Paint That wouldn't DRY.

An old lady wlo tYcsvnTiitac
distance from the email village OF
Qucshy, VT, writes friend, went
to the store in that place for pot
OF paint, with which she designed
ornamenting her kitchen floor.
She told the clerk, who went down
stairs to prepare tho decoction, to
put in plenty Of drying material,
and he honestly intended to do
so, but missing como polnatum
from one side Of his mustache,
the loss SO annoyed him That he
omitted paying the attention to
the order that it required, and in
stead of turpentine poured in a
generous quantity Of syrup. That
evening the old lady painted her
Aoor, and the next morning made
an examination TO test it's condi-
ton. When she opened the door,
her cat, which was following,
playfully jumped into the room,
aud then stopped. The cid lady
Immediately shoped thAnaimal,
but it didn', shoe. 1t pulled
away and tore one foot from the
floor, and sci it down again to pull
up another, which necessitated
pulling mp the first ono again.
Then it tried the experiment over
again, but with the same result.
Finally it lifted one foot and kept
it mp until another was lifted,
This gave the animal the appear.
ance oftrying to stand on its head,
Int it's plaintivc cries indicated
that snch was not it's purpose.
While thus raised it attempted to
lift the third foot, bu, in so doing
fell over and came down on it's
side in thsr psint ~ and wihere j
stuck, elawi"g The aitwits i,s
paws, and splitting forth the most
venomous sounds. The old lady
got a board, and laying it to the
cat succeeded with some difficulty
in rcscuing it. Bnt she could not
understand why that paint should
be go moist. In the afternoon
she tested the floor again with her
finger, but the paint was sill
sticky. The next morning It was
the same, and also in the afternoon.
The third morning there was no
improvement, nor any in the af-
ternoon. She was astonished.
When she touched her finger to
the paint this time she transferred
the finger to her tongue, then
opened her eyes a little wider and
tasted again. After that she put
OH her things, harncssed her horse
and started for that store. And
that evening the clerk shaved off
his mustachc aud buried his 20

The world at large advances irregu-
larly it readily adopts some new ideas,
while others, quite as important, it
very much neglects Thus it is here
in Washington Great improvements
have been made, and many are now
in progress, while 9th RS fully as
important are quite neglected. Yet
the way has been opened, the spirit
introduced. This inspires hope toward
that which as yet lies in rude condition.
The aivancements already made, aud
which are not few. will in time neces>

The place is fast becoming railroad
center, which fact will give a new spur
to the condition of things, and tend
more to develop the natural resources
of the district, which for such a length
OF time have lain dormant.
In all localities there are few men
with ample b ans to see what teGe-
fits, under favorable circumstances,
might result from improving the
various natural resources, yet who are
themselves to poor to do anything
beyond examine into the rich bounties
of nature, and to talk with their fe
friends, who are usually as helpless
as themselves, of the latent powers
with which the locality abounds.
Washington certainly has good
strees and sidewalks, particularly
sidewalks, which here extend for
blocks in very thinly-settled places,
and, in fact. for squares where there
are no houses at ALL This is done for
the convenience Of those living beyond,
for the better access to remote and
isolated parts. The city, as whole,
is not thickly scttlod-and seems the
most settled in spots OF any place we
were ever in. Here is closely built
section, and just beyond few are nc
houses at oil - if any
only few negro shanties; be

gold of political and commercial probity
has been dimmed by these transactions,
aud the suspicious they engender.
What the French mean by 5ourgeois;e,
we express by shoddy; and no word in
our language has more uniformly
accepted meaning than this of recent
coinage. We all know what shoddy
means in textile fabrics. But never

1t may seem disIoyal to our

when it is said, let the candid reader
soc if he can disprove it; what this
country needs at the present juucture

It Is solid tapeIing ohelisk Of red
granite cut from top To bottom with deep,
sharply defined ,symbolic characters which
nobody understands. Lying about five feet
below the level Of the ground, It's name
was discovered about thirty years ago.
Both were brought over one hundred miles
from the ancient city of Ga, the great
university Of ancient Egypt, where Moses
was educated. How much masses were
transported such Il distance-al the way a
desert Of sand, loose and yielding cannot
be explained yet Pharenie engineers
accomplished the feat without marring the
blocks. The horizontal one was presented
by Mahomed Ali to the English govern
ment. After some months Of effort British
artisans failed to raise Il out of its present
bed, so a vessel detailed for conveying the
curiosity TO London returned without u
cargo.
