SPINNER'S RESIGNATION.

Spinner has resigned. The old
watchdog Of the Treasury, 50 called
because he kennels in the department
buildings, goes out, and Washington
feels that great stones have been
wrenched from the very foundations
of the government. What in the Old
Scratch will become of us wlthont
our Spinner? The President and
Secretary, all the secretaries, fell on
their knees and begged ye ancient
Spinner to reconsider -" Consider,
cow-consider,' was the refrain. But
Spinner would not consider nor re-
consider. lie was growing old and
in6rm. 1t would never do for Spin
ner to grow old and infrm. How
could Spinner fill his parts and be
aged and infrm? They are delicate
duties, look you, call for eternal vigi-
lance and activity. No, he must re-
sign. He had been offered an eliSi-
Bile situation as instructor Of writing
in a mercantile college. lie would
retire on that.
lie considerably dated his resigna-
ton the lst Of July. This was neces
sary, for every female clerk in the
department generally has TO embrace
and kiss the venerable Spinner before
he leaves. There are over a thousand,
and the three hundred under his i'm
mediate control have to kiss and en-
brace in tears three times. "llave
you embraced ?" is the question asked
by one female clerk of another. A
placarl over the door announces,
Embraces and tears between ten and
twelve" Long lines are formed Of
female clerks, each armed with two
handkerchiels and spittoon. The
rooms of the venerable W. d. are al
ready SO damp that grave apTrchen-
sions are felt Of influenza. The dis
tressing rumor ran through the de-
partment that the venerable and be-
loved W. d. had sneezed, but Oh being.
investigated it was found to he false.
If the venerable W. d. should get the
rheumatism or take cold in his head,
there would be CONSERVATION. Nay,
there would be excitement and hys-
terics. Let us pray there be no rAeu
lnatism and colds.
and now farewell We ancient man,
And now farewell quo She;
IA prcfancr cuss in all the land
We never more may see"

trunk Of the tree stands wholly upon

law regards the overhangins branches
as a nuisance, and they may be re-

land shaded may remove them if lie
is careful not to commit any wonton

BUTLER ON CIVIL RIGHTS.

|
out the leave 9th proprietor. And
in reference to barber shops he says
the trade Of barber is like any other
trade, to be carried on by the man
who is engaged in it at his will and
pleasure, and the civil rights bill has
nothing to do, and was intended to
have nothing to do, with its exercise.
".7rom time immemorial all men
have had equal rights at common law
in places of common amusement, in
public conveyances and inns or H.
censed taverns, because all such bust
ness was for the public, under special
privileges granted ly the government.
The civil rights bill only confirms
these rights Of all citizens to the
colored man in consideration of the
prejudice against him and an attempt
in certain parts of the country to in
terfere with the exercise Of those
common law rights, and has enacted
a penalty as means OF enforcing the
right on his behalf IN consideration Of
his helpless and dependent conli-
ton.
"The civil rights bill has not altered
the colorcd mans rights at all from
what they We're before under the COM
mon law applicable to nearly every
State in the Union. 1t has only
given him greater power to enforce
that right, to meet the cxigcncy Of
combined effort to deprive colored
citizens Of it, and all idea that the
civil rights bill allows the colored
man to force himself into any man 5
shop or into any mans private house,
or into any eating house, boarding
house or establishment other than
those | have named, i simply an OK
hibition Of ignorance, as we'll as, in
some cases, Of insullerable prejudice
and malignity. and while | SUSTAIN
any colored maa in firmly and prop
erly insisting upon his rights under
the civil rights bill which We're his al
common law as they We're the right OF
every citizen, yet | should oppose to

AZ During the war Georgian start
ed to Marietta with some chickens for
sale. He met q squad of soldiers, and
they bought all his chickens but one
rooster. He insisted that they should
take him, but they were out of money
and couldn't buy.
The old man said he hated to go on
to town with only one chicken, and was
greatly puzzled about it.
At last one of the soldiers said:
cold man, I'll play you game OF
seven-up for him."
"Agreed," says the old man.
They played long and spirited
game. At last the soldier won. The
old man wrung the ROSTERS neck and
tossed him at the soldiers feet, and
mounted his swab-tailed pony and start
ed home. After getting some two hun
bred yards he suddenly stopped, turned
round, and rode back and said:
"You played that game, and won the
rooster fairly, but I'd like TO know what
in the HI you put up agin' that roost-
er ?"

REMEDY FOR WARTs.-Warts are very
troublesome and disfguring. The fol-
lowing is perfect cure, even of the
largest, without leaving any scar. 1t is
q Frenchman's prescription, and has
been tested by the writer: Take small
piece of raw beef, steep it all night in
vinegar, cut as much from it as will
cover the wart, and tie it on it; if the
excrescence is on the forehead, fasten it
ON with strips of sticking-plaster. 1t
may be removed in the day and put on
every night. In one fortnight the wart
will die and peel off. The same pre-
scription will cure corns.

CouaHNa.- best method of cas-
ing a cough is to resist in with all the
force of will possible, until the accumu-
lation of phlegm becomes greater; then
thore is something to cough against,
and it comes up very much easier, and
with half the coughing. A great deal
of hacking, and hemming, and coughing
in invalids is purely nervous, or the re-
suit of mere habit, as is shown by the
frequency with which it occurs while
the patient is thinking about it, and
comparative rarity when he is so much
engaged that there is no time to think,
or when the attention is impelled in an
other direction.
