The Travelling Snowman.


The father of the lost boy, Charley
Ross, tells the story to a reporter of
the Philadelphia Times. While in
Canada, recently, he saw circular
of a circus manager announcing wax
figures of the Ross family, together
with an offer from The manager him
self of reward of $1,000 for the dis
coyery of the boy. Mr.. Ross went to
the circus and saw figures Of himself
and wife, and Charley, noneof which
bore the least resemblance to the
originals. Without making himself
known he talked with the exhibitor,
who told him he was a frequent visi-
tor to the Ross household, and that
all of the figures we're strikihgly ac-
curate likenesses. When Mr.. Ross
made himself known thcman seemed
dumbfoundea for a mcment, but I'M
mediately expressed his deep SYM
pathy, declaring his willingness to
pay the $1,000 reward, and offered,
in case the boy were found, to give
the father $1,000 a week for thirty
weeks, for a privilege of exhibiting
him!

a Persian Story.
Companion.


Thrc centuries ago, says Abou Ben
Adhem in his advice, there was a
kingdom to the North of what is now
Persia-the inhabitants of which
were with the present Persians-in
which these things (which you COM
plain very seldom occurred. In that
blessed land there was no crime to
speak of-no accidents, no mistakes,
no nothing. Life there was like a
calmly floating river; the people liv-
ed happily and died rcgretfully, dis
liking very much to leave-which
is quite different here. We had in
Koamud, which was the name of the
kingdom, no penitentiaries, no re-
form schools, no civiltservice exam
inations, no boards Of any kind
nothing Of the sort. If the Govern
ment wanted a Postmaster, we will
say, it did not go botherins. about
qualifications or anything of that
sort. 1t simply posted up on the
door of that vacant postofice print
ed statement of what would be re-
quired of the postmaster. Then the
first man who said he wanted the
place was appointed.
aWcre not bonds required Of him."
"No. He took the place and went
on with his duties"
"But suppose he proved defaul-
.ere7
aHe was Immediately caughs and
hanged"
"Hung for dcfalcation?"
Certainly, and for mistake as
well. If there WIS an error in his
accounts, by so much as a pound of
wrapping twine, he was hung out of
hand"
'But suppose his Irregularities
were the result of bad business quail
ities?"
"Then he was hung for being a
bad business man. What we want
ed was honesty and capacity; and as
we did with postmasters, wedidwith
everybody else. Suppose railroad
train was off the track-a Coroner's
jury was convened over the bodies Of
the killed. Suppose they discovered
the fact that rail was out Of order,
or that the read was not patrool!ed,
We hung one president, director and
superintendent. If the accident was
caused By any neglect on the part of
the conductor, he vas hung, and so
on. Once We hung all the officers of
the Teheran and Ispaham road, and
from that time there was no accident
on that line. Their successors were
tolerabiy careful, and the company
hung up miniature gailows in the
cab of every locomotive to remind
the engineer of his certain fate in
the event of trouble.
"Then we carried the same rule
into everything: The people depos-
tied with the First National Bank Of
Pically. Very good. The bank sus-
pended one morning. Exactly. The
authorities took the president, cash
ier, and board of directors all out and
hung them, because they had been
guilty of suspension"

'Never a difference" saidth Judge

president.

I. AuHWul q 10
In answer to your letter of inquiry, re-
ceived few days ago, will say that
am pleased with your machine in evfrJ
respect. am now running the third
Buckeye machine. The last, and the one
| am now running, bought about two
years ago; it is of the largest size-com-
bined Reaper and Mower, or Dropper. l
| cut with it, about two hundred acres Of
grass and grain every year. In reference
to the Mower, my foreman said, after
driving around the field the first time,
that he would not give it for whole field
of any other machine he had ever seen or
used, and do not think he has ever man
ifested any displeasure with the work
since then, The Dropper did its work in
the most satisfactory manner, both to my
self and the binders. When | put nay
team to the Buckeye l expect to do q
good days work. For strength and du-
rability. | considered it unequaled. Prior
to the time purchased the last machine, |
thought there were others much superior
to 1t. and | bought and tried others, but |
was always disappointed. Finally came
back again, with sense of relief, to the
reliable Buckeye, and having learned by
sad as well as expensive experience, both
in time and money, it's many superior
qualities. | give this statement in the
hope that others may be saved from a like
deliterious experience.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN OARNES.

The Buckeye Table Rake bought of you
last season; is in all respects the best ma
chine l ever used, it being the fourth ma
chine l ever had. The mower works ex-
cellent. The table erceLs any dropper Ihaue
ever used on seen; with the rolling motion
in lodged grain it can not be beaten.
Droppers drag from one sheaf to the 9th
er. The Table Rake makes clean uork. The
- and - Reel RAJ kes tangle standing
grain. The Table Rake lays the entire
gavel straight as it falls on the platform,
delivering it on the stubbles, (even more
so than the Dropper). Binders say that
the Table Rake delivers the grain, both
standing and lodged, better than any
other machine in use. cut fifty acres of
grass in four and half days without wor
rying the team, and sixty-fve acres of
wheat in five and half days, ten acres
of phich acre cut in five hours and
thirty-t,Oo minutes, during the most perfect
work. l cut tall rye with it without any
trouble. In standing grain horse hay
rake will not earn the axle grease it uses
raking stubbles after a Table Rake. Farm

IF the Memphis Avaianehe speaks
truly, radical Governor Ames of that
State is retrenching, at least in one direc.
ton, as he has declined to extend the
aid of the State for the arrest of murder
ers. This fact comes out apro40s Of the
recovery of the bodies of two children,
aged seven and five, whom Rev. John
Woodbridge, colored murdered and threw
into the river. As natural result hid
eous crimes are now rather more common
than they have hitherto been in that ne
gro and Radical ridden State. 1t is to
be expected that in 1878 the party whose
banners are inscribed "Ames and Free
Murder" Radicalism and Economy,
will sweep the State.

over the county see to it that winning
