"A young man who enjoys the sobriquet OF
"Frank," in parting with young lady the
other night, endeavored to impress his custom
ary kiss, when she forcibly pushed back his
head, and said, mo, sir, you don't-the Jrank-
i,q privilege is abolished"
G"What shall give my boy to make him
honored and respected ?" writes an attectionate
father. Education and moral precepts were
once required to accomplish this purpose,
but nothing less than diamond pin will now
cover the ground.
"A town in Massachusetts is the proud
possessor of cat that picks up pins and puts
them into a paper, whenever she finds one.
After getting a hundred, she exchanges them
for meat at the butchers. The beauty of this
tale is its undoubted, undeniable truth. -.
A county clergyman, paying profession
al visit to dying neighbor who was a very
churlish and universally unpopular man, put
the usual questions: "Are you willing to 60,
al am" "Well," said the simple minded min
lister, "I am glad you are, for the neighbors are
willing"
- Judge VIM. H. Cooley, who fell in the
late New Orleans duel, was considered one Of
the best story-tellers in Louisiana, and he ex-
ercised his talent to wide circle of admiring
friends. On his way to the fatal ground the
morning of the meeting, he kept those with
him in the railway train in constant roars OF
laughter.
"A talkative man annoyed lady at din.
ner party by constantly arguing in favor of
strong drink, and at last said to her: "You
know, madam, drinking drives away care and
makes us forget what is disagreeable; would
YOU not allow man to drink for that reason 2"
"Well, perhaps So" said the lady, "if be sat
next to you."
AT the extra term of the Court recently
held in Yorkville, several actions were tried,
in which the suits were brought on negro
notes, one where the notes were given after the
date of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation,
others where the notes were given before that
day. The result in both classes of cases was
the same, the jury refused to give dollar in
payment for the negroes.
- The moral atmosphere of Chicago has
permeated even to Kansas. We read that
strange lady stopped at hotel in Oswego in
that State, called in an able judge named Per-
kins, who granted her divorce at once, and
in fifteen minutes afterwards she married an
other man. This idea of calling in a judge,
as if he were a physician, is something unique
in practice, but will doubtless become popu-
/ lar.
A young lady of Nashville is changing
her views somewhat relative to the question of
matrimony. She says that when she "came
out" in society, she determined she would not
marry man unless he was an Episcopalian.
Time passed on and she did not get married,
and then modified her views, and concluded
she would marry no man who was not Chris
tian. That young lady is still unmarried and
says now that all she is looking for is a man
that don't drink whiskey.
- There is 800 greenback at Wyandotte
that has history. 1t was paid by bank in
that city. At the latter doubts were raised as
to its genuineness and the bill was sent to F.
E. Spinner, Treasurer of the United States at
Washington, who returned the bill stamped in
two places counterfeit" Itwas then returned
to the Wyandotte bank, and unwilling to lose
it was sent again to Washington for re-exam-
ination. A day or two ago the Wyandotte
bank received advices that upon another ex-
animation of the bill at the Treasury Depart
ment it was declared genuine.
The Boston Traveller thinks it somewhat
remarkable that the Temporary insanity so
much spoken of in these days never incites its
subjects to do benevolent deeds, but always
works toward crime. Several persons" it
SAYS. "who are extremely well-to-do have re-
Gently committed the highest criminal ofenses.
1t has been proved that at the moment they
were insane it has also been proved that some
of them at previous periods of their existence
had exhibited signs of insanity; these being
noticeable in some cases as to render confine-
ment necessary; and yet no one of these per-
sens was ever accused of having done benev-
olent deed while temporarily insane. 1t is
somewhat strange that the effects of this tenn
porary insanity should always assume the form
of crime"
