She was an elderly lady. and as she
scattered herself on one OF the stools
in Wallach's store and asked to be
shown some ''caliker," she remarked
that when she was gal" she thought
she was powerful lucky if she got six

'singful' waste of stuff to put in
more; but she had jnst "heern' that
Mrs. X. was goin' to hev forty two
yards in her new calikcr and she hoped
that there might be a cloud burst
in seventeen minutes if that air wo-
man should stare round at her in
church and make remarks about her
clothes. You kin jist cut me off
forty-three yards. and I'll have it

A young man in Ohio, in a playful
freak, the other day, cut off the end
of a young lady's nose with pair of
scissors. The performance not prov
ing satisfactory, however, the frag
ment was replaced and will probably
grow on again, but the nose hereafter
will always be second-class affair.
The proper reparation for the expert
menting fellow to make evidently is
to marry the girl.

a letter from Norwich. Conn, to
the Hartford Times contains the fol-
lowing story as told by George w.
Fuller, submarine diver, who is now
in the former city: while perform
ing some work for Uncle Sam in one
of the Southern ports, where it was
customary for those who supplied the
market with early garden truck to
load their boats and row them around
to the wharf, it happened that one da,-
burly negro loaded his boat with
water melons. and had just reached
the dock where the usual number of
loungers stood watching the opera
tions of the diver. The negro, all un-
conscious of his situation, was zeal
ously endeavoring to dispose Of his
cargo, when Fuller suddenly emerged,
helmet FIRST, from the water, thrusting
his google eyes and ugly head before
the astonished occupant of the boat,
and seizing one of the largest of the
melons, sunk immediately. The dar-
key, with yell and bound. reached
the dock, and neither stopped nor
turned until he reached home with
the tidings that de debble had 'fiisca-
ted dc melons an was taken 'um
down. m

of his son. "I'm like Micawber.' re.
piled the youth, waiting for some
thing to turn up" The boy was
placed across the paternal knee. and
received the usual mild admonition.
He believes now that something has
turned up in double sense. entirely
different from what he expected.
A very fashionable Danbury lady
tried to mount the step in front Of
MerrilPs grocery, yesterday, but her
pull back prevented her. Several
times she repeated the attempt, but
without success, while an anxious
populace looked on. What do you
suppose she did then? Retreated?
o, no. She just turned around, and
went up the step backward. as easy as
could be.

English Ivy.


The use of English ivies for the
purpose of decorating living rooms is
more extensive every year and cannot
be too highly commended. Being
very strong, they will live through any
treatment; but study their peculiari-
ties aud manifest willingness to graft
fly them and they will grow without
stint. Many houses are too hot for
them, as indeed they are for their
owners. Neither plants nor people
should hive the temperature over 600
Fahrenheit. Take care not to enfee-
ble your ivies by excessive watering
or undue heat, and you will see they
will not seem to mind whether the
sun shines on them or not, or in what
position or direction you train them.
Indeed, SO much will they do them
selves to render a room charming,
that we would rather have an unliwi-
than anything in nature or art.
Do you wish the ugly plain doors
that shut off your tiny entry to be
arched or curved, like those in the
drawing-rooms OF your richer neigh
as lamps for the burning of kerosene
sides of the door. Put in each plant
of English ivy, longer the better; then
train the plants over the top. against
the sides-indeed. any way your fancy
dictates. You need not buy the beau.
tiful (but costly) pots the flower deal
er will advise; common glazed ones
will answer every purpose, for by
placing in each two or three sprays of
Coliseum ivy, in u months time no
vestige of the pot itself can be discern
ed through their thick screen.
The English ivy growing over the
walls of building, instead of promo
| ting dampness, as most persons would
suppose, is said to be remedy for it,
and it is mentioned as a fact that In a
certain room where damp had prevail
ed for length of time, the affected
parts inside had become dry when ivy
had grown up to cover the opposite
| exterior side. The close, overhang-
| ing, pendant leaves prevent the rain
or moisture from penetrating to the
wall Beauty and utility la this case
go hand in hand.--Journalo of IIorti-
culture

The 'Ainos' is the name given to a
race Of hairy people inhabiting one Of
the Japenese islands. Mr.. B. S.
Lyman. the chief geologist Of the Jap
anese government, has recently pub
lished an account of them. derived
from personal study of their habits
and nature. He found them harm
less, odd. obliging, small of stature,
but not more hairy than many Cau-
casians, though noticeable for their
"mop-heads" of ancombed hair. The
Amos complexion, he says, is that OF
white man well tanned. only still
darker, as if still more thoroughly
tanned. There is no trace of Chi
nese yellow tint, as there is in some
Jalanese. They show great, skill in
carving pipe sticks and other wooden
utensils, and, whenever they shall
become civilized. will no doubt aston
ish. the world. by their sculpture =
They inhabit various parts OF the
island Of Yesso, live in small villages,
and are some degrees above the saw
age condition.

Many years ago a young man inn
prisoned in the Eastern penitentiary
of Pennsylvania for some light offense,
was loaned a considerable sum of
money by the kind hearted Warden
upon the expiration of his term of
Imprisonment. He went into busi-
ness, amassed a handsome fortune,
and years afterward returned to the
penitentiary and insisted upon the
Warden S taking. not only the amount
he had loaned, but liberal addition.

The death of ex Governor Weller.

said Weller. everything but my repu-
tation. Governor, said the friend,
