A SCENE IN THE SHERIFPS
/h OFFICE. wv

A newly elected sheriff was sitting in
his office sad-eyed and haggard, He held
in his hand q stack of manuscript repre-
senting the applications Of eight hun
dred and seventy y-nine applicants for po,
sitions of deputy sheriff, each one OF
whom said he had worked for him at tie
polls, and had gained him all the way up
from two hundred to one thousand votes
from their personal friends who did not
vote the Democratic ticket.
A man attired in blue shirt, with a
paper collar and red nose, entered the
office, and grasping the hand Of the tired
official, greeted him cordially. a..
"Ah, Mr.. Sheriff. but it's glad / am to
see you looking so peart; don't you know
me?"
'I don't think l do" remarked the
official, although there is something in
your face that is familiar to me-"
"Ah, Mr., Sheriff l thought you'd know
me. l worked for you all day election,
and got you one thousand votes and |
came for that place"
swell, Pm sorry that have already
promised all the places at my disposal"
ooh, give me place; I don't care what
it is"
ooh, by the by" said the sheriff, with
malicious grin i'll his eye, there is a
place, but it is not worth much, and |
don't think you'd take it,"
"Ah, Mr.. Sheriff, I'll take anything;
| don't care what kind of place it is
Tell what it is and I'll jump at it with
my coat off,"
"All right" said the sheriff; "there is
Chinaman going to be hanged at the
Jail next month, and he wants somebody
to take his place. think it will suit
you"
The man with the red nose ceased tc
smile, and asking the sheriff for quar-.
ter to pay for his lodging that night, he
left the Office and mingled with the
throng of would-be deputy sheriffs OF
the outside.-,San Francisco CaH

THE WORLD.

The following was one Of the late Ma
jor Noah's stories:
"Sir, bring me a good plain, dinner"
said melancholy-looking individual to
waiter at one of our principal hotels.

The dinner was brought and devoured,
and the eater called the landlord to one
side and thus addressed him;
"Are you the landlord%

"Then I am safe. / cannot pay for

out of employment for about seven
months, but have been engaged to work
tomorrow. l had been without food

establishment. will pay you in week" !"
81 cannot pay my bills with such
promises" clustered the landlord; "and
| do not keep poor house. You should
address the proper authorities. Leave
me something for security"
II have nothing"
II will take your coat"
Seven years after that wealthy man
entered the political arena, and was pre-
sented to caucus as an applicant for Con-
gressional nomination. The principal OF
the convention held his peace. He
heard the name and the history of the
applicant, who was a member of the
church, and one of the most respectable
citizens. He was the chairman. The
vote was tie, and he cast a negative,
thereby defeating the wealthy candidate,
whom he met an hour afterward, and to
whom he said;
"You don't remember me?"

although l told you l was famishing,
and pledged you my word of honor to

the risk of my life without it,"
"Well, sir, what them"
"Not much. You called yourself a
Christian. Tonight you were candi-

would have been elected to Congress-"
Three years after the Christian hotel
keeper became a bankrupt. The poor,
dinnerless wretch that was, is now q

indeed wonderful, and the worlds muta-
tions almost beyond conception.

SAVE DAT POCKETBOOK.

A negro planter came up to Vicksburg
the other day, sold his cotton, put his
money in his pocket-book and started
down the river. Leaning over the guards
as the boat backed out, he fell overheard
His portmonnaie, which was in his side
pocket, foated out and rode with his hat
on the surface of the water, while the
current carried the negro away. The
yawl was lowered, assistance at once
started toward the drowning man, who
perceiving his treasure floating of, raised
his voice and shouted
"Save dat pocket-bookW
His head went under and he disap-
peared. AS he rose up again he gasped
!'Dar's $ll8 in dat pocket. book"
Scarcely had he uttered the words, be-
fore he sank a second time.
The yawl came within reach just in
time to rescue the drowning African as
he came to the surface for the last time.
As soon as the water was wiped from his
nose and mouth so that he could see and
speak, he asked
"Did-gou save that pocket-book?"
"No" was the response.
"Well, den" said the negro regretfully
"what de bebbil was the use OBJ savin'
me?"

Catholic and Jewish religions. Gam de

FARM views AND OPINIONS.

Underdrains relieve the land from
stagnant water so disgusting to the sight
and a prolific source of disease to the hui
man family, as well as to putrid milk, so
much complained of among dairymen.
These same waters that become stagnant
by standing on the surface of the land
by being filtered through the soil and
conveyed in an under-drain to a conve,
nient point afford an excellent privilege
for watering stock Utica Herald.

Michigan Farmer.
Corn is the best feed for pigs, and may
be fed in the ear while soft, but when
hard should be ground fine, and wet
with hot water, or otherwise cooked. 1t
has been proved by repeated expert
ments, that corn thus fed will make from
one-third to one-half more pork than
when fed unground, and bushel should
make,fro ten to twelve pounds of meat
when fed to good feeding stock.-Ameri-

A gentleman way out in Idaho says
"Good black ink is not easily obtainable
here, and the trash that passes for the
genuine article is sold at fabulous prices"
For his benefit and others similarly sit
uated we repeat recipe taken from the
New York Tribune: To one quart of
strong decoction of logwood, well strained
add three ounces of blue gals in coarse
powder twelve drahms sulphate of iron,
one and one-quarter drachms acetate of
copper, twelve drachms of well ground
sugar one and one-half ounces of guma-
rabic. Set it over the fire till it begins
to boil, then set it away uncorked till it
has turned black enough; add a few
cloves to keep out the mold. 1t is a real

legible chirography, in ink of a decided
