Ther^^P^Hjut four persons in tht
UnUwd states, other than those holding
public office, who arc allowed to receive
nnd send mail matter free of postage.
These four persons nre tho widows of
the late Presidents Polk, Tyler, Garfield
and Grant. Au act of Congress is re¬
quired to grant this privilege to any
one, and it has been so granted to the
widows of Presidents since 1836, when
the first act was passed conferring tho
distinction upon Mrs. L'-'tyP. Madison.
According to the United States Postal
Laws and Regulations, which is a com¬
pilation of tlie rules published for th«
Information and guidance of Postmasters

titled to the benefits of franking mail
matter, and it is true that no law has

culiar oversights of Congress which are
of frequent occurrence. Tho P.st

tog tho fact that Mrs. Tyler is in equity
entitled to the same privilege which has
by law been gra ited to Mrs. Polk, Mrs.
Garfield and Mrs. Grant, accepts her
frankin lieu of postage aud collects

An eminent elee' virian in New York
was recently iuter\ > -1 on the pro
posed execution of criminals by elec¬
tricity. “Do l b Jove in killing a man
by electricity?” he exclaimed when
asked what he tin ight of executing a
man iu that way. “No, I do not. I
don’t believe tho profession knows
enough about elt i tricity yet to warrant
them attempting to kill a man with it
All electricians know that different men
are differently affected by electricity.
Soma can stand a little, others more and
some can take au enormous charge with¬
out fatal result. This must be borne in
mind in giving a man a charge, and it
is especially unpcitant . in . the . case of .
executing a murderer. Suppose they
don’t give him 1 mgh and he recovers,
•s 1 did, what torture must he suffer!
And A why should:: t no . recover and 1/1 fool
the electricians? If lies a naturally
strong man, has no heart trouble and is
well pn served the chances arc that he
will pull through if they give him the
opportunity. Or again, if he has bees
a laborer, accustomed to manual labor
or exposure to the sun for a long time.
his flesh must necessarily have become
more or less hardened, that is, insulated,
and the electricity would have less effect
upon him."

CROCKETT'S BIRTHDAY.
CELEBRATING the birthday op the
HERO op THE alamo.
--
The one hundred and third anniversa
rv of the birth of David Crocket was
celebrated Saturday at his birthplace,
Strong's Springs, in Greene County,
Tenn. There was a military and civic
display. Speeches were made y Got.
ernor Tavlor, Cousmssman Alf. laylor,
E. L. Wtlis, ' of Ohio, and Col. R. H.
Crockett, a grand on of the oid back
woodsman. An immense crowd was pre
sent, and a fund wts started to bund a
monument.
Grant was the youngest President nt
his rst inauguration.
Peter Noddy.
Peter Noddy comes at niffit,
Down the chimney, so th y sty,
Sews our eyelids fast and tight
Til] tbo break of day.
And never yet has anybody
Caught a glimpse of Peter Noddy.
Often have I set my chair
By the fire to watch for him,
But he took me unaware
In the shadows dim.
And before my eyes would view him,
He had popped his needle through them.
In his thread a moonbeam white,
Stolen from the sky, I wonder?
Or. perhaps he tears the slight
Spiderwebs asu.ider,
And from out their glossy shreds,
Twines and spins his lissome threads.
And his fingers are so deft,
And his needle is so keen,
Not a sear or mark is left,
Where its point has been.
So he comes and so he goes.
Whence or whether, no one knows.
— D. IV. Morehead.
HUMOROUS.
There’s always a boom in loaded
guns.
The less head a man bus tho more
frequently he loses it.
If you are out in a driving storm don’t
attempt to hold the reins.
The orator should wear address coat,
and the surgeon a cutaway.
A man doesn’t feel in tlie least inflated
wheh blown up by his wife.
“At what time do 3-ou retire? ’ he
asked. “Bedtime,” she replied.
A large head does not always hold
brains—the hogs-head for instance.
When the small boy gets a new pair
of shoes there is something new under
the son.
Teacher—What is the difference be¬
tween a biped and a quadruped?”
Smart scholar—Two feet.
Tho bill collector probably doesn’t
like iiis business any better than the
man who pays him, but it has to be
duu.
“I nearly gave myself away last
night.” “Yes, I heard so—to Miss
Bjtickson, wasn’t it? Why didn’t she
take you?”
Miss Gotham—I adore travelling.
Were you ever in Greece, Miss Loin?
Miss L^iu of Cincinnati—No, 1 never
was; but papa was in the Lard Trust,
you know.
A traveling man says that a Boston
girl is a 1 right after you understand
her. The only trouble is that you can’t
understand her without consulting the
dictionary.
First Wife: Do you keep a servant,
Second Wife: Oh, no; I am scarcely
able to do the work for my own family?
and I cau not think of adding to tho
the burden.”
Timid youth—“I have a poem and l
want to see tlie editor.” Office hoy—
“The editor is busy. I’ll do just as
well. I’m on my way to the waste

Wonderful. Feat of a Miml Reader.
J. Randall Brown, a mind reader,
who claims that he taught Washington
Irving Bishop, performed a strange tost
at tho B jou Theatre in New York city.
A copper wire was strotched from the
stage of the Bijou to the Western Union
Telegraph office, on Thirtieth street and
Broadway, and over this wire, several
blocks long, he was apparently able to
read the minds of thoroughly trustwor¬
thy gentlemen. Professor Cromwell, u
well-known lecturer, proceeded to tho
telegraph office and placed one cud of
the wit© to his forehead. Brown, blind¬
folded, put the other end to his brow,
on the stage, and after a few moments
of hesitation wrote the figures “742” on
a blackboard in front of him. When
this was done a message was sent to the
professor that tho experiment was com¬
pleted, and a few minutes afterward he
returned to the theatre and said that
the number he had thought of was tho
one put down by Brown,
Cromwell stated that he had not
thought of the number until he reached
the telegraph office, when lie fixed his
mind upon it intently, without, how¬
ever, repeating it aloud. On the stage
with Brown at the time he performed
the experiment was a reliable committee
chosen by the audience, all of whom
were completely carried away by what
they saw. That there could h ive been
collusion between Professor Cromwell
and Brown is certainly out of the ques¬
tion, as the Professor’s standing is too
well established for any one to think
that he would lend himself to a piece of
knavery.
Large Western Farms Must Go.
Lts only in theory. The latest evidence
in support of these statements is the saie
ty the Grandma of over 4101,000 worth
ot their 100,000 acres of land m the
Red River valley. It brings $20 to $30
per acre, and the sellers take in pay
ment one-lialf of the1 crop each year at
its market value until the land* are pail
for . Thev wiselv refuse to sell over 640
, ma^ n , p . r , ° apwa
acres ° one
of only 160 to 320-acre plots to individ
uals. It is believed that if the plan
w ork9 wc!1 , this is to be the ..ginning 0 0
of a gigantic . . break. n 0 up of large farms
in North Dakota, an 1 the prospect is s
pleasing one.
Bavarian Cattle.
The cattle of Bavaria are peculiar in
many respects. Toey are said to be
good all-around cattle, com bining work,
becfand railk ’ in de z™. We
suspect, however, that they can becalied
mediocre cattle, in any of these respects,
f rom tb e American or English standard
of excellenc. . but . they , undoubtedly
serve the purpose well in a country

bor. Oxen there draw by traces fast '
