Llmburger cheese, so beloved by the Germans, originated in Belgium. It is extraordinarily rich, being allowed to ripen to putrefaction; hence its horrifying odor in unaccustomed nostrils. Some persons have a saying, “Gorgonxola is a cheese to swear by, Llmburger to swear at.” Transparent Bodies. Perfectly transparent bodies are only visible by virtue of nonuniform Illumination, and in uniform illumination they become absolutely invisible. Blindfold. Nine persons out of ten would probably give the derivation of blind as coming directly from blind and fold from the practice of folding a cloth round the eyes, as in the game of blind man's buff. The word has. however. nothing to do with fold, but means felled or struck blind and might be written blladfelled. Old Tima Cowboys. In the Revolutionary war the "cowboys’* were a set of Tories in Westchester county. N. Y.. popularly so called because of the brutal roughness with which they treated tbetr Whig or rebel neighbors.

They fixed the solar year at 365 days 6 hours, comprising, as they thought, the period from one vernal equinox to another. The six hours were set aside and at the end of four years, forming a day. the fourth year was made to consist of 366 days.

The spacious lawn of the ' Kennedy home was the scene of the 1 festivities in the early part of the •day, and it was there that Mr. Kennedy, who is now able to walk about, greeted the thirty-two or more who responded to the call. All mingled socially during the afternoon and enjoyed the reunion to the utmost. In the meantime, preparations for the excellent dinner which was served at 6 ’o'clock, were going on in the house. I The dining room was tastefully deco--1 rated with flags, and the long table,’ which was extended to accommodate nearly all at one sitting, was also .tastefully decorated.

Among thoso on the outside, one young man went so far as to throw a beer bottle through the window, an act which in is said was copied by the others. The next morning the officials came to town and the filing of the affidavits is the result, the county officers being sent out in that district today, serving the warrants. There are nine arrests, fourteen witnesses, and the usual bunch of spectators to be handled and today the ’squire is making arrangements to hold the session in the circuit court room. It will be quite lengthy, necessitating the examination of the fourteen witnesses in each case, and if any fight the case, and argument by the attorneys, in all probability the case will take the entire day. It is hard to find a reason for anyone to so far forget themselves as to disturb a meeting of any kind, there being nothing gentlemanly or ladylike in the action, and no advantage (o be gained. However, we will probably be favored with several brand new reasons tomorrow.

The festivities took place in the large sitting room of the Hensley residence, which was tastefully decorated for the occasion and the whole affair was presided over by "Heck," who acted both the part of host and chci. Mr. Hensley, anticipating that the wants of his guests would be frequent and many, thoughtfully provided himself with a pair of roller skates, w hieii he donned, and the sight was n beautiful one, long to be remembered bv all present, as Mr. Hensley's sylpn and bird-like form would gracefully glide from room to room, deftly ba anting in each hand huge plattets of tood that was fit for the gods, and aa his graceful and lithe body would flit from guest to guest, every move was a picture for a painter. The menu was excellent and was as follows: (By one who was there.) Thursday mgnt w«o t.'.o occasion of another meeting and banquet of the Coon Skin club, in compliment to two out-of-town guests, John R. Kirkpat rick, of Newark, N. J., and M. 11.

Among the distinguished guests present were Tom Reed, who represents the Waring Glove company of this city, who has kindlj consented to supply the members witi white gloves, emblematic of the club's innocence and purity: George Flanders. who donated some of the prod ucts of the firm he represents: Prosecutor R. C. Parrish, who has conceded to be very lenient should any of the club's members become entangled in the law's meshes: John R. Kirkpatrick of Newark, N.

Mr. Hensley took advantage of his wife’s good nature and held the affair at his residence, knowing full well that he had Mrs. Hensley's sanction lor so doing, but if she could have seen the room after the gab-fest was concluded, which resembled a shipwreck, a divorce in high life would lie the result. The merriment kept up ’ until a late hour and when it did terminate, every one present declared they had the time of their lives. I ' ~ A FREAKISH CARD. ' W. D. Walters received a postal card from a friend, R. A. Mason of Chicago Junction, Ohio, who is a telegrapher, and a former working partner of Mr. Walters, of this city. The pos tai is something on the freakish order, it having 629 words, and all being legible. The reading was very fine, but as plain as though it had been 'much larger, written with sufficient space allowed, making it neat also. ' Mr. Walters counted them over twice 'to ascertain the number and he stat'ed it contained just the number men tioned. I _____ _ ■ STILL HAS WANDER LUST. I' .w ■—.
