The headlines to the article were written: “They are faded now, but Miss Blank’s treasures were once worn by President Cleveland,” It was the fault of a blundering compositor, of cotfrse, that the word treasures was set “trousers.”

A Brazil man informs an ludianapolis correspondent that it is not the coal mines which they point to with pride, but to the Midland railroad, owned by Henry Crawford, of fragrant memory in this community. He says that one of the rarest sights, and therefore of treasured memory, is the arrival of a pay-train on the Midland, He saj’s that he does not remember when the last pay-train came to Brazil, but that there are many of the older residents who still have a vivid recollection of it, and the incident is pointed to as one of the most satisfactory in the lives of the Brazilians. It is said that the Wallaoe show which exhibited in Rensselaer last summer has closed one of the most lucrative seasons in its existence, having cleared $275,000. Ben Wallace, the proprietor, has become one of the wealthiest men in this part of the state in the last few years through his oircus. He has been investing considerable money in Miami county real estate from year to year, and now owns about a mile square of excellent land along the Miesiesinewa river, near Peru. It is said he has also just finished spending $40,000 for interior decorations at his home, though perhaps $20,000 or $30,000 of that may be cirous advertising exaggeration.
