until consigned to their places on file
with the others These hard times
are the dreary clouds of our home
skies. But sunny days will not al
ways last, and when prosperity grows
dim, the best thing for us to do is to
learn to make use of the blessings that
are bestowed upon us. FEnjoy what
you have' is a good motto, that ought
now to be practiced in our pleasant
country homes-pleasant, although we
feel keenly sometimes the absence of
many-wished-fo luxuries. So select
my evenings reading, feeling that
have purchased an hour Of enjoyment
in this way, by my afternoons study,
and repair to the sitting-room, where,
after short chat, I don my kitchen
apron, and am ready to perform the
Office of singing milkmaid and jovial
Bridget. By the time the evenings 8
work is finished and supper waiting on
the table, have quite forgotten my
dreary musings, because in visiting
cellar and pantry I see evidence of the
abundance of food with which country
people are supplied, and thus conclude
that we ought to be content. If we
strive to keep merry heart, sunshine
enough will CLEAN through the lower
ing mists of "hard times" With
pleasant words and happy faces we
find it easy to forget the dreariness
without, when all is cheerfulness
within.

A Blue-Glass Man.

He was a blue.glass man. He had
read about blue glass, and believed in
it, and was determined to be the
healthiest individual in the town.
"Have ye any blue glass strips for
winders!' inquired he as he crushed in
to glazing shop. ''We have, sir, !"
was the cheerful reply; "just the thing
as recommended by the Pleasonton
theory 'Wall, then,'' said Bluey,
'1'll take enough for four winders.'
He paid the money and departed,
while the glacier chuckled, "GOOd
thing for us fellows, the blue.glass
craziness." Bluey kept on. He went
into an opticians and bought pair
of blue goggles to wear on his eyes.
He dropped into a hat store and or
dered a little round piece of blue glass
put in the top of his hat in place of
the usual tin ventilator. He then par
took of a dinner of blue fish at a res
taurant with a blue skylight, dipped
his fingers into blue-glass fnger-bowl
and refused to drink anything until
the waiter hunted him up mug with
a blue.glass bottom. The day was now
far spent, and going home in a blue
light street car, the blue-glass man,
meeting his children at the door, re-.
fused to kiss any but those having blue
eyes, sat down in blue chair to read
copy of the Blue Laws of Connecticut
and got into such a fit of the blues,
that he took some blue ink, and, writ
ing in his will that at his death the
glass in his coffin should be blue glass
and his monument made of blue gran
ite, no grabbed a revolver and blew
out his brains.

RECORD OF THE NEWS.

Stanley Mathews Writes to Packard.
Stanley Matthews a prominent Ohio
Republican and brother-in-law OF President
Hayes, has written letter to Packard of Lou
isiana, and says:
Without reference to the rightfulness Of
the origin of your title as Governor, I am Of
the opinion that it would be out Of the ques-
tion for Republican administration to sustain
it, as it must necessarily force the use Of fed
eral arms. As soon as the existing military
orders are withdrawn, the Nichols govern
ment will become the only existing govern
ment and will have to be recognized then as
such.
Packard very emphatically announces his
determination to stick, and concludes his let
ter as follows:
Personally my position here ha. been, and
will be, until the general government see tit
to recognize my authority as Governor, a most
perilous one, and It would be source of sat-
istaction did the responsibility rest upon some
one other than myself. Tire hundreds of Re-
publicans who have given their lives as sac
rifice to the cause Of liberty and free govern
ment, the thousands who have deposited votes
at the peril of life, are ever present in my
mind, and demand that faithfully discharge
the duties deyolved upon me. Should ex-
hibit less devotion than these faithful people,
though the effort cost my lite, still that devo-
ton would be better heritage to my child
rem than the plaudits OF the White League OF
the State, when gained by a surrender Of both
manhood and duty. l am the Governor, and
TO armed force or violence can give my COM
petitor lawful title

How Il Pig Became q Horse.

A lady, who had several grown sons
and daughters, told me that when her
first-born was very young baby gen.
tleman gave him half a dollar. Sue
told her husband that she would, wi Ch
that, provide the little fellow a holse
to ride by the time he was twenty-one
years of age.
With the half.dollar she bought a
pig. She fed the pig with such scraps,
etc., from the kitchen as would othel
wise have been thrown away, for she
had determined that her husband
should not incur any expense in the
plan which she had adopted to get the
horse. In about twelve months, when
the pig had become large enough to be
fattened for pork, she bought eight
bushels of corn. promising the nei gh-
Dor of whom she bought it that she
would pay him when she had killed
and sold the hog. So in a Few months,
the animal had reached such size
that he brought about fourteen del.
lars.
With part of this fourteen dollars
she bought calf, using the balance
of the money to pay her husband
all expenses of keeping the cali, ex-
cept the grass which it ate in the
fields.
In the course of two or three years
the calf had grown so we'll that it
brought thirty-fve dollars.
This amount, after paying all ex-
penses not heretofore paid, was quite
sufficient for the purchase of colt,
almost ready to be put under the sad-
die; and by the time her little boy
was six years old his horse was ready
for him, but he was not quite large
enough to take ride.
Some Of our young readers can act
on this hint for themselves. A ten
year-old farmer-boy, may if he will,
turn pig Tor something else, perhaps
lamb,) into a horse before he is sew

Murder in Chicago.

Stephen S. Jones, editor of the Re-

lie, Chicago, was shot in his Office Thursday
afternoon, by DR.. w. C. Pike, who imme-
diately gave himself up. Jones lives with his
family at St. Charles, ILL.,; is IS years old
and reported wealthy. tappears Pike and
his wife have been roeming in Jones' build
ng this winter, without paying rent, and it is
surmised this may have caused the trouble.
Pike alleges as reason for the killing that
Jones seduced his wife, and he produces a
confession signed by his wife to that effect.
Mrs. Pike confirms her husbands story, but
friends OF the diseased declare that he was
incapable Of the alleged crime. All parties
are Spiritualists, and the affair causes con-
siderable excitement. Pike was held with

Extra Session of the Senate.

The open session of the Senate On the
18th lasted but few minutes and was wholly
unimportant.
In the Senate session on the 18th it
was voted to return the 81, 900 kilograms OBJ
tanned from the Western Union Company by
Morton's committee. A resolution was adopt
ed informing the President that the Senate
was ready to adjourn unless he had further
communications to make.
In the Senate on the 18th and 10th
nothing was done but confirm appointments.
A resolution was adopted to adjourn sine die
ON the 18th.
The Senate had a long discussion on
the 18th relative to sending q special commit
tee OF three to Oregon during the recess to in
vestigate Senator Grover. It was finally vo-
ted by SO to to appoint the committee and
Senators Morton, Mcmillan, and Salisbury
were appointed. Fred Douglass was con.
irmed as Marshal for the District Of Colum-
bia and the Senate adjourned sine die.

Browns Matrimonial Method,

"Br0wn, I don't see how it is that
your girls always marry off as soon as
they get old enough, while none Of mine
can marry
''Oh, that is easy enough. marry
my girls off on the buckwheat- straw
principle"
"But what is that principle? l never
heard of it BEFORE"
"Well l Used to raise good del of
buckwheat, and it puzzled me to know
how to get rid of the straw. Nothing
would eat it, and it was great bother
to me. At last I thought of plan.
stacked my buckwheat straw nicely
and built nice high rail fence around
it. My cattle, of course, concluded
that it was something good, and at once
tore down the fence and began to eat
the straw. dogged them away and
put up the fence few times, but the
more I drove them away the more
anxious they became to eat the straw.
After this had been repeated a. few
times the cattle determined to eat the
straw, and eat it they did, every bit of
it. AS Isaid, I marry my girls off on
oAO o.tAAO PA41CApAOs " ACA q yOuuS
man l don't like begins calling on my
girls, I encourage him in every way
can. I tell him to come often and stay
as late as he p!eases, and l take pains
to hint to the girls that I think
they'd better set their caps for
him. 1t works frst-rale. He
don't make many calls, for the
girls treat him as coo)ly as they
can. But when young fellow that I
like comes around, a man that I think
would suit me for a son-in-law, I don't
let him make many calls before give
him to understand that he isn's want
ed around my house. I tell the girls,
too, that they shall have nothing to do
with him, and give them orders never
to speak to him again. The plan al
ways works 6rst-rate. The young folks
begin to pity each other, and the first
thing I know they are engaged to be
married. When I see they are deter.
mined to marry, I always give in, and
pretend to make the best of it. That's
the way I manage it.

The President Tells Col0rcd Man His Policy,

Judge Nj. W. Gibbs, colored, of Ar
kansas, elector at large on the Republican
ticket, had an interview with the President
Saturday afternoon. In the course of the con-
versation Judge Gibbs remarked that the
nomination of Mr.. Key as Postmaster General
has excited some alarm among the colored
people. But it was Offset by the nomination
ofMr. Douglass, and he assured the President
the colsred people intended to support him in
his measures OF reconciliation. Judge Gibbs
says the President remarked in reply that he
was sincere in his policy and would adhere
to it unless it should prove impracticable
For eight years the policy of force and the
musket had been tried in the South, but it
had failed, and public sentiment now de-
manded change.
