Cropping for light, as it were, in this credit
mObilier business, we must confess that progress
Is slow and, moreover, meandering. For in

stating positively, in regard to the ten thousand
dollar contribution Of DIR. Durant for the re-
election of Senator Harlan, that sit was not

his benefit that Mr.. Harlan heard of il }" and the
ChrOaicie goes on TO say: 'Let if be remembered
that there is no pretense that MIR. Harlan had
the handling or use of this money, or ever
touched dollar of it," This is all very salts

The word "embOlism,'' used to express the
cause of Napoleons death, is derived from the
Greek "embolus' meaning anything acting or
inserted in another like wedge or the piston
OF a steam engine. In pathological science the
term is applied to express the formation Of a
clot, either in the heart itself or In one of the
large blood vessels, which operates as plug or
luxe piston that will not work This clot is
said TO have been the immediate cause of Napo-
Icons death; and doubtless there have been
hundreds Of strong men in common life who
have died in the same way, and none OF their
friends knew they had "embolism.,

Vg A good story is told of Judge Rice.
About the commencement of the war he
made speech in North Alabama in which
he said the Southern soldiers could whip
the Yankees with pop guns. Since the
war, he chanced to make another speech
at the same place. A big double jointed
fellow was present who heard and remem-
bered the former speech, and being in adj
mirable frame of mind, concluded to go for
Sam. Rolling up his sleeves and putting
his fist in the palm of his hand, he pro-
pounded the fearful question
"Sam Rice, didn't you make speech
here in 1861 ?'
81 did," said Sam.
And didn't you say we scould whip the
Yankees withEpop guns?"
Certainly did, but the id ras-

Not the Right Card.

A Philadelphia druggist sent his clerk out
to drum for sales of oil. He carried the
card of the proprietor and the picture of
his girl in his side pocket. He called upon
tradesman in Perry Co., and tossed
card upon the counter, saying that he rep
resented that establishment. The trades
man picked it up, gave it steady look,
and said it was fine establishment, and
was informed by the clerk that he repre-
sented it about three years, whereupon he
remarked to the youth that he supposed
he would soon be a partner. The youth
said he should be pleased to sell him some
coal oil, and that his establishment handled
more oil than any other in Philadelphia
The tradesman took another look at the
card and asked the boy if he wasn't mis-
taken. He blushingly guessed he was as
he returned his girls picture to his pocket

CsS In certain German school a new
German teacher had been procured. In
his class were two boys, one named Wilk-

one Of the boys what his name was.
He answered "Wilkins."
He asked the other.
He answered "Wilkinson."
The teacher not hearing the last syllable,
said "Ah Wilkins brother?"
"No," said Wilkinson "not Wilkins

1t sounded somewhat like Wilkins son.
The teacher, after thinking awhile, said :

to be your father?'
