Gossip and Gleanings
A proverb is one mans wit and all mems
wisdom.
Judge every man by his best naoment.-
Emerson.
Funeral bells are the door bells Of the other
world.
The true science of philosoph is that OF
dreaming happily.
Maxims are the condensed good sense of
nations.
Arkansas has several schools for Journa-
lism. They are chiefly shooting galleries.
Little events that turn the tide of fortune
are big events seen through the wrong end
of the telescope.
A Delaware girl puts on great airs Lecause
she has been the cause of five suicides among
the young men in her neighborhood.
The agriculture of the human body has
hitherto largely consisted in top dressing,
if we may judge by the number of capillary
fertilizers we see advertised in the papers.
A gentleman noticing the masses of false
hair upon the head Of the ladies at the thea.
tire the other evening, laughingly said that
they undoubtedly belonged to the 'desd-
heads"
"How much for this print?' 'Nine cents,
num-" nineteen cents? I'll give ven
eighteen" 'Nine cents, mum; you mi sun

you eight"
tits now believed that the mere sight of
Ben Butler standing in front of the st.
Charles Hotel, New Orleans, picking his
teeth with pearl-handled dagger, would be
sufficient to restore order in that distracted
community.
Happy thought-That of the fashionable
school teacher, who, when asked by a pupil
"who is the present King of Switzerlandpn
said, ''Ths is not the hour, you know, when
talking is permitted. Ask me at the next
session and will tell you''-and then rushed
for the bookcase.
Couier-Jomaal: An Oregon town is de-
scribed as ''nestling meath the ever restless
and shifting shadows of blue aad brown
and broken mountain" 1t is little strange
that in country where mountains are plen-
tiful enough for every man to have one in his
backyard, whole town should consent to
up alongside of such discolored and debili-
tated old elevation as that.
poetical fashion-writer says, "The in
visible shades and pronounced checks, are
well worth expressing astonishment at. it
is almost impossible to give any correct idea
OF the pleasing effect produced in these lovely
combinations of designs and dyes. The
styles are shadowy in expression and so
dreamy in tone that one might wonder if
the tout ensemble was not wrought by some
spirit hand.''
curious incident recently occurred on a
Western train. As the cars were moving
away from the Terre Haute depot, a pretty |
young woman cane from the ladies' car, and,
rushing into the smoking car, frantically ap.
pealed to everybody to stop the train. Catch |
ing sight of the conductor, she exclaimed, |
pteously, "Mr Conductor, do please stop the |
train! I've left my babyv' The train was
stopped, and baby recovered, amidst the
hearty cheers of the people ON the platform |
and the passengers; and while the young
mother laughed and cried and Rugged her |
little one, she tried to explain how the baby
was such new one that she hadn't got used |
to it.

of Scarborough for thirteen days ; has
travelled twenty-five hundred miles ;

Camp Supply on Sunday with supplies
is stopped aud in state of siege.
There are no troops here TO send 10

The eleventh of September is long
TO be remembered by those interested
in Sabbath schools, as one of unusual
interest. The place selected was be-

house to the grove. First school i'll

sung were choice hymns, glees &c.
Mrs. l.. Southwick rendered music for
the occasion, which every one duly
appreciated, and prefer their united

and they were received with pleasure
by every one. Mrs. King read an essay
that was admirably adopted for the

a very large and handsome display of
agricultural products and minerals,
from the line of the Atchison, Topeka

object Of the display is to show to the
people of the east what can be pro-

which they have for sale some 3,000,-
900 acres, on eleven years time, at
seven per cent. interest. The govern
ment owns an equal amount, subject
to homestead and presumption by any
citizen.
The artistic taste and skill developed
in the arrangement of this-what may
be appropriately termed-''statef fair of
Kansas" is of a high order. They con-
