were sent to the Libby for punishment.
Lancaster Turner, negro charged with
stealing wood from kimbrongh Powell, was
committed in default of surety.
John Leonard, United States soldier,
charged with selling liquor without license,
was arraigned. Roberts came up with one
side of his face much the worse for several
we'll. piled blows. He said that he went to
Leonard's house on Sunday morning and
bought liquor or Laonard's wife. He drank
until he got drunk, and Leonard beat him out
of the house. Leonard said that Roberts
called him /" Yankee son Of 4 A. and said
that he could whip any ID man in his
company. Two negro witnesses said that they
had drank Al Leonard's house often, but said
they had not paid for it. On The occasion OF
Robertss beating, "Bll KEEP on cussin' Mr..
Leonard, and Mr.. Leonard had to beat him TO

The goose is grass animal, but don't
chew her cud.
They are good livers, about | aker to

who think one geese to l75 akers, is
nearer right.
These tew calculations are so fur

will finally win.
But don't think if had a farm NV
175 akers all paid for, that i wood sell
it fur half what it wuz worth, jest
bekase it didn't hav but one geese onto
it. These critters stay well; some Of
our best biographers say 70 years, and
grow tuff to the last.
They lay one egg at once, about the
size of a goose egg, in wich the goslin
lies hid.
The gosling is the goosies babe.
The goose don't suckle his young
but turns them out to pasture on some
bOdy's vacant lot.
They seem to lack wisdum, but
are considered generally sound on the
goose.
They are good eating but not good
chawing, the reason of this remains a
profound secret to this day.
When the femail goose is at work
hatchin, she is a hard bird to pleaze, she
riles clear up from the bottom in a
mint and will fite a yoak of oxes, if
they show her the least bit ov sass.
The geese is excellent for feathers, wich
she sheds every year by the handful.
They are also amphibicus, besides
several other kinds ov cuss.
But they are mostly curiess about one
thing, they can haul one leg up into
their body, and stand on tother awl
day and not touch anything with theiI
hands.

,H,he Number Nine.

The laws governing numbers (says
the writer are so perplexing to the un-
cultivated mind, aud the results arrived
at by calculation are so astonishing that
it cannot be matter Of surprise if su-
pcrstition has attached itself to num-
bers. But even to those who are in
structed in Enumeration there is much
that is mysterious and unaccountable,
much that only an advanced mathema-
tician can explain to his own satistac-
ton. The neophyte sees the numbers
obedient to certain laws; but why they
obey these laws he cannot understand; (;
and the fact of his not being able so to
do tends to give to numbers an atmos-
phere of mystery which impresses him
with awe.

What Birds are ssFowIs >,

There is an article "going the rounds"
of the press, distinguishing fowls as
birds which take their young to their
food. The absurdity of this definition
is apparent on a moments thoughts
for, though applicable to firmyard
poultry, in distinction from the birds
of the hedge, it will not bear a more
extensive application. 1t is unfortunate
that, in English, we havs no singlesCOrd
for our barn-door or dunghill fowls.
Even the names cock and hen they
share in common with a score of other
birds from Cock-robin to Cock-turkey
-(Cockroach and Hoods Cock-mcr-
maid included)-Hen Sparrow and Pea
Hen as well. Poultry fanciers have, of
late, with an unanimity which is re-
markable, confined the use of the word
fovl to this, in English, nameless bird.

We again enter our protest against
the practice, which prevails among
some tobacco smokers, of obtrudlng
their stale smoke and villainous pipes
into public places. Ferry-boats and
street cars becoming favorite resorts Of
smokers, who complacently puff their
secondhand smoke on all sides, to the
intense disgust of all who are not ad-
dicted to the use of tobacco. Every
man has the right to smoke as much as
he chooses, buthe has no right to offend
his neighbors who don't smoke. In all
mixed assemblages there are some per-
sons to whom the smell of tobacco is
perfectly intolerable, and among this
class may be counted the majority of
ladies'. Yet the smoker, in bis selfish
enjoyment of his cigar or pipe, utterly
ignores their right to breathe the undc-
filed air, and obtrudes himself and his
smoke upon them at all times and all
seasons. 1t is getting to be almost i'm.
possible for non-smokers to ride in
either the cars or terry-boats on account
of this nuisance NJ Y. Times.

drather have horses if they didn't
have collie, which they say is wind col

era gentleman in very poor cireum-

eg-A gentleman in very poor cireum-
stances and who was devoted to the
worship of the Virgin, went to the
Church Of the Annunciation in Flor
ance to implore her aid. AS he was
leaving he saw at the entrance of the
church two blind beggars, one Of whom
was telling the other that besides the
money he had at home he had 200 gold
pistoles sewed in the crown of his hat.
The other replied that he had 500 in
his. The gentleman overhearing this,
believed himself inspired by the Virgin,
whose aid he was there to invoke, to
seize both hats and carry them of,
which he did and withdrew, greatly
gratifed with the reward of his piety.
Such is the effect of the Romish teach
ing.
