Pittsburg has ITO schools, with only

The negroes of the South raised $500
900 bales OF cotton this year, worth a

seem to be as capable Of taking care of
themselves as they did of their Demo

The wife Of Milwaukee merchant
discovered an affinity for her husband s
ook-keeper, of which the young man
informed his employer, stating that they
desired to be united" and that all they
asked of him was to "interpose no OBJ
stacle." Instead Of kicking the fellow

g Old Deacon Conserve, Of Hartford,
was provided with an enormously long
handle to his countenance. One day
when he passed around the contribution
box, everybody seemed to be possessed
of an uncomfortable desire to laugh when

twenty-ninth. 1t is a question yet I'M
settled by the courts, whether a note
due on the twenty ninth could be pro-
tested before the first day Of March.

It seems that johnson can't stand an
honest man very long.
Commissioners Rollins has decided
that spirits in bond are not liable to
seizure, as are other spirits, in case of
fraud on the part of distillers. This
