The Oldest Nan in the World.

We will not assert that the oldest Of
living men Is a resident Of Wisconsin,
but We challenge any other State or eOun-
to produce a man or woman who has at
tained the age reached by Joseph Crele,
now residing in the town Of Caledonia,
Columbia County, in this State.
During the. French Revolution, one
Jean Claude Jacob, a member of the Ma
tional Assembly, was called the "Dean Of
human species, the oldest Of men. On
his smeared worn face were ploughed the
furroWiugs Of one hundred and twenty
years. But our "Dean of the human
species is nearly twenty years older than
Claude Jacob, who did not complete his
tReuty-frst year.
Joseph Crele was born in Detroit, of
French parents. The record of his bap-
tism in the Catholic Church in that city
shows that he is now 139 years Of age.
He has been a resident of Wisconsin for
about a century. Whenever mention is
made Of the oldest i0habiiant, there need
be no question as to the person. Joseph
Crele is undoubtedly the man. He was
first married in New Orleans, 100 years
ago. Some years later he settled at Prai-
RE du Chen, while Wisconsin was yet
q province Of France. B-fore the revOlu-
tionary war, he was employed to carry
letters between Prairie du Chen and Green
Bay 1t is but few years ago that he
was called as a witness in the Circuit
Court, 10 q case involving a title to GER
tain real estate at Prairie du Chen, to
give testimony in relation to events that
transpirei eighty years beforel He now
resides with daughter, BY his third wife,
who is over seventy years of age.
The residence of the family is only
four or five miles out Of Portage City.
From citizens Of that place we learn that
tbe old man is still active, is able to
chop wood, and to walk several miles.
He speaks English imperfectly, but con-
verses huently in the French language.
He goes to elections, and, like a sensible
old gentleman, votes the Union ticket.
Stoops little under the burden of years,
but not more than many men at seventy.
In person, he is rather above the medium
height, spare in flesh, but showing evi-
dences of having been In his prime, a
man Of siuewy strength. Concerning
his habits, a subject of much interest in
connection with an instance of such ex-
traordinary longevity, we have been able
to learn but little, except that be IS an
inveterate smoker.-Madison Journal.

Consequences.

The game Of Consequences is played al
a table, each player being provided With
a pencil To begin: Suppose a gentle
mau is told 10 write down the qualities be
most esteems in a lady. He takes sheet
Of paper, writes down what he thinks ft,
folds it down, and hands it to his next
ueighbor, who writes at the request of his
leader, and so on until all the directions
are exhausted. Tne leader then reads the
paper aloud, and much amusement is
caused by its absurdity and inconsistency.
Let US suppose these to be the directions
OF the leader to the several players:
Write something descriptive Of lady;
a lady's name; adjectiVes descriptive of
somedistinguished man; some mans name;
mention place; subscription Of place;
a date; put speech in a lady's mouth;
make the gentleman reply; tell the eonse~
quences, and what the world said of it.
The paper being opened, its contents
might read something like this:

Miss PreciOsaIs Principles.

IN the most precise Of country villages,
in the primmest ever built, dwelt the most
precise maiden ever born, Miss Preciosa
Lockwood. Even in that serious town,
where laughter was reckoned one Of the
smaller sins, and the family in whose
dwelling lights were seen burning after
ten O'Clock were considered dissipated,
there was current joke regarding Lock
wood Cottage, which giddy girls had
dubbed The Nunnery,' and some even
went so far as to call Miss PreciOsa the
Lady SUPERIOR
Certainly convent walls never closed
themselves more grimly against mankind !,
gentle and simple, old and young. What
in many an excellent spinster has been an
afectatiOn was genuine with Miss Preci-
osa.
Long ago a pretty little cousin, who
had been her cOnfdante aud companion,
had become acquainted with rascal with
a handsome face and a serpent's soul and
had eloped with him. They heard of her
wearing velvet and diamonds, but no
wedding-ring, and driving about New
Orleans in a handsome carriage, wonder.
ed at and admired for her beauty and
Stunned for her sin. And, at last, after
a long silence about her dOiugs, faded
thing In rags came creeping at night to
Miss Preciosa's cottage, begging for Gods
sake that she would let her in to die.
Miss Preciosa did the reverse Of what
most women do. She gave sisters hand
to the poor victim-uursed her until she
died, and buried her decently, and thence
forth shut her spinster home to man. She
was barely twenty-seven, and far from
plain, but she argued thus: Something
in a stove-pipe hat and boots has wrought
this ill-all who wear those habiliments
must be tabooed.
She kept her resolution. From the
poor-house she selected a small servant
maid, not yet old enough to think of
followers As cook she kept hideOus
old female, too far advanced in years to
remember them. The milk was brought
BY a German woman. The butchers

Even a woman cut the grass in the gar
den whenit was too long, and if a man ap-
preached the gates ancient Deborah, the
cook, was sent forth to parley with and
Obstruct his approach.
Having thus made things safe, Miss
Preciosa went to New York and brought
home a dead sisters daughter, who had
hitherto been immured in a boarding
school, and the arrangements were COM
plete.
Miss Lockwood took her niece tochurcb,
also to weekly meetings. They spent af-
ternoons out with widow ladies with no
groWn-up sons, or with spinsters who re-
sided in solitary state.
The elder lady kept an Argus eye up
on her blooming niece, and bold indeed
would have been the man who dared ad-
dress her.
For her part, Miss Bella Bloom was an
ch-hypocrite. She had learned that at

Precise Bore.


Avoid in conversation all singularity of
Of accuracy. One Of the bores Of society
is the talker who is always setting you
right: who, when you report from the pa
per that 10000 men fell in some tattle,
tells you that it was {, 900; who, when J GU
describe your walk as two miles out and
back, assures you that it lacked half a
furlong of it. Truth does not consist in
minute accuracy Of detail, bat in convey
ing right impression; and there are
vague ways Of speaking thatare truer than
strict fact would be. When the Psalmist
said-'Rivers of water run down my eyes,
because men keep not the law hedid not
state the fact but be stated a truth deep

How to Rob Bee-Hives.

Asoldier arrived from Savannah, who
was through with Sherman, tells of the
trip, as reported in the Dayton Journal:
The boys learned how to rob hives
without the penalty Of singing The
plan was to rapidly approach a hive, take
it suddenly, and hOisting it upon the
shoulder, with the open end behind, to
run like thunder. The bees hustle out
and fly back to the place where the hive
stood. The honey belongs to the boys
who win it.
