A Pleasant Incident.

The German Emperor, while visiting
avillage, was welcomed by the school
children OF the place. After making a
speech for them he took an orange
from plate and asked ITO what king
dom does this belong p
"Tbe vegetable kingdom, sire re-
piled the girl. The emperor took q
gold coin from his pocket ami holding
it up asked, And to what kingdom
does this belong"
ITO the mineral kingdom, SIRE re-
piled the little girl
And to what kingdom do belong.
then p asked the Emperor. The little
girl colored deeply, for she did not like
to say, 1.-THE animal kingdom as he
thought che would, least his majesty
might BE- offended, when q bright
thought came, aud she said, with radi~
ant eyes, ITO Gods kingdom, sire "
The Emperor was deeply moved. \
tear stood in his eye. He placed his
hand on the child's head and said most
devoutly:
God grant that may be accounted
worthy OF that kingdom y

The Parkersburg State JOurna! gives
currency to "rumor" to the effect
that certain State officers who con-
troll the public funds have entered into
a secret arrangement with lew pet
banks who are apparently to pay to the
State low rate OF interest for the use
OF the public money, when in fact these
moneys are loaned out, in the interest
of the Ring at much higher rates, and
the excess thus obtained divided among
those who are in the secret"
Would it not have been about as
well, Governor, if you had waited for
the facts" rather than run the risk OF
circulating what may prove to be a
scandalous and libelous "rumor?
Currency was given, sometime ago
70 another "rumor" to the effect that
the State Treasurer had failed to &C.
count for any interest received from
banks on account of deposits OF
State funds, but had appropriated
all OF the proceeds of such
deposits TO his own use. And
this "rumor" proved to be an inexcus'
able falsehood, as can be seen by any
one on referring to the Auditors report
The present "rumor" will probably
prove quite as groundless, and even
more slanderous, because it duplicates
the officers of the banks which have be-
come State repositories as well as the
State officers.
Gov. JACOB has caused "rumors' TO
the discredit OF another State officer to
be circulated pretty widely, but he has
not shown sufficient confidence in his
"rumor" TO act upon it as he is sworn
10 do ifhe believed it to be true.
Give US more facts and fewer rumors

COMPROMISING the Cloth.

A very wicked anecdote, but one passa-
BILE as piece Of ludicrous news, ID told by
the Green Bay (Wis.) Adoocate, of an ex-
emplary clergyman and respectable elderly
lawyer of neighboring city While on
their way, about two miles from that city,
to attend dying man, their buggy broke
down, and they started on afoot A lady,
coming along with two-seated, open bug
gy, invited them to ride, which they accept
ed, the minister taking the front seat with
the fair driver. She drove them into town,
and dashed up and down the principal
street, making great sensation, setting
the people on the walks into loud outlaws.
They didn't discover until afterward that
she was woman noted for much wicked
ness and little virtue.

Which Should Bear the Loss ,

One friend, a merchant, proposes to
another, and underwater, to insure his
ship, lost or not lost, which ought soon ar
rive. The underwater hesitates, takes the
policy home, and says, 81 will return it
tomorrow, signed or unsigned" Early in
the morning the merchant receives intelli-
gence of the loss of his vessel. He knows
his religious brother, and sends clerk
(who is ignorant of the loss) to say, Neigh
Dor A. informs thee that if thou hast not
underwritten, thou needest not do it.'--
The underwater draws the inference that
the vessel is safe. He has not actually
signed, but pretending to look for the
policy, contrives to sign it by stealth, and
says to the clerk, " Tell thy master l had
signed"

The Tautology of Legal Jargou.

Some idea of the tautology of legal for
mula may be gathered from the following
specimen, wherein, if a man wishes to give
another an orange, instead of saying, 81
give you that orange, he must set forth his
"act and head" thus:-" give you all and
singular, my estate and interest right,
title, and claim, and advantage of in and
to that orange, with all its rind, skin, juice,
pulp, and pips, and all right and adyan-
tages therein, with full power to bite, cut,
suck, or otherwise eat the same orange, Oh
give the same away, with or without its
rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pips, anything
heretofore or hereinafter, or in any other
deed of deeds, instrument or instruments,
Of what kind or nature soever to the con-
trary in anywise Notwithstanding.

A PerpIexed Legislator.

A gentleman who occupied seat in the
upper branch Of the New York Legislature,
but at the time was member Of the As
sembly, relates the following:
Perkins was as honest man as ever set
a foot in Albany. Money wouldn't buy
him and knew it, but / thought l would
have little fun with him, so went down
to his room one evening and said, /" Per-
kins, what do you think of chat under
ground railroad billP Are you going to
vote for it?"
"Well," said Perkins, Il haven made
up my mind yet, exactly. am inclined to
think it is good bill, but why do you
ask 20 rsr
81 thought you were in favor Of it, y said
/, "and as long as you have concluded to
vote for it, just wanted to say to you that
the men interested in it are paying five
hundred dollars for votes, and asst is COM
ing up on its final passage tomorrow, you
can just was well have the money as not
you'll vote for the bill anyway" '
HVote for the bill p I'll be hanged
first" cried the irate Perkins. g No, sir.
If improper means are being taken to, pass
this thing as you say, 1 for one, will vote
against it every time. You can put me
down "no.'" Iu ..f s.tt ua,s suG
80, don't care anything about the
BILL" said l. 81 was only trying to dc
you favor, and think can yet, for to
tell the truth, the rival companies are all
here in full force and are moving heaven
and earth to defeat it. They are paying
the same amount for noes, and as long
as you are bound to vote that way, I'll get
you the five hundred dollars all the same. !"
" Can such things be P'' exclaimed Per
kins, raising from his seat and tearing up
and down the room in whirlwind of right
eous wrath and virtuous indignation. What
a state of things this is A plague on
both of your houses, won't vote at all.''
"All right" said l, "I'll get you the
five hundred dollars for being absent"
And as the jolly Senator brougbtto mind
the horror of perplexity in which this last
proposition involved old Perkins, he roar
ed with laughter. s- ,.,,
