WIT AND Ht'HIOH. “Milligan, bo careful how you swap nags with that thur man ; he’ll cheat you.” “Never do you mind, Squire; I guess I am judge of hospi tality.” "Make good use of tho money, my son,” said a nice man who had given a newsboy live cents for some trilling service. "You bet,” said the boy; “I alius gets away with the other fellers when I pitches nickels In the alley.” “Yesterday being a pleasant Sun day,” says the Norwich Bulletin, “most of the boys who attended Sun day school brought home a good many chestnuts which a kind man had given them.” Said Mrs. Partington: “You see that blessed man that preached for us last Sunday? Well ho was first a circus rider, then a locust preacher, and he’s an exhauster.” “Was the crowd tumultuous?’ 'in quired one mau of another who had just como from a mass meeting, “Too multuousl oh, nojjustabout multu ous enough to comfortably fill the hall.” Brooklyn Argus: “Bruce Lad re course to the sword, Tell to a bow and arrow, and Washington appealed to the God of battles; but when a wo man strikes for liberty she uses any thing she can lay her hands on. An Irishman being a Bttlo fud dled, was asked what was his relig ious belief. “Is it me belafo ye’d be asking about?” said he. “It’s the same as the widdy Brady. I owe her twelve shillings for whiskey, and she belaves I’ll niver pay her; and faith that’s my belafe too.” It is related that during a recent public welcome given to Gen. But ler at Bangor, Maine, there was stretched across a street a flag bear ing the motto: “Welcome to Gen. Butler, the ‘Hero of Five Forks,’ and God knows how many spoons.” “I say, Jones, how is it that your wife dresses so magnificently, and you always appear out at the el bows?” “You see, Thompson, my wife dresses according to the (!a zette of Fashion, and I dress accord ing to my ledger.” Christmas morning they stood be fore the altar, and tho music of the marriage bells was sweeter to them than the music of the spheres. Christmas morning, four years later, a bald-headed man jumped out of bed, half distracted, and wuuted to know why his wife was such an in fernal fool as to put a Christmas horn in that boy’s stocking. “I would rather vote for the devil than for you,” was whut au American sovereign told a candidate in a Main street saloon last night. “But in case your friend should not come for ward,” said the unabashed aspirant for oflioe, “might I then count upon your assistance?” The glass glanced off from his cheek and ho passed out .—Riocfui (Xev.) Record. He was a right feeling man, and, speaking of the Turks, ho remarked that those blasted infidels have got to be cleared out of Christian F.urope. Then he sat down in a lager beer sa loon, and complained that the choir in the church near by sang so loud that ho couldn’t concentrate his mind on his Sunday evening game of auction pitch.— Norwich Bulletin. “Mama,” said a little one of tiiat kind in our hearing, one day, “have angels wings?” “Oh, certainly!” says mama, full of ideas derived from pictures, “they have wings.” “Then what did they want, a ladder for to get down to Jacob?” was the unexpected reply,under which mama found it quite time for her to go to l>ed. MURTOVfit CHICANERY. Tlie Myalery of HU Mluloa to the Pacific Const—California and Oregon n an IT. act to South Carolina , Florida und f.oti tslnna. Chicago Times, November loth.] Let ns preserve peace. There is no use of boiling over the business. There appear a good many ways of escaping the dilemma which ruflian ism. Granti3m and Kelloggism have brought us unto. For example, the mystery surrounding the sudden de fection of California and Oregon from Tilden is now beginning to make it self apparent. It wulbe remembered that so soon as the election was decided In Ohio and Indiana, the very morning after the eiection Morton conspieuou&ly quitted Indiana for California. His ostensible purpose was to serve on the committee authorized by the Senate to investigate tho Chinese commission. This belief he fostered by his prompt departure after the work of the election. It is now made clear that the sudden flight was not disgust aud despair which tho elated ludianians fancied. The events of the week prove that the October elections were discussed by the Re publicans beforehand and the agree ment come to that if Indiana went for Williams and Ohio was barely saved to Hayes, there would be no hope of New York and New Jersey. Could Hayes bo elected without those States? It was decided that with the use of the troops North Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana could be saved. Tbe vote of those States with tho Pacific States would bring Hayes four more votes than he need ed. Morton, who is an adept in electo ral frauds, undertook to carry Cali fornia and Oregon, as if Chandler would attend to selected Southern States. It will he remembered that the Hayes journals persistently claimed that he didn’t need New York to elect him. Morton set to work on this theory, and the results of his adroit and unscrupulous manipulation were seen on the day following the election. California, which had given the Democrat, Irwin, a substantial majority for Governor last year, was made to give 3,000 or 4,000 Bepublican majority; and Oregon, which has been steadily Democratic, was counted upon even before a return by Morton to Hayes as 1,500 Kopublican. But all this fine scheming is going for naught. By the curious rea soning of the Republicans there will be no redress for them should the Democratic Governor of California take the advantage of just the same circumstances seized by Kellogg and his kind to throw out the vote of Louisiana. If the frauds are as great in that State as California the result can be made more decisive by the rejection of the three Electoral votes of that commonwealth now as cribed to Hayes, though on no sub stantial or explicit authority. It is a humiliating and saddening exhibition of Republican Govern ment that methods of this sort are ever discussed, let alone possible. Were the real sentiment of the three Southern States now in doubt undis turbed, there would be no need of measures so repugnant to the better instincts of all Americans. It is the toleration of such malefactors as Kellogg, Packard, and their lawless associates, which brings the nation to the peril, at least, of imperfect and unphilosophlc methods. It will be no credit to the decency or forbear ance of the party of Grantism that Mr. Tilden takes the place he was elected to in March next. TjanEa COLU M 811 8 DAILY TIMES JOB OFFICE, Columbus, Ca.

Tbe following is an extract from a description, published in tho Now York Tritmnt, by the wo! known agriculturist. Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who havo turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil Is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and aurfaco gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in which deposits oi peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, alter it has been exhausted of its natural fertllitv. It is oertaiuly ono of the most extensive fertile tracts, in au almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that wo know of this side of tho Western prairies. We found some of tho oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. Tho 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 substance., generally ln tlm form of Indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms ofancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through tho soil, in a very comminuted form, aud in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as tho farmer desires to cultivate.
