n SELECT MISCELLANY. 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 tions was going to have a black eye as a con- 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 ?” What requires more philosophy than taking tilings as they come ? Parting with things as they go. & 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. President Johnson was qualified in his room at the Kirkwood house, in the presence of onl} T two or three persons. IdiPLast week, George Scott Jeffrey, a tel egraph operator at Wa}'nesburg, Green co., Penn., and Lydia Cutler, telegraph operator at Brownsville, were united in marriage by telegraph, the ceremony beginning at 2 r. m.

All other business was suspend ed in the two offices during the ceremohy. Similar marriages have taken place On pre vious occasions.

The following is said to be a never-failing cure for ear-ache: Take a bit of cotton bat ting, put upon it a pinch of black pepper, gather it up and tie it, dip it in sweet oil, and insert it into the ear.

Too Common. —She was such a nice look ing old lady, that when she wished all the people in the car a happy New Year each one returned the wish. “It’s good ’miff for}oung folks—New Year's is,” said the old lady, “but I don’t care much about it. And I don’t think any one appreciates the day as they used to thirty or forty years ago, when New Year's didn't come but once in three or four years.” —Detroit Free Press. 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 was such hard work to run ’em down V* “ Will this pipe smoke free ?” asked a gen tleman who was purchasing a pipe. “Of course it will if yon can get your tobacco for nothing,” was the reply. feijnl' JUucriißcmcnk QEORGU- Jackson County.
