Just Where I Please.

John Randolph was travelling in
part of Virginia with which he was un-
acquainted. In the mean time he
stopped during the night at an inn
near the forks of the road. The inn
keeper was fine old gentleman, and,
no doubt one of the first families of
the old Dominion. Knowing who his
distinguished guest was, he endeavored
to draw him into conversa ton. but
failed in all his efforts. But in the
morning Mr.. Randolph was ready to
start, he called for his bill, which, on
being presented, was paid. The land
lord, still anxious to have some CONVEX
sation with him, began az follows:
(which way are you travelling, Mr..
Randolph
''sir?" said Randolph, with look of
displeasure.
Il asked which way you were trav-

tsDo I owe you anything more?"
s'No."
"Well, I'm going just where please.
Do you understands
Eyes,"
The landlord by this time got some
what excited, and Mr.. Randolph drove
off. But, to the landlords surprise,
the servant returned to inquire which
of the forks of the roads to take
Randolph not being out of hearing
the landlord spoke at the top of his
voice:
'Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me a
cent; just take which road you please. u
1t is said that the air turned red with
the curses of Randolph.

WASHING MADE EAsY.-Rub the
clothes in two waters, use plenty Of
soap; then after wringing dry, place in
tub, and pour on clear boiling water
TO cover them. Let them remain until
cool enough to bear the hand; wiring
and put out to dry, using no hard wa :
ter ABOUT them. This saves nearly half
the usual work, beside the steam from
boiling, which is very unpleasant, espe-
cially in winter.

The San Domingo investigation
looks worse and worse for the adyO-
Gates of the purchase the more deep
ly and thoroughly it is pushed.
A dispatch from Washington states
that it has been proved before the
Senate committee appointed to in
vestigate the case that David Hatch
was held a prisoner by the Domini-
can government because it was fear
ed that if at liberty he would dam
age the prospects of annexation. 1t
is impossible to characterize this
gross outrage on an American citi-
zen as it deserves, and while salts
faction should be demanded of the
Dominican authorities, it ought to be
the closest possible scrutiny into all
the details of the scheme for the
purchase and sale Of the island.
