Babies on their mothers breast
To bouncing boys at play;

To stalwart men with cares oppressed
And old men silver gray.
And among the hOnOred and lasting impress
sons of time, and the crash Of revolutions in

our vocation with the highest style of art and

Cut and comb with taste the hair;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request you to stop,
And not 20 past nor from around our shop.

A Jew by the name Of Kline COM
planned that he had lost some goods
while staying all night at Oneymaker's,
q farmer near town, and it was agreed
by friend and foe of both parties that 3
search should be made.
Accordingly, a warrant was sworn out
before Justice Kagsy and Constables Rus
sell and Farley, and Marshal Babb, were
cheerfully welcomed by the Oneymaker
family and aided in their search, but no
goods were found, and thus the report
proven to be no good, and uncle Ozias
says he will keep no more pedlers, and
set up the cider.

Hon. w. f. Finck, of Perry, Mr..
Jewett's successor, has introduced bill
in Congress to abolish the law which
takes effect Jan. 1st, requiring the post
age on newspapers to be paid in advance
by the publishers. The law which Mr.
Finck's Bill is intended to repeal is an
outrage upon the press, and tax upon
newspaper enterprise. Express and
Freight lines do not exact payment in
advance for transporting merchandise,
but this paternal government of ours,
with less liberality than private corpora
tions will not trust to the honesty of its
citizens who read papers, nor its agents
who distribute them through the post
offices, one to pay, the other to honestly
collect postage, but exacts it in advance,
thus taxing instead of encouraging en-
terprise among the newspaper publishers
of the country. Mr.. Finck's PROPOSE
tion will be heartily approved by the
press, and we hope be made law

THE WARD GUN A FAILURE.---Mr.
Norman Wizard has a theory concerning
rihed heavy ordnance. Three guns have
been made and rifed according to his
plans and fred at thick armor plating at
short range. One smashed the plates all
to bits, which was satisfactory, but also
smashed the gun, which was not SO sat
isfactory. Another kept smashing arm
or plates until the thirteenth round,
when it was itself converted into old
iron. The third fired twice with fifty
pounds of powder in each charge, and
with one hundred pounds burst. The
experiments have demonstrated, at a cost
of 100000 to the Government, that
armor plating at a short range cannot
stand the Wizard gun, and that the
Wizard gun cannot stand its own dis
charges.

When this enormous tree (thc bab)
begins to decay where the trunk divides
into the larger branches the hollow
space fills with water, which, being
shaded, keeps long time, and forms a
vegetable cistern for the use of travellers,
The oval fruits which are the size of
large cucumbers, and brownish-yellow,
when ripe, hang from long, twisted,
spongy stalks, and contain a white fari-
naceous substance, of an agreeable taste,
enveloping the dark-brown seeds. They
are fnvorite food for monkeys.
