A lady in this city tells that she once made some shirts for W. B. Tuell and for a pattern had to use the only shirt he had.

President Hayes and Secretary Sherman are both Past Grands, I. O. O. F. Bob Ingersoll and wife hold regular Sunday evening receptions in Washington.

Ledger-Standard:

A legislator, while

on a visit to the female reformatory, when requested to make a few remarks, mnHft use of this language: "I am glad tq see so many of you here." The brief and eloquent effort was not rapturously applauded.

A noted sharper, wishing to ingratiate himself with a clergyman, said: "Parson, I should like to hear you preach." ^Well," responded he, "if you had been wher? you ought to, last Sunday, you would have heard me." "Where was that?" ,"In the jail.",

There was only one rocking chair in the Nessells' residence, at Kendallville, Ind., and both the sons, John and Henry, liked to sit in it. Henry had enjoyed it two hours, when John demanded a turn. A quarrel was followed by a fight in which Henry was killed by his brother.

At Cindnnati a little girl had a spinal disease, so that her head hung on one side. Her mother gave some bread and coffee to a starving tramp, and he rubbed the child's neck while he muttered some incob&rent words. The child was cured. The tramp disappeared. The story is not substantiated by affidavits.

Ohio farmers are easily surprised. An unsophisticated old gentleman, unfamiliar with the habits of polite sodety, called at a neighbor's, near New Philadelphia, Ohio, the other evening, to make a friendly visit. As is the custom in that section, he walked in the back door without knocking. Finding no one after warmirig his feet and removing his wraps, he opened the door of the parlor, or "best room." To his horror and surprise, upon the table before him lay the entirely nude body of a beautiful young girl. He shrank back, and uttered an exclamation so loud as to call down the occupants of the house, all of whom happened to be in the second story.' It was explained to him that the eldest son of the family, who was attending medical lectures at Cincinnati, had brought this body home with him for dissection at his leisure. He stated that he had paid $25 for the subject, but had scruples about cutting it up, as it was such a beautiful one. He added that he received the body in a legitimate way, and had no intention of keeping the matter a secret. The farmer withdrew, bewildered and dumbfounded and the medical student is

much annoyed at being the object of unpleasant notoriety abootthe neigh

borhood. Just as if a young man couldnt travel around with the corpse of a beautiful young girl, if he wants to.

A photographer recently acted as master of ceremonies at a friend's funeral, and as he lifted the coffin-lid for the mourners to look at the remains, whispered tothecorpse, "Now look natural." Force of habit. "See here," said a "fault-finding husband to his wife, "we must have things so arrauged in this house that we shall know where eYeiything is kept." "With all my heart," she sweetly answered, "and let us begin with your late hours my love I should dearly like to know where they are kept He lets things run on as usual.

A few days ago the oniy ehild of Mrs. Keen, of Philadelphia, fell ill of smallpox, and his mother, learning that the doctor had small hopes of the boy's recovery, attempted suidde, but was restrained by her husband. The latter sat up all night with the child. Awakening he missed his wife. She was found hanging dead in the cellar.
