Something New.

A facetious exchange says: AS
the Centennial approaches allsorts
of devices saving time and money
are in order. With view Of facil-
itating rapid transit, Pittsburg
man has invented an apparatus
for taking passengers on and put
ting them off without stopping the
trains at way stations. The candi-
date for q ride to Philadelphia is
stood upon a platform, when he
waits like mail bag to be taken
in. AS the car approaches a ma
chine like the top of table work
ing on an elbow like joint, reaches
out suddenly, strikes the awaiting
traveller In the middle, he falls for
ward on the table, and before he
is aware of it the conductor is
holding him by the collar while
the train clerk goes through his
clothes for his ticket or cash fare.
BY the time the traveller has re-
covered his breath he is fifty miles
on his journey, and the porter Of
the parl0r car has blsckened his
boots and busted his clothes.

A Mans El0pes With His
Wife's Sister.

The Coffeyville Courier says the
gossips are busy just now in
Cherokee township talking about
the elopement of Perry Clarey
with his wife's fourteen year old
sister, the daughter of Lewis Son.
ger. Carey has been married some
four or five years, and is the father
of three children. For some tune
he has lived at Vinita in the Cher
okee nation, but recently removed
his family to Chetopa. Last week
he left his wife and children in
ChetOpa and came over into this
county, where his father-in-law
lives, and day or two after ran
away with his wife's younger Sis
ter. They went south on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroad,
as far as Vinita. The father of the
young girl telegraphed to parties
there, and the dispatch was shown
to Clarey, which induced him to
"get up and dust" for a more con-
genial clime.--Atchison,. Kansas,)

EUCHRE--THE GAME OF LIFE,
BY JOHN G. SAKE.


There's game much 10 fas hion7-l
think its called Ettchre /;
Though | never have played it for plea
sure or lucre.)
In which. when the cards are in GER
tain conditions,
The players appear to have changed
their positions,
And one of them cries in confident
tone,
II think / may venture to go it alone 70
While watching the game, tits whim
of the bard's
A moral to draw from the skirmish of
cards,
And to fancy he finds in tho trivial
strife,
Some excellent hints for the battle Of
Life,
Where-whether the prize be ribbon
or throne
The winner is he who can "go it alone!"
Alas for the player who idly depend DIS,
In the struggle Of life, upon kindred or
friends,
Whatever the value of blessings like
these,
They can never atone for inglorious
ease,
Nor comfort the coward, who finds
with groan,
That his crutches have left him to ego
it alone"
There's something, no doubt, in the
hand you may hold,
Health, family, culture, wit, beauty and
gold,
The fortune owner may fairly regard
As, each in its way, most excellent
card;
Yet the game may be lost, with all these
Tor your own,
Unless you've the courage to "go it
Alone"
In battle or business, whatever the
game,
In law or in love, it is ever the same
In the struggle for power, or the scram-
BILE for pelf,
Let this be your motto-"Rely on
Yourself I"
For, whether the prize be ribbon or
throne,
The victor is be who can Ego it alone !"

Messrs. Bass & Co., brewers of
Burton ale, paid the railway car
riers, last year $4,000 week for
freight charges upon their goods.
AS they are not the largest firm in
the traffic, 1t can be guessed what
the large firms pay. Certainly
not less than $40, 900. How much
beer is drunk every day in Lon
don ? We cannot tell exactly but
as there are 10000 taverns, we can
venture tie calculate; there Is not
less than an average of rs gallons
I'm each, and decidedly not less
than 100000 in all. There is a
small inn close TO the London gen.
eral postoffice where 1856 gallons of
stout are retailed every day, while
one opposite the Bank of England
gets rid of not less than 200 gall
Ions. A not very large beer saloon
close to the Great Northern Rail-
way depot lately sold its good will
for $50, 900. Many very quiet-look-
ing beer houses have wagon load
of ale and stout every morning.
The load is never less than a dozen
to dozen and half 35-gallon bar
rels. Certain houses, such as the
Elphant and Castle, the Red Cap,
Adelaide, Mother Shipton, Royal
Oak, Eagle, and Angel, couldn't
be bought under a moderate for
tune, aud would be cheap at that,

The Teeth As indicators.

A physiognOmist writes that
regular white teeth seen at once
upon the mouth opening, but not
always entirely seen, denote acute
ness, truth and goodness Small,
short teeth, which are seldom pure
white, denote strength +; long teeth
always imply weakness and want
of spirit. Those which are firm
and strong, whatever the color, de-
note firmness and strength. 1.-THE
upper gum Is much seen immedi-
ately on opening the mouth it
generally denotes GOODNESS.

Mr.. George Jones, publisher of
the New York Times, has succeed
ed in purchasing ten shares belong
ing to the Taylor estate. The
price paid was $4,000 per share,
and as there are only one hundred
shares of the Times stock, this
places the value Of the stock at ST.

Jones the owner of 50 shares of
stock, being a controlling interest
whilst Mr.. jennings, the editor
Of the Times owns seven shares,
and Mr.. E. Morgan forty shares.
1t is understood that Mr.. Morgan
desired to obtain these ten shares,
and an additional one, In order

An AristOcrat Of the Hill
Country Of Virginia.


Porte Crayon'in Harper's Magazine
Squire Stubble isan aristocrat of
the ancient carbuncle type,and his
career justly entities him to all the
regards accorded to the proudest
of our AngloNorman an, estry. In
his youth bold, literate and un-
scrupulous as a feudal baron, he
entered this country a penniless
adventurer, and squatted on a ter
ritoriaI domain, which, by dint Of
club and the common law (up
here) he has successfully defended
against all comeis. By chivalric
coup de main he Won a fair and
willing bride from an ugly rival
end unwilling parents, and with
sturdy perseverance has wrung
independence from the more crab
bed and unwilling soil of his squat
ter sovereignty. After the estab-
lishment Of property and family
came dignity and honor. Stubble
was made magistrate, aud the
champion eff fist and thumb-nail
became the bulwark Of the law.
Hence his grammarlcss good sense
lifted him to a seat in the State
Legislature. At Richmond our
hero found world he didn't un-
derstand ,aud that understood him
as little. His first care was TO es-
tablish himself quarters at once
luxurious and economical. Fried
liver for breakfast, and your boots
BACKED every morning whether
you would or not, all for three
dollars week. Barring an occa-
sional treat at the Governors he
didn't circulate much socially and
in the new Capitol never opened
his mouth except to admit pea
nuts or vote. A representative
from the adjoining county, with
less brains and more tongue, did
all the talking for him, and in re-
turn for the service commanded
his steadfast and unquestioning
support.
Having seen the elephant Stubble
was satisfied, and could never be
induced to try it again "He had
feasted on fried liver, and his boots
BACKED, drank whiskey with the
Guv'ner and sot in the Legisla-
ture" Thereafter he be-
came a recognized power in coun-
ty politics and the influential pat
ron of candidates for office. turning
his back on the rough heads, and

lfall the bank failures produced
such dire consequences as did that

would be less numerous. The
Times says: TT has thrown a
firebrand into this community that
will trouble 1t for at least a gener-
alton. It has been complicated
with, and public sentiment at
tempted to be manufactured by
dragging into it church and per-
sonal difficulties, individual likes
and dislikes. 1t assails the judge
on the bench and the jury in the
box, the preacher In the pulpit and
congregation in the pews, the pri-
vate citizen at his business and in
the bosom of his family-none,
none are escaping its malign influ-
ences. They either yield and be-
come co-workers in iniquity, or
are the objects of suspicion, or, fred
to indignation, become zealots in

to a wooden mould of semi-circu-

brought to a white heat. 1t was

factory and after it was placed
therein, the work of fashioning
the cylinder 10 its proper proper

by blowing through the iron tube

while ut the time two men raised

feet in height and seventy-four
