HgtoUancons. [original.] IjHavn’t Got «i Drop. Not a hundred miles from here, there were two very aged men, who were both members of the same church. — One was generally known by the ap pellation of uncle Jackey, the other, daddy Zekiel. Daddy Zekiel was very deaf? it was with great difficulty that any one cculd make him understand what was said to him. He always took his dram, and would sometimes take too much. For this, the Church sent uncle Jackey to see him. He found dad py Zekiel in his chair-shop, at work.— Afterthe usual salutations, uncle Jackey commenced his arduous task as follows: ‘Well, brother Zekiel, cbe report has reached the Church that you have been taking too much dram.’ Daddy Z., pointing to a chair, said, •that is fifty cents.’ ‘You don’t understand,’ said uncle Jackey. ‘The Church has heard that you have been taking too much dram !’ Daddy Z., pointing to another chair, again said, ‘that kind is worth sevety five cents—and is as good a chair as any man can make.* Uncle Jackey, a little irritated and speaking as loudly as possible, said, ‘we’ve heard that you have drunk too much dram !’ ‘No, brother Jackey,’ replied daddy Z. in a tone that indicated his sorrow, ‘I haven't got a drap, or I would give you a dram now.’ Uncle Jackey was completely non plused, and gave up the job in despair. Grim Humor.— The following blithe paragraph from a New York paper illus trates what passes in that city lor fun: ‘To-day our murder market is steady, convictions weak with a dowrfward tendency. Chances for new trials brisk and improving. Certainties of execu tions scarcely quoted at all. There are eight convicted murderers iti the Tombs, and four awaiting tho action of the courts. Only one is counted on as a Sure contribution to the gallows, and be is a poor Irishman who killed his wife in a drunken quarrel.’ Lydia Thompson and Alexis.— The latest conquest of Lydia Thompson has been in securing a favorable recognition from the Grand Duko. He visited tho Olympic Theatre in .St. Louis a few evenings since, and was so well pleased with the fair Lydia that he ordered his Councillor of State tho next day to pre sent her a bracelet valued at $1,500. — The souvenir is of heavy gold, with a very large amethyst stoue surrounded with diamonds. Shooting Affair. — The Griffiin Star •ays, on last Friday morning a young man by the name af Bt tier Nelsou, win was living in Pike county, and who is said to have been a very quiet, inofi'en •ive young man, was found in his bed shot in the top of his head, which shot mused his death ou Moiuluy morning. It is thought someone slipped in his room and shot him aud then made his escape.
