Dickson who had just returned from Cincinnati, whero he left a standing offer of $1,1)00 for eaoh appearance of Edwin Booth at Indianapolis, Lafayette and this city. He comes high, and it is not altogether sure that he can be had at thoso figures, which will necessitate tickets being put as high as $2.50.
An elegant center table just inside R. Forstor's furnituro house attracts the attention of visitors, who aro not a little surprised to find it is a folding bed in dlsguiso. It is tho most unique thing in this lino yet invented, as it can stand in the middle of the parlor, is a handsome ornament, and no one would suspect its double use. Mr. Forster has another new thing in tho way of an iron bedstead, elegant in gilt and brass trimmings. Being all metal, oven to rails and slats, there is no place for bugs, and then they *ro sold as low as $8.50 and §10.00.
Ono of tho pleasantest places to spend half hour is the well stocked book and stationery establishment of J. Q. Button A Co. The standard books of tho age, and the latest publications of the day will be found there. And any book not in stock will bo promptly ordered. The Central Bookstore has long been recognised as headquarters for blank books and commercial stationery and as for nobby writing material you will always tind there the very latest and- most desirable styles.
A school teacher was endeavoring to explain to a small boy In her class the meaning of the word "collision." She said: "Suppose two boys running on the street should como together real hard, what would there be?" "A fight," responded tho little fellow, loudly and with astonishing promptness, and the teacher gave it up.
It is suggested that, to save washing, dishes shall be made of paper and and burnt after each meal. Plates, cups and saucers of this material could be manufactured very cheaply, and the adoption of this idea would dispose of the most fatiguing part of household labor.
A French physician who holds that that groaning and crying are operations by which nature allays anguish, tells of a inan who reduced his pulse from 125 to eo in the course of a few hours by giving full vent to his emotion. If people are unhappy about any thing he advises them to go into their rooms and comfort themitelves with aloud boo-hoo.
A SENSIBLE FASHION. A great mauy society women in New York now take long walks for health's make. There is always a large number of ladies who allow no bad weather short of a rain-storm to prevent th«m from taking their daily morning constitutional.

Mrs. Singleton gave birth to triplets at Denver one day last week. The little fellows are doing well,but will likely find things unpleasant here awhile, as fheir father is a Knight of Labor and on a strike, and food is scarce and dear in Denver.
A short time before David A. Wassori's death, the patient old man, who had been growing weaker, said to his wife: 'Have you seen my good friend Death anywhere about here? If you see him, tell him he will be very welcome." The The next day his -'good friend" came.
This short sermon for boys comes from Maine. A school teacher there says that at one time he had in his school seven "vulgar, profane, and vicious boys," whose one aim in life seemed to be to torment him. He recently visited the state prison in Thomaston and found three of those boys there. Four others are in the reform school.
There is a queer evangelist now holding religious meetings in Denver. Here are some of his dogmatic utterances: "No man who wears tight pants can be a christian, and no woman who pays $4 for an eight-button pair of kid gloves can enter the kingdom of heaven. I see you girls are inclined to kick at that, but I don't care."
A school teacher near Detroit, Mich., has been removed for a queer offense. His name is Israel Rounds and he inaugurated a system of punishment for his female pupils which consisted of kissing them for the slightest infraction of the rules. For a while ho was in clover, but his fun has been stopped and there are now twenty-seven charges against him.
Dr. Aveling, the socialist, tells his friends on the other side of the water that tho Americans are "the filthiest people in tho world, and absolutely devoid of all sense of cleanliness and decency. He says that "most of the Americans never dream of washing themselves baths are unknown, and some of the largest hotels haven't such a thing as a bath-tub in the house." "Some of our bestcustomers are colored people," said a New York jeweler the other day. "When they have money they wear good clothes and good jewelry. Diamond earrings are set off better on a dark back-ground, and the colored ladies understand it." While he was speaking a fashionably-dressed negress entered tho shop and purchased a tvvo-hundred-and-forty-dollar brilliant.
Poor old Morosini is a heavy sufferer from his daughter's mesalliance with a coachman. He said to a reporter the other day: "She has chosen Jier own course. I will not even sanction a divorce. No, she is not in this country. 1 sent her a certain sum of money to live on. Her conduct presses heavily upon me. Go where I can, do what I may, I am known as old Morssini, the father of Victoria. My own honorable career weighs as nothing against the social verdict. I take a box at the opera. I ask my friends to come. The men do they leave their wives at home. Why? Because all the papers say who were in Morosini's box. I am a marked man, misrepresented, misjudged and ridiculed, and all for no fault of my own."
WOMEN'S VS.
There is said to be only one female trombone player in this country. The mother-in-law has been the chestnut belle for sevsral generations.
A band of Indian squaws who came into Bangor, D. T., the other day all invested in corsets.
Mrs. Haddock, of Iowa, asserts that 1,000 women own and manage farms in Iowa, and that in Oregon they are so numerous as to occasion no remarks.

LIVER A LVXVRTi Philadelphia Star.
Liver, which butchers used to give away, has become a tld-bit.
The manager of the Fort Wayne, Ind., Gaaette, Mr. B. M. Hoi man, says he has often read of the wonderful cures effected by St. J}»•-!'-« Oil. Recently he sprained his ankle, and invested in a cane and a Itouto of st- Jacobs Oil. The latter proved the hitler investment, as it entirely cured his ankle.

LITTLE SERMONS.
Let mercy ever temper the conscious stroke of power. How cruel is the misery of being deceived when we have the least right to expect it.
There is no more despicable character than than the person who deals in violated confidence.
When the soul is pure, its wants are fewest, and the simplest joys are its greatest delight
When any calamity has been suffered the first thing to be remembered is how much has been escaped.
It is always better to pass a dozen intended insults without recognition, than to take offense at a single unintentional neglect or reflection.
Our life is determined for ul "and it makes the mind very free when we give up wishing and only think of bearing what is laid upon us, and doing what is given us to do.
When you know that you are right, let your faith be firm and relentless. To hesitate in a right cause, is to confess to a want of that courage which makes principle glorious and imperishable.
Tllk TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM [Bob Burdette in Brooklyn Eagle.l Why, anybody ought to know what it's the short haul that costs the most. It isn't necessary to convene Congress to tell us that. Yon see I am sitting in a railroad parlor car down in Maine writing a postal card to a friend in Oregon. Now, if I can get that card to the mail car, only seven car-lengths ahead of me, the Government will carry it 3,000 miles for 1 cent. This is Ahe long haul. But it costs a quarter to get the porter to carry it to the post&l caf*. /That's the short haul. Then the porter loses it on his way or forgets all about it. That's the shrinkage. And there you have the -whole transportation problem in a nut-

HOW IT FEELS TO BE WOUNDED. [Recollections of a Private.] The next day, just before Longstreet's soldiers made their first charge"*on the Second corps, I heard the peculiar cry a stricken man utters as the bullet tears through his flesh. 1 turned my head as I loaded my rifle to see who was hit. I saw a bearded Irishman pull up his shirit. He had been wounded in the left side just below the floating ribs. His face was gray with fear. The wound looked as though it were mortal. He iooked at it for an instant, then poked it gently with his index finger. He flushed redly and smiled with satisfaction. He tucked his shirt into his trousers and was fighting in the ranks again before I had capped my rifle. The ball had cut a groove in the skin only. The play of this Irishman's face was so expressive, his emotions changed so quickly, that I could not keep from laughing.
PICKING OUT A [FE.\£ Pittsburg Dispatch. I always was partial to the ladies, and did a great deal of gallanting them around and making them have as good a time as myself. But when I came to the age at which most young men fall in love I was very careful to single out a lady of my own age, and one who had an extra amount of common sense and good breeding one who was always considerate of others' welfare, and was not ashamed that she kept house for three younger childreh left orphans when quite young.
Now, after three years of married life, I have never seen my wife untidy. She makes it her husiness to keep herself looking as neat as her house, and I have yet to see her out of. humor, or in the feast ways cross, and although I do not make anything like big wages, yet she manages to keep the house in all necessaries. and I have more money In my pocket at the end of the month than I ever had, or could manage to save, before I was married.
I think if more young men woula look on the practical side of matrimony there would not be so many disappointing unions.
Common sense is the thing. Never mind the pretty face, bright eyes or small feet. Has she a good supply of common sense? It beats music and drawing far enough. ig
JIO IT THINGS GOT MIXED. "h [Pittsburg Dispatch.] "How are you?" said a bustling gentleman entering the private office. "You are the head of the institution, I be1 eve?" "We-ell," responded the inmate of the office, "I am sometimes." "Ain't vou Mr. Blank?" "Yes, sir." "I believe I did business with you as the head of the firm when I was here last." "Yes, I believe you did." "Has there been a change since then?" "Well, not exactly. But we placed a lady at the head of the sales department not long ago and sometimes it's a little difficult to tell who is running the institution."
A DOITBLB MISTAKE.
An Irishman was accused of stealing a handkerchief of a fellow traveler, but the owner, on finding it, apologised to Pat, and said that it was a mistake. "Amah, me jewel," retorted Pat, "it was a two-sided mistake you took me for a thafe and I took you for a gintieman." A greater mistake will be made by our readers should they fail to invest in that most effective of all cures for Corns, "Pedacura Pliable Plasters."
SOUTH HUTCHINSON
All over Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio capitalists are investing in South Hutchinson. In our city alone there are over thirty of our best merchants who have visited the young wonder and invariably invested their money. The prospects are bright, the property low, the growth rapid and the gains handsome. The town has had a series of successes of which even her founders never dreamt. In rapid succession came the Missouri Pacific, than the Ft. Smith, Kansas & Nebraska, then the Chicago fc Rock Island and a host of others too numberous to mention, and now we see by the Wichita Beacon that $100,000 has been paid for the right of of way for an air, line from Kansas City to Seuth Hutchinson, and from thence to Mobetie, Texas. This is an extension of the Pensylvania Central and gives South Hutchinson one continuous line to New York City.
In the past three weeks three charters have been drawn for industries in South Hutchinson, the capital stock being fifty, seventy-five and one hundred thousand dollars. The Globe Barbed Wire factory and foundry are running in full force and have more orders than they can fill if they run night and day for the next three months. In order to interest as many capitalists as possible the InterState Investment Company are still selling the lots at a remarkably low price, many who have purchased have been offered three, four and five times what they gave. The Kansas Loan and Trust Company, a corporation at Topeka, Kan., supposed to be worth over one million, purchased some of these lots of Ben Blanchard last August at one hundred and sixty dollars each. They have since refused five hundred and say they will get two thousand. If you wish to verify this you have their address.
