A Number of Odd Thlnga That Have Happened ICrreutl.v. Ati:-iie to one ot the Theatrical Companies tit at traveling in this country U a small elephant. A lew days 50 th 'jCompany pn-s ;J westward over tho Pennsylvania Kailruad, and tho elephant occupied a car by himself. On account of tin extremely cold weather, a fctove was kept ut red heat in the elephant's car, und once when the keeper entered he opened the stove-door to throw in some coal. Carried away by hU curiosity, the elephant thrust his trunk into the stove and sei.ed one of the red reale. Ho held on to the coil about one-half eeond, and then throwing it on tho floor, ho begun such a wild war-dance as the keeper never saw betöre. Howling with pain, he picked up bündle, boxe, and everything that wan within hU reach, and towed them helterskelter into the corners of the car. The keeper got behind some heavy baggage, and called for help. A brakeman on the outside of the cur heard him, ttopped the train, and asked what was the matter. Mean while the At coal had set som? pan-ir on fire, and the car, wi:h its occupants, was in great danger of dest.-uclicn until several buckots of water had been brought in. After awhile the elephant qu'e'.ed do wn,;but he plainly ehowed ft dislike for the keeper, squirting water at him whenever he eoul J get chance. Since then nothing can induce the elephant to put his head near a stove. An amusing scene was witnessed recently by an American gentleman who was visit ine a Hindoo villa, ia India. It was nothing more or lesa than a monkey family making its toilet in the morning. The fam ily, which consisted of the two rowa monkeys and three young ones, had passed tho night in a large tree near a Hindoo hou?e. The heat had caused the gentleman to rise early, and when the monkeys came yawning down the tree, one alter the other, ho waa sitting by an open window watching the un appear in the east. The mothermonkey rubbed her eyes and washed in a little stream near tho roots of the tree. Then shi seized one of her children by the tail and dragged it into the etreaai, tho tri ' l ' young monkey nieanwniie irying us Desi w get away, and chattering constantly. After it had received two or three boxes on the ears it became quiet, and then the mother monkey washed ita lace, paked her fingers into its tars, smoothed ita hair with her toes and let it go. She served the other two cnildren in the same wayjCufiingthem when they refused to keep quiet, it waa very plain that the little monkeys thought the ace-washing entirely unnecessary, and they showed that they were happy when it was over with. George "W. Townsend, ot Boston, ha3 been a deep sea diver for more than twenty years. Ia relatiug his experiences tho other day, he said that no one had any idea of the lifo of 3sh until he sees them under water. They are very curious, and sometimes very playful. Once when he was divfcicr in ths liav of Camana. on the coa3t of Venezuela, a huge monster kept eyeing him j jntil he shook from fright. Oa another oc- J asion. in the est Indies, an electric eel ran Vtetween his legs and cave him such a ihock that he thought he should never be able to reach the surface alive. The noise made, by a school of fish Bounds under the water like the rumbling of thunder. As a general thing shark are cowardly and are easily frightened otf, but a surface-fish, called tb baricoat, that is sometimes encountered, will a'atuck a diver with great fary. Once a baricoat seized ilr. Townsend'? helmet in its iaws; but as tho helmet was mado of copp-.'r he Buffered no harm. The lish left the imprint of ita teeth in the helmet, however, and had it attacked the driver's feet undoubtedly would have bitten them oil'. A 5ft. L mis paper gives an interesting accou'ii of how some boys ia that city amused themselves a few weeks ago. Near the St. Louis Park are several openjlots, which during the w ole of January were covered with thick snow. On these lots one party of boys buili a "snow fort," and another party shoveled together several banks of snow, and sent a challenge to the "soldiers" of the fort to fight a battle. The forts were 100 yards part, and to each fort belonged twenty or thirty boys. Light snow-balls can n"t be thrown 100 yards, except by a very- stroi g boy, and so it was necessary for one party to try to storm tno fort of the other party in order tobring on the battle. One Saturday afternoon the challengers moved out in line, and approached to within ten yards o: their enemy's fortifications, when they were received with volley after volley of balls. As the assailing line drew nearer the combat thickened, and more than one lad had his ears, eyes and nostrils filled with snow. The fort was captured, but the vanqu'.sael flew over to the othertort, and from that it wa3 impossible to dislodgo them. Several battles were fought, and so much ill-feeling at last arose that the policemen had to step the fport and make the hoys shovel down. their intrenchments. Near London, there used to live a man who not only made a good living by raising peas, but who also was able to accumulate considerable money. It became known to his neighbors that tl e pea-seller had a box of money concealed somewhere about his frem:ses, and after a while the fact waa earned by a robber. One night the peaseller' wife heard some one in the house. Bhe suspected that the intruder was after the box of money, and knowing by the noise that be was near the bed, she said in an ordinary voles, to her husband, at the same

time nudging him: T)iJ you put t money in the tree, ia the yardT" The pea seller, who waa quick-witted, said: "Yes;" though at the moment ho dicin't know what his wife meant by such a question. The robber board tho question, and waiting until he thought hu victims asleep, went into the yard and climbed tho tree. Now there wai a hornet's nct, shaped like a round box in the crutch of the tree, and the robber soon found the nest. As soon as ho shook it tho hornets, disturbed of their rest, flew out and attacked the robber with great fury, inflicting a hundred painful stings. The robber yelled in pain, and several people came running to find out what was the matter. The robber was given into tho hands of officers and taken to prison. The Htory of tho Spider-Wet. it. W. Lowrie. To me, the web of tho spilcr is truly a study, and I learn many things from it. Kirst, I note tbo patience of the little spidor in spinning his delicate threads. What a model of too virtue ho ist lie is far from being pretty, but his work and his virtuo of patienco arp beautiful, surely. Then I think of the skill the fellow has. And another thing I learn from ugly Mr. Spider U, that patienco wius. I never saw a .pider (and I' vo been acquainted with a good many of them, and liko to watch the morose-looking specimens) who didn't catch something nie in his trap before he gave up. "Oo to the ant, thou sluggard," and ''(lo to the spider, thou impatient," ought to go baud In hand, as proverbs. And another thing. You may say what you please, but gentleness tells. Who ever saw a rough, burly spider? Spiders know that they can catch moro flies with soft, delicate meshes than in rough ways. A spider might spit at the flies and chase them, and got all his family at work shouting after them, and never catch a fly in tho world. But he is geutle, and seems tc know the old proverb, that you can catch more 2ic with sugar than with vinegar. Hut see the way ho sits at the center of his web-work, and feels out, as it were, all along tho win", to tho very extremity of his meshes, that sparkle in tho sunshine. Every thread U like 01.0 of its own nerves. I think all this is liko the human heart. The threads are our tttTections. Touch our feelings, and the heart at the center feels it in a moment. Let us try and keep our fooling soft and tender. Let conscience respond to the slightest touch. Wo sit, as it wero, in the midst of a delicate network of thought and affection. Let U9 be lender of the feelings of

each other. The heart leela the slightest touch that is laid even on the most distant part of the vast and intricate network of which it is the centre. A Story About Iudia. Here is Johnuv'a comjHjsition on 'Animals:" The dog 13 the King of Rcast, buUnakes is more like eels. One time in Indy there was a man had to travel a long journey on foot, and so he hired a 6!iake-charmer to protect him, cos the snakes there is a mighty bad lot. So the man and the charmer they started, and after they bad gone 'hout a mile the charmer he stopt ahd said: 'I guess it's about time for me to begin a earning my money.'' So he took a floot out of his clo-M' and begun to play a tune, and pretty soon some snakes crawld out of the grass for to see what was up. And bineby some more come and stood around too, till after a while thero was 'bout a thousan'" hundred big pizen snakes all around 'era, and the man wa frightened 'most to death. Then the charmer put away his floot and said: ''You can't find no fault with such charmin' a3 that, I guewi, can you? Now if you are ready to go on jest gather a club and wade in, and if we are so fortunate as to get through we will come pretty soon to a jungle where you can hire a cousin of mine which can charm lions and taggers."

Harry?" 4lOh, jousep, my grandmother's deaf, and I'm writing a loud letter to hert" What is tho meaning of back-biter?" asked a gentleman at a Sunday-school examination. This was a puzzler. It went down tho class until it came to a simple urchin, who said, "Perhaps it is a flea." A little fellow, about ten year of ago was reciting his catechism. Teacher 'Of what was Adam made?" "Willie ''Of the dust of the earth." Teacher K)f what was Eve made?" "Willie "Of one of Adam's ribbous. "lont you wisö you wa3 a big man?" said one little urchin to another. 4,lv rect I do. I'm just dyin to be big enuS to git shaved an' have ono 'em barbers powder me all over and s-mirt cologne juice at me, " was the reply. A youth refused to take a pill. His crafty mother thereupon placed the pill in a preserved peach and gave it to him. Presently she akcd: 4,Tom, have you eaten the peach?" He replied:. "Yes, mother, all but the seed. ...... "Little baby is very ill, Charley; I am afraid he will die." "Weli, if he doeS die, mamma, he won't go to the bad place." "Why, Charley, how can you know that?" "Oh, "l know he can't mamma; he's got no teeth to gnash." A certain gentleman recently lost his wife, and a young miss of six years, who came to the funeral, said to his little daughter about the same age: 'Your pa will marry again, won't he?" "Oh, yes I" waa the reply; "but not until after the funeral." Teacher Now, Mary, my dear, suppose I were to thoot at a tree with five birds on it, and kill three, how many would be left? Mary Three, ma'am. Teacher-No; twj would be left. Mary No, there wouldn't, though. The three shot would be left and the other two would be flied away. There, Georgie," 6aid the boy's father, "dou't repeat that again: you've told it once and once is enough." George stopped in the midst of his story, as in duty bound, but he was heard to mutter something about hearing father tell the same 6tory lots and lots of times. Strange that children should wish to usurp the privilege of their elders! Boston Transcript. There Is a Judge in Galveton whose head is as bald as that of an American eagle. A little boy living next door has it got into his head that lack of hair, is inseparably connected with the title of Judge; consequently when a lawyer, "whose, head is densely covered with hair, called, and was

addressed as "Judge," little Tommy shook his head and said: "You ain't no Judge. Can't fool me." "Why am I no Judge?" Cos yer hair ain't parted enough," was the guileless reply. Galveston News. Tommy returned from school the other day in a täte of great excitement. " What do you think, papa?" said Tommy; "Joe Stewart, one of the big boys, had an arguraentwith the teacher about a question in grammar." "What position did Joe take?" asked papa. ''His last position was across a chair with his face down." A littta girl was devoutly saying her prayers before going to bed, when her little brother crept up behind her and pulled her hair. She interrupted her prayer, saying: "Will God please excus'o me a little instant ju.t lone enough to give my brother a slap." Taking assent for granted, the slap was given aad the prayer resumed. ASTIIIKIMG KXI'EKIENCE,

An Apparently Authentic Case of Premonition. fSalem (Maua. ) Gar.ette.J Here is a true story, which contains tome interesting features: Last Friday morning the 9:"0 train was on its way from Salem to Bobton at full speed. A man occupied a leflb.tnd seat near thecentir of the car, next to the window. He was, of courxe, on that side of the car that would bo nearest t any train that might pa.s on the other true:. As he sat there, this speculation, wisfeout any particular cause, entered his head: Suppose a freight train should pass and a piece of lumber should break away from its moorings, and so far project out as to come tear ing along the side of the passenger train. How man passengers between the center and rear end of the car would have presence of mind snfflcient to jump out of the way on receiving the warning of the first collision at the front end of the car? It was not a thought inspired by fear or nervousness, but simply one of those- speculations that will enter a man's mind in a moment of idleness, when he is gliding along in comfort on a railroad car. The thought passed away and the man took up his newspaper and be gan to read with a lpind at case. No more than live minutes elapsed, and possibly not three, when a thump and crash were heard which challenged tho attention of every person in the car, and justified the stopping of the train for a moment to tee w hat had happened. It was found that something from a passing freight train had struck the pasengercar at exactly the point where the man was sitting who had been indulg ing in hu speculation about that kind of an accident! The window where he was sitting w t3 smashed in, a hole was stove in the side of the car so that outside daylight could come in, the iron-work which supports the peat at the side of the car was wrenched from its place and broken and a piece of wood perhaps two feet in length, five inches in breadth, and half an inch thick or more, from the passing train, was hurled into the car either through the window or otherwise, and fell at the man's feet. In fact, there was a wreck right at the point where the man was sitting, and his coat was covered with splinters and broken gla?8. But, notwithstanding all this, he did not experience even a scratch, and so quickly was the whole thing done that he is not even conscious of experiencing any more of a shock than any other passenger in the train, or, in fact, of any shock whatever beyound the noise of tho crash. It was really a marvelous escape, and very strange in view of the passing thought that had onterod the per&n's mind a few moments nrevionslv. The man allud ed to was the writer of this paragraph, who was at lirst inc lined to laugh and joke about the affair with the other passengers, but who, on more deliberate thought, was inclined to think the circumstances were sufficiently remarkable to justify this little narrative, not by way of fostering superstitious tendencies, which need no special cultivation ia the human mind, but to furaisli one more of those striking coincidences of thought and event that are often so curious, and to show how wonderful may be an escape from death.

AV e gain only as we give. There is no beggar so destitute as ho who can afford nothing whatever to his neighbor. Women (remarks a late essayist) skate much better than men. Or is it that their superior gracefulness gives them an air of superior ease? I saw only one girl fall the other day, and she managed it beautifully, but several men came down most ignomin iously. A slander refuted: George Selwyn once affirmed in company that no woman ever wrote a letter without a postscript. ' My next letter shall refute you," said Lady G . Selwyn soon after received a letter from her ladysship, where, after her signature, stood: "P. S. Who was right: you or I? ' A Church steeple, at Ionia, Mich., is thought to be bewitched. '-One night it appeared to stretch up, and bore a holo in the clouds. At another time it seemed to wabble and lean over, and iU last trick was to appear to be on fire.'' "We should like some Ionia whiskev ourself. There roust be heaps of fun in it. Intellect: "Do vou eally believe that an ass ever spoke to Balaam?7' queried a man who prided himself on Lis intellect. Coleridge, to whom the question was put, replied: "My friend, 1 have no doubt whatever that the story is true. I have been spoken to in the sajne way myself." The man of the inquiring mind retired for meditation. The writer of an elaborate treatise 011 the the origin of evil has suffered at the hands of the proof-readers. He meant to say, "The houI of man is of Divine origin: the body of man is of Satan."' But the wicked printer have made him to wiy that "the body of man is of Satin." .This, however, is not worse than the case of the line of a hymn which, by a similar manipulation, or a lack of carefulness, was changed from the triumphant expression. "We raise our lofty shouts," to the very infelicitous and unpoetical one, "We raise our lofty snouts." Thus does old Satan slyly interfere w ith that which was meant for good. In a recent number of Dihgler's Polytechnisches Journal is described the alarum clock of Herr Pfyfler, which at a given hour lights a small lamp. The lamp is above the clock. Near it is a disk with a sectoral piece cut out and with horizontal axis. This has a spiral spring and, by means of a handle, is turned round to a tense position, in whieli it is held by a projecting nose and catch. When the nose is released at the proper time, the disk springs back and ignites a match over the lamp. The arrangement is said to work with great certainty.

Miss Marianno North, a pretty English artist, is making a tour of the world with very high credentiahP for the purposo of painting the distinctive flowers that grow wild. Mn. M attic Jl. Field, of the editorial staff of tho Now Orleans Times, is arising woman journalist. M rs. Field is young, enthusiastic, and a great favorite inNcw Orleans. Mrs. Garfield is understood to have said that she will not interfere with the President-elect it ho chooses to have wine at formal dinners, and her "Washington friends say that she will confine herself to tho affairs of her private household, with, which tho public has nothing to do. "Women are too commonly adjudged verdant in all put purely womanish affairs. No philosophical students of the sex thus judge them. Their intuitions, or insights, are the most subtlo, and if they can not see a cat in the meal there is no cat there. A man, therefore, should keep none of his affairs a secret fro.n his wife. Arthur Helps: In many things women are the superiors of men, in many things they are inferiors never our equals. There are souls masculine and feminine. If I were suddenly askod to give a pro of the good ness of God to us, 1 think I should say that it is most manifest in the exquisite difference he has made between the souls of women and men, so as to create the most charming companionship that the mind of man can imagine. There are two reasons (writes a man) why women desire the suffrage: one is as a measure of what appears to them simple justice, and they are unable to imagine why this justice should be denied them, except on principles which tbry feci themselves strongly culled upon to protest against. The other is the plain fact that in some degree women have special interests. It is for these reasons, far more than the desire of influencing the policy ot wars and armies, that tbev wish to vote. The devotion of women has another exemplification in the wife of Shephard Cowley. She visited him almost daily during his whole term of imprisonment, she never ceased to assert his innocence and maintain that ho was a victim of passion and prejudice, and by incessant efforts she managed to raise money enough to pay his fine Tihcn his term expired. The amount was only $'250, but it was not by any means easily gathered up. After the arrest of her hus. band, she made her home in a tenement house, and lived as poorly as some of the destitute women who are on the relief lists of the charitable Societies. The education of women ia Europe is advancing. In the Victoria Lyceum, Prussia, regular entrance and closing examinations have been instituted, and certificates are given for excellence in classical and scientific studies, and in the humanities, and a woman has been appointed to a chair of philosophy. Canon Barry, principal of King's College, London, said recently that he considered that it was a pestilent heresy that girls should leave off studying just at the time when their brothers are beginning to enjoy tho advantages of College work. The Kussian Schools for girls have rather formidable courses of study and strict systems of examination. In the lower classes they learn sacred and universal history and geography, and they begin in the third class the history of artf history of modern invention and discoveries, and of Miss Francis Power CobN;, in her "Duties of "Woman: a Course of Lectures" says: 'Of course, no woman can be so dull of observation as not to know that men are invaribly flattered by the abject appeal of a woman (especially if 6he be young and pretty) to save her from some transient peril a runaway horse, a swaying boat, an irrascible bull. Obviously it makes the the smallest masculine soul swell with Herculean glory to be clasped round the arms (or in extreme cases the legs and beseeched to exhibit the heroism ot his sex. Possibly he may be shaking in his shoes, and the application tv help anybody, but himself may be rather inopportune, especially if the suppliant be plain or elderly. I once asked a dentist whether gentlemen or ladies gave him most trouble: and he replied; 'O, gentlemen beyond question. I operated upon a great many ofHcrs just before they went to the Crimean War, and I assure you that many of them who are now Bala klava and Inkermun heroes behaved in a very unheroic way indeed in the chair in which you are sitting.' "Women scream a little' but are always ready to thank me for what I do for them. Men moan, and groan, and abuse me. ' Old Maids." "Wo sometimes hear it said "that every generation grows wiser and better." "We wish the evidence was so clear upon this point that there could be no question as to the truth'of this adage. "We have had all the wisdom ot the past ages as a foundation whereupon to build our own, so we should have failed to do justice to our own capabilities, or to have duly honored our fathers if we had not made progress in many things. "While we can glory tome what, we have reason to mourn and bo ashamed that in regard to things of a moral nature we have been so slow to learn. There are some things we have inherited from the past that bear evidence against us. If we could have been wißer in our selections from the repository of former times, and gathered to ourselves all the good, and dropped out of use that which brings with it no grace to adorn and nothing to enrich the mind or add to material prosperity and scatter sunshine in the pathway of life, we should be loaded with less of that which irritates and brings sorrow and pain, caused by the jostlings of the different classes as the great mass moves onward. Is it not possible that for the want of that progress, so much depended upon by many among us to lift us into one 'universal brotherhood, we are transmitting undi minished, things that have been so perni ciousto our moral health and grow In virtue and peace, wheVeby future genera

But wo have grasped with eager avidity this unbecoming spirit, and a most worthy class of society have become the victims of our sport, envy or Late without any abatement of the evil sinco the days of old. It must be saddening to every generous nature to see to what an extent this spirit pervades tho domain of our own sweet home. Why should thero I a bloud to overshadow the brightness, that its radiance should not bring cheer to old; or why a pang of sorrow felt bv any ono onlv for being in single life? As tho snowball from the hand of th- thoughtless schoolboy goes crushing through the window, tearing its way through the mutt delicate millinery and fancy goods with woeful effect, so tho scorning contemptuous words that come from the tvns of somA of our writers make wounds in sensitive na tures beyond what they know.

A busy retail grocer, Whom we all surely know, sir, Waf asked one day in a friendly way l!y a eoutitrv chap who had come to (stay Till the mail came in at the clone of day". "What are your gross receipts, sir?" "He, he! ha. ha! ho. ho! sir." ..Untied the busy retail grocer. Ah he pointed out. w Ith laugh and shout. The barreta and boxes ranged alxut. "Vou can plainly see, beyond a doubt. What are my grocery seats, sir!" It is thought that there is a great deal more acting oil' the stage than on it. A woman will direct a letter straight if she bus to draw a line with a hairpin. The man who has bis sisters and his cousins can not be too careful of his haunK Winter is a disagreeable bed-fellow, be cause it is too much inclined to indulge in snowering. We are sorry.but we are etbliged to classify .ainting a pretty girl's che?ks as "trauduent coloring of sugar," and call for a polariscope test. In the make-up of a small boy there is al together too much whistle for the amount of boy. It is most too much like using a two-quart funnel in a three-ounce vial. "Bridget, I can not allow you to receive your lover in the kitchen any longer." "It's very kind of you, ma'am; but he is almost too bashful tu come into the parlor." All things arc comparative. To a nervous woman the problem ot bow to pet a caterpillar off her new bonnet is a matter of greater moment than the iassagc of the llubicpn was to Cxsar. A bald-headed, cream-laced, pale-ryed Puritan, from Massachusetts, came to New York on a visit last week, and refused to take his daughters to see the obciisk because it was Cleopatra's needle, and Cleopatra was a bad woman. Brooklyn Eagle. "A collection will now be tkcn up," said the minister; "Deacon Swipes, will you pass" and that good man waking suddenly with his bands full of hymnbooks responded: "No, I'll order it up, by thunder,'' and then the minister dealt him a dreadful look and the good man passed oui. A Chicago youth was sitting on the shore of a skating pond utterly exhausted. A solicitious friend asked the sufferer what ailed him. After pausing to get his breath he thus explained: "Well, you see. Miss Brown rested her foot on my knee to get her skate fastened and I haven't got over the effects of it yet" Brooklyn Eagle. "How is your sister coming on in her new place'."' asked a Galveston lady of her servant. "Matildy is comin' on first-rate, but de baby is mighty col iky, and gibs her heaps of trouble." "Why, I didn't know your sister was married'" '"'I didn't know it neither, and Matildy herself saya she didn't know it yet, neither. No wonder we didn't know it." "I don't think a majority of the members of Church choirs ever get to Heaven," observed an old lady who was accustomed to construe her Bible very literally. This opinion very naturally occasioned some surprise, and she was asked why she thought so. "Because," said she, "all angels are required to sing, and that's something most members of Church choirs can't do." Galveston News.

Brooklyn Eagle. A witty old American Judge, who bad spent an evening with a young lawyer in the country whose oflicc was on the second story, on taking his departure stumbled on tho stairs and fell to the bottom. The young lawyer, 1 ieuriii the inijse, rushed out, and, seeing the Judge lying on his back at the bottom of the stairs, hastened down, and with great anxiety, asked, "Is Your Honor hurt?" "No." said the Judge, scrambling to his feet, "but my legs are." The Fakir of Siva gave a slight of hand performance in Galveston. One of his feat was to make a marked dollar di.-apiear in thesight of the crowd, which he successfully did. "That marked dollar will be tound in the vest pocket of that colored gentleman," said the fakir. joiiiliiig with his magic wand at Sam Johnsing. All eyes were riveted on Sum, who advanced to the front, took some money from his vest ixjckct and taid: ."Boss, heah is your change. I has had two beers and a segar outen dat dollar you told me to keep In my vest pocket till you called foah it." All Outlet on the Wabash. Prom a special which we published on Monday, from Oak town, it looked as if the old saying of "h on the Wabash" was quite apropos once more. The whole story, however, concerning the devastation made by the overUowing river turns out to have been a Munchausen, as we judge by the following letter, which we have just received: Oaktown, Ind., February 2i, 1SS1. Sir In the Sentinel of yesterday is a communication from this place. Judging from Us tenor, it would seein that we, as a community, were in a deplorable condition. I am ready to contradict every item In it. First, we had hlnh water In lsso, attout one ypHr ao, and that b linker Prairie is not submerged nor has it been; no houses swept away; but little stock of any kin 1 suffered; no one died in a log school houe. and. left to the mercy tf the racing element, an d the ieople of Hhaker I'rairie have not suffered the calamity that he states they have. The fact is Shaker I'rairie Is h hih. dry prairie, with the exception ol few bayous, and they are protected from the ovcrllow by guod, substantial levees. There is no log school house, or any kind of school house in the overflowed lands of the Wahash tiotioui. There has no death occurred in the overflowed district, as he states. His whole corresj)ondence is a fabrication of ths own pet tin? up, and no excuse can be ofl'ered for his want of truth. This community has lecn victimized more than once by said correspondent; so much so that forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. uch fabrications arc decidedly mean and do a great injustice to the people of shaker Prairie. Wc would advise said correspondent to repair to the desolate and submerged '"school house in the middle of the sea," secure a large cake of congealed fluid as it goes crushing and gnnding by. place it in the middle of said desolate log school houe, and carefully sit down on it. 1XPKX The Story of a Flag. ' The Printer's Ilcgister tells the true story of a Republican roorback which had an immense run during the late Presidential campaign: The tremendous effect which might result from a tyjiogra pi ileal error was never better illustrated thau in the case of the Hot Springs Telegraph and ita Kelel flag. A great Pemocratic barbecue had lcen held near the Springs, the editor had 'thrown himself" in a two-column descriptive article, headed with tlaruiiig lines. To add a little glory, the eomiositor was directed to ton the article with that oft-used emblem of our Nation, the "stars and strijes." The editorial was priuted and sent out before the busy editor had time- to examine his hundiwork, and then, to his horror, he tound he had "lluug to the breeze" the "stars und bars:" The careless compositor, in tumbling over the dusty box of blackened cuts, hal taken this relic of the old war times and used it without a cloe examination. Theu what an uproar arose! All the copies of this edition that could be secured were seized by the politicians, who paid as high as SI apiece, and sent throughout the land. The Republican press, from Harper's Weeky and the New York Tribune to the most obscure iaicrs in the remotest Terri tories, rang with the cry of "treason." The flag 11. r it i i .. 1.. 1 i... aui us iouow ing iieau-iiiies were reprouueeu ij lithography and steropraphy, anJ met the eye everywhere. The unfortunate editor protested in vain: his voice could not be heard in the din. But now that the campaign is over he shall have justice. His name is W. A. Webster, and he Is a Northern man. formerly an Iowa editor. Jle served with honor in the Federal Army, risking his life to put down the emblem of treason. It is as hateful to his sight as to that of any "stalwart" in the land. He had lately bought the Telegraph ofliee, and did not even kuo." that it contained this obnoxious cut. All who know him believe his explanation. It was simply a typographical error nothing more. Five hundred dollars reward for a better remedy for Heart Disease than Dr. (i raves' Heart Regulator.
