4 recent number of ladies' magazine,
in it's Housekeepers' Department" in
forms it's readers that "Farmers' wives
make the best pickles" but it fails to give
the recipe for picking them.
It is said that one of Barnums monkeys
died the other day from chew Of tobacco
given it by fellow who was fooling with
it. Now wont Mr.. Darwin stop insulting
people by trying to prove that men could
ever have descended from such creatures
as that.
We call attention to our compilation from
the report Of the Commissioner of Statistics
in this issue. We have been to vast
amount of labor in making this abstract,
believing it to be not only interesting but
profitable to our readers. It contains some
very valuable information. Look it over
The West Virginia Legislature recently
passed law entitled "An Act to prevent
the owners of hogs from running at large )"
This is real genuine hog law. The grunt-
ers have evidently got into the legislature,
and the owners have to take their turn in
the sites. 1t is to be hoped that this ar
rangement will be highly beneficial to all
concerned.
One of the clerks Of the Supreme Court
of New Hampshire is lady. We have not
yet learned what relation she is to the late
Tom Cowan of Le&1clF Co., Minn., but
having read the discussion in our Senate
this winter on the subject of lady clerk,
we know that something Of that sort would
be necessary, or at least some of the Court
must have known Mr.. Cowan.
The eastern papers have had nothing to
say about the magnificent weather we have
enjoyed up here this winter, but if we
should chance to have regular old fashion
ed ''setter'' before spring they would
soon have it magnifed to about fifteen times
its real proportions, and then hold it up to
the world as a specimen of the average
weather up there in Minnesota.
Mrs. Victoria C. Woodruff Esq, is about
to visit Minnesota, and as she is not one Of
the flowers that was born to blush un-
seen,'' she will at once proceed to distrib-
ute her sweetness on the highly aristocrat-
ic air of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Our
advice to the good people up there is to
Take her in charity,
Handle with care;
D. i. Better be little warily
While she is there.
The Prairie Schooner says that Lyon
county has the best agricultural land in the
State, and also says that taxes are very
light up there. If the Schooner shall suc-
ceed IN making people believe these two
things, Lyon cou nty will soon leave Goshen
and Caanah, and the q Promised Land. all
in the shade. It is ! long time since desir
able property and light taxes could be
found together, so that people h9e come
to believe that where taxes light th.
4 property is worthless. However We ar.
4 al open to conviction.
