Madison county, this state, has a postoffice named in honor of Private Secretary Halford, and the postmaster receives the magnificent salary of $3 per annum. This item is going the rounds of the press as a fact. It may be true, but it seems unreasonable. It is an old adage, says the editor of the Western Rural, that poverty is uot a crime, but the truth of the saying depends wholly upon circumstances, 'there is a vast deal of poverty that is the basest of crimes against the individual, against society and against God. W hoever is poor because of vice or reckless extravagance is guilty of crime.

An old folks' home for each countyin Indiana, to be built and mantained j by the county commissioners, is a sub ject that is receiving much attention at present throughout the state.

The LaFay.ette Leader says that a Chinaman out at Victoria married •■a Melican woman.” But he soon wanted a divorce.

boss, too muchee Tam, too muchee' sav "killum husband, and too muchee no good.” But the court held the Chinaman to his contract, possibly with the idea of making a notable example to others. An exchange has taken the trouble to thus classify the individuals vho do a town more harm than good. I’here are, it says, First, those who oppose improvement. Second, those who run it down to strangers. Third, those who never push their business.

Fourth, those who show no hospitality to any one. Sixth, those who bate to see others make money. Seventh, those who oppose every movement which does not originate with themselves. Eighth, those who put on long faces when a stranger speaks of locating in their town. Ninth, those who oppose every public enterprise which does not appear of personal 1 u to themselves.

The feeling in favor of annexation in Canada is rapidly increasing, and mass ! meetings are being held in various parts of the dominion for the purpose of fostering the sentiment of political union with the United States. Mean- ! while England is watching matters with a jealous eye, and is making preparations to put a quietus on the movement. As a rule the membership of secret i and benevolent societies increases as j time goes on. One exception to this rub- is the G. A. !{., whose members are dropping off om by one. It isonlv a matterot a few years until death will have claimed the last wt- ran.and this once powerful organization will be numbered among the honored institutions of the past.

The poor people in Europe who come over here as steerage passengers look on America as the land of promise, flowing with milk and honey, where fortunes are made in a day and money can literally be picked up on the streets.
