The deserted benedicts those whose wives still linger “up the country,” are wearing elongated Lees. Their better halves will be pleased to learn this. And wc do not think the gen tlemen are “putting on,” either. John Montgomery sold a handsome piece ot suburban property yester day to Capt. Walters. The Captain has confidence in the future of subur ban property in the vicinity ot Thom asville. He is wist in his day and generation, “Doan hnng on to do ragged edge ob religion, chillun ; de man wot says he’ll be puffiekly satisfied if he gets jus’ inside ob de gate obhebben w’en he dies, an’ wot goes fur life on dat plan, will berry likely hab his nose smashed by collidin’ wid de outside ob de gate w’en St. Peter am a’slam- min’ it shot for de las’ time.”—Jeru salem Bugle. The last rose of summer has bloomed, faded and scattcd its petals, and the early autumn winds, sighing through dying foliage, and sobbing ’neath a leaden sky ’moog the turning leaves, sounds the requiem of another dead summer season, and proclaims the advent of fall. Yesterday was a typical fall day; the half chilly winds, the shifting clouds and the paltering rain, all spoke of autumn. Mr. Sam Wolff takes up his abode in Bostou to-day. Sam is a clever fellow, possesses excellent husiness qualifications, and he will no doubt make friends and do a good business in Boston.

A couple ot doe at Glen Arveo arc dead. Both were noticed sick by the keeper only a short time since, and they died within a few hours of each other. Their dea h leaves two little fawns motherless, unless some other doe adopts them. The herd of deer now number oyer twenty, and it is hoped that the disease that has made its appearance among them is not a contagious one. Correspondents of the New York Sun have suggested the following ns the longest words in tho [English lan guage: Dis-pro por tion-a-hlc-nesi. Hon or-if-i-'ca-bil-i-tud-in-i-ty. Dis- es-tab lish-mcnt-a-ri-an-isni. Un pro- pre-an-te-pen-ult-i-mnt-ca bil-i-ty. The meaning of the last is obvious says one correspondent, nnd may be predicated of the great majority *of words in every language, since it ap plies to all that have no “propre- antepenult;” that is to every word of less than six syllables. The stem of the word, of course, is “ult,” the remainder being an aggregation of prefixes and suffixes. Mayor Hopkins had only one case before him in the police court yester day. Young Williams was the offen der. Ho plead not guilty to the chnrge of disorderly conduct, but af ter hearing tho evidence the Mayor thought otherwise, and Young was given bis choice of paying a fine of $3 and cost, or going to jail for tour days. The cose against him for contempt, consisting of not obeying his polico summons, was not pushed, as Young plead sickness ns his excuse. A Double-Barreled Hero. From the New York Sun (Don). “Who fought our civil war?" asks our esteemed contemporary, the Chicago Herald. To the best of our knowledge and belief it was Col. El liott Ferocissimus Shepard. Speaking of tho late destruction ot a big whisky storehouse iu Louisville, Mr. Watterson of the Courier-Journal made this statement: “Over a million gallons ot whisky were burned — enough to givo every inhabitant of tho United States a good drink.” Old topers will read this paragraph with a deep groan. The Boston Globe, comparing the solid growth of tho south with tho in flated booms of paper citios, east nnd west, says: “In four years the south has produced 28,600,000 bales of cot ton, 2,000,000,000 bushels of corn, 200,000,000 bushels of wheat and 315,000,000 bushels of oats. The value of theso products was tho enor mous sum of 83,500,000,000." Would you buy gold dollars for fif- ty-cents?
