funds, owing to the false economical views
of another set of public servants. Our
officers do what they can, and would, no
doubt, gladly raise our salaries, but can
not. This will not always be so, however,
for the school law will, no doubt, be tink-
cred again, at the next session of the Leg
islature, and probably just before adjourn
ment will be passed hurriedly, and without
consideration, thus leaving the law more
chaotic than before. l hope, however, any
change which may be made in the school
law, will be to allow the County School
Board more discretionary power, and by
them full control of tho school funds in all
respects, will enable them to do Justice to
the teachers in their employ.

THAT GLOW ON MINTzER's NosE.-Be-
fore Mintzer Joined the Temperance Socie-
ty, he would sometimes make a beast of
himself by getting drunk. One night some
of his companions finding him asleep on
the sofa Of the club house, rubbed his nose
with PHOSPHORUS for several minutes and
then walked him and took him home
There was mirror in the hat-rack, and
the entry was dark. Mintzer's nose glow
ed like an aurora borealis. When he
caught sight of the reflection in the glass,
he remarked that it was most sxtraordi-
nary thing that Mrs. Mintzer had left the
light burning, and he moved up to the
hat-rack to turn off the gas. After fumb-
ling around among the umbrellas and hat
pegs for a few moments for the stop-cock,
he concluded that the light must proceed
from candle, so he exerted himself to
blow it out. The more he pulled the
high hat and tried to jam it down over the
candle. At last he became mad, and,
snatching up an umbrella, he resolved to
smash that candle if it took him all night.
He aimed terrific blow at it, and broke
the mirror into vulgar fractions. Aroused
by the clatter, Mrs. Mintzer came to the
head of the stairs, and, obssrv ing a phos-
phorescent light fitting about in the dark
ness below, she began to scream. But
when Mintzer at last made himself known,
Mrs. Mintzer girded herself for action
She suddenly slid down the banisters, and
Selling Mintzer by the headlight which
cleaned from his face, she led him up
stairs firmly, but vigorously. Mintzer
thinks she must have compressed the
organ with certain degree Of force, for
when he arrived at the second story the
cherry glow on his nose had disappeared.
He lets Mrs Mintzer turn off the gas now,
and she always sits up for him when he is
out at night.

A Very Surprising Surprise Party.

Those surprise parties, somehow, nearly
always turn out unpleasantly. They tell
about one that came off up in Connecticut
recently which was not half as joyous Us it
should have been. 1t was reported Of
man and his wife, who had been married
for many years without having any child
rem, that they had at last been made hap
Ply by the birth of daughter. Some of
their friends determined to give the man a
presentation surprise-party. So about for
ty persons marched up to the house one
evening carrying a cradle and lots of gum
rings, and bibs, and bottles with gum noz-
zles, and a baby carriage and some little
ght-gowns, and coral armlet and
gross of soothing syrup, and socks and
paregoric. And they all burst into the
parlor at once on tiptoe. And when the
man, in amaZement, asked them what they
meant by such conduct, they said they
were coming in quietly so as not to wake
the baby. And when he blushed and
stammered, and asked, "What baby ~
they said his baby, and began to hand him
the things, and to load him up with seoth-
ing syrup and gum rings, until he floored
one of the guests with a quart bottle of
paregoric, and held him down until he ex-
planned. And then it was revealed that it
was all mistake about that little daught-
er; that no such arrival had taken place at
ali, but that the report was false. And
then the surprise party was a great deal
more surprised than the man was; and
the guests gathered up that infant furn-
ture, and tried to pretend to the man that
they never thought he had daughter, but
that they understood he had accepted
position as a director of an orphan asylum
that they brought around few things for
him to distribute among the poor, father
less children. The man said it was sngu-
larly thin, and then the company went
home. The Constitutional Convention
ought to adopt some kind of a measure to
prevent these mistakes.

disappeared. 1t reached Albany at $50

In Spite Of Pa.

Oh she was a maid Of laughing eye,
And she lived in garnet cold and high,
And he was a threadbare whiskered beau,
And he lived in cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy of the cherub wing
Has many shaft in his slender string,
And the youth below and the maiden above
Were touched with the flashing darts Of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep,
Der his tender billet dou1 TO weep;
Or stand like a statue bright and fair
And gaze on a lock Of his bright red hair.
And he who was so tall and proud,
With his step so firm and his laugh 80 loud,
HIS beard grew long and his face grew thin,
And he pinned in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in tho month ofJune,
As she lay In the light OF cloudless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear
To the startled maiden's listening ear.
Oh, then from her creaking couch she sprung,
And her tangled tresses back she flung,
She looked from the window far below,
And he stood beneath, her whiskered beau.
She did not start with foolish frown,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover tall and true,
In his threa1bare coat Of the brightest blue.
The star that rose in the evening shade
Looked sadly down on the weeping maid
The sun that came in his morning pride
Shed golden light DER a laughing bride.

ance, by the following account given
by Bailie Lewis, at recent meeting of

number of persons seen by the police to
enter one of the "hard ale" shops in
that city during one day. A "hard
ale y shop is house where customers
may get drunk for twopence halfpenny,
One pennyworth of "hard ale, !" follow
ed by three half-pennyworth of spirits,
will reduce even a seasoned topper
to a state of hopeless stupefaction.
From s to A, NJ. there entered the es-
tablishment in question on Saturday
in July 100 men and 80 women; from
8 to 10 o'clock, 100 men and 65 women;
from 10 to IL, 80 men and 40 women /;
from II to II noon, 10 men and As
women; from II to l, IS men and IS
women; from | to 2, 100 men and go
women from 2 to 3, 115 men and 60

of this "hard ale" shop made only a
profit of one halfpenny on each midi
vidual, he would have total profit OF

these figures how steadily the "wo.

Affairs i'm Texas.

II has for long time been the ia
vorite amusement of the Democratic
journals to depict the fearful condition
of affairs in Texas under the +" des-
potismn of Governor Davis. The
Houston Union gives summary Of the
things accomplished by the two years
of Gov. Davis's rule, from which we
make bold to draw the inference that
matters are 10y no means so bad as they
might be in that State, and that the
record shows condition of progress
and improvement such as any State
might envy. During these two years,
according TO the Union, 1000 free
schools have been put in operation,
over 600 miles of railroad have been
constructed, ruifianism has been sternly
dealt with, and the immigration has
been larger than in any six preceding
years. Private and public enterprises
have flourished, and large amount o!
capital has been drawn into the State
to assist in its development. II all
this is despotism, Texas may well be
content TO have more of il.
