Other People.

Logan's last words: "If this is the end, I'm ready!" An old sexton at Rockford, 111., drop ped dead while digging a grave.

A man by the porky name of Hogg is the youngest member of the house, and he hails from the sparsely settled state of West Virgina.

Ben Butler has discarded his black slouch hat, and now appears crowned with an enormous beaver cap, such as is worn by the frontiersman.

A Persian philosopher being asked by what method he had acquired so much knowledge, answered: "By not being prevented by shame from asking questions when I was ignorant."

A rich business man of Buffalo who died suddenly lately, had not spoken to his wife in twelve years, though she had helped him in his business all along, and she did not speak to him even as he lay on his deathbed. A tough family quarrel, that.

A man who had been married the night before went to a clergyman at Greenfield, Mass., not long ago, and, saying that the cost of the wedding reception had exceeded his calculations, requested a loan of the #5 paid as a wedding fee The money was returned, but has never been repaid.

The Rev. Josiah Conway, of Vermont, was told by a ruffian that he must either drink or fight with him. It was in a side-hill town with no good chance to run, and the reverend pulled off his coat and walloped and mopped and pounded that bully fellow until his cries of "take him off" were heard for half a mile.

An Iowa railway conductor fouftd pocketbook containing §250 on his train near Missouri Valley. He hunted up the owner, an old man traveling with his wife, and returned the money. The old man thanked the conductor, but his wife exclaimed: "It was a good thing some one seen you pick it up or we never would have got it again."

A man whose name wonld have been good on a check for $2,000,000 not long ago, spent two hours in the back office of a Wall-street broker one day last week waiting to get the chance to borrow $10 from one who used to be his clerk. Speculation had brought him poverty and made the clerk a million aire, all within a year or two.

A merchant of Allegan, Mich., Keeps what he calls his "thief account." In it he records everything missed, and the first person discovered stealing goods is required to pay the entire bill to escape prosecution. Recently a woman was caught stealing a fifty-cent pair of leggings, and she was called on to square the account, which amounted to f5.

A. Chicago drummer tells of a merchant in Walnut, 111., who, being prosperous and a heavy buyer, is well treated by the commercial travelers, and has many a cigar offered to him. He always takes the cigar, saying: "It's against my principles to smoke in business hours I'll light this after supper," and when he gets a hundred puts them in a box and sells them to a train boy on the Burlington road for half price.

Strong efforts are being made to induce the pardon board of Pennsylvania to pardon Simeon Schnafisky, of Pittsburg, who has been in prison for a year and a half for assault. His fellow Hebrews are anxious to see him exonerated, and one of them gives this curious reason why he was convicted: "In the first place the charge is untrue. The day the trial came off was one of the most solemn in our religion. No one dared profane it by appearing in a judicial trial. As a result he was found guiltv. Had it occurred on any other day, his acquittal would have followed." I

It is told that secretary Lamar was asked by Senator Voorhees to give a certain office to an Indiana man. He inquired: "Senator, has your man had any practical experience in work of this kind?" Mr. Voorhees replied that his friend was a good politician, a most deserving man, but that he could not answer the Secretary's query in the affirmative. Mr. Lamar then said: "I'm sorry I can't appoint him, Senator but, to tell you the truth, I must have a man with a business experience for this place. It's had enough to have a Secretary of the Interior who doesn't know anything about practical affairs. I have made up my mind that the men under me must be practical to even the thing up."

South Hutchinson.

Last Saturday we spoke of a notice laid on our table "to incorporate South Hutchinson." Yesterday the matter was brought lip before the Reno'county commissioners and the prayer granted and now South Hutchinson is incorporated as a city of the third-class.
