(iiggling Girls,

A lady writer gives the following we'll
merited remarks on what she terms
"gigglipg girls: The Te.hes. Per.
haps you don't know them by that name.
Well, then, suggest better. They are
the salt OF our society, in one sense !;
girls Of good minds-minds that will be
good il they survive the giggling nge /;
girls Of good families, well dressed,
polite, and fine looking, but possessed
OF tho insane idea that they must laugh
upon NIL occasions, whether there is any
thing to warrant it or not else they are
not jolly, gay girls, and lively company.
A bevyof them cameinto apublic library
one day. Ono had Just had IN nd
venture, which was to be recited. She
dropped into chair, bent over, and
held her sides, aud they all chorused in.
They hadn't heard it yet; but OF course
it would be awfu! funny when it was
told. She was coming up the street
when she stepped on a rotten plank-te
he he | chorus, to hel-and down she
went. Oh, dear !-te he he !-and her
foot got tangled-full chorus, TO he hel
he!-and man came along with n
horrid check shirt on-hel ho he J.
big checks; perfectly horrid Tho p
and helped her up-he he hol Then
a waving Of the bodies back and forth,
and n grand te he all H5itum, NIL to-
gether. They were splendid girls IL
speak sincerely. But what IN exhibi-
toni l saw an old graybeard take a
book hc didn't want and hurry away.
Then another girl took it up, and saiu
her book was SO comical she Just howled
over 1.-THE! hel They must all read it
they would laugh SO. As II that was
the end and aim OF girls existence.
When man is amused hc laughs with
Rusto, and then straightens bis face till
the next time. And it has some mean-
ing. But tho perpetual grin or giggle
is detestOblc. Alta lecture recently 1 saw
six young ladies seemingly convulsed
with laughter for FIVE minutes or more
ut the accidental dropping Of paper
Of candies over the floor. I think l can
60 into social parlor md select the
groups OF married ladies from those Of
the girls-not by their faces nor by their
dresses, but by the amount OF gigglipg
done. Matrimopy subdues the snickerer.

A Practical Joker.

Therc is man in New York-a Cali
fornian-who is mover SO happy rs
when he is playinga practical joke. The
other night he was at the theater and
saw with his military eye-i. c., white
turned up with red-hOw much the
couple next to him were enjoying them
selves. They cooed in the sentimental
passages and nearly dissolved away into
tears on one auother's shoulders when
tho pathetic Incidents wGre unfolded.
"Ill spoil their fun, thought he. SO
ho toro OF the back Of q letter aud wrote
Oh it in lead pencil us follows: If any
thing should happen to me, have me
sent to the Hoffman House." Then he
handed it to the young gentleman who
made one Of the happy pair. He read
it. then they looked ut one another, and
then they looked ut him. He is pale
man, this little joker, and he can assume
a deadly.lively expression at will. Not
another blissful minute did that cooiug
twain pass that evening. Every other
minute they would look toward him;
not m instnnt did he assert his natural
vivacity. "a night with n madman "
was nothing to it. But Mt tho close of
tho performance this pale man arose,
followed by the anxious eyes Of the hap
py pair, and slowly mingled with the
throng. AS he turned away an apprcci-
ativo smile lit mp his classic features-
but they will never know.

anyway" she said, tears rolling out OF
her eyes. "I'm glad he's got the
house, as long as we haven't. We must
begin to look about us now; it must be
well on the first OF May"
Then her weak, wandering sight be-
gun to fall upon each well beloved arti-
Gle OF furniture filing its appointed
place, upon the still bright and CHEEKY
carpet that had been fitted to the par
lors so many years ago. upon this and
that bracket on the wail, this and that
niche for familiar household gods.
"Oh, dear!" she cried to herself,
piteously, "am I going now to DO n
weak, maudlin woman, and cry over
what can't be helped7"
"Joe," she said .hnt night to young
Graham, "I wish you'd look up n house
for us. Jones isn't worth q pin that
way, and you see how it is. Do, like n
good boy, just get us q place in the city,
as near by as You can"
"Why, Mrs. JONES'" said Joe, "I'm
sorry il it displeases you, but We were
compelled to do something, and I
thought perhaps you wouldn't mind just
living as We are for another year
mother and ] upstairs and you down, in
the old way"
"In the dear, blessed old way" mur-
murcd Mrs. Jones, holding ont to him
her shaking hands. "God bless you,
Joe |"

A Cooperative Store.

A cooperative association. now in
successful operation in New York city,
exhibits somo features Of interest in
showing another method. In Novem-
ber, 1875, thirty gentlemen Of means
and position united under the laws OF
tho State and opened cooperative
store for their own use and benefit
Each member contributed one hundred
dollars in cash, and, under the manage
nent Of board Of directors, compe-
tent manager and four assistants were
engaged at reasonable wages. A small
store was hired, q choice stock OF gro
ceries purchased, few simple rules
prepared, and tho store went into opera
ton. By these rulss, each member
makes all his purchases at the store, and
either pay cash or opens au account
that must be paid on the first day Of
each month. The member has nothing
to do beyond thi.. Ho pays in his
hundred dollars, forgocs all interest in
it, and expects no bonus or dividend Of
any kind. Tho profit comes in the re-
duced cost Of the goods.
Once each month tho business Of tho
store is examined by m advisory board,
aud, if there isa profit over the expenses,
the prices are lowered sufficiently to ex-
tinguish it. II there is loss, the prices
are raised sufficiently to cover it during
the next month. The experiment has,
so for, worked smoothly md proved q
success. The store not only supplies
the members with the best goods, but
delivers them free at their residences ut
IL very material reduction from the retail
market rates. The store itself is per-
fectly plain, and is exceptionally neat
and attractive. There is no gliding or
display, not even sign, except card on
the door. 1t is only open by daylight,
and is only visited by the members.
No member is liable beyond the 800
invested on joining the association, and
any one may withdraw at any time by
giving sufficient notice, and may then
recover his money in the fortn Of a
gradual abatement on his monthly
purchases.

The Black Hills.

Gen. Sherman, in published letter,
says: l have been to the President
with Gov. Thayer. After reading tho
papers, and somo discussion, the Presi-
dent said that tho people who had gone
to the Black Hills OF Dakota, inside the
Sioux reservation, or who may here
after go there, are there wrongfully, and
that they should be notified OF the fact.
But the government is engaged in Ger.
tain measures that will probably result
in opening up the country to occupation
and settlement. Meanwhile the Indians
should not be allowed to scalp and kill
anybody, and you are authorized to af-
ford protection to all persons who are
coming away and who arc conveying
food aud stores Tor those already there.
l understand tlat arrangements are now
in progress with "Red Cloud" and
"Spotted Tail" to remove, and neon.
while the agency Indians should be kept
near the agencies. II satisfactory mr.
rangements nre not concluded, new
orders will be made Us to the whites
who have intruded on the Sioux reser-
yatiol.

Centennial Notes.

Six thousand silkworms from China
arc on exhibition at the Centennial.
In the cataract in tho annex OF Ma
chinery hall the sheet Of water is thirty
three feet in length, And has q fall Of
thirty.lve feet.
The number OF cases in the vicinity OF
the Exhibition of drunkenness, disor-
der or dissipation is said to have been
thus far very small.
The national parade of flremen will
take place in Philadelphia on the sixth
OF September, Hamilton Disston, Of
Philadelphia, grand marshal.
C,nadG has contributed section Of a
white pine tree, eight feet five inches in
diameter, perfectly sound from bark to
heart, although its age is estimated to
be G64 years.
A poplar tree on the grounds Inns been
decorated with hanging branches OF
moss from Georgia, illustrating the
manner Of growth in the swampy lands
OF the South.
The following alteration and addition
have been made to tho list OF special
displays already announced Early
grass butter and cheese, June 26 to July
G, instead OF June 13 to II; grapes, Oc.
tober 10 to II.
The Boston Post remarks: II the Con.
tennial authorities should sec fit to offer
prize for the pink OF politeness it is
questionable whether American exhibi.
tors ut Philadelphia could stand any
chance by the side Of their foreign
brethren. Take, for instance, the man
ner adopted by tho different exhibitors
in giving notice that their goods arc not
to DO handled. The blunt Yankee
"hands oil" printed III bold letters and
fastened in hall dozen places on every
case. looks brusque beside the courteous
"plcase not handle" Of the English ex
hibitors, and tho still more polits "vis
itors will confer favor" ETC., etc.
which is tho way the request is worded
by tho French, Egyptians and others.

Going 10 the Bad.

About eight years ago Emmett, before
then II negro minstrel, started out rs q
"Dutch" comedian, and won popularity
and fortune in n play called "Fritz. "
Flo is said to have made $3.50, 000ih five
years. as his ability to draw large audi
cuccs enabled him to dictate terms with
managers. Drunkenness was ono Of the
results of his success. During his last
engagement in New York city he was
often porceptibly intoxicated when on
the stage. A letter in tho San Francisco
Post says that on the stage Of tho opera
house in Melbourne, Australia, hO was
recently so drunk that he fell while try.
lug to dance, and soon Rfterward fell
asleep in tho midst Of n scene. The
stage manager reused him aud led him
behind tho scenes, and tho audience de-
parted in disgust.
