Prominent New York Jews are agitating the adoption of Sunday as the Sabbatb.
Some pianists are so expert in variations that they often play all round a melody without ever hitting It once.
In the summer Mr. Edison proposes to have small motors that will be a table ornament, to keep fans waving to cool heated ladles.
Stedman says that "no severer test can be applied to a writer thau that of his ability to furnish leading articles regularly" to a daily paper.
Col. Ingersoll's father was a Presby terian minister. The two grown dsugh ters of the former have never been in side a church. So says a floating para graph.
Down in Mississippi a man named Simon Legree has jast got bold of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and he wants damages for tbe atrocious|use of his name.
An engraver in New York recently made this awful mistake: "Mr. and Mrs. respectfully request your presents at tbe marriage of their daughter." Engravers, like children and fools, are evidently inclined to apeak the truth.
A negro in Columbus, Ga., was put on trial for a murder of which he was innocent but, to clear himself, it was necessary for him to confess that, at the time of the crime, he was elsewhere stealing a horse. He kept silent until it became evident that he was to be con victed, and then he proved tbe alibi, and went to States prison for ten years,
The difference between the Massachusetts man who killed his daughter with a knife, and tbe Ontario man who tried to kill a casual doctor with an axe, is that the former fancied

tbe command of God, while the latter imagined he was carrying out th£ wishes of the devil. Of the two, the Canadian lunatic is the more coherent in his delusion. I
A paper largely devoted to etiquette says: "Gentlemen wearing full dress at tbe opera may visit any part of the house in which they have friends but it is not good taste for them to seat themselves among those not dressed with similar gorgeousness." Gentlemen in full dress, who are in the habit of going out between tbe acts and permitting man who wears a sack coat and a red necktie to pay for their beer, should read up in etiquette.
The usually wide awake drummer gets absent minded sometimes, and then something like this happens, as related by the Rondout Freeman "An agent for aNew York house
cajled
o$ 'a merj
ckant yesterday, and banded him a picture of his betrothed instead of a business card, saying that he represented that establishment. The merchant examined it carefully, remarked that it was a fine establishment, and re turned it to the astonished man, with hope that he would soon be admitted into partnership."
A witty journalist the other day, in speaking of the tendency to grow conservative after remaining in Washing ton for some time, was asked why it was that when he first went there he abused nearly everybody, and that now he abused almost nobody. Said he: "I have discovered that the average rascal in Washington has rascalijy for his capital stock in trade, and the very fact that he is a scoundrel, and is known as such, gives the basis of his prosperity. And the simple fact of your calling him a scoundrel, aud proving it, merely gives him a gratuitous advertisement for his already thriving business." „".
When Thad Stevens was a young lawyer in the Pennsylvania courts, he once lost his case by what he considered a wrong ruling of the judge. Disgusted, he banged his law book on the table, picked up his bat, and started for the door with some vigorous words In bis mouth. The judge feeling that his dignity was assailed, rose impressively and said: "Mr. Stevens!" Mr. Stevens stopped, turned and bowed deferentially. "Mr. Stevens," said the judge, "do you intend by such conduct to express your contempt for this oeurt?" And Stevens, with much seriousness, answered: "Express contempt for this court I No, sir! I was trying to conceal It, your honor!"
