essay on "The Ok" from one of its young
contributors just as it came from his pen.
1t is so natural and spontaneous that we
doubt if Shillabar or Josh Billings could
equal it in genuine humor:
Oxen is very slow animil, they are good
to brake ground up. wood drather have
horses if they didn't have kollck, which
they say is wind collected in bunch,
which makes it dangerser to keep horses
than an OK. If thare were no horses peo-
ple wood have to wheal thare wood on
whealbarow. it wood take them to or
three days to wheal cord mile. Cows
is useful to. have herd som say that II
thay had to be tother or an OK thay wood
be a COW. But think when it cum to
have their tits pulled of cold mornln
thay wood wish thay wasn't, for oxen don't
generally have to raise caves. if he'd to
be envy wood drather be a hetfur. But
if coodcnt be heffur and he'd to be both

SpuRGEoN.-" Burleigh" writes from

in the Agricultural Hall of the crystal

persons. Admission was by tickets. de

"This immense place has been crowded,

gone away not able TO enter. All the
churches in the neighborhood have been

Last Sunday was one of the stormiest days
of the season. The heavy rain, rode on a
gale. turned umbrellas inside out, and
drenched the community generally; yet
every avenue leading to the room was
packed an hour before the doors were
open by ladies and gentlemen waiting for
admittance.
"Such sight I never saw before. Every
inch of room was occupied; more than an
acre of people was before me. The peo-
pie in the distant galleries could scarcely
be seen. Probably no other man in the
world could draw such an audience. w MT

as many, but l doubt if ever he did SO on

Old Professor Ewald, Of Gottingen Uni
versity, has reason to consider himself a
very ill-used man. He refuses to recog-
nize the King of Prussia as ruler of Han
over, and won't take the oath of allie
glance. The old gentleman expected that
his refusal would be regarded as q high
misdemeanor, and was preparing to enjoy
all the honors of political martyrdom,
when, to his great modification, he was
officially informed that the Prussian ah-
thorities were entirely Indifferent about
his taking the oath. He might swear or
not and mean while his salary would be
paid from the Prussian treasury. This is
certainly martyrdom, but not the sort CO.
veted by the old gentleman, who doesn't
relish being made the laughing-stock OF
Germany.
In Salem, Mass, during thunder storm
one day last week, a young man had q

coat was somewhat torn, and the wrist
band of his flannel shirt hung only in a
shred, while the sleeve was partly thrown
open. The steel buckles on his shoes were
untouched, but the tops of his stockings
were completely unraveled.

REMARKABLE SToRY.-A Memphis paper

REMARKABLE SToRY.-A Memphis paper
prints a story which, if true, records one
of the most remarkable occurrences OF the
day. A young physician of Memphis fell
in love with beautiful courtezan, who had
q lover she liked better than she did Fer
guson. Meeting in drinking saloon one
night, Ferguson shot and killed his rival,
was arrested, but subsequently released,
went to Nashville, but love for the bad
woman caused him to return to Memphis.
The courtezan, mean while, maddened by
the death of her lover, determined to lead
Ferguson to certain destruction. She feted
and flattered him, but all the while was
preparing his ruin. One night Ferguson
went to a saloon to see this modern Bor-
gia. was introduced to Yonker, one of her
accomplices, and while in the act of drink
ing a glass of wine, at signal from the
woman. Ferguson was stabbed in the breast
by Yorker. With a quick bound he placed
himself in corner of the room, and draw
ing navy-sized revolver he shot Ionker
dead lust as the would-be assassin at
tempted to fire at him with Derringer
pistol. The courtezan, foiled in her de-
signs, fired at Ferguson, who fell, covered
with blood, in the corner where he stood
at bay. Excited at the sight of blood, the
woman continued her shots, woundlng Fer
guson in four places. She then rushed
upon him with a knife, and just as the keen
point touched his body, he fired fatal shot,
and the woman fell upon her once-loved
paramour Q corpse.

work can be done readily and most etfec-

the front of a house is speedily made to

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RADICAL

Tur DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RADICAL

TENN Banner gives the following as the
observation of q shrewd colored citizen Of
that place as to the distinction between q
Radical and q Conservative, which will
probably "meet the case" in some local.
ties nearer home. The Banner says:
One Of the shrewdest Of our old colored
citizens, who knows on which side his
bread is buttered, and has a hearty con-
tempt for the little pretenders and the
ragamufIins that seek to control him, oo-
served the other day: The difference
between Conservative gentleman ana Q
Radical sneak is this: The Conservative
meets me, and says Good morning, ana
asks me how Pm getting on, ana mas q
cheerful word, and finally gives me coi-
lar for old acquaintance sake, and promises
me a lob If I'll call around. The Radical
meets me, smiles, and bows politely, taxes
INV hand as if he thought he was doing me
a favor. and then asks me to SUBSCRIBE
quarter to some hocus-pocus society or
league which he's just got up, or Is gong
to get up. If give him the quarter, thats
the last / see of him or the money"

BosToS ACCURATELY DEsCRIBED.-Bos-
ton will be greatly disguised when it learns
that Lord Lorne, the latest English ira
weller in this country who has published an
account of his travels, pronounces it to be
a detestable place, and actually tells the
world that its people seemed to him "hard,
bitter, relentless, and wanting IN the ne
roic virtues of generosity and magma
nimity." For an English Lord to speak in
this way is more than Boston should be
called upon to endure. The very fact,
however, that such a terrible excoriatlon
comes from such source may lead Bos-
ton to inquire, with something like fervor'
whether there is any foundation for the
charges.-Ne,c York Times.
