as pitch, and my umbrella at the store,

miles due west, and the nurse six miles

of rain, in the country, take what is
left in a mans pocket, no discount for

terrible drudgery. The opening, ex-

GE An old farmer who had two
handsome daughters, would not permit
them to keep the company of young
men. After the old man had retired to
rest, the girls would hang sheet out
of the window, and each beau, with the
assistance of his lady, who tugged ,lus-
tily above, would thus gain an entrance.
1t SO happened that one evening the
girls hung out the sheet too early, and
the old gentleman spying the article
could not conjecture the meaning of it.
SO he caught hold and endeavored to
pull It down. The girls supposing It
to be one of their fellows, began hoist
ing, and did not, discover the mistake
until the old mans head was even with
the window sill, when one of them ex.
claimed :" Oh, lord, it's dad r. and let

gentleman to the ground, dislocating
his shoulder. Withdrawing all oppo-

" Stop Herr

A GAINESVILLE man, one of that class
of individuals who are always "fiat
broke" had occasion to come to Co.
lumbus one day last week, and made
up his mind, as preliminary, that he
would travel ON his good looks. Har-
ing thus decided, he took a seat in the
splendid saloon cars of the Central
Ohio Railroad, putting on as many airs
as If he "had a pocket full of rocks. ;"
The GAINESVILLE Signal gives the follow
ing record of the incidents en- route.
The train had nearly reached Claypoors 8
before the Conductor, whom we will
call Jones, had reached our dead head
friend in his round Of collecting tickets
and fares. "Your ticket, if you please -
said the Conductor. Haven't any,"
said dead-head. "Whcre are you go
ing?" inquired the Conductor. "Co-
lumbus," replied dead-head. "s2.10,"
said Jones. Haven't nary a stamp
remarked our dead-head acquaintance.
You must pay your fare or get off the
train," said the Conductor. "Stop
her." quietly remarked dead-head.
The train was stopped, and he was
left on the side Of the road, to await,
as he said, the next train, on which he
succeeded in getting. The same scene
transpired, ending by dead-head telling
the Conductor to ''stop her." and he
being again left on the side of the road
Train after train was boarded, and each
put him off little nearer Columbus
The last train on which he got was that
of our friend Jones, who was on his
return trip from Bellaire to Columbus
Dead head got on his train at Pataskala
and it was under full headway before
being discovered by the Conductor.
"Going to Columbus again, sup.
pose," remarked Jones. g Haven't
been there yet" said dead-head, "1
can't get to ride more than slN miles
before they put me off. / don't think
I'll have to get on more than one OF
two trains after your'n before Colum-
bus will be the putting off place
"Well, do you think we can carry you
unless you pay your fare 2" inquired
Jones. "Stop her. quietly remarked
dead head. "Well, do think" said
Jones, " of all brassy individuals / have
ever met, you rather head them all
I'll take you there for your internal
impudence," nothing else," and dead

before.

small pieces, SO that they may never be
read, and from the chopping knife they
go to the paper mill The great ma
jority of these letters are lost through
the carelessness of the writer's, and it
surpasses the power Of imagination to
know how people can be so careless j:
especially when they send large sums
Of money. Nearly fifty eight thousand
letters came to this Office, inclosing
bills or checks or bonds. And how
much do you suppose these letters con-
tanned? Over three millions and half
of dollars One letter contained two
one thousand dollar bills, it was re-
turned to the writer Another had two
hundred and fifty dollars in it, but no.
thing to show the name of the writer.
Fortunately, the post-mark was only
partially obliterated, and could still be
read. The letter came from Chicago,
was re-mailed and advertised, and the
owner came forward, saying that when
he sent the money he was in so much
of a hurry he forgot to add the name.
The most valuable letter, or rather
package, that turned up "dead," CON
tanned bonds worth over $4,000.
All sorts of curious articles go there
I was standing by the other day, when
the first letter contained twenty five
dollars; soon after two packages Of
medicine came along. Sometimes duns
daguerreotypes, postage-stamps bed
bugs, even snakes, bottles, etc, came
through this general repository. 1t is

EF Brigham Young is reported to

EF Brigham Young is reported to
have 1856 wives, Silas Roeder 129, Jere-
miah Stern Ill, Job Billensen 93. in
lius Hoffman 80, Habacue Croatzy 81.
and Gideon Rufian 81. These gentle
men are the nobilities of Salt Lake.
Brigham's oldest wife is not over 40.
and his youngest not above Ia, while
he is the survivor Of no fewer than %
spouses. Silas Roeder, the next in
authority among the saints, as might
be supposed, is so apt to forget the
names of his wives, that he has to call
them by numbers. The masses in the
Mormon country have only one wife,
and the average do not exceed two Or
three piece. Brigham Young is the
reputed father of 245 children, of whom
80 are dead. The surviving balance Of
213 consists of S5 boys and 128 girls.
Silas Roeder is thrice and Jeremiah
Stern nine times Brigham's brother-in-
law, these worthless having respectively
married three and nine sisters Of their
chiefs wives. .,,s.e
