What are old maids becoming the rage ? -—————«—A* ————— e The art of being able to make a good use of moderate ability wins esteem, and confers more reputation thao real merit, Prosperity is a great teacher, ad versity is a greater.

There is nothicg to show what disease killed Adam, but it was doubtless something like apple~ plexy. b Y | s — ‘ He raung the door bell of a bavker. The servants tells him *‘Mouosieur does tot receive to-day.” ‘‘That makes nothing to me. My racket is to know if he will give anything.’ ‘What did the doctor say, tell mef says the sick man nervously. ‘Ob, he didn’t say anything,” replies his friend encouragingly, ‘but there is no occaeion for any alarm—he seems quite easy and well satisfied.” ‘Yes, g 0 would I if I was in his place.’ e g A gentleman had bis boots black ed by one of two boys and gave the shiner a $2 bill to get changed. Af ter waiting some time he said to the other boy, ‘Where's your partner ?’ ‘Ob said the youth with a grin, he’s bust up, and I'm his assignee.’ In a suit for divorce, the counsel for the plaintiff draws & most unflat tering picture of the husband, whom he denounces as brutal, bad temper ed, violent, and 8o on. The counsel for the defendant then rises and depicts the plaintiff as cross, bitter of tongue, headstrong, and the like. : ‘Pardon me, gentlemen,’ says the court, blandly, ‘but where does the incompatibility of temper come in ¥ The simplest solution of the wild boy problem is to keep him at home after dark. In npearly every in stance the boy who drinks carries a pistol, gambles, poisons himself with cigarettes, reads bad literature, and indulges in other vices, is & boy who runs et large at night, choosing bis own company and amusements, If parents would grasp this view of the situation and do their duty in the premises, there would be very little for the law to do. A smart traveling man from Chi cago tried to paralyze a dining room girl at Fort Dodge, [owa, during the snow blackade. At dirnuer one day he ordered ‘“‘sponge soup” and ‘quail on fence’ The girl went to the kitchen and got a quail and built a fence on the plate of kindling wood. ‘Then she got a piece of sponge from ‘the bath room and pat it in the soup, ‘and served his order in the pres ‘ence of several other traveling men, who gave bim the grand laugh. The lacdlord charged him one dollar ex tra for serving articles oot on the bill of fare, and it cost bim six dol lars for cigars and drinks to keep the matter quiet, ety o o ‘ The secret of the Keely motor is ‘out at last. In a burst of coofidence Mr. Keely has given the whole thing away in the following terse lauguage : ‘‘Molecular disintegra~ tion 18 the primary genoerator of vibratory phencmena.

Gelloway county, Kentucky, has an original magistrate.. A man was recently brought before him charg« ed with stealing a hog, His honor had & very small personal opinion of the prisoner, and was seen to shake his bead ominously and frown por teatously during the proceedings. The prisoner succeeded in establish ing an alibi, and his attoroey told him to go about his basiness. ‘Hold on, Bill Smith !” roared bis honor, ‘l've got a thing or twdßo eay to that! Addreesing the spectators, his honor seid : | *This here prisoner stands com witted to jail. [ know the evidence fails to convict him of stealing Bill Simmonses hog, but the durn cuss, I | make no dvabt, has hitched on to some other feller’s pork in the past, and if he hes vot done so in the past he is just that rotten mean that he will steal somebody's hoss or hog sometime or other, and I thiok it lis ‘my duty to cage him/’ ~ ‘Bat, your honor, said the priso ‘ner’s lawyer, my client bas proved ‘an alibi!’ ‘T dont care for your alibis or any other rigmarole, this man will be caged.’ ‘l'll sue out a writ of quo warran~ toand mandamus and shame you with a writ of habeas corpus !’ yelled the attorney. ‘You may quo warranto until you are blind and mandamus uatil you’re dumb and dig up sll the corpses in the county, but you cant’s move this court !’ thundered the judge. ‘Mr. Counstable, the prisoner stands committed ! - ‘MAY I KISS THAT BABY ? To a soldier, far away jfrom home, there is no more touching sight thano that of a baby in its mothers arms While on their way to Gettysburg, our troops were marchiog by night through a village, over whose gate way hong lighted lanterns, while young girls shed tears, as they watch ed the brothers of other women march on to possible death. A scene of the march is described by the author of ‘Bullet and Shell :’ Stopping for a moment'at the gate of a dwelling, I noticed a young mother leaning over with a chubby child in her arms. Above the womaun’s head swung a couple of stable lanterns, their light falling upon ber face. The child was crowing with delight at the strange pageant, as it watched the armed host pass on. ‘I beg yovr pardon : ma'am, said Jim Man~ pers, one of my men, as he dropped the but of his musket on the ground, and peered wistfully into the face of the mother and her child, ‘I beg pardon, but may I kiss that baby of yours ¥ Ive got one just like him at home, at least he was when I last saw bim, two years ago! The moth er, a sympathetic tear rolling down her blossom cheek, silently held out the ch’ld. Jim pressed hia unsha~ ven face to its innocent smiling lips for a moment, and then walked on saying. ‘God bless you, ma’am for that !’ Poor Jim Manoers! He never saw his boy again in life. A bullet laid him low the next day, as we made our first charge. $1,250 DamaGes. —The Atlants Post-Appeal says: The case of Mighili Bernardi vs. John V. Edge, C. D. Camp, P. Vandergrift and W. T. Linly, of Douglasville, was con cluded in the United States Court yesterday, the jury -returning a vers dict for the Italian of $1,250. The suit was a civil one for $lO,OOO, and cause of suit was based on the following sworn traoslated statement of the Italian: “The 9th of June, 1852, I fiud myselt with a quantity of plaster toys io the town of Douglasville, and as I just got there I sold 25 cents worth to a worthy lady. A few minates after Sheriff asked me the price of all my toys. I told him $5O. Af ter this, the Sheriff said, ‘You ask $5O for your toys; have got a li cense ¥’ I said No! ‘Well, you must pay $5O for the license.” I said ‘I will leave.” Then the Sheriff took me by the arm and brought me to the court house. As soon as he arrived at the court house he search~ ed my pockets and findicg $5 took them, and I never saw the $) agaio. Then the Sheriff with others made me take down the plank of images, kicked and broke them all to pieces and then knocked me down and jumped on me and kicked me almost to death, and they would have had me kiiled if I had not called loud and screamed so that citizens came to see gbout it and saved my life.” The fact that no malice wasshown the parties merely wantiog a little fun at the Italian’s expense, person al and pecaniary, it appeared, is the reason given for the reduced ‘sum.

Goodwin and West ‘moreland for plaintiff ; Geoeral Gar trell and Haralson & Culberson for defendants. eel R e ...Every time a certain man in Marietta goes to the post office he expects to get l another dun. He suys he is the ‘“‘dunnest” man in town. THE BAD BOY, He and His Chum Dissect His Pa. ‘I understand your pa has got to drinking agsin like a fish,’ said the groceryman to the bad boy, as the youth came in the grocery and took a handful of dried apples. The boy ate a dried apple and then put up a terrible face, and the groceryman asked bim what he was tryiog to do with his face. The boy caught his breath and then said : ‘Say, dun’t you know any better than to keep dried gpples where a boy can get h:ﬁbem when he ‘has got the mum@®? You will kill some boy yet by such carelessness. I thought these were sweet dried ap ples, but they are as sour as a board ‘ing-house keeper, and they make me tired. Did you ever have the mumps ¥ Gosh, but doo’t it hurt? You have got to be darn careful when you have got the mumps, and not go out bobsledding or skating, or you will have your head swell up biggern a milk pail. Pa says he bad the mumps once when he was & boy and it broke bim all up.’ ‘Well, never mind the mumps, how about your pa spreeingit? Try one of these pickles in the jar there, won't you?! I always like to have a boy enjoy himself when he comes to see me,’ said the groceryman, winking at a man who was filling an old fashioved tin box with tobacco out of the pail, who winked back, as wuch as to say, ‘if that boy eats a pickle on top of them mumps we will bave a circas here sure.’ ‘You can’t play no pickle on me, vot when I have the mumps. Ma passed the pickle to me this morning and I took one mouthful, and like to had the lockjaw. But ma didn’t do it on purpose. I guess she never had any mumps and didn’t know how discouraging & pickle is. Darn if 1 didn’t feel as though I had been hit in the bur of the ear with a brick.— But about pa. He has been fuller’n a goose every since New Year’s day. I think it wrong for women to tempt feebie minded persons with liquor on New Year's, Now, me and my chum, we can take a driok and then let it alone. We have got brain, and koow when we have got enough, but pa, whenever he gets to going don’t never stop until he gets so sick that he can’t keep his stomach inside of bimself. It is getting so they look to me to brace pa up every time he gets on a tear, and I guess I fixed bim this time so he will never touch liquor again. I scared him so his bald head turned gray in one night.’ ‘What under the heavens have you doue to him now,’ said the gro ceryman in astonishment. ‘I bope you haven’t done anything you will regret in after years.’ ‘Regret vothing,” said the boy as he turned the lid of the cheese box back and took the knife and sliced off a piece of cheese and took a few crackers out & barrel, and sat down on a soap box by the stove. ‘You see, ma was annoyed to death with pa. ke would come bome full when she had company, and lay down on the sofa and snore, and he woald smell like a distillery. It hurt me to see ma cry, and I told her I would break pa of drinkiog if she would let me, and she said if I would promise not to hurt pa, to go abead, and I promised not to. ‘ ‘Tben I got my chum and another boy, quite a large boy, belp, and pa is all right. We went down to the place where they sell arms and legs to folks who have served in theaimy, or & saw mill, or a threshing ma chine, and lost their limbs, and we borrowed some arms and legs, and fixed up a little dissecting room, *We fixed a long table in the bage ment big enough to lay pa out on, you kuow, and then we got false whiskers and moustaches, and when pa came in the house drunk aod laid down on the sofa, and got to sleep, we took bim and laid him out on the table, and took some big trunk straps and a circingle, and strapped him down to the table. He slept right along ell through it, and we had an other table with the false lege and arms on it, and we rolled up our sleeves and smoked pipes, just like I read medical students do whea they cut up a man. We put hickory outs in our mouths 80 our voices would sound different, so he wouldo’t know us, and 1 was telling the other boys what & time we bad cutting up the last man we bought, when pa woke up. p‘l said he was awful tough, and when we had got off his legs and had taken out his braius, his friends came to the dissecting room and claimed the body, and we had to give it up,l but I saved the legs. I looked at pa on the table and Le began to turn pale, and he squirmed around to get ap, but found be was fast. I had pulled his shirt up uader his arms while he was asleep ; as he began to move I took an icle, and in the dim light of the candles that were sitting on the table in beer bottles, I drew the icicle across pa’s stomach, and ‘said to my chum, ‘Doe, I guess we bad better open this old duffer and see if be died from inflamation of the lummacb from bard drioking, as the coroner said he did.” Pa shuddered { .

I am not dead.”— The other boys looked at pa in as tonishment and said, ‘Well, we just bought you for dead, and the coro ner’s jury said you were dead, and we ain’t going to be fooled out of a corpse when we buy one, are we Doc? My chum eaid rot if he knewad hisself and the other student said, ‘Of course he is. He thinks be is alive, but he died day before yesterday, fell dead on the street, and his folks said he had been a nuisance and they wouldn’t claim the corpse, and we bought it at the mor gue.” Then I drew the icicie across bim again, and eaid, ‘Don’t know about this doctor. I find that blood follows the ecalpel as I cut through the caticle. Hand me the blood sponge, please.” Pa began to wig gle around, and we looked at bim and my chum raised his eyelid and looked solemn, and pa eaid, ‘Hold on, gentlemen, don’t cut into me any more, and can explain this wmatter. I was only drunk.” We went to a corner and whispered, and pa kept talking all the time. He said if we would postpoue the bog killing he ‘would send and get witnesses that he was not dead, but that he was a res pectable citizen and bad a family. After we beld a consultation I went to pa and told him that what he said about beiog alive might possibly be true, though we bad our doubts.— We had found such cases before in our practice east, where men seem to be alive,but it was only tempoary. Before we bad got them cut up they were dead enough for all practical purposes. Then I laid the icicle across pa’s abdomen, and went on to tell him that even if he was alive it would be better to play that he was dead, because be was such a nuis< ance to his family aod they didn’t want him, aod I was telling him that I bad bheard in his life-time he was very cruel to his boy, a bright little tellow who was at the head of his class in Sunday-shool, and a pet wherever he was at all known, when pa interrupted me, and said: ‘Doc tor, plecse take that carving knife off of my stomach, for it makes me pervous. As for that boy of wine, he is the worst little whelp in this city, and be isn’t no pet anywhere. Now you let up on this dissecting business and [ will make it all right with you.” We held another consul tation and then I told pa that we did not feel that it was doing justice to society to give up the body of a no torious diunkard, after we had paid out tweuty dollars for the corpse.— If there was any hope that he would reform and try and lead a different life, it would be different, and I said to the boys: ‘Gentlemen, we must do our duty. Doc, you dismember that leg, and I will attend to the stomach and the upper part of the body. He will be dead before we are dooe with him. We must res member that society has some claim on us, and not let the better nature be worked upon by post mortem promises of a dead drunkard.’ Then I took my icicle and com menced fumbling around the abdo men portion of pa’s remains, and my chum took a rough piece of ice and began to saw his leg off, while the other boy took bold of the leg and said he wouald catch it when it drop~ ped off. Well, pa kicked like a steer. He said he wanted to make one more appeal to us, and we acted sort of impatient, but we let up to see what be had to say. He said if we would tarn bim loose that he would give us ten dollars more then we paid for the body, and that he would never drink another drop as long as he lived. Then we whispered some more and told bim we thought favor ably of his last proposition, but he must swear, with his haod on the leg of a corpse we were then dissecting, that he would never drink again, and that he must be blind foaled and led several blocks from the dissecting room, before we would turo him loose. He said that was all right, and we blind folded him, and made bim take a bloody oath with his hand on a piece of ice that we told him was a piece of another corpse, and then we took him out of the house and walked him arcund the block four times, and then left him on the coruer after he had promised to sepd the moncy to an address.that [ gave him. We told him to stand still five mioutes after we had left him, then remove the blindfold and go home. We watched bim from behind a board feoce, and he took off the bandkerchief, looked at the name on the street lamp, and found he was not far from home. He star ted off, saying : ‘That’s a pretty nar row escape, old man. No more whisky for you' I did not see bim again until this morniog, and when I asked him where he was last night he sbuddered and said, ‘None of your busivess. But I pever drick ‘any more; you remember that.’-— Ma was tickled to death, and she told me I was worth my weight in gold. ‘Well, good dsy. That cheese is mausty.” And the boy went out and csught a passing sleigh.
