HOW TO GET A WIFE.

Jacob Strawn, of Jacksonville, ILL.,,
was, during his lifetime, the largest
farmer i'll Illinois, and very eccentric
man. The circumstances of his mar
riage were as follows:
Outside of Jacksonville, couple of
miles, perhaps, there lived quite res
pectable family. This family employed
servant girl. Ora :eful and neat in
the extreme, and possessing Il very fair
share of intelligence, this girl was q
match for whomsOever might take her
unto himself. Jacob saw this flower
and determined to possess it. One day
he rode up to the door of the residence
of the fair maid, alighted from his horse,
and knocked with the butt end of his
whip. The lady of the house answered
his summons, and Immediately upon
her making her appearance, Jacob asked
for the servant girl.
The servant girl came. Said Jacob
81 want wife, and have picked you out
as the most proper person for that po-
sition that L can possibly find. I've
never spoken to you before, but then
that makes no difference. I'll give you
one week to consider
The girl blushed aud was dumbfound-
ed. Jacob mounted his horse and rode
away. The girl inquired into Mr..
StraWIs character ana standing, ana
was advised by those with whom she
lived to accept the offer of his hand.
Punctually, week later, Jacob rode up
to the door and knocked again with his
whip and asked:
lis it no, or yes? ?"
Blushingly and while tears traced
each other down her rosy cheeks, the
girl answered in low tone, but quite
distinctly:
''Yes."
"Well," said Jacob, ''let's see; we'll
get married the day after tomorrow,
Wednesday. Here's some money to
buy a wedding outfit" and he threw
her purse containing a thousand dol
lars. The couple did get married OH
Wednesday, and no happier pair, dur
ing their lifetime, was to bc met with
III the State of Illinois.

Although the ''flush times" have pass
ed away OH the Mississippi, they still
have some queer and sometimes rough
customers on the river boats. On n re-
cent trip of the ''Highflyer," crowded
with passengers, the clerk had allotted
the last state-room, and was about.tO
close his office when he was astonished
by the apparition of a tall Missourian,
who exclaimed: Il say, stranger, l want
one of them chambers" 'Sorry, sir, J"
said the official blandly, but our state
rooms are all taken" ''The ID they
are,'" responded Missourian 1--WE paid
my f;are'n / want wun of them cham
bers." ALLOW me to see your ticket,
said the polite clerk. Putting his hand
to the back of his neck the passenger
pulled out ten-inch bowie-knife, and
driving it into the counter, said: "fm
from Pike county, and thar's my ticket.
/ want wuh of them chambers" Before
the steel had ceased to vibrate the
prompt clerk quietly thrust a loaded
and capped six-shooter under Pixies
nose, and cooIly answered: Give only
got six chambers and you see they are
all .fttyr' The Missourian edged out OF
range" and putting up his ''tOOthpick,'
calculated: "A full hands good
by" and strobe off to to seek such
quarters as he could find.

MANUFACTURED PoPULARITY.-A let
ter from Paris, III the New York Times,
saws that much of the enthusiasm ex-
hibited toward the Emperor Napoleon
and the Empress, while in the public
places of the city, is manufactured, and
comes from persons specially engaged
and paid for the purpose. The govern
ment has in its pay body of 1900 men,
who precede or accompany the imperial
family i'll all its expeditions. They re-
ceive about two dollars day besides
their travelling expenses, and they con-
tinually change their disguises so as to
avoid observation. Their business is to
prepare for the reception of their Maj
estes, to get up an enthusiasm when the
population is discontinued or indilTer~
ent, to watch for the first evidence of
plots against the life of the Emperor,
and to surround his person when they
have reason to apprehend that All at
tempt is about to be made against il.
This force is quite distinct from what is
called the secret police, and has sepa-
rate organization and chiefs of its own.
When, therefore, the minister talks OF
1.-THE noble example of courage and con-
tidence" which was given by their Maj
estes on the occasion of the recent ri
OTIS, the fact was that at every step OF
their progress they were surrounded by
a little army of spies aud defenders,
who not only made themselves hoarse
by cheering, but kepta lynx-eyed watch
on the movements of all the persons in
the crowd whose manner or appearance
suggested motives for suspicion.

THE NATIONS WITHOUT FIRE.-Ac-
cording to Pliny fire was a long time
unknown to the ancient Egyptians, and
when Exodus, the celebrated astrono-
mer, showed it them, they were abso-
luteo in rapture. The Persians, Pho
nicians, Greeks, and several other ma
tons, acknowledged that their ances-
tors were once without the use of fire,
and the Chinese confess the same of
their progeniiors. Pompanion,. Mola,
Plutarch, and other ancients, speak of
nations who, at the time they wrote
Ii ew not the use of fire, or had just
learned it. Facts of the same kind are
also attested by several modern nations.
The inhabitants of the Marian Islands,
which were discovered in 1851, had 10
idea of fire. Never was astonishnent
greater than theirs when they saw it on
the desert of Magellan, In one of their
islands. AT first they believed it was
some kind of an animal that fixed to
and fed upon wood. The inhabitants
of the philippine and Canary islands
were formerly equally ignorant. Arr

A TALK wfTH ssOLD BEN. WADE.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial has been interviewing ex-
Senator Wade since his return from
California, with the following result:
'tMr. Wade, what are your impress
sions respecting the Chinese -
Il think the more we have of them
the better. All accounts of those who
have employed them concur in conced-
| ing TO them habits of honesty, industry,
and temperance"
"Why, then, do the laws of the Paci-
: fic States discriminate against them!"
1T is the. old story of political oppO-
sition, of precisely the same character
as that which on this side has opposed
the .niggcr.' The Democratic polite
ians have passed laws in California dis
terminating against the people to please
the Irish, who, with other -unskillful
laborers, fear the competition of these
Chinese"
Are not their habits repulsive to our
people 2"
'.On the contrary, they are extremely
neat, performing their frequent ablu-
tionS with great care. They are dociie,
honest, and never known to get intoX-
icated. An old friend of ours, with his
wife, who have long been residents of
California, came with us on our return
trip. They left their household and

servants, who had been with them ten
years and felt entire confidence in them.
They assured us that in the employment
of this people was to be found the solu-
| ton of the vexed question about do
mestic help"
But do you really think it would be
advisable to admit them to citizenship
in this country ?"
Il doA't know that they desire to be-
come citizens. They ask to be protected
equally with others by the laws, and to
be permitted to testify in courts of JUS
| tice. But if they are as represented
honest, temperate, and industrious
why should we refuse to admit them to
citizenship?
'.They are reared in monarchical ira
ditions."
mo more so than thousands from
Europe TO whom we make no such OBJ
jection.- Still, l find great many who
are in favor of encouraging their emf
grafton to this country who are opposed
to making them citizens"

THEY WoNT TROUBLE You LONG,
Children grow up-nothing on earth
grows so fast as children. It was but
yesterday, and that lad was playing
with tops, buoyant boy. He is man,
and gone now. There is no more child
hood for him or for us. Life has claim
ed him. When a beginning is made it
is like travelling a stocking; stitch By
stitch gives way till all is gone. The
house has not u child in it-there is no
more noise in the hall-boys rushing
pell-mell; it is very orderly now. There
are no more skates, sleds or balls left
scattering about. Things are neat
now. There is no delay for sleepy
folks there is no longer any task, be-
fore you lie down, of looking after chill
dren and tucking up the bed clothes.
There are no disputes to settle, nobody
to get off to school, no complaint, no
opportunities for impossible things, no
rips to mend, no fingers to tie up, no
faces to be washed, or collars to be ar
ranged. There never was such peace in
tbs house. 1t would sound like music
to have some feet to chatter down the
front stairs. Oh for some children's
noise. What used to all US, that we
were hushing their loud laugh, checking
their noisy frolic, and reproving their
slamming and banging the doors P

NUMBER 30.
KANSAS.

We clip the following very clever no
tics Of our State from that sprightly aud
well-posted paper, the Quincy Qh.J
Journal:
Kansas Is one of the live States of
this Union. Having gone through the
fiery ordeal of civil strife, the atrocities
of which were equaled only by the war
of the rebellion, she came out purified,
with brave men who settled on her soil
from principle, and maintained their
honor to the end of the struggle. AS
much as has been said about ''bleeding
Kansas and the internal emigrant aid
societies, We believe from personal OBJ
servatiOn of early scenes in Kansas, that
no State was ever settled with class of
people equal to them. 1t mattered not
whether they came through the aid so
cieties, or of their own action, they were
bona fde settlers, determined to devel-
OPP the resources of the State and ttedi-
cate it to freedom. 1t is that same old
element that retains the controlling in
fluence there now. 1t is for that reason
that we find this young and growing
State foremost in all the liberal reforms
of the day. They are now farther adj
vanced on the woman suffrage question
than any other, and it is believed that IL
will require but one more trial to bring
If. 1t is somewhat strange that we now
look TO the West for advanced ideas,
having been i'm the habit of looking for
them in different direction. But it is
nevertheless true. They have live men
out there, and support some of the best
local papers that can be found i'm any
State of the Union. In fact, Kansas is
State, above ali others, that the nation
should be proud of, and her selfssacri-
.k1lI n.
shiys in defense of their homes and the
great principles of freedom, deserve all
honor and credit from the hearts and
hands of the American people.

A Rows. CoMposlrrox ox Cons,

A BoYs's COMPOSITION on CoRNs.-
Corns are of two kinds, vegetable and
animal. Vegetable corns grow in rows,
and animal corns grow ON toes. There
are several kinds of corns there is uni
corn, capricorn, corn dodgers, field corn
and toe corn, which IL the corn that you
feel most. It is said, believe, that GO
pliers like corn, but a person having
corns don't want to ego fur" If he can
help 1t. Corns have Kernels, and many
colonies have corns. Vegetable corn
grows on the ear, but animal corn grows
on the feet, at the other end of the body.
Another specimen of corn is the acorn,
these grow oaks, but there Is no hoax
about the corn. The acorn is corn
with an indefinite article, but the toe
corn is a very definite article indeed.
Try aud see il. Many q IMAM when me
has n corn. he wishes 1t was an acorn.
People that have corns sometimes send
for doctor, and If the doctor himself Is
coFnered, he wont do as well rs II he
isn't. Doctors say that corns are pro-
duced by tight boots, which Is probably
the reason why, when a man is tight
they say lie is coraed. If farmer maEs-
ages well he can get good deal of corn
on one acre. but know q farmer that
has one corn that makes the biggest
acbeg on his farm. The bigger the crop
of Vetable corn q man raises the better
he Lik;es.it; but the bigger the crop OF
animal corn he raises, the better ne

LAMP CHINNEYs.-There is "shoddy"
in glass as we'll as wooden fabrics. Con-
suIners of kerosene are sometimes al
most discouraged, SO frequently do lamp
chimneys break, without any apparent
cause, rendering the cost of chimneys
about equal to that of oil. Cheapness
being the order of the day, great many
manufact urers make chimneys from the
silicate of lime instead of lead. The
initiated may tell the different qualities
of glass by ringing them the vibrations
of the lead glass have a clear, ringing,
bell-like sound, possessing the requisite
strength to Withstand expansion and
contraction, as welI:as the general press
ure of use, aud will outlast half dozen
of the lime glass chimneys. Fifteen
cents invested in one of the lead CHM
neys is money well spent, even though
it Injuries the trade" in the cheaper
kind, which ii most assuredly ought to
and doubtless will. Stick a pin there
and remember 1t.

KNOW WHEN Your TIME COMES
Mary Gunner Ames writes as follows
in the New York independent:
You are beautiful to-day, many wor-
ship YOU. You will wake up some
morning and find your beauty gone,
your worshippers kneeling at other
shrines. You have power to-day-so
much it seems to you that the world;
your world at least, could not get on
without you. Some day you will como
suddenly to the knowledge that your
power has gone your burdens have
dropped upon other shoulders; your
.honors are worn by other men; aid the
world, even your world, gets OH with
ont you. Life Offers no lesson TO NOR
tails so hard to learn, no lesson hiding in
its truth so keen sting to self-loye as
this, that your prime has passed, and
that YOU must make room for others,
that the flower of your beauty, the
flower of your genius are in their de-
cline that You must wait III the slIad-
ow, while the younger bask III the
spIeudor that you have left behind.
How few are ever willing to admit that
their time has come to learn it. Thus
it is that we see SO many woman rettls-
ing to grow old gracefully. Instead OF
wearing their years as a crowII, mellow
and beautiful in the light of their de-
Ginning sun, they deck gray hairs and
wrinkles with hideous counterfeit OF
youth. This is why We see writers
writing on regulations which they have
long outiived; writing after they have
ceased to have anything to say. except
TO repeat what they said better years and
years ago.
This is why we see men, once in pow
err, still imagining themselves impOr-
tant, and in garrulous and important
speech evoking the ghosts of a dead re-
putation in the councils of younger
men.

We have all heard of artesian wells,
but a wonderful novelty is now an
nounced in Algeria in the shape of ar
tesian fisheries. A well lately sunk at
Ain Sala TO the depth of fOrty-foHr me-
tres threw up not only large body of
water, but, TO the great surprise of the
engineers, an innnmerable quantity of
small fish. These sHbterraneous verte-
brse are described as being on an ay-
evage half an inch in length, and re-
sembiing whitehall both in appearance
aud taste The female is distinguished
from the male by the presence OF dark
coiored stripes ON the upper part of the
body. From the fact of the sand ex-
tracted from these wells being identical
it'll that which forms the bed of the
Nile, &c is concluded that an under-
ground communication must exist be-
| tween them aud that river.
