The old man would not speak when

his name Darius Green, and his age a.

of some one to carry from the commit

How PTTliAN CLEANED Ills CHIMNET.
Mr.. Pitman's chimney had been foul
for some time. and when he mentioned
the fact 81 the drug store, Mr.. Squills
said he could easily clean it out by ex-
pIoding a little powder in the fireplace.
The idea seemed to PitInan to be good
one, and he bought almost ten pounds
of powder in order TO do the work thor
ouglly at the first blast. The men We're
busy graveling his roof that day, and
Just as the Judge was about to touch OF
the charge, a workman named Snyder
leaned over the top of the chimney, to
call "A man below TO send up more tar.
Then the Judge lit the slow match. The
view that'met the eye Of Mr. Snyder, a.
he went up was fine one, embracing as
it did Cape and Omaha, and CONSTANT
nople and Baltimore, and the Sandwich
Islands, and when he got enough Of
drinking in the scenery he came down ia
thesriyer. apparently with the intention
of exploring the bottom. When he was
fished out, he was glad to learn not only
that the Judges chimney was clean, but
that it would need about four cart-loads
of brick to repair the damages. After
this the Judge will clean his tiues with
brush fastened TO a clothes prop.

LIVE LIKE LOVERS. s.-3larried people
should treat each other like lovers all
their lives-then they would be happy.
Bickering and quarreling would soon
break off love affairs; consequently low

women bOth-when they have once got

They make a great mistake. IL causes
all the difference in the world. Women
should grow more devoted and men
more fond after marriage, If they have
the slightest idea Of being happy as

THE FAMINE IN NEBRASKA.-Death
from starvation-for the actual want of
food-within eighteen hours travel of
Chicago, and in the heart of the grain
growing region of the country, is some
thing that should attract the attention
of the public. General Ord, commanding
the department of the Platte, and who
is personally cognizant of the facts. ad-
dressed the Board of Trade, yesterday,
telling, in plain and direct terms, the
sad story of the destruction in Western
Nebraska. caused by the ravages of the
grasshoppers. From the report Of his
officers on the ground and among these
people. he has reliable information as TO
the actual condition of affairs. He states
that several cases of actual death Of chill
dren have already taken place. Faith
ers have been compelled to ABANDON
their families and seek work aud food.
In one house the corpse of a child was
found that had perished for want of
food. and near it the mother, PROSTATE

states that in Boone, Greeley, Sherman,

EXCUSE MY GLOVE"

Certain kinds of mistaken pOlitenesS,
sincere as they are, are absurd enough
to be grotesque. 4 common mistake of
this sort, with some persons, even in large
cities. is to say, Excuse my glove"
when they offer their hand to a cas-
ual acquaintance, or in an introduction
to stranger. 1t might be inferred from
this remark that the wearing of gloves
is either extremely rare in a civilized
community, or that the wearer wishes to
advertise the extraordinary fact that he
has gloves. All he really desires is to
appear polite; never suspecting for a
moment that he is simply ridiculous.
If you offer to shake hands with any
one in a place where it is customary to
wear gloves, you certainly need no ex-
cuse for compliance with the habit.
You might with equal reason, on receiv-
ing a visitor at your house, apologize to
him for not removing your coat before
bidding him welcome.
The superfiuous phrase probably had
its origin in the days when gloves were
clumsy, and used more for protection
than as an essential of dress. Then the
naked hand was thought to be an evil
dence of good will and cordiality. Since
gloves have been universally adopted,
the idea of asking pardon for wearing
them is an anarchronism as well as an
improperly.
Gloves are now made to fit exactly, so
that, were it courtesy to take them off
on encountering ones friends or ac-
quaintances, an amount OF time and
trouble would be required which would
inevitably render a social greeting at
once a comicaI exhibition and bore.
