; The best natured woman iu the
• United States lives in Austin, She
ha* been married a number of years
to a man named Ferguson, but she
and her husband have never bad a
quarrel yo', and ha has frequently
boasted that! it, was utterly impossi.

cross or scowl at him, merely to
gratify his curiosity, but the more
Outrageous he acted the more aii'a

Last week ho was talking with a
friend about what a hard time 1 e
had had trying to find out if his
wife had a temper. The friend of

some some signs of annoyance,
Ferguson said he did nol want to

volition through the window.
Ferguson came homo late and ap
parently, fighting druntc. She met
him at tho gate, Kissed him, and as
sisted his tottering steps to the
house, lie sat down in the middle
of tha floor and howled out;
Coulonnd yer ugly picture, what
did you moan by pullin ' that chair
from me?
O, I hope you did not hurt your
self. IT is my awkwardness bat I'll
try and not do it again, and helped
him to his feet, although sho had
had nothing in tho world to do with
his falling.
He sat down on tho sofa, and sli
dod oft'on tho floor, abused her liiio
a pickpocket for lifting up ono end
of the sofa, all of which she took
good nutnrodly, and finally sho led
him to the supper table Ho threw
a plate at her, but she had not no
ticed it ( and asked him it he would
taKo tea or coffee.
Then the In me seir. id tho table
cloth and sat down on tile floor,
pulling the dislios and everythin#
else over with him, in one grand
crash.
What did this noble woman do?
Do you suppose she grumbled and
talked about going homo to hoi m i,
or that sho sat down and crio l like
a fool, or that slio sulked and pout
ml: Not a bit of it. With a pleat
rut smile hlic h iid:
Whv ( Geoigc, that,'* tv new idea
isn't it? We Imvo been married ten
years and have never yet ate our
supper on the floor. Won't it be

and offered to give her the $5!) to
get her a now hat, but blio took the
money and bought him a now suit
of clothes and a b>x ol cigars,

that kind of a woman.
Etiquette in the Celestial Of
ficial World-
Chinoso etiquette in tho official
world strictly demands retirment
from office for the apace of tliroo
years on the death of either parent.
To this there is hardly ever an ex
ception, Tho theory is that the
grief of the b reuved son is so in
consolable as to incapacitate him
for public functions; and, morover,
the sacred Unties of attending to tho
funeral ceremonies and performing
the sacrifices at the grave must nec
esKiuily absorb bis time and atten
tion. Wnatevcr his rank or wealth
may be, lie must go about clad in a
course hempen garment unstitched
at the borders; ho must sleep for
forty-nine night* 0,. the bare floor (
with h brick lor bis pillow, beside
the coffin; he must remain uusliav
ed mid uncombed for ot e hundred
days, and for the whole period ot
three years lie can have no music
or joyous evint of any kind in the
house. At such a time public duty
must give way to private; ami the
official, no matter what his stand
ing, who should omit to report tho
fact of his father’s or mother's de
cease and request permission to re
tire would certainly incur grave cen
sure, and probably be dismissed
from office altogether.
It is better to borrow money on live
years' tine, at a low rate of interest, than
to pay six-month's lenders tbirty-six per
cent an t supply—credit-men seventy-live
per cent, tor the use of money. Do you
see n? The difference is astounding,

him, for lie w 11 breed a famine wher
ever lie sojourneth. For have we
ever seen his (that is, Fluker's) like,
but we have hired a mail to hunt up
such items, and we have named him
Miab. lie makes his debut in this
line with the case of a well known far
mer of i yler county, who seems to
have a capacious maw. ihe other
day, alter having eaten at home a
hearty dinner he called at a friend’s
house, and lunched on two quarts of
baked beans,four pounds of roast pig,
six full sized peach pies and a gallon
of buttermilk, and then called for the
plum orchard to finish up on Miab
also tells of a snake that he helped
catch alive in Florida in 1880. It
then had twenty-one rattles, was
fourteen -feet-long, four inches be
tween the eyes, and twenty-two inches
in circumfctence. Miab claims that
this snake is still alive, in the possess
sion ot a saloonkeeper in Jackson!
ville, and that by this time ought to
have twenty-two rattles and be much
larger and longer. We call upon
tome Jacksonville to corroborate
Miab’s snake yarn.
Maj- Opie Read
Arkansas Traveler : The editor of
this paper has been elected drum
major of the Quapaw band. This is
a distinct on which few men enjoy,
and in fact it is a question of doubt
whether or not the newly elected of
ficial will eujoy the honor. A drum
major ! Of all-sad words of tongue- or
pen are these : “He might have been
a drum major, but was lorced to con
tent himself with the position of Presi
dent.” Thomas Jefferson, in a speech
just alter his election to the Chief
Magistracy, said: Young men, of
course hut few of you can ever attain
the fruition of ambition’s desire, but
when you aim, aim high. Do not sat
your pins for constable or Governor
when you can, with about the same
expense, reach up for the position of
drum major.”
A few (lays from now and the ed i
tor of this paper will appear on the
streets dressed in a black-furred nail
keg, Indian beads, bird claws, tin
monograms and a pole with a brass
ball. Then the kidney-footed gen
tleman who carries the big red axe in
the colored procession roust get out
of the way. For years the kidney
footed gentleman has been the mos t
prominent man in the Sotith, but he
is now shorn of his glory. The white
people of Little Rock have submitted
too long to this broad-ax sovereign,
anl are determined to eclipse him
with the editor of this paper.
