the fine Maltese cat stretched lazi

him.
When the cat has kittens, she
said to him one morning, will you
be kind enough to let me have one
of them. I am so fond of oats.
When the oat has kittens, said
the butcher, you certainly shall
lave your pick of them.
She waited a few weeks and then
mentioned the subject to him
again.
Nothing doing yet, lady, he re
plied.
A week or two afterwards she
expressed some impatience to the
cashier. I shall be gone from the
neighborhood, she said, before I
get that kitten he promised me.
If you wait until that cat has
kittens, said the cashier, with a
smile, you’ll wait until sausages
grow in strawberry beds.
The bride started, and her faoe
grew scarlet. She left the shop

Why He Was In The Procession.
Amusing stories of Maj. Sam
Early, brother of Gen. A. Early,
are still told in Charleston, W.Va.,
where he lived for several years be
fore the Civil War, says the Den
ver Republican. The major was a
bigoted old-line Whig who hated
a Democrat worse than a hobo
does work. He had in his employ
an Irishman who aped his master
in everything—dress, manners and
politics
Prior to a certain state election
in which party spirit ran high the
Democrats had a torchlight pro
cession. Imagine Maj. Early’s cha*
grin and fury to behold marching

Boston People Are Particular.
Rev. Robert Collyer, whose long
and successful ministeral career
has been passed chiefly in Chicago
and New York, fiuds the complete
satisfaction of Bostonians in their
oity a source of amusement, says
Success. He says he ouce dream
ed that he was in the viciuity of
the pearly gates, and saw two la
dies approaching, asking entrance.
Where are you from? asked St.
Peter.
We’re both from Boston, repliep
one of the ladies.
Well you can come in, said St.
Peter, but yon won’t like it. A
variation ot the same anecdote is
the story ot a Boston woman who
hae passed within the gates and
was taking her first look around.
It is very nice, he exclaimed—
very nice, indeed, but—this with a
sigh—It isn’t Boston.
The Senatorial Nominee.
Hon. P. F. M. Furr, of Banks
county, nominee for senator from
the 83rd district, was in Jefferson
a short while laBt Monday. He is
one of the leading men ' m Banks
county. He is probably the larg
est laud owner in the oounty, and
one of the, most snocessfu
farmers. He has always taken an
aotive interest in politios, but
never ran for an office until thiB
year, when he offered himself as a
candidate for seuator. It was
Banks county’s time to name the
candidate, and in the primary on
April 20th. Mr. Furr received the
endorsement of Banks oouuty by
a large majority. We have known
him for several years, and he is
a splendid man, and will make the
38rd district a very capable, faith
ful painstaking senator.—Jackson

The real leaders of Chioago sooi

their wardrobes. Mrs. Potter Pal
mer averages that sum, and Mrs.
Arthur Canton, who has the repu
tation of being the most splendidly
dressed woman in Chioago society,
is alleged to spend a little more
than that. These figures were
given by a speaker before the dress
maker's oonveutiou in the Windy
City a few days ago. The speaker
further said that, by exeroising
excellent judgement and dose
economy, a society girl could dress
well on $2,500 a year, though the
girl ought really to have $5,000 a
year for her olothes. In New

are about half a dozen women who
spend upwards of $50,000 a year
for dress.*
