A CONSCIENTIOUS DUTCHMAN.-One
Of the most conscientious Dutchmen
ever known was partner in a commits
sion house in Cincinnati, and some
times sold some of the merchandise
when the proprietors were ABSENT
He was a good salesman and a pretty
good Judge of money, but in one of
his sales he took in very suspicious
looking five dollar bill, and when the
book keeper took it to the bank, the
bank refused il and pronounced it
spurious, but said it was an excellent
imitation. The book keeper returned
it to the porter, and told him to re-
turn it to the party of whom he recei-
we'd it. About week afterward, the
book keeper, thinking he had time to
. see the party and get another note,
asked the porter if he had returned
the spurious bill. "Well," he said,
dat man vot gave me Eat bill, he
didn't coined around already, and some
days tink de bill vas goot, and some
days | tink de bill vas bad; so one OF
dem days ,Yot Link twas goot, ]
passed him out" Too many men use
doubtful money the same way.

ing in an exchange, where it is called
"pertinent:"
awe saw a bill sticking up on a
fence yesterday, informing the people
that a fine mich COW was lost. We
enter an inhammatory protest against
the use of that word mich. Why
use it? Would you talk of the fmilch
of human kindness ?" Not very fire.
quently. How would it sound to hear
one speaking of the mich of the CO.
Goa nutY 1t would cause the hearer
to smoker louder than thunder. Then
why talk aboutmilch cows? Quit it,
The above is neither pertinent, /"
witty nor wise, but simply the out
break of ignorance. Milk is a noun
mich is an adjective, a pure Saxon
word, and signifies 9n giving milk. -
We do not talk Of the "milch in the
cocoa nut because that is not what
we mean, and we do not speak of a
"milk COW" because it would be a
barbarianism. When such ignorance
undertakes to be critical lCe feel in.
clined to cry, "Quit it."

Ups AND Downs IN LIFE.-Colonel
Meline, in his "two thousand miles on
horseback to Santa Fe and back" re-
lates the following ! nom sso55 !,
"Here lat anold mine, near Santa
Fe) | fell in with Candelaria, an aged
shepherd, who in the palmy days of
mining stumbled upon lump of gold
worth $50. Straightway," he told
me, recounting his luck, "Straightway

courtesied, and the commerciants took

Ashland, Tenn, about twelve miles
from Nashville, met with sad ca

rooted by the storm, came crashing
down the precipice and through the
house, the butt end foremost. The
mother and daughter, who were in
bed at the time, were knocked clear
out OF the house, both receiving fatal
injuries. The father was also shock
ingly bruised and battered, while a
little baby, who occupied the cradle,
was landed in the fireplace, and es.
