How I was Sold.

You may remember that / lectured
lately for the young gentlemen Of the
Claytonian Society? During the after
noon Of that day 1 was talking with
one Of the young gentlemen referred
to, and he said he had an uncle who,
from some cause or other, seemed to
have grown permanently bereft of all
emotion and with tears in his eyes, this
young man said: "Oh, if could only
see him laugh once more? Oh, If 1
could only see him weep?" l was
touched. I could never withstand dis
tress. said: "Bring him to my lee
ture. I'll start him for you." "Oh, Ii
you could do 1t, Ill our family would
bless you forevermore; for he is very
dear to US. Oh, my benefactor, can
you make him Taught Can you bring
soothing tears to those parched orbs ?"
"I was profoundly moved. said |:
"My son, bring the old party around.
I have got some good jokes in my lec-
ture that will make him laugh If there
is any laugh In him; and If they miss
fire have got some others that will
make him cry or kill him, one or the
other"

The Living Queens Of Spain.

There are so many Queens of Spain
about the world that when one of them
is named is necessary to remember
her present situation and past history.
In an important particular they arc all
alike. No one Of them is on full pay
or likely soon to become so. There is
Maria Christina, the old Reina Goberna-
dora, who of late years has dropped
very much out of sight, but who is oc-
casionally heard of at French sea
bathing place. There is her daughter
Isabella, who, like her mother, was ex-
PEELED from Spain by an ungreatful peo-
pie, and who resides chiefly in Paris.
There is third ex-Queen who lives in
Italy, and who, having tolerable good
position to fall back upon in her own
country, has altogether discontinued
the titles she bore during her brief and
anxious residence in Madrid; and a
fourth Spanish Queen exists, so styled
by herself, but who, unlike the three
already named, has never sat upon the
throne, but speaks very confidently of,
one day, doing so. 1t is this last lady
who has sent reply to the address re-
Gently dispatched to her by the Mar
seilles royalists.

White Lies.

Some slip-shod moralists insist that it
is permissible, and, indeed, commend
able, to tell fibs IN cases where the
utteranee Of the plain truth might give
offence or pain. That this doctrine is
practically carried out in society we all
know. Persons who wish to avoid re-
ceiving unwelcome visitors without re-
sorting to a positive rebuff, direct their
servants to say they are "not at home"
81 am glad to see you," is the greeting
with which the man of polished man
ners meets the bore whose appearance
he regards with horrsr. Invalids past
hope Of recovery are informed by smil-
ing friends that they are looking better
every day. Rash men of business are
congratulated on their brilliant pros
poets by those who know they are on
the verge of ruin. In fact, never to ut
tar tiisaqreeable truths, and to deal lib
erallv ln agreeable falsshoeds, seems to
be accomplishments-negatiye and pos
itiye-most indispensable to individuals
who desire to be ''psrfectiy at home In
polite society" To such courteous hy-
pocrisy we cannot subscribe. 1t may
Sometimes be inexpsdient to tell the
truth, but never necessary or proper to
invent falsshoods for courtssy's sake.
Infinite harm is done by what Mrs. Opie
has designated as "Wnite Lies" In
nine cases out of ten, the plain truth,
kindly spoken, Is beneficial to those
who seek counsel, advice, or any kind
of information or aid. In no case is
falsehosd, however well-intsnded, real
ly Unstable. When it is deemed un-
wise to speak the truth, say nothing:

The Number Of Type in a
ls Newspaper.


The Poughkeespie Eagle, in an arti-
Gle on "How mistakes happen in a
newspaper" figures up the number of
types used in newnpaper the size Of
the Eagle at 600.0 .000, the actual number
Of bits of metal arranged and rearrang-
ed every day in preparing newspaper
the sizes of the Eagle for the press. We
suppose few people think Of the print
ing trade as the most exact and partic-
ular business, but it is. In making
type, variations that might be allowed
in the machinery OF the finest watch
would render the type useless. 1t is
very rarely that type furnished by two
separate foundries can be used together
without q good deal of trouble, though
they try to make it after the same STAN
dard. We read once in a while of a
wonderful piece Of cabinet work or mo-
siac work containing ten, twenty or
fifty thousand pieces, the maker OF
which has spent months or even years
of labsr in producing it, and the people
60 to see it as great curiosity, but the
most elaborate and carefully fitted
piece of work of this kind ever made
does not compare with thar which the
printer does every day. The man who
dses the first is looked upon as an ar
tist-a marvel of skill, and If hundred
of his pieces is put in wrong side up,
or turned the wrong way, 1t is not OBJ
served in the general effsct-but IL the
printer, in fitting ten times as many
pieces together in the same day, puts
one where another should be, or turns
one the wrong way everybody sees it,
and Is amazed at the carelesness Of
those stupid printers"

spots of a lighter shade, is said to i'm
part warmth and brilliancy of color
to the whole surrounding scene. But
the nearer the observer comes, all eager
ness to see more closely SO wonderful a
flower, the less does he like 1t. Not
that the color is less beautiful; but who
cares for beauty in human beings when
its possessor is malicious, disdainful or
untruthful? And who cares for beau.
ty ina flower, when the odor is disa-
greeable?
So, Notwithstanding its proudly bril-
liant color and its great size, the rable-
sia arnoldia will never be admired, for
we are told that its odor is intolerable,
polluting the atmosphere for many
feet around. Another bad trait Of its
flower character is that it is toe lazy to
support itself, but lives upon the labor
of others. In the forests where it is
found, there are many vines, sometimes
climbing up the trunks of the trees and
sometimes trailing along the ground.
Fastensng itself to vine in the latter
position, unprincipled ranesia grows
without further trouble to itself than
to draw for its own use the nutriment
which the industrious vine-roots are ali
the while collecting from the earth.
The vine must be very amiable you
think? All, but the poor vine cannot
help itself. 1t cannot shake off the big
selfish flower and can only work hard
er than. ever to collect supplies sufi-
cient to nourish the odious hanger-on,
and have enough in addition, for its
own branches and leaves.-St. Nicho-
las,

Bloody Freak Of a Steel Pen


Yesterday afternoon Mr.. J. w. Pal
mer, the well-known lawyer of this city
met with most extraordinary accident,
that at one time threatened very serious
consequences. He had been using q
steel pen of rather larger dimensions
and on finishing his work had placed
the pen behind his ear, using that deli
cate organ as pen-rack. At length
the pen being in such close proximity
to the brain, evidently became charged
with subtitle essence of thought, and
gave sudden spring. To prevent II
from falling to the fleor, Mr.. Palmer
brough his knees together with quick,
strong movement, and in 80 doing drove
the pen its whole length, about an inch
and half into the fsshy part Of the
left thigh, piercing an artery. 1t re-
quired all his strength to draw out the
steel, and when he did 50 the blood
spurted clear across the office. The
wound bled most profusely, but at
length by the assistance of friends the
blood was stopped, and DR.. Mclean
was called, who dressed the wound
No real danger to the limb is appre-
hended, but Mr.. Palmer 10 unable to
walk this morning, though 1t is believ-
ed he will be about again In few days
after. Whether our geodlooking friend
had been engaged shortly before the &C
cidsnt In preparing some very wicked
law document which excited the veng-
full ire ofhis conscientious pen, or wheth
er the pen was actuated by savage
thirst for blood, or simply and unhealty
hankering for red Ink, we cannot now
determine. 1t Is said tho office Is being

The Champion Corn Crop of
Nebraska.

The soil and climate of Nebraska are
most favorable to farming. Indian corn
grows luxuriantly, and the smaller ce-
reals also thrive. The productions of
Nebraska do not appear in the U. S.
census reports before 1860; and then
the whole corn production of the Terri
tery-which was much larger than the
State, its western limit being the sum-
NIT Of the Rocky Mountains-was only
!, 49,, ,0s0 bushels. In 1870 the corn crop
of the State of Nebraska-the western
limit of which is the base Of the Rocky
Mountains-was A, ,73e, ,710 bushels; and
the Agricultural returns of the Depart
ment at Washington for 1873, give the
corn crop for that year, which was
bad year tor Indian corn, at 2l,000,0OO
bushels.
These figures exhibit the rapid prog
ress of agriculture in Nebraska, for
what may be said of corn is equally
true of other productions. In the fer
tile. soil and genial climate of the State,
corn yields abundantly, and is q safe
crop. There are broken lands where,
year after year. the produce has aver
aged so bushels to the acre; but this is
outdone by the champion corn crop of
1873.
The affidavits on which the $50 pre-
MUM for 1873 was awarded, have just
been published by the State Board of
Agriculture. The owner was Magnus
N. Nelson, Of Cass County. His cham
pion crop was grown on field Of thir-
ty-five acres-the second crop On the
same ground which was prairie broken
in 1871. The plowing cost $1.25 per
acre; the planting 45 cents; the eulti-
waiting $3.50; the harvesting $1.a5; to-
tai expense per acre $4.75.. The yield
was an average of 81 x bushels per acre.
which was certainly worth not less than
40 cents per bushel on the farm. The
variety Of the corn was the Mahogany;
and the weight 63 pou nds to the bushei'

The young man wept on my neck, ane

hands on my head and locked up to-

He placed him in full view, In the sec

began on him. I tried him on mild

him with bad jokes and riddled him
with good ones; fired old, stale jokes

and bathed my head with cold water,

Riches Takes Wings. "

1t is not only individuals who have
suddenly increased in prosperity and
as suddenly gone down into nothing
ness; there are cities of which the same
can be said. Such one is Pithole City,
Pa. Within one month from the COM
pletion of the first house this city had q
telegraph office and hotel, costing the
owners $4,000. In one month more
there was daily paper established and
in the next, theater: in another month
another theater, and then an academy
of music. In six months there were
seventy-four hotels and boading houses;
in the seventh month the city had reach
ed its highest prosperity. 1t then had
about $4,000 inhabitants, elaborate wa
ter-works, city hall and an expensive
city government. Then occurred the
completion of labor-saving enterprise
the so-called Miller Farm Pipe line, by
which the petroleum was sent off in
dependent of the laboring population.
At once 1000 persons were thrown out
of employment, while 1000 houses be-
came useless; this was the death blow
to Pithole City. A: once the hotels, the
theaters and the telegraph office were
closed, and the daily paper gave up its
ghost, while almost every one packed
his trunk and moved out. Only nine
families remain out of population of
5000 souls, while the railroad from
Pithole and Oleopelis runs only one
train day, consisting of locomotive
and single cal, which usually is empty;
but the company is obliged to keep rum
ming, otherwise the charter for the road
would be lost. They still hope against
hope for better times for that unfor-
tunate city, which in enly seven months
was born, full grown, got sick and died.
Undoubtedly this is case unparalleled
in history, modern or ancient; neither
Egypt nor Greece can give examples
of such rapid changes.
