Corydou Republican : A good joke ia told on a good brother residing in a township north of Harrison. This brother is a member of the church, and, by the way,- very bitter Democrat. He -wanted a Democratic preacher placed on his circuit, and report has it that he wrote to the Bishop presiding at the recent annual conference of our brother's church, asking that circuit be supplied with a Democratic preacher. The Bishop read the letter carefully, and it is said sat down and answered it substantially as follows: "Dear Brother : Your favor received- Impossible to comply with your request, as the Lord very rarely calls a Democrat to preach." The brother is indignant m The financial situation of the
State of Illinois is of a character to furnish most pleasing reflections to the taxpayers of Suckerdom. In the first place, all the outstanding bonds of the State, amounting to about 250,000, have been called m for redemption, and the money is in the treasury to pay them. In a short time the State will be without any debt whatever. But better even than tbis the future expenses of the State government are provided for without taxation. When the Illinois Central railroad was chartered, a provision was incorporated in the charter that the company should pay 7 per cent, of its gross earnings into the State
treasury.
Salmon fishing on the Columbia Iliver, Oregon, is very dangerous, owing to certain tidal peculiarities Two hundred men at least are reported as lost during the past season. Over eight hundred boats are employed y the canning companies, and over a thousand men at the canneries. Congressman Weaver says that he is ordinarily a very mild tempered man, but that somehow his passions got the better of him during that memorable Tuesday's session. But then it is always hard work for the average Greenbacker to keep his temper during a financial discussion, and a bill that contemplates the issuing of bonds is peculiarly exasperating. At the end -of last Jane, 250,S03 names were on the roll of the Pension Bureau. The Commissioner estimates that 50,000,000 will be required to pay pensions for the current vear.
William H. English pays tax on property located in Indianapolis valued at 625,315. He is the largest taxpayer in that city. Seymour Times: Yon needn't try to love your enemies. The lord can't be fooled. He knows you lie right aloug when you say yon love those who treat you meanly.

We repeat that we don't want subscribers on these terms. A man's county paper is worth the world, or if it is not it is his fault. If the county paper is properly encouraged it may be relied upon for information of more value to the people in whose interest it is issued than can be found in all the city papers in the United States. No man can afford to be without the paper that famishes the official advertisements of his county, the public sales, markets, court news, and other local intelligence. If the paper is poor the people are more at fault than the publishers, for not giving it a liberal patronage. However poor the county paper may be, it is always worth more than it costs to those interested in the affairs of the
county.
The January issue of St. Nicholas, "the New Year's number," published on Tuesday, December 28th. gives the young people time to forget a little the glories of "the wonderful Christ mas number." Among the contents are several capital things which were crowded out of December. " Bright Eyes," the young Indian girl, makes, her first contribution to literature in a charming story of Indian child-life. There is an account of ki The Children's Fall Brigade," another of the novel entertainments for children's festivals which have been suggested in the pages of St.' Nicholas; "Every Boy His Own Ice-Boat," describing a splendid new sport for all skaters; the first cf Mrs. Clara Erskine Clement's " Stories of Art and Artists," which are to be one of the special features of St. Nicholas during the coming year ; one of Frank K. Stock tons funniest fairy stories, a poem by II. H. Boyesen, pictures grave and gay, continuations of the serials, etc., etc. The issue rivals the Christmas number in pd things.
A Particular Widower. He was a solemn looking chap from White Hall, with an odd mixture of sorrow and resignation on his lean countenance, and he startled the editor with the mysterious whisper of " She's gone." " Who's gone? " asked the editor. " Mariar." " Who in thunder's Maria?" " My wife; she's gone." "Gone where?" "Up above died last night want you to put it in your next issue." .""What ailed her?" "Lockjaw. She lay for three weeks and couldn't speak ; never had such a quiet time in the house before. .Just do the notice up. fine, an I'll see that everything is fixed up all right." Accordingly the editor scribbled away a moment, handed out what he had written for inspection, and curtly remarked : "Dollar thirty-five." The bereaved husband read it over carefully, and finally gave a sigh of satisfaction. " That's all right," he said, handing over the required specie, " bi$! s'pose you could put a yrse on the end, conldn't you?" "Well, yes," replied the editor, "guess so. What kind of a verse do you want?" " Somethin' tender-like and sorrowful." "How would this do?" asked the editor, scratching his head with the end of his penholder: A perfect female folks did consider her, She's gone and left a wecpin' widower. "That's kinder melancholy," reflected the stranger, " but I reckon it's a leetle jest a leetle too personal. Just you try it again. I don't mind puttin' up hansum for suznthnn' that'll rake folks' heart strings." The editor gazed at the ceiling for a moment and then suggested : The busland'a lost a wife, Tlte children ma. Died ox. -Friday night, From the lockjaw. " es," broke out the mourner, wiping his uc se with a black bordered handkerchief, " but you see I don't own any young uns." " What do you think of this then ? " She always was contented, At life she'd never carp, Gone to be an angel And play on a golden harp. " Don't believe that'll suit. You see Mariar couldn't even play on a pianner, an' I know a harp would stump her, sure. Poor woman!
she had a tender heart, though and made the most elegant biscuit you ever saw." "Hanged if I won't have to charge you extra," growled the editor. " I ain't a Longfellow or a Tennyson." "I kr2" meekly replied the " Yepin'f ;'Iower." " Jest try once mor , Vt you ? " So the editor did try, and at last ground out the following : On earth could not stay Mariar, So she died and went up higher. "Sorter irreverent, ain't it?" anxiously asked Maria's relict. " I reckon I wouldn't grudge a couple of dollars for a bang up verse." Thus stimulated, the machine poet became suddenly inspired, and exultingly produced: Cry. for Maria I - A3is ! she is no more

The afflicted one uneasily took a chew of tobacco, and whispered :
. " Beautiful ; but there's one thing
that spiles it. Manar hadn't any

" Well,-" tnouhtfully- remarked the cKscb'm fitted editor, "if this ain't ali O.

"Tell you what," enthusiastically exclaimed the widower, " that's tip top. Here's your two dollars; you've airnt them. A man that can make up such afiectin' lines as them, has got a glorious future before him ! " And squeezing the exhausted poet's hand, the elated speaker left the office, after inquiring for Wicks1 Bee Hive store, stating that he desired to purchase a pair of black kid gloves, in memory of Mariar. Old Time Winters. At a meeting of the "Old Residents of Western Pennsylvania," at Pittsburg, last week, the President of the organization read a paper on old time winters, from which it oppears that the severe cold that forged fetters for the waters of our bays and rivers, as well as those of the western end of Long Island Sound, extended pretty generally over the country north of latitude 35. The winter of 1779-80 was the hardest ever known in the Ohio Valley. It was called the " winter of the deep snow." " The beautiful" was from six to nine feet in depth in December and the drifts eighteen to twenty. About Christmas a heavy rain fell and a thick crust was formed on the snow, strong enough to bear up horses and sleighs. The " Annals of the West" show that the winter was almost as severe in Kentucky as in Western Pennsylvania. Several thousand families had rushed to Kentucky the summer previous,
.marvelous reports of the fertility ol
the soil inducing them to go hither. When the severe winter set in, starvation siarrd the emigrants in (lie
face, and they had to sacrifice all their live stock to sustain life. The hardest winter within the recollection of the writer was that of 18312, the year of the big flood. In December and January snow covered the ground there to the depth of- four feet. This melted in February and swelled the rivers, the water being thirty-two feet in that city, forty-four feet at Wheeling, and sixty-three feet at Cincinnati. Fitting emblems are not al
ways appreciated. The neighbors of a poor fellow who died erected a tombstone to his memory, and had placed above it the traditional white dove. The widow looked at it through her tears and said : " It was very thoughtful to put it there. John was very fond of gunning, and it is an especially suitable emblem."
The Republicans will have a majority of one in the next House of Representatives, without any of the Greenbackers, and with a Democrat chosen to fill the vacancy frouNew Hampshire. California's Climate. From B.F; Taylor's "Between the Gates." The climate of the coast stimulates men and women like wine. It gives them eourage that is not Dutch but weather, and confidence that is not conceit but intoxication. It quickens the pulse and the step and the brain. It Bends them wild for pleasurable excitement. It strengthens the passions. It keeps everybody under whip and spur. It makes him impatient of patience. You live ten years in five. A man who has reached his law of limitation can migrate to California, and flash up brilliantly a little longer. Boys and girls are born with percussion caps on. Touch them and they explode. They ripen early,, in this sun and tonic air, into manhood and ' womanhood. You can see mothers of 14, and see no marvel. About 40,000 pupils are enrolled in the fifty-six public schools of San Francisco, and 7,000 in the 129 private schools and colleges. It is about as difficult to govern the young California as it is to catch up a globule of quicksilver from a marble table. Is it a boy ? He shouts, runs, leaps, struggles, just as his pulse beats, because he cannot stop it. He has opinions, though his bsard is a peach down. He is as positive as a triphammer. Is it a girl? She is as volatile as cologne, her voice is as joyous, her step a dancer's, her
laugh contagious. She is as dashing as a yacht in a white-cap breeze. m m Sleight of Lip In Pittsburg. The Burlington Hawkeye man writes from the city of suowflake: Did you ever see a Pittsburger get a flake of soot off his face? He never rubs it. To' rub off a flake of soot discloses the stranger. It also leaves a streak of black, half an inch wide, in place of the flake of soot as big as a three cent piece. This is not an improvement. The Pittsburger to the manor born blows it off. He is an adept in the art. If the flake nestles on his
nose, he protrudes bis under lip,
gives one vigorous whiff, and the obnoxious Pittsburg snowflake
leaves his face without a mark. If
it lights on either cheek, the mouth is puckered and stretched around in the direction of the smut, with the unerring accuracy of a garden hoe. It is astonishing what almost inaccessible portions of the face and head cau be reached by a native burgher in this way. I have seen
tone who could puff a black flake
off the back of his neck. Sometimes the beauty spot will nestle close in behind the left ear, where it is apparantly secure from a blow as a calm center. But the native simply gives it a puff clear around his head, from left to right ; the current passes over the left ear, caroms on the right, and comes back and picks up the wanderer and blows him away. They puff these sable flakes in any position as easily as a weekly paper puffs the summer circus. m ,i m

Philput, preacher. The pastors have felt justified in suggesting the foregoing subject? rather than those named by the Evangelical Alliance, for the reason that being heartily united in the desire for a special outpouring of the Spirit upon their own churches and people, it has seemed to them best to unite all their energies and prayers for this one community and object. They earnestly desire that the subject ;named for each day, may have thought, not only during the hours of public prayer or service, but during the whole day. It is also their suggestion to their brethren, that the afternoon meeting be given wholly to earnest prayer and supplication. -The evening services are intended for preaching and exhortation. These union services are not to interfere with any special services, any congregation may have heretofore, or mav hereafter arrange for itself, but
most earnestly to inquire ut the mouth of the Lord, whether the time is not upon us, when He will graciously bless us as a community. These meetings, it is hoped, will bring first, a great spiritual blessing to our churches, aud thorugh their quickening, afterward to many unconverted. By order of the Preachers meeting, W. P.

Blunt bnl True, There is said to be a young man In the Missouri penitentiary whose parents at their death left him a fortune of $50,000. There is where his parents made a fatal mistake. If they had taken the precaution to invest that sum In a small dog and shoot him, and then had simply loft the young man a jack-plane or a wood saw, with printed instructions how to use it, the chances are that, instead of being in the penitentiary, he would to-day have been gradually but surely working his way up to a handsome an honorable old age. But ever sinee tho days of Adam and Eve, parents have made it a point to toil and struggle all their lives in order to realize a sufficient sum of money to purchase, when they are dead and gone, their sons each a first class through ticket to the devil, and it is not so much to be wondered at that so many of their sous, reared in vice and idleness, as too many of them are, have no higher ambition than to invest their inheritance la Juat that sort of transportation.
AC. Pierre has communicated to Trench Academy of Science a strange temporary result of brain fever. While he was convalescent he was engaged one day reading, and he found that the letters appeared sunk for some distance into tiie paper, and soon fatigued the eye. Aft'er ten days of suffering from this inconvenience the eye resumed its normal power, and the printed characters again occupied the usual position on the surface of the paper,
A Composer's. KccontrlclUe. - The correspondents, are admonishing Americana that liichard "Wagner ia something of a a well, he buys things and doesn't pay for them. And a funny story about this foible of his is told in a selection from his correspondence, just published in Vienna, being sixteen letters to a mantua-makerl Not loveletters Frau Cosima has no occasion for jealousy but it seems that, in his passion for satin dressing-gowns and things, he became indebted to Fraulein Bertha, and, as she couldn't get her pay from him, ahe takes this means to get it out of his correspondence, which is said to be quite different in style from the Kibelung dramas. It appears that Wagner ordered $10,000 worth of satin in four years, in one letter calling for 250 ells of satin, four satin dressing gowns and three satin bed-quilts. When strangers visit him they are shown into a room hung with gray satin from ceiling to floor and all the furniture covered with the same. When the host himself appears, he wears a mediaeval cap of gray satin, an immense cloak of gray satin, short breeches of gray satin, gray silk stockings and gray silk bottines with oxydized silver buckles. If the visitor makes a favorable impression, the host begs his guest to enter a room hung with rose g.atin, and to excuse his momentary absence. He soon returns clad in rose satin from head to foot. 8uch are the stories now ourrent, from which it will bo seen that inspiration hi no cheap commodity with Wagner.

WHY DOES a woman's health break down at an early age ? Put a man at the wash tab, let him get heated from the hot suds un til every pore is opened, and then stand over the filthy steam from Scalding and Boiling clothes that are full of sweat and exhalations from the skin, and his health would certainly break down befere lonfc; and yet this terrible ordeal is exactly what A WOMAN has to go through on wash-day ; and besides while wet from perspiring at the hot work, she has to risk her life by going out in the air to hang up the clothes. Even those not at the work are in the unhealthy atmosphere, its smell showing that it finds its way through the house:
ihe family, however, often becoming accustomed to the peculiar odor
from its own wash as not to notice it. Ihese faets which are all known to be true, readily explain why so many women are suffering from Colds, Asthma, Rheumatism, "Weak Nerves or Neuralgia, and
while vet young in years, and Physicians and Boards of Health cannot
draw attention too strongly to the injurious effects of the usual way of
washing with its necessary Steam and Scalding or Boiling to get the
clothes pure and sweet smelling, especially as it is often the direct cause
oi these dreadful diseases, Diphtheria, -Consumption and Typhoid le
ver. Fortunately this trouble can be avoided : Scalding, Boiling and
Seam done away with ; Clothes made sweet a,nd beautifully white; the wash done at a much less cost than even lohen home-made Soap is v&ed on account of the saving in fuel, and very much
SOOMER
by the old way, by using FraKk Siddalis Soat: A Soap that is so purifyingand cleansing that the dirtiest clothing can be washed in lukewarm water with a very little rubbing, and clothes, bedding and utensils used by the sick, disinfected and cleansed without either Scalding or Boiling; while the work is so light that a girl of 12 or 13 can do a large wash without being tired; and yet so Mild and Healing is this Soap, that for Toilet and Shaving, it has no equal, and Physicians advise its use in preference to Imported Castile Soap on wounds and sores, and to wash the youngest Infants, or persons with very delicate skin. Now that there is a remedy for this " great washday evil," so economical in its use, as even to be within the reach of the poorest, there is not a woman or
who is not directly interested in having at once introduced in their homes, that wonderful way of washing clothes, which does away with the hard work, Offensive Smell and Fearful Steam on washdays, and makes the White Pieces Whiter, Colored Pieces Brighter, and Flannels Softer than they can be made by washing the old way, and also leaves every article aa Clean, as Sweet and as Pure as if never worn. Frank Siddall's Soap will keep the Dish-cloth and House-cloth. Sweet and Clean, and leave the hands soft and smooth, 100 will positively be forfeited if it injures the fabric. Sold only byDunn & Co.

Natural and Artificial. Of these a correspondent of tbe Conn try Gentleman writes: "It ia probable that the manurial value of moat concentrated fertilizers has beeA' over-es timnted. They are asoal'ly put in com parison a? contrast with stable manure, and their valuo estimated by their effect on a single crop; but this is not ti fair test for tbe stable Kianure. The concentrated fertilizer is airways placed in close contact with seeds or roots, and has been so treated with sulphuric acid that most of its fertilizing elements are
at once available The stable manure is usually spread broadcast, then plowed under, and the greater part of its value
often remains for future crops. I am
not arguing against commercial fertil
izers. We all oufrht to use them, but
it Is well enough to do it understand
ing. I have seen two hundred pounds of super-phosphate drilled in with wheat bring a better crop than fifteen loads of stable manure. The farmer who does
this is inexcusible if he does not use
the super-phosphate iu his wheat. But
he need not decry stable manure as of too little value to be worth noticing aa
compared with phosphate. In the same season, and in nearly adjoining fields,
the super-phosphate sown broadcast,
after the wheat was drilled in, produced
so little effect that it was hard to tell
where it was missed. Evidently the
main effect of concentrated fertilizers
ln the first Instance was to give the wheat a start" A few puffs from a cigar or pipe, or a smoking lamp, will scent all the milk in a room. What then must be the effect of keeping milk in a room where the air is constantly saturated with foul vapors? Di J. W. Ox-aiti,
