THE following extracts are taken
from an autobiography by tho well
known writer John Neal, entitled "Re-
collections of Somewhat Busy Life:"
"The best educated man is, after all,
more self educated than he Is anything
else, What we do for ourselves In the
Wav of education, no human being can
do for us. And the simple fact that the
self-educated make a boast OF 1t, shows
that they think themselves entitled TO
greater commendation, for doing What
thev have done without help, and that
therefore help is an advantage, the help
ot others. even in their estimation. To
brap that you have made your way
without the help of collegiate course,
what is it, after all, but an admission
that a collegiate course has its adVan-
tapes2 And so it has. But look at the
disadvantages. You grow TO moulu;
YOU adopt the opinions of your teacher
mot always, indeed, but so generally,
that, If you know where man mas
heen educated, you know what mis-
views and opinions are upon great
variety of subjects-in literature, 10
philosophy, in languages, and some
times in politics and rell9lon. ..o

Bible, was the arabian Nights, and

looked into it since. Yet all the Incl,
dents are fresh in my memory, and
most of the characters and situations.
Thev tell the story in this way, and 1t
seerns to me now that l remember the
particulars myself. My mother want
ed to 60 somewhere, taking my sister
Rachel with her, for the day, put Whht
ON earth should be done with her boy!
1 was Just of an age-not over eight or
nine at the most-to be very trouble

him with me- said Mrs. Thankful Bag
lev. a very pleasant, kind. hearted wO-
man. who lived below in the same
house. Ny mother consented, and Mrs.
Baeley brought me the arabian Nights
to read, / took 1t with me up in the
garret; and when my mother returned
toward nightfall, and asked to5 me,
Mrs. Bagley was obliged to own up.
She had not set eyes upon me since
morning. / had not come TO dinner,
and nobody knew where to look for me.
NV poor mother began to feel uneasy;
bnt when the book was mentioned,
knowing my indispensable appetite for
all sorts of strange, out of-the- way
reading, she went straightWay up 10
the little garret window, where spent
most of nv time out of school, ana
there she found me behind a trunk, 80
deeply engaged in the book before me,
that had not even heard her step, nor
the voices below; nor had eaten Il
mouthful during the day."

TIM, an old.time fisher, went out
one day in the spring to catch some
suckers, with worms Tor bait, and hRv-
ing no better place to put them, placed
them in his hat wrapped in piece of
newspaper, from a hole in which he
would help himself. Having complet-
ed his fishing, he started for home,
neglecting to throw away his bait. He
was powerful hungry when he got
there, and commenced upon his mush
and milk with a voracious appetite,
but by and-by he fished up an angle
worm,
"Halloo, MOTHER" said he, "that ere
cow OF yourn has got worms"
"Why, what could have pnt such q
thing as that into your head, Tlm?" she
cried.
"Jpst look here" said Tim, holding
up his prize; land see here, here's an
other, by thunderI Why, the bowls
full of 'em."
Tim drew back with disgust and dis.
may, and the mother was completely
"knOcked." Tim in his emotion put
his hand in his head, and drew 1t away
suddenly.
"'Tis all right. mother" said he,
Frightening up; {" 'tisn't the cows fault
-'tis them worms had for bait"
The COW Yindicated; and the bowl
rinsed, Tim finished his supper.

The ceremony of decorating the
graves of the forty thousand Union
dead, who lie buried in the vicinity OF
Washington, will take place on Satur-
day, and from the extensive prepara-

to be of very impressive and interest
Grand Army of the Repu blto. and a
committee Of the principal ladies OF the
city have charge of the solem mites, and
a number of minor sub committees are
lending their assistance. BY order of
the President, ali the Departments are
to be closed. The cemetery near Alex

the 30th, the cemetery at the Soldiers g
Home, and those near Fort Stevens
will be decorated without ceremonies,
and also the graves Of all soldiers in

the graves of the Confederate dead has
come up. but at a meeting OF Post of
the Grand Army of the Republic reso-

not divide the honors by decorating

newly married people have founo 'nere way
into newspapers, but We remember 70 nave
rowbare seen related on incident Of the
L;,a no.sas,jog such fresh verdure rs
cbaracterizey the following, %hich is related
of A pennsylvania couple who had just
formed joint stock company in the yoy'
age Of life
A couple from Oakland came to town, got
married in the evening, proceeded TO the
hotel, and at a late hour we're found IN the
sittingroom by one Of the colored walters.
The newly made benedict asked the gentle.
man of color how soon their bed would be
brought in. SambO responded by inform
ing HIM that if he wis ed room he must
register his name, when the clerk would as.
sign him one. He accordingly repaired to
to the office and inscribed his name, and
the maiden name Of his wife below il, In.
sistiug upon having room together, the
clerk inquired if he and the lady were mar.
red, when he replied in the affirmative, and
pdlled from his pocket the marriage certiti
cate. An hour or two after, strong smell
of gas sent the nigh; Waterman hunting for
the leak It was tracked to the room OF the
newly married pair. Demanding admission
and asking the cause Of the escaping
gas, the rural swain replied, pointing to the
gas burner, that he blew it out and then
the darned thing smelt 80 bad that he put
his stocking over it, Sure enough, there
was the stocking drawn over the burner and
tied down with shoe string.

u,,5ars of bonds issued by several coun.
10. If Iowa to railroads have been for years
Caring the laws delay in enforcing pay.
,no,, The case of j. Edgar Thompson
against the Board of Supervisors Of Lee
county has recently had a singular termina
ton SO far as the inferior federal courts ars
concerned. Judge Drummoud of the U. S.
Circuit Court, in which Mr.. Thompson re-
covered his judgment, recently issued a writ
Of mandamuS to the Board of Supervisors of
Lee county commanding them to levy tax
aud pay Mr.. rs judgment, an Injunction
having been previously issued by the State
Courts of Iowa restraining the levy, on the
ground that the law under which the bonds
were issued was unconstitutional and the
bonds therefore invalid. The Supervisors
yielded obedience to the injunction OF the
Iowa courts and disobeyed Judge Drum
mouds maudamus, whereapon Judge ID. is.
sued a writ Of attachment which was served
upon the Board BY a U. S. deputy marshal
Of Iowa by placing them under arrest. Next
came writ Of habeas corpus from the Iowa
courts, to the marshal, which was in turn
iisobeyed. Then Judge Beck of the Su.
creme Court Of Iowa, who issued the writ Of
,abeas corpus, on motian ordered that the
herif Of Lee county use the power OF the
county to release the supervisors from the
custody of the marshal, who surrendered
hem. Here the farce ends for the present.
Judge Beck takes the ground that when
Judge Drummond gave judgment be ex.
hausted his authority in the premises and
that be cannot proceed to enforce payment
,y mandamus after an injunction had issued
