A JOKE FOR THE 'SoNs OF MALTA
The Sons of Malta as well as good many
Others, will enjoy the following good joke,
which is told by the Seneca Advertiser, and
is said to have occurred in one of the inter
ior villages of Ohio:
"A worthy member of the Methodist
Church, slightly touched with Millerism,
had never read in his Bible, nor in the papers,
of the Sons of Malta, and had no idea that
such an organization was in existence in his
town. The order determined upon having
a parade at IL o'clock precisely, in regalia,
making them look for all the world as if
just risen from slumber. "With the drapery
of their couch around them," the Sons issued
from their council.room, the procession NOV
ed slowly along, and in their route, passing
by Deacon As house, the strains Of
music and the sound Of feet, awoke him
from his dreams. Drawing his curtain aside,
he saw the ghostly order filing by and rap
idly concluded the day of judgment was at
hand. Calling to his wife and children, he
exclaimed: There, there, the day of judg-
ment is come! The spirits of the dead Meth
odist graveyard are going to join the spirits
in the, Lutheran, graveyard, aud none of
you are ready but me. 1told you it would
be so!' .;

days ago at one of our Justice Courts. Bill
Cummings, an Irishman by birth, but na-
tioe of New Orleans by choice, was witness
in squatter case, and was subjected to a
severe cross.examinatiou by the counsel on
the opposite side. Everybody knows Bill, and
knows his ways, and Bill knows almost eve
rybody. He was much harrassed and sur
prised at the temerity of the disciple of Coke
and Blackstone for his impudence in trying
to corner him, and sometimes was short in
his answers. c., the lawyer, asked Bill
for the six or seventh time which way GER
tain flight of stairs ran. Bill fixed upon the
Judge most impforing look, but did not
answer. The question was.repeated.
ANSWER the question, Mr.. Cummings
said the Judge; and Bill, turning to the
lawyer, with his large red face streaming
with perspiration, said
