It is said that a woman may travel from One end of Japan to the other, unattended, without fear or molestation. It must be a Tery disagreeable country for women to live in. Poor fellow, bo went into a bootstore to purchase a polyglot Bible, but his tongue, clove to the roof of his mouth, and he oulv managed to ask if they had any pollywog Dilles on sale. ''Do vmii know who came to save sinners?" asked a Bible teacher of an honest Dutchman who occupied a seat in the class. " I heard it was Got." said Hans The Questioner

shook hia head. "No. no, mv good Hans; it was Jesus Christ, the Son of God." 'Oh. ho! Bo it was tt ne of the poys? I tought it was the cle man." replied Hans ."Edith." said mamma, "you have told me a wrong story. Do yon know, Edith, that you will have to answer for it when you go to the other world?" "Will I, mamma?" replied Edith; "well, I'm glad I shall have something to talk about: it would be awfully awkward to go there and not know what to Bay." BostonTr an script "I thought," said the senior Baggies, as he . produced a suspicious looking flat bottle 4 from his son's valice, that there was nothing Tbnt your surgical instruments in this bag." That's what I said." "Then, sir, what do tou call this?" "That? Oh. that's my eye cpener, dad; Tery useful instrument, tery useful; indispensable, I assure you!" Two San Francisco women are at law about & wedding dress, each claiming it; and the testimony is so mixed that the Judge can't decide. Let him try Solomon's scheme with the women and the baby. Let him threaten

to spill a plate of soup or a dish of ice cream on the dress; the woman who screams and calls him "a mean old thing" will be the real owner. "How did yon like my discourse this morning?' asked Tarson Goodenough of Deacon Lightweight, the village grocer, as they walked home from Cburch last Sunday morning. "Too long, brother; too long," replied the frank deacon; "I believe in having everything short." "Yes, I've noticed that in your weights, deacon," said the sarcastic parson. Yonker's Statesman. Did you ever think that when we get to Leaven if we do get ttiere most professional gentlemen will be thrown out of employment? The doctor will have nothing to do, because everybody will be well; the lawyer trill have to take his sign down and seek some honest employment, because there will be no quarrels and no litigation, and the minister can't preach his old sermons any more, because the people will be too good to listen to them. At a meeting of temperance women, an old lady not up to give her experience. "I know something of the evils of rum," she tafd, "I have buried three husbands, and all were hard drinkers. Bnt I am glad to say," Ehe continued, "that I didn't right with tbein. As soon as I found they would drink, I got them to insure their lives heavily, and let them go ahead. Ah, me! each one of them died from the effects of liquor, but, thanks to a kind Providence, each death netted nie a clear $10,000." - uily tear," said Mrs. Moses Schaumbcrg 4,we oubt to gif a bardy to our frient.

Philadelphia CalL Of coarse the following anecdote has not the slightest reference to the judiciary of oar own noble land, put to the Insitutions of Justice in Central Africa A lawyer met the Judge on the street, and failed to pay Lim that deference to which he thought himself entitled. "Young man. I fine you $5 for contempt of court,' said the irate Jadge. 'Why, Judge," was the quick response, "you are not in session." The Jude drew - Limelf to his lull height and replied. "Venns man. this Court is alwavs in -ses sion, ai;d consequently always an object of contempt. - , I never saw a roan who would niclc tin hli clothes and put them where they belonged." growled Mrs. Edsell as she slammed her husband's oanta across the back of a chair.

the hairbrush he ran into Jane with both bands full of coflee and cups and then went out to buy his breakfast at some dining room. Hartford Sunday Journal. Too MocTi Experience as Bad as Not Enough. "Before promising a woman to love only her one should have seen them ail or should see only her." This extraordinary sentiment is found in the writings ot A. uepuy a Frenchman, of course. Th Stomach of a 8tatmaau "I remember." says a correspondent, "once breakfasting with M. Thiers. There were six refects at the table. Cod was served. M. hiers took a large plateful. He then took the oil-cruet and poured nearly tue wnoie ot the contents over the cod. I was alarmed at seeing an old man preparing to eat such a dish, and could not retrain irom asking whether he was not afraid of doing himself pome harm. o, no.' he replied. 'I want to show these gentlemen that I am capable of governing, because I have an easy diges tion." Derived From the Terb "To Revere," ot Coarse. Boston Advertiser. I A remarkably pretty young lady was re cently heard to inquire of her companion in the hastern Kauway tram: "Why do they name things Revere? Does it have any special significance? There is a place and a railroad and a hotel, I think, all named Revere." The young man. with an air of great hesit ancy, said: "I think it is the name of some rxan, but 1 am not sure. Taking the Census. Laramie Boomerang. The eentleman who is now engaged in canvassing for the new city directory is also taking the census. The other day ne stopped at a neat cottage on Second street, knocked and was admitted by a young lady, when the following conversation teok place: "I am getting the names of the residents of Laramie for the new city directory. Will you please give me yours?" The young lady blushed, dropped her bead, and finally answered in a low tone of voice: "Mrs. ." "Any children?'' continued the canvasser, as he made a few hieroglyphics in his note book, which were supposed to represent the name just given. "Oh! goodness sake, no!" ejaculated the lady. The canvasser glanced up inquiringly. The cheeks of his hostess were fairly a.lauie, and she was evidently trvine to say something more, but could not find the right words because of her embarrassment. Finally she broke the painful silence: "That isn't my n that is. I I am going to my name isn t Mrs. now, you see, sir. but it will be to-night!" STATE ITK3IS. I-aporte has twenty Churches and forty saloons, the Argus says. A gang of thieves are committing depra dations nightly at Vernon. Samuel Thompson, of Frankfort, has a beet raised this seasoa twenty-seven inches in diameter. General Milo S. Hascall has sold the hotel Ilascall at Goshen to Mr. Josh Tyler, of Elkhart for fi3,0o0 spot cash. The "Coming Times" is the name of a new publication lately started at Kendallville, by Thomas L. Grave's and II. J. Long. Fumkin parties are a favorite form of entertainment in Ripley County. A prize is given for the biggest pumpkin exhibited. Adams Karl, of Lafayette, sold a herd of thirty-one Hereford cows at the Kansas City stock show for $17,565 an average of $603. A Crawfordsville merchant got up a pumkin show and gave several prizes, the largest being $23. There were one hundred exhibits. Bishop Foss will be the visiting bishop at the spring Conference of the Northern Indiana M. E. Church, which takes place at Peru April 2. John Shuck, aged eighty-nine, died on the 4th at his house in Heth Township, Harrison County. He had been a resident of Harrison County since 1605. Dr. James Orr. of Rush County, is winning a wide reputation aa a surgeon. He has a call to go to Iowa to perform an intricate surgical operation. Ilia wife assists him. Charles C. Ernest, of Fairbanks, Sullivan County, was in the city to-day with some specimens of coal taken out of some new mines jnst being opened in Fairbanks Township in that County. This coal lies in a vein three and a half feet thick, and Is from thirty to tifty feet below the surface. It has cropped out in the hollows. It lies in vast quantities and is along the line of the proposed Southwestern road. It is a bright, clear and clean looking bituminous coal, seems to be absolutely clear from sulphur and burns down to an ash. It would be a valuable addition to the fuel product of this region, and its development on the line of the proposed Southwestern road would furnish that Company with a great deal of traffic from the outset. The supply seems to be exhaust less, as it is supposed to underlie the whole of Fairbanks Township, which lies in the northwest corner of Sullivan County. At present it is distant from any railroad, and can not be mined except to supply the local trade, but with cheap transportation furnished by a railroad would at once come to the front. Terre Haute Ga2ettc. A woman writer in an exchange, who signs herself "One Who is Ready," says she is thirty-seven years old and still single, and adds that she is as young in heart as ever, and "thinks thirty-seven is a delightful age to marry." It is all right to think so, but the probabilities are that she will be 137 years old before she succeeds in inducing young men to entertain a similar opinion unless she is rich. Money is a powerful element in ejecting matrimonial alliances, and a womuD needn't worry about her age if she has gold Nomstown Herald. We have heard of a man who was so completely broken down by the death of his wife that he had to marry again almost immediately in order to recover his equilibrium The physician said be would have gone insane from grief if be had not married the second time, but that that saved him. DyspepnU Marders Sleep, Destroys appeilte, renders lifo miserable. Well has it been depicted as a fiend which ceaselessly torments its victim. Though it can not be driven from Its stronghold, the stomach, by ordlnsry means, it may be analhilatod with Costetter's Stomach Bitters. Weakness of the digestive organs lies at the root of dyspepsia. Tae natural chemical solvent of the food is insufficiently secreted by the organ whence It takes its source, and the raw material upon which it should act lies like a lump of lead in the stomach, fermenting and ceasing heartburn, and the manifold tortures from which dyspeptics suffer. All this trouble is removed by the Bitters, which promotes a sufficient eecretlon of the aatric Juice by stimulating and strengthening the cellular tissue of the stomach. Debility, billiousncss. fever and ague, ailments of the urinary onrans and rheumatism, are also reme diable by the Bitters. "What's good for rheumatism?" asked the boarder of Farmer Furrow. "Wal, sir," raid the old man, slowly nodding kis head, "I think you'll find hard cider aa pool as anything." -"How hard should it be?"

THE OLD FBANCIS TAYERN.

Washington's Leave-Taking- of II U Of ficers 100 Tears Ago. Present Appearance of the Boom In "Which the Father of Hia Country Ate XraaJc. and Spoke. New York TimeA thick, juicy beefsteak or a cracked blue china platter, some hot mealy potatoes,seemIngly iust ready to jump out of their loose jackets, a pile of snow-white bread, and a brown-stone mug of foaming ale sat before an old man with thin, gray hair and a grizzly beard. The table was a long, low, pine structure.covered on top with white oil-cloth-vaguely streaked with blue. The old man sat on a stout, unpainted chair made of ash. The room was long and broad, with a low ceiling. Five old-fashioned windows let the daylight in from two sides of the building and an open fire-place of ancient appearance caused an uncomfortable draught in one corner of the room. A dark modern paper of eilt and black covered the walls, but the rugged wainscoting, the deep window casings, and the general outlines of the apartment gave to the place an nnmistakabe appearance of old age. A large picture of Washington on horseback and two or three ancient prints in narrow mahogany frames were the only visible attempts at decoration. "Yes, Sir; this is the place where Gen. George Washington took leave of his officers after the close of the Revolutionary War," said the old man as he carefully balanced a rich morsel of steak on his fork. A huge yellow cat that had been warming itself in the fading sunlight of the late afternoon, jumped down from one of the windows and yawned expectantly at the old roan's elbow. The fork quickly conveyed its juicy freight out of the range of feline's vision, and after washing Mown the morsel with a drink of ale the old man resumed: "It was in this identical room, one hundred years ago, that Washington shook hands with and bade good-bye to some of the men who had fought by his side through the long and hard struggle for liberty." "But the room has been changed since then, has it not?" "Not in size or general appearance. Of course it has been repainted aud repapered several times. This room, as you see, is on the second floor. In Kevoiutionary times the building was but three stories high; now it is five, but the two upper stories were built on without altering in any way the internal arrangement of the old tavern, which has always stood on this northeast corner of Broad and Pearl streets. Many a good time has been enjoyed in this old room, as I have often heard my father tell." A far away look came into the old man's eyes as he thought of the past and its traditions, and the big yellow cat took advantage of his abstraction to snatch a remnant of meatfiom the platter and scamper away with it. "I don't know as anybody could tell you when this old building was put up." continued the speaker, after emptying his mug of ale and pushing back his chair a little way: "the first mention that local history makes of it is that Colonel Robinson occupied the building as a residence before 1707. In that year Delancy, Robinson A Co. opened a store here, and it was not until 1762 that Samuel Francis converted the place into the Queen's Head Tavern. George III. had wedded Queen Charlotte in the-fall of 1761 and the tavern was named after her. Samuel Francis, I umi told, was very successful as a host. He kept the travern until 1765, when John Jones took it and conducted it for about a year as the Free Mason's Arms Next Bolton & Sijrell ran it for three or four years as the Queen's' Head, and in 1 0 Samuel rrancts resumed control and continued as host for several years." "Are you familiar with the circumstances of Washington's leave-taking here?" "Oh, yes; I have got it all in my scrap book up stairs. Plea e wait one moment " The white-haired man was obliged to lean heavily upon his stout stick, but he moved briskly nevertheless, and in a few minutes he returned from a trip up stairs with a much worn black scrap book under his arm. "Yes, yes, here it is," said he, and he read from venerable newspaper excerpts as follows: On the morning of the 25th of November, 1783, the American troops marched into the city in procession, at their head their Excellencies General Washington and Governor Clinton on horseback attended by their aides. The Governor Rave a public dinner at Francis's Tavern, at which the Commander-in-Chief and other General OtScers were present. After dinner the following toasts were drank by the company: 1 The United States of America. 2 His Most Christian Majesty. 3 The United Netherlands. 4 The King of Sweden. 5 The American Army. G The Fleet and Armies of France. 7 The memories of those heroes wbo have fallen for our freedom. 8 May our country be grateful to her military children. 9 May justice support what courage has gained. 10 The vindication f the rights of mankind in every quarter of the globe. 11 May America be an asylum to the persecuted of the earth. 12 May a close Union of the States guard the temple they have erection to liberty. 13 May the remembrance of this day be a lesson to the Frinces. A letter to the Pennsylvania Facket, dated New York, December 6, Saturday, 1783, described the leavetaking between Washington and his officers in the following language: "Last Thursday noon the principal officers of the army in town assembled at Francis Tavern to take a final leave of their illustrious, gracious and much beloved commander, Gen Washington. The passions of human nature were never more tenderly agitated than in this interesting scene. His Excellency filled a glass of wine, then addressed his brave feilow-soldif rs: "With a heart full of love and gratitude, I now take leave of you. I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former ones havo been glorious and honorable." "Washingtca drank his wine, and, setting the p!assown, said: "1 cannot come to each of you to take mv leave, but shall be obliged if each of you will cone and take me by the hand." "Thef e words produced extreme sensibility on both sides; they were answered by warm expressions and fervent wishes from the gentlemen of the army, whose truly pathetic feelings it is not in our power to convey " 'In Cu9tis's Recollections of Washington," continued the old man, "it is -written. Gen. Knox, who stood nearest to him. Washington turned and grasped bis hand, while trie tears flowed down the cheeks of each; the Comnjander-in Chief kissed him. This be did to each of his officers, while (ears and sobs si tiled utterance. "Happy as was the occasion," wrote an. otacer to a friend in Albany, "prayed for it as it was by him and all patriots when we might teel that there was not any enemy in America, it brought with it its sorrows, and I could hardly speak when I turned from taking my last look of him. It was extremely affecting, and I do not think there ever were so many broken hearts in New York as there were that night" Several dinners and business meetings were held in Francis Tavern during the winter of 17834 commemc rative of the closa of the war. The long room on the second floor' in which such occasions were celebrated is now used as the dining-room of a .clean and re spectable tavern kept by an accomodating German. The title of "Washington's Head quarters is conspicuously displayed both on the outside and inMde of the buildins Mr Jacob Etzel, the pro. -ietor, takes pride In

showing visitors the old place and talking of

its historical associations. Jt was in tuls comfortable building that the Chamber of Commerce was organized on April 5, 1763, and there most of its meetings were held in the first year of its existence. Very cozv and sociable meetings they must have been, too, judging from the following instructions which were given the Treasurer ot the orfranization at its first meeting: "Resolved, That a proper room for the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is to be provided, and the lreascrer is to have bread and cheese, beer, punch, pipes and tobacco provided at the expense of the members present, so that it must not exceed Is each man." Several of the present members of the Chamber expect to commemorate old tiroi by meeting in the old tavern on the morning of Evacuation Day and washing down a bit of old-fashioned lunch with a goblet of old-fashioned punch. FASHION'S FANCIES. Lands of velvet worn around the throat are ornamented with a diamoud crescent, a locket or some bit of jewelry in front. Fur trimmiags are put on in various ways; for instancca velvet skirt or cloak may have a very wide fur border around the foot as its only garniture, while cloth skirts have three or four narrower rows of Astrakhan across the front and side breadths, and a wider row around the whole skirt. Sealskin jackets in the jersey style, but quite short and untrimmed, are more popu lar with young ladies than the long sealskin sacque of former years. In black laces the hand-run silk Spanish lace is much liked for fichus, scarfs to drape as vests, and as trimming laces, but the tscunal lace with the design outlined with a cord is the favorite. Very few of the new costumes are made entirely of one material. Combination is the order of the day. Urocade and velvet, broche and cashmere, cashmere and velvet, vicugna and brocade, are all combined. Plaid suits in dark colors are made into tailor dresses and finished with collars, cutfs. and narrow vests of velvet fastened by gold coin buttons. Leltsof velvet or alligator's leather may be worn with these dresses. Brocaded velvet wraps threaten to become so common that ladies of fastidious taste will prefer plain velvet Chenile, though a beau tiful, is a frail garniture and has already been brought out in such large quantities by cheap manufacturers tnat borders of fine undyed furs will be the most elegant trimmings for yelvet cloaks. Sealskin remains the fashionable choice for fur garments, and is shown in greater variety of shapes than at any previous season, comprising close jackets, loose sacques, capes, long casaques, redingotes, ulsters, dolman cloaks, yisites, chasubles, turbans, polo coi?. and muffs. High shouldered effects are given to many of the new seal garments, and there is a tendency to make them closer fitting around the waist and fuller below the waist line. Velvet dresses are made by New York tailors which are as plain in cut and finish as the dresses they make cf cloth. Russian f ablps are the costly trimmings of the wrap Cf thCfe dresses, which are intended for the winter promenade. A border of sable trims tLe bottom of the Newmarket coat and extends in double rows up the front. Cutfs ai d a reverse collar of sable finish the coat. A tiny muff of velvet trimmed with sable tails, or of sable, accompanies such dresses. Scarfs of .black Escnrial Spanish lace are draped across the front of dresses that have been worn, and serve to freshen them. Puffed velvet vests, with cuffs and standing collars, may be used for the same purpese. It is a fancy of the hour to uso dark velvet next to the throat to bring out the delicate flesh tints. A frill of seft Mechlin or Malines lace finishes the lower edge of these collars, and a fall of lace like that worn by courtiers of the reigu of Louis XVI. is added in front. A specimen of cashmere cloth, very fine in quality, is in a clouded plaid of old-fashioned faded colorings, yellows, greens, drabs, and blues predominating, and a fine serge cloth in Havana brown and myrtle green is studded with designs in cut blush. Flain and figured velvets are much used as trimming for woolen dresses in the new colors, either forming entire skirts or as fiat bands edging the short paniers or the polonaise. Lands of plain velvet are often embroidered with scroll patterns or floral designs, in light shades of silk in the same or contrasting colors. Something odd and useful is the bison cloth, which is a light, warm, rough surfaced material in all the fashionable shades and colors, shot with darker threads, such as moss trreen, with navy bine or crimson, drab, with blue or golden brown, garnet with green and yellow, and bronze with xed and blue Another cloth of the finest wool comes in all the new smoke tints of red-bronze, green, blue and gray, as well as in various tones of crimson and Borueaux. Complete suits are not now made in goods with large cber ks, which serve as kilt lininga.side panels and revers. The muffen suite with the bonnet has been revived, and very elegant outfits of bonnet and muff to match are offered for inspection in our res?arcbe3 of current millinery developments. Dainty conceits are made of velvet in the satchel or reticule fashion, lined with white satin, or with satin of some contrasting color, with frills ot lace at the ends, and trimmed with a bow of velvet ribbon, imprisoning one, two or three stuffed birds. Or, instead of the birds, the trimming tf the muff consists of a tuft of ostrich-tips, or a boquet of velvet flowers, and fur and feather bordering' garnishes this fanciful band gear. Sleeves are quite small at the wrists, and have a very small stiff cuff that is turned backward, and is made of velvet, satin, or brocade in combination dresses. Cloth dresses are close at the wrist without cuffs, and with one, or at most two, buttons and button holes in the outer seam. Cashmere sleeves are rounded and slightly open up the outside seam, with a full frill of creamy Oriental lace, or else a narrow cuff of linen. Laces for the neck are worn as frills, as fichus, and in collars that point low in front almost like a vest. The favorite finish is to continue the creamy lace friil down the front partly or all the way to the end of the basque. Furs are always the handsomest of winter trimmings, and the fortunate possessor of pood furs need not follow the prevailing craze for marabout. Its wear, like that of ziblinette, is by no means satisfactory, and though comparatively inexpensive, the necessity for frequent renewal materially increases the original cost of the mantle or dress of which marabout is the adjunct. Nevertheless, motives of economy do not deter people from wearing a great deal of marabout trimming. It is certainly very light and fleecy looking and always becoming, and is very pretty for trimming house dresses Marabout is dyed most of the new delicate tints, as well as in the deep artistic shades f green, olive, brown, ruby and blue For a loy of 9 or 10 years of ape a dark green suit is handsome. Jacket, with sailor collar, is cut to the figure and has three seams in the back. The front is buttoned its whole length, and the collar and cuffs aro trimmed with three rows of gold brafd; the buttons arc gilt, and on the left side above the breast a gilt anchor is suspended by a pale green ribbon. The jersey vest is bordered with braid in the neck and at the lower edge. It is fastened in the back and adorned in front, where it 13 exposed by the low neck of jacket with a gold star. Close tittiiiK pants are drawn in below the knee by a carter of gold braid. Green stockings and rap trimmed with cold braid to match suit. : William Mather, wbo is in this country nnflpr n rnrtinii4sinn from the British C1V-ernn-ent to investigate and report upon the lonuiuuu nnu juvic-o uk icv,iuui uvi uv ration in America, finds in the United States " nmnnfnrtiirinc ulrill And ncMnfprir,LT in. genuity that cannot be observed aaywhere eise m tae woncu-

A volume containing Petrarch's sonsrs. 1rinted in Veuice about the end of the fifeenth century, was recently sold in London lor the sum ot U, 1 50. There u not a copy of the work in this country. A vessel constructed of paper was recontly launched at St. Petersburg. She is driven by steam. Her dimensions are: Length, twenty-five feet; greatest width five feet, with only a few inches draught of water. In Kussia, for locomotives and stationary engines, the use of native mineral fuel as compared with fereign is steadily increasing. Some railways not far froru collieries have letarned to the combustion of wood. One of the most remarkable things about paper is its strength. As an illustration of this a note of the Bank of England twisted into a kind of rope can suspend as many as 329 pounds and not be injured in the least. Field daisies have been colored by placing their cut stems in aniline violet ink. They refused to absorb any color from black ink. Peonies have been colored as they grow by applying various dyes in solution to the ground in which they stood. A recipe for the removal of rust from steel with the least abrasion is to rub sweet oil well inte the affected parts, leaving it for forty-eight hours, at the expiration of which time the article is to be well rubbed with finely pulverized unslaked lime. A correspondent suggests the use of windwheels to drive dynamo-electric machines to decompose water. He would store the re sulting gases in suitable holders, to be used when desired for lighting purposes, or for heating, or for any employment for which such gases may be available. A correspondent of nature believes that such vast quantities of gas as must have been freed by the Java catastrophe have necessarily affected the earth's atmosphere, and thinks that the fine weather of September, prevalent over a large portion of the earth, may have been the result of the great eruption. M. Lessan has written to the Russian Geographical Society that he has finished the exploration of the Ongonz River, which was known only in its upper parts. On account of the dryness of the season the journey was difficult. The channel of the river was very ill-defined, and the expedition often lost its way. Electrical omnibuses, the invention of M. rhillippart, recently traveled from the Place de Nations, Paris, to Versasilles, a distance of more than twenty kilometres. There was no serious hitch on the trials. Only one time there was a stoppage owing to the heating of a coil by excess of current, but the delay did not take up much time. The deepest sea sounding ever made, says the Scientific American, was made in the Pacific Ocean near the entrance to Behring's Sea. Bottom was struck at 4,655 fathoms. The cast was made from the United States schoolship Tuscarora. The shallowest water in the middle of the Atlantic, 731 fathoms, shows the subsidence of mountains 10,556 feet. Some one who has tried it says it is a good plan to burn sulphur in cellars where milk is kept, especially if they are damp. The sulphurous acid evolved destroys the mildew, which, if not checked, will injure the flavor ef cream and butter. In many damp cellars the mildew wastes the cream, so that the butter product is seriously decreased, besides the injury to quality. In speaking of railroad accidents and the earth's rotation, R. Randolph shows that the deflective force arising from the earth's rotation is entirely too small to determine derailments, and also that, as an excess of rightbanded derailments has been credited solely to north and eouth tracks, this proves it to be wholly imaginary, for the deflective force at any latitude is the same for all directions. Conversation. A talent for conversation has an extraordinary value for common, every-day life. Any one who has this gift enters in asocial circle anywhere. How every one's face brightens at his entrance. How soon he sets all the little wheels in motion, encouraging the resources of the reserved and shy, subsidizing the facile, and making everybody glad and happy. To converse well is not to engross the conversation. It i? not to do all the talking. It is not to do all the talking. It is not necessary to talk with very great brilliancy. A man may talk with such surpassing power and splendor as to awe the rest of the company into silence, or excite their envy, and so produce a chill where his aim should be to produce beat and sunshine. He should seek the art of making others feel quite at home with him, so that, no matter how great his attainments or reputation, or how small may be theirs, they find it insensible just as natural and pleasant talking to him as hearing him talk. The talent for conversation, indeed more than anything else in life, requires tact and discretion. It requires one to have more varied knowledge, and to have it at instant and absolute disposal, so that he can use jnst as much or just as little as the occasion demands. It requires the ability to pass instantly and with ease from the playful to the serious, from books to men. and from the mere phrase of courtesy to the expression of sentiment and passion. Ex. Quite a strong cendemnation of the practice of putting an end to the social life of a young lady after she has been "out" two seasons appears in a recent issue of a San Francisco patier. "This," it says, "is not only unfair, but is worse, it is uneconomic. American society moves onward with a great wasieof energy, and in nothing is spendthrift as with a woman's age. The charm of a girl's grace and beauty is one of the few good tin rips' of life, and civilization has a right to demand that she shall exercise that ehanii as long as possible."

Tanner, Marshall Connty, says: "Brown's Iron Bitters sella well and gives good satisfaction." o An officer of the Chicago and Great Southern Railway states that the road will be in condition to run trains to Attica, Ind., by December 1. There will then be open for business eighty miles of road. Three miles more will then remain to be completed to finish the road from Yeddo to Fair Oak, where connection is made with the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago. When this

is completed the Company proposes to push on to Rockville, Ind. Alter reaching Rockville, Brazil will be the next point made, the road running through Carbon, thus striking all the best coal mines in Clay County, Indiana. Lafayette Dispatch. The demon of dyspepsia has been expelled in thousands of households by the use of Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder. There would be no restless nights, no low spirits, no grumbling dyspeptics, if all the articles of our food were as wholesome, nutritious and easy of digestion as those made with Dr. Price's Cream Baking Fowder. The Logansport extension of the Vandalia has been pushed on to Twin Lakes, three miles and a half from the Nickel Plate and about two miles beyond Yellow River. At this point there is a connection between the lakes which will necessitate a bridge 300 feet long and for this purpose piles fifty feet long are being driven. The Company has now reached that portion of Indiana which strongly resembles our sister State of Michigan in the number and beauty of the lakes connected.

Try a bottle and satisfy yourself. Cold Hands and Feet. Lowell, Feb. 3, 1ST9. MESSRS. C I. TIOOD & Co.: Gentlemen About one year ago my daughter commenced taking your Sarsaparilla. At that time she had very little appetite; could take no long walks, and her lace was badly broken out withahumor. She was low-spirited; troubled with cold hands and feet; her blood seemed to be poor, and she was in a condition which caused us great anxiety. After taking ono bottle of your Sarsaparilla she began to improve; and she now lias a good appetite and can take much longer walks. Her humor is nothine compared with what it was one year ago. She is in better spirits, is not troubled with cold hands and feet as previously. And I attribute this improvement in her condition largely to your Sarsaparilla. She has taken six bottles, and intends to continue its ose. I was inclined to oppose the trial of it at first. I now have great faith in it as a blood purifier. Very truly yours. A. L.
