Cured.
NNR. ALEXANDER SIMPSON, Of

MIR. ALEXANDER SIMPSON, of
Nl Towanda, is dead. He was bilious,
Mr. Alexander Simpson was, and he saw
following paragraph from the pen of
Doctor Hall.
"If bilious man wants to get we'll,
and isno special hurry, all that he has to
do is to lie down out of doors, between
two boards, and lay there until he gets
ravenously hungry.
Mr.. Simpson followed this advice, and
calmly fell asleep with a broad board on
top of him. Under ordinary circum-
stances there would have been no trouble;
but there was a Fat Mems Ball in the lager
beer saloon next door that day, and the
two champion fat men got over the fence,
and sat down with jerk on top of Mr..
Alexander Simpsons upper board without
knowing he was there Itsquolched the
the breath cut of him ut the first blow,
and the fat men, you understand, they
sat, and sat there. and discussed politics,
and the Alabama claims, and the Legal
Tender Act, and the weather, and We
mans rights, and the Harrison boiler and
metaphysics, and they kept on drinking
glass after glass of beer, and getting
heavier and heavier, until one Of them
happened to look under the board and
there was Alexander Simpson, as dead as
Nebuchadnezzar, and mashed so thin that
you could pass him under il closed door
without scraping his vest buttons! He
does not suffer from bile now. But does
anybody know where Doctor Hall lives ?
Because Mrs. Simpson is making inquiries,
and she is anxious to snatch few silver
hairs from his brow, and to necessitate
the purchase Of a patent glass eye.

A Short Romance.

TN the year 1852, there came to q
Il beautiful town of Western Illinois,
on the banks of the Mississippi, a gentle
man named Hazletine, who informed
those with whom he became acquainted
that he had left wife and family in YER
mont, for whom he should send as soon
as u new home in the West was prepared
for their reception. Purchasing choice
real estate in the town, he erected upon it
q fine residence and entering largely into
profitable business, he was presently ready
to be rejoined by those nearest his heart,
and rejoiced in the opportunity to send
east for them by gentleman about ma
king flying visit thither The expected
wife and children however never came.
While the husband and father was eager
ly looking for them every day, in their
stead came letter whose revelations
seem to bow and blight the recipient like
withering disease. What the actual
tidinSs were, Mr.. Hazletine's nearest
neighbors and friends in the West never
knew but from the moment of reading,
them, he went about like one broken in
every hope of life. AT once selecting
legal agent, he, without word of expla-
nation, conveyed all his property to his
wife, provided she appeared on the spot
to claim it within fifteen years. In the
meantime, the new house was to be rented
for the payment Of taxes and the agents
commission, Having made this arrange
ment with as few words as possible, the
stricken man peremptorily closed his bus
mess in the town, even at a great sacrifice,
and disappeared from the West. Eighteen
years have passed, and the strangely as
signed property, now greatly enhanced
in value, is still unclaimed The period
during which the wifc's ownership was to
hold good having expired, the house and
grounds are without known inheritor,
and challenge some Eastern household to
solve family mystery and reclaim noble
estate.

A HINT-Not many miles from town
company Ola few friends might have
been seen one evening in the parlOr Of an
old couple, spending few hours in social
chat, Time flew rapidly TO all, save the
" head of the house" who, about nine
o'clock got very sleepy, He never stayed
out Of bed later than that if he could help
it, The company, however, talked and
talked, and talked 10 the old lady, who
enjoyed her conversation much, whilst
her bigger half dozed and nodded and
occasionally snored just little. Finally
getting his eyes fully opened, and seeing
the clock marked half-past nine, he
turned, yawningly, toward the partner Of
his joys and sorrows, and said, " Wife
hadn't we better 60 to bed These folks
want TO 80 home.

ggg" There is man in Decorah,
Iowa, so penurious that, when shelling
corn kernel flew into wood-pile and
he removed seven cords to find it. A
neighbor standing near dropped n kernel
near where the searcher was looking, but
when he found it he said You can't
fool me with that kernel the one | lost
was large one" He is the same man
who charged his hired girl ten cents
every Sunday to ride to Sabbath School.

The WHITES AND THE Mm1TIA.-The
Winnsboro' Neos, in noticing the parade
last week OF two companies Of colored
militia, recently organized in that Coun-
ty, takes occasion to urge the white peo-
pie, in its usual philosophical style, to
overcome oil squeamishness, and to take
their part in the militia system of the
State. 1t says:
"'The right of the citizen to bear
ar1us' is constitutional right, rs sacred
as 'the right to vote, and nobody now
objects to it. We, year ago, expressed
our conviction. too, that no conflict of
the races would come of its exercise in
the organization of the militia, and that
the whites, if they preferred not to so
into the militia organization, would SIM
ply pay the fines. We reiterate that
opinion to-day. But we, at the same
time, advise the whites to organize com
panies, and obtain field appointments.
a mixed militia, it las now become as
evident to us, we are going to have, as
it is evident to everybody else that
mixed Legislature we both have already
and are going to have Organize at once,
therefore, and havo as good a militia Or
ganization rs possible"

The AIRLINE RA11RoAD.-Next Sa-
turday will be, in our opinion. one of tho
most important days in the history of
Greenville city and of the County. The
vote will decide, first, whether we are
q people capable of understanding our
material interests, and acting according
ly. We have met with few, very few,
citizens of the County who do not ap-
prove of tho vote for subscription, but
as the day of action comes, We trust that
none will be absent from tho polls with
their votes and their influence in its fa-
vor. Every friend of tho road, of every
class and color, can exert an influence,
and ishould not fail to do so. Tho main
thing is to turn out on the day and vote
The matter is to be decided by votes.
We can vote ourselves q thriving,
prosperous people, if we will.
We sincerely believe that the single
item of blackherries would fully justify
the subscription asked of the County.
There was one County in North Carolina,
lying on the railroad leading to New
York and other Northern cities, that,
year before last, sent sirty thousand dol
lars aOorM Of blackJe,vies to New York.
Greenville and other counties in this
State, on such road, could do the same
thing. GreenviHe Enterprise.

WAKING Up THE WRoNG MANA fool,
q barber, and bald-headed man were
travelling together. Losing their way,
they were forced to sleep in the open air,
and to avert danger it was agreed to
watch by turns. The lot first fell on the
barber, who, for amusement, shaved the
FOOLS head while he was sleeping. He
then awoke him, and the fool, raising
his hand to scratch his head, exclaimed:

A WOMAN ASSERTS HEH R1GHTs MAN
PUL1Y.-Montana has citizen named
Miss Given Evans. who, as may readily
be inferred from her name, is by birth q
Welsh woman. About month ago she
entered the United States District Court
in Montana, and asked to have natu-
ralization certificate made out for her.
The puzzled functionary settled his
spectacles on his nose, examined the ap-
plicant with surprise, and then plunged
into United States statutes. in which he
found no legal reason why woman
should not be duly naturalized, and 80
Miss Evans received her papers, with
which she boldly went to the land Office
of the Territory. There she asked n
clerk to make out her declaratory state
ment to pro-empt 160 acres of public
land. The gentleman, like tho other,
was somewhat astonished by her request,
but, examining authorities, he found no
reason to repel the applicant, and her
certificate was duly filed rs No. 1000.
The energetic lady then went to work OH
her newly acquired land, and built
house, and set about to improve her
farm, fencing it, and otherwise showing
that, having it, she intended to keep it.
She now has COW, II yoke Of oxen and
NIL the usual farming tools generally used
by pioneers. Her land is in Deer Lodge
Valley, and some day the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad will run close to it, making
it quite n little fortune.

of these pests attempted, the other day,
to extract material for sensation article
from the ''Big Injuns" lately in Wash

from Red Cloud was, that the white man
had few of the comforts of life; that he

McAbee, (white,) and Simon Latham,

Feafhered Progress.

H. Pouehet has discovered that Che
house-swallow has made considerable
progress in the art of architecture du-
ring the past forty years. Although one
swallow doesnt make a summer, success
sive generations of swallows seem to
have made summary of current inn
provements in building, and TO have adapt
ed means to ends as well as ends to their
means The old style of nest consisted
of "a segment of spheroid, with a
round hole just large enough to edmit
the parent bird; but this being attended
by numerous inconveniences new form
of building has been adopted, with the
following modern improvements" 1t is
the quarter Of semi-oval, with very
elongated poles, and the opening, in
stead of being in the wall itself, is long
transverse fssure bounded below by an
excavation in the upper margin Of the
nest, and sheltered above by the build
ing to which the nest is attached. The
great advantage Of this new plan, ac-
cording to NJ Pouchet, is that it gives
more room for the younger members of
the family and enables them to put
