Police, with the photograph of gem

beard has grown to the mcnstrous
length of six feet within the last seven

CURE FOR EAR ACuE.-Take small
piece ofcotton or wool, make depression
in the centre with the end of the finger.
and fill it with as much ground pepper
as will rest Oh silver five cent piece,
provided you know what that ancient
coin looked like when it was in usel or
the point of a small sized table knife,
gather it into ball and secure 1t so that
the pepper will not get out, dip he ball
into sweet oil and insert 1t into the ear,
covering the latter with cotton or wool,
and use a bandage to keep it In place.
Immediate relief will be experienced,
and the application is so powerless for
harm that an infant will not be injured
by it. Try it ye sufferers from that
most disagreeable and annoying disease.

AN EXAMPLE OF RECONSrRUCrlON
Those Radicals who are casting their
eyes upon Cuba, st. Thomas, Tcrre del
Fuego, and other outlying countries,
as subjects for future Reconstruction,
are hereby warned that the republic
of Columbia is fully reconstructed, and
is at the very head of civilization, even
according to the most advanced Radi-
cal standard. At "a recent meeting in
that favored country, gentleman,
who for some time resided in the U. S.,
expressed the hope that the adoption
Of American institutions would soon
place Columbia on level with the
great republic. He was summarily
levelled by the following speech from
fully reconstructed Columbian. We
quote from the Panama Star:
Mr. President; In proposing that
we should adopt North American In
stitutions, in order that we may rank
amongst the most civilized nations of
the world, our friend IL merely repeat
Ing vulgarism against which | do
most solemnly protest. We are rep
resented az AN uncivilized people; but,
sir, II to do what the Americans have
done is to be civilized, then we are civ
ilized: If to have done it before them Is
to be ahead of them, then We are at the
head Of civilization. For what do the
Americans boast of" They have but
recently abolished slavery; we have
abolished slavery long ago! They have
just proclaimed the equality of races,
and are trying to hold up the negro |;
we have proclaimed that equality and
held up the negro long ago. They have
only finished their first civil war, rem
dered money scarce, and made Il paper
dollar not worth dollar. We have
had dozens of civil wars; have render
ed money scarce, and made paper dol
lars not worth dollar, long ago. They
are beginning to tear up their Consti
tuition, impeach their President, set up
dictators; we have done all that long
ago. They are at last going to the dew
II AS fast as they can we have gone to
the devil long ago.
Go on, Messrs. Stevens and company
and ere long Columbia cannot throw II
into your teeth that she is ahead of our
own republic in the great work OF re.
construction outside fthe Constitution
and considerably outside of ofcivii1ation.

In certain family, not long since, u
pair of twins made their appearance,
and as matter OF course, We're shown
to their little sister offour years. Now,
it so happened that whenever rather
prolific cat of the household had kittsns,
one of them, of course the prettieSt, WAS
saved, and the rest drowned, When
the twins were shown the child by their
happy father, little NJ looked at
them long and earnestly, and at length
putting her little flnger-tip on the check
of one of them, looked up, and said,
with all the seriousness possible Papa,
"Ihink We'W sdre this one"

POTATOES FOR PLANTING time
for planting potatoes will soon be upon
Us, and the question what kinds to
plant, and how TO plant them, In order
to secure a crop, will have to be deter
aimed. The failure of all kinds usually
raised in this county will compel many
farmers to purchase new kinds, and the
sooner they make up their minds the
better will it be for them. We would
suggest the proprlety of getting several
kinds and planting them apart, for the
purpose of testing their adaptability to
the soil, climate, etc. The ground should
be thoroughly plowed and narrowed
before planting. The practice of plant
Ing behind the plough on sward land
has proved II failure, so far as securing
good crop is concerned.

GIRIs.-Thcre are two kind of girls.
one IS the kind that appears the best
abroad, the girls that are good for par
ties rides, visits, balls, ETC., and whose
chief delight Is in such things. The
other is the kind that appears best at
home, the girls that are useful and
cheerful in the dining room, sick room
and all the precincts of home. They
differ widely In character. One Is often
torment at home, the other blessing;
one is Il moth, consuming everything
about her, the other is n sunbeam, In

modify both little, and thus unite the

And he n handsome rlgtall wore;
Hat wondered much aud sorrowed more.
Because 1t hung behind him.
He mus'd upon this curious case,
And swore he'd change the pigtail. place,
And have II hanging at his fi,ce,
Not dangling there behind him.
says he, "Thc mystery I've found;
I'll turn me round" lie turned him round
But still 1t hung behind him.
Then round and round and out and in,
All day the puzzled sage did spin;
In vain--it mattered not pin
1he pigtail hung behind him
And right and left, and round about
And up and down, and in and out,
He turned; but still the pigtail stout
Hung steadily behind him.
And though his efroits never slack;
And though he twist and twrl, and tack;
Alas! still faithful to his back
Tho pigtai hangs behind him.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
Where The Laugh Comes In.

IOM SHERIDAN was staying at lord
Craven's, ut Hampstead, and one day
proceeded on shooting excursion, with
only "his dog and his gum" oil foot,
and unattended by companion OF keep
or. The sport was bad the birds few
and shy; and he walked and walked
in search of game, until at last he pass
ed through iarm-yard. In front OF
the farmhouse was green, in the CEN
tire of which was pond In the pond
( were ducks innumerable, winning
and diving on its verdant banks, q
motley group of gallant cocks and pert
partlets, picking and feeding. The far.
mer was leaning over the hatch on the
barn, which stood near two cottages on
the side Of the green.
Our hero had an utter abomination of
going back with an empty bag. Hav-
ing failed in his attempt at higher game
il struck him that 1t would be joke to
ridicule the exploits Of the day himself,
and prevent any of his amiable friends
from doing it for him and he fancied
that to carry home certain number Of
the domestic inhabitants Of the pond
and its vicinity would serve the pur.
pose admirably. Accordingly, he walk
ed up to the farmer, and accosted him.
"My good friend, !" said he, "I'll make
you an offer"
"Of what, sir" replied the farmer.
"Why," answered Tom, ~ have been
out all day after birds, and havn't had
shot. Now, both my barrels are
loadel; should like to take home
something. What shall give you to
allow me to have shot, with each bar.
rel, at these ducks and fowls see stand
ing here, and to have whatever / kill?"
"What sort of shot are you, sir?"
as led the farmer, in his politest man
ner.
"Fairish," )" said our friend.
"And to have all you kill, ehP"
"Exactly So"
"Halfn guinea"
"That is too much," said the sports
man. ~ tell you what ! will do; I'll
give you seven shillings, which hap
pens to be all the money have about
me.'
| "Well ,"s said the man, "hand II over"
The payment was made. Tom, true
to his bargain, took his post by the
barn door, and discharged his gun, first
one barrel and then the other. Such
quacking, and splashing, and scream
ing, and tiutterng, had never been seen
and heard In the place before.
Away ran Sheridan and, delighted
at his success, picked up first hen.
then chicken, then ilshed out dying
duck or two. and 80 on, till ho number
cd eight head Of domestic game, with
which his bag was nobly dlstended.
"Those are capital shots, Air." said
the farmer.
"Hes,' answered Tom, "eight ducks
; and fowls are more than you hargained
for, my good fellow. Worth rather
: more, suspect, than seven shillings,
oh 4"
"Why, yes" said the man, scratching
: his head; II think they are. But
; what do care for that They are none
Of them mine"
