“Well, wo want ono [for our friends,”

.“Let our frlcmls conio to boo us, and

“But, George, everybody lias a piano,
nowadays—we don’t go anywhere without
seeing a piano,” persisted Esther.
“And yet 1 don’t kuow what wo want
ono for—for yon will have no tnno to piny
on one, and 1 don’t wnnt to hoar it.”
“Why tlioy nro so fashionable—I think
our room looks nearly naked without ono. ”
“I think it looks just right.”
“I think it looks very naked—wo want
a piano shockingly,” protested Esther,
emphatically.
Tho husband rocked violently.
“ Your lamp smokes, my dear,” said ho
after a long pnusc.
“Whcnareyougoingtogctoneofthonow

times how much wo ncod one,” snid Es
ther, pettishly, •
“These nro very pretty Inmns,” snid her
husbnnd. “Tho prettiest of the kind I
Over saw.”
“But, George, I do not think our room
is complete without n lump of the new
style,” Bnid Esther, sharply. “They are
so fashionable! Why, tho Morgans amt
many others I might mention, nll.JittVo
them;I am sure we ouuhtto.”
“We ought nut to take linttern by other
people’s expenses, and I don’tseu iinyrcn-

snid his Wife. “To complete this room,

we wnnt n pinno nml fnsliionnblc lamps.”
“Wo wnnt—tvo want!” muttered tho
husband; “there's no satisfying woman's

left tho room.

Tho Richest Silver Stine In tho World

A very rcspcctnblogentlcmnn, n physi
cian, who resides near this city, infumts
us that he 1ms discovered n silver mine of
unpiirnllclcd richness in Grnyson county,
in tills State. lie is tho possessor of tin
secret of discovering the presence of buried ,
nnd hidden metals, nnd while prospecting
nnd experimenting upon n tract of 4000
acres ofland which he owns in ttint coun
ty, ho discovered n deposit of nearly pure
stiver, lie says that no has taken out a
number of pieces of the ore, which, ujpon
dicing essayed, were found to contain n
larger per cent, ofsilvor than any ore hith
erto discovered. The mines arc almost in
exhaustible. White plno is n Mere pocket
compared with this mine. The National
debt could bo paid from the product of the
mine, nnd scarcely bo missed. The gen
tleman is very coufldent that he tins got a
big thing! and as soon ns the roads get
good in tlie spring ho will commence tho
work of developing the mine in earnest.—

“Tlicro is notliing in tho Constitution of
tho United State* to forbid our voting hut
n want of citizenship. If we nro not citi
zens, wlmt nro we? If wo nro, tlio right
to vote is not to bo denied us by the United
