A modest man in Delaware wrote to Postmaster-General Howe asking appointments in the postal service for him self and his two sons. His modesty is discovered in the fact that he asked nothing for the old woman and the girls.

A young man who came forward at a revival meeting in New Carlisle, Ind gave his name as Arthur Thomas, Chicago burglar, and stated that he had selected two safes to be robbed that night, and had strayed into church to kill time.

Jesse James was killed a month or more ago down in Tennessee. He has just been killed again in Texas, and in all probability he will be stopping trains out in Missouri before Spring, and poking his festive revolver in the faces of passengers. Jesse is a genius.

Charles H. Foster, the^noted Spiritualist medium, is deemed incurably insane. He is in the asylum at Danvers, Mass. His mediumship does not seem to have enriched him permanently, though at times he made money rapidly, and an appeal for charity is made in his behalf.

A German nobleman has just died at Leona Springs, in Texas, where for thirty years he cultivated the soil and cherished the idea of creating a magnificent baronial estate.

He made and sold fine butter and sausages, and disposed of other farm products, in San Antonio, in the quality of which he was excelled by no competitor. He was much of a recluse. Karl Felix Georg von Plehwe was the name of this eccentric representative of German nobility.

70U consider the proper foe gentleman should take

"What do support?" "TFA the lady's right hand in his left and she place her left hand upon his shoulder, the fingers appearing ia front. The gentleman should rest hts right hand gently upon the lady's back near the waist, and both should stand on parallel lines looking over the other's shoulder, the lady turning her head slightly to the left. Both should bend the upper portion of the person slightly, so that the shoulders should not be more than four inches apart and the hands that are clasped should remain only a few inches fram the person, not allowing the wild sticking out of artns recently adopted. In this grouping there is no more contact of person than a lady taking a gentleman's arm for walking. But to put the wbolo matter in a nutshell, the vulgar and vicious dance vulgarly and viciously, and the refined in a refined and innocent manner."

Ouf American babit is to despise small economies and trust the tradesman. An ounce off your beefsteak is six per cent, profit per pound to the butcher and the same is true of groceries and vegetables.
