Mr.. Warner Tries it.

Mr.. Warner, a respectable and law
abiding citizen of Baker street. rode
home in an express wagon the other day,
having hand fire extinguisher and the
driver for company.
.What's that thing?" asked his wife
i'm contemptous tones as she opened the
hall door.
"What's that? Why that's a fire-ex-
tinguisher-best thing you ever saw
meant to have got a one year ago.
Jacob, you are always making a fool
of YOURSELF she continued, as she shut
the door. Every patent-right man gets
around you as acat lays for mouse"
Does, Ell? If you know anything at
all you'd know that every store and office
in Detroit has one o. these. They've
saved lots OF buildings, and may save
ours"
"You throw it at the fire, don't you %
she asked in sarcastic tones.
He carried it upstairs into a closet
without replying, and she followed on
and asked:
Does it shoot fire Out?"
IF you don't know anything I'll lie Urn
you something! 1t is full of chemicals
you strike OH this knob on top and she IS
already to open this faucet and play OF
the fire.
She grinned as she walked around it,
and finally asked:
"Do you get a horse to draw it
around?"
mo, don't get no rse to draw it,
around. You see these straps? Well,
| back up, put my arms through them
and here it is on my back"
Il see it is" she sneered.
Sand can't L run to any part Of the
house with ?" he demanded. "See
- see -?"
And he cantered along the hall, into
the bedroom and out, and was turning
the head of the stairs when his foot
caught in the carpet. He threw up his
arms and she grabbed at him, and both
rolled down stairs. He yelled and she
yelled. Sometimes he was ahead, and
then she took the lead, and neither of
them had passed under the "string y
when the extinguisher, humping and
jamming, began to shoot off its charge
of chemicles.
"You old -" she started to say.
when stream from the hose struck her
between the eyes, and she didn't finish.
what in-O-u-c-h! ' rOared Mr..
Warner, as he got dose i'm the ear.
They brought up in heap at the bot
tom OF the stairs, the stream playing into
the parlor, against the hall door, and up
stairs by turns, and she gasped:
Ill have you sent to Il fool asylum -
"WhO's FOOL he roared, dancing
around with his eyes full of chemicals.
I'm fainting!" she squeaked.
'-And I've broken my back!" he
shouted.
1t was sad house when those two
highly respectable old people got so that
they could use their eyes and discus mat
tiers calmly. And she doubled up her
fist and hOarsely said:.
Take that investigator. or distinguish
er, or whatever you call it, back down
town and tell everybody that you are a
lunatic!"
And he said:
Dummit! | know more than all
your family put together!"-Detrott

According to the Iron Age, wedge or
plate of iron has been found imbedded i'm
the masonry of the great Pyramid, the
indications being that it must have been
wrought In the age of Cheops, placed by
some authorities as far back a. $500 years
ago. Ihis makes the use of iron about
$500 years more ancint than it is sup
posed to be, and affords opportunity for
explaining the cutting of the sharp and
we'll defined hieroglyphics or porphry.
granite, and other hard stones employed
in the construction of Egyptian pyra-
mids. temples, and tombs. How these
could have been cut before the age of
iron has been a puzzling question to
many. Further investigation may show
iron to have been in use 5000 years ago.

Oh. who would roll the Lethean wave
Above the early youth,
When earthly light seemed all undimm ed,
And all unsullied truth?
Nay! nay! amid life's later scenes,
Amid its cares and tears,
There are green spots to which we turn,
Through all our after years.

Running a Newspaper.

BY some unaccOuntable misapprehen-
sion of facts, says the Memphis AUd-
lapche. there is large class Cf people i'm
the world who think that it costs little
or nothing to run a newspaper; and if
they buy copy from the newsboy, when
to far from the office to come and beg
one, they are regular patrons, and enti-
tied to unlimited favors. Men call every
day at newspaper offices to get copy
of the paper for no hing. who would
never dream of begging pocket-hand-
kerchief from a dry-gOods store, or a
piece of candy from confectioner, even
upon the plea of an old acquaintance,
having bought something once before.
One paper is not much, but a hundred a
day amounts to something i'm the course
of time. But this is a small drain COM
pared with the free advertising a news
paper is expected to do. Some men who
have paid two dollars at an early period
of life for an advertisement worth four
or five dollars. appear to think they are
stockholders in the establishment for
eternity. They demand the publication
of all marriage and funeral notices, obitu-
rries and family episodes. for the next
forty years. gratis, Speak of pay and
they grow indignant. Don't I patron
ize your paper?" "Yes; but you re-
ceive the worth of your money for what
you pay" But" says the patron, lit
will not cost you anything TO put this
in;" which is just as ridiculous as to ask
a man to grind your axe on his grind
stone, and graciously tell him it won't
cost him a cent. 1t takes money to run
a newspaper, as we'll as any other bust
ness no paper will succeed financially
that carries dead-head system. Any
mention of the peoples affairs that they
are anxious to see in print is worth pay
ing for, and when printed is generally
worth rs much rs any other investment
OF the same amount.
The newspaper business is very exact

Is comparatively small the prOprietors
risk more money tor smaller profits, and
the editors and reporters and printers
work harder aud cheaper than the same
number of men in any profession requir-
ing the given amount of Intelligence,
training and drulgery. The life has its
charms and pleasant associations, scarcely
known to the outside world; but it has
its earnest work anl anxieties and hours
of exhaustion, which also are not known

A ROSY POSEY WAY.

The Williamson County Monitor has
discovered way to pacify the assassins.
1t would do SO by cultivating pure,
untarnished public opinion. II this is
done all will be well. Then, exclaims the
Monitor, "Our land which is now cursed
for its wickedness, stained with the blood
of our friends and relatives. and almos
drenched with the tears of wives, daugh
tiers and friends, will bloom as the rose
while love and friendship will throw
their curtains around us. and encirclc
and cultivate the grand and sublime prin.
ciples OF Friendship, love and truth.
Let the law take its course, for 'Ven-
gcancc is mine, and | will repay, saith
the Lord" This is very pretty, and
would be excellent in an Odd-Fellows
address; but the Monito, man surely
knows that the greatest need in William
son now Is a few brave men with rcvolvcrs
in their hands, and public sentiment
that will hang men who pack .iurics in

Democratic banditti! The q. ID. is not

OF Williamson Democrats. The Hendcr-
sons are unflinching Radicals and there are
many Of them. The Bulliners fled from
the South because they were Union peo-
pie, and in Williamson acted with the Re-
publican party. Sisney was a strong Re.
publican, and at one time was the Sheriff
OF the county elected by the Republicans.

BEvERlDGE's SACRIFICE

The Jacksonville journal, easily pleased,
thanks Gov. Beverage for doing "some-
thing" In the way of discovering the
"williamson county criminals and bring
ing them to justice" In the opinion of
the journal his offer of reward sis the
more praiseworthy for him. in that it
involves somewhat of personal sacri-
fice." Reason tor this belief the Journal
finds in the fact that "the law allows
him to offer reward of $500 for a muir.
derer, but the Governor has offered $500
the difference to be taken from the Coy
srnor's contingent fund" In othe
words, the Journal believes the Governo
ought to be praised because he offered a
areward in two cases 500 of the PEG
pies money that he might have stolen
The Governor may consider sucl
''praise" complimentary, but we rcgar,
1t as extremely harsh abuse.

INXIIEn N0T TO CONE.

Rockford aud Winncbago county are In
n ferment. The announcement that JEFF.
Davis had accepted the invitation to de-
liver the annual address at the agricul-
tural fair "has stirred ZIP the
people there more than any event
since the close Of the war;"
The Grand Army of the Republic has
come Loyalty forward and passed resolu-
tons protesting against the action of the
board of directors, pledging themselves
to withdraw all support from the fair
unless the invitation is withdrawn. They
resolved that it was an insult to the loyal
citizens Of Winnebago county to invite
the "arch traitor and coward to address
the relatives and surviving friends of
thirteen thousand men murdered at An
dersonville hence the committee will be
compelled to cancel its engagement with
Mr.. Davis and to inform him that the
truly loyal farmers and grangcrs of VIM
ncbago county have refused to have him
tell them what lie thinks and knows on
the subject of agriculture fact that
they insist that having been invited to
come, hc shall now he invited not to
come.
The truth appears to be that the "stur-
dy Republican farmers of Winncbago
have u vast deal more loyalty than sense,
and that they also appear to have surren-
dcrcd their judgment and their po-
likeness 10 the Grand Army OF
the Republic. II may have been
a lasty and ill-considcrcd move to invite
Jefferson Davis to be the orator of the
fair. But the proceedings were entirely
regular, the invitation extended and ac-
cepted, and the Republicans of Whine.
bago county would have been setting an
example worthy of emulation If they
had allowed ii TO stand. The sense OF
wounded feelings which the Withdrawal
will occasion to Mr.. Davis and his friend.
Is small matter compared TO the hostil
ity which the resolutions show the or
ganization known as the Grand Army o
I the Republic harbors toward the South
1t has nothing in common with the spiri
shown by the martyred Lincoln or tn
lamented Sumner, whose "loyalty" ever
