the laboring that " workingmen. stand by ms

in that State he made extra exertons and spared

shipped backwards and forwards and distributed
throughout the different counties and every corrupt
appliance brought to bear in favor Of the Radical
candidates His efforts were crowned with success
The Democratic papers warned the workingmen tina;
Holiday intended to give them employment only
until after the election aud that he would then dis
charge his white laborers and employ Cinnamon.
The Radical press Indignantly denied the assertion
and Holidays personal organ the Bait<tin avcrred
that the contrary was the case aud that the william

An Immense Snow Plow--Tho Larg.

The Union Pacific Railroad is

A Novel Duel

Among the "reminiscences told of
the Franco-Prusslan war is the ac-
count of curious duel between two
subordinate officers of the french
army.

passed which can only be wiped out
with blood. We don't want to pass

every well, you shall fight, but
it must be in this way: "Take your
carbines, place yourselves on line
facing the Malmaison, where the
enemy is. You will march upon
their garrison with equal step.
When sufficiently near their posts
you will then fire upon them. The
Prusslaus will reply. You con-
tinuc to advance and fire. When
one falls the other may turn upon
his heels, and his retreat shall be
covered by ono of my companies"
Wn this way," concluded the
commanlant, ",he blood which you
both demand will be spilled with
profit and glory, and he who comes
back will do SO without regret, with
out the rcmorse of having killed or
wounded, with his own hand, q

needs all her defenders, and all her

may also add that give you an ex-
ccllent opportunity for putting 4

service that will procure for you a
good recommendation for reward
and promotion"

Tho Habit OF Crottin.

Fretting is both useless and un-
necessary; it does no good, and a
great deal OF harm; yet it is almost
a universal sin. More or less we
are all given to it. We fret over
almost everything. In summer be-
cause it is too hot, and in winter
because it is too cold; we fret when
it rains because it is too wet: and
when it doesn't rain because it is
dry, when we are sick, or whcn any
body else is sick. In short, if any
thing or everything doesn't go j"st
to suit our particular whims and
fancies, we have one grand refuge
to fret over it. | am afraid fret
ting is much more common among
women than among men. We may
as well own the truth, my fair sis
ters, if it isn't altogether pleasant.
Perhaps it is because the little wor-
ries and cares and vexations of our
daily life harass our sensitive nerves
more than the more extended en-
terpriscs which generally take the
attention of men. Great wants
develop great resources, but the little
wants and worries are hardly pro
vidcd for, and like the nail which
strikes against the saw, they make
not much of "A mark, but they turn
the edges terribly. think if we

one day as great united worry,

come only one or two little things
at a time, they seem so very little
that we give way, and the breach
once made in the wall soon grows
larger. Now, 1 don't believe in the
cant that woman must always,
under all and any circumstances,

Loco.Ao+io,, among the French Pho.
Aeers Of Michigan.

Alta recent meeting Of the Pio-
neer Society, Of Detroit, the follow
ing description Of the French chairs
and carts, formerly SO common
III the streets Of that city, was
read:
''Thc 'mutche-donc chair is now
nearly unknown. 1t was a home
made article. The frame was of
some kind of hard wood, and proba-
bly, an AK, an anger and jack-knife
were the only tools employed in its
construction. 1t was minus paint
or polish, very narrow and straight
backed, the legs were also straight;
but the distinguishing peculiarity
was, that it was sure to fall back
when you arose, unless you held on
to it. The rest was Of elm bark,
twisted into small rope, and WOW
en- as the rush-bottomed chairs were.
1t probably got its sobriquet from
the frequent use of the term by the
occupant of the little cart, where it
was always seen, who, instead of
using the whip on the command to
Cit up or 'Ge lang,' found it all
sufficient to request his pony, in the
more elegant French tongue, to
'MMche donc,' or 'Auunce.'
The cart in general use by the
citizens ut that time was not the
French cart, strictly speaking, but
larger, and much wider in proper
ton and more strongly built, and
had close sides, which were gen.
orally either painted red or Spanish
brown.
s'The French cart was built in the
lightest possible manner, and so
narrow that two Of the little 'marche
done choir$' could not be placed
abreast. The sides were composed
Of two or three rails the length of
the cart. and four or FIVE cross
pieces, which formed a sort of lat
tice-work.
"The French culeche has, l think,
entirely disappeared. 1t was y light
open carriage designed for two
persons, not unlike a gig. 1t was
hung on leather straps. Many of
the hetter class anon. the French
residents had them, but owing to
the state of the roads they were lit

sions, when they were in great

Polite Lies.

All nations count all other nations
whose vocabulary is more tlorid
and whose professions of friendship
are more profuse than their own
insincere in proportion to the diff
erencc they make in the mode of
saying tile same thing. fan East
ern says, 81 AM your sacrifice" and
a Spaniard puts all he has under
your feet, and a Frenchman swears
he is enchanted at the honor of see
ing you, and an Irishman calls you
his dear friend, and protests by his
soul that he is more glad OF your
company than if he had got for.
tune, they all mean exactly the same
thing as the Englis!man's "My
dear, Smith is coming to dine here
tomorrow. He's an awful bore, I
know, but ! was obliged to ask him,
SO let us havca decent dl 1ner for
the old curinudgeon.'' And when
Smith comes, and is received with
distinction by both host and hostess,
they enact their falsehood to such
perfection that he has not the least
idea he was the occasion Of con-
jugal quarrel just twenty-four hours
ago, and that both had lamented
the hard social necessity they were
under Of asking him to dinner at
all; though the lady, woman like,
had been the more angry and out
ragcous of the two. To make up
for it, she is probably the smoother
and more gracious when the I'M
welcome guest does arrive, that be-
ing the way of women in general.
But Smiths host would laugh Till
his sides ached at the cxaggeration
Of the rest, and swear they were all
humbugs Of the deepest dye, and
how degrading to a man to talk
such trash. For his own part, to
say in a good humored, fluffy voice,
"Well, Smith, my boy, Pm glad to
see you," is no lie at all. 1t is 50
in reality; but it is a convention
understood by the world at large,
and known to mean no more than
what the Spaniard and all others
mean by their respective blarneys.
We have to meet people that we
know, to ask them to our houses,
give them good dinners, and make
them polite speeches-all social in
sincerities from first to last; but
as they are popular expressions of
national politeness, we let them
pass without rebuke, reserving our
fire for all other expressions not
tallying with our own. Yet each
and all are right in their decree;
only when they go beyond conven-
tionality and assume to be inner
spiritual truth are they evil and mis-
leading. Less than this they are
useful, and so we must be content
to regard them; necessary wells for
the truth, but confcssedly wells, not
the truth, save at times and by the
chance of sympathy and love.

A Fish Story.

Returned Mocsehead Lake tour
lists tell funny stories. Some people
in that vicinity-they are denomi-
mated land-sharks-have a strange
fashion of stealing fish after they
are caught. A party that bad
caught large number of nice trout
put them into a box perforated with
holes, and set the box into the pond
to remain over night, so that the
fish might he fresh and nice to take
home to their expcctant families on
the morrow. During the night, fish,
box, everything, were stolen. The
land-sharks frequently steal the pro-
duct of a good days fishing and
sell the fish to the very persons
from whom they had been stolen.-
\ gentleman who must have been 4
railroad conductor, or graduate
from that position, had cute way
of detecting these thieves. He kept
Il punch in his pocket, such as is
used by conductors on passenger
trains in punching tickets. With
this he punched the tails of all trout
found dangling on the end of his
line in the sport Of fishing. One
night large lot of fish that he had
captured "came up among the miss
ing" He was to leave the next day
for home. In the vicinity Of the
stage Office a fisherman appeared,
offering for sale Il nice lot Of trout,
caught, as he said, the night before.
The gentleman instituted an eXami-
nation, to find that each and every
fish bore his mark-the punch thro'
the tail-and on the strength of this
proof he claimed the whole lot, and
had the fisherman arrested for lar
