SCISSORS. —“Sweet are the uses of advertise, ments.” So Mrs. Partington says. —Five hundred and eighty persons are stopping at the Dry Tortugas. —ln Berkley county, Va., good land is selling at SSO per acre. —Gen. Slocum is visiting Gen, Sher man in St. Louis. —A great religious revival is progress ing at Fiant Royal, Warren county. —A “biological flexicostationist” is giving entertainments in Norfolk. • —Beet is falling in Canada because it cannot be sent into the United States. —ln a late affray on a schooner at Darien, one of the men was shot bv the mate. The latter has been arrested. —Anglers use cotton to catch a certain kind of fish. That's the way of some of the young women angle for their prey. —What is it we all frequently say we we will do, and no one has yet ever done ? Stop a minute. t —Men frequently pay more attention to re-forming their habits than to reform ing them —What was the first woman created for? Adam’s Express Company. Do you see the “pint?” —To destroy rats —catch them one by one, and flatten their heads with a lemon squeezer. —“There is no parting there,” as the bald headed man sang while he viewed his pate in the mirror. —The most unpopular article of fur niture in the Washington market at present is the “Freedmen’s Bureau.” —“What’s whiskey bringing?” asked a dealer. “Bringing men to the gallows and woman and.children to want,” was the reply. —A Calcutta paper announces the arrival at that port of a ship from Eng land, with nineteen lady passengers and uo quarrel during the passage. A cotemporary says : “ Judging from tWwimnber ol marriage notices thill we see in our exchanges, cradles will be in demand— arter a while. —To kill cockroaches —get a pair of heavy boots, then catch your roaches, put them into a barrel, and then get in yourself and dance. —ls any of our benevolent citizens have a spare auger hole or a crack in a garret-wall not occupied by rodent ani mals, they will be performing an act of real humanity by giving the use of it to the “Occasional” editor of the Press.— Louisville Journal. —An Arabian having brought a blush j to a maiden’s cheek by the earnestness j of his gaze, said to her, “My looks have j planted roses on your cheeks; who forbids me to gather? The law permits him who sows to reap the harvest.” —ln Sacremento, recently, a woman procured the release of herbusband from jail, and that night ran off with another fellow. Her object in procuring her husband's release was to leave some one with her children. —Ah, Sam, so you’ve been in trouble, have you ?” “Yes, Jim, yes.” “Well well, cheer up, man : adversity tries us and shows up our better qualities.” “Ah, but adversity didn’t try me; it was an old vagabond of a judge, and he showed up my worse qualities. —At the late imperial Carnival ball, at Paris, Her Jilajesty, the Empress, was dressed as Marie Antoinette, and looked as charming as ever. More than two thirds of the guests wore the costume of the time of Louis the XVI. Thq Em peror was particularly gracious to the Ambassadors from the leading powers, and he never lost an opportunity of say ing something amiable to the ladies. The lively and witty Princess Metternich was in the costume of Madame de Pom padour, and had more than $4,000,000 worth of diamonds scattered about her dress and coiffure. The Candle Fish. — The California Express says : “This is one of the most curious members of the finny tribe. It is caught on the coast of British Colum bia, where it is extremely common and proves very useful to the natives. Some idea may be gleaned from the fact that the natives use it as a lamp, the light given being very considerable. The fish, when dried, has a piece of rush pith, or a strip from the inner bark of the cypress tree, drfiwn through it, a long needle made of hard wood being used for the purpose; it is then lighted and burns steadily till consumed. Any one can read comfortably by its light.'’ Young America Wonders. —Won- der why mania keeps Bridget at home from church to work all day, and then says it is wicked for me to build my rabbit house on Sunday? Wonder why our minister bought that pretty cane with the yellow lion’s head on the top, and then asked me for my cent to put in the missionary box ? Don’t I want a jewsharp just as well as he wanted a cane ? Wonder what makes papa tell such nice stories to visitors, about his hiding the master's rattan when he went to school, and about his running away from the schtiol-mistress when she was going to whip him, and then shut me up in a dark room all day because I tried just once to be as smart as he jyas. Wonder wliat made papa say that wicked word when Betsy upset the ink all over his papers, and then slapped mv ears because I said the same thing when my kite-string broke ? Wonder why mama told Bridget the other day to say that she was not at. home when Tommy Day’s mother called, and then puts me to bed without my supper every time I tell a lie ? Oh. dear 1 there are lots of things I want to know. I wish I was a man 1 AUGUSTA 10 L ADRY AND . Mfichine Works, AUGUSTA.
