A stunnin, Pedigree.

Whenever man presents himself for
Office, the press Of the country begin to cast
around for his "record," anecdotes. etc.
concerning him The Elizabethtown Ne1os,
noticing the candidacy of Tom Buckner for
Tax Assessor of his county, relates the
following; During the war several mem
bers of the Ninth Confederate Kentucky
Cavalry were standing around a camp fire
discussing the pedigrees of their various
horses The Blue Grass Boys" famous
everywhere else for their fine stock were
equally so in the army, and never missed
chance TO crow over the " Wiregrass Boys"
as Doc. Brown used to call the soldiers from
his section of the State. After several had
given the pedigFees Of their steeds, and
Dragged considerably on the purity of their
stock, "Old Tom Buckner" said, Well,
boys, the pedigree Of my horse amt much
for length, but for purity I viii put it against
the world. He is by Difficulty, ut of a
Tennessee stable"

A BRIDE BACKS OUT.

The Cleveland Herald says that few
daysago young man, evidently ofrus-
tic birth, called .at the Probate office,
about ten O'Clock i'll the morning, and
procured Il marriage license, which was
"signed, sealed and delivered'' in pro-
per form. In the afternoon he again
appeared, accompanied by young la
dy. He approached the robust deputy,
and the following colloquy ensued: II
say, mister, You guy me a license to git
married this morning." Yes, sir,
rccollect the circumstadce; is there
anything wrong about it? ?" 'W-a-a-l,
no. growing red in the face and with
much hestancy, "there's nothing the
matter of that ere dockyment, but lin
an undertone) the fac is that the girl
has backed out, and this ere one (point-
ing to his companion) is going to take
her place. | suppose III! have to get a
new license, and | want you to make it
out quicker'n lightnin', as we are go;n'
to get hitched this afternoon" The
secondary license was issued. and as
the irrepressible youth, who was evil

that day, reached the door, he inquired,

CRAWLED UP.

Not long since gentleman found in
his hennery a simple minded soul of
the vicinity, who lived without any Wis.,
lble means OF support.
"W hat are you doing here, you ras-
cal! Stealing my chickens ?"
mo. sir; i llthought of dom nothin of
the sort"
1t unfortunately happened that the
supplemented individual wore a high
straw hat, of dimensions of 4 bee hive
and the crown thereof was dilapidated
to serious extent. just as he had put
in his denial, the head of half grown
pullet was seen to protrude from the APP
erture.
''See there" said the gentleman,
show did that chicken get into your
hat ~
"Well," exclaimed the simple mind
ed individual, with an air of honest sur
prise and embarrassment, "that is the
strangest thing that ever happened to
me. | spose the darned critter must
have crawled up my trousers legs"

A GOOD STORY.

This happened at the Utica restaI.
rant. A man entered the other day
and called for diAner. His orders were
.of the most elaborate character, and
fairly staggered the resources of even a
Utica res taurant keeper. lie fingered
ior e at the table, and iually wound ur
with bottle of wine. Then lighting d
cigar he had orderedf lcisurely saunter-
ed up to the counter and said to the
proprietor: "Very fine dinner, land
lord; just charge it to me, haven't got
cent
''But | don't know you," said the
proprietor, Indignantly.
"Ot course you don't. If you had,
yoa wouldn't let me have the dinner
Pay me for the dinner, | saw
"Ard say can't. Haven't got the
blunt"
"I'll see about that" said the propri-
etor, somewhat furious at the ..bilk -
Then he snatched a revolver out of a
drawer and leaped over the counter.
collariEg the man, exclaiming, as he
pointed it at his head.
"Now see if youll get away with that
dinner, without paying for it, you
scoundrel."
Nv hat is that you hold in your hand

drawing back,
"That, sir, is revolver, SIR"
"Ol, that's revolver, is it! I don't
