An Angel Unalloyed. jUftlvestou News. ; 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. blu to mo kg lier nngty. Ferguson made several attempts to see if ho could not exasperate tier to look cross or scowl at him, merely to gratify his curiosity, but the more Outrageous he acted the more aii'a b!e and loving she behaved. 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 fered to bet s•'>o that it Ferguson were to go homo drunk, raise a row end pull the table-cloth full o( dish es off the table, she would show some some signs of annoyance, Ferguson said he did nol want to rob a friend of his money, for he Knew ho would win; but they at last made a net of sdi), tho friend to watch the proceedings of the eon. 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 Inn- just like those picnics we used to go to before wo got married! and then tiii- angelic woman deliberate ly Bat down on t o floor alongside ol the wretch, arranged the dishes and fixo I Inm a nice supp■ r. Thisbro.io Goorgo all up, Ho owned up bow only fioling her, 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, if riven will have to be repaired ami while-,vashed before it is fit for 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, see OD Gorman 8 notice of Money Loans to the farmers of ’iall,',9* Upson and Tavior counties. Vigor, strength and health ail found in one hot le of Brown's Lon liu.e'*. The Lime-Kiln Club- Detroit Free Poa-s. Do man who expecks least of de world am de one who has de few est complaints, said tho old man as the sound of rattling ho ts died away in tho hall, De man who im agines dat friendship will borry money at de bank am doomed to ands ippointmont. My friend may lend mo his shovel, but lie expects mo to return Ins hoe in good condi sliuu. lie may inquarc nrter my wile’s health, but it (loan 1 fuller dat I kin turn my chickens into his gar den, If lam siek Id mu' expect Ihe world to stop moving right lnog. If my next doah naybnr w ispers to my v i > dat lie am willing to sot up wid my corpso lio am and nng hi fail duty, if lam in want data miffin' to de people who hab plenty. If lam in trubble, dat am nothing to people who have snrathin to rotoice ober. De world owes me only what I can aim. It owe* mo room to pass to and fro, space fur a grave, and sich a funeral as do 010 woman kin pay fur and keep do pin full of filters. Do word's friendship reduces a man to rags as ofton as it clothes Inm iu fine raiment. De world’s sympathy blisters a man's bacK as often ns It warms his heart,Do world's charity excuses the crime of a boss-thief and am horror-stricken at the steal ing of a loaf of bread by an orphan, Du world promises cberytliin' and performs only what am convenient,* De man who relies on do hones ty of <le public instead of do vigi. 1,-nee of a watch-dog will have no harvest apples for sale. Do man who pauses a-t each stage of his ca reer fur de world to appl ,ud or con demn will become a loot bull fur all men to kick. Expect no friendship to last beyond tho moment when, )an want help. Expect no sympa thy t j endure I mgi r dan it takes fur tears to dry. Expect no praise from men iu de hsiuu trade. We will now continue towards de usual progranuny ot busines. Miab's Meal. From tho ltfuuHwic.k, (i t., A.tv r isor, We have no General Fluker on the island, and we arc glad wc have none. Our old friend who presides over this presides over this paper is welcome to 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.
