A FULL HAND.-Thc good old times
are not gone forever. Here is an incident:
On the recent trip of a Mississippi steam.
boat, the clerk had allotted the last state
room and was about to close his Office,
when he was astounded by the apparition
of a tall Missourian, who exclaimed "T
say, stranger, want one Of them cham

"Sorry, sir" said the official, blandly,
"but our state rooms are all TAKEN .aoa.,
"Thc ID they arc" responded Mis-.
souri; GIVE paid my fare n / want one

"Allow me to see your ticket" said the
still polite clerk. Putting his hand to the
back of his neck the passenger pulled out
a ten-inch .bowie-knifc, and driving it quiv-
ering into the counter said 'sIm from
Pike county, young fellcr, and thar's my
ticket; want one of them chambers" & %
Before the steel had ceased to yibrate
the prompt clerk quietly thrust a loaded
and capped six-shootcr under Pixies nose,
and coolly answered: "Pvc only got six
chambers, and you see they are all. fsN."'

MEAN NAND SpITEFUL.-Prcsident Grant
may be great man, says the Arizona MI.
uer, but his acts, since his almost miracu.
lous elevation, do not prove that he is.
Great men, in all ages and countries, have
been noted for their magnanimity. In
fact, magnanimity is one Of tho attributes
Of great men, Yet the kcencst prospcctor
for greatness in our military President
would We think, fail to find the color.
Extreme military harshness crops out of the
veins of this modern Attilia as boldly and
plainly as the rock out of some of our
quartz lodcs, and nothing but contact with
forgiving, civilized people, will ever
abrade his hard lines, and smooth and dig
Nifty his unforgiving, iron-clad nature.
The latest act of petty strife with which he
stands charged, is the removal, from some
petty Office in East Tennessee, of Andrew
johnson, Jr., son Of the cx-President.
No former President would have been
guilty of such mean, spitcful act, and We
earnestly hope that Ulysses was drowsy or
tired when he did it. ~r

Chloroform-The Thing Ladies Get
- Ii TiRht On. N LII .i i =

The extent to which the hibit Of the se-
cret use Of chlorof0rm prevails to-day among
all classes Of women, from the inmates
Of the shameless haunts Of Greene street
to the bellies Of the Fifth avenue, and the
pupils Of fashionable boardiug.schools, is
known to few except the apothecaries who
supply the deadly drug. For deadly it
is; aud though its poison is sometimes
as swift as the cobra's it is at others slow
in its vengeance, reaching through years Of
misery, but always sure and inevitable.
We hear with terrible frequency Of sudden
deaths from chloroform, "taken only to
allay head ache;" but we do not hear of
the wreck Of the brain and the ruin Of the
nervous system, which its babitual use
surely brings about The swiftness with
which it produces its dreamy intoxication
and the few apparent traces which it leaves
behind, made it u favorite with women who
know nothing of its ungovcrnablc force, of
its cumulative effects, and of its terrible
dangerous nature Its use is far more de-
precated than that of alcohol or opium, the
effects Of which can easily be foretold
Chloroform, on the contrary, is as subtitle
and sudden in its wayward vengeance as
the most treachcrous and dangerous of the
women who use it. The dose that was
seemingly innocuous yesterday, may, if
repeated, bring swift and rcsisties death
to-day, and though the penalty should be
delayed, it is certain to be inflicted sooner
or later. When, year or two ago,
writer charged American women with
drunkenness, the charge was easily re-
PEELED; for the delicate organization of
the refined lady instinctivcly and notorious
ly shuns the rude grasp Of alcohol. The
charge that chlorotorm is largely used by
women, is, however, lamcntably true. 1t
is generally used in ignorance Of its nature
and ultimate effects, but the sad disgrace
full fact that it is habitually employed to
an alarming extent, as all aid to female
drunkenness, cannot be gainsaid.-New
York World.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1869-08-28

DANAs LAST CANDIDATE.-The New
York San is determined to outrack every
body and everything in announcing candi-
dates for the Presidential chair. 1t no,n-
mates Anson Burlingame for President iu
1873. After this announcement, it in-
du'gcs in the following prophetic rapture:
"What glorious picture opens to the
prophetic mind. A mandarin of the high
est possible number of buttons in the Pres
idcntial chair, with perhaps the learned
and venerable Sun-Tejan, aud Chih-Tazcn
only next inferior in buttons, for Sccreta-
ry of State and Secretary of the Navy re-
spectively. China, if not Asia, will then
DO annexed, and the Hon. Horace Greeley
will 60 to England as Minister, with a
chest Of American grown tea in each pock-
ct of his old white overcoat. The vision
cheers if not incbriatcs.

THINK FOR YoURsELvEs.--It is always
best to think first, for ourselves, on any
subject, and then to have recourse to 9TH
ers for the correction or improvement Of
our sentiments. Thus We may reach truth
which We never should have observed mad
we caught particular mode of reasoning
from an author. No principle should be
received from education or habit merely.
Let men observe before pcrsuing the opin-
ions of others. We check original thought
by first learning how and what to think
from others. The strength of others should
be called to assist our weakness, not to pre-.
vent the cxertion of Four powers. BY means
of this dependence upon books, error as
we'll as truth dcscends in hereditary sue
cessiOn.
