manners, morals, all that enter in to the

those social snobs; position, in their

each additional dollar is another round

gained. .... ...

1t seems the height of ambition in some
circles, to be, or profess to be, not only
"above" work, but even ignorant Of how
work ought to be done; and if the table
is poorly spread, if the house keeping
is at skies and sevens, the 'help" receives
maledictions without, but the "lady"
takes none Of the responsibility upon her
self. She look into the kitchenP she
know how bread should be made or stoak

be bad enough, but what interest can the

The KukluX Law,

Governor Senter has offered a reward
Of $3.50 for the arrest of any person or
persons found violating the second or
third sections Of the law to punish masked
ruffians. These sections read as follows
Sec. 2. BE it further enacted, That if
any person or persons, disguised or in
mask, by day or by night, shall enter up
on the premises of another, or demand en-
trance or admission into tho house or eu-
closure of any citizen Of this State, it shall
be considered primn facie that his or their
intention is to commit felony, and such
demand shall be deemed an assault with
intent to commit felony, aud the person
or persons so offending shall, upon convic-
tion, be punished by imprisonment in the
peuitentiary not less than ten years nor
more than twenty years.
Sec. 3. BE it further enacted, That if
any person or persons, so prowlmg. tray-
cling, riding or walking through the towns
or country OF this State, masked or in dis.
aujse, shall, or may assault another with a
deadly weapon, be or they shall be decn.-
ed guilty Of an assault with an attempt to
commit murder in the first degree, aud on
con iction thereof, slall suffer death by
banging: provided, the jury trying the cause
may substitute imprisonment in the peni-
tontAry tor period Of not less than ten
years nor more than tweuty-one years.

More Cabinet Changes.

A late Washington dispatch states that
the Republican leaders have made dem
onstratiOn on the President for more Cab
met changes. As in the case of Secretary
Cox, the raid is again headed by Simon
Cameron. The veteran politician, in an
interview he had with the President, cited
the fact that he had two members in his
Cabinet representing Democratic States,
almost hopelessly Democratic as he express
ed it. They are Fish and Creswell. He
urged on the attention of the President,
that, while Pennsylvania still remained on
the Radical side, she had no one in the
Cabinet, and although he did not make
the direct claim, he intimated that the
substitution of Pennsylvania man would
be accepted by Creswell, who had lamcnta
bly, failed, after all his boasts, to make
Maryland a Radical State at the recent
election. Mr.. Cameron feels confident
that, after Dece Der first, one if not two
Cabinet changes will be made.

Tuning Up,

Many years ago there was in the eas
tern part of Massachusetts worthy d
d., and although he was an emminently
benevolent man and good christian
yet it must be confessed that he loved {
good joke much better than even the
most inveterate jokers. 1t was before
church organs were much in use; it Sc
happened that the choir Of the cLurcl
had recently purchased a double bass
VOL. Not far from the church was 6
urge pasture, and in it huge town bull
One hot Sabbath IN the summer he got
out of the pasture, and came believing
up the street. About the church there
was plenty of untrodden grass, greer
and,good, and Mr.. Bull stopped to try
the quality; perchance to ascertain if It's
location had improved its flavor Atnny
rate, the doctor was in the midst of his
sermon when:
sBoo-woo-woo" went the bull.
The doctor paused, looked up at the
singing seats, and with grave fac,
sahl
81 woold thank the musicians not e
tune their instruments during service
time; it annoys me very much"
The people Uttered, for they yell knew
what the real state of the case was.
The minister went on again with his
discourse, but he had not proceeded fn
before another "Boo-woo-woo" came
from Mr.. Bull.
The parsom paused once more, and
again exclaimed:
II have twice already requested the
musicians in the gallery not to tune
their instruments during sermon time
l now particularly request Mr. Lafevoi
that he will not tune his double bass vi.
ol while am preaching"
This was too much. Mr.. Lafevol
got up, much agitated at the thought ot
speaking out in church, and stammered
out:
ut isn't me, Parson b: it's TIL
that mischeivous town bull?

A Hint.

Not many miles from town a compa-
ny Of a few friends might have been seen
one evening in the parlor Of an old couple
spending o few hours in social chat
Time few 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 to the old lady, who enjoyed
the conversation much, whilst the bigger
half dozed and nodded and occasionally
snored, just a little, Finally getting his
eyes fully opened, and seeing the clock
marked half-past nine, he turned, yaw.
ningly, towards the partner of his Joys
and his sorrows, and said, "Wife hadn't
we better go toibed? These folks want
to go home" 90
