A Good Joke.

We recently heard this good ohei
which has never been in print -
Last winter, Lutte Taylor, of the
Prescott Journal, was travelling in
the stage with party of gentlemen,
among whom was noted demo-
cratic politician from Minnesota,
now candidate for State Office
The day was intensely cold, and
the company were obliged to stop
occasionally to warm up. Hating
at a little inn by the roadside, tho
democrat invited Lutte up to drink
OF whisky, to which he readily as
sented, and Us Lutte was both dry
and cold. he turned cut q pretty
stiff "horn, swallowed it instanter,
and repaired at once TO the stove to
thaw cut. Lute's free and easy
style suited the democrat to a dot,
and after freely imbi5ing himself,
he walked up TO Lutte and said s!
I'll bet any man ten dollars that
you are good democrat"
As Lutte is an awful radical this
touched his pri dc, and he replied
in his usual stammering style: 81

NEW MATERIAL FOR PAPER,---i
The high cost OF rags for the man,
ufacture Of paper has led 10 long
continued and costly attempts TO
substitute other articles, such as
wood, straw, bamboo, cornstalks,y
husks, &C., but owing to the grea.
expense for chemicals and machin-
cry necessary tor converting tho
materials into pulp, the ccet of pa
per has not to any considerable ox-
tent been reduced. II isI now al
legged that the okra plant, which
grows luxuriantly in all parts Of
the United States, possesses all the
requisites for making. every de-
scrlption Of paper, from tho COM
mon wrapping to the finest book or
bank note paper, either sized or
non-sized, without the addition OF
any other material whatever, Il is
claimed that this has been practl-
cally demonstrated, and that the
discoverer has, within the past few
months, manufactured by the mos:

of papers which, although made
under very unfavorable circum-
stances. possess all the characters.
