{Ariumsaw Traveler.)
An old fellow from Bear Wallow visited the executive offioe tha other day to talk with the goverotr aad secure something for his neighborhood. "Come in," said a ploaaaat-loqlcing genUeuian. •,= "Are yon the Jtovornorf ^1^"' "Yes, sir." "Wall, tlien, Pva alius been mistaken about you. I had heard that you left one of your legs on a battlefield, but I see that you've got two legs. do you account for that!" "Easy enough. Whon I took my seat as governor only had oue leg with mo, as you say, lost the other iu battle. A short time after 1 took my txsat I noticed that aaothor leg had begun to grow out At first I was alarmed, having never heard of puch a performance, but after awhile I decided to await developments. Tha leg kept on growing until the ankle was l-eached. It stopped then for a fevr days, ani I thought that the resurrection biuiueea was entirely suspended, but was wrong. The leg was only gathering material with which to build a foot. After awhile the foot began to make its appearance. It reminded me of on old woman knitting a uock. It would have tickled you to death to tee how skillfully and human-like the work of rounding of! the heel went on. Occasionally it would drop a stitch, but, sir, it would hop back and pick it up. I was very anxious about the instep, but my fears were soon allayed, for it waa shaped off as perfect as anything you ever saw. At last, when the {.erformance reached the toes, hanged if I didn't think that I would itch to death, but I couldn't scratch, for that would have spoilsd tho work. When the job was completed, I could walk as well as any man in town, and I even ran a race with an old negro down on the river bank." "Did you walk around while the growjn' was goin' onf asked the man from Bear Wallow, regarding the governor with a curious gaca. "Oh, no. I had te remain perfectly quiet and allow my leg to lie An a kind of cot which I had prepared for the occasion." "Did you talk to any of the doctors about itf "Yes, but they did not regard it a* remarkable. One of our leading physicians said that the election to office was very frequently the causo of legs and arms growing out, and gave it as his opinioa that this was the reason crippled men were always after offices."
uIt
may nofc have seemed strange to the doctor, but dinged if it don't seem mighty strange to "It did to- nW kf'ftret, Dut I sddn got used to it and let me here remark that when a man is elected governor of Arkansaw he will soon get used to a number of things he never heard of before." "Now, when I go home an' tell the folks that the governor's leg has growed out they'll believe it, for they don't think anything's impossible with him but when I tell 'em that I've seed the governor, and sot down an' talked to him familiar like, they won't believe it. Can't you give' some sort of receipt, showln' that I have seed you? Jes say: 'This is Co eertify that John Kilprune, of Bar Waller, has this day hil a conversation with me. I axed John to sit down and make himself at home, which he done, an' I found him mighty entertainin', an' wush he'd come again an' fetch his folks.' Jes draw up them worJs exactly, an' sign 'em, please.'' "I'll do it, sir," and the receipt was drawn up and signed. Greatly elated, the man from Bear Wallow went down. At the state house gate he met the watchman, who asked: "That feller goaa down from up yonder yet!" Wny$ "What fellerf *, "That feller ia the governor's room." jft: "Ain't he the governor!" •Governor, tbe duoe. He's a jackleg lawyer from up in the country, and is.here try in' to'get a pardon for a hog thief. The governor's been dodgin' him all day."

Kilaaon and Mariou [New York Letter.]
"We were great friends," said Mme. Nilsson the other day, speaking of Mario. "In 1867 we were at a reception given by the duchess of Buccleugh, who was fond of Mario, and asked him to sing the duet in the third act of 'Faustf with mo. I was delighted to sing with Mario, and turned to him in expectation. He was frowning with vexation, and feeling in all his pockts: 'Mais—my eye-glass,' he exclaimed 'whore is ho got! I cannot sing without my eye-glass.' But, I cried in surprise, surely you do not require any glass to sing musk: which you must know by heart, Yoa have sung it a hundredtimesl" 'Yes, but I do not know it, nevairetheless. Pestet I have left him in the paletot of yesterday. We must sing, but you must assist my memory. I ean do nothing wif a piano. I remember very well on the stage. There is the conductor with his arm in motion. That aids me. So does the boom! boom I of the big fiddle and the gabble of the prompter. Come, let us begin.' We sang, but I had to prompt him with music and words all the way through the duet." "'J*
Coffee for Alcoholism. [Chicago JournaL]
According to the statement of the vice director of the Rio Joneiro Faculty of Medicine, in Brasil, where all the inhabitants take coffee many times a day, alcoholism is unknown it is further stated that immigrants contract little by little the fondness of the Brazilians for drinking coffee, and their aversion for liquors and as the children of these immigrants never contract the fatal habits known to their parents, it would seem that the number of drunkards in the country is in inverse ratio to tho amount of coffee consumed. A South American correspondent of Tbe Medical Times confirms the above, asserting that the number of cafes in the large cities, where multitudes of persons from the highest down to the lowest go—is enormous, while driuking-saloons are very few.

£L Vight Which, fir Homaaitarlaa Beaaoae. Was Never Aepertetf to the Superintendent. [Chicago News.]
A few engineers and firemen were sitting around a coil of steam-pipe ia the roundhouse telling their yarns. Among them was a pale young man who had lost his health in a dry goods store and had just engaged an extra fireman. "I never was so mad," said big Bill Dempsey, "as I was when I licked Jim Ransom fur notflaggin' me." "When was that!" asked one of the firemen. "Le's see," said Bill, thoughtfully. "That was in '79—the year they put in the Clarion side-track."
uFor
what offense did you panbtAi him!" asked the pale young man. "Hoy?" "What did you whip him forf "Waal," said Bill, "tho confounded ejiot stopped down in the Kewanee holler, an' never sent no man hack to fias me. I wus a comin1 down the hill liellity-split, when I seen his way car. I had the old '70,' with twenty-four cars, an' I hadn't no idee I could stop 'er, but I flung 'er over an' give 'er the plug fur all she wus worth. I tore her old fire all out, but I got 'er by the neck all the same. She stopped within three foet o' Jim Ransom's way-car. Thunder an' sour milk, but I was mad? Jim wus a-standin' there, as rattled as a woman on a crossin', an' I says, 'You infernal ejiot, why didn't you send nobody back to flag me?* 'By gosh. Bill,' says 'e 'I'll be darned if I didn't furgit it.' 'Oh, you did, ehr says I an' I jumped down out o' that gangway an' give him the eternalest wallopin' he ever got" "Why did you not report him to the superintendent, and have him removed for such gross carelessness?" asked the pale young man. "Say, look a-here young fellow, I'll give you a dead straight pointer," replied Bill. "If you're a-comin' on the road with them sort o' ideas, the quicker you don't come the better fur you. If it's good health you want, you just rent out them air notions to some fellow with kid gloves. Yes, I'd look purty.

Broncho Sam as an Kqaestrian. [Bill Nye.] Speaking about cowboys, Sam Stewart, known from Montana to Old Mexico as Broncho Sam was the chief. His special delight was to break the warlike heart of the vicious wild pony of the plains, and make him the servant of man.
There may be joy in a wild gallop across the boundless plains, in the crisp morning, on the back of a fleet broncho but when you return with your ribs sticking through your •est, and find that your nimble steed has returned to town two hours ahead of you, there is a tinge of sadness about it all.
Broncho Sam, however, made a specialty of doing all the riding himself. He wouldn't enter into any compromise and allow the horse to ride him.
In a reckless moment he offered to bet $10 that he could mount and ride a wild Texan steer. Tbe money was put up. That settled it. Sam never took water. This'- was true in a double sense. Well, he climbed the cross- bar of the corral gate, and .. asked the other boys to torn out their best steer, Marquis of Queensberry rules.
As the steer passed out Sam slid down and wrapped those parenthetical legs of his around that high-headed, broad-horned brute, and he rode him till the fleet-footed animal fell down on the buffiflo grass, ran his hot red tongue out across the blue horizon, shook his tail convulsively, swelled up sadly and died.

A Rejected {Lover's Timely Bevenga [Philadelphia Call.] "That was a very brilliant wedding last evening. By tho way, the bride was an old flame of yours, was she not?" "Yes, the fickle, heartless thing, as soon as that foreign count put in an appearance she jilted me." "I see by the papers that amotig the bedding presents were ten magnificent clocks. Rather odd that so many different persons should hit on the same thing for presents. But why are you smiling?" "Ah! revenge is sweetI Revenge is sweet!" "What can you mean?" "Don't breathe a word and IU tell you. I am acquainted with most of that jcruel flirt's friends, and it so happens that nine of them, not knowing of my previous love, came to me for suggestions about a wedding present I confidentially advised each of them to send her a clock, and then afterward I added another clock myself. Ha? Ha? The villain still pursues her 1 I am avenged! avenged!" "Mercy I man, are you mad?" "Never was more sane in my life?" "Then how in the world can the presentation of ten valuable clocks constitute revenger "Hist! Can't you see! She'will, of course, put them in different rooms, and then will not have a minute's peace until she gets them to run together. She will begin by trying to regulate them herself.

Tendency to Longevity, [Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.] It is alleged that the life of man is lengthening. Certain it is that in this country of late years deaths of persons having attained very advanced ages have been recorded in the newspapers with greater frequency than over before. But that fact would not be good proof for vital statistics. There were in Russia in 1883, according to an official report, 838 centenarians, of whom forty had exceeded 112 years fifteen, 130 nine, 136, and three, 138 years. We are not aware that our government's last census report can make a showing as good as that. However, it is of record that there were in the United States thirty years ago over 3,400 persons 100 years old or upwards. One person was down at 140, one at 123, one at 120, one at 111, and two at 110. These were all black slaves or Indians, untaxed: and it is well known that black and red people are, after a certain age, like white men of all ages, "mighty uncertain."
But we must turn to the world's true pioneers for ages that have a respectable growth of moss on them, for we find among the old gentlemen of note at that time, Adam figuring at 930 years, Noah at 050, Jared at 963, and Methuselah at 060—not ons of whom at the age of 700 or 800 would have qjnir'Agj-'i klasfU too old te run for president the United dfiMas.

Rt Hon Buckboard Scruggs Xieetnres on Corns, Chilblains and "Siok"
(Detroit Free Press.4
I would respeckfully announce," said Brother Gardner, as the triangle sounded its closing note, "dat de Rt. Hon. Buckboard Scruggs am in de aunty-room an* desiahs to deliber his celebrated lecktur' on de subjick of co'ns, chilblains, an' sich. Shall he be admitted an' purmitted?"
Judge Cadaver moved that the lecturer be invited to speak his piece, and the motion unanimously prevailed. The committee was requested to escort him in, and as he passed up tho hall, bowing to the right and left, he seemed to bo a man about 45 years old, bald-headed, a mouth large enough to take in a school-reader, with a prominent nose and a limp to his left leg. After being introduced he reached over and drank the pint of cold tea which Waydown Bebee had brought down for his individual use, and began:
FELLER NATIVES:—My objick in arrovin beah at dis pertickler time am to discuss a matter dat clusly consarns de hull cull'd race of dis kentry. De co'n seems to be carnivorous, omnivorous, an' mighty familiar on short notice. It lies down wid de rich, gits up wid depoo', an' stands right by you widout strikin' fur higher wages. What causes co'ns? In olden times de co'n was supposed to be a speshul mark of good luck. De feller who could show six or seven of 'em on one heel was made gub'nor ober a province an' allowed to keep half a dozen dogs. De little bunch was said to contain a pearl seventeen carrot fine, an' people went 'round cry in' an' lamentin' bekase dey had no co'ns. "In dese modern days we know dat co'ns am caused by a temporary suspenshun of de circulashun of de blood, mixed wid mo' or less reackshun an' abrashun. So fur as we know de pearls found on de inside can't be used fur fish bait, an' am darfo' a dead loss to de kentry. When you heah any one gwine around cryin' you kin beta spotted calf agin a peck of dirt dat dey ain't weepin' fur co'ns. "De chilblain differs slightly from de co'n," continued the orator, dropping a troche into his mouth. "It doan' bunch up an' come to a head in one pertickler spot. While de co'n am satisfied to cotch on to a toe an' hang dar fur a month or two, de chilblain comes purrin' round de heel, good-natured as an ole cat. It kinder tickels ye fur a day or two, an' you step higher an' feel like takin' your fadder out of the poo' house. But while you am wishin' you could buy 400 barrels of flour fur 400 widders an' orphans dat chilblain begins to hunt around fur mo' ground. Arter he kivers de heel he creeps for'd to de instep, skulks to de toes, an' fust you know you am huntin' for a bute-jack and a currycomb. He has come to stay all winter an'late into spring. You can't coax, hire nor scare him away. In olden days de chilblain was suppose to arise from too much brains in de head. De man who had 'em was considered a sort of double-ender statesman, an' people looked up to his heels as well as his head. In dese times we know dat de chilblain am caused by a sort of spontaneous emblematical corruscashum of de epidermis at a critical period. All dat brains has to do in de catse *m tolttveht a cure fur de complaint "I had intended to disgress a few traoslashuns on de subjeck of bunions, bow-legs, sittin' down on a dog, an' pickin' up a hot cent in front of a saloon, but 1 see dat de time allowed by your rules am almost dispired. Let me add in conclushun, dat I am purvided wid a box of knives, gimlets, drawknives, pick-axes, acids, pincers, an' razors, togeder wid a full supply of salves, plasters, wax, an' so fo'th, an' arter de close of de meetin' I shall be pleased to experiment on all members free of expense. I will now remark: Cum solis curanter pluribus Cicero tremens similibus Gineral Jackson, and thanb you fpr your heedless attentions to my unfeeling remarks."
A Western flew of New York Editors. [Chicago Tribune.]
There are no editors in New York worth talking abont There were some there once but they are dead and buried long sinco. Journalism in New York resembles a potato vine. Xhe only valuable part of it is under ground. Tho sprouts above the surface are of no use except as provender for potato bugs. There was a time when. one of their great editors spoke in very slighting terms of small country editors. If his view could be now ascertained he would be found to entertain similar notions as to the calibre of the successors of himself and his contemporaries. There area lot of little fellows in that city making newspapers that are destitute of every attribute of a real newspaper, and mitring as much fuss over it as a hen over her eggs. Every time these little fellows discharge some underling, or go to a party, or wine and dine some actress, or ride out to the park, or make a few dollars, or blow their noses, their cheap Boswells record it for the supposed benefit of people in the country who never heard of them, and if they bad heard of them would have no interest in them. It is time these puff-balls of conceit were pricked. The slobber and gush over them has become as unendurable as their own insufferable and monumental conceit. There is so much country outside of New York, and it is so thickly settled, and there are so many other newspapers among the 55,030,000 people who don't happen to live in that city or its suburbs, and it is absurd to suppose they are interested iu the personal habits of half a dozen second-class men they havo never heard of, or the peculiarities of half a dozen thirdclass newspapers for whic'a they have no use.
The Logic of Tragedy. ["Gath" in New York Tribune.] That the young lady and the young man who sat with the Lincolns in their private box the night of the assassination should have married, multiplied, and ended in a terrible tragedy, is no greater subject of wonder than any other human combination. Often a nearly supernatural crime bears tragical posterity, for deeds reproduce themselves like men. It can probably he shown that •very violation of nature makes the vacuum or example into which similar events rush. One sailor found the Indians westward, and all his sons, brethren and contemporaries turned navigators. The impression made by a powerful crime is greatest according to the degree of contact, whether that contact be personal or mental. Mrs. Lincoln's mind broke after her husband's murder. John Brown provoked a race of invaders from those about his gallows. A player, leading the weak piece of John Howard Payne on Brutus, went and killed a magistrate.

The Story of a Faatorf Tha* Cover* aa Bntire Block Ut lew Terk Ctt* .'.w5 {New York Sun.) "Ydi see that large factory! It covers the entirs iblock. Half a million of money wouldn't buy it Well, it was built by a little piece of oord not more than six inches long." Here the speaker paused and scrutinised the reporter's countenance for indications of incredulity, not to say astonishment But the narrator was talking to a man who, since the Introduction of the telephone, has made it a point of principle to be ready for anything and to believe all that he hears. The speaker added: "flight years ago there lived on the west side, in the third story of a cheap tenement, down near the North river, a poor mechanic, who was kept poor because he had a passion for inventing it amounted to a passion. He didn't drink and didnt travel with the politicians, and all who knew his family wondered why they should be so poor. Time passed on, and still the man was poor. But at last he perfected an invention—the simplest thing on earth—and with his patent in his hand he went down town one day, and called for the head of a house whose check was current for five figures anywhere in 'the street' The inventor offered to sell twothirds of his patent for $20,000 if the house would bind itself to put $100,000 into factories for producing the little thing that he had invented. The firm signed papers in less than an hour from the time of hearing the proposal, and in another hour the inventor had converted the firm's check for $20,000 into greenbacks. Lots were bought and a factory was erected. The business speedily grew to gigantic proportions, and at length the firm acquired all the rest of the block, and covend it with brick and mortar, and now the inventor is able to associate with tbe millionaires. The little glove fastener—a piece of cord about six inches long and a dozen little metal hooks or buttons—is the thing that was invented. "So much for one man who was concerned in gloves. Others have made fortunes out of them and lost the money in other enterprises. I recall a case of a merchant whose net profit on gloves was $13,000 a year. Some of the New Yorkers who sent their money down to the gold belt of Georgia about two years ago got his ear before they had lost $75,000, and he took the gold-mining fever. Off to Georgia he posted. Yes, there was gold in the hills of the Empire state of the south. He returned to New York and sold out his business and back to Georgia be went And there he is delving in
mud and wishing himself
back at his button business in New York City." The Army Mole. ["Army Life," by A. O. Marshall.]
The train we came with from Pilot Knob this time is made up of raw mules that have never before been hitched to army wagona It has been fun alive to see the teamsters attempt to drive the stubborn, unbroken animals. At first it was a continual runaway through the entire line. But being in the woods all the time, the only result would be that the ponderous army wagon would in a moment be caught upon a tree and then tbe mules would become entangled together and tumble in a heap. The thing to do now was to entangle the huge-pile of inulea Let imagination picture the scene. Sometimes in a fierce run a small tree would be bent over by the force with which the mules would strike land then regaining its strength would straighten up, and thus frequently a team of the smaller mules would be found hanging up in a tree.
An army team consists of six mules. Tbe two largest ones being the wheel mules and the smallest two tbe lead mules. The entire team is driven by a single line running up to the bridle of the right lead mule. A steady pull on the line means that the lead mule is to turn to the left, quick jerks tell Mm to turn to the right It is wonderful how soon a raw mule can be taught to obey this awkward mode of indicating to him which way he is toga With this single line the driver riding one of the wheel mules guides his team of six through many of the most difficult and dangerous places. The army mule occupies a place that no other Animal could so well fill. His life in the army shows that the mule has never been fully appreciated. In reputation a mule is concentrated stubbornness and obstinacy. In reality he is generally docile, faithful and tireless. Even when running away a mule team never
