"Well," Said a mnn to m friend,
"I'vo made up ray mind whero I shall

"Ah whore V eagerly asked" his
friend.
"At homo 1" replied the other, pat

Then the friond acknowledged that
"circumstances had also caused him
to decide upon patronizing the same

to confess it."
John Morrissey, tho New York prizo

Louis Convention, and John C. Jacobs
of New York, . notorious protege of
' Tweed, was prompter of the temporary
Chairman in addressing the convention
and in making the rulings which
shaped its permanent organization.
Tho conjunction is a very instructive
one.
Human nature is indeed a curious
etudy. A boy may ising "Hold the
Fort" bo sweetly on Sunday that the
very walls of Zion tingle with the
pacred melody, and yet you wouldn't
recognize him on week days when he
comes tilt from swimming and finds
out tkat some other boy has hopeless

trowsor legs.
A practical rural lady, attired in a
black bombazine dress and an over
grown bonnet, gave vent to her aston
r ishment, when looking . at the laces
displayed by Belgium, by exclaiming:
"Five hundred dollars for one little
handkercher like that I Why, one
good blow would send it all to tat

Gen. Sherman said, at a recent ar
. my ; reunion, that he would rather
march six times from Atlanta to the
sea than encounter once the unspeaka
ble horrors of a campaign against the
savages on the frontier. The full force
of his remarks are now appreciated.
The use of the editorial "we" pro

the following remark in - the Paris,

. In his last illness his physician re
marked in the morning that he seem

answered : "That is rather surprising,
as I have been practicing all night."
"Does your Bister Annie over say
anything about me, 6issy ?" asked an
. anxious lover of a little girl. "Yes,"
was the Teply, "she said if you had

en oh nice cradle for my doll."
A country girl coming from a morn

Foster, who was executed at War

wasn't quite ready to die, but if it

go ahead and hang him. They went
ahead.
Mr. Corliss, manufacturer and own

take it away if the Exhibition was
opened on Sunday. And the big eu-
fine works all the machinery in the
all.
, , "No, sir," Baid a weary looking man
cn a street car to an individual by
his side. "I wouldn't marry tho best

"Mike, and is it yerself that can bo

Ilelmbold went insane, and now

Never give a beggar a coin without

The following is an extract from a de
scription of Vinelaud, published in the
New York Tribune, bv tho well-kuowu
Agriculturist, Solon Robinson :
All tho formers were of tho "well to do"
sort, and somo of them, who have turned
their attontiou to fruits and market gard
ening, havo grown rk-h. Tho soil is loam,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulating, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows in
which deposts of peat or muck aro stored,
Buflicient to fertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has boon exhausted of its
natural fertility.
It is certainly ono of the most .extensive
fortilo tracts, in an almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant form,
ing, that wo know of this side of the West
ern prairies. Wo found some of tho old
est forms apparently just as profitably
productive us when hrst cleared of forest
hfty or a hundred years ago.
Tho geologist would soon discover the
cause of this continued fertility. Tho
whole country is a marine deposit, and all
through tho soil wo found ev idences of
calcareous substances, generally in the
form of indurated calcareous marl, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
ol tho tertiary formation ; and this marly
substance is scattered all through the soil,
in a cry comminuted firm, and-in tho
