CITY FARMING.-A friend of ours who

city farming. His particular idosyncrasy
was to supply his own table with fresh eggs

Having a taste, too, for statistics and domes-

account, charging his ducks and hens with
what they eat, and crediting them with what
they gave him to eat. The principal food
was corn at 81 bushel, or corn meal at three
cents pound. For the many crumbs that
fell from rich mans table into their in
satiate maws he said nothing, nor for their
attendance. A small charge was made for
interest upon plain house, fixtures, and
necessary convenienees of a poultry yard,
and the purchased feed At first there was

goes for that.

Fashionable, is it? O, yes, Iput piece

The Lord be praised, Miss, it growed up

good one from the Memphis Bulletin, is too
good to be lost:
VINGT UN.-We have afriend-or, with
the emphasis of the inimitable Toodles, we
hare friend, who, for the nonce, we shall
call the Major thought his right to the
preft is somewhat questionable. Now the
Major has had, through life, one besetting
sin, and that is an unconquerable love of
certain game of cards known as uingt an,
which is the French for twenty-onc. This
we'll known game, fat wife and large
family, are about the only weakness that can
be laid to the Majors charge. How often
he has been married the record sayeth not,
nor is it important. Suffice it that during
over thirty odd years of the Majors welded
life, as his wealth increased and his hairs be-
come gray, one after another, in regular sue
cession, his board was honored with the
presence OF miniature editions of himself,
until the number had reached twenty, when
the Major concluded things had gone far
enough and should be stopped. But they
didn't, as the Major in due time found out,
for he had calculated withoutconsulting his
wife. There were indications ofanother bond
of union and well-springof happiness. The
Major became nervous, for his nomenclature
was exhausted. In his desperation, he final
ly declared that the coming heir to his name
and fortunes, whether boy or girl, be named
vingt un. -.
In vain the old woman demonstrated. The
Major was inexorable. The new conner, be-
ing the twenty-frst, should wag bis way
through life with that appropriate title. In
an ante-room the Major awaited the an
uouncemant of the little strangers 'ssex. The
nurse appeared, and to the Majors horror,
whispered the terrible word-tvins! Busted,
by thunder yelled the Major, "achy didn't
stand on t,oenty?"

GENERAL JACKsoN's TOILET.


The genial temper of President Buchanan,
his easy, pleasant manners and racy CONVEX
sation, have already rendered him great
favorite in society, abroad as we'll as at home,
and few of our public men have laid up
such a stock of amusing and valuable remin-
iscences. There is one anecdote which he
tells of General Jackson which is 80 charac-
teristic of the old hero that it is worth pre-
serving. The President relates that one day,
during the administration of Old Hickory,
he went to the White House to ask permis-
sion to present to him the celebrated Miss
Betsy Canton. Gen. Jackson readily as
sented, and named the next day for the in
terview. At the appointed hour Mr.. Buch-
anan repaired with his fair charge to the
Presidential mansion, and leaving the lady
in one of the drawing. he mounted to
the private cabinet of the President. To
his great surprise and disappointment, he
found the General buried in his books and
papers, and attired in plain morning dress,
his chin unshaved and his favorite pipe in
his mouth. The Senator from Pennsylvania
was grievously embarrassed. He wasappre-
hensive that if he announced Miss Canton's
presence, the gallant veteran would descend
all in ncgIige as he was.
Mr.. Buchanan did not like to expose the
renowned belle to such shock as that, and
on the other hand be equally dreaded Offering
a suggestion to the fiery old hero. There
was no alternative, however, and he had to
state that Miss Canton was waiting the Gen
erals presence in the green drawing room.
Up jumped Old Hickory at the first word,
and laid down his pipe. There was not a
moment to be lost, so Mr.. Buchanan, in a
timid and apologetic manner, ventured to
observe that "the lady could very we'll wait
till the President had shaved himself" The
General saw what he was driving at, and
shook his frizzled head at him like the name
of an enraged lion. buchanan" thunder
ed out the impetuous old man, "did you ever
hear of the man in Kentucky who got rich
by minding his own business?"
Without stopping to say whether he was
acquainted with the remarkable person in
question, the experienced Senator fed from
the storm, and took refuge with his lovely
companion down stairs. In few minutes
afterward, the hero of New Orleans entered
the room with that dignity of manner which
no man knew better how to assume, and
great was Mr.. Buchanan's relief to find that
not only was his face quite virginia. in its
smoothness, but that he was got up in his
best black suit, with boots of faultless ra-
dance.

WHAT THE PEOPLE OF KANSAS THINK

sas, who wish to have an opportunity to mind

Justify for 'nigger' or mo nigger,' haven't
money enough, as a general thing, to buy

purposes of these political demagogues, thai
they may ride into power and obtain some Of
the spoils-and that's all. The free State

anything about the moral condition of the
niggers, but they must have text to preach

THE OLD THIRTEEN STATES.


God bless the good old thirteen States,
God bless the young ones, too,
Who cares for musty birth. day dates?
God bless them-old and new.
The old ones first our freedom gained,
In bloody fights of yore,
The young ones have their rights maintained
As the old ones did before.
Of South, or North, or East, or West,
Twin sisters all they be;
One mother nursed them ut her breast,
And that was LIBERTY.
And may the wretch whose hand shall strive
To cut their vital thread,
Be scorned while in this world alive,
And scorned when he is dead.
Now, fill the bowl with natures wine,
Let's drink "God save the King"
The only King by right divine,
The Sovereign People King;
For they're the only King / own,
All others despise,
But God that reigns on heavens throne,
The King that never dies,
o. may that scepter wide extend
Der every land and sen,
Without beginning, without end,
And conquer to set free.
Till freedoms banner stands alone,
A beacon in the sky,
And no other Lord shall own,
But he who rules on high.

SAM PATcH.-We find in an old paper
the following account of the last leap Of the
famous and fool hardy Sam Patch, who lost
his life iu jumping over the Genesee Falls,
at Rochester, N. Y. twill be remembered
that he had before leaped off the Genesee
Falls: and also at Niagara.
His last leap was taken November l3,
1929. This singular and presumptuous
being has indeed made his last jump. Fri
day, 18th instant, at the hour appointed, in
handbills which had been previously circu-
lated, headed Sans Last Jump the banks
of the river on each side below the falls, for
nearly half mile were crowded with spec
tators. Sam appeared amid the shouts and
hurrahs of the expectant assemblage. A
stage had been erected twenty-five feet high
er than the brink of the precipice, making
the height about hundred and twenty feet
from which he was to leap. He had before
jumped from the precipice without injury,
and now determined to prove by experiment,
Tin his own language that some things can
be done as we'll as others, ascended the stage,
and was again greeted by the cheers of the
spectators. Sam addressed those immediate.
ly below for few moments in language
that seemed to say he half anticipated the
result of his rashness After adjusting his
dress, he bowed to the vast assemblage on
either side of the unenviable station, then
on the other, and deliberately leaped off, was
for moment in mid-air, and then engulph-
ed in the abyss beneath. We stood near
where he struck, and for moment after he
left the stage, heard not word. Every
heart beat with dread suspense and every
eye was strained to behold his rising; but
they saw him not, for the water still engulph-
ed its victim. At length, when not wake
or sign gave further clue to hope, the half
formed shouts of joy died into the breathing
murmurs Of sHe's dead 'He's gone = and
in moment the vast crowd knew full well
its truth, and turned half aside to conceal
the horror that they felt. Thus has Sam
Patch, who had rashly, buttil now uninjured
sported with the law of nature, given US an
example that vain and mortal man may not
triAe with the bounds prescribed by an omIis-
cient God. The body has not yet been found.
