The Chicago Times, u few days ago
contained this notice: An ambitious
photographer on yesterday hunted up
an old hag in whose barn the fire is sup
posed to have originated. She asked
him S25 for sitting for his picture, SO,
with commendable economy, he found
another woman who was willing to let
him do it for IS, and he ut once took her
photo. 1t is supposed that he will offer
this picture for sale with this inscription !:
"This is the woman all forlorn, who
MIXED the cow with crumpled horn
that kicked the lamp that fired the barn,
that burned the town that Long John
built"

A singular evidence Of Oreson's anti
putty was recently taken out of the
ground ut TillamoOk Heads. 1t appears
that some meE were grading road bed,
and, when twenty-five feet below the
surface, one of them exhumcd copper
bowie knife over twenty-five inches long,
two and half inches wide, by three
Fights of an inch thick. The curiosity
was sent to e. Roop, of Dayton, who
has it in his museum. Here is another
mystery for the older inhabitants to cx-
plain. The knife is made OF the best
copper.

How is this for sermon in church !
The place is q sacred cdificc in Bath,
Maine. The pew is crowded. The ser
mon is long. A respectable citizen goes
to sleep. In close proximity to him is q
lady. The preacher was in the midst of
the closing prayer, when the slumberer
the congregation by grunting
in tone of complaint: "Come, come,
Sarah lay along don't crowd SO! lay
over!" Sarah, who was fortunately in
the pew also, never for a moment lost
her presence OF mind, but administered
a timely poke with her parasol, which
awakened her dormant lord, and pre-
vented any further remarks on his part.
A warning TO sleepy auditors or long
windcd preachers-no matter which.

Some time since, . variety merchant
in the country wished to order from a
hardware stoae in the city something for
his tailor customer, and wrote as follows
"Please send mo two tailors' goOses.
Not liking the grammar, and fearing
his New York friends would laugh at
him, he destroyed that order and wrote:
"Please send me two tailors' goose. /"
Alter the letter was sealed, he was
was troubled IN his mind lest they should
send him couple of live geese, pur-
chased from some tailor, when he took
the document from the pOstoffice, de-
stroyed it, and for two days thought OF
nothing except how to word his order
50 it could be understood, and according
to grammar. At last he gave II up in
despair, and wrote:
"Please send me one tailOr's goose
and, d-n it, send me another one just
like it.

OFFENDED DIGNEY.-The Democracy
have had clear working majority in
-, Illinois, for number Of years
But when the Fifteenth Amendment,
went into effect, it enfranchised so many
Of the "culled breddren as to make i,
apparent to our party leaders that, un-
less good many black votes could he
bought UP, the Republicans would carry
the city election. Accordingly advan ces
were made to the Rev. Brother
whose influence it was thought desirable
to secure, inasmuch as he was certain to
control the votes of his entire church.
He was found "open to conviction"
and arrangements progressed satisfac-
torially, until it was asked how much
money would be necessary to secure his
vote and influence.
With an air OF offended dignity Broth
er- replied:
CHOW, gemmen, as a regular awdained
minister OBJ de Baptist Church, dis ting
has gone tes rs far as my conscience will
low; but, gcmmen, my son r,N call roun

ktllA = Newest rlres lrsa apteitk
!; After failing IL the parnn6dHt object
Of Immediately extinguishinig . IRE, the
most Important purpose y y prevent its
spreading 10 aa5&nisg buildings, or
communicating v the opposite square.
To prevent 4 Rom crossing the street,
doubtlsssthe following simple and cheap
plan &fll be found effectual, if taken in
&Me:
Rivet rings securely six or eight feet
apart, to the upper side of ordinary hose,
tie hose to be perforated with holes on
one side every six inches. This hose il
to be hung up under the cornice, or be-
tween the brick or stone, the rings
attached to Ihe hose being put OF. over
the spike-heads, thus holding it securely
in place. 1t can be put up rapidly by
the hook and ladder company. Then
attach an ordinary tight hose to the end
Of this perforated hose and bring down
to the ground and back to the engine.
One engine will force through this hose
. sufficient stream to cover the cOrnice
and the entire front of several houses
with steady sheet OF water. If the per-
forxted hose extends a considerable dis
lance, or o whole square, put an engine
to the other end. These engines stand
ing out of reach of the fire, will force
water through the hose long after the
firemen are driven from the front Of the
house on fire, or from the street; and, as
the hose will always be wet from water
scattering against the corniee and against
the wall, it will not be easily burned.
With proper activity on the roofs of
houses, the fronts Of which arc thus pro-
tected, it wilkbe almost impossible for
any ordinary fire to spread. OF course,
in thus giving the plan briefly, many de.
tails are Omltted, such as the best and
quickest way to put up the perforated
hose, means necessary to adopt where
houses are Of different heights, and to
utilize the cutters.
This plan, in ordinary cases, will not
only efectually prevent fires from
spreading, but in narrow and even
ordinary streets, will protect the build |
ings opposite from having the cOrnicc,
window sash, frames or blinds burnt or
blistered with the heat, or glass from
being broken, often Of great value. This
alone win more than pay the cost at
nearly every considerable fire. Is this
plan newy If so, how easy to test it.

farmer recently put quantity of it into
his pocket, in which there happened to

his steed broke down, and the farmer

he found that the carpet tack had grown
to be long bar of railway iron.

Grace Greenwood, in a recent letter to
the n. Y. Times, dated at Salt Lake Ci
~, thus speaks of the new poet, Joaquin
Miller, then in that city and so jOurning
in the same hausehold:
"In person he strongly reminds one
Of n. p. Willis but in manner and char
acter he is most unlike that dainty poet
and brilliant man Of society. He is a
simple unconventional, and apparently
unspoiIed by English adulatiOn and So
cial pettIng. He seems to be man of
no DISCUSSES or pretensions, is still,
where he feels at ease, as impulsive, ma
tural and unsuspecting Us q boy, yet
not wanting in keen perceptions of char
acter and certain cool, quiet shrewd-
ness, which, if mistake not, has had q
good deal to do with the late remarka-
bic success in literature. Undoubtedly
he has genius, but he seems to lack, if
not the artistic faculty, the habit of sys-
tematic efforts and concientiOus study.
Yet he looks as much like the artist and
the STUDENT as the "WiId Singer of the
Sierras." He dresses like q young pain
ter, showing his brown velvet coat and
dark sOmbrero and rich fur overcoat,
his Jewelry, and crimson necktie, an
eye for effect of light and shade, q sem
suous delight in ornament and color.
But his face is pale and thoughtful, the
expression OF his eyes grave and intro
verted, and he has something of schl-
arly stOOp. In short, he looks far moro
like man who spent his best years over
the desk, than like the hunter. the min
er, the reckless rider and fighter, the
daring, romantic frontiersman that he is
said to be. Doubtless our literature
needs some freshening, half foreign ele-
ment, and it may be that new life and
strength will flow into it through the
songs of the most imaginative and dra-
matte poet-but he seems to me to be in
danger of thinking that great poems Sings
themselves he can continue to take
the world as he took the London critics
by wild galoping swing of verse-by
a mountain air rush of strong, free fancy,
by prairie fire sweep of passion with
out careful, constant culture. But he is
man in his prime his career is now i'm
his own hands, and neither counsel nor
criticism con make or mar it."

A PENIrENr MILKNAN.-NotIo

during an excited protracted meeting
held in one Of the frontier towns OF
Michigan, y man named Wilson, who for
years had sold milk to some of the vii.

ward TO the anxious seat and solicited
the prayers OF the congregation. In
dac time be became penitent, and arose
to make his confession. Among other
trsnsgressions Of which he had been
gsilty, he owaed to have frequently wa
tered the milk he had sold. In the mids,
of his confession, while telling his milk
story a; the munster ossst;., very Sos'h MAJ
claimed:
"Sit down, sit down, Brother Wilson !,
