A publisher once gave the following:
“Woman, the fairest work in all crea
tion. The edition is large, and. no man
should be without a copy.”
This is fairly seconded by a youth
Who, giving his distant sweetheart
said, “Delectable dear, so sweet that
honey would blush in her presence and
treacle stand appalled.”
Further, in regard to the fair sex. we
have: “Woman, abe needs no.eulogy;
she speaks for herself.” “Woman, the
bitter.half of'man.”
In regard to matrimony some bach
elor once gave/“Marriage, the gate
through which' the happy lover leaves
his enchanted ground and returns to
earth.”
At the marriage of a deaf and dumb
couple some wit wished them, ‘'un
speakable bliss.” ,,
At a supper given to a Writer of com
edies a wag said: “The writer's v£ry
good health. May he live to be as t>ld
as his jokes.”
From a law. critic: “The bench and the
bjir. If it were not fortlie(>ar there
would be little use for the bench.”
A celebrated statesman, while dining
with a duchess on her eightieth birth
day. in proposing her health said:
“May you live, my. lady duchess, un
til you begin to grow ugly.”
“I thank you, sir” xj*e said, “and
may you long continue your taste for
antiquities.”—London Tit-Bits.
recently received* from an indignant
constituent, who had asked him in vain
for a “billet’* (a job in . pdlitics), the
following unique letter;
DeerSur: .You’re a fraud, and you
know it. I don’t care a rap for the bil
let or fen; the money, either, , but you
could have got it it for me if you wasn't
as mean as muk. Two pounds a week
ain’t any more to me than 40^8'hillin’s is
to-you, but I object to bein’ made an in*
ferail fobrof.. Soon as you was elected
by my hard-working friends a feller
wanted to betme that you wouldn't be
ia the house more’n a week before you
made a ass of yourself. I bet him a
Cow on that, as I thought you was
worth it then. After I got your note
Bayin’ you deklined to ackt in the mat
ter I druv the Cow over to the Feller’s
place an’j tole him he had won . : her.
That’sbrl I got by howling meself horse
for you on election day, andmonths be-
foar. You not only hurt a man's Pride
but yon injur him in bizness. I believe
you think you’ll get in agen. I don't.
An’ what I don’t think is of moje con-
sequince'than you imajin. I believe
you take a pleshir in entti^.’ your ( best
live times as many are on your side as
are on the winning side.
IZ you are inclined to be disgruntled,
we invite' your investigation . into the
minutest detail of the; manner of con
ducting the contest. The records were
kept in the most approved way, a double
checking system being used, and these
records are open to the inspection of any
who care to look for themselves.
Where there was a tie of’ numbers, it
was of course necessary^ to abide by the
laws of the contest and take them in
order of their receipt. The counts were
recorded and dated at the time of re
ception at this office, and it ’can be un
derstood therefore how the time of re
cord may not be the houT Of mailing.
Mail is subject to-delays and the count
may not have reached the office until
even several days after it was put in the
post office.
No partiality of any, description has
been shown in the entire management
of the contest. It is' unnecessary to say
that the judges were utterly unbiased in
the awarding of the prizes. The man
agement of the paper knew nothing of
what the correct count was until after
sixo’olock Thursday night. The correct
fount was sent by the patentee of the
dots direct to Captain E. M. Smith and
did not pass through our hands in any
way. We are satisfied with the results

“The prevalent idea that drinking
and smoking are companion vices is al
together wrong,” said a physician who
has made a special study of dipsoma
nia. “I And, on the contrary, that the
habitual drunkard 'is not abnormally
addicted to the use pf tobacco.' He may
use the-weed as a lesser stimulant
when not*'strongly under tbe influence
of alcohol, but when the drink gets
firmly intrenched in his systen^he.coreS

The city council has appropriated fif
ty dollars to aid in the'erection* of a
Georgia building at the World's Fair.
That hundred will be money well
spent. It pays to advertise.
“On the other hand, it is a rather
curious fact- that in the case of the
moderate drinker, who also smokes, the
cutting off of his supply of tobacco will
increase his appetite for alcoholic bev
erages, and while at first the liquor
will hot affect him nearly* so much as
when he is smoking, in tbe end it will
do him up. Consequently it is safe to
assume that the man who always used
liquor and tobacco in moderation will,
.if . he gives up tobaccoi take/more
strongly to liquor. In fact, this, ia no
assumption; it has been demonstrated
on numerous occasions.”—Philadelphia

Ho more courteous judge ever pre

mer justice of the New York court of
common pleas, Charles P. Daly- The.,
story is still told among our New York
lawyers bow on one occasion a young
attorney, while trying a case, indulged
in considerable vituperation of his op
ponent’s witnesses, finally going so far
as to answer the court very sharply
when requested to modify his lan
guage.
Knowing that Judge Daly was some
what of a stickler for the dignity, of
thg judiciary, lawyers and court at
tendants gazed at tbe offending attor
ney in amazement.
There was a long interval of silence.
Finally the judge leaned over the bench
and said, with hn ironical smile: '

old as I am you will have learned that
