The modern old maid is round
and jolly, two dimples in her cheeks
and has laugh as musical as
bobolink's song. She wears nicely
fitting dresses and cunning little
ornaments about her plump throat,
and becoming little knots and bows.
She goes to concerts, and parties,
and lectures, and matinees, and
she don't go alone. She carries a
dainty parasol, and wears killing
bonnets, and has live poets and
philosophers in her train. In fact
the modern old maid is as good as
the modern young maid she has
sense and conversation as we'll as
dinples and curves, aud she has
bank-book and dividends.

TKorrlHG TEAM OF OxEN.-Dexter,
the farmer Of bovines, created quite q
sensation on The streets of Cheyenne
recently by appearing in carriage
drawn by foar milk white oxen, all in
harness and driven tandem. The gay
and festive animals pranced along in
fine style, heads up and tails risin'.'
Governor Thayer accepted an invita-
zion to take q ride, and was driven
about for some time by Dexter. Other
gentlemen also enjoyed the novelty.
Dexter says that either of ,he four
oxen can trot q mile in 3:47. He Offers
10 bet any amount Of money that he
can load a wagon with 1900 pounds
of freight, ATTACK his four oxen and
make better time from Cheyenne 10
Deadwood than any fUur,horse or

Ancient fraud? Was there ever
fraud like this a? In all previous ages
fraud has succeeded only because 1t
has been backed by the sword, and
protesting people have been powerless
IN resist the force Of armed battalions-
Never, before now in The history OF

The closing paragraphs of David d.
Fields argument in the Florida case,
before the Electoral Commission are
impressiyeIy eloquent. He said:
Such, Mr.. President and gentle
meu Of the Commission, Is as brief
statement as [ can make of the facts,
and The law as we understand them
to-day. The greatness Of the question
in respect to the dignity OF the Presi-
deniia! office, and the enormous inter-
ests depending upon Il, are as nothing
compared with the moral elements ILL.,
volved. True it is that the person to
whom You give your decision will be-
for four years Chief Magistrate Of
forty FIVE millions of people; will be
Commander III Chief Of you- army
and navy; the organ between you
aud all foreign States; the bestower
of all offices; the fountain of homer
and power, and the executor of your
law. Bat that is as nothing compar-
ed with the greater question, whether
or not the American people stand
powerless before mighty fraud. Here
is the certificate Holding 1t alott i'll
his handl. One feels almost reluctant
TO touch it. II is black with crime.
Pass it around, let every man see 1T
and then tell me whether or not that
certificate gives a title TO an office
contrary to truth, as We can prove II.

paImiest days of English literature,

The sound Of steps that, soon or late,
Shall come rs music 10 yCur ear;
Forget yourselves a little Willie,

OF women who VIII never smile
To hear "a coming step again.

Their babies lying il tie dust.

And all your soul = full Of light,
Oh, women. safe in happy homts,

How to Break Balky Horses.

Put on your harness and hitch him to
any thing you desire, either single or
double, as you feel disposed, and give
him the commanding word to go ahead.
If he goes you will have nothing to do
or say, but let him 90 on and do your
work; but if he refuses to go, take him
out Immediately, take all the harness
off except the bride, and take a small
rope the size of a plough-line and tie
one end to the bit on the right hand
side and pull it through the ring of the
left under the chop, pull his head
around to the left side, and slip the
rope under his tail like a crupper and
make it fast, keeping his head tolerably
close to his side. Now all is ready, so
let him go, and take q good long whip
and make him go, talking kindly to
him all the time. He will travel like a
dog after his tail, but after spell he
will fall down, when you will immedi-
ately let loose the rope and let him get
up; now talk kindly to him and caress
him. Your work is now half done, for
you have only to tie the rope to the
other side of the bit and pull his head
around the other way and make it fast
like a crupper, the same as before, and
start him off again, and let him go till
he falls second time; let him get up
Immediately and hitch him up, and you
will probably never have any more
trouble with him. - Kentucky Home
