All Sorts Of Paragraphs.

- The prisoner who was asked If he had
anything to say before he received sentence,
told the Judge he would like to have the sentence
transposed, if it made no difference to him, so
he could receive ten cents instead of sentence.
- In Victor Hugo's new play, "Maria Tu-
DOR" one of the characters is made to say ::
''You should never remind a man whose hair
is white, and whose face is wrinkled, of his
politics at twenty, or of the woman he loved
then"
- Mr. Martin Madison, of the firm of
Madison, Pierce & Co., of Southampton,
England, will, it is stated, reach the ripe old
age of 115 years in May next He is very
active, regularly attends to business and bears
no sign of decay or incapacity
- That was capital reply made by General
Kemper to Colonel Hughes at Warrenton the
other day, when Hughes said his party 1.-THE
Radicals was the party of relief ''True," said
Kemper, "they have relieved the Southern
people of nearly all they had"
- The St. Louis Democrat says: "Our ex-
perence and the history of the past eighteen
centuries incline us to the belief that no mat
ter how we'll you treat shot gun, nor how you
bring it up, it will bang the stutfn out of you
the very first time it gets chance"
- At recent tea-party young man who
ploits in various parts of the globe, was not
little set back by the remark Of an old traveller:
"Young man amt you ashamed to talk so
when there are older liars at the tablet"
- The Irishman had correct appreciation
of the business, who; being asked by the Judge,
when he applied for license to sell whiskey,
if he was of good, moral character, replied
"Faith, yer honor I don't see the necessity
of good moral character to sell whis-
key"
- The Manchester Democrat thinks it nigh
ty hard that Grant must get along this winter
on a double salary, and there are the working
men of the country enjoying the luxury of
reduced wages, higher taxes, and in many
instances no work. God help those whose
salaries have been raised the rest will get
along some way.
-"Father,'' said lady of the new school
to her indulgent spouse, as he resumed his pipe
after supper one evening, "you must buy our
dear Georgiana an English grammer and spell
ing book. She has gone through her French,
German, Latin and Greek-music, drawing
and dancing-and now must commence her
English studies"
- An editor of an Indiana paper indignant
ly denies the report that he has committed
suicide. A paper published in a neighboring
isn't it ought to be; and as the denial is only
published in single country paper, while the
contrary is asserted by at least dozen dailes,
the weight of evidence is against him.
- One good result of the panic is said by a
New York paper to be the perceptible falling
off in the number of bottles of wine that were
formerly opened in the course of an evening at
the club rooms, and even the record of the sale
of the cheaper beverages shows chat economy
and temperance have suddenly unfoded attrac-
tions that have hitherto been despised.
- blind man, woman, hand organ,
and little girl, are family group travelling
! around the city of Detroit soliciting aims.
The man holds out his hand, the woman turns
the organ, and the little girl appeals as follows
"Won't you please give few cents to poor
blind man who had his eyes blown up while
he was firing cannon on the Fourth of July,
and hain't got any home and has got to go
round begging and is in poor health and has
got the consumption and broke his arm the
day before last Christmas, and God loves a
cheerful giver."
- The New York Journal Of Commerce holds
these views: Wages must 60 down or work
will not go on The absurd eight hours sys-
tenn must be abolished or manufacturers must
fail. The time has now arrived for these fet-
tiers on business to be removed. In everything
else but wages there is a falling off, and the
turn has now come for wages. Either there
must be more work done per day, or there
must be less pay for a days work. From this
alternative we think there is no escape, and
the failure in manufacturing establishments
which we are beginning to record are the pre-
lude of general movement for the reduction
of wages to standard more reasonable than
! the present one.
