A LOVE STORY.

She is young lady of a pensive turn.
Her hair is light, her eyes are blue, ana
her nose is red. She gets up in the
morning in melancholy mood, and re-
tires to bed in a water-melancholicky
state. She loves man whom her ia
ther abhors She dotes upon the
ground on which he walks with his
fourteen-inch cowhides while her IA
Their swears he'll lay twenty inches of
cowhide over his shoulder if he ever
catches her talking to him. Last week
she was out for a promenade, and to
commune with her own sad thoughts.
She met Alphonso-she called him AL
phonso, though the boys in the shop
where he earned his eight dollars a
week called him "Feetsy Joe." He Of
fered his arm. She took it. He sighed
and said, 'tAh, this is indeed a moment
of ecstatic joy" els it % asked voice
of thunder at his side, while hand
grasped his collar, ''You'n find it the
saddest moment of your Life. you blasted
tumble headed idiot. You talk poetry
to my daughter and meet her clandes-
timely, will you?" and then the old man
elevated one boot and Alphonso plain
lively groaned out "Ugh !" Then the
old man lifted the other and Alphonso
shrieked Good Heavens % Then the
old man shook him for a few seconds
and then gave him a shove which sent
him bang up against a tree, and AL
phonso beloved, Murder police p
The old man took his daughters arm
and marched her off home, and when he
got the young lady there he said in a
gentle tone of voice, ''Look here, I've
told you if caught that young man in
yonr company I'd mash him. I have
mashed him. Now if I ever catch you
in the company of that young man I'll
publicly spank you, hang me if don't"
The lovers haven't met since that even
ing, and it isn't likely that there'n be
an elopement. Alphonso doesn't want
a man in his family SO emphatic in his
tokens of regard as the old gentleman.
And the young lady would certainly die
of shame if the old man kept his word.
And he's just the sort of man to do It.

WHY He STOPPED.

A man was testifying before Judge
Moore, of Chicago, the other day, in a
diverse case. Plaintiff was a woman,
and sister of the witness. extreme

neglected to mark the package as directed
and the express company as usual made IL
in their way to send it by Essex Junction

carried to such an extent that it is high

Experience and Rotation.

There are two principles which ought
always to be kept in mind in the election
of neutrality-suspicious. and rotation in
office. However person may look at it
Mt first blush. consideration must convince
him that ono element is rs important ms the
other. While there must be experience in
every legislative body, there must, also, be
constant changes in individual mOmbers, an
infusion, as it were, of fresh blood right
from the people.
Experience is necessary mainly that the
forms of legislation may bo properly conf
piled with and business transacted with dis
patch. 1t may or may not be true that with
each succeeding term of service, legislator
becomes more and more useful but 1t is of
no consequence, because its practical appli-
cation would create an Rristocracy and n
life tenure of office. As a general PROPOSE
ton, however, we do not believe It to DO
true. we have known members of Con-
gress in reference TO whom il was strictly
true; because all they know they learned in
Congress. So far rs their minds were con-
cerned, Congress was school 10 them they
were continually learning something new
generally something that the mass Of peo-
pie, school children included, had known
long before. Such men, Of course, would
become more and more useful with the
length of service, but they ought not to be
in Congress or in any other legislative body.
Such men as ought to be sent TO Congress OF

REMARKS.
Cattle. For Northern cattle rather dry
picking. Farmers argue in this way: "Our
steers and other stock are now doing well in
the pastures, improving every day, where we
will let them remain II few weeks while we
attend to haying." Cattle to-day are selling
slow, rs dealers intend to obtain full prices.

Western cattle were all nice, smooth stock,
that sold from to &c live weight.
Sheep and lambs. Very few nice flocks
noticed in market, and butchers are inclined
to purchase such stock only ut low rates.

ExTORTIoN.

We notice that the supreme court has
Just rendered decision to the effect that the
usual agreement signed by senders of mes
sages by telegraph that the company shall
not be liable for blunders is void, and has
awarded 5000 damages to Bangor firm for
loss sustained through blunder in message.
We are surprised at this 50, no doubt, are
the telegraph folks. 1t is generally sup
posed that powerful corporations like tel
egraph, railroad, and express companies eau
to a certain extent control the execution Of
the laws if not, as virtually claimed by
some Western roads, superior to the law
making power which gave them their char
ter and made it possible for them to exist.
We have a word to say in regard to ex-
press companies. The terms monopoly, u
"extortion," and "rings" have been harped
upon until they are nearly worn out, but
here is place where they can all be applied
without exaggeration, and even without fully
expressing the facts. Every business man
is aware Of the exorbitant rates charged by
the express companies in many instances
and of the various ways in which they COM
binc to extort the last cent possible from
their patrons. A case in point We re-
Gently sent to New York for a quantity Of

ness of the express companies to do a good
deal of business expressly ordered it sent
