Eating Corn With Both
Hands.

The Keokuk Constitution says
There is a gentleman boarding
at one of our hotels who is ex-
fond of green corn,
and manages to get away with Q
goodly quantitys every day at
dinner. Saturday at the dinner
hour a countryman entered the
dining-room and seated himself
opposite the gentleman referred
to. On the latter's plate were
three ears of corn, and around it
were FIVE or six cobs on which
the corn ance had been, but now
was not. In his hand was an
other which was fast being strip
ped. The countryman gazed on
the debris, on the corn on the
plate and on the corn in the
hand, and then, leaning his ell
bows on the table and placing
his chin between his hands. said:
Stranger, when they change You
loft to oats how many quarts does
| 1t take for q feed ?? Awful pause,
after which the corn-fed gentle
man impaled the countryman on
his fork.

An Indian Panic at Lewiston.

PORTLAND, Ogn, July Ii
The Investigating Committee held a
long session to-day, and a large num-
Der of witnesses were examined. Most
of the evidence adduced was of an i'm
material character. A number of wit
nesses testified that so far as they had
knowledge, Goldsmith vas in embar-
raised circumstances at the time Of the
election and did not use any money in
securing the election of Mr.. Grover.

Legislature, testified that I'm a CONVEX

yes. He then said: Do you know
where three Republicans could be
found 20 vote for Grover for 5000. l
told him, no, sir, and l don't want to-
know, OF have anything to do with

ton.
Dispatches arrived In Lewiston on
Sunday evening indicating much

Darwin leaves 1t, has its very roots In
Uniformitarianism." The concluding
points of Mr.. Kings magnificent lee
ture are as follows:
Times change; around the new tenn
ple of evolution the proudest orna-
ment is that strange procession OF fos-
sill horse skeletons, among whose
captivating spliut-bones n general
anatomy NAV be deserted the profiles
of Huxley and Marsh. Those two
authorities, whose knowledge we may
not DISPUTE, assert that the American
p~epealoyy Of the horse Is the most
perfect demonstrative proof of deriva-
live genesis ever presented. Descent

laws are utterly silent as TO what the
cause OF the evolution may have been.
/ have studied the country from
which these bones came, and am able
to make this suggestive geological
commentary. Between each W sue
cessive forms of the horse there was a
catastrophe which seriously altered
the climate and configuration of
the whole region in which these
animels lived. Huxley and Marsh
assert that the bones prove de-
SCENT. My own work proves that
each new modification succeeded a ca
tastrophe. And the almost UNIVERSAL
ty of such condolences is to my mind
warrant for the anticipation that not
very far in the future 1t may be seen
that the evolution of the environment
has been the major cause of the evolu-
ton of life; that q mere Malthusian
struggle was not the author and fin
Usher Of evolution; but that He who
brought to bear that mysterious energy
We call life upon primeval matter. be-
slowed at the same time a power or
development by change, arranging
that the interaclion OF energy and mat
ter that make up environment should,
from time to time, burst in upon the
current of life and sweep it onward and
upward to even higher and better
manifestations. Moments of great ca
tastrophe, thus translated into the Ian
guage Of life, become moments of ere
alton, when out of plastic organisms
something newer and nobler is called
into being.

AsvoRD 70 FARMERS.

Allthe indications ofthe present day are
that within less than thirty days the decla-
ration Of war will have been made in
Europe, and all the principal powers Of that
continent will be engaged in the struggle.
Indeed, it Is almost impossible to adjust the
Eastern question without conflict, which
must begin soon, and is destined to conyulse
the whole of Europe and paralyze its bust
ness energies.
In the event of such strife, America will
in great 1,easure become the source OF
supply to the necessities of several Of those
countries. They will need our manufac-
tures; will purchase our firearms and ANU
nition, but, most Of all, will have to obtain
their bread and meat, to large extent, from
America. The demand for cotton may be
very little or it may not be affected, but one
thing is sure war in Europe will greatly
advance the price of corn. flour and meat.
Our people should prepare for this contin-
gency by planting an abundance Of corn to
supply them until another crop is made.
Indeed, the raising of corn and meat will be
more profitable than cotton if 3 general war
occurs, as is now most likely. We have not
written this article for sensation, but for the
purpose of letting our people know the
present business outlook, and every one can
act as his own judgment dictates.

of Prof. W. J. Ligon on Thursday last, in
attendance upon charming musical soiree,
given by Mrs. Pinkind, the accomplished
and excellent instructress of music in the
Carolina Collegiate Institute, for the purpose
of exhibiting to the patrons Of the school
the progress made by her pupils in their
study of music. The programme for the
evening was extensive and varied, embrac-
ing instrumental and vocal music, duets,
violin accompaniment, &C., which was cred
table alike to the teacher and her scholars.
The performance. frequently elected ap-
plause from the audience present, which
was composed of about seyenty-fve ladies
and gentlemen. At the conclusion of the
music from scholars, Mrs. and Miss Pinkind,
by request, charmed those present by their
beautiful rendition of several fine pieces,
after which refreshments were partaken iof,
and the guests departed with q sense of
pleasure derived from musical feast, for
which they yere indebted to Prof. Ligon
and Mrs. Pinkind.

Mr.. Di0geneg.

This singular man lived in Greece. He
was distinguished for his eccentricities, bad
manners, and bad disposition. 1t was his
chief business to find fault. For example,
he took lantern one day when the sun was
shining brightly and went out to search for
an honest man, thereby insinuating that
such persons were exceedingly scarce. When
Alexander, distinguished military gentle
man, paid him a visit, and inquired what he
could do for him, he had the impudence to
tell him to "get out of his sunshine" To
cap the climax of his oddities, he dressed
like beggar and lived in tub! He was
sour, Grabbed, crusty old bachelor. We in
fer that he had no wife, first, because history
does not mention her; second because no
woman would take kindly to one OF his
habits, dress, or manners, or aspire 10 De-
come mistress of his mansion. There was
an old woman who lived in shot" j" it IS
true but the woman who would live in
tub, and especially with such a companion,
has not been heard from. The emlsanthroplc
spirit which possessed this man was doubt
less due to disordered digestion and bill
iousness, one of the prominent symptoms
of which is morose, fault.fnding dispose
rise to q bad taste, the appetite is not good,
the patient feels dull, sleepy or dizzy, and
is apt to be fretful. Unfortunately, Mr..
Diogenes lived several centuries before DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets were in
vented, few doses of which would have
relieved him of his "bile," and enabled him
to find scores of "honest men" without the
aid of his lantern. Under their magic in
fluence, combined with that of the Golden
Medical Discovery, to cleanse his blood, ne
might have been led to take more cheerful
view of life, to exchange his tub for q decent
habitation to "spruce up'' in personal ap-
pearance, and at last have taken wife to
mend his clothes and his manners, both OF
which were in evident need of repairs, and
become the happy sire of little Diogenesses
who would have handed down to posterity
the name, not of cynic philosopher, but OF
q cheerful, healthy, happy, virtuous man!
