An exchange says: "When the breezy blooming bloomers are universally the go, how will the tailor press creases in them, I should like to know? When the baby's head is nodding and wants to take a nap how can mamma lull her darling in a bifurcated lap?How can bridget shoo the chickens with no skirts to flop and fling, when the creatures go a grubbing in the garden in the spring? But the question most annoying that our speculation catch: Can she vie with men in action when she goes to strike a match?" The editor doesen't always have a soft snap of it you may rest assured. When other heads are pillowed in calm and peaceful sleep the tired, cramped and aching hand of the editor is to be found, often without money and without thanks, laborously tracing down line after line in praising this and that industry, enterprise and individual in glowing words, a tribute to the prosperity he has never felt or enjoyed, (God help him) in all his life, and tell with tender feeling and an aching heart the misfortune that he knew so well. An exchange tells a good story of a father and mother who were trying to find names for their twin babies, who by the way were girls. It Mas decided that the Father must name them. Ater casting about and finding no names that exactly suited him, he determined to end the strain on his mind and call them "Kate and Duplicate". In the course of time another pair of twins came, and they were boys. This was the husband's opportunity to get even, and he wanted his good wife to christen the boys. Imagine his feeling when the mother one day told him she had named the boys "Pete and Repeat". Another clever scheme to beat the unsuspecting public is being worked in some places. A smooth talker presents a package filled with what he terms the genuine California cinnamon beans and offers it for five cents. Ho enlarges on the wonderful properties of the aforesaid bean and in nearly every case he sells his victim from one to a half dozen packages. When the story is stripped of the poetical delusions of the astute seller, the buye." finds that he has pinched a fair simple of the common every day white lean upon, which a preparation of cinnamon oil and coloring matter had been adroitly poured. A peck of the common white beans will fill enough packages to sell for $10. TO TRADE. A good wheel for watch at John Scars' Kepair Shop.
