A SPICY little anecdote is related in an
exchange of a well-known Methodist
preacher, who has received the appellation
of " Camp-meeting John" This eccentric
divine lives in Maine, bat bestows his serv-
ices in various sections of the country as
occasion demands. As happen to know
him personally. we can assure our readers
that the following incident is entirely
characteristic. A certain presiding elder
who was noted for being late at service,
and seldom animated or brief, once kept a
congregation waiting a long time, and then
preached prosy sermon of unusual
length on the text, Feed my Lambs" He
had not We. finished when Camp-meeting
John" rose from his seat in the congrega-
ton and said: " Brother, have had some
experience in raising lambs myself, and
have found the following rules absolutely
essential to successful lamb raising: First,
give them their food in season: second
give them a little at a time: and third, give
it 10 them warm" No better advice could
be given to n minister, though the time and
place of offering it might be more appro-
priately chosen.-Harpe7'S Weekly.

Thomas j. Bowditch writes to the Troy

There is considerable character in the
manner in which person wears hat.
You sometimes meet a person whose hat

has tipped it back so that all the world
may see his jolly, good-natured face, and
understand that he is at peace with all the
world. You meet another of a different
type. He pulls his hat low down over his
brows, and seems to b. continually taking
measure of his boots You feel at once that

feeling which set in with her conviction,
that she is now confident Of acquttal in the

little care during the interim. The very

A Wonderful Set of hess-Men-The
Labor of u Lifetime.

There is now on exhibition in Chicago a
pert, something like those of half CEN
fury ago. They are carved by hand from the
finest quality of solid ivory, and are colored
in white and red The work of cutting
them out occupied almost a lifetime, being
entirely accomplished by one man. Their
size is somewhat colossal, the Kings !"
being about nine inches in hight and the
"Pawns nearly five The latter are
mounted, and the "Castles " are the an
cient elephants. The Bishops" stand
out as Priests of Confucius, and the
"kings and Queens are Chinese en-
perors and expresses. The beauty Of the
whole, however, is the delicate and exquis-
lite carying-every feature, every piece of
drapery, having the most elegant and elab-
crate finish. Each piece stands upon a ball,
resting on a pedestal. Within this ball are
other and smaller ones, all cut, inside,
from the solid ivory, and all carved in the
same manner as the one surrounding them.
These are perforated with holes cut after
the form Of stars and circular saws. With
in the ball at the base of the King there
are seven smaller ones, carved within each
other, and 1t would be impossible to get
either of them out without breaking Each
bears a sword. loose in its scabbard, and
each in three pieces, and can be easily Ia
ken apart.
These men were first brought to the no
tice of Lord Elsin, ambassador from Eng
land to the Chinese court, and who pur-
chased them for one hundred guineas.
Afterwards, when Lord Elgin was Gov
ernor-G eneral of India, they were pur-
chased twenty-five years since) by an
American gentleman, and has never before
been publicly exhibited. They are now
valued at about $1,000.

SoAE idea Of the Importance Of our lum-
Der interests may be obtained from the
fact that there was cut and banked during
thewinter in the Wisconsin lumber region
alone, 206, 100000 feet of lumber, to pro-
sauce which required the labor of $500 men,
l,600 horses and $50 oxen, besides the
men and teams engaged in hauling supplies
to the camps for the use of the men, aud
the teams engaged in the actual work Of
cutting the logs.

Suggestions to Those who go TO the
Post office for their NaiI.

When YOU come to the Office after your
mail, come about twenty minutes before
the mail comes in, then you will have time
to scufile and raise cane around and in the
offce-and play with cold Jim Crow"
When the mail comes, rush IN and get as
close as you can to your box, and tell the
Postmaster or Postmistress eff you don't
put one of them letters into my box wont
come to this office again y He will be
sure to put one in.
When you call for your mail and the
Postmaster hands it out, ask him if that's
all, end tell him there ought to be another
letter or paper.
If you ask for mail and he tells you
there is none, tell him there ought to be;
then go home and send the rest of the
family around to ask at different times
through the day.
Don't bring your mail to the Office til
the mail closes; then curse the Postmaster
for not opening the mail bag and putting
your letters in. When you want stamp
on your letter, tell the postmaster to put
it on; if be don't ike it, lick him. And in
case you put it on yourself suck it in your
mouth long enough to remove all the mu-
lage: it will then stick until it is dry
Be sure to ask the Postmaster to credit
on for stamps: if he has any accommo-
.ation about him he will DO it. Three
cents amt much, if he can only get fifty or
sixty debtors.
When you come after your mail inquire
for all the family-Maggy, Jim, Mary and
Tim, don't leave any of them out if you do
they will miss getting letter.
If you have box, stand and drum on it
until the Postmaster hands out your mail;
it viii make him feel good, especially if he
or she is waiting on somebody else When
you have got your papers and letters 90
home and lay them on the table. and in
the evening 80 up town and play billiards
or cards or drink-water % till twelve or
one clock then go home and read your
paper to your wife and children.
If you never expect any mail or al least
not more than one letter in six months.
and no paper in a year, be sure to go to
the Office twice day, block up the delivery,
and after asking for mail twice, stand in
the way of those who have mail; this is
so pleasant to all concerned.

the best. If the nest egg has been cracked
by frost the beans are apt to sprout and

hay when properly ground. Sawdust
