Ths Old Cherry Farm. "Sech a reediklls thing to do !" de clared Aunt Lurainey Mulford. '4 sh'u'd say Hazel wasn't in her sane senses !'' The Mulford connection, far and near, were teiribly exercised oyer ttie fact that Hazel Ilearthorton had in vested six hundred for the old Cherry- Farm. % 'A worn-out old place tint ain't wuth shucks !'J they asserted. When Uncle Ilt-zekiuh Mulford died, leaving a thousand dollars apiece to each of his two unmarried nieces, the two girls were looked upon as heiresses by the numerous kin-folk living in and around the little village of Dripping Springs. But when Hazel, in spite of all op position,persisted in investing six hun dred dollars of her legacy in the farm, as already stated, and invited Aunt Comfort Mulford to live with her,their discontent knew no bounds. "She might of invested her money safe with me,''complained Uncle Zeke, "an' I'd of give her live per cent, in trust on it. She could o' lived good on that ; but 110, she must go an' spend her money fust thing 'fore Uncle Ilez* ekiah was fairly cold in his grave." "That ole place won't grow nothin' but pusley and cockle-burrs," groaned Aunt Lurainey. "She'll starve to death on it, shore." "It'll be a judgement on her, if she does," declared Uncle Z'ke, grimly shaking his head as he lighted his cob pipe with a coal from the fire-ulace. And the rest of the kin-folks agreed with him, and prophesied all manner of ill-fortune for Hazel, All,that is,with the exceptien of Cousin John Mulford and hit wife, Arvilla. They upheld her in her unpopular proceeding. Cousiu John eyen went and mended the roof of the leaky but picturesque little cottage, which stood on a grassy hillside, sheltered by the sweeping branches of half a dozen or more black heart cherry trees which had given the place its name. "It's a pretty place," averred Cousin John, "An' Hazel will haye a home there if she ain't got uothiu' else. Her an' Aunt Comfort 'll live as happy as cows in a clover- field." But the other relatives shook their heads and drew long faces over Hazel's future prospects. "She might of bought a lot in town, if she must have proppity," they grum bled. But Hazel only laughed at their fore bodings. "I never had a home of my own," she said, "and I guess the old place will support me and Aunt Comfort as wsll as the robins that live up in the cherry trees." And when the three tiny rooms o f the little cottage were scoured as clean as soap and water could make them, the walls newly whitened, and the rooms filled with the pretty household furniture Hazel had bought, and which Cousin John brought out with his ox team, the young mistress of Cherry farm felt a serene content in her pos sessions that all the ill-natured fore bodings of the Mulford clan failed to disturb. "Thar you air, Hazel—snug as a bug in a rug !" said Cousin John, mopping his face with his red cotton handker chief, as he slartsd the lumbering oxen on their homeward way. "An' when you git yer plunder all put to rights, me au' Arvilly'll come an' make >ou a visit." "Be sure you do," cried Hazel, brightly. "And when the cherries are ripe, Arvilla can have all she wants k to put up." Melzena Mulford, Uncle Ilezekiah's other legatee, was no less loud in her denunciation of Hazel's investment. "Flow does she ever expect to git married I'd like to ;know," she com mented, "away off in that lonely place, with nobody but poky Aunt Comfort for company ? But I don't care, I'm sure, if she wants to make an old maid of herself. I'm a-goin to have the good of ray money while I'm voung." She accordingly indulged herself in the purchase of numerous and expen sive dresses and gew-gaws, banged arid frizzed her hair in the latest style, car ried a scarlet parasol in her village walks and after enjoying the triumph of exhibiting herself and her new pos sessions to the inhabitants of Dripping Springs, she announced her intentioii of going to the seashore for the sum mer. "Going a-husband hunting,"declared the gossips. "There ain't nobody good enough for her in Dripping Springs !" But if Melzena heard them she paid no heed to their gossip, but packed her big new Saratoga trunk with her new finery, and set out on her journey. As the weeks passed on, Hazel and Aunt Comfort enjoyed themselves in their new home, in spite of the eyil prognostications. MILIIEIM, PA. THURSDAY, JULY 31., 1884. (4 And indeed, though tho dissatisfied kinfolk still shook their heads over Ha zel and her doings, they were very well pleased to drive out to the farm on summer afternoons, and eat their till of ripe black-heart cherries, or drink tea from Hazel's flowered-china tea cup ;or to spend the day, and dine on fried chicken, green peas, new potatoes and other early vegetables, raised by the industry of Hazel and Aunt Cora fort, with a little help from Cousin John and his hired hand,.Mike. ****** * * "Married ? No; nor I don't never expect to he," solemnly asserted Mr. Nicholas Bycroft, as he fastened the hasp of his trunk, and tcok down his breech load in rifle to see that it was in order. For Mr. Nicholas was making final preparations for his journey to Texas, where lie was going into stock-raising on a cattle ranch of several hundred a cres. "Get married,indeed !" lie continued muttering to himself. "There ain't more'n one girl in a hundred I'd have, au' like as not that one wouldn't have me. If there wis a girl, now, ttiat thought of anything beside a-curling her hair and dressing herself up in silks and furbelows, an? had any idee of what a home ought to be, I dun know but I might— But, pshaw ! if there is any sich girls, I've never coma a cross 'em and never expect to. I'll be an old bachelor and live by myself, like Uncle Tom." ****** * * "Bless me, Hazel," cried Aunt Com fort, one bright summer morning, "here's your Cousin John an' Arvilly a-comin out in the spring wagon, an' a man with 'em. Who kin it l>e ? 'Tain't the minister, I know, fut he's more grizzled lookin' an' liaint got a pinted mustache like this one." It was baking-day, and Hazel was in the kitchen, her sleeves rolled up, and her cheeks Hushed to a bright damask red. "I hope the best table-cloth is clean, whoever it is," she returned, peeping into the oven at a pan of cherry-tart, that were almost swimming in their own crimson juice. The stranger with the "pinted mus tache" proved to be Mr. Nicholas By croft, who has stopped on his j mrney to spend a week with his cousin Arvil la, John Mulford's wife. Mr. Bvcroft's visit to the Cherry Farm was bv no means his last one ; and for some reason or other,his week's visit stretched to a month, and the month had almost doubled it3elf, and still he lingered at his cousin's near Dripping Springs. One summer night he stood witli Ha zel on the latticed porch at Cherry Cot tage, the soft moonbeams flittering down through the scarlet bean vinos overhead. "There ain't another woman in the world I ever wanted to marry. Hazel only you !" whispered Nicholas, earn estly. "I want a wife that can help me to make a home and to enjoy it af ter it is made. Think of my big ranch, out in Texas, now. I shall live there a lonely old bachelor all my days, unless you go with me. Say, Ilazel, will you go ?" And so, much to the delight of Cous in John's folks,and the surprise of oth er relations, the wealthy cattle-ranch - er carried Ilazel off to be mistress of his Texas home. Aunt Comfort was left possession of Cherry farm, rent free, for the re3t of her days ; and here, Melzena Mulford was glad to seek an asylum when she returned from the seashore, with onlv a remnant of her legacy left, and with no prospects of marriage settlements on hand. Many Scotchmen insist that the deerhound was the original of all the dogs of Great Britain. It is said that little boys in Mexico who obey their teacher in school are rewarded by being allowed to smoke while they study. SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL. A I'AI'KR FORTIIKIIOMH CIIK'LK Cleveland and Hendricks, DiMilic Candidates FOR PRESIDENT AM) VICE rKESIE\T. Noted Men. Though ;in democratic America we have no titled rulers, yet nearly every man who has achieved distinction Jin any walk of life hits his sobriquet, by which he is more or less widely known. Especially in tips time of statesmen, politicians and soldiers. These sobriquets are usually applied in recognition of some great achieve ment or achievements,or else illustrate some personal characteristic of the re cipient. Some of these democratic titles are trivial; others are of importance and form an accepted portion of history and biography. To begin with let us mention him j that was 'first in war, first in peace.and first in the hearts of his countrymen,' George Washington, who is so justly called the 'Father of his Country.' It is well known that instead of this title he might have had that of king, had he chosen ; but his patriotism was of too high an order to listen to such a proposition. Posterity will honor him the more in his choice. Henry Clay, the man who 'had rath er be .right than he President,' was known as the 'Great Pacificator,' he cause of the compromise measures in troduced by him in Congress. These measures pacified the leaders of both fations, and serious difficulty was theieby averted. Daniel Webster has been called 'the Great Expounder of the Constitution,' and is now often referred to as 'the god like Daniel,'from his majestic presence. John C. Calhoun,the Southern states man, bore the sobriquet of 'the Great N nil i tier.' Thomas Jefferson was well styled 'the Sage ot Monticello.' He was a scholar, 'and a ripe and good one.'f John Adams, who died upon the same clay as Jefferson, and who was closely associ ate!! with him in the early days of the Republic, was a man of great capacity, hut personally and politically unpopu lar. He was called in derision by his neighbors 'the Cuke of Braintree,' from his cold and aristocratic manners. Andrew Jackson gained the title 'Old pickery,* from his toughness and obsti nance. Though obstinate and very tenacious of his opinions, he was a man of strict integrity and undoubted patri otism. John Quincy Adams, who served many years in the House of Represent atives after being President, was ap propriately called 'The Old Man Elo quent.' Stephen A. Douglas was known as the 'Little Giant.' William Henry Harrison was some times called 'Tippecanoe,' in recogni* tion of his victory at the battle of that name. Zachary 'Taylor was termed by his soldiers 'Old Rough and Ready.' The martyr Lincoln bore through life, and will even bear in history the sobrique of 'Honest Abe.' How well lie deserved it! Honesty, kindness and simplicity were the most prominent characteristics of the man whose memory the nation honors as that of one of her greatest statesmen and wisest rulers. General Grant has been styled 'The Silent Man,'and during the war was sometimes called 'Unconditional Sur render' Grant, the initials of these words being the same as those of his name. • General' A/arion, of Revolutionary fame, nuring his campaign in the South gained the name of 'The Swamp Fox.' General Anthony Wayne was called 'Mad Anthony,' necause of his bravery and impetuosity. The dashing cavalry commander, M ajor Henry Lee, became 'Light-Horse Harry.' During the late civil war the soldiers delighted to call General Joseph Hook er 'Fighting Joe,' while Gen.George 11. Thomas will ever be known as the 'Rock of Chickamauga.' The Confederate general, Thomas J. Jackson, bore a name gained in a some what similar manner. At the battle of Bull Run, Gen. Lee,one of the Confed erate army, while encouraging his men, pointed to Jackson, saying : ♦There stands Jackson, like a stone wall.' Ever after this he was known as Stonewall Jackson, many believing it to be his real name. /-fe" mil : \ " Wl wm Jf n** J& ssww^' -■ ■ -*&z M$ - * The Last Electoral Vote.; The electorial vote by states in 1880 was as follows : Garfield— Colorado, 3; Connecticut,G; California, 1; Illinois, 21; Indiana, 15 ; lowa, 11; Kansas, 5; Maine, 7; Massa chusetts, 13; Michigan, 11; Afiuuesota, 5; Nebraska,3; iSiew Hampshire,s; New York, 35; Ohio, 22; Oregon, 3; Pennsyl vania, 29; Rhode Island, 4; Vermont,s; Wisconsin, 10; total, 214. llaiwKk— Alabama, 10; Arkansas,6; California, 5; Delaware; 3; Florida, 4; Georgia, 11; Kentucky, 12; Louisiana,B; Maryland, 8; Missisippi, 8; Missouri,ls; Nevada, 3; New Jersey, 9; North Caro lina, 10; South Carolina, 7; Tennessee, 12; Texas, 8; Virginia, 11; West Arir gmia, 5; total, 155.

Statesmen's Wives. A Washington letter to the Louis ville Courier-Journal says : "It was in order to limit the space which loafers of a most objectionable character used daily to fill in the House gallery sever al years ago that the House of Repre sentatives decided to set apart certain poitions of the gallery to bo reserved for those who had cards of admission thereto, given them by the members. One gallery is exclusively for the fam ilies of Representatives, or those whom they and their wives regard as such. One Representative said, at the time it was decided to reserve this gallery, that it was djne so that the members could know exactly in what part of the gallery their wives were likely to be, so they would know which way to dodge if they whished to avoid their gaze. Some of ladies become much absorbed in watching the fate of the bills in which their husbands take an especial interest, and their faces show their chagrin or triumph in the course of the debate. One of them, whose husband had been suffering severely with bron chitis when he was forced to go to the house to look after a bill of great im portance in his district, used to go there daily while there was a prospect for the bill coming up, and carried a box of quinine pills, and regularly sent from her seat in the "members' gallery," an affectionate note and a dose of rned'cine to her husband on the floor of the house when the time came for him to take it. Thus she strove to brace him up for the contest in the same spirit as Spartan wives equipped their husbands for battle. The day his bill was voted down she had waited for several hours with satchel contain ing the pill box in hand, and as soon as the vote was announced, which was against her husband, she rose indig nantly,packed up the medicine and went home with lessened faith in its bracing effects. The wives, of course, do not fail to watch from the gallery the demeanor of their respectiye husbands iu their seats below, especially when cards are brought in to the latter. One lady will say to another : "There goes a card to your husband ; wonder if it is a la dy or a gentleman want 3 \to see him. There he goes out ; let's see how long he stays, and then we'll know whether it was a man or a woman. There he comes in again, so it must have been a man who was waiting for him ; he'd have stayed longer if it had been a wo man, certainly." While some of the incidents in this gallery are highly amusing, others are oftener very annoying. For instance, lately, a loving wife, who was listening intently to her husband's speech, heard a lady behind, who was evidently una ware of her presence, say : 'ls that Smith speaking again, now ? It seems to me he is always talking,and yet nev er has anything to say.' An all-night session of the United States House of Representatives, espec- ially when it is occasioned by a discus sion which requires either political part 3 to muster its full strength and causes a 'call of the house' to be ordered, and the sergeant-at-arms to be instructed Terms, SI.OO per Year, in Advance. to bring in absentees, and always has some 'tuberous features outside the hall, as well as some productive of an noyance to the families of members of I the bouse, as well as to themselves. I During such a night session, not long , ago, the wife of on.) of tho colored Rep resentatives was left alone in the mem bers gallery until a late hour, and all other occupants of t hat gallery having left at an early part of the night. She could not, go home alone, and her hus- I band,who was 011 the lloor of the house, was locked in so he could not leave to take her homo. It is the custom as soon as a call of tho house is ordered to lock all doors of exit or entrance to the legislative hall, not only to prevent those members who are within from getting away without permission of the house, but also to prevent those absent without leave getting in except in the custody of the sergeant-at-arms, who has been ordered to arrest them and bring them to make their excusesat the bar of the house. It was not until the colored representatives could succeed in obtaining the formal leave of the j house to go home with his wife [and he promised to return as soon he had done so] that he could join her in the gallery and accompany her to their residence. What He Was Paid For. I heard a very good anecdote from Chauncey Depew about ltutter, now president of the New York Central rail road. Commodore Vandcrhilt picked flutter up when lie was acting as freight agent on the Erie railroad. lie was paid SIO,OOO to go oyer to the Cen tral and take charge of their transpor tation business, llutter was a slim young fellow, with a ruddy face and a prematurely gray moustache, and he never got over being surprised with himself at his remarkahle growth ir. the railroad business. There came up a decidedly kuotty problem one day, not long after he took hold of the Cen tral business. Rutter did not know what to do, and so walked into the commodore's office and stated the c:ise to the old gentleman. Said the com modore : 'Jim, what does the railroad pay you V' ! 'Fifteen thousand a year, sir. 1 4 What for ?' 'For taking charge transporta tion business. 1 'Well, then, it wo pay you for that why do you come to me ? Do you want me to earn your salary for you V llutter took the hint. lie went right out,made a decision in the kuotty prob lem, realizing that if he wasn't com petent for the duties the company would make short work with him. and if he was competent it required difficult problems like that in question to show his competency. From that time un til he became president of the great corporat'on lie never asked anybody's advice about his action. lie did what he did shouldering the responsibility and expected to stand or fall by it. So it happens that this man is now presi dent of one of the greatest corporations in the world. A Square Boy. Two or three weeks ago a pedestrian who was passing a house on Riopelle street heard the sounds of a terrific struggle going on, and as lie locked in at the front door a boy about twelve years of ag**, who sat in the hall, qui etly obseaved : "It's only the old folks having a lit tle row, stranger." "Do they have 'era often V" asked the man. "Almost every day." "If I were in your place I'd stand at the door here and charge ten cents ad mission fee. It's worth the money to see a family riot like this, and you alight as well make a few dollars as to let the chances slip." The boy said be would think of it, and the pedestrian waited until the man had choked the woman as black as a plum and then passed on. Yester day he chanced that way again, and theie was auother row going on, and the same boy sat on the door-step. "I'll see the show," said the man, as he pulled out his wallet. "Has it pro fited you ?" "Stranger,l can't take your mouey," replied the lad. "Why ?" "Because I'm a square by. For a week or so eyery fight in there was as square as a dice and worth the price of admission, but as soon as a crowd be gan to come and the gate money began to run up to eighty or ninety cents, dad and mam began to hippodrome on the public. That blood on his nose was put there half an hour ago, and mam's black eye is three weeks old. They want me to stand in with them and deceive the public, but I cau't do it. Let the best man win or quit the business, is my motto. Pass on stran ger, for this is a put up job to gull the confiding public."— Detrort Free Press. / Thebonesand teeth ofsome unknown animal were lecently discovered near the Genesee river.
