Thoughts ON the COmman
ments.
'Ieve your neighber as yourself D.
So the parson breaches
That's one-half the decalogue -
So the prayer book teaches.
Half my duty l can dc
With but little labor;
For with all my beart and soul
do love my neighbor.
Mighty little credit, that,
To my self-denial
Not to love her, though, might be
Somsthing of trial.
Why, the rosy light that peeps
Through the glass above her,
Lingers round her lips; you see
Fen the sunbeams love her.
So, to make my merit more,
I'll go beyond the letter
Love nay nsighbOr as myself?
Yes, and ten times better.
For she's sweeter than the breath
Of the spring that passes
Through the fragrant, budding woods,
O'er the meadow grasses.
And I've preached the word, 1 know,
For it was my duty
To convert the stubborn heart
OF the little beauty.
Once again success has crowned
Missionary labor,
For her sweet eyes own that she
Also loves her neighbor.

A rather singular scene occur
red at the depot Friday afternoon.
A lady was going by when a gem
t!eman stepped out and said to
her: "How'd do!' extending his
hand and smiling cheerlully.-
81 beg pardon" said she, looking
hard at him; ''you have the ad-
vantage of me-" "Why. don't
ycu know nae?" he asked, amazed.
II cant remember you," she said.
"Why | used to be your husband
John Augustus Henderson, you

A Scaly Girl.

The Milwaukee NeavS,,says:-
There was young girl at the po.
lice station recently not over six
teen, with prepossessing face and
a good figure, whose body and
limbs are covered with scales a..
bout the size of and similar in ap-
pearance to the scales of a fish.
Medical gentlemen who have ex.
amined her say that she presents
the most extraordinary case of
malfOrmation on record. These
scales have the chameleon like
function of changing their color.
The scales on her arm, while the
writer was present changed twice
from a pale amber color to blood
red and back again. They did
not overlie each other as in the
case of fsh or reptiles, but appear
ed to be imbedded in the fesh-in
sort of mosaic work; and in
the color changes, the transform
alton does not take place at once
in all the inbricated plates, but
varies some turning red while the
others retain the amber color
which seems to be the primary
hue.

An Iowa laborer has sued an
old farmer on a rather queer con
tract. The man hired to the
farmer on the condition that part
of his wages would be paid in mon-
ey, and that for the balance he
should receive one of the old
mans daughters in marriage
The labor was performed. and
the money was paid, bnt the girl
was not forthcoming. This was
not the fault of the old man, but
of his daughter, who refuses to be
made subject of bargain and sale.
Whereupon the laborer sued the
father on the contract, bat we are
not informed whether the suit is
for specific performance or for
damages. Ii for damages we ap-
prehend that the laborer has
good cause for action, though his
damages must be small in proper
ton to the value of an unwilling
wife. The great suit of Jacob va.
Laban. 1st Moses, 80. does not af-
ford precedent, as it was COM
promised by the parties, and it
seems that the great legal talent
of Iowa will be forced to wrestle
with new principle in jurispru-
1ence. The case will probably
be left to a jury, whose verdict
largely dependsupon the'matrimo-
NAL experience Of its component
carts.

An old Highlander, rather fond
of his toddy, was ordered by his
physician, during a temporary ILL
ness, not to exceed one ounce of
spirits daily. The old gentleman
was dubious about the amount,
and asked his son, school boy,
how much an ounce was. "SiX-
teen drachms," was the reply
"Sixteen drains! an excellent doc,

rELEGRAMS IN A NUT SHELL.

The Attorney General is informed BY
telegraph from st. Louis that no indictments
had been found against General Babcock
up to Saturday night. The fact has given
great encouragement to the latter's friends
who are becoming more and more connoent
that there will be no civil proceedings
against him.
The report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury has been mailed to the collectors OF the
Internal Revenue and Customs officers at
all the principal points in the United states
that can be reached by mail up to noon on
Tuesday, at which hour the report will be
submitted to Congress. The Customs and
Revenue officers are instructed to deliver
the copies to the representatives Of the two
Press Associations at New York, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, and to accredited repre-
sentatives of the different papers published
at other points, on being notified that
the report has been transmitted to Con-
gress.
Information reaches Washington from
New Orleans that the committee appointed
at the recent Levee Convention for the pur.
pose of memorialixing Congress to assume
the protection of the levees and the recla-
nation of the alluvial basin of the Missis,
sippi is engaged in raising the sum of fifty
thousand dollars to enable the delegation tc
proceed to Washington and make the
scheme a success. This has the appearance
| Of huge job. 1t is also proposed to gel
Congress to assume the entire levee indebt
edness of Louisiana and Arkansas, amour
ing to something over nine millions of dol
lars.
Postmaster Burt, of Boston, is in Wash
| ington, and there is every reason to believe
that his removal has been decided upon
and virtual understanding arrived at be-
tween the President and Postmaster Gene
raj Jewell to the effect that E. s. Tobey
shall be nominated to the Senate this week
as Burt's successor.
