served this morning with process in
a civil suit to recover one million dol
lars, principal and interest of bonds

Fun and Otherwise.

Meter false curls, false teeth, false
calves, nor even false eyes are so bad as
false tongues and false hearts.
The sweetest Of all pleasures, and one
that will never decay, is to cherish the
heart that loves you.
The meanest Of all possible traits OF
character is that which prompts m an
to greet you friendly to your face and
deneunce and SANDER you to others.
A young man at Holly Springs, Miss.
recently volunteered to aid in taking up
the collection at one of the churches
there, and succeeded in raising a con-
siderable sum. He approached the
door and was about to 60 out with his
hat full of contributions on his head,
when the minister said solemnly,
''young man, if you leave here with that
money, you'll be damned" The young
man however, left in hurry, and as be
shut the door behind him, a worthy
old bachelor, with voice in Il. sharp,
who put dollar in the hat, piped out
to the minister, "Well if he amt gone
with it, TU be dog-oned."

A Miser Starves Himself to
Death.

Baltimore american. Oct. Is.
DR.. Thomas j. Manahan died in
Browns Hotel on Wednesday evening,
of general debility, superinduced by
starvation. About one year ago Man
ahan was admitted to the Church
Home as a pauper, his clothing being
torn and SO filthy that it had to be
taken from him. The dirty clothing
was precious to Mammalian In the linz
ing of the vest were packages Of money,
which were handed to the supposed
pauper, who instead of a grateful ac-
knowledment, charged the employee Of
the institution who delivered the money !,
with having robbed him of a sum which
he said was missing from one of the
packages. The money was found. 1t
was afterwards discovered that Mana
han owed large sums of money to
clearinghouse keepers, it being his
custom to remain at one short time,
and leave without paying his bills. Re-
Gently Mammalian made Browns Hotel,
in North High street; his home, but had
denied himself nourishment. DIR, Houck,
who was called after the miser had
breathed his last, gave it as his opinion
that Mapahan had been suffering from
general debility. The sum Of $780,
% was found among the miser's effects.

Who Got the Kettle 4!

Two Irishmen, while walking
across ploughed field, happened
to catch sight of an old kettle.
Both immediately claimed it, and
the dispute waxed hot.
Finally one of them exclaimed |:
II say, Mike, the man who can
tell the biggest lie gets the ket-
tle!"
"All right answered Mike, ian
we'll leave the daycissiop to the
first man we meet"
So Pat told a whopper, and
Mike told whopper, and the first
man they met was good Deacon
Plumb. After they had told him
about the matter, he remarked:
my good men, don't you know
that it is wrong to lie in any case.
I,myself, never told a lie in my
life.n
"Oh, murther I" cried Pat, in
comic surprise, "give the deacon
the kettle give the deacon the
kettle!"

Triumph for the Knabe
Piano.

A DIPLOMA OF HONOR-MEDAL OF
MERIT AND CERTIFICATE OF DIS
TINCTION ATTHE CENTENNIAL.
PHILADELPHIA October ~, '76.
--Messrs. VIM. Knabe & co. have
won a great victory, and they are
to be congratulated. They tri-
umph over all competitors in the
Piano-For;e Department and have
been awarded the highest honors
in the power of the Centennial
authorities to bestow. The Judges
of Awards and the Centennial
Commission have unanimously
decreed them the Diploma of Hon
or, the Medal of Merit, and, in adj
dition, a Certificate of Distinction.
The reports ofthe Judges specify
ing the elements of merit are the
only reliable opponents of their
decisions, and their report on the
Knabe Pianos states that their in
struments possess the highest ex-
cellence, and that they more
nearly approach perfection than
any other,in power, richness SYM
pathetic quality of tone. in ease
and certainty of action. and in ele-
gance and durability of workman
ship. This leaves nothing to be
desired, and in recognizing and
commencing this rare combina-
ton of qualities in all their g. yles
of Grands. Squares and Uprights,
the Judges have acted wisely, and
have but endorsed and ratified the
opinion of a great majority of Wis.,
itors at the Centennial. The
Messrs. Knabe & Co. have mad
ess noise, and have been more
sparing in the use of bombast
than some of the competitors, pre-
ferring to leave with the Judges
the duty of determining which
Pianos were really the best. The
Judges were all experts, and they
have honestly rendered their ver-
dict in favor of the Knabe Piano
The public willdoubtless commend
their action.

want to hear somebody say that I'm

No one said so,and he went on.
"l've stood around here and heard
men blow about kicking mules until
I've got disguised. When you come
down to kicking, want to bet on my
mule. A preacher came along and took
dinner with me the other day and as be-
seemed little disheartened took him
out to see Thomas Jefferson, my cham
pion mule. / was telling the good maa
how that mule would flop bis hind feet
around, and he said he'd like to see
little fun. He'd passed his whole life
in the South, but had never seen mule
lay his soul into big time at kicking
'sWell," he continued, after borrow
ing some tobacco; Il took Thomas out

The crowd began to yell and sheer, and

On the following Monday morn
ing Tom Darcy assumed his old
place at the head of the great ma
chine-shop, and those who thor
oughly knew him had no fear of
his going back into the slough and
the jOylesSneSs.
A few days later Tom met Peter
finder on the street.
"Eh! Tom, old boy, what's
up!
81 am upright side up ?"
"Yes-a-I see. But / hope
you haven't forsaken us, Tom
Il have forsaken only the evil

ISL concluded my wife and little
ones had fed on huskS about long
enough, and if there was a good
kernel left in my heart, or in my
manhood, they should have it,
"Ah. You heard what Isaidto
my wife that night ?''
Eyes, Peter; and / shall be
grateful to you for it as long as /

will always be relieved by that
tlnge of warmth and brightness"
And Peter Tindar went home
and meditated. Somehow he did
not feel quite like holding up his
head as he met his fellow men. If
he had a thought that Tom Darcy
might fall back, he was mistaken.
The hand of God had been in that
work, and one of Gods own chosen
angels IA true and loving wife,
was a helper and sustainer.

Rejection ofEIyctoraI Votes.
CAN A STATE BE DIsrRANcHIsED.

\ CAN A STATE BE DISFRANCHISED.
WAsHINGToN Oct. II. There has
been considerable discussion of late
in regard to the possible course Of
the counting Of electoral votes on the
second "Wednesday Of February next
in case the Presidential election
should be very close and turn upon
the counting or rejection of the vote
of single State. Democrats here
have asserted that in case the cleo
tion Of Gov. Hayes should turn upon
accepting the vote Of South Carolina
the House would object, ard under
the twenty-second Joint rule, which
provides that il either House per-
sists in objecting to receive the vote
of any State IL shall not be received,
they would prevent its being counted,
and thus DEF eat the election OF
Hayes. Several similar cases have
formed the subject of discussion
here. 1t is, however, a fact, though
not generally known, that thus far
the XLIVth Congress has not
adopted any joint rules. The prac-s
tice has been at the opening OF the
session to pass resolutions adopting
the rules OF the previous Congress,
and generally such aresolntion passes
as q matter Of course.
At the last session, however, the
House adopted the rules 1.-THE Senate
failed to concur and consideration
of the subject went over.under an OBJ
lection to present consideration by
Senator Edmunds. As a final result
the session closed without adopting
joint rules, and the twenty second
rule fell with the rest. This left the
joint convention for counting the
electoral vote without any rules other
than the constitutional provision
for its meeting and the opening Of
the votes by the President OF the
Senate and the counting of the same.
