Printing a Bible.

Mr.. B., a wellknown metropolitan prin-
ter, mentions that ON one occasion an old
woman from the country came into the
printing office with an old Bible in her
hand.
81 want, she said, ssthat you should
print it over again. It's gettin' a little
blurred sort of and my eyes is not what
they was. How much would you ask to
do it ?''
FIFTY cents.
ssCan you have it done IN half an hour. !?
Wish you would to be gettin' home.

PARsoN BRowNLows BROTHER.
He Runs for an Office in Tennessee &
Queer Address to the Voters.

Senator Brownlow has brother, who
seems, in his way, to be about as eccentric
as he. At the late election in Tennessee he
was a candidate for County Register, and
issued an address to his fellow-citizens con-
tanning the following minute statements
concerning himself and his opponents:
l am q Tennesseean by birth, and all that
this word implies. I am SO years old, and
have been living in the State and in the
country thirty-five years, laboring in your
midst as an humble mechanic, until | am
broke down. Some seven years ago l lost
my wife; she left me with five orphan chill
dren to take care of. l married the second
wife, and she is weakly. My friend, Mr.
Jarvis, is man of property. He owns two
farms on the Cherokee, and has had this
little Office twelve months, and during that
time he has been keeping school at Bells
school-house, and hired Mr. Charles Dosser
to attend to his business in this office. He
has five more months to teach at Bells in
order to make out his school, and now has
one Ninete Zine, of index notoriety, as his
deputy, and will continue said Zine, if
elected. Now, fellow-citizens, is it fair for
this man Jarvis to grab it all? Sun, stand
thou on Mount Gideon, high in the heavens;
and thou, moon, in the valley of Agalon,
and witness, if you please, the entire ami
hilation and everlasting destruction of all
who may dare oppose those modern Joshuas
on their onward march to this little Office.
Be ashamed, and get out of the old mans
way, and give it to me for one term, and
then you may fight overit hereafter. Now,
Calvin Jones, take a seat and sit down.
cross your legs and don't be uneasy. You
came out for this office two months after I
did. Why are you so anxious for ME to
quit and let you run? SIT still you know
that | can beat you two to one in an even
race. Now, Mr.. Jones, this Office would be
an injury to you; you are worth some So, 900
or 1000, first t-rate-farm in the Greasy
Cove, and good farm on the Cherokee.
You had better be breaking up your ground
for wheat. Now, fellow-cltizens, my habits
am a sober man I am d moral man; as
for honesty, am as honest as the times will
admit Of If am your choice, Twill attend
to business closely.

The Most Northerly Town in the World.

A correspondent Of the Alta California
in letter from Norway, thus refers to the
most Northerly town in the world:
Next we visited Hammerfest, the most
Northerly town in the world. It has a
population of 2,O57. There are many Lap
landers and Finlanders in this town. The
principal business is in cod liver oil and
fish, and the odor from the oil snalsosit very
dssae.esu1,Ie pAinae4-a e...a ssoaUs auUuI1,t
here, while there are but six horses in the
town. | don't know whether it is because
of the fish diet Or of the long winter
nights, but any disconsolate childless couple
had better come and spend season here.
The sun sets here on November 18th, and
does not rise again until January 28th.
Children go to school with lanterns for
about six weeks. In the summer the sun
does not set from the 1st OF June till the
22d of July There is no chance for hotel
keepers to make any money on candles, as
they do in Germany and France. I had
my photograph taken by the midnight sun.
You get demoralized here. Mrs. K. has
already. She sits up to one and two O. clock
knitting socks, waiting for night to come.
On the 9th of June the Laplanders brought
many children into town to have them bap-
tized or confirmed. Renders you can see
fifty at time on the side hills, and goats
by the hundred. On June 23d Called here
st. Hans day. or Midsummer Day, they
kindled bonfires on the sides of the mount
aims around the town, and had a jolly time.
The weather is horrible. The thermometer
stands from four to five Reaumur. There
is one hotel here, and it's management
might be easily improved, although the
landlady is kind and obliging. We have
fish and reindeer for breakfast, reindeer and
fish for dinner, and for supper some more
fish and reindeer. This jumping-of place
is in latitude 70 40 Ills. This is cut on q
granite pillar surmounted by a bronze
globe, with projecting axis, indicating the
plane of the celestial pole; and on two sides
of the pillar are inscriptions, in Latin and
Norwegian, that this is an important sta
tion, though not terminal; that it is ON the
north cape Of the great European arc Of me-
ridian, the southern termination being on
the meridian. 1t was undertaken by the
sovereigns of Norway, Sweden and Russia
in 1816-17. On the same spot, or nearly so,
General Sabina made an important series, of
pendulum experiments in 1928. Fughen-
aes was one of the chain OF stations extend
ing nearly from the Equator to the Pole, at
which pendulum observations were made
forobtaining the variations of gravity on
the earth's surface.

SONG OF THE DECANTER.

A LITERARY AND TYPOGRAPHICAL CURIOSITY.
There was an old decan-
ter and its mouth was
grasping wide. the
rosy wine had
ebbed away
and left
its crys-
tai side;
and the wind
went humming;
hunlming;
up and
down the
sides it flew;
and through the
Ieed-like
hollow neck
the wild notes on it
blew. placed 1t on the
window. where the blast was
blowing free: and fancied that
its pale mouth sang the quecrcst
strains to me. "They tell me, puny
conquerers the Plague has slain his
ten, and War his hundred thousands of
the very best of men; but Ia-'twas thus
the bottle spoke" but / have conquered
more than all the famous conquerers, so feared
and famed of yore. Then come ye youths
and maidens, come drink from out my cup
the beverage that dulls the brain and
burns the spirit up; and puts to
shame the conqucrers that slay
their scores below: for this has
deIuged millions with the laya-
tide of woe. Though in the
path of battle darkest
waves of blood may
roll, yet while l kill
ed the body, 1 have
numbed the very
soul. The chol
era, the
sword,
such ruin never
wrought, as l. in
mirth or malice, on the
innocent have brought And
still breathe upon them, and they
shrink before my breath and year by year
my thousands tread the dismal load TO death ,

When that sneaking pup of Keziah's,

most wonderful power Of endurance. News

as much as dozen white men would eat;
they call on their neighbors and eat again !;
and contiaue dancing and eating until
nature, exhausted, forces sleep. After
sleeping a few hours they eat again, and are
then ready for business. They mount the
fleetest pony in camp and are off, riding
day and night, without food, water, or rest,
for five days sometimes. Arriving at their
destination, they state the news, and an
other round of feasting and dancing COM
mences, to be followed, perhaps, by "a tramp
of 200 miles more in another direction, with
