P.'S > -V.;* -- Mr. Pompous had served his country ' '".""In the capacity 6f member of Par- ^ v;> • iiament for nearly twenty years with- tout making the least mark as a poli- ; tician. His name was only familiar to the general pubjic from its being occa- - tonally found in the division lists, and, '< «xcept to his own constituents, his ^ views were only vaguely known. It is true that he once enjoyed a meteor-like " flash of notoriety from having uttered ft realistic imitation of the bray of a jackass during an exciting debate, but the glory which he gained from this achievement was feat evanescent. In his own opinion, liowever, he was a ; -iwost important element k the British Constitution, and his shining forehead, his grave demeanor, his portly frame fend his consequential air were calcu­ lated to convey the same impression to * the occupants of the stranger's gallery. When the troubles in Ireland cul- ^ minated in political assassinations, Mr. •Pompous, M. P., began toieel a little 'apprehensive about his personal safety. "~Te was quite aware that he had done lothing to incur the odiiua of secret Organizations as regarded liis share in "the debates on Irtish affairs. But he ^conceived it to be extremely probable that a plot existed to cause a panic in the House by striking >dowm its most in­ fluential members, and he was of the •opinion that he came under this cate­ gory, His fear at length "began to prey "upon his mind it© such an-extent that he •applied to the police authorities to grant him special protection. At Scot- Hand Yard, however, his apprehensions were considered to be quite unfounded, and his request received so little atten- ijtion that iie felt he could not press it. : He was still unconvinced, however, and whenever he wetit<down to the House he always kept very much on the alert. One afternoon, while he was walking along Parliament *ftreet, a youaag man hurried past him in rather a marked . . fjmanner, and looked him in the face with a|a keen, scrutinizing gaze. Something "fpjdesperate and lawless in the fellow's ap­ ace at <once attracted Mr. Pom- >us' attention, and the incident caused a good deal of uneasiness. The ^young man dropped behind thirn, and, flancing over his shoulder as he reached alace yard, Mr. Pompons perceived that the stranger was dogging his foot­ steps. He immediately placed himself tinder the protection of the nearest po­ liceman, and the man who had followed him suddenly d sappeared in the crowd. Mr. Pompous was very much upset for the rest of the day, and instinctively felt that he had had a narrow escape. He therefore applied again for police protection, and this time it was at once - pranted. In fact, the authorities seemed to feel that they ought not to have dis­ regarded his previous warning, for they never permitted him to walk abroad again without quite a body guard of de­ tectives.^ Not only did one fol!ow.at his Wheels, but another walked on ahead, "while a third feept watch and ward from the outer side of the way. Even when ihe,drove out in his carriage a man fal­ lowed him in a hansom cab, and he was never permitted to venture -out alone. Mr. Pompous was a little startled by these precautions at first, 'bat he soon got used to them--in fact, he quite en­ joyed the sensation of being as closely attended as a crowned head, for it seemed to him to be a proper tribute to his importance. The only .drawback-- apart from the uncomfortable Seeling that he carried his life in his hand-- was that he was not permitted to turn the circumstance to aeooutit by talking openly of his bodyguard to his friends and acquaintances. He would have liked also to impress upon liis loonstitu- .ents the life of danger whieli he was living on*their behalf. Unfortunately, ^however, the police partieularlj *e- •quested and enjoined hku for his town «ake to, keep secret the fact titat he was , ̂ guarded by detectives. Inspector ' jiowle, who impressed this warning tupon him, hinted rather ominously tbat fuw personal safety lay SM mueli in his dentity being concealed from the gen­ eral public as in the precautions that , were taken to protect hitn. If it were "Jtnown that he went about accompanied J>y detectives, people would begin to ook out for nim in the streets nntil his face and figure wuld become fa- ' miliar to every passer-by. The disad- C:anta?e of such publicity to a person rhose life was menaced was perfectly ©bvious, and Mr. Pompous at once saw --tine force of the objection. He therefore, for his own sake, kept AS quiet as possible, though the neces­ sity for doing so vexed him very ni di. He had the satisfaction of knowiug, however, that the state of siege in which '• he lived was a fruitful subject of specu­ lation among his brother meml>era, who jiifeeted to be quite at a loss to under­ stand why these elaborate precautions ; ijphouid be taken to protect the member f , tor Muddington. Mr. Pompous main- * Gained a discreet reserve when ques­ tioned on the subject, but the real * truth was that he was himself quite at k loss to allege any specific reason. For his own part he needed none, feeling that the fact of his being Mr. Pompous, 3&. P., quite explained the situation. But, of course, he could not very well convey this to persons who, from envi- bus motives, were already inclined to deride him. He applied more than once for more detailed information to Inspector Bowie, to whose care he had apparently been confided by the author­ ities ; but the cfficer never gratified his natural curiosity. The inspector was a Very reserved little man, and evidently knew his business, so Mr. Pompous jlid not like to press him too much. |y: Mir. Foatpoosif he had not been oc®- teanplstiiig paying » visit to Ids oon- st&MBts. "Certainly. That is, if I can do so in comparative safety," wild the protected member, delighted at the prospect of appearing at Muddington with his "Well, sir, I think it might be man­ aged during the next few days," re­ turned Inspector Bowie, cautiously. "Of course, my men most go with you." "Oh! of course. I'm quite m your hands, Inspector," returned Mr. Pom­ pous. "Would it suit you to start, gay, to­ morrow evening, sir?" inquired the Inspector. "Yes. I suppose you will arrange about trains and so on," said Mr. Pom­ pons. "Yes, sir. I was thinking--what line do you usually travel by, sir?" "The South-W estern, from Water­ loo." "Well, sir, I think we l»a<i better say the Great Western, from Paddington, this time," returned the Inspector. "Quite so--yes; a very proper pre­ caution," said Mr. Pompous. "I sup­ pose," he added, hesitatingly, "there is no chance of the train being thrown off the line, eh ? Every precaution will be taken, of course?" "Yes, sir, you may rely upon that," replied the detective, dryly. *1 will see a bo tit the trains, sir, and let you know the hour." Mr. Pompous looked forward to his expedition with pleasurable anticipa­ tion. In a quiet place like Muddington there could be no real danger of assas­ sination, especially if he were accom­ panied by an escort. He was a little nervous about the journey, but this un­ pleasant aspect faded away when he thought of the sensation his arrival un­ der such circumstances would cause among his constituents. It would be impossible to conceal froiA them that he was under police surveillance, and, in fact, Mr. Pompous resolved to take his leading constituents into his confi­ dence at all hazards, for the sake of the moral effect. He rehearsed a speech which should contain covert, though telling, allusions to his being tyie object of an assassination plot, and confidently relied upon creating the greatest enthusiasm and excitement. His fears came uppermost, however, when he started on the journey, espe­ cially as Inspector Rowle was more mysterious than ever, and begged to be allowed to take his seat in the carriage with him. Mr. Pompous was not a lit­ tle startled at this request, which he readily complied with, as it seemed evi­ dent that some special danger was ap­ prehended. During the drive to the station, Mr. Bowie peered constantly out of the window in a very vigilant manner, and as they approached the neighborhood of Paddington he said suddenly to Mr. Pompous f "Will .Vou kindly oblige me by lean­ ing well forward now, sir ?" Mr. Pompous, being startled, me­ chanically did so, when it suddenly oc­ curred to him that his features must be distinctly visible, owing to a glare of which they were just passing. He therefore fell hastily back into the re­ cesses of the carriage, exclaiming: "Good gracious, man! Why, I shall be recognized!" "No, you won't, sir. Will you kindly lean forward again now, sir?" he added, with some excitement. "Certainly not. Why, it would be suicidal 1" cried Mr. Pompous, indig­ nantly. "For heaven's sake, air, do as I ask you:!" exclaimed the detective, with suppressed excitement. "Everything may be lost by your hiding yourself." "Are you anad?" roared Mr. Pom­ pous. "No, sir. Perhaps I ought to ex­ plain, " said Inspector Itowle, hurriedly. "The fact is you were never in the slightest danger yourself--at least you would not have been if your name had been known Tto certain parties. The truth is you have been mistaken for the Right Honorable Mr. Blank," he added, naming a prominent member of the Cabinet. 4 "Is--is that the reason I have been guarded?" inquired Mr. Pompous, taken aback. "Yes, sir. Wlien we found Out the mistake, we did our best to keep up the delusion, and I venture to think we've been tolerably successful," «aid the de­ tective, in a complacent tone. "Why did y«ou keep up the delusion?" demanded Mr. Pompous, with a sudden access of rage. "Well, sir, Mr. Blank meanwhile is pretty safe, and if an attempt should be made " "Do you mean to -say you've been treating me like an animated target all this while to be shot .at for somebody else?"roared Mr. Pompous, fiercely, as he realized the situation. "For heaven's sake, sir, don't desert us npw," cried Inspector Rowle, justly alarmed by Mr. PompoM* tone. "If you will help us we may have all«the parties in five minutes. Lean forward now, sir, and let yourself be seen!" "I shallaaot, sir," screamed Mr. Pom­ pous, foaming at the mouth. "Why on earth should I?" "The Honorable Mr. Blank is going down to Windsor, and I've received certain information that an attack will be made rapon him as he steps from his carriage at the station. We shall arrive there first ----" "And you expect me to s>et as a de­ coy-duck V** interrupted Mr. Pompous, violently. "I assure you, sir, there will be no danger," cried the detective, eagerly. "At the first shot the assassin will be seized. For goodness' sake, show your face at the window, sir, so that the seouts may signal your approach." Mr. Pompous' only answer was a kind of gurgle which seemed to presage an apoplectic fit, and then he suddenly made a dash at the check-string and shouted wildly to the coachman: "Hi! stop!" Turn immediately. and drive like the devil in the opposite direction, Drive to Hampstead, High- gate, Whiteeliapel, anywhere!" The order to stop was presently obeyed, and the coachman, urged by his master's cries, drove off at a furious pace down the nearest side-turning. Inspector Rowjg, being quite unable to prevail upon Mr. Pompous to counter­ mand his directions, opened the car- tfage door and jumped into the road­ way, at the risk of his life. Mr. Pom­ pous, in a sort of paroxysm of feverish agitation and frenzy, persistently urged the coachman to continue straight on, until at length one of the horses fell from sheer fatigue and exhaustion somewhere in the neighborhood of New Barnet. Here Mr. Pompous had to alight and pass the night, but the next morning he started at daybreak for the coast, and it was subsequently an­ nounced that he had paired for the re­ mainder of the session.

London Truth. The Forests ef Englaai. The woods of Great Britain when compared^ with our own are not rich in tree species, bat the Romans found the island largely covered with heavy forest I . growth. The chase hr.d few attractions | ̂ for the invaders, and the idea of estab­ lishing game preserves never entered their minds. Timber for their galleys they needed, and English oak supplied it. No doubt, too, large areas of wood­ land were cut over because they fur­ nished hiding places and rallying points from which bands o* Britons would at­ tack the Roman camps. In later times English monarchs swept away large tracts of wood for the shelter they gave bands of marauders. It was expressly enjoined upon the Duke of Medina Sidonia, when he landed, that he should not leave a tree standing in the forest of Dean. The accident which happened i ^"em"n"ie8\ .®^ to the Armada interfered with this pur- i pose, but the incident is suggestive as showing how woodlands suffer in times of violence. The Romans burned quan­ tities of wood in smelting iron, and this practice made havoc in the timber for centuries to tome. The browsing deer in the preserves and the domestic Many suffering from ~2! find their own feelings described in the following extract taken from Dr. Rev- ; nolds' paper, and we hope some will j derive benefits from his hints. The important relation of indigestion many diseases which people suffer is not sufficiently realised. Difficulty in breathing, occurring spontaneously or on slight exertion, may be caused indigestion. Indigestion causes alterations in the general nutrition of the body, which are manifested in various ways, among which are the following: Ansemia, Or a depraved state of the blood, involving a deficiency of the red globules of the blood, and causing persons thus affected by to be unnaturally pale, especially about of the teeth, greyness of animals of commoners and borderers, with rights of forest and woodland pasturage, can be counted as another destructive foroe. The vast droves of hogs which fed upon the oak and beech mast did little damage, for they prob­ ably were efficient planters of nuts and acorns. Some idea of the abundance of this forest pork is gained when it is known that the value of a woodland was often estimated by the number of swine it would support rather than by the feet of timber or cords of wood it would yield. There was a time when the hog was utilized as a unit of meas­ urement in estimating the size of single trees, for it is written in a doomsday book that he who felled a tree under the shadow of which thirty hogs could stand would be mulcted £3. An Old* Proclamation of a Fair. "Oh, yes! and that's ae time; Oh, yes! and that's twa times; Oft, yes! and that's third and last time.

So you've heard my proclamation, 'and I'll gang hame to my denner." - Historical Dispute. There is a historical dispute of long standing as to how the United States acquired its title to the territory in­ cluded in the present limits of the State of Oregon. Gen. Francis A. Walker, in the Statistical Atlas, published in connection with the census of 1870, marked it as a part of the Louisiana purchase made by Jefferson in 1806, but the accuracy of that statement has been questioned. The principal author­ ity for regarding Oregon as a part of the Louisiana purchase is the fact that it was so marked in a map prepared by Barl>e-Marboi8, the negotiator on the part of France. On the other hand, in his history of the treaty, he expressly states that the United States Government did not purchase the territory referred to, but acquired it by simple act of ap­ propriation. Crushing the Noisy Member. Sheridan onoe succeeded admirably in intrapping a ncisy member who was in the habit of interrupting every speaker with cries of "Hear! hear!" ichard Brinsley took occasion to al­ lude to a well-known political charac­ ter of the time, whom he repre­ sented as a person who wished to play the rogue, but bad only sense enough to play the fool. "Where," ex­ claimed Sheridan, in continuation and with great emphasis, "where shall we find a more foolish knave or a more knavish fool than this?" "Hear! hear!" was instantly bellowed from the accus­ tomed bench. The wicked wit bowed, thanked the gentleman for his ready reply to the question and sat down amid convulsions <of laughter from ail but their unfortunate subject. f Refining ** Distributed." A visitor to a Booklyn public Bchool asked a <elass of boys to define the word "distributed," which had occurred in their reading lesson. One said: "It's something you give away," and others similarly missed the mark. "Now," said the visitor, "if J should give one of you oyster soup, another some salmon, another some roast beef, another some salad, and another :some pie and straw­ berries, what would you say I had done with the dinner?" Several gave answers imperfectly, bat at length an overgrown boy, with A husky voice, raised his hand.

Con­ sumption has frequently been regarded as due in many cases to long-continued derangement of the digestion, whereby the general nutrition of the system has become impaired. The inflammation of the mucous membrane of the throat, known as "clergyman's sore throat," is a product of indigestion, and Ihe removal of the cause by the adoption of a suitable dietary, exercise in the open air and observance of the laws ofjiealth gener­ ally will be the best treatments of it. Indigestion ife the cause of various alterations in the skin, manifested by general coldness or chilliness, especially of the extremities by changes in ite color or texture, which may be earthy or Ballow in tint, or dry and coarse, and by various eruptions, among which are the well-known eczema, acne, impetigo and nettle i%&h. Most of the cases of skin diseases affecting children are best treated by attention to the diet, making the diet easily digestible and sufficiently limited to insure complete digestion. The causes of indigestion may be due to the food or condition of the stomach. The food may be defective in quality. There may be excess or deficiency of the normal ingredients, saccharine, starchy, albuminous or fatty, or some of the naturally indigestible materials which form a part of all food. The food may be introduced in an indigesti­ ble form on account of the defects in the cooking of it, or imperfect mastication, or from its having undergone putrefac­ tion or fermentation, which arrests the functions of the stomach. Imperfect mastication of food is a very common cause of indigestion among Americans. Eating too much is probably the most common of all causes of indi­ gestion. The secretion of the gastric juice in the stomach seems to be pro­ portioned to the amount of material re­ quired for the nourishment of the svsj tem. Food taken in excess of this amount acts as a foreign substance un­ dergoing fermentation and putrefac­ tion, and occasioning much disturlfuice in the system. Much may,be done for the cure of indigestion by eating very abstetmious- ly of suitable food, thoroughly masti­ cated, taking exercise in the open air, breathing pure air and observing the laws of health generally. The amount of food should be reduced until the quantity is reached which the stomach can digest without evincing any symp­ toms of indigestion. Elder was cramped with an ache, a |4t.

Eacfti head of clover contains abont sixty distinct flower tubes, each of which contains a portion of sugar not exceeding the five-hundredth part of a grain. The proboscis of the bee must therefore be inserted into 500 clover tubes before one grain of sugar can be obtained. There are 7,000 grains in a pound, and. as honey contains three- fourths of its weight of dry sugar, each pound of honey represents 2,500,000 clover tubes sacked by bees. A Worldly-Minded Woman. A fashionable Austin lady, who is in the habit of attending church very reg­ ularly in order to show off her finery, was unable to do so for several success­ ive Sundays on account of rain. She was very much disgusted, and when her pastor called to make his usual pastoral visit, and told her that heaven was one eternal Sabbath, she got as mad as a w4t hen, and said, angrily t "Then I don't care to go to no sich place when I die. I want to go to some place where it don't rain ail the time. I want to go to a place where you can show off your clothes."--Texas Siftitigs. Tit for Tat Old tTficle Mose was hired to ire- move a load of rubbish from the resi­ dence of Col. Percy Yerger, on Austin avenue. The old rascal piled on very little loads, he being paid by the load. "Look here, Uncle Mose," said Col. Yerger, "if you had put a decent-sized load on that car you could have carried it all off at one load." "I know it, boss; but my old boss am weak, and I has jined de"sciety for de perpetration of cruelty to animals, and it am agin my principle to put too heaby a load on my pore ole hoss." "All right, Mose. I am glad you have got such a good heart. Do you want a dram?" The aged African worked his lips con­ vulsively, and ejaculated: "Does I want a dram. Boss, I'se perishin' for a dram. Thank yer, boss; thank yer kindly for dat ar dram you am gwine ter gib me." "Not so fast. Uncle Mose. I merely asked you if you wanted a drink. I *would like to give you one, but I know you are like your old horse; you are rather weak, and have already got as big a load as you can carry.

A bridge of boats was the suggestion of one, the balloon was the proposal of another. Sinclair then burst in with the remark: "What do you think of a tunnel?" At this idea the four voyagers were highly amused and at once proceeded to discuss its practicability. The rtsult of the dis­ cussion was that, although the irksome- ness of the journey was relieved by Sinclair's idea and the criticisms which it provoked, the feasibility of construct­ ing so large a tunnel was negatived.
