MIR. Jones' NlisapprChcnSiOn.

1t was only two days ago, remarks

injudiciously full, Being painfully
aware Of his incbricty, he cndeavored
to conceal it from the public by but

A TEXAS BED BUG.-A Sherman
man, who was out in the country
buying grain, stopped at night at a
dilapidatcd farm house. After a
tiorco contest with tho bugs and
mosquitoes, he had fallen asleep. He
slept about an hour when he was
1udely awakened. The old farme,
was standing over him with q cooked
revolver, ono of the farmers stalwart
sons had him by tho heel and was in
the act of jerking him out of bed,
while the hired man was tossing the
pillows around with q thrce-tined
pitchfork.
"NNhat have I dono ?" he hoarsely
asked.
"Kecp cool, stranger" replied tho
farmer, "somo of the boys thought

SQUIRREL SAnoRs.-The Watkins
On. W Democrat relates this story:
"Robert Durling, Esq, who lives on
the east shore Of Seneca Lake, nearly
opposite Coal Point, in the town Of
Hector, informs us that in the year
l842 he resided at HectorTFells, also
on the east side of the lake, and was
building q boat on tho west shore.
He therefore had occasion to cross
tho lake several times every day in
his skiff; and some days he met
from fifteen to twenty squirrels
crossing over from the Western to
the eastern shore on bits of bark
and chips. The wind being from the
west when these voyages were made,
the 'navigators' always had their
broad tails up for sails, which ena
bled them to reach their destinatina-
ton before night. Their favorite
season for crossing over seems to
have been in the Fall, as it was at
that time of tho year when Mr.. Burl-
ing met with them in the largest
numbers"

Between September, 1873, and
September, 1876, in less than two
years, over ono thousand millions of
railroad bonds in the United States
have been declared "failed," which
means that that the interest duo to
their owners has not been paid
How much Of this great sum is held
here is not known-probably not
less than half. This, again, repre-
sents q great loss of income, much of
which would have been expended !;
and here again is loss of market to
producers Of all kinds. ts ...
Consumption being thus checked
by general loss, poverty and prostra-
tration, consequent upon wasteful
railroad construction, it is natural
that we should have aperiod of stag
nation aud hard times. We see one
of the fruits of the evil we have de-
scribed in the fact that the banks
are filed with money lying idle and
unused, and loaned by the owner
ut the lowest rates of interest knows
in this market for many years But
undoubtedly the crisis is prolongnd
and it's evils are intensified by tho
fact that we are cursed with an irret
deemable currency currency,
therefore, of uncertain and varying
value. This checks enterprise and
makes capital-still sore from tho
4 blow Of 1873--cautious and despond-
I ing. IF we had sound currency, in.
dustry would already begin to re-
vive; for there are many avenues
open for the prudent investment of
money if only the owner of it could
be certain whether his dollar which
he now puts in would be worth fifty
cents or dollar and q quarter two
years from now.---N y. HcraM.
