Many plants are so sensitive that they dose tlu-ir leaves during the passage of a cloud. The dandelion otrens at live or six in the evening.

Spivins ventured to impure if the root was not mutually long; hut that dentist was not going to admit that anything could happen that 1 ud not already occurred iu his experience. “Not at all,” he replied. “I have often pulled teeth whose loots reached down to the hips.” He mounted a chair nml took an other pull. He thus succeeded in get ting away with about a yard of the tooth, but tlie root continued to bang. At the same time the patient’.-, leg be low the knee, was violent!}* jerked Sp’.vms ventured to say that this was surely an unusual case. ‘*It is a little singular,” replied the dentist, “but I once pulled a tooth whose roots reached down to the man’s knees ” Having thus extinguished lus ques tioner, he tied his j aticnt to the chair ami straightened out his leg Uv put ting it in splint*. Then he took the forceps over his shoulder and walked away like a deck hand going up a bauk with a big rope.

Wc have learned from i>ersons who ntc acquainted with him. the following particulars regarding Mr. Lewis Hen ry Keith, of Kingston, Muss., who is said to have drawn the $100,000 in the recent Public Library Lottery. Mr. L. II. Keith is the only son of r. Henry Keith, who was formerly proprietor <»f the principal dry goods store iu Kingston, and one ot that town’s most respected and esteemed inhabitants. &ome years ago the elJer Mr. Keith sold his’establishment and lemoved to Boston, in which city he was rapid ly accumulating money until unfortu nately burned out by the great tire, which calamity left him a comparative ly poor man. * Mr. L. II. Keith, who was born aud educated at Kingston, entered Ins father’s store some years ago, aud has continued iu'tliat estab lishment since the removal of the lut- to Boston. Ilf is about twenty years of ago, tall, dark, good looking and is universally well spokeu of. About a year ago he embarked ia named life, and will now be raatcri- illy assisted tn defraying the expenses of housekeeping by the trifle of money which lie will receive from this city. He lias one sister, who is younger than himself and unmarried. The Keith familv arc old settlers in the Bay Stato, and arc very numerous at Kingston and Campcllo, iu which latter place they constitute a very large part ot the population. Mr. Keith has several relatives re*- iden: in this city. Among others, Mr. .inford Keith* the prominout boot id shoe merchant, who i* a cousin of the prize taker's father. < » a A Plain Talk. ’e clip the following from tllo La- Grange lii-porter, and fully endorse it; Last week a man came through La- Grange with pV.cnt stamps for sale, with which, he claimed, any man could print his own business cards, Jcc. He charged four dollars for the stamp and sold a numbor of them to business tell iu this place. The points wc ant to make are these: 1. 1 but for livi dollars (one dollar more than the cost of the stamp) no oulfi print one thousand business cards—enough to last almost any house town as long ns the stump will la*t. 2. The eards printed ia this oflice would be well printed; whereas, those printed with the stamps alluded to are blurred ami indistinct, and took like the post mark on an envelope. In fact they look so ugly that we doubt not those who propose to use them are i little ashamed ot their looks. After paying nearly the mice of i thousand ready printed cards for a tamp, the purchaser must then buy cards to print on, and do the Work himself. 4. The stamps will not last very- long—they will get gummed up; and if they should not, the owners will sooti get tired of using them. 5. We have iu vested our money in types, presses, etc., for the purpose of doing just this sort of work. Is it fair, then, to give your patronage to a strolling tinker, who has invested no money in your midst, who cares noth ing for the ntosnenty of your town, and who takes the money you spend and carries it away where you will never hear of it again. What you spend with us remains right here in Lagrange, except such a portion as necessarily goes abroad to purchase paper and other material that cannot be had here. Wc are net given to grumbling, we do not mean to grumble in this in stance, for most of the gentlemen who bought these stamps are patronizing its otherwise. But we take this in stance for an illustration of a general principal, and that principal is • “ Be fore you spend money away from home sec if you caunot get what you want at home.” A traveler cotring up from the cen tral Depot yesterday, stopped for a moment to examine a coat hanging in •prit- you try on some coats?” “I dtintio but I would,” n ?pomlc«l the traveler, con sulting lus timekiiler. and he went iu and began work.

In a spirit of kindness I said: “Stranger, your drawer strings are hanging down!” He gave me a savage look pot his hand on bis pistol belt, and drawled out: “ Look-a-bere. mister, ire you running them strings?” We learn that an Irishman who had been employed at the cemetery some time tine*, went to Washington to draw lib jay. After receiving the amount, the paymaster, discovered a satire cut ou the face, re mat ke«l. “You were ia the army during the war?” “Yc«.” said he. “What command were you in?” ■ “In Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee's com mand.” “Did y.»u have the audacity to ap ply at a Fodctfd cemetery lbr work when you were iu the Rebel arms?” “Ye*." -r^firtl t1»e Irishman, *T helped to kill them, and I thought I had a right to help bury them.’, PITTMAN BROS, DEALERS IN 5RY GdQD.S, BOOTS, HATS HARDWARE ETC., ETC.
