THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
How Brown Married OF III. Daughters.

"Brown, l don't know how it is
that your girls all marry of as soon
as they get old enough, while none
of mine can marry"
"Oh, that's simple enough. /
marry my girls of on the buckwheat
straw principle" .
"But what is that principleS /
never heard Of it before"
"Well, | used to raise a good deal
Of buckwheat, and it puzzled me to
know how to get rid Of the straw.
Nothing would eat it, and it was a
great bother to me. At last | thought
Of a plan. stacked my buckwheat
straw nicely and built q high rail
fence around it. Ny cattle, Of course
concluded that it was something
choice, and at once tore down the
fence and began to eat the straw. l
dogged them away and put up the
fence . few times, but the more |
drove them away the more anxious
they became to eat the straw,
and eat it they did, every bit of it.
9As 1 said, l marry my girls off on the
same principle. When young man
that l don't like begins calling on
my girls l encourage him in every
way l can; tell him to come often
and stay as late as be pleases, and |
take pains to hint to the girls that
they had better set their caps for
him. 1t works first rate. He don't
make many calls for the girls treat
him as coolly as they can. But when
. young fellow that like comes
around, q man that l think would
suit me for a son.in-law, l don't let
him make many calls before l give
him to understand that he isn't want
ed around my house. tell the girls
too, that they shall not have any,
thing to do with him, and give them
orders never to speak to him again.
The plan always works first rate.
The young folks them begin to
pitch into each other, and the next
thing ! know they are engaged to be
married. When ! see they are de.
termined to marry always give in,
and pretend to make the best of it.
Now, neighbor, that's the way
manage"

How sad!

"Please state" said Thomas II,
Hendricks in a hoarse whisper to a
reporter, Immediately on his arrival
at New York, "that my health is
superb. | feel ten years younger
than | did when boy, and my mus
Gle and appetite are simply enor-
NOUS" And now did you leave Mr..
Tilden?" said the reporter with con-
siderable interest. 'POor man, poor
mani" said Mr.. Hendricks, shaking
his head. Mere skin and bone, d
hectic flush, a horrid cough, and all
sorts of dreadful things. He may
live to get home; but he's fading
away, fading away"

The U. S. Patent office, took fir

The U. S. Patent Office, took fire
in the roof aud was partially de-
stroyed on Monday last, with con-
siderable collection of the relics and
models. Quite a sensation was pro-
duced in Washington. The first
account asserted that the fire was
the result of spontaneous combus-
ton. The models were the accumu.
lation of many years, and 50 numer
ous had they become, that anything
like order in their arrangement or
practical usefulness in their possess
ion was more matters of fancy than
fact. Drawings of most of these
models have been made, and have
probably been stored out Of the rage
of fire. These will probably meet
every want. So that the destruc
ton will not be felt very seriously.
How such AN accumulation of these
old traps from year, to year should
be provided for as time moves on,
it is not easy to conjecture. 1t is
numbering business, that must sOon-
er or later come to an end. Per
haDs this destruction will sharpen
the wits of the patent officials, and
set them to thinking up some mode
of dispensing with the old relics
and models, that already require
building covering more than four
acres of area, and sundry stories in
height to house them. If says the
Leader this loss shall result IN the
adoption of some such laws as are III
force in England and on this Cont
nent, and lead examiners to consider
the knowledge of the art instead of
the records and models Oh file in
granting patents. this apparent loss
may prove in the long run to have
been a great gain. But what shall
we do but mourn if General Wash
ington's small clothes and old crock
cry have been destroyed?

There is no law against a mans
making a fool of himself if he wants
to, and it is not little surprising how
many there are to take advantage of
this license. Those who propose to
substitute a council of state for the
executive officer of President, con-
slsting OF seven secretaries, each with
independent action in his own de-
partment-four to be elected by the
House, and three by the Senate, and
all to hold Office at the pleasure of
the eIecting body, properly comes
under this category. The PROPOSE
tion looks so crude and crazy, as
hardly to be worthy of notice, and
yet in the face of that arranged by
congress for the choice of President
in the face of constitutional proyi-
sions, seems to admonish US, that any
move, having for its object, the con-
centration of power in congress, may
as well be watched. If congress may
provide an electoral tribunal, and de-
clare who may be president, why may
it not, by very slight advance of
power, substitute an executive tribu-
nal that shall, as proposed, elbow the
president out of the way, and fill his
place with creatures of congressional
creation? The concentration of
power in the popular assembly, is
quite as much to be feared as the as
sumption of powers by an executive.
as both France and England have
reason to know.

-urrn OK THE STAND.


Tweed's testimony is making about the
havoc among the great and small politicians
Of the city that charge of bird shot does
among flock Of pigeons at short range,
The old man is very frank, and speaks OF
his operations without reserve. He has no
sdueamishness about names. The cause o.
the fight of Oakley Hall is no longer q
mystery, for Tweed implicates him III 'iie
robberies, and it was the dread 'la' NJ
would make = full confession that lmpelled
Hall to iump the country. And then there
az ror.eI of Republican officials who are
imnIicated. and any quantity of Democrats,
Who were distinguished for the feryency OF
-. 5spunciation of the old man,-after
h. fell into disgrace. In fact, it seems that
49, who were the most fervent in denoun-
cling him were, as rule, the most guilty.
of course they all deny, and every one OF
those whom Tweed has implicated has his
document all ready to prove his innocence,
but it won't do. They can't account for the
houses they live in, and carriages they ride
in, the yachts they sail, or the money that
pays for all these things. These fortunes
are too large for honest accumulation, and
no one in New York doubts that Tweed has
told straight, unvarnished, and true story
The old man seems determined to go clear
through it, whether it does him any gooH
or not.

RAPID TRANSIT.


Thanh heaven there are courts to which
the people may appeal, against the monop-
olists The means of going up and down
town are and have been for years, sham
fuIIy insufficient. Night and morning the
cars on the lines north and south would be
crowded: hundreds and thousands Of weary
people On them unable to get seats, and the
platforms jammed with people hanging on
in all sorts of shapes; then to get to any
part of the city where rents are within the
reach of laboring mans income, required
a full hour of time-two hours each day
which is an enormous per cent. Of what is
better than money taken for nothing.
Companies were organized to build eleva-
ted railroads the whole length of the Island,
and one of them, under charter granted
by the Legislature. did build about mile
of a road. Then the horse-car companies
interfered. for the mine was too rich to be
given up. They got out injunctions on
the elevated people, and every possible
method of retarding the work was reSorted
to. Yesterday the final decision was had,
and it was against the monOpolists. New
York will now have rapid transit. The ell
evated roads are simply platforms suppor-
ted by strong pillars, on which narrow
gauge tracks are laid. The cars are long,
with seat running lengthwise on each
side, each holding perhaps sixty passen-
gers. The engines are small and noiseless,
and the rate of speed is twenty miles an
hour. As the tracks are up to the level Of
the second story, and are used only for the
cars, there can be no danger whatever on
them. The work on the Gilbert will be
pushed to completion at once, and it is ex-
pected by the time winter sets in we shall
haYe two lines running the whole length of
the Island. This will do more for New
York than any one thing that has happen
ed for years, for it will relieve the pressure
on the over-crowded lower part of the city,
and give the poor better and cheaper homes
in the upper part.
