PARAGRAPHS OF TIIE PERIOD. Economy is the new year fashion and u Tory good fashion too. As daylight can he seen through very small holes, so little things illustrate a per son’s character. A South Carolina paper offers to take goats as payment for subscriptions. The editor is certainly after butter. Soliloquy by a tippler —The public al ways notices you when you have been drinking, and never when you are thirsty. Boh Toombs to Gov. Colquitt: “ Well, Governor, we gave you 682 majority in Wilkes. Would have given you more, but the niggers gave out!” An Atlanta belle hung up her stockings Christmas, ami when they were found they contained the feet and legs of the colored girl who stole them that night. The latest instance of “married in haste” was that of a couple united in matrimony on an express train while it was humming along at the rate of forty miles an hour. “Bright * of my xislOce ! give me an m !” said a printK 2 his sweetheart. She made a— nt him, and planted her , 'THB B tween his ils, which made him C *♦++*+*. Professor Tyndal, takes columns of print ed space to prove that heat generates mo tion. Any Fool who ever tried to sit on a ro<l hot stove could have told him that much. The plan of endowing the conductors and brakemon of railroads with police [tow ers, so that they may arrest and hold evil doers, is rapidly gaining favor throughout the country. A Chicago man dreamed his child would be scalded to death, lie took every pre caution against such a catastrophe, hut pre cisely live weeks and two days after the dream his little boy was run over by a cart and escaped uninjured. She— “ Now, Charles, dear, do he sincere and tell the truth for once in your life. Don't von love luihy just a little bit!'” Ho —“ Well, Mary. I can’t say exactly that 1 love the little beggar, but I’ve a sneaking respect for him for his father’s sake.” While the Patrons of Husbandry, have not, of late taken any part in politics, they have bv no means lost their organization. The statistics of the National Grange show that there are in the United States. 13,693 Granges, with a membership of 532,4(50. Last year mere wore 590 new Granges es tablished. They lmd been engaged a long time, and one evening were reading the paper to gether. “ Look, love 1” he exclaimed, “only fifteen dollars for a suit of clothes !” “Is it a wedding suit?” she asked, looking naively at her lover. “Oh! no,’” he re plied, “it’s a business suit.” “Well, I meant business,” she answered. The other night when the snow was on the ground and the young man was in his glory, she wiped away the frost from his moustache and ho said : “ I’ve found a red ear.” Then he kissed her. But when she leaned o*fer on his manly breast and discov ered his car, she drew herself away and ex claimed : “ I’ve found a circus tent!” “ I’ve got another conundrum, my dear,” said Mr. Dorkins, as he hurried into the house. “If you were on the top of Trinity Church steeple on the back of a goose, how would you get down?” Mrs. Dorkins thought she’d jump down, slide down the lightning-rod, tly down on the goose, fall down, and then gave it up. “ Why, if you wanted to get down, you could pick it oil' the goose,” said Mr. Dorkins, exultantly.” When he invited her to marry him, she gazed into his face and tenderly inquired if he knew what a costly thing he asked foil —a woman’s life, a woman’s wondrous love. Four months after the wedding he climbed through the scuttle on the roof, and when a neighbor came with a ladder to take him down he put it to him as a fellow creature, whether it wasn't a man’s duty to run when a woman rose up with a hot tea ket tle in her hand. An old man walked through Virginia City, on his way to “some place where folks wouldn’t crowd.” He said that fifty years ago he went to live on the Missouri river, in the woods, where game was abun dant, and solitude suited him. Civilization in its westward progress drove him out finally, and he migrated to Oregon, where he supposed that he would never he both ered m that way. To his surprise, a few years ago, he noticed that civilization was crowding him again—this time advancing from the Pacific. Now he is on his way to the Rocky Mountains. Roul cannibals have been discovered by missionaries on the islands of New Britian and New Ireland, off the northeast coast of New Guinea. These natives are nude savages of the Oriental negro type, who live more like beasts than human beings. The Rev. George Brown, a Wesleyan mis sionary, reports that he saw women roast ing the leg and thigh of a man who had been killed in a tight. In another hut smoke-dried human flesh was hanging. In another he counted thirtv-tive jaw bones of men and women. Cannibalism seemed to be common throughout the islands, not as a religious rite, but as an ordinary means of subsistence. The natives assured the missionary that the accounts heretofore published of a race of tailed human beings were true, and were certain that these strange creatures were not monkeys. Household Hints.
