= An exchange tells us that "the ladies OF

- Josh Billings has written some sense and
much nonsense, but somehow has a wonderful
faculty of mixing the two together as though
he did not know the difference. But there IS
no question as to which category the following

rest follow, however ridiculous it may be; and
I suppose sheep laff when they see US doing
the very same thing"

promises to have the effect of combining them
into unity of effort for the accomplishment of

: The Boston Transcript says firm IN New
Hampshire has been building novel class OF
locomotives for the wooden track railways in
the lumber regions of Georgia. They are only
six tons in weight, and have very large cylin-
ders for so light machines. The capacity for
carrying water and fuel is very great, the whole

An exchange tells a pleasing tale of two
crippled soldiers of the late war, one Confed-
crate and the other Federal, who have fallen
together in New York, and formed partner
ship for running hand.organ. "These crippled
soldiers" says a Northern newspaper, could
not probably define the word craftsmanship,

Willingness to make the best of the present,
which many professional statesmen might study
and emulate to their own credit and the infinite
advantage of the country"

the daily supply for the private cats of adjoin,,

customers who religiously market for their

was recently tried, convicted, and sentenced to
be hanged for the murder of his landlady, Mrs.
Hess, in Meriden, Conn.,, does not care to have
another trial, though his counsel have succeed.
ed in securing one for him. He is an educated
and intelligent man, and formerly, according
to his own statement, was lieutenant in the
Swedish army. He believes that second trial
would be of no use to him; he had rather die

tremely nervous he does not believe himself
to be insane. He has evidently "lost his grip
on life.
