“Ah,” said a deaf man wto had
a scolding wife, * ‘man wants but

Why are good residntiens like a
squalling bady at church? Because
they should always be carried out.
“Why, Willie, you can’t possibly

“Yes I can; one more plate will just

“That beats the Dutch,” as the

Strange that nobody ever thought
of trying the effect of a barbers

pretty herd remedy, but some

“Now, tell me candidly, arc you

Johnny says his mother makes a

A man told his friend that he had

He was a Dew man in the big

the young man, timidly
asked, “Have you ‘Rocked in the
Cradle of the Deep?” He answered
with a slight blush and some hesi¬
tation, gazing far away toward the
horizon, “Well—I really couldn't
Bay— I must have been very- young
at the time, if I did."
Jones is not without honor in his
own household. He goes home
and tells of what “we” did at the
meeting, while Mrs. J. and the lit¬
tle J’s look on in unconcealed ad¬
miration. And what did Jones do
at the meeting? Why, just this:
In a half-audible gasp, ho seconded
the motion to adjourn. But he
was prouder of that gasp, and it
cost him more effort, than gabbiest
of them all.
Thcre-is reason to iear (bat the
bill reported on Wednesday by Re¬
presentative Scales for reorganiz¬

is another step in the direction

radical a departure from the exist

White and Yellow Coen. —“An
Old Subscriber” wants to know “the
difference, if any, in nutriment be¬
tween white and yellow corn for
man or beast.” There is no spec¬
ific difference, so far as color is
concerned. Yellow corn is better
food for stock because the grain is
less flinty and easier to masticate,
and consequently to digest. It is
often noticed in the spring that
horses will leave white corn, while
taking yellow ccrn freely. Yellow
corn is richer, perhaps, in tlie es¬
sential oils, such as fusil oil, etc.
The idea, however, that yellow
com meal is more nutritious than
white proceeds from the fact that
yellow com is usually grown on
richer and more southern soils;
white com more exclusively at the
North. Northern corn is flinty
and has a larger proportion of tho
cardon making products, starch,
etc. Southern corn is richer in the
nitrogen -yielding products. Hence
the difference is primarily in soil
and climate, and not in color. At
the North yellow can meal is pre¬
ferred, because yellow corn is rais¬
ed at the South, but here in Mar
yland, wero we grind our own corn,
we prefer bread of white ecru meal
because, while it is equally nutri¬
tious, it is esteemed more palatable,
being less “rank" in taste. If
ground alike, yellow meal is proba¬
bly as digestible as white, but, yel¬
low ccrn peing softer, it makes a
finer meal with the same set. of
burrs than white corn, and, comsc
qnen* heavier bread in
'J ho Atlanta Constitution has this
to say about Sam Hoylo:
The committee investigating the
books of the late county tax collec¬
tor made their report to the grand
jury, and yesterday the grand jury
stated in its general presentments
that Mr. Hoyle was duo the county
$16,124. The amount was much
larger than was generally supposed,
and the heaviest deficits were only
recently discovered. Tho deficit in
state tuxes is about $25,000 making
the total defalcation about $41,000.
Nothing further has been heard
from the officers in California. It
is supposed that they are still urg¬
ing their claims before the courts.
The $300 additional sent them
Thursday makes about $1,500 the
expedition has cost the State and
county so far. The county has
not paid more than §600 of this
sum.
Upon the same subject a dispatch
to the Albany Advertiser, of the
10th says: The grand jury of Ful¬
ton county made its general pre¬
sentments last night, and say that
the grand jury in session last Oc¬
tober notified the Ordinary and
Govornor Colquitt that Hoyle’s
State and county bonds were both
insufficient, and they regret to say
that neither took any action in the
matter. They recommend that the
Solicitor General institute proceed¬
ings against the Ordinary to recov¬
er the amount due on Hoyle’s coun¬
ty bond. They also recommend
that the Legislature pass an act
requiring Ordinaries to give bond:
also that clerks of the Superior
Courts be required to enter the
presentment of grand juries on the
minutes of the Court.
The funeral of Mrs. Ducan N.
Hennt n, grandmother of the Hood
orphans, took place from tho Gener¬
al’s late New Orleans residence on
Tuesday last, and the Times says
of the melancholy occasion which
now leaves the grandchildren more
than ever orphans:
“The reverend father who read
the funeral service was completely
overcome, and more than once dur
ing the office had to stop complete¬
ly. His remarks over the uncovered
coffin were brief and heartfelt.—
Three of the little black robed or¬
phans were tho chief mourners, and
when tho sweet, patient face, lighted
with ‘the peace that passed) all un¬
derstanding,’ was finally hidden
away under the coffin lid, thtir pit¬
eous cries moved tho whole sad as¬
semblage to tears.”
From a private letter, w-e learn
that Prof. Hunter of Macon is
incubating hen eggs by a new pro¬
cess. It is dona by a kerosene
lamp, on the steam principle. The
writer says- “lie fixed up some kind
of a contraption, put the eggs and a
tlicinnmeter in it, and a lump on the
outside, and sure enough in due
time out came the chicks. The beau¬
ty of it is, you can hatch a hundred
or three-hundred, as tasy as you
can one.” A young lady acts the
part of mother to the chicks, and
they mind hei well when only two
days old.—Union and Recorder.
