Why is President Grant like power of
attorney? Because he "knows all men by these
presents!
The most vigilant people are invariably,
those who neglect their own business to attend
To the affairs of their ncig ghbors.
The latest attempt to hurt the feelings
editorial is in this current story: Are you
connected with paper here % asked country

80 no." was the reply; 81 have been to the
insane asylum :.nd been cured q man never
runs newspaper after he is cured"
-"I would not accept q nomination II 1t
we're rendered, unless it should come under
such circumstances rs to make 1t an lmpera-
tive duty" says President Grant in his ANU

"A countryman purchaseda new hat at a
Burlington store, last week, leaving his old
one with the merchant, who kicked it under
the counter. The next day tho countryman
returned, and after search among the rub
bish found the old tile, and turning down the
band pulled out a ifty-dollar bill, quietly re-.
marking, ~ came mighty near forgottin'
where put that money"
An exchange lets off the following on de-
linuuent subscribers "Looking over an old
ledger, we see long array of names OF former
subscribers who are indebted to US. Some OF
them have moved away and are lost to
sight, although to memory dear. Others are
carving the contribution boxes in our most
respectable churches, and others again are an
gels in Heaven; but they owe us just the same"
"A young lady in indianapolis sought to
impart the hue of health to her cheeks the 9TH
er evening when dressing for party, and
found the requisite bloom in the coloring mat
ter of some cinnamon candy. During the
evening her cheeks became very much swollen,
and the poison soon after communicated itself
to her ewes. She is now quite blind, and there
seems to be little hope that she will ever regain
her eyesght.
- It is we'll known that nobody makes more
delicious corn bread than the negro women
of the South. One of them told an inquirng
young lady how she does it, and for the benefit
of our housekeeping readers we give the re-
ceipt. Says Dinah: "Why, darlin, sometimes
eeni'allv takes a little meal, and sometimes
gcn'aliy I takes little hou, an l kline O.
mixed 'em up with some hot water, and | puts
in eggs enuh' an a little salt, an then l 0akes
it list bout enull An you do so, jess SO, honey,
an you'll make it as good as do"
- The Mobile Alabama, Register resents
an imputation cast upon a legitimate Southern
word, saying: "The other day Georgia paper
said that Mr. A. ii. Stephens could not have
made q certain remark because he understood
the English language too we'll to make use OF
such Slang word as "totc." We resent the
inlignity cast upon "toto" We cling to aaea ntotea
Charta. It reminds us Of our descent from 4
lbcrty-loving people, and preserves the memo
y ucs r4e ",,s writ Gy which cn,RPs1 ResI"p5 f5
carrv (toNerc) his case up to the County Court
was known as the writ of toH, pronounced
commonly tote. This privilege which the
humble farmer had of toting his case up from
his own landlord to 4 less prciudiccd court was
dear de- to every Englishman. The people of the
south will not surrender that word; 1t is as as
dear to our yeomen as the common law ITSELF"
