A BOYS IDEAS OF HEADS Heads
are of different shapes and sizes. They
are full of notions. Large heads do
not always hold the most. Some per,
sons can tell what man is by the shape
of his head. High heads are the best
kind. Very knowing people are called
long headed A fellow that won't stop
for anything or any body is called hot>
headed. If he isn't quite SO bright
thev call him soft beaded; if he won't
be coaxed nor turned they call him pig
headed. Animals have very small
heads. The heads Of fools slant back,
When your head is cut off you are be-
headed, Our heads are all covered with
hair, except bald heads. There are
other kinds of heads besides our heads.
There are barrel heads, heads of SER
mons--and some ministers used to have
fifteen heads to one sermon; pin heads,
heads of cattle, as the farmer calls his
cows and oxen; hsad winds, drum
heads, cabage heads, at loggerheads,
come to a head, heads of chapters,
head him off, head of the family, and
go ahead-but first be sure Won are
right.
PASSING THE FANILY.--The Aurora
III. Beacon says, speaking of certain
railroad officer:
Speaking of Cross reminds us that
when he first removed to Riverside. mn.
merous Irish women and colored men
were employed for house cleaning,
and they were sent to and from the citv
day by day on Mr.. C.'s family pass.
One day this pass was presented to Hi.
Evans by charming young lady. The
affable conductor inquired, Are you a
member of Mr.. Cross family?'
Yes. SIR was the reply, accompan-
led by winning smile.
Singular muttered Hi; 4 have |
seen this pass several times, but sup |
posed MIR. G. S family were all Irish.'
The young lady's eyes flashed fire
and in a thoughtful mood Evans re-
sumsd his call for ticketsr
Next day Sam GRANGE was in charge
OF the train that conveyed the young |
lady to the city and the same pass was
presented.
Are you a member of Mr.. Cross
family" asked the conductor. I

The st. Louis Convention meets to-
morrow. But it is hardly likely that a
ballot for candidates will be reached be-
fore Wednesday afternoon. Tilden has
undoubtedly the lead in the number Of
delegates, but there are many who de-
clare he cannet get two-thirds and that
he will be the Blaine of the Conven-
ton" Hancock seems to be very strong
with the South, and there are many who
say he will certainly be on the ticket.
The New York Sun of to-day says: 1--WE
say frankly that we should prefer Sena-
Tor Bayard while for a cordial, whole
souled, manly and agreeable President
we should like Gen. Hancock. But we
are against both these gentlemen, and
several others for whom we have much
respect, for the simple reason that Gov
Tilden is retormer, and, what is more
a genuine reformer, who has proved his
faith by his works, and as such has
gained deservedly greater prestige and
strength among the people of the United
States than any other statesman in ths
country.

Shall the Expenses be Reduced.
THE CEAD-LOCI

THE 2EAD-LoCK.
From the baltimore Gazette,
This is the. origin of the deadlock.
The present House of Representative
was elected to do precisely the thing
they have done. They were sent to
Washington to reduce the wasteful
expenditures and corrupt robberies of
the administration. They would have
been false to their duty had they done
otherwise. In pursuance of this duty
they have slowly, with lnGnite labor
and pains, inspected in detail, item by
item, the expenditures of the govern, ,
ment! They have found that those ex-
penses could be cut down thirty-nine
millions, and might, without crippling
the service, be cut down fifty millions.
The bills which they carefully consid
cred and passed were sent to the Sen.
ate, and there they were loaded down
with amendments, restoring: the old
extravagances and wastes. The Sen
ate, in other words, say that economy
and reform should not be introduced
into the government. They insis
upon the continuance of the old reck
less and spendthrift policy. Tht
House refuses to agree to these amend
ments. The matter is thus at dead
lock, and the President threatens t
