Two BAD-The following little story
is very neatly told by Danbury paper ::
FRIDAY afternoon a young lady sitting
at front window, tossing in her hand
what might of been ball of white yarn,
attracted the attention of a middle-aged
chap on the street whose galantry prompt
I'd him to hold up his hands to catch it.
The interest she displayed in hurling it
down to him was no deeper than that he
showed in catching it, although as several
who saw the performance charitably re-
marked, no one could have known that
the egg was bad one."
.XWAR! WAR! WAR!-No sooner had
peace returned to our land from the last
great rebellion than the war cry is again
heard from Cuba, and the people having
entire confidence in the Post Master at
Mifflintown, despatched him as a com
mit,ee of one to go to Washington and
ascertain the facts. He returns with
glad tidings and good news to make all
happy on Christmas and New Years day.
He brought the finest lot of Christmas
Toys and the choicest and freshest Con-
fectioneries ever brought to Juniata couu-
ty. Everybody ought to go and see his
stock at the Miflintown Post Office, be-
fore purchasing elsewhere. Hei thank
full for the liberal patronage heretofore
extended to him, and feels confident that
this year he can please one and all. He
has also the finest lot of Jewelry, Gold
and Silver Watches ever brought to THE
county. Go to the Post Office at Mifflin,

To the world not within the secret
councils Of the petty government which
surround the Pope the offers made by the
Italian Government are liberal in the ex-
IRENE. It is not often that government
hopelessly insolvent, overwhelmed in
debt, with but small and limited territory,
without revenues, without army or navy,
and dependent upon foreign arms for
protection against its own people, has an
offer to be maintained forever in royal
style and dignity, with ample revenue,
freedom from all restraint in its legiti-
mate functions, and payment Of its debts,
when the same political ends might be at
tanned by withholding all these. The
successor of Plus TX. will probably think
better of this matter, and will find that
playing the martyr at Malta and being
dependent on the aims of the Catholic
people, has but poor compensations for
the surrender of the Papal establishment
of Rome, which is the accumulation and
growth of many centuries. The inaction
of the Italian authorities is evidently in
tended to avoid giving the present Pope
al opportunity to be voluntary exile
and martyr, and to SO arrange matters
that the next Pope shall be elected In
the italian capital.

THE AGGREGATE CAT.-In the interior Of
New York there have lately been born four
kittens in one, fastened side to side and back
to back in such way that when two are
standing they must support their brothers or
sisters, reclining luxuriously, with their feet
in air, IKE bar-room loungers or Congress
doubles eat. They have to take turns in
coming down to supper. They must "hunt
in couples" but carry too much weight to
make much speed. One good thing3they
can never fight. They are 'Happy Family 5,
fit for Barnum. The mother is said to show
them Off with good deal of pride, as though
conscious that they are no ordinary prodnc.
lions, mo common doings." They all new
together, as with common sorrow or HIM.
ger; indeed there is great deal of unaninlitv
and n ftasf56us u'astna-inity about those kittens
Their concerted NEW is said to be peculiarly
plaintiVe, and as though foreseeing that life
will be for them rather melancholy ard
monotonous affair, in spite of it's ups ard
downs they continually do cry.''

1t is said that the Princess of Wales is look.

1t is said that the Princess of Wales is look
ing thin and worn, and that her lovely face
is SO full of sadness as to be pathetic. This
face may yet tell against the very royalty Of
which the Princess of Wales is now respect
ed member. 1t attests the fact that her hus-
band-the future King of England-is follow
ing in the footsteps of the early Georges, from
whom he is descended. If the present Prin-
cess of Wales should, on her death-bed, fol-
low the example of George H., and advise her
husband to marry again, it is not improbable
that he would make the reply of his blubber
ing ancestor: mon i ami, "-French was
fortunately the court language of the day.
8 GurGis deS Mattresses This Prince of
Wales has been unanimously reproved as q
licentious Toue, which undoubtedly accounts
for the pale-faced condition of his pretty
wife; but he has been born too late to in
dulge his royal passions with impunity. The
public sentiment in England against the in
stitution of royalty is expressed in too many
ways, directly and indirectly, to be interfered
with. 1t needs only an example of excess, of
indifference to popular approval, of sacri.
fee of that traditional dignity Of the crown
which is about all that the people OF England
now respect, to make the throne of Great
Britain an uncomfortable place for the com
ing King, and the sadness and delicacy of his
pretty wife will only precipitate the popular
wrath

ONE OF SHERIDAN's JoKEs.-Sheridan was
fond of practical jokes, one of which he play
ed on the Duke of Devonshire. Sheriden
was in the habit of frequenting Dolly's chop
house, when he generally called for deviled
shinbone for beef. One day coming in rather
later than usual, he was told that the only
shinbone in the larder was being cooked for
His Grace the Duke of Devonshire. Sheridan,
who knew the Dukes person, though not
acquainted with him, took seat within ear
shot of him, and began q conversation with
friend in loud tone of voice. 81 Away
imagined" said he, 'that Dolly's chop
house was one of the neatest establishments
in London, but [ made discovery this
morning which has convinced me that I was
mistaken The Duke listened very atten-
lively. GAS I was passing the kitchen
window" continued Sheridan, 81 observed
a turn spit boy greedily gnawing q shinbone
of beef. Presently one of the cooks ran up
to him, and, giving him a blow on the neck,
compelled him to drop his prize. You dirty
little rascal said the cook, couldn't you
find nothing else to eat ? Here I've got to
cook this bone for the Duke of Devonshire. y
Soon after the conclusion of this tale, a
waiter entered the room, and advanced to
His Grace with q covered dish. "Your bone,
sir" ''Take it away ~ roared the Duke, with
face of great disgust, 81 can't touch a
morsel gift. ''Stay, waiter ~ said Sheri-
dan, hambly; bring it to me. Ii His
Grlce can't eat / t, can. Fetch me a bott c
of claret-I don't wish better luncheon.
