It works this way: A committee of six is appointed to assess lines, and no one is informed of the rides until some infraction costs him or her two cents. There are fines for being late, for coming without a lady, for loud talking, for awkwardness at । the table, for married men talking to other men’s wives, and in fact for nearly even thing. If a person thinks a line unjust he appeals to a jury, but the jurymen cost two cents each and the judge five cents. An Elkart dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal says that “Seoator Peffer, of Kansas, was at one time a well-known resident of this vicßity, and left a record that abides her<F yet, i though it is thirty years since and his family betook themselves t<> another section of the country. There were several of the Peffer brothers living in Penn township, on the western edge of Elkhart county, and all possessed radical characteristics. J ust before the late war the sehatorto be lived in Penn township on a farm belonging to one of his brothers. He was a republican and was considered a pretty good stump speaker for a countryman. During the 1860 campaign he contracted with the republican committee of the county to make speeches for $1.50 a night. He did this for a time, but it was finally discovered that he put his off nights in remote parts of the county making democratic speeches for the sum of $2 per night. A republican committeeman hauled him over the coals for this, and he owned up to the charge, but tried to excuse himself on the ground that he had not “done the republican cause any harm” by the democratic speeches he had made. However, he never made any more repub- . lican speeches in this section.”

An Elkhart young man now carries his hand in a sling, a result us volunteering to assist his best girl’s mother in putting down a carpet. He attempted to gaze on the girl and drive a tack at the same time and failed in the latter undertaking. The Chicago Inter Ocean, that great republican newspaper^ has not suffered by the recent era of financial depres-slaO-lmf has gone right along adding "Her its foundation ws a large and substantial circulation with a stride that under the circumstances is truly wonderful. At one time additions to the subscription list were coming at the rate of S» M > to I.HXt per day for the daily issue, ami as high as per day for the weekly Inter Ocean. The result of this is to place it easily at the head of the list of great Chicago newspapers. It is certainly a good, clean, family newspaper of the highest order. ADULTERATED WINE is injurious, out nothing gives strength, and tones up the stoma h like a pore old port wine. “ Royal Ruby Port," so called for its royal taste and ruby color, is on account of its purity, age and strength, particularly adapter! for invalids, convalescents and the aged. Sold only in bottles (never in bulk) while cheap wine is sold by the gallon and gives a larger profit to the seller but less to the user.
