HON ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS
has Just returned to his residence at
Crawfordsville, Ca, and has not
been in better health for the past six
years. Last fall, when he started for
Washington, he could not rise from
a chair without assistance. In con-
yavsatiou he said that the Democratic
narty must move with much caution
If it is to carry the next Presidential
election. Nothing can be gained by
abusing Gen. Grant, and all attacks
shou,d be made at the vulnerable
points of the party in power. 1t
was a mistake, he said, to suppose
that that party was dead. 1t will
show enough vitality in the forth
coming campaign. He was cheerful
over the political situation, and said
e. that the people of all sections would
soon regard each other with the old
time love and affection. .Y
A MAN habltually finding fault,
habitualiy on the alert to detect folly
or vice, without ever bestowing a
Thought on. whatsoever things are
true and lovely and of good report,
is, as nobody would choose to deny,
morally halt and MANNED. One-half
of his faculties, and that the most
powerful half, is paralyized and use
less. He is like land which pro-
ducps nothing but thistles and
brambleS.
MINNESOTA appears to be more
foreign than an American State in
the character of her population.
Her commissioner of Statistics re-
ports the number of her voters at
223, 900. OF these $4,000 are foreign
born, $4,000 being Scandinavians,
$4,000 German, and $4,000 Britons.
AN exchange states that odes of
the "gentle spring" will be received
at this office for the next ten days
but 10, published. Another says
that this is the season of the year
when editors shout up the pipe,
Hold over the article on spring."
"WHY, Ichabod, thought you
got married more'n a year ago."
"Well, Aunt Jerush, was talked of,
but I found out that the girl and all
her folks were opposed to it, and so
1 just gave 'em all the mitten, and let
the thing drop.
AN iron, half an inch thick and
one and one half inches long, with
nut of the same metal attached, was
found, the other day imbedded i'll
piece of solid rock at Wyandotte,
Kansas, and the question is how it
ever got there.
WHEN a foreigner finds that plague
is a word of one syllable, and ague,
part of the plague, is word of two,
he wishes that the plague might take
one half of the English language and
ague the other.
AT Montgomery, Ala, recently
man and his wife had quarrel,
separated in anger, she threatened to
drown herself, which she did, and
the man went off and got drunk and
while drunk froze to death.
A LADY at Memphis says she
doesn't want any jewer ry, hasn't
looking-glass in the house and
wouldn't take a silk dress as gift.
She is undoubtedly one OF the
greatest living curioslties of the age.
SPEAKING of the big frolic at
Philadelphia next year, for a good,
square, honest scentennial we recon-
mend the polecat. 1t makes the big
gest return for the money.
The "apothecary" of other days
is now pharmacist" Jones says
many of his apprentices ought to be
farm assistants.
HAVE you seen Bill ?" If you
haven't, and owe anybody, you will
be liable to at any moment.
CAUSE and etfect-Embroidered
shoes are coming in, and long skirts
are going out.

ily on the schoolboys-syntax.
