What it did with yostoiday's spray She "Wantem Hku Li:m-;u. —-It the postoffic-e in Wilmington, N.C., a few days afro, cl it rin" t Inc S-Gtribution of the mail, and before the distribution of the mail, and before the general delivery was op- tied, a colored woman vociferously called upon the postmas ter to hunt her up a little “anyhow.” “Mr. pos’master I want you to hurry up and give iu<* my letter, 1 aint. time to be foolin’ round here. said she. No attention, was paid her, except by the crowd outside, who laughed and cheered her, while the clerks within kept oijj'tiaily gL Presently her attention was attracted to several persons walking up with keys, opening some of the boxes and taking out mail matter. This set her off again. “Look here, I want my letters; lu re’s dcse rich people kin come an open deni little windows, git der letters, an yon won’t give me mine." “You'll have to wait until the general delivery is'open,” said one of the by-slanders. “Well, dat’s what I call injustice,' said the woman, “to let some folks have dor letters an’ den make some wait; au’ sprain I ain’t gut any alter all?—sity tiow-—jes look over deni let ters an’ see if I ain't got one." iiff" A curious Frenchman has been I making a calculation, which is, that a ; man talks bn an average three hours a day bt the rate of about twenty-nine octavo pages an hour. This would make eighty-fee ven pages a day, about six hundred a week, which would amount to fifty-two good sized vol umes every year! And then, multi plying this by the number of years in a man’s life, what a library he should have if it should all bo printed ! And, too, how very little of the whole would bo worth preserving, and of how much he would be so-glad if it been left un said. True as Holy Writ. — Here is the truth in rt rmtshell. The 'Rochester Union says: The Northern half of the Union, with every element of wealth and prosperity— with its shops turning out the results of mechanical skill, and* the fields- blossoming with abundant harvegts—is in a state of stagnation because of the condition of the South, for it is as much against reason to expect that one half of the country can be in a sickly condition, approaching death, and the other half in a healthy condition, with vigorous lifefas to expect that one side of one’s body can .boa mass ohputrifafction and the other side a type of perfec tion , , - c<iW*oiuj)dr'rtry -fenvft: A news paper and a newspaper editor that people donfc talk about and some times abuse are rather poor concerns. The JiV&rfcAd Inte'ih'Sss that au edttor sometimes feels it a duty to defend at a rfob of 1 mulling enemies of another class, are ofton the very first to show ingrafitmlb'. He who expects to re ceive much charity or gratitude will soon find out his mishUcfe; but be should go ahead and say and do what he conscientiously thinks is right. jßgrSuuday night, a Detroit police man, passiug a certain house about ten o’clock, saw a f TW;ln drop from a winduy; apd heard smothered cries inside. Ido seized the man for a bur glar, but soon found that he had the the house in his clutches. ‘‘AYedi;; said the officer, “it lo<>lo sus pifciMsAoi'ee 3 cm drop out of a win dow that way.” “Well,” replied the man, heaving a sigh, “when the old ■woman gets her dander up, 1 aiu t particular about road i take to get oat of the house." +V • ' feSrA strange man who wanted to gif 6\} ■flio tttuft; but-missed ft, winked Jpjnd down ttie depot in a high stiffs, of excitement?, beratinghimseU and everyone else. “I know just what my \ui|a wdU sayl” he exclaimed as he wal kedtvp and- down. ‘YY hen that train gits thar s and £lie won't see me she,ll git right up and jump over chairs and smash and swear I'm off on another drunk!” • • *j.. —•--- youisg mm has been .arrested in Mew York for sleepiug in a stand ing position flo would stand on tbe street for hours at a stretch, with his eyes closed, aud not move a muscle.
