a uniform system of bankruptcy

duc;ive OF more evil than good mt
this time. Many considerations
might be urged for its tota: repeal,
but, if this is not considered advist-
bio [ think it will not be seriously y
questioned that those portions OF said
act providing for what is called ILL.,
voluntary bankruptcy operate to i'll

the country. Careful und prudent
men very often become Involved in
debt in the transaction of business,
and though they may possess ample
property, if it could be made avaiia-
BILE for that purpose, TO meet all the
liabilities, yet, on account of the e&-
traOrtiinary scarcity of money, they

easily alarmed as to money matters
that the mere tiliug of q petition-i,j

co,nplish the financia.t ruin-of re-

The VentrilOq1ist orr the Dock.

Quite an exciting time, says re-
porter of the Cleveland Herald, oc-
Cured at one of our wharves re-
Gently.
The hands Of one of our steamers
were engaged in rolling off a cask,
when to the surprise and conster-
nation of the persons performing
that operation, a voice was heard
inside the cask.
"Roll it easy; these plaguey
nails hurt, I'd rather pay my pass
age than stand all this"
Holding up their hands, their
eyes expanding to the size of two
ssucers, the two laborers exclaim-
ed
"That beats the dickens :"
The mate coming up at this mo-
ment and unaware Of the cause of
delay, commenced scolding them
for their dilatoriness, when within
the cask the voice came forth:
you're nobody; let me out of
this cask."
"What's that Z" said the mate.
"Why, it's me-" said the voice.
al want to get out l won't stand
this any longer"
Cup end the cask," said the
mate.
"Oh, don't, you'll kill me-" said
the voice; ooh, how these nails
prick! Look out-don't again
said the casked up individual, as
the men were turning it over.
Cooper, said the mate, "unhead
the cask and take out that man."
As the adze sundered the hoops,
and the head was coming out, the
voice again broke forth
"Be easy, now is there any one
about / don't want to be caught"
Quite a crowd had gathered
around the scene of action, when q
low gutteral laugh broke forth,
which made our hair stand on end,
and the cask was found filed with
bacon.
"What does that mean r. says
one.
ait beats my time," said the
mate.
We enjoyed the joke too well to
tell what it meant, as we walked off
arm in arm with the ventriloquist.

Joined Twins.

Persons who have seen from time
to time the well known Siamese
twins, or the two young colored
girls joined from the shoulders to
the hip, that have been exhibited
in this country and Europe since
our late civil war, have found it
difficult to refrain from disagreea-
bic speculations as to what may be
the circumstances of the one or the
other of tho pairs when the final
dissolution of death shall come.
There is an instance on record in
the "Every Day Book of Home"
which shows the fate of what were
known as Biddenden maids, born
at Biddcnden, England, in the year
100, and who were joined at the
hips and shoulders. They thus
lived thirty-four years, when one of
them died. The other was advised
to be separated from her at once,
but answered: Gas we came to-
gether, we will also go together"
and was taken i'll and died in six
hours after. Their names were
Elizabeth and Mary Culkhurst.

discovered, threatening to fill the
ship. The crew were all strong,
willing men, and the mates were
practical seamen of the first class
but after pumping for the whole
night, and still the water was gain
ing on them, they gave up in des-
pair and prepared to take to the
boats, though they might have
known that no small boat could live
in such a sea. The captain who
had been below with his charts,
now came up; he saw how matters
stood, and with voice that was
heard distinctly above the roar of
the tempest, he ordered every man
back to his post.
1t was surprising TO see those
strong men bow before the strong
will of the captain and hurry back
to the pumps.
The captain, then started below
to examine the leak. AS he passed
me l asked him if there was any
hope. He looked at me, then at
the other passengers, who had
crowded up to hear his reply, and
said rebulxingly:
eyes, sir, there is hope as long
as one inch of this deck remains
above water When | see none of
it then | shall abandon the vessel,
and not before, nor any of my
crew, sir. Everything will be done
to save it, and if we fail it will not
be from inaction. Bear q hand,
every one of You, at the pump"
Thrice during the day did we
despair; but the captains daunt-
less courage, perseverance and
powerful will mastered every mind
on board, and we went to work
again.
81 will land you safely at the
dock in Liverpool" he said elf you
will be men,"
And he did land us safely, but
the vessel sank, moored to the
dock. The captain stood on the
deck of the sinking vessel, receiv-
ing the thanks and blessings of the
passengers as they passed on the
gang plank. / was the last to
leave. AS l passed he grasped my
hand and said:
"Judge P, do you recognize
me ?"

stepped aboard his ship.

search of geography years ago,

ly."

you"

Scandal.

A soft, light tone and low,
Yet barded with shame and woe;
Now might IL perish only there,
Nor further go"

Mistakes.

The editor Of the Star R tic
West furnishes the following mod
est attempts at correctings certain
rather widespread mistakes;
1t is mistake to suppose that
the subscription price of paper is
clear gain to the publishers.
1t is mistake to suppose that
he gets his white paper for nothing.
1t is a mistake to suppose that it
is printed without cost.
1t is . mistake to suppose that
he can 1--we, bodily, by faith.
II is mistake to suppose that il
is easy to please everybody.
1t is mistake to suppose that a
paper is worth buying which con-
tains only what one knows and be-
lieves already.
1t is a mistake to suppose that
due for the paper would be
as good to US in year as it would
pow.
, II is mistake to suppose that we
would not be thankful for what is
iuc 10 us, and for new subscribers.

Making Garden.
From the panbury Ncws.

From the Danbury News.
We suppose there is time that
comes to every man when he feels
he should like to have a garden.
II he takes such notion he will
tell his wife about it. This is the
first mistake he makes, and the
ground thus lost is never fully re-
covered. She draws her chair mp
to his, and lays one hand on his
knee, and purses her lips into q
whistle Of oxpectation,--the vixen
and tells about her mothers gar
den, and how nice il is to have
vegetables fresh from the vines
every morning, and she win go

right out and plan the whole thing
herself. And so she does. He
takes his spade, and works him
self into a Precipitation, and she
tramps around under a frightful sun
bonnet, and gets under his feet and
shIieks at the worms, and loses her
shoe and makes him first vexed
and then mad, and then ferocious.
After the garden is spaded he gets
the seed, and finds she has been
thoughtful enough to open the pa
pers, and empty thirteen varieties
of different vegetables into one
dish. This leads him to step out
doors where he communes with ma
ture alone for a moment. Then he
takes up the seed and a hoe andline,
and two pegs, and goes to the gar
den. And then she puts on that
awful bonnet, and brings up the
rear with a long handled rake, and
a pocket full of beans and petunia
seed, and dahlia bulbs. While he
is planting the corn, she stands Oh
the cucumber hills and rakes over
the seed pan. Then she puts the
rake handle over her shoulder, and
the rake-teeth into his hair, and
walks over the other beds. He
don't find the squash seed until she
moves, and then he digs them out
of the earth with his thumb. She
plants the beet seed herself, put
ting about two feet of earth and
sod upon them. Then she takes
advantage of his absorption in 9TH
er matters, and puts down tho
petunia seed in one spot, and after
wards digs them up, and puts them
down in another place. The beans
she conceals in the earth wherever
she can find a place, and puts the
bulbs in the cucumber hills. Then
she tips over the seed pan again,
and apologies, and steps on two of
the best tomato plants, and says 40,
my" which in no way resembles
what he says. About this time she
discovers better place for tho
petunia seed, but having forgotten
where she last put them, and with
in an incredible short space of time
succeeds in unearthing pretty much
everything that has been put down.
After confusing things so there is
no earthly possibility of ever un-
ravelling them again, she says the
sun is killing her, and goes over to
the fence where she stands four
hours, telling the woman next door
about an aunt of hers who was con-
fined to her bed for eleven years,
and had eight doctors from the city,
but nothing would give her any re-
lief until an old lady-but you have
heard it before. The next day
man comes to his Office to get the
pay for a patent seed sower which
his wife has ordered, and he no
moro than gets away before the
patentee of a new lawn mower
comes in with an order for ten dol
lars, and he in turn is followed by
the corn shelter man, and the mis-
erable gardner starts for home to
head off the robbers, and find his
wife at the gate with his own hat
on, and just about to close a bar
gain with smooth face individual
for two hundred dollar moving
machine, and pearl handled, ivory
mounted hay cutter. He first
knocks the agricultural implement
agent on the head, and then drags
the miserable woman into the
house, and locking the door, gives
himself up to his emotions.
