A young lady who was inattentive at waist has broken off her engage ment with her lover because he re commended her to “scoop her mind up in a peanut shell and fix it on the game.” “Why didn’t you put on a clean collar before you left home?” called out an impertinent fop to an omnibus driver. “Cause your mother hadn’t sent home ray washing,” was the ex tinguishing reply. “Private Panel, you are wrong to smoke so persistently. Tobacco is poisonous.” “Ah, Sergeant, its joking you are.” “I never joke, and least of all, with my inferiors.” “But, Sergeant, my grandfather has smoked ever since ne was weaned, and now is seventy-four." “And what does that prove? Perhaps if he had not smoked he would have been ninety by this time.” An eminent judge used to say that, in his opinion, the very best thing ever said by a witness to a coun sel, was the reply given to Missing, the barrister, at the time. leader of his circuit.

THE MEXICAN PRESIDENCY. I.EttDO DE TEJADA RE-ELECTED BY A VOTE OF 131 AGAINST 45. . City of Mexico, October 29. —Congress having passed the laws regarding the press and extraordinary powers of the President, the House of Deputies consti tuted itself an Electoral College, and de clared the re-election of Lerdo de Tejada by a vote of 194 against 45. On the 2Gth Justice Iglesias addres-ted a communica tion to the Court, declaring his convic tion that there was no legal election, and requesting the Court to protest against the action of the Electoral College. He further proposed that the Court dissolve as a constitutional body. His first proposition was voted down— 6to 5. His second was voted down —7 to 4. On the 28th two new judges of the Su preme Court were installed, who are in accord with the majority. Iglesias has obtained leave of absence for one month. He is broken down for ever now as a public man, and the De cembristas are crushed out. Lerdo de Tejada has weathered a tre mendons storin, and has shown himself to be a man of great ability. He has the support of all the Governors excepting at Oaxaca. Pronunciados are throwing down their arms In various directions. Their resources are all exhausted and a final collapse is expected. Oaxaca still gives trouble, but Seneral Diaz and his follow ers are compelled to keep in the moun tains, and are afraid to meet the Govern ment troops. __ (•olden sand*.

The Xanthine Is the only hair dressing I have ever used which has removed the dandruff from the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, aud Borne of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, alter it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing rnauy distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, iu a very comminuted form, and In the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
