A good story is told of two promi-
nent candidates for county positions.
One of them, Mr.. W, owns some
n-felds in certain valley, and
having occasion to visit them, he in
vited well-known politician of the
locality to ride with him. On arriving
at the spot, it is said that W drove
up on a hill overlooking a splendid
field of growing wheat which belonged
to him. After Dragging about for
some time, he turned to his political
companion and said, "You see what o
splendid field of wheat this is. Now,
if you will exert your influence in my
behalfPll give.you the best acre oft"
His political companion turned alb
rubtly around, and viewed him for a
few seconds with mute astonishment.
He then warmly exclaimed, "You
must be q stupid P has agreed
to give me the -four in the sack p'
Islington dairies, we are told, prin-
cipally supply London with milk. A
curious story is related of an honest
dairyman. When he bought his "milk-
walk" the seller offered him, for $50,
the receipt for adulterating the fluid.
1t was Indignantly refused. He fur.
nished his customers pure milk, and
he lost nearly every one of them. They
complained of the color, the taste, tho
effects of the fluid, accused him of
adulterating it, and went to other
dealers. In despair, he bought the
offered recipe. 1t gave directions for
watering the milk, and for compound
a mixture Ga rank poison), one drop
of which would give a pan of milk
the appearance of cream. The pur-
chaser recoiled from such course,
made another effort to find customers
for pure milk, failed, and sold out,
A certain French gentleman, who
had only just arrived in America, was
invited to a friends house, where n
large bowl of punch was made-a
liquor he had never seen before, and
and which did not at all agree with
him. Having forgotten the name of
it, he asked person the next day:
"What dey call dat liquor in Amer
lea which is all de contradiction
where is de brandy to make it strong,
and de water to make it weak, de su-
gar to make it sweet, and de lemons to
make it souri,"
81 suppose you mean punch" an
swered the other.
"Ah, ponche, begarl" cried mon.
sleur "it almost ponche my. brain out
last night"
A reporter upon western paper,
speaking of a certain fair creature, re-
marked that "the profusion and color
Of her hair would lead one to look up
on it as though it was spun by nimble
fingers of the easy hours as they glided
through the bright June days, whose
sunny rays Of light had been caught
IN the meshes and we're content to 90
no farther" This is one way of look
ing at it. 1t expresses the idea with
deiieacy, and poetry, and tenderness,
which are never attempted by the
brutal reporters who slash out para
graphs in this part of the country. If
any Of our journalists had undertaken
to describe that woman they would
probably have alluded to her as
ere l-headed girl" We have much to
learn from these inhabitants Of the
Western wilds.
A prim looking youth went to an
elderly ly South Boston newsdealer the
other day, and claimed an aequain-
tance which the gentleman was slow to
recall. "Gou don't know me-" says
the young man. "Why am -,
the son Of Mr.. ---; father took
papers Of you for years before he died,
and have ever since; but we've
moved from --- street, and now
live over the HILL BY the wav, Mr..
Rich, / believe Lowe you dollar on
the last quarter" The old gentle
mans pulse quickened; he took an
other good lool, and remembered. His
youthful debtor produced a ten-dollar
bill, the debt was settled and they bade
oacd other Il courteous adieu. The bill
proved TO be q counterfeit
