Burlington Hawk-Eyetems. And now, how about a monument to Brigham Young? A BURLINGTON policeman saw a banana peeling on the sidewalk, and promptly arrested it for disorderly conduct. ALFRED TENNYSON has a brother who sees "spirits." Comes of reading the family poetry too regularly, may be. Two Indian doctors came to the city last week, and the undertakers immediately hired an extra run of clerks. Business is looking up. The grand encampment of the Knights Templar of the United States, at Cleveland, has used up all the initials this side of the Atlantic ocean. MARK TWAIN says solitary confinement furnishes the best condition for literary labor. This is consoling to an editor who gets the raw end of the law in a libel suit. The mills of the gods may, and doubtless they do, grind very slowly, but the slowest one of them distances a hand organ on the "Last Rose of Summer" stop, every tune. We can't see why Frank Leslie failed. He stole every line he ever published. In a reckless moment he must have given somebody credit, although we can't remember when. THE Berlin gorilla that learned to drink and smoke has delighted Mr. Darwin by a still further symptom of high civilization. The other day he swore at his keeper. THEY have swimming matches in San Francisco. Any match will swim well enough, but no match is good for much for illuminating purposes after it has swam a mile or two. A MAN out in Western Iowa has just been sentenced to the penitentiary for ninety-nine years. He thinks it is the longest sentence on record since Mr. Evarts lost his breath. It is supposed that Charles Francis Adams acquired his cold, frigid, appalling reserve and hauteur by studying a woman clerk in a dry goods store waiting upon a woman customer. THE West Hill man's wife presented him with triplets last week, and only yesterday we saw that man going home, trundling a baby-wagon so wide that it looked like a covered horse-rake. Reason in Matrimony. Love marriages are, as a rule, not so successful as what the French call marriages de raison. Poets, novelists, and sentimentalists may write what they please, but this is the result of hard, prosaic experience. Most girls thoroughly realize it, and the worldly position of an admirer is a considerable element in the amount of trouble which is devoted to an attempt to hook him. And why not? Is a girl to wreck all her prospects in life because a year or two after she is out of the school-room she feels an uncontrollable desire to marry some lad who cannot support her? This is, however, the sound and practical view of life presented in novels and plays. Down goes the curtain so soon as the happy pair have been joined together for the rest of their existence, while this "rest" is left to the imagination. Fortunately for girls they are endowed with enough plain common sense to see the absurdity of all this. But although they act in the matter of marriage with wisdom, they feel themselves obliged to pretend to agree with the impractical trash of novelists and dramatists. In France marriages de raison prevail. The girl who is to be married is but little consulted about her future husband, and unless he is absolutely repugnant to her the alliance is arranged, to her perfect satisfaction, for her by her parents. Yet French wives, as a rule, have a sincere affection for their husbands. They feel that they have entered into a partnership for life with them. Habit does the rest, and these marriages are, with rare exceptions, happy. In America the girl is left to pick and choose her husband herself. She is as free as is the married woman in the Old World, indeed more free. From having to look after her own interests she becomes alive to what they are, and while all American marriages are termed love marriages, few are contracted on a basis of love without any regard to more practical considerations. In England girls are neither left entirely to themselves nor are they, as in France, placed, as regards marriage, under the tutelage of their parents. The consequence is that English girls sometimes allow themselves to be carried away by a passing feeling in favor of a man, marry him, and regret it ever afterward, for they are pursued through life with the idea that they might in all probability have done better for themselves. My moral is, therefore, this: Let no girl fancy Hare and The game is played boys from ten to eleven often boys who do school are members very often too, the best runners in the race.

Over three hundred New York cigar makers are on a strike and they will have to buy their cigars now, just like the rest of us. This appears to be about the only privilege their strike brings them. It is enough to understand why the colored cadets at West Point graduated so honorably, and came out of the academy with so few vices. The white Napoleons will not speak nor associate with them. The cable informs us that General Grant has received the freedom of Inverness. If the general remains in Europe much longer, it won't cost him a cent to go anywhere, all the same as an editor at the circus. The largest watermelon of the season has been brought to this office. It was ten feet long and weighed 362 pounds; the heart contained 498,362 seeds and 11,243 cases of cholera morbus, and the Mississippi bridge company bought the two halves of the rind for bridge caissons. In Chambersburg, Illinois, they fine a man ten dollars for spitting tobacco on the floor of a church, and the rigid enforcement of this law has driven nearly all the male church members to the inconvenient necessity of raising one end of the cushion and spitting on the seat. "Inquirer" writes to know if, with all our scolding at the developments of Spiritualism, "we can account for the peculiar phenomena of Spiritual manifestations!" We always supposed they were merely the astrologians of certain intangible and correlative forces or an antiseptic antagonisms, gradient or occult. If that isn't we give it up. The other day a noble Indian walked into the presence of Chief Joseph, and held up the new scalp of one of General Howard's soldiers, who had straggled too far to the front. "Why," asked the noble brave, "is this like a Globe-Demoerat joke?" The wily chieftain gave it up. "Because," said the child of the forest, "it is fur fetched." And there was silence in the wigwam for the space of half an hour. Rev. David Swing thinks it is the duty of the father of the family to set a card-table in his sitting-room and teach his sons to play. Good enough. And then the boys could play waxed cards on the old man at circus times, and beat him out of enough to take the whole crowd into the tent and set up the red lemonade besides. It would be a grand improvement over the old plan of stealing lead pipe and carrying water for the elephant. Yesterday morning there were rumors of another circus in town. "Calli A Costly Joke—An English farmer has recently been compelled to pay the costs of a practical joke.

My moral is, therefore, this: Let no girl fancy that she is wise in making a bad match, because she imagines the former to be a love match. Love is not affection. From its very nature it is but a temporary impulse, and in most cases a singularly silly impulse, which has become to be regarded as something almost divine, owing to the absurd nonsense that poets and others have written about it. When Miss Smith takes it into her head that life is unendurable unless passed as Mrs. Jones, there is nothing to be commended in her acting upon this notion, and should she do so and marry the impeccunious Jones, she will, probably, within a year, when the novelty of Jones is worn off, sincerely regret that she did not accept the offer of the prosperous Robinson. A man who has half a million is in no way superior to a man who has ten thousand, but evidently, all things else being equal, it would be wiser to enter into a partnership with the former than with the latter; and what is marriage but a partnership for life? It is really shocking that common sense has not yet done away with the absurdity of supposing that two silly fools, holding each others hands, looking into each others eyes, and feeling that they would like to do this for the rest of their natural existence, are a spectacle for men and angels to admire. No; affection is all very well, but it is just as easy to feel affection for Jones as for Robinson. Except as the result of a morbid and diseased imagination, love at first sight does not exist. Affection is lasting, while love is normally but a temporary aberration. Love may be toned down into affection, but, as a rule, affection is merely the result of two persons being thrown much together, and having many interests in common. The advice I would give to girls intending to marry is: Keep your head clear, and look out for the best commercial partnership that you can find. If you do not positively dislike your future partner you will find that after you have married him, you will like him, and in a reasonable, sensible way, love him. There is nothing mercenary or selfish in this view of marriage. Of course it is more agreeable to be endowed with much of this world's goods than with little of them. If Brown Jones and Robinson all want to marry you, each one is personally, in all probability, neither better nor worse than the others. Therefore, if Brown is well-to-do, and Jones and Robinson are not in a position which would justify their marrying, then I say marry Brown, unless there is some very excellent reason to the contrary—Home Journal.

"Calliope! calliope!" shouted the boys and came trooping down the streets, following up the noise, until at last they stood in front of a dentist's office and gazed upon each other in crestfallen silence, while a woman's voice streaked the pale air with falsetto notes. Then the lads spoke sadly and disgusted one to another, "Pullin' a tooth," and the congregation dispersed. In declining the appointment as chairman of the Sitting Bull Commission, recently tendered us by the President, we wish to assure Mr. Hayes that we do not shrink from any peril connected with the appointment, but the fact of our connection with a decidedly political newspaper is a bar to our acceptance of a position under a non-political administration. Let the President withdraw his "politics and office-holding" order, and we will collar Sitting Bull in a minute. Salary invariably in advance. DINNERS AT POMPEII.—From a painting recently discovered at Pompeii, it appears that even in those days, men knew what good living was. Here is a neat and somewhat substantial dinner of three courses which the painting portrays. An immense dish containing four peacocks stands in the centre of the table, surrounded by lobsters, one holding a blue egg in his claws, another a stuffed rat, another an oyster, and the fourth a basketful of grasshoppers. This tempting dish would probably answer to our "roast." At the bottom of the table are four dishes of fish, and above them partridges, hares and squirrels; each holding its head between its paws. Entrees, no doubt. The whole is encircled by a sort of German sausage, apparently, and then come a row of yolks of eggs, a row of peaches, melons and cherries; and lastly, a row of vegetables of different sorts. Dessert. RICHMOND, Va., is to be improved in the way of parks. A COSTLY Joke.—An English farmer has recently been compelled to pay the costs of a practical joke. He was sitting in the bar-room of the Greyhound Inn one night and taking his usual tankard of ale, when his eye chanced to fall on the sleeping form of a man with a long beard. He went to the fire, and lighting a piece of paper, deliberately applied it to the sleeping man's beard. There was a bright, rushing flame for a second or two; the man sprang to his feet in agony; the joke was complete, and the farmer roared in ecstacy. The unfortunate sufferer, who happened to be the village tailor, knew that the farmer was a man of substantial means, and acted accordingly. He brought an action for $250 damages in the Malmesbury County Court in due course. According to the plaintiff's evidence, his beard was eighteen inches long when he lay down, after having some ale. The next thing he remembered was his face being on fire, while a man helped to put out the flame. The defendant sat in his seat roaring with laughter, and did not offer any assistance, nor did he offer any apology for what he had done. His lips were burned severely, his face was blistered, his beard, eyebrows, and eyelashes were burned to the skin, and one eye and one ear scorched. The magistrate awarded him $250 and costs. KEEP BUSY.—The man who has nothing to do is the most miserable of beings. If you have no regular work, do chores, as farmers do when it rains too hard to work in the field. In occupation we forget our troubles, and get a respite from sorrow. The man whose mind and hands are busy finds no time to weep and wall. If work is slack, spend the time in reading. No man ever knew too much. The hardest students in the world are the old men who know the most. CUSTOMER (to a vendor of watermelons) — "Ian't a dollar rather a large price for a watermelon!"

The game is played chiefly by school-boys from ten to sixteen years old, though often boys who do not belong to the school are members of the "hunt," and very often, too, the little fellows are the best runners in the party. The boys divide themselves into two parties, each having its "champion runner," and lots are drawn as to which of these runners shall be the "hare" in the first hunt of the season, afterward they go by turn. The rest of the boys are the "hounds," and the other champion is the huntsman who marshals them to the "meet" (which is usually the school play-grounds), gives the signal for the start, calls them off by a shrill whistle when they get on the wrong scent, and, in fact, is "master of the hounds," par excellence. The "hare" is provided with a small, open satchel or pouch, slung across his shoulder, and filled with bits of white paper about an inch square—heavy paper that wind will not carry away. It is the privilege of the small boys who are too little to take part in the hunt to prepare these bits of paper, and for a day or two before a "run" they have great fun in preparing "scent," as they call it. The hare is allowed five minutes "head start," and is allowed to chase his own course, but is obliged to scatter the bits of white paper at short intervals all along the way he goes, as they are his tracks for the hounds to follow. The five minutes given him he usually spends in seeking for some obscure place at which he leaves a little package of yellow or blue paper to denote the starting-point. This may be some blocks away, or up a side street, or just around the corner; he has his choice and a free opportunity to seek it, as the "hounds" go within doors till the five minutes are up. Then the huntsman cries "whoop! halloo!" and away they all bound hither and thither, seeking till they find the package of colored paper (which they are obliged to do before they can start); the finder must cry "hark! forward!" then off they go, on the scent. Sometimes so long a time is taken up in finding the starting-point that the hare makes famous headway, and can "double" on his followers—that is, retrace his way for a block or two on the other side of the street (leaving the bits of paper all along, of course), go round a block, or, if they are in the country, he probably How to Get an Appetite. To a man or woman without an appetite "the best market affairs" presents little or no attraction. The sooner such a hapless individual puts the gastric orgasm in a condition to enjoy the edible comforts which a beautiful providence has provided, the more reason there will be to feel grateful for the suggestion. To do this, invigorate the stomach with Hostetter's Stomach Bitterna which will enable that organ to digest properly, and since good digestion is the parent of appetite, give birth to a desire for food at the intervals appointed by nature. With chronic want of appetite are unusually associated nerviness, biliousness and constipation, three evils which are speedily overcome by the Bitterna. All persons of a dyspeptic or billion tendency should use this healthful tonic daily, or at least three or four times a week. A prerequisite of this course will soon insure and confirm a radical change for the better in the condition of the stomach and associate organs. Leef's & Co.'s California Yeast Cakes.

Sometimes so long a time is taken up in finding the starting-point that the hare makes famous headway, and can "double" on his followers—that is, retrace his way for a block or two on the other side of the street (leaving the bits of paper all along, of course), go round a block, or if they are in the country, he probably makes for the woods, goes in some distance, then turns back, perhaps, till he finds some leafy tree, up which he climbs and hides himself till the "hounds" have gone by; anything to put them off the track. When the hare has gone far enough, and wishes to return, especial care must be taken, as if he is seen, the hounds can rush after him, "cross lots," and woe beide him if he is caught! He is no longer champion, but has to give up his badge to the fortunate "catcher," and cannot even be one of the hounds till he has paid a certain forfeit demanded by rule—usually something good to eat. If the hare gets successfully home to the play-ground, the opposite party has to "stand treat;" so you may imagine how hard each strives to win. It is a capital game when really played according to rules, and English boys think the rules half the sport. It has been played for several generations—an old game—not only in England, but wherever English boys have gone, or English games are known. I should not wonder if some of the boy readers of St. Nicholas already know about this game, since so many of their English cousins come to this country. If so, this account must be for those who have not heard of it. In Scotland I think boys enjoy the game fully as much as in England, keep closer to the rules, and welcome each hunting-day as eagerly as the first one of the season. Wednesday and Saturday afternoons are usually chosen for hunts; though sometimes an indulgent teacher will give the whole school an extra half-holiday for a "hunt." Does it seem strange to think of having only a half of Saturday for play? It is almost a universal custom, at least in Scotch country places, to have school on Wednesday and Saturday mornings till noon, giving the rest of those days for a holiday, and boys there seem to like it so. I suppose that is because they have never known any other way. But they get a great deal of enjoyment out of their "halfties" (as they call those holidays), and after school-hours as well, though school does not usually close till four o'clock. That is late, isn't it? But Scotch summer-days hardly seem to have any end. All through June, July and August (on the west coast principally), it is as light at ten o'clock in the evening as it is in our country at seven, so games go on all through the "gloamin'"; tired feet turn gladly homeward, where weared heads seek downy pillows, and bright eyes close in the sound, healthful sleep that comes so quickly to happy childhood...

Profits of Theatres. The stage, like the pulpit, rarely pays in the business sense. The science of profitable management is yet to be discovered. It is noted that the only London theatres that realize profits for their managers are those which run single pieces or a long time. Hence the tendency there, as in New York, to quit the old practice of changing the play every night or week, and to give attention exclusively to "hits" which may run a hundred or more nights. It will surprise some who imagine the theatrical business to be a very profitable one, to learn that "Drury Lane" has never prospered as a commercial speculation for the last seventy years. The original committee of proprietors found themselves in debt and unable to pay the performers. The theatre was then let to the highest bidder, who happened to be Robert William Eiliston, and he undertook to pay an annual rent of 10,000 guineas, and expend £15,000 in repairs, which hurried him into insolvency long before the expiration of his fourteen years' lease. Captain Polhill, who afterward became the lessee, lost £30,000 in three years; and Alfred Bunn and W.J. Hammond both became bankrupts by the speculation. During the managements of Mr. E.T. Smith and Mr.F.B. Chatterton, the brief pantomime period at Christmas has been alone remunerative, and the other portions of the year, whatever may be played, invariably lead to disastrous losses. It is claimed for Glasgow that it is the greatest Presbyterian city in the world. There are in it 185 Presbyterian churches. Of these, 49 belong to the State Kirk, 70 the Free Church, and 52 to the United Presbyterians. There are in Glasgow only 35 churches of all other denominations. HOW Picture Frames & Chromes.

By imitating the example of some others, I could easily afford to sell "coffee" at as low prices, as could be named, but my ambition is to build a reputation on purity and excellence alone. My Pure Compressed Coffee is in no sense an extract or preparation from coffee, but simply the best coffee, carefully selected, roasted, ground and compressed after a formula which at once fixes and permanently retains all its exhilarating and refreshing qualities, among which are caffeine, its volatile oils and catechin acids, which lose nearly if not quite all their virtues before they reach the table of the consumer, in any of the old methods of preparing coffee for immediate use. This fact is well understood by experienced coffee men, and to supply the unavoidable deficiencies, chicory, stale bread, rye, certain barks and other foreign substances have been added in the way of adulteration until now the people scarcely know what pure coffee is. And with the belief that dealers and the best class of consumers will welcome and sustain me in my efforts to supply a pure, wholesome and delicious article, I now offer it direct to the retail dealers at $25 cents a pound cash, no charge for cartag. This coffee is an equal mixture of the very best Java and Costa Rica, and is put up in handsome style, under the brand of "MOCHA QUALITY," and those who once use it will call for no other. It is pure, rich, delicious and wholesome, and always secures uniform excellence in the coffee made from it. Send six dollars and fifty cents for a sample box of 20 pounds, and give your customers something for which they will thank you. Address: A. P. ADAMS, Cor. Fremont and Mission St., San Francisco.
