sav«: “You can get as tittht as you please
every day, and every-body will think you
are only sea-sick ”
“Don’t trouble yourself to stretch your
mouth any wider,” said the dentist to a
man who was extending his jaw frightfully,
“as I intend to stand outside during the
operation.”
“Mother, send for the doctor!” “Why,
my son?” 4 Case that man in the parlor
is going to die—he said he would, if sister
Jane would not marry him—and Jane said
she wouldn’t.
Poirtrsn —Mr. “Cbawls Teawmpson”
recently ran his head against a y >un«r ladv
during a cotillion. "Aw ! excuse me tieaw,*'
said he; “did it hurt, aw?” “No sir,” she
replied ; “it’s too soft, thank you.”
A chap the other day, asked bis sweet
heart if he might b* permitted to encircle
her in his arms and give her an ass cti- nate
hug “No.” said she, “I can’t allow that,
but I’ll split the diff-renee with you—y >u
may kiss me.”
“A Girl of the period” comments thus
upon Mormunism ; “How ahr-urd -four or
five wives for one man, when the fact is
each woman in these times ought to have
four or five husbands It would take about
that number to support her decently.”—

A kiss par excel!© l ce is the kiss on
the lips. Its superiority is easily explained.
All other kisses are necessarily cold in com
parison, fur they are not mutual. One per
son alone as an actor is concerned in a
mutual one. You kiss and instantaneously
are ki->ed. Ileuce we find lip kissing the
most favored.
Ch icago Lawyers. —The Chicago Journal,
says: “There is not a law office nor a law
library left in Chicago, except the few small
duplicate libraries at the residences of the
leading lawyers. There is not a paper
showing that there is suit pending in any
ot the six court of rcord in Cook c unty, irir.
eluding the federal court. There is not an
indictment in existence in the cuuntv
against any one, not a judgment, not a peti
tion in bankruptcy in the federal courts.
Even the duplicate flips that the lawyers
keep in their 1 ffiees of important cases are
all gone. A few may have escaped by be
ing taken luthe houses for Sunday or night
work. We may add that there «re in
Chicago about five hundred lawyers.”
The English Language. Mr. James
Brooks writes from abroad : “The English
language, I see—and the more I see the
better I see it —is becoming the Universal
language iff the educated world. Twenty
or twenty-five years ago, or less, only French
would carry you through the world ; but now
it is impossible to go anywhere from the
pyramids of Egypt to the mountains of Ja
pan, that English will pretty well carry you
along. Chinese house-servants, more or
l°ss sppnk English—“pigeon English as it
is ealled—but, nevertheless, comprehensible
English ; and go where you will, in what
ever society, English seems now to be the
tongue.”
A Chicago Jehemiade —Mr. W. D.
B inker has brought trom Chicago to New
York a curious memorial of the great fire.
Among the ruins of the Western News
Company's establishment, where an im
mense stock of periodicals and books was
reduced to ashes, there was found a single
leaf of a quarto Bible, charred around the
edges. It contained the first chapter of the
L iiftontationß of Jeremiah, which opens
with the following words: “llow doth the
city sit solitary that was full of people:
llow is she become as a widow ! she that
was great among the nations and princes
among the provinces, how is she become
tributary! She weeperh sore in the night,
and iter tears are on her cheeks; among all
hpr lovers she hath none to comfort her.”
And that was the only fragment of litera
ture saved from U e News Company’s great
depot.— New York Tribune.
A Great Invention.— There is a genius
in Titusville, who has invented anew and
effective kind of fly-paper, with m dasses,
glue and nitn-glycenne. A fly, for in
stance, is attracted by the molasses. lie
alights, gets the glue upon his legs and flies
away. Presently the glue fe'ds uncomfort
able, and he rubs bis legs together ; this ac
tion expn des the nitro- glyceiine, and the
fly, ’Oh! where is he?” The people in
Titusville who use this arrangement say
that they can sit in their rooms und hear
the crack ol explosions every minute or two.
Trie sound is as loud as that made by a tor
pedo ; and in the grocery s'orea the ear is
deafened, while the air is continually cloud
*-d with the flying arms, legs and heads of
bursted flies. They have many very curi
ous things in Titusville,-<ome whole-souled,

The State Democratic Executive Commit
tee assembled in this city yesterday, and
had full and free cons<>lutmn. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted :
Resolved, That the fruits of the victory
achieved at the December election c.tnnot
be secured without thorough organization.
We reiterate the opinion previously ex
pressed by this committee that men of
character and ability should be nominated
for office, and it should be regarded as a
patriotic duty to suport and elect them,
though individual preferences have to be
abandoned.
Resolved That the people of Georgia and
this Committee have an abiding confideuco
that the Democratic Legislature, soon to
assemble, will be guided by “Wisdom, Jus
tice and Moderation that its action will
he d»«creet, it** enactments just, nod its ad
ministration honest and economical.
Resolved , That this committee believe the
reports of the existence of Ku. Klux or oth
er secret political organization in this State,
which have induced Congress to take action
on that subject, are wholly unfounded.
That there have been acts of lawlessness
ai.d violence cannot be denied, but they
have not been instigated by eny partisan
motive or feeling The ill advised use of
the pardoning power, hy which notorious

Sensiiii.e Words Ab ut Advertising.—
The fullowing is from tho Journal of Com
merce, New York :
“People who sit nervously in counting
houses, or behind their goods, waiting for
customers to take them by storm, and
making no effort to let the world know the
bargains they have to offer, will find the
season very unpropitious. Many of those
who have spent large sums in hiring drum
mers and paying for other well-known
appliances to trade, have effected large sales
| but swallowed up too large a share of the
receipts in such enormous attendant ex
penses. The best remuneratiou has been
found by those who have returned to more
legitimate, an old-fashioned method of
pushing their business. We say it. not
simply because we are interested in this
line of expenditure, but ns our best advice
to all who wish to be enterpri.-elng and se
cure a large custom, there is nothing so
affective to this end as judicious advertising.
A little advertising may be like a gentle
touch of the whip to poor Dubbins’ horse,
‘a mercy thrown awaybut a liberal out
lay is almost certain to bring it in a largo
return, and this will last even beyond tho
current season. We do riot believe that
any who has valuable service or desirable
property to offer can fail of reaping a rich
harvpKt by continuous advertising on a
large scale.”
Queen Victoria.—Some very singular
stories are told about Queen Victoria, and
it is hardly supprising that the sober and
rather stupid English people should regard
her as insane. She has, it appears, a firm
conviction that Prince Albert is never
away from her, aDd that she can hold com
munion with him. A chair is placed for
him opposite hers in the library • his favor*
i e books are on the table, and it is an
ordinary practice with her to address him
aloud as it he were reslly present. At din
ner a knifd and fork are laid for him, and
the servants are directed to even go through
tbe formity of helping him. Every morn
ing a pair of boots are cleaned and set
down before the door of the chamber he oc*»
cupied, and at breakfast she not unfre
quently waits a considerable time for his
imaginary coming. It is said that she de
rives a great deal of ». on fort ami consola

does, these sentiments, it is no wonder that
