A passenger going Wost from Detroit by rail the other day had a pass to Chicago. When the con- ductor took it up ho asked several questions to satisfy bimself that the pass had not been transferred, and the holder of the pasteboard didn't tak it 'as good-naturcdiy as" some men would. He didn't have muth to say, but he wus determined on revenge. Assoon as tho conductor left the car the man changed soats, removed his linen duster, took off his hat and looked like a different person altogether. After the train left tho station the conductor came along with an eye out for new pass- ers, and presently reached out for the holder of the pass: «1 haven't got any ticket," was the surly answer. "Then you must pay yon fare." "I won't do it!" "Seo here," said the conductor as hob egan to wake up, "You must either pay you fare or producoa road!" «Drop and be hanged I" The train was nop stopped, but after a run of ten mnutes it reach- ed a station and arrangements wero made for bouncing the man. When all was complete he showed his pass. "Why didn't you tell me yon had a pass?" "Why didn't you ask ?"' me shout- ed the traveler . . "Well, I don't like such fooling." "Nor I, either." The train went on, and the man put on his duster, traded hats with somo one else. Ie changed his seat seemingly sound asleep when the conductor again had occasion to pass through, Ie took two fares traveler, There was no response.-- He shock the sleoper gently but the latter, slept on, - Then be shook him good and stout and called "ticket" in his ear. # How dare youshake me around in this manner!" shouted the man, as he awoke and stood up: "Ticket, please." « But I don't please! Iow dare you come to me every time the train leaves the station?" The conductor looked down the aisle, thought he saw the man with the pass in his old seat, and said to the other. "Come, sir;don't bother me. I want your ticket 1" © «You can't have have it!" «Then I'll put you off!" ' Tle reached for the bell-rope, bat seeing a general grin all round the car he stopped and looked more glosely at the man 'and recognized him 4s the man with the pass.

The Romans largely advertised private as well as public matter, and by writing as well as by word of mouth. They had their public criers who not only had their public duties but arinounted time place, and con- dition of sale, and cried things lost. Hawkers cried their own goods.-- Thus Cicero speaks of ore who cried figs. Butthe Romans also advertis- ed in a stricter sense of the term, by writing, The bills were called libelli, and were used for advertising sales of estates, for absconded debtors,and for things lost or found. The adver- tisements were often written on tablets, which were affixed to pillers. on the 'walle of tho buried" city of Pompeii have been discovertd vari- ous advertisements--*"There will be dedication or formal opening of certain baths, The company attend- ing are promised slaughter of wild beasts, athlotic games, perfumed sprinkling and awnings to keop off the sun." One other mode of public announcement employed by the Romans should bo mentioned, and that was by signs suspended or painted on the wall. for instance a suspended shield served as a sign for atavern ; and nuisances were prohi- bited by a painting of two sacred ser- pents. Advertisements in news- papers, as now published, were not general in England until tho com- mencoment of "the eighteenth cen- tury. ' The Arab "who invented alcohol died nine hundred years ago but his spiritstill lives, The report that the baby elephant was born with a valise instead of a trunk is incorrect. The rain falls on the just and the unjust but not on the man who has just stolen an umbrella, A Boston drtist painted an orange peel on the sidewalk so natitrally that six fat men slipped down on it. If telephones are used for spread- ing sermons,the man who passes the contribution box will need a horse and carriage. Rewarp of Merrr--The "next" pupil who spelled chimney correctly was told by the teacher to go up one --but he didn't want to- "Now that is what call bus- iness," remarked a Brooklyn under: taker, as an unfortunate gentleman stepped into his store and died. « Mamma." said Henry Thomas, a bright little fellow over in Algiers: "Mamma, have my toes got eyes?" "No, my darling ; why do you ask such a foolish question ?"" "Because my foot's asleep." A little girl in one of our public schools the other day had occasion to parse the word "angel." Coming to the gender she stopped dismayed and asked her toacher if "there are any meh angels." Everything in nature indulges in amusement. The lightning plays, and the wind whistles; the thunder tolls, the snow flies, the wayes leap and the fields smile. Tven the buds shoot and rivers.and streams rari, A school-teacher, who had just been telling the story of David, end- ed witht "And all this happened over throe thousand years ago" A little cherub, its blue eyes opening wide with wonder, said; after a mo- ments thought; "Oh, dear, marm, what a memory you have got."

He went to the office of the company to complain. « What 1" cried the office clerk, " you want to make a row about so small a matter ?

Tho dealer lot her have the teapot, but took in his sigh before another customer cottid come in. 3 li A young lady who is studying Fronch lately wrote to her parents that she was invited to a dejeuner the day before, and was going to a fete champetre the next day. The professor of the college Was surpris- od to receive a dispatch from ihe «old man," a day or two after say- ing, " If you don't keep my daughter from those blasted menageries and side-shows, I will come down and see what ails her."
