They F;ght. \ small row took place on Sunday at Wash Garrison 1 * farm, between Tom Aaron and Jo*h Smith, both while, in which the latter tcceived a neveie wound on the back of hie head, which r as thought to be dangerous, bat reunited in nothing worse than a very paiofa! bump on that part of the creTruro, said to represent the organ of philrprogenuiveness. It teems tha* bad Hood was st rrd op between them ahont some watermelons. Aron ed Smith's children of destroying his prospeol* for a good crop, by palling < flf the young melons; and thus they became involved in a dispute. Aaron threw a rook at Smith and knocked him down. Smith said, “O, Lord! Tom, you’ve killed me,*’ at which Aaron fled in one direction and Smith in another. The conflict wagoner. l< is said that Aaron was badly scared and made himself scarce tor a while, but has returned aga n, a happier and wiser man. Struck Him for a Loan. A Texan in Washington once ap plied to Congiessman Culberson for a little temporary loan, promising to pay it back in thirty days if he lived. Months went by end the loan not paid. One day the Texan mot Mr. Culber son and extended his hand. The congressman stared hd didn’t shake hands After a few embarrassing mo ments dia wled ou'; "I don’t know you, sir.” “Oh. yes, you do. lam Mr. Blank of Ban Antonia.” Culberson shook his head as he re plied with gravity: “Yon are not the Blank of San An toDia that 1 knew. He borrowed some money of me and said he would return it in thirty days if he lived. That was a year ago. I have ne\er Men the money, so I know Mr. Blank of San Antonia, is dead, for be is a man of his woid.” The Texan stammered and shame facedly said: “I haven’t got the mon ey just at present, but--.” “Vou don’t owe me ad and cent, 4 sir,” interrupted Mr. Culberßon, in his impeiturable manner. The man I re fer to is dead, or he would have paid the money.” Tbe Ban Antonia man disappeared and baa carefully kept away from Con gressman Cnlherson ever since. He bolds an office in the treasury depart ment. The Bard was asked to compose a little poem npon his childhood, and this in what he produced: “How dear to my heart is the school i attend ed, and how I remember so distant and dim, that red headed Bill and the pin that I bended and carefully put on the bench nncier him. And how Ire call the surprise of tho master, when Bill gare a yell and sprang op from tbe pin so high that his head smashed up the plaster above, and tbe scholar# fill set op a din. That aotive boy, B:lly, that high-lesping Billy, that loud shouting Billy, that sat on a pin.” Patient (to young Sawbones, who is about to cut off his arm) —“Do yon think the operation will be a success, dret •?” Young SawbonoF--“Of course it will; I’ll have that arm off in less than ten minutes.” Cosamanioa'ed. Eds Observer: —I >• in the last issue of your paper the proceedings of the oounty mating *0 appoint dele gates to the various co rrant on*, state, congressional and senatorial, and also aa a t ele an senatori 1 to a ion. It goes on to state, “when Banks was attached to the 33 and senatorial district it wae distinctly understood that each coanty should be tepresent ed in the sena’e ?n regnlar rotation Thie agreement bat fceeu adhered ti so far, but the last senatorial conven Hon, two years ago, passed a resolu tion placing the rotatiou system o i the basis of population. How wa Btnks attached to the senatoiUl district? Was the district not composed of the three counties? Did the constitution say anything about rotation? Wbat led to the resolu ion by the last conveation at Gillsville? Did Hall and Jackson not ask Banks to put her candidates before the con vention and let them have a choice? Was Banks or her citizeas not denied the riyh' by ring rule, and only one man’s name conld be presented and the other counties must take him or nine? Was that not what forced Jickp n and Hall to pass this resold tion? It lo’ks like Jatkson and Hall have some rights m the ease—‘heir cit ie®, ‘heir railroads, their faototies, their semina'ies, colleges, and all their wealth; th’y certainly ought, under the rotation system, have a voice as to who the man shall be, and if the citi zenß of Banks is denied the right to present any man they chose, it would be bet ter to give the whole matter over to the other counties; conventions should be of the people; the whole peo pie, and not of a few designing offie seekers, who are de erm : ne 1 to over ride the wish and will of the people by conniving to that end. It is the du y of conventions not to have any porson al objects in view, but the good of all the people, and consult together and determine who will be the most suit able man to fill the office. But, in stead of that, they select the delegates themselves, and men that they know will go tor their interest, and they meet, only to confirm what has already been accomplished by wire working. It appears from the number of dele gates to the senatorial convention, that they intend business; that they„ are going to declare the balance of | ow er role right now. Is that n t a vain threat? Balanoe of power, what doe that mean, and what would it lead to? Let’s see. Well, if Jackson hicks up Banks will form an alliance witb Hall and leave Jackson ont in the wet. What advantage would Hall gain in that? She would only get a senator every two yeaia, and it is plain (bat •he would for n an alliance nearer her eqna', that would be Jackson, and not Banks. lam afraid they will scate Bali and Jackson. If a big delegation will scare, they will quake 1 would think the beat plan wonld be, for delegates to own 'he truth, that Banks done wrong two years aye, and have deserved the passing of that resolution. If nail and Jackson wonld restore them back to their original standing in the rotation system, they shonld try to do better in the future But when •he fly gets on the chariot wheel, what a dost l Citizeh. What Came f it. Notwithstanding the urgent entrea ties and protest of the widowed en 8 press that no sutoppy should be per f. rmod on the body of the Emperor Frederick, the new emperor, disregud ing the appeals of his mother, earned a post mortem examination to be nr de The post mntrm has revea’td th rt fact so long denied by Sir Moiell Mac kenzie aad other surgeons, namely that the malady with wbieh the la*e em; ero was afflicted was cancer in its most malignant and ii curable form This being the esse, Emperor Freder : ck wss debarred by certain clauses in the Prussian constita ion concerning princes afflicted wi'h incurable msla dies from sore eding to the throne, and according to the letter of the law his accession was an illegal act.

The Philadelphia Press tells this story: Congressman Browne of Indi ana, has a constituent in Washington who occasionally indulges too freely in the flowing bowl, ne has been a good fellow in hi® day, but like men of his calibre, has rapidly descended the ld dcr. until now he is compelled to ask ass'stance to carry him through the day quite frequently. A few days ago he called on Mr. Browne and said that be wanted a dollar with which to ge' supper, lodging and breakfast. Mr Browne handed fifty cen s to him with *‘ v ou can get all that yon wait js well as a few drinks for this half dol lar. He protested that he could do noth ing of the kind, and asked Mr Browne how it could be accomplished. '‘Take this half dollar.said the congress man, “and upend ir in the ordinary ncuuner. Get full aud the polioe will pull you in and take care of you t r the night and give you a break a tin the morning.“ The constituent pocketed the money and departed, and Mr. Browne forgot *ll about him until the next day. Iu the morning a policeman canoe to his honsa with a message from the const tuent. He sent woid that he bad taken Mr. Browne’s advice, had been arrested and he wanted him to come and g< t drhmrnt of the police court.
