A Kansas paper revives amusingly how
Gen. Sherman failed as couspicuously in
law as be succeeded brilliantly in war
In the early 'jayhawking" days, the
General made a slender livelihood in
Calhoun County, and once, when he had
prepared himself most elaborately, it is
related that long, lank, lean genius -
leaving his OK team, came before the court
as his competitor. The General summed
up grandly, quoting freely from an i'm
meOsc pile of books placed carefully be
fore him, and citing the English common
law to prove his point. The "bull.
whacker' followed him, and ridiculed
his precedents aud secuted at his books
He said it was an insult to the court to
read from "the common law of England" ="
and declared that "if we were compelled
TO take any of that aristocratic British
law" he wanted the "veIy best Her
Majesty had, and none of her common
law" That was enough the Justice s
face was set, and the General lost his
case. 1t was the last he ever tried in
Kansas.

WHEN DOCTORS DISAGREE

Where can patients look for relief? The expert
ence of every Dyspeptic tends to prove that the
proper method of treatment of that wide spread
disease, Dyspepsia, is not to be found in any of
the regular school of medicine. You cannot
find any three physicians who will agree upon
this point; each has some pet theory of his
own; and each patient is but in truth subject
for experiment. The only efectual remedy
for this terrible scourge is

How TO PIANT-Tho modern style OF
planting flower beds is to have masses
or entire beds of one sort or color-rather
than a mixture, A little experience and
study will teach any one how to do this
with good effect. Of course care must
be taken TO have the taller growing
plants in the rear or centre Of the beds,
and low ones in front.
RIBBON PLANTISG IL the name given
TO a new style Of arranging flower beds
in vogue among fashionable tiorist, It
requires some skill and knowledge cf
plants, but this can easily he learned,
and is very pleasing study. The plan
is to set plants of the same height and
color in row, several rows forming the
bed. In making these ribbon beds, be
careful to set plants of the proper height,
and those that will keep in flower long
time, because when one kind is done
Towering .he effect is spoiled A very
pretty ribbon bed is made by taking dit
ferent colors Of the same flower, like
Phlox Drummondli,. Purtulaca, Stocks
or Asters. Those who make the trial
for the first time will do well TO com.
mence with the different coloFs of the
Phlox Drummondi.

A Nabob's Visit to New York.
BY MARX TWAIN.


AZ told by him in his new book entitled "Roughng
It," now in press.
In Navada there used to be current
the story OF an adventure of two of her
na6obS, which may or may not have oc-
Cured. | give it Tor what it is worth
Col. Jim had seen somewhat of the
world, and knew more or less OF its
waSs; but Col. Jack was from the back
settlements Of the States, had led life
of arduous toll, and had never seen 8
city These two, blessed with sudden
wealth, projected Il visit To New York
Jack to see the sights, and Col. Jim to
guard his unsophistication from misfor-
tune. They reached San Francisco in
the night, and sailed in the morning.
Arrived in New York, Col. Jack said !:
give heard tell of carriages all my
life, and now mean to have a ride in
one don't care what it costs. Come
along"
They stepped out on the sidewalk,
aud Col Jim called stylish 3arouche
But Col. Jack said:
"No, sir! None Of your cheap-John
turnouts for me. Pm here TO have a
good time, and money amt any object.
| mean to have the nobbiest rig that's
going. Now here Comes the very trick.
Stop that yaller one with the pictures
on it-don'J you fret-Pll stand all the
expenses myself"
So Col. Jim stopped an empty omni-
bus and they got in. Said Col. Jack
"Ain't it gay, though ? Oh no, reck-
on not Cushions and windows and pic
lures, till yoa can't rest. What would
the boys say if they could see us cutting
swell like this in New York? BY
George, wish they could see u.s."
Then he put his head out of the win
dow aud shouted to the driver;
"Say, johnny, this suits me-suits
yours, truly, you bet you! want this
shebang all day, Pm on it, old man
Let 'em out Make 'em go! Wen make
it all right with you, sonny!
The driver passed his hand through
the strap-hole and tapped for his tarc-it
vas before gongS came into common
use. Col Jack took the hand and shooS
i. cordially. He said -,
"You twig me, old pard All right be-
tween gents Smell of that, and see how
you like it -
And he put twenty dollar gold piece
in the drivers hand Alter moment
the driver said he could not make
change.
"Bother the change! Ride 1t out. Put
it in your pocket"
Then to Col. jim, with sounding
slap en- his thigh
"Amt it style. though? Hanged If
don't hire this thing every day tor a
week."
The omnibus stopped, and young la
dy got in. Col. Jack stared a moment
then nudged COL Jim with his elbow
u"Don't say word" he whispered

"Give il TO the driver, please"
"Take back your money, madam. We
can't allow it, You're welcome to ride
here as long as you please, but this she
bangs chartered, and we can't let you
pay cent"
The girl shrunk into a corner, bewil-
dered. An old lady with basket climb
ed in, and proAered her fare.
"Excuse me-" said Col, Jack. "You
are perfectly welcome here, madam, but
we can't allow you 10 pay. Set right
down there, mum, aud don't he the least
uneasy, Make yourself just as free as if
you was in your own turnout"
Within two minutes, three gentlemen,
two fat women, and a couple Of children
entered.
"Comc right along, friends, said Col.
Jack. "Don't mind as. This is free
/ hlow-ou'." Then be whispered to Col.
Jim, "New York amt no sociable place,
| don't reckon-it amt no name for il |!
He resisted every effort TO pass fares
to the driver, aud made everybody cor
daily welcome. The situation dawncd
on the people, and they pocketed their
money, and delivered themselves up to
covert enjoyment Of the episode. Half a
dozen more passengers entered
"Oh, there's plenty of room, said Col.
Jack. "Walk right in, and make your
selves at home. \ blowout amt worth

Col. Jim-"but aimb these New Workers

too? Icebergs ain't anywhere | reck.
on they'd tackle q hcarse if it was going
their way"
More passengers got in; more yet,
and still more, Both seats were filled
aud file of men were standing up, hold
ing on to the cleats overhead. Parties
with baskets aud bundles were climbing
up on the roof. Halt-snppressed laugh
Ter rippled up from all sides.
"Well, tor clean, cool, out-and-out

WoMAN's PowER.-Those disasters
which break down the spirit of man,
PROSTATE him in the dust, seem TO call
forth all the energies of the softer sex,
and give such intepidity and elevation
10 their character, that at times it ap-
proaches to sublmity. Nothing can be-
more touching than to behold soft and
tender female, who had been all weak
ness and dependence, and alive TO every
trivial roughness, while treading the
prosperous paths of life, suddenly rising
in mental force to be the comforter and
supporter of her husband under misfor-
tune, and abiding with unshrinking firm
ness the hitteress blasts of adversely. As
the vine has long twined lis graceful foli-
age about the oak, and been lifted by it
in sunshine, will, when the hardy plant is
ritted by the thunderbolt, cling round it
with its caressing tendriis, and bind up
its shattered boughs SO it is beautifully
ordered by Providence that woman, who
is the mere dependent and ornament of
man in his happier hours, should be his
stay and solace when smitten with sud
den calamity; winding herself into the
rugged recesses of his nature, tenderly
supporting his drooping head, and bind,
ing up the broken heart.
