TESTING A MAP 
A DOZEN or more idlers around the Central 
Market were recently taking a deep interest in a 
war map published in a New York daily paper, 
when Brother Gardner, the old colored man 
pushed his way into the throng and closely 
studied the map for a minute or two. 
“ VVlmr 'bouts on dis map is ole Virginny?” 
he suddenly called out. 
‘ 4 11 isn't, on there at all," answered one of the 
crowd. 
“ Wliar ’bouts on dis map is Richmond ?" 
continued Gardner, running his lingers over the 
paper in a wild way. 
“Jlow do you expect to find Richmond on 
this map of Europe ?" asked a bystander, 
“Dow do 1 ’spect? Why, sah, what lias de 
map of Rtiropo to do wid Richmond ? Wasn’t 
der more tightin’ around Kichmond dan you 
could scarce up in all Europe in ten years? 
Have dViy gone an' ignored dat fact ? Have dey 
got out a map an’ left dat (own out in do cold ? 
Homebody find do town for me, an 1 I’ll show you 
do exact spot whar I was hit in de chin by a can¬ 
non-hall and wounded all to pieces.” 
" Go away—this is a war map of Turkey and 
Russia.” 
“ Widout any Richmond on it?” 
“ No, sir; Richmond isn’t here.” 
“ Den I’m gwine right away—gwine to get 
right otlt’n dis crowd in a hurry. After all us 
folks fought and hied an’ died down dar, an’ left 
our bones to bleach in de sun, it’s a perfoek in¬ 
sult, sah, to come arouu’ hear wid a new wall 
map allowin' do Black Hea as big as a meetin’- 
houso, an’ leavin’ Richmond clar off de fair¬ 
grounds entirely ! Oomo away from that fraud, 
you cull’d folks !”—Detroit Free Press.

The Judges of the Centennial Exposition awarded 
“I su all not. discuss woman in the columns of 
my paper,” said George D. Prentice, “while 
considering the main points involved in the 
campaign, because, every one who is informed on 
tho subject of her creation knows that woman 
was a side issue." 
“ But I pass,” said a minister oue Sunday, in 
dismissing one theme of his subject to take up 
another. “Then I make it spades!” yelled a 
man from the gallery who was dreaming the 
happy hours away in an imaginary game of 
euchre. II is needless to Hay that he went on 
the next deal, being assisted by one of the dea¬ 
cons with a full baud of clubs.
