Il Want to Find my Papa.

Yesterday lady was walking along the
street. when she met little girl between
two and three years old, evidently lost,
and crying bitterly. Taking her by the
hand, the lady asked her where she was
going. 81 am going down town to- find
my papa" was the reply, between sobs,
Of the child. 'sWhat is your papa's
name ?" asked the lady. "His name is
papa" replied the innocent little thing.
"But what is his other name?" queri, d
the lady "what does your mamma cali
him 2" "She calls him papa" persists d
the baby. The lady then took the lit Q
one by the hand and led her along, saying:
"You had better como with me; |
guess you came this way" eyes, but l
don't want to 60 back l want to find my
papa" replied the little girl, crying afresh
as if her heart would break. "What do
you want of your papa?" asked the lady.
II want to kiss him." Just then sister
of the child came along looking for her and
led her away. From subsequent inquiries
it appeared that the little ones papa,
whom she was SO earnestly in search Of,
had recently died. In her lonesomeness
and love for him she, tired of waiting for
him to come home, and had gone to find
him and greet him with the accustomed
kiss. Poughkeeps,e Eagle.

The Texas Election Case-PrOclnmntl0
of Governor Davis.
AUSTIN, January Ex-Governor Davis
has issued the following proclamation
"Whereas, the supreme court of the state
has, in recent decision, declared the
elections held on the I'd of December,
1873, in substance, to be invalid by
reason of the unconstitutionality Of the
law under which said election was
held; and whereas great public injury and
further dangerous complications Of public
affairs are likely to resultfro any attempt
on the part of those claiming to have been
chosen members of the legislature and
other officers at said election to assume
the positions they claim, therefore for
these and other reasons which it is
not deemed necessary to incorporate
herein, it is deemed advisable and it is so
ordered, that those who have been chosen
Legislators and for other offices should not
attempt to assume the positions unless by
further action of adequate authority such
election may hereafter be validated All
good citizens are advised to abide by the
decision of competent tribunal and aid in
maintaining public order and moderate
counsels.

population. In the village of New York,
for instance, The Clipper of that ilk, the

expressed the opinion that Janauschek
was no great shakes as tragedian. We

ABOUT BUDDING may be
budded whenever the sap runs so freely
that the bark readily separates from the
wood. If the scions are out early in the
spring before the buds start, and kept in
cool place, they may be set as soon as the sap
runs in the stock. Budding late in the
season has advantages over midsummer,
the buds being less liable to start, and af-
terward become injured by the winter.
We ct the North usually prefer Septem.
Der. 1t is surprising how quickly the
temperature of the dir affects the young
seedlings. One cool night will so tougher
up the bark that it will require the haft Of
the budding knife to raise it. The remedy
for this, when the seedlings are grown in
rows, is to Immediately stir the soil, which
once more sets the sap flowing.

THE Early Ducklings that realize such
high prices in the London market are said
to be principally the Aylesbury variety,
distinguished by their great size, white
plumage and fesh-colored bill. Their high
quality is said to be produced by feeding
the old birds largely with sound oats,
placed in vessel Of water. If not allowed
much room to swim, old ducks will lay
freely in winter; then the eggs should be
Matched under hens, and the ducklings lib
orally fed with slaked oatmeal and fine
middlings, and afterwards with oats in
water. Under this treatment they may be
made ready for the table in less than two
months.

Dissatisfaction the fewness Of the
balls now given it would almost seem that
society is outgrowing this particular form
of amusement. Perhaps in this matter
society shows its sense. No form of social
entertainment is more deceptive in its
promises, more illusory in its pleasures,
more totally unsatisfactory IN its results
than grand ball, either at some stately
private residence or in the shape of a
nightly ''hop" at the Main Franklin
street restaurant. To the mere looker-on
as seen from an elevation, the floor of a
ballroom, undoubtedly presents grace
full spectacle, full of the charm of shifting
color and motion. But to the writhing
victims who make up the spectacle,
and who suffer themselves to be
bumped and crushed and suffocated and all
but torn asunder under the vain impress
sion that they are dancing, the pleasure is
certainly of more subdued order. As
much may be gathered from the counte-
nances of the dancers, who wear throughout
an air of settled gloom and anxiety beft-
ting their perilous situation, and when
the ladies next morning reckon up the
narrowing tale of torn dresses, lost jewels,
and ruined tempers, it may be doubted
whether balls are to be placed among the
pleasures or the penances Of life.
