I\(r.jJoblink Suddenly Interrupts a Very In-
T $ teresting Conversation.
The first prize in mathematics in Thomp
ftm University was carried oir this year fcy
Miss I). Angelina Smith, a girl of eighteen.
Mr. Joblink. stretched in an easy chair be
fore the fire with a handkerchief thrown over
his bald head, read this interesting fact aloud
from the paper last night, but shortly repent
ed himself for having done so, as it set Mrs.
Joblink talking. That good lady was en
gaged in darning Joblink’s stockings, and
addressed her conversation to her bosom
friend, Mrs. Meczles.
“ Yes, I don’t doubt it. Folks is beginnin*
to see that girls can do jist as well as boys.
Folks here in Virginny tell me I should be
thankful that I ain't burnt out. and so 1 am ;
but when I think of what I might a-bin if I’d
kept single it makes me sad. Instid of bein’
Mrs. Sarah Ann Joblink. the mother of five,
an’ doin’ my own housework, I might jist as
well a-bin Miss S. Ann Midge, an’ carried off
prizes, too. I might a-bin a doctor or a law
yor'Or a book-writer, an’ had my name in the
papers.”
“ Deary me, so you might,” assented the
weak-eyed and admiring Mrs. Meczles.
“Now,” proceeded Mrs. J., casting a side
glance across the comfortable room at Job
link, who was rubbing his bald spot misera
bly. “Now, why mightn’t I a-bin a reformer
an’ held conventions an' things an’ showed
folks Ik>w they was goiu* astray an’ didn’t
know beans compared with me ! But,” sigh
ed the good lady, “ I got married an’ am the
mother o’ five.”
“So you did, dear,” said the sympathetic
Mrs. Meezles.
“Who knows now, that I mightn’t a-bin an
artist or a juryman, or
“flood Lord, my dear!” cried Joblink,
suddenly, throwing his spectacles off his nose
to his forehead and holding the paper far
away from him as possible, as if that would
enable him to read the better. “Good Lord !
my dear, the poor old lady is dead !”
“What poor old lady, Joblink ?” snapped
the testy wife.
“Mrs. Kinkyeurls, you know—your old
mistress. 1 lour, dear, and she’s dead ! Well,
well, we must all go in our turn. She was a
good mistress to you, Sarah. Dead, eh?—
Well, well, I—”
With three strides Mrs. Joblink snatched
the paper from her astonished husband’s
hands, and still more surprised the kindly
gentleman with a whack on tin* car. But the
murder was out. and Mrs. Meezles enjoys the
knowledge that her friend. Mrs. Joblink. was
no more than a servant girl before that poor
dear man, Jo,blink, married her—with all her
airs.— Virginia Chronicle.
Improved Longevity—What it Weans.
( >ue of the in fin hers of the British Associa
tion for the advancement of science sketched
with a good deal of ingenuity and eloquence
anew health city, which would reflnce the
number of deaths, which are now from twenty
to thirty in a thousand, to eight, and finally
to five, or less, in a thousand. A mathema
tician, F. DeChamnout, has taken the trouble
to calculate the increased longevity which
this diminished death rate, indicates. A death
rate of eight in a thousand would increase
the expectation of life at birth to eighty-six
years, or more than double what it is now,
the mean duration to 120 years, while old
people would live to be 1 GO. At five in a
thousand the expectation at birth wou’d be
127 years, while old people would live to lie
250 years. At four in a thousand the expec
tation Afould be 277, and old people would
live to be 330 and upward. If the population
increased proportionally, the population of
Knglaml and Ireland would be 36,000,000 in
1000, and 1,200,000.000 in the year 2000,
lich would be equal to the present popula
tion of the earth. The British Isles would
consist of one continuous gigantic tenement
house, ten stories high, and even then the
tenants would be crowded for room.
Singer’s Wives.
The contest between the many wives of I.
M. Singer, inventor of the sewing machine of
that name, still goes on in the Surrogate
Court of New York city.
This great inventor and distinguished roue
married in Europe and America not lees than
four wives, and by the majority of them he
had children. During his life-time they were
all well cared for out of his munificent for
tune. but now, since he has been stricken
down in his lust and sensuality, a bitter legal
battle is being fought over his property.
ft occurs to ns that the determination by
the courts as to- who is the legal wife is a
question easy of Solution, since, across the
water, as well as here, the first woman mar
ried and imdivoreed, is in law the legal con
sort; Brigham. Voting, we believe, being the
only authority to the contrary.— Dalha i
Herald.
He Though! il Was the Other Man.
An insurance agent called into an estab
lishment on Main street, the other day, with
a large account book nnder bis arm, ami
walking up to the proprietor in a business
sort of way he inquired : “How’s business—
hows stock?” “Oh. business is very, very
dull,” returned the tradesman. “I*on my
word, sir, l haven’t got SOOO in the house!
Terrible dull 1” And he paused and looked
inquiringly at his vistor. “Only $000?” said
the insurance man in surprise. “’Pon my
souTT repeated the dealer, “I don’t be
lieve there'a dollar more—look for yourself.”
and the man looked sad and sighed. “ Then,
sir, ’ said the insurance man, with a good
deal of warmth, “how does it come that your
stock is insured in our company for $4,500?
Eli?" “Oh! all! Peg your pardon!” ex
claimed the dealer, in great confusion. “My
God, you was the tax man ! Great
th*d. sir. 1 was sure you was the tax-gatherre,
or'pon my soul 1 wouldn’t a said that, when
in fact my stock is worth fully SB,OO0 —look
for yourself, sir!”
Dr. was called upon one day to visit.
a young man not far from this city who had
been in a “plug muss,” and from all indica

An inquisitive individual had
learned that there was something wrong about
the young man’s optic, and stopping the Doc
tor on his return, inquired what the matter
was. Tire learned man informed him that
he “found the patient suffering from a severe
contusion of tlie integuments under the left
optic, with a great extravasation of blood and
ecchymosis in the surrounding cellular tissue
which was in a tumefied state. There was a
considerable abrasion of the enticle.” The
fellow scratched his head, looked puzzled,
and after slightly recovering, said : “ Ya-a-s,
Doctor, I understand all that; but what is
the matter with his ej*e ?”

Practical Illustration of Woodhullism.
The Brown will case, decided last week by
Surrogate Hutchings in New York, will as
sume individual distinction for the singular
legal countenance it affords to Woodhulisin,
pure and simple. Brown, a wealthy contrac
tor for large jobs, separated from his wife
twenty-two years ago, giving her ten thou
sand dollars and a considerable amount of
property, and thereafter lived with another
woman, to whom he was of course, never
married. She bore him his only son, and he
was faithful and happy with her. lie made
his will in her favor and their son’s, At his
death his discarded, but legal wife—who had
from the first been cognizant of and apparent
ly contented with the arrangement—disputed
the will. The Surrogate, after a thorough
survey of the case, admitted the will to pro
bate, while conceding to the first wife her
right of dowry in such real estate as Brow n
died possessed of. The dccisiou \*as based
on the grounds that the woman who lwul sup
planted her in her husband’s favor, was, so
far as his affection was concerned, his true
wife; that he felt to her and their son the
abiding affection of a husband and father :
that he never recognized that his discarded
wife had any claim upon him. nor did any
thing for her after their separation, save as a
gratuity. And if he had not made the moth
er of his only son and that son Ills heirs,
then the presumption of mental impairment
would have l>een almost conclusive. Surro
gate Hutchings and Mrs. Wood hull would
agree precisely that it is affinity and affection
that constitutes the true marriage bond, and
not any legal formula.— Ex.
The Li* bility of Seedsmen.
A singular lawsuit, which has occupied the
attention of the courts of New Jersey for the
last six years, was recently decided by the
Court of Errors and Appeals. The case was
first brought before a justice of the peace by
a farmer, who claimed pecuniary damages
from a firm of seedsmen who had sold him
tw< nty-five cents’ worth of “ early turnip
seed,” which had turned out to be the seed
of a late variety. Plaintiff alleged that the
false statement in regard to the seed caused
him to lose a valuable crop; and notwith
standing the seedsmen who were defendants
showed that no fraud was intended, judg
ment for was given for the plaintiff. Ap
peals were made, but the Court of Common
Fleas, the Supreme Court, and the Court of
Errors and Appeals, successively sustained
the decision of the lower court.
This decision (says the N. Y. Observer,) has
now very high authority, and it will operate
beneficially in leading to the exercise of more
care in the selection of seed by those who
keep them for sale. The class of dealers who
specially needed the caution will not be much
benefited by it, viz.: those peripatetic and
irresponsible dealers, who have no concern
but to obtain the money for what they have
to sell, and who cannot be found or reached
by a legal process to procure redress. But
if ever}' man who fails to get a crop from his
planting can recover from the seedsman dam
ages to Lite full amount of his failure, few will
be willing to engage in the business of sell
ing seed.
Fourth of March, 1877.
The fourth of March, 1877, when the next
President should be inaugurated, will come
on Sunday, and the United States will, doubt
less, be without a President for a day. Pre
sident Grant’s term ends on the fourth of
March, for the act of Congress provides that
the Presidential term “shall in all cases com
mence on the fourth day of March,” and the
constitution provides that the President
“ shall hold his office during the term of four
years.” In 1849, the fourth of March came
on Sunday, and President Taylor was inau
gurated on Monday, the sth. In 1877. the
new President will of course, be inaugurated
on Monday, the sth, but in case of war, or
any supreme necessity calling for Presiden
tial action, the President elect could be qual
fiedon Sunday by the Chief Justice, and be
formalty inaugurated the succeeding day.

Dick Wilson was as quite remark
able for quaintness as for laziness. As he
had a passion for wandering about the hills
and forests, and liked to boast that he knew
all about roots and herbs, he was frequently
employed, in primitive days, to bring to the
frugal housewives the sasafras, green, etc, etc.,
for their root beer. On one occasion Dr. H
called on Dick and handing him a lar<*e
basket, desired him to go to a certain spot,
about two miles distant, and bring him a
quantity of snails, adding: “Be as quick
as you can, Dick, for I am in a hurry.”
Muttering that “the doctor is always in a
hurry,” Diek set off on his expedition ; and
the doctor, after his round of visits, seated
himself in his office to rest, and to wait for
Dick.
In the deepening twilight of the long June
day Dick appeared, and after carefully set
ting down his basket, seated himself with
an air of utter weariness on the threshold of
the door.
“M ell Dick,” said the doctor, “have you
got the snails ?” “ Look in the basket, Doc
tor. I he doctor looked, and to his vexation
saw only two or three miserable “specimens”
on the bottom of the basket, and exclaimed
irefully:
“ Why Dick, what docs this mean ?” iron
ically adding, “were there no snails there ?”
“ Oh yes, plenty on’em there Doctor, but it
