Sj f---s- lss D.. Balances Accounts
With H--- Twain

tA--A -'i 4 ~ aaaA
Mark Twain la Ired in Syracuse
on Wednesday e-auins. II that city
there dwells a ba lar who. ever since
tie appearance @: Mark Twain's essay
on BARRIERS, has vowed to make the
humorist's Imagination a real expert
enee to him. His opportunity came
on Wednesday afternoon, and the Sy-
racuse Courier thus describes the incl
dent
A gentleman present whispered to
JAKE that the man on his chair was
Mark Twain, and on that hint Jake
went for him." Selecting the dullest
razor IN the shop he sharpened it up a
little, and then seizing Twain by the
nose with a grip that would bring
down a bullock, he commenced to
lather him. He sOaped him from chin
70 eyebrows, and pushed the lather-
orush about an inch up his nose, and
thence into both ears, poor Twain in
Ihe mean time snOrtinG and sDutter-
ing like q steam engine blowing off
steam. In vain he protested that he
did not want his eyebrows and fore
mead shaved Keep still, says Jake,
1 Know my business. After sOaping
MN till he looked like an al6inO,
Jake laid on the blade. The first
stroke brought tears TO Twain's eyes.
The second brought him to a sitting
posture, with an exclamation, II saw,
that razor is too dull 10 shave me
with" LAY down." says Jake,
thrusting him down into the chair
again, THAT razor will cut q hair, I
know my business. Twain grOaned,
and Jake pulled until the beard was
OIL, and a good portion Of the skin
with 1t. After shaving, Jake proceed /
ed to wash him up, selecting the dir
test towel in the shop, one that was
used for washing off hair-dye, and
was as spotted as JOSeph's coat, Jake
soused the water in his eyes and nos
trlls, and then wiped him off. The
spectators by this time were unable |
TO control their laughter, and burst /
out in loud peals, i'm which Jake hear |
tlIy Joined. Twain saw the joke, but [
kept quiet. When Jake told him his /
hair was coming ont, and offered to 4
sell him 4 bottle of hair restorative, /
price 3 per bottle, Twain replied /
w ell l rather want my hair to fall .
out, have too much for comfort" 4
Jake then offered to sell him a bottle 1
of "blOOm of youth" telling him that /
he was badly freckled. Gam -" /
said Mark. "well 1 rather like that. /
II was good looking and fair to gaze
upon the ladies would all fall in love
With me, and that would make my
wife Uneasy. As it IS she allows me to
roam about the country without fear.
She knows my ugliness will protect
me-" Jake saw he could not perse-
cute Mark any farther, and after
him off in q lusty and Wig
1rous manner said, "Mr. Twain how
lid you like your shave" "Oh :"
said Mark, "this is nothing new. Ev-
cry barber in the country goes for me
n the same style. / am used to it,
md in fact rather like it." "Call
x lin" said Jake. ''Not If I can help
=" replied Mark, "good day"

mn The New York HernLd nrl

nea- The New York Herald pro-
nounces the Joint High Commission
a failure because it did not itself adj
Indicate the claims pending between
the two Governments. To go thor
oughly into the details of the priva-
teer claims alone would require a
vast amount of patient labor, and a
great deal of time. There were
twenty-five rebel cruisers on the
ocean during the war, with all of
which the British Government was
more or less mixed up. The Alabama
captured about seventy Of our mer
chantmen, ships, briggs, steamers
schooners and barks, besides a gun
boat or two. The Shenandoah, Flori-
pa, Sumter, jeff Davis, etc, etc, each
did her share of damage, the whole
account footing up something over
500, 100000. 1t would be simply
absurd to suppose the eminent men
who composed the late Commission
would sift these claims, deciding be-
tween the valid and spurious. The
original design was simply to agree
upon a method of adjustment and in
itiate a definite settlement.

To Nebraska, California, and Kansas
the B. & III. r. R. Lands,

The Burlington Route,'' so called, lies right
in the path of the Star of Empire 1t runs
almost Immediately in the center of the great
westward movement Of emigration. Crossing
Illinois and Iowa, it strikes the Missouri river
at three points.
These three points are the gateways into
three great sections Of the ira MS Missouri re-
gion. tea
The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you 10 the land of
gold and grapes, sunny mountains, and per-
petual summer.
The middle gateis Plattsmouth, which opens
upon the south half of Nebraska, south of the
Platte river, region unsurpassed on the con-
tient for agriculture and grazing. Just here
are the B. s. NJ. Railroad lands, concerning
which Geo, S. Harris, the land officer at Bur-
lington, Iowa, can give you all information,
and in the heart of them Is Lincoln, the State
Capital and present terminus of the road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas, by con-
nections with the st. Joe Road at Hamburg,
running direct to st. Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run smoothly
and safely, and make all connections. Ii runs
the best of coaches, Pullman Palace and Pull
man dining cars, and should you take the
Journey for the journeys sake alone, you will
be repaid or take il to find home or farm.
and you cannot find either better than among
the b. & NJ lands, where you can buy on fen
years credit, and at low price.

WYOMING WoMEN-A little over
a year ago Wyoming ventured to
try the experiment of giving the
ballot to women, and under circum-
stances somewhat unfavorable; and
the experiment has proved an un-
questionable success. The Laramie
Sentinel says: ave do not know of
single man who would say he wish
ed the election privilege taken away
from the ladies ofour territory. All
the nightmare visions coniured up
by feverish imaginations about 'wo-
men unsexing themselves, neglect
ing their domestic duties, and fall
ing from their native modesty and
purity, have vanished from our
minds" Judge Howe, in opening
the court in Albany county, in
which women were first impanneled
as jurors, said he felt bound to de-
clare that the experiment had gone
far to vindicate the wisdom of the
policy and realize the expectations
of those who had initiated it. One
such experiment is worth a thous.
and speeches.

SUICIDE-The Galena Gazette give
a sad account of the suicide Of a
promising young man Of that city,
named John Rid, He first drank
a largo quantity of laudnum and
then shot himself with revolver.
putting two bullets in his body In
his pocket was found a lengthy let
ter, stating that tor two years he had
contemplated self destruction, and
had two or three times made futile
attempts to execute his purpose.
The only reason assigned was that
he felt himself worthless man pos
sessing such nature that he could
not hope for success in life. He says
20 one is to blame but himself We
quote from his letter: ut is very
clear TO me, as it must be to every
one, that if you are in the world and
are fit for nothing; Of no use in the
world, the best thing to do is to put
yourself out of the way as soon as
possible; and in so doing | look up
on myself as public benefactor : :
| advise all those who find them
selves united for the duties of life to
follow my example = | wish,
and have for long time, that | had
never been born, which serious mis-
take | am now doing my best TO

asa The crevasse in the leveo of
the Mississippi above New Orleans,
is creating the most appalling havoc.
1t is now nearly $50 feet wide, and
the water which rushes through with
a noise like thunder, is eighteen feet
deep. The whole country for many
miles above and below is literally
flooded and the waters reach to
Lake Ponchartrain, threatening to
destroy the city Of New Orleans and
its railroads. All attempts to stay
the tide are futile, and the only hope
now is to prevent the widening OF
the crevasse until the water in the
river is lower. No language can de-
scribe this dreadful calamity, which
is indirectly attributable to the neg
lect Of the people Of Louisiana du-
ring the war. The river has now de-
posted so much Missouri land, and
the dykes have been neglected so
long, that frequent and devastating
crevasses will continue to be made

BETS. culture of the beet
is said to be worth more to a coun-
try as a fertilizer than the product
directly from the treatment of the
root, the waste pulp proving more
valuable than the sugar. 1t is fed to
barned cattle in large quantities.
1t is stated that in France, where
the business has grown to enormous
dimensions, the increase in cattle on
account of the beet pulp, is wonder
tul. In the district of country sus-
rounding the city Of Valenciennes,
whore before the production OF beet
sugar, seven hundred oxen were the
total amount raised last year. But
this IS not all. This enormous in
crease of stock has so much advanc-
ed the fertility of the land that one
hundred and ninety thousand BUSH
els more wheat are raised in the
same district per annum than were
ever raised in previous years.

WASHINGTON, April 28.-It appears
from what has just leaked out as to
the doings Of the High Commission,
that the Senate will not be long in
disposing of the treaty for the settle
ment of all the disputed questions
before them. Tho only matters fully
disposed of are the fishery question
and the navigation Of the st. Law
renee. The Alabama claims and San
Juan boundary have been referred to
a commission Of five persons, CON-
posed of one each from the United
States, Great Britain, Brazil, Russia
and Germany. They are to meet in
Vienna at such time as may be here
after designated, and their action is
TO be final tits understood that the
principle upon which claims are to
be presented has been agreed on
