"A Listener" cards tho Express to say that a little personal in last week's Mail in regard to a zealous lady worker in the tomperance cause falling asleep and from hor chair at one of the meetings, was not true.

Henry Ward Beecher, at a recent press club dinner, said that if the city of New York were built of glass, so that everybody could see what everybody else was doing, the morality of the city would rise 50 per cent, in one year.
A furniture dealer seized upon a woman's baby for a debt of $8, but after keeping it two days he was glad to give his debtor f5 to relieve him of his charge. A baby who can't make Ufe miserable for two or three persons will die very young.
The telephone lately was put to quite a novel use. An Indian at San Diego, Cal., was told that a voice through the telephone was that of the Great Spirit, and when it said, "Give up those stolen horses," he immediately confessed that he was a thief.
It is the practice of Senator Fair, of Nevada, to address every man and boy he meets as "My son," regardless of age. In speaking to women he usually says, 'My dear child." It would be amusing to hear him address Senator David Davis patronizingly as "My son."
A western correspondent who visited Senator Bruce at his home in Washington, says the furniture of 'his parlors is "rich and elegant, and the boks, pic tures and other ornaments are of such a character and so arranged as to denote refined taste as well as ample means."
Senator Jones, of Nevada, occupies General Butler's house on Capitol Hill which is almost under the shadow of the Capitol. He pays a royal rent and lives like a prince. His house being so near the Capitol, it is a favorite place for the Senators to drop in and get a "little suthin" when the feeling comes on.
Those who ever find excuse for their own low standard of business morality by condemning that of others, may find food for contemplation in the following: "Mr. Charles Rous, of Baltimore, produce merchant, who compromised with his creditors in 1879 for fifty cents on the dollar has sent each creditor a check for the balance with six per cent, added for interest.
A fool by the name of Day, living in Bergen county, N. J., has written a pamphlet to prove that General Garfield is not eligible to the Presidency because the Constitution declares that a person must have been "fourteen years resident within the United States to be eligible to the office of President," and as General Garfield in 1867 spent several months in Europe, he is ineligible, and General Hancock should be declared President. Next.
Miss Grundy has the assurance to declare that the White House dinner table is often overcrowded, as from thirty-six to forty people are seated around it, *and I have heard those who have been among the number when there were no more than thirty-six say that the guests were JSO close together that it was impossible to move an arm, and eating was possible only by two sitting Side by side agreeing to 'ride and tie,' so to speak— one eating while the other refrained, so as to give room to handle a knife and fork." "Give as good as you take" was well illustrated at Lexington, Ky., recently. In that town Brignoli, the tenor, in company with a number of gentlemen, was entertained by H. Price McGrath. After dinner some one asked Brignoli to favor the party with a song. Hereplied that singing was his profession, and he only practiced it upon the stage. A short while afterward be expressed a desire to see Mr. McGrath'• horses. The latter told him that racing was his profession, and if he toould come to the next spring meeting an opportunity to see his horses would be afforded. Brignoli returned to his hotel without get-
Ling
a glimse of Tom Bowling or his stable mates.

How to Dress Flab.
"Brother fishes." said the whale one day when 'school' didn't keep, "why cau't you dress up like other folks?" Because we spend so much time in drink," said an aged Sucker. A deep fiass voice said it was because all of them hadn't the necwarj "shad scales." "Mac-er-'ell of a difference if we were dressed up J" said eome one, causing the Whale to a»k who it was that "sword," and he was informed that it was the Swordfish.
