ing features he rushed at her, small

A SNUG OFFICE.-The Indian Vice
royalty is the highest Office which can be
held by British subject The salary of
one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars per annum is at least doubled by
extra allowances and grants. The Office
is usually held for six years, during
which its occupant is expected to have
realized large fortune, besides literally
living en- prince. 1t is very probable that
Lord NIayo's widow will receive large
pension from the Crown, with an English
peerage, to descend on her death, to her
Oldest son, now Earl of Mayo, who was
twenty-one last July.
The Palmyra Journal illustrates some
of the strong ''points' made against
Grant as follows: Grant smokes
Grant likes horses Grant goes to church;
Grant goes to Long Branch; Grant is
good to relatives; Grant don't talk
much to fools Grant don't look like
hero Grant plays with his children;
Grant played the ID with Lee Grant
says just enough and dries up; Grant is
an unexceptionable President. And for
these and similar heinous crimes the De-
mocracy don't like Grant. Sad.
A "DoDGE''. While revenue officers
were making a seizure in Lowell on Mon
day, one of them happening to let heavy
iron fall into the bunghole of molasses
hogshead IN the cellar, afterwards found
that it struck some woody substance in
side. There were four hogsheads, and
being smashed, one by one, barrel con-
tanning whisky or rum was found in each
one. After the barrels of liquor had
been placed inside the hogsheads, the
molasses was put in between the two, so
that rum or whisky could be pumped out
through the bungholes and molasses

the hogsheads the officers got well sweet

A MONKEY GALLANTRY.-A story of
an extraordinary degree of gallantry on
the part of monkey comes from San
Francisco where venerable looking or
ganist pursuing his persistent, continual,
''demnition grind, was accompanied by
an active little monkey, dressed in red,
when they were suddenly surrounded by
a group of school children, boys end girls,
who at once became devoted to the mon
key. The latter, seeing an apple in the
hands of one the boys, suddenly ceased
his gambols, snatching the fruit, ran nim-
bly, up tree close by The boy cried,
and his companions laughed, while the
Italian alternately swore at and coaxed
the chattering thief, but in vain, until at
last the monkey, of his own accord, came
swiftly down, and, springing in front of
pretty little girl with long curls, deft-
ly took off his jaunty cap and, bowling po-
litely, handed her the apple.
Phoebe Cary, at the time of her death,
was at the head of movement for the
establishment of a ''woman's dress
Guide, - similar to the one instituted in
England. The plan has been taken up
by other influential women of Boston,
and the following are some of the rules
of the proposed association: To pur-
chase for cash only to buy nothing
which is not wanted merely because it
is cheap to dress in manner becoming
the station in life; to pay proper defer
ence to the tastes and pecuniary ability
of heads of families to wear no false
jewelry, false hair, pads, &C.; to avoid
all exaggerations even if called fashion
able, and all unseemliness in dress, and
to do away with the foolish and silly Gus
tom of dressing a number of times day.
A WORD FOR BoYs.-Work and Play
says: ''What an amount of showing
around boys do have to endure 1t is a
solemn fact that most men who employ
boys, Or who come in contact with them,
treat them as though they had no rights
which man was bound to respect But
we suppose that when these boys, who
have been snubbed, grow up, they turn
about and have their revenge in treating
all the boys they come across in the same
way: at least the abuse seems to contin-
ne, shameful as it is Ifall boys would
only make up their minds, now, that
when they grow up they will treat boys
decently, thea next generation of boys
mioht have q fair time -
