solitary phenomenon, never to happen again, but tbat it would happen forever and ever an infinite number of evenings, and cheer and reassure the latest child that walked there, it

WORTHY OF REMARK, "m Hon. Pat, Shannon, at his headquarters in Indianapolis this week set an example worthy of imlution by men of all parties, for tbe democratic politicians now a days, fall short of .monopolizing tbe Inducements supposed to attach to a drink of whisky. In tbe convention editorial correspondence of tbe Gazette we find the following paragraph

One thin* is notioiab'.e and worth/ of remark. We call the attention of Mrs. Russell and her cohorts to it. A great many of tbe candidates, all of them, I have been told, with one exception, have "bug juice"— I quoto from tbe language of some of the converts at tbe meetings—in their rooms, wherewith to revive the flagging courage of their friends. There is one exception. Where do you suppose it is. Why! in the rooms of Terre Haute's candidate. Put a great big white mark there, and as the beys say 'don't you forget it."

O rippling river of laughter, thou art the blessed boundary line between tbe beast snd man, and every wayward wave of thine doth drown some fretfal fiend of care.

A troupe of female minstrels at the Opera House to-night. Col. Hayward's Minstrels play at tbe Opera House next Wednesday evening. Pana, Illinois, is tbe home of this troupe, as yet unknown to fame.

Joe Murphy comes back with his "Kerry Gmv" on Thursday evening of next week. Tbe favorable impression made by Mr. Murphy and his admirable company in tbis excellent play, on the occasion of tbe recent visit wili insure a large audience on tbis occasion. "Kerry Gow" is not oDe of tbe stereotyped Irish dramas. It is so different tbat it is only from location that it derives its character. It is poetical and refined in sentiment, the characters strongly drawn, and so constructed that the first, second and last acts carry expectancy to the highest pitch, ending with powerful and thrilling situations. Through tbe entire play run altercating veins of humor and pathos, most happily and judiciously blended, which oolor with highly agreeable sentiment the interesting story.

The rehearsals of the Oratorio Society with orchestral aocompaniment, continues, and develop more fully the re markable beauties of tbe "Hymn of Praise." We will have occasion, next week, to speak of the coming event and give tbe programme for the concert which our musical friends will remem ber is set for Friday, March 8th.

Alight bouse for the Strakoscb Opera Company at Elgin, 111., recently, was charged to tbe fact tbat a local fortune teller bad predicted tbe burning of tbe ball tbat evening. It did not burn.

On the Sunday before "The Exiles'* was, produced in the Boston Theatre, tbe Rev. Edward Everett Hale prayed in bis pulpit for "the exiles in our midst." The managers rewarded him with an offer of free tickets, and he accepted eight. "A Celebrated Case," by the author of "Two Orphans," gives promise of being as popular as tbe latter drama. It is well received at tbe Union Sqnare Theatre, and a company is being formed to produce it in the principal cities.of the United States.

Reduction of prices st the Philadelphia theatres has succeeded well, every seat in tbe houses being taken,a direct contrast to the former condition of affairs. Some of the managers fought the new arrangement, but finally had to succumb to the manifest wish of their audiences snd regular patrons.

Boston has originated a society for the "Elevation of tbe Stage," the aim of which is to purifjr the drama, and make it, as of old a teacher of good morals. After the organization the first thing was an entertainment for the benefit of tbe treasury, and tbe plays of "Rip Ysn Winkle and "DiV3itw" were selected. Comment is unneoessary.

In Boucicault'a "Dead Secret," which made a direful failure at the Fifth Avenue Theater, in New York, the three leading characters deliberately commit bigamy, and tbe the heroine administers a cop of cold pisen te her liege lord, in order to consummate an elopement with a profligate.

tFarm Notes.

A farmers's eya among his stock is worth more than his hands. ,, Do up the chores. Many of these*days may be spent in chopping the wood for next summer.

There are four million voting farmers in the United States. Ask unitedly and you can get whatever you ask.

Always feed your hand) as well as you feed yourself, for the laboring men are the bone and sinew of tbe land, and ought to be well treated.

A man who leaves a farm to spend his days in idleness proves conclusively tbat be is not adapted to any business, and wili be sooner or later a failure.

At a recent farmer's meeting in Massachusetts a speaker gave a recipe for making farming pay, as follows: "Have but one business, and gee up in the morning and see to it yourself." l--.

A curiosity of incubation is recorded by Land and Water as common in certain English counties, from whence is drawn the chief supply of geese.

The correspondent who believes tbat Eli Perkins is over 100 years old, and draws tbat deduction from tbe great age of some of the humorist's jokes, is certainly wrong. Eli is youthful, and, although it is interesting to speculate as to bow some of bis original jolces can be centenarians while he Is their junior by 70 years or more, tbe fact remains tbat be is in bis vigorous and humorous prime. *5?

James Morris spent his 98th and last year in a poor house ne&r Milwaukee. He had been a drunkard for over a half a century, and had habitually violated the commonest rules of health. On Christmas day he begged money enough to go on a spree, and a charitable laav gave biin half a dollar,which he expended so carefully tbat he was able to keep, intoxicated during half of holiday week. He never recovered from a cold caught while sleeping in a damp and breezy gutter.

I know but one Instance of a man having been hung for killing another in a duel. In 1830, two oung fellows in Belleville. Sc. Clair county, Illinois, had a personal quarrel.

One of them, Alphonso Stewart, challenged the other, William Bennett, to meet him with rifles. Bennett accepted the challenge, and tbe parties met near tbe village. It is said tnat Stewart was in tbe secret and tbat Bennett was not, but believed it to be a renlity. In any event, after the guns hsd been handed to the prindpals and they turned to take tbeir positions. Bennett, wbo claimed tbat hs suspected some sort of trickery, roiled a
