Who can tell the value of asn ile? The bartender.' “Ah,” said a deaf man wto had a scolding wife, * ‘man wants but little hear, below.’ Why are good residntiens like a squalling bady at church? Because they should always be carried out. “Why, Willie, you can’t possibly eat another plate of 'pudding.”— “Yes I can; one more plate will just fill this Bill.” “That beats the Dutch,” as the Teutonic hotel-keeper said when one of his guests left him between two days, forgetting to pay his tin. Medical man—And then, with regard to the swelling at the back of your head, I don't apprehend anything serious, but you must keep your eye on it. Strange that nobody ever thought of trying the effect of a barbers breath on the potato bug. It’s a pretty herd remedy, but some thing must be done. “Now, tell me candidly, arc you guilty!” asked a lawyer of his client fn. the county jail. “Why, do you suppose I'd be fool enough to hire you if I was innocent. Johnny says his mother makes a great cry if his little sister goes without her shade hat. She don t want her to get freckled, but she doesn’t seem to care a bit how much father tans him. A man told his friend that he had the aiAuy. ‘What regiment?’ friend asked. ‘Oh, I don t that; I mean the army of the ‘Ah, what church?’ ‘The ‘Why,’was the reply, ‘that’s not the army ; it's the navy.' He was a Dew man in the big store, she was a delicate blonde. She entered, and ap¬ 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¬ ing the militia of the United States is another step in the direction centralization. The power confer¬ red upon the President to call it in¬ to service, without reference to the State ru'.hori'ies, in the event of not only invasion and insurrection hut of an apprehension of them, is a dan ¬ gerous one, and might be easily abused. Coup ressshoulu move cau¬ tiously in dealing with a measure so important, and whielt implies so radical a departure from the exist ing system. 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. $500 REWARD For every grain of impurity or adulteration found in Dixie Baking Powder.
