"Injun Joe's" Cup.
From Mark Twain's tom Sswye

From Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer
The puor unfortunate had starved to
death. In one place near at band a
staiagmite had been slowly grown up
from the ground for ages, builded by the
water-dr'p from stalactite overhead.
The captive had broken off the stalag-
mite and upon the stump placed a stone,
wherein he bad scooped shallow hollow
to catch the precious drop that fell once
10 every twenty minutes With the dreary
regularity OF a clock.tick-a desertspoop.
ful once in four and twenty hours. That
drop was falling when the pyramids we're
new; when Troy fell; when the fouuda.
tons OF Rome was laid; when Christ was
crucitied; when the Couqueror created
the British Empire; whrn Columbus
sailed; when the massacre at Lexington
was news" 1t is falling now; It will
DO still falling when all these thugs
shall have sunk down tie afternoon of
history and the twilight of tradition end
been swallowed up in the thick night of
oblivion. Has everything purpose and
mission? Did this drop fall patiently
during i've thousand years to be- ready
Tor this Hitting human insects need
and has 1t another important object to
accomplish ten thousand years to come !?
No matter, 1t Is many and many a year
since the hapless half breed scooped out
the stone to catch the priceless drops,
but to this day the tourist stares longt st
at that pathetic stone and that slow
dropping water WHEN be comes to see
the wonders of MeDougals Cave. Iniun
Joe's cup stands first in the list of the
ravern's maryels; even "Aladin's
Palace" cannot rival il.

Mark Twain's description Of the hap
p'est boy In the village: " Huckleberry

OF inll-grown men, and they were in Der.

heels. and had the rearward buttons far

to school or to church, or call any being
master, or obey anybody; he could go
hshihg or swimming when or where be
chose, and stay as long as it suited him
nobody forbade him to fight; he could
sit up as late as he pleased; he was
always the first boy that went barefooted

1t is singular coincidence and at the
same time gratifying fact that the
Centennial year OF the Great Republic
should mark the new era Of reform and
serve as date for the commencement Of

sides that such necessity exists. How
to accomplish ii is the next question ia

wise affords qualification to know that
the Democratic standard-bearer had
pluck enough to introduce reform where
1t was most needed and root out corrup.

couR, OF CLAIMS.

To-day is the last day Of tho existence
Of the Court of Chains. Il was the
original intention to have 1t come to an
end on the 22i July. 1875. bu, as il was
found impossible to get through With the
imperative business brought before it,
the time was extended to the 22d OF Jan.
nary. 1876. A further extension was OBJ.
tanned then for a term of six months,
which expires to-day. A bill for its still
further extension has been slumberinR
in the Senate for several weeks and as
Ear a. We are advised. has failed to pass.
The insurance companies interested
have been lobbying for some time to
have the extension Of time granted and
may have succeeded 10 carrying their
point. as money possesses great power Of
argument in influencing the mind of the
average Congressman. The cases and
claims brought before the Com missio uers
have been 80 complicated aud Difficult, of
adjudication that there are still some
three hundred cases on the docket, most.
y minor ones, and some OF them alleged
frauds. Some OF the claims presente
during the time the Court has been in
session are very trivial aud unblushingly
false; instances occurring where the
claimant alleges the loss Of three suits
OF clothes and places tho damages at six
teen hundred dollars. The matter has
also the inevitable political aspect given

SUGGESTIONS.

The practice of taking an inventory
Of ones goods aud property at the close
Of the year. ought to be adopted BY ev-
cry man. A yearly settling with our
selves is the only way to ascertain wheth-
er we are falling in arrears or making a
little advance toward competence or for
tune. If the figures show that we are
falling behind. when no serious or un-
commonly bad luck has attended US, the
way We are pursuing business is un-
profitable, and some change should be
made A close examination into af-
fairs will show where the leakages have
been and suggest remedies. The be-
ginning Of the new year ought to find
Us with cur accounts settled. Those
whom we owe want our note. and their
books balanced. Long running ae-
counts are dangerous, and much larger
than those making them imagine. Settle
often, and as soon as possible arrange
your affairs 80 that your name viii not
be written at all on the merchants
ledger. A cash book. on which all cash
transactions are recorded. whether little
or much business is done. will show
what has become Of that article. which
has such wonderful faculty Of getting
away from US. and the account will be
Of much value as memorandum. While
there is such complaint about the hard
times, and retrenehment is the watch
word. cash book viii show where to
retrench better than anything else. and
may assist US in making the times cas-
Ter.
