TREATING THE GIRLS.
A Handsome Young Man Talks 10 Deaf
Cashier in Restaurant.
From the Burlington HaWkeye. |

lFrom the Burlington Hawkeye]
People have noticed that one of the hand
soonest young men in Burlington has sudden
ly grown bald, and dissipation is attributed
as the cause. All, no; he went to a church
soclable the other week, and took three
charming girls out to the refreshment table,
let them eat all they wanted, and then found
he had left his pocket-book at home, and
deaf man that be had never seen before at
the cashiers desk. The young man, with
his face at1ame, bent down and said softly:
Il am ashamed to say that have no
change with
"Hey?" shouted the cashier.
II regret to say, j" the young man repeated,
in louder key, ''that 1 have unfortunately
come away without any change to-"
'Change two:" chirped the deaf man;
ooh, yes, can change five if you want it. +"
mo, the young man explained, in a ter
ribly penetrating whisper, for half a dozen
people were crowding up behind him, impa-
tient to pay their bills and get away; Il
don't want any change, because"
man cried gieefuiy :Bleeged to sss you, 'an sir.
bleeged to you. 'Taint often we pet such
generous donations. Pass over your BILL"
"No, no." the young man explained; II
have no funds"
''Oh, yes, plenty of fun, the deaf man re-
piled, growing tired of the conversation, and
noticing the long line of people waiting with
money in their hands; ''but I haven't got
time to talk about it now. Please settle and
move on"
"But," the young man gasped out, 81 have
no money"
''Go Monday?" queried the deaf cashier.
Il don't care when you 60. You must pay,
and let these other people come up"
Il have no money! the mortified young
man shouted, ready to sink into the earth,
while the people all around him, and espe-
cially the three girls he had treated, were
gigghng and chuckling audibly.
''Owe money!" the cashier said. s'Of
course you do; 1915"
II can't pay!" the youth screamed, and by
turning his pocket wrong side out, and yell
ing his poverty to the heavens, he finally
made the deaf man understand. And then
he had to shrek his full name three times,
while his ears fairly rang with the suppressed
laughter that was breaking out all around
him; and he had to scream out where he
worked. and roar when he would pay, and
he couldn't get the deaf man to understand
him until some of the church members came
up to see what the uproar was, and, rec0g-
nizing their young friend, made it all right
with the cashier. And the young man went
out into the night and clubbed himself, and
shred his locks away until he was as bald as
an egg.

Fifteen Thousand Houses to be Sold for
Presidents of the United States.

First stands the lofty Washington,
That nobly great, immortal one;
The elder Adams next we see,
And Jefferson comes number three;
The fourth is Madison, you know,
The fifth one on the list, Monroe;
The sixth an Adams comes again,
And Jackson seventh in the train;
Van Buren eighth upon the line,
And Harrison counts number nine;
The tenth is Tyler in his turn,
And Polk eleventh as we learn;
The twelfth is Taylor that appears,
The thirteenth, Fillmore fills his years;
Then Pierce comes fourteenth into view,
Buchanan is the fifteenth due;
The sixteenth, Lincoln foully slain;
The seventeenth was Johnson's reign:
Then Grant was by the people sent
To be their eighteenth President.

The Butte (Cal.) Mercury tells of band
of sheep being brought down from the noun
tains and turned in wheat field. Over one
hundred had died in one night from eating
wheat and drinking water. The wheat swelled
to such an extent that the stomach was COM
pletely torn asunder.

A Glorious Picture, i'm Artistic setting.
The following poem, Written some years ago. by q
Massachusetts lady, will bear reproduction every yea'
until the end of time.
The year grows splendid! On the mountain steep
Nov fingers long the warm and gorgeous light,
DYING by slow degrees into the deep,
Delicious night
The final triumph of the perfect year,
Rises the woods magnificent array;
Beyond, the purple mountain heights appear
And slope away.
The elm, with musical slow motion, lays
His long, 1.-THE branches in the tender air.
While from his top the Virgins Bower waves
Her scarlet hair.
Where Spring first hid her volets meath the fern,
Where Summers fingers ope'd fold after fold
To odorous, wild red-roses heart, now burn
The leaves OF gold.
Now Nature pours her last and noblest wine!-
Like some Bacchant beside the lingering streams
Recnes tn enchanted Day, rapt Ill divine
ImpassiOned dreams.
The oftest HILL the lovelest towering herb,
The tairest fruit of season and OF cline,
All wear alike, the mood OF the superb
Autumnal time.
But when the painted leaves are falling fast;
Among the wales, beyond the farthest hill
There sits shadow, dim and sad and yast
And fingers still.
And still we hear voice among the hills.
voice that mourns among the haunted woods
And with the mystery OF its sorrow fills
The sOlitudes.
For while gay Autumn glides the fruit and leaf,
And doth her faire st festal garments wear,
Lo! Time forever in his mighty sheaf
Binds up the year
The mighty sheaf which meyer is unbound!
The Reaper whom our souls beseech in vain!
The loved, lost year that never may be found
Or loved again,

Campaign Management.

Our structures on the political manage
ment of the Democratic party in Pennsylva-
MIA has been generally endorsed by the press
of Pennsylvania, but we are asked "What
use is there in opening the question now ?"
We answer that it is important that our
action in the future should be guided by the
lessons of the past. During the campaign
just over we did not wish to raise any ques-
tion that might divide or distract our forces
But we believe that if physician is re-
quired to prescribe for a patient he should
first know his disease, Patent medicines
will not answer. If our diagnosis OF the
case is correct, our leaders have the dry-rot,
aud the sooner the people know it the better
The patient is not dead, but he needs skill
full attendance. The quacks must be dis
charged and the patent medicines aban-
doned.
Let us commence the campaign of 1876
NOW. Organize every County and election
district at once. Send fossils and bummers
to the rear, and let active, earnest men take
the lead. We should abandon the idea Of
itnerant conventions wandering to inaccessi-
BILE points-and have Standing Committee
of live, active workers, located at a central
point, and free from personal or local in
Auences Complimentary nominations
complimentary votes for Chairman or other
purposes must be stopped, because politics is
business, and must be conducted on business
principkes.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1875-11-12
Remedies for Hard Times -

We have always contended that the hard
times was mainly tracealse to a blundering
financial policy, and the extravaganza OF
public officials Public expenditures are
yearly increasing in volume, salaries are
doubled and horde of useless officers re-
tained If the hour demands economy in
the household-in business ailairs--it also
demands it in governmental affairs,
But present distress may be much ai!eVia-
ted in two ways.
First, those who have means should pay
their debts. Even if they are small in
amount it would afford relief to laborers,
mechanics, and tradesman, and enable them
in turn to pay off their Indebtedness. \ few
dollars may appear trivial to banker, or
capitalist, but it is all important to the la
boring classes whose substance comes from
the accumulation and prompt payment OF
comparatively small sums. It'll puts so much
money in circulation, and whilst not dis
tressing a man Of means gives eflectual relief
70 those whose income is dependent upon
the prompt payment Of small amounts.

currency, are recognized mediums of eX-
change, but there are other ways Of paying
indebtedness, equally eiectual and legal,
without the use of illegal tenders The
farmer who owes Us can pay in grain or flour,
because if we purchase it in the market, we
must pay cash. He liquidates his debt, and
we are not compelled to go to the dealer
The butcher can pay in meat, the mechanic
in kind and so there will be- ~ mutual nc
commodation without any money being
paid,
In a word, if those who have money viii
pay it out they put it in circulation and en-
able others to use It. If those who have
commodities to sell will pay their creditors
with such OF them as can be used, il wipes
out debt, and is equivalent to cash 10 the
creditor.
Let our people act on this advice, aud one
half of the present distress will be obv ated.
If economical rulers and wise legislation be
adopted, the other half would be remedied'
