Never begin a dinner with pie. Never sleep in your overshoes. Never ride a thin horse bare back. Never walk fifteen miles before breakfast. Never carry a barrel of potatoes on your head. Never put your feet in the fire to warm them. Never swallow your food before you chew it. Never jump out of the window for a short gut. Never drink more than you can carry comfortably. Never give a tramp your summer clothes in tire, winter. Never jump more than ton feet to catch a ferry boat. Never sit by a red hot stove with a sealskin cap or ulster on. Never thrust your knife more than halfway down your throat. Never kick an infuriated bull-dog when you have slippers on. Never let your clothes dry on you when you are caught in the rain. Never walk into a parlor at a re ception and put your feet on the man- tlepiece. It will cause the blood tot run to your head. THE DRY MAN. "Glorious country I" cried Frank Seagrave, as the ontward bound steam er for Brazil glided into the smooth estuary of the Tagus, and on either side of her rose the green sunny hills ;and waving woods of beautiful Por tugal. "And glorious weather, too," add- ed Harry Fitzgerald. ''Englishman though I am, I'm not as patriotic as j Marryat's sailor, who, getting back ; to England in the thick of a channel log atter a twelve months cruise in the Mediterranean, growled approv ingly, 'Ah ! this is wliat I call weath er ! None o' yer lubberly blue skies here!'" "Yes, I think the por Bay of Bis cay's been sadly maligned," said his cousin Jack. "We've been right : . e :.i :,i . i .... c, ..u v, AH the day In the Biscay, O !" "We've been mighty lucky so' far, sure enough," put in Cecil Vane, "and the only thing wan ting's a few young ladies." "Well, if that's your complaint, Mr. Vane," said the captain's deep voice from behind, "you'll soon be cured, for we're just going To take aboard as nice a girl as you ever saw. She's an old friend of mind, too; the daughter of my old chum, Fred,For roster, who's coffee-growing in Brazil now, and she's going to him from Lisbon. 'There'll be a pretty stir among you young fellows when Miss Lucy comes. I shouldn't wonder if she even put Mr. Clitheroe out of his course just a little bit." At this there was a gereral laugh, for Winthrop Clitheroe, the only American among the jovial party of five addressed by Capt. Barclay, had already, young Us he was, seen and done so much that to surprise or star tle hm appeared simply impossible. In any real, danger he was the bold est of the bold, but the moment it was over he relapsed into the cool, "don't-care-a-cent" compos ure which had already earned him the nickname of "the dry man." Miss Forrester proved quite as charming as the captain had said, and the effect of her presence was soon apparent. Jack Fitzgerald, hitherto as care less of his dress as any Cossack, sud denly bloomed into an amazing dan dy. His cousin Harry, whose first appearance was usually after the sec ond breakfast bell, took to getting up surprisingly early, and pacing the deck like a sentinel till Lucy's pretty face was seen rising through the com panion way. Franjt Seagrave took to getting up appropriate scraps of poetry on the sly and bringing them in on all oc casions sometimes mixing them up in a very striking fashion : while Cecil Vane who had somehow mistaken himself for an artist, plumed himself upon his cleverness in catting out the rest by getting leave to lake Miss Forrester's portrait, till just as he was about to present it to the charm ing original, he discovered with rage and despair that while his back was turned for a moment, wicked Jack had sketched a short pipe between her cherry lips pouring out a volume of smoke worthy of Vesuvius. But although the captain's prophe cy was correct thus far, he seemed quite at fault as to Clitheroe. The "dry man" went on his dry way just as usual, seeming to trouble himself very little about Lucy or her admir ers. True, he appeared to be always on hand when a seat was to be placed for her, a shawl arranged or a book fetched from the saloon ; but he rare ly stayed to be thanked, and had seemingly much less taste for her so ciety than for that of the sailors, with whom he was immensely popular. So matters stood when one morn ing Clitheroe, to escape the "deck washing" which was cleaning off the grime of the coals taken in at the Cape Verde island, climbed up into the foretop, aud, stretching himself at full length began to read, a move not lost upon his four comrades be low. "Good chance to make our dry man a wet man eh, boys?" whisper ed Jack Fitzgerald, glancing at the 'iggiug; an(l then at the hose pipe, which the sailors had left lying on the deck. "Right you are," grunted Seagrave who was rather cross that rooming, having found Lucy and Clitheroe in such close conversation when became on deck, that he passed almost unno ticed "there, you hold the pipe, and I'll pump." But this mischievous design, like most other designs of the sort, recoil ed upon their own heads. The jet of water, striking agaiust the plank ing of the foretop, fell back upon them in a perfect deluge, while the few drops that did pass between the timbers wasted themselves on the thick plaid upon which Clitheroe was lyiug. "I say, this won t do jrou. know, 1 growled Jack, shaking himself like A water-dog. "Hold hard for half a minute with the hose," Up the rope-ladder he climbed like a cat, with the nozzle of the pipe over his arm. But the wary American was not to be caught so easily. Just as Fitzgerald came within arm's length of him, and gave the signal to pump, Clitheroe suddenly stretched his arm over the edge of the top, and seizing the pipe, turned it back right upon Jack himself, who was instantly drenched to the skin, 'and so staggered that he all battum- bled down headforemost, while his discomfiture was greeted with a hear ty burst of laughter from the crew, the captain, and worse still, Miss For rester herself. But, as if to blot out the memory of his mishap, the four cavaliers be came more attentive than ever; and Lucy, sorely puzzled what to do with them, asked the advice of her friend the captain. "Well, my dear," said the old sail or, "if you want to know wlwch of them likes you the best, that is easily settled. We'll anchor off Per- uambuco to-morrow, and its smooth water inside the reef and no sharks about ; just you manage to fall over board somehow, aud see who 11 jump after you." lhe idea delighted Lucy, who was perfectly fearless, and could swim like a Fijian. Scarcely had they been anchored an hour, when a loud scream startled every one, and Lucy was seen falling from the binnacle into the sea. Her four courtiers instantly plunged after j her ; but Clitheroe (who had seen too A. Hendricks early in the canvass, many real accidents to be deceived by in which he tries to shift the respon Lucy's acting, clever as it was,) guess- nihility for the late frauds in the Bu- ed at once what was intended, and watched the progress of the scene With quiet amusement. J It was lucky for poor Lucy that a boat was so promptly launched to j pick her up, for her four companions j in their eagerness to save her, seemed I much more likely to drown her in- stead. But none the less was the experi- , ment a failure, aud the puzzle as great ! as ever. "Oh, dear !" whispered she to her 1 counselor, "it's no good after all, for thev all lumped together ! Which , am I to prefer ?" Which ?" echoed the captain, look- 1 ing with a broad grin from the drip- ! ping heroes to the imperturble Clitheroe, "which? Why the dry j one, of course ! And so she did. Cleveland's Efforts to Subserve the Interests of the Workiuffmen. A correspondent of the New York Herald, who visited Gov. Cleveland a few minutes after the announcement of his nomination7 for President was received, writes : It was exceedingly difficult for your correspondent to induce the Governor to discuss the convention and its results. He fought shy of all leading questions. This reticence was of course, natural under the peculiar circumstances of the position now oc- cupied by him as the candidate of the Democratic party for President of the United States. However, the Governor answered some questions in his usual tran U way. "I suppose you have carefully watched the proceedings of the con vention ?" "No. I have not. but I have been informed by those about me of the progress made. I have been much gratified by the manly and dignified course taken by those friends in Chi cago who seem to have believed my nomination the wisest, but bae been not a little surprised at the position taken by those who thought other wise. If there are weak points in the record of any mau they should, of course, be developed aud investiga ted before he is token as the candi date of a great party. But to say that I have ever failed to embrace every opportunity afforded me te elevate the condition and subserve the real interests of the workingman and to protect him in ail his rights is false. This, however, is but evidence of the readiness of some persons to make careless statements when engaged in a struggle, and others to accept such statements as facts instead of ascer taining the truth from the records." A crowd of visitors here entered and interrupted any further conver sation. In talking subsequently with some of the Governer's friends who stood in a corner of the executive chamber, your correspondent obtain ed some important information as to the real merits of two pretended labor bills which failed to become laws. One was the mechanics' lien bill. On a careful examination of this measure it is clear to anybody that such a law would injure instead of benefit the workingman, Jt was totally impracticable aud loaded dowu with provisions which would defeat the very ends it sought to accom plish. Jt is charged drawn mainly in the that it was interest of a cliqne of lawyers who aimed at in creasing bills of costs in certain cases. The Governor's memorandum in which fatal objections are noticed reads as follows : "The bill repeals in direct terms a number of mechanics' lein laws, in cluding one specially applicable to the city of New York. I notice two features which I think objectionable enough to warrant me in declining to sign it. First it gives all parties hav ing claims four mouths after perform ance of work or furnishing material to file a lien. Second, it allows on proceedings to enforce the lien the same costs as in foreclosure gases. This would be quite erroneous and, I think, should not be allowed." The bill regulating the hours of labor of drivers and conductors of horse cars is also thoroughly under stood here as tending to injure in stead of benefit the workiugman. The Governor's memorandum in re jecting this measure reads: "It is distinctly and palpably class legislation, in that it only applies to conductors and drivers on horse rail roads. It does not prohibit the mak ing of a contract for any number of hours' work, I think, and if it does, it is an interference with the employ es as well as employers' rights. If the car drivers and conductors work few er hours they must receive less pay, and this bill does not prevent that. I cannot think this bill is in the in terest of the workiugman." Mr. William E. Chandler has seen fit to write an open letter to Thomas reau of Medicine and Surgery in the navy department. He alleges that that the principal petitioners for tlie reappointment of Dr. Wales, under whose authority the defaulter Carrigan was, were Democrats. This proves nothing, except that Mr. Chandler's subordinates are selected by an atrocious system which he neither does nor can condemn and neither would nor could reform. wnen ivir. unanuicr admits mat ne had suspicions of corruption a year ago he gives away his whole case, as he might then have investigated the delinquency, removed and punished the guilty person and saved some of the public money. The letter is not in Chandler's usual vigorous vein, but it Mr. Hendricks should get worked up, as he has a way of doing once in a while, the secretary of the navy might be reminded that the buzz saw is still a dangerous thing in politics, News & Observer. A Foiled Diplomat. "George, dear," she said to the entered Brooklyn Eu man, as she the parlor with her bonnet on guess we'd better take a wal ; papa is expecting company to-night." "Very well," added her lover, ap- prehensively, recalling the expensive consequences of previous walks. Be- fore u ,m(1 )af a hi)ckf how ... , , ., ever, an idea struck him, and he said: "I was reading such an interesting article in the paper this morning." "Yes; what was it about?" "About the danger of eating ice cream. Your can't imagine how many people have died from it, Liz zie. In eight cases out of ten it is rank poison." "Oh, my, how glad I am you told me, dear," exclaimed the innocent girl, with a Chicago twinkle in, her eye ; "you buy a couple of quarts of it and I'll taite it home to k rats." Zeb Vance wants to get home. He is reported by Mr. Randall, corres pondent of the Augusta, Ga., Chroni cle and Constitutionalist, as saying "I long for adjournment. I want to en fishin?.

I want to wake up in the morning and see the pine trees, and 1 waut to smell them when I go to bed, as their perfume floats into the win dow and makes me dream that I was a child again. Yea, verily, I want to go out into our old fields once more and see a nigger plowing a one-eyed mule, with a coffee-sack for a plow- line.
