Nothing better illustrates the
folly and extravaganza Of the times
we have 40 recently passed through
than the little incident related us Q
day or two since by a friend. Be-
ing in New York, and desirous of
purchasing set of furs for his wife.
he inquired the price OF a beauti-
ful set on exhibition on Broadway,
"One thousand dollars" responded
our Orange county friend, who had
only fifty dollars in his pocket to
invest, "have you no higher priced
ones than thesei" Upon being an
swered in the negative, the Orange
county man replied: "Then I'll go
and shoot my wife as good set Of
mink skins on the Waikiki as these,
and sell them for thirty dollars" |"
and he did.

A Scene In n RaiIrond Car.

The following laughable incident,
told by well known government
offce-holder who has nothing else
to do but ride on the cars, and as
he rides free has numerous tales to
tell of his observations and exper-
ience:
"There were two seats In the
car turned so as to face each other.
One was occupied by lady and
the other by Chinaman. Evident
ly the lady did not relish the pre-
sence of the Chinamsn. She ex-
planned to him that she wanted to
take the cushions and their frames
and place them lengthwise across
from seat to seat. John said 'all
rightee,' and he got out into the
aisle while she proceeded to lie
down on the bed thus improvised.
with her head resting on her valise.
She supposed that the Chinaman
would take the hint that the LADY
wanted to rest in the space usually
occupied by four persons. But
John at once proceeded to crawl
in and stretch himself by her side
with his head on little bundle of
his own. The Chinese are an imi-
tative race, and like to do as others
do, you know. The lady, as soon
as she discovered that she had
bed fellow, got up a little wildly
and started for the next car, to the
great amusement of the passengers,
who had been watching the little
scene with some interest. John
took no notice of the fun he had
created, but went to sleep with the
whole bed to himself"

And will take them safe TO land.

And place to their lips the cool draughts

And the devils pocket with wealth they hll,
While children are calling for bread.

And leave their families in pain,

As good husbands and fathers again.

Before they sink down too low;

And may the imbidor stop short of the plot

Speaking Of education, Sydney
Smith said:
"Never teach false morality
How eIquisitely absurd to tell girls
that beauty is of no value, dress Of
no use. Beauty is of value 4; her
whole prospects and happiness in
life may often depend upon new
grown or a becoming bonnet, and
il she has five grains of common
sense she will find this out. Tho
great thing is to teach her their
right value, and that there must be
something better under the bonnet
than a pretty face, If she would
have real happiness. But never
sacrifice truth"

"The closest run ever had in my

mine to me one day, "was once

Scotchman, by the name of Joe

everything about the machine, and

Joe had only one fault---I say
ouly one, and ! really believe that
his qualities were all virtues with
the exception of this one-he
drank. That is, he did not habit
ually drink to excess, but he was
overfond of his stimulants, and oc-
casionally would take SO much as
to make it extremely hard for him
not to deviate from straight path.
l remember one morning in the
early part of June, some children,
with whom we were acquainted by
sight, stood on the top of a STEEP
grade, and as we slowly passed
they threw on the engine large
and really handsome bouquet, with
a note attached, donating the Aow.

his thanks, and then thrust his
Roman nose into the posies, vora'

under his seat until just as we wer

ELECTIONS.
States that are to vote this Fall

States that arc to vote this EaIl.
Kentucky will hold the first State cleo
ton on August E. A Governor and other
State officers and a Legislature will be
elected. The main interest centers in
the election of Legislators, who will
choose successor to Senator McCreery,
whose term expires in 1879. OF course a
Democrat will be elected, and the main
issue is whether McCreery will succeed
himself. Next follows Vermont, where
the people will vote for State officers on
the 4th Of September. On the 10th Of
the same month Maine will elect State
officers and Legislature. September s,
California will elect Governor and Leg
islature. The present Governor, Irwin,
Democrat, was elected by a majority Of
435 over both the Republican and Inde-
pendent parties. The Legislature to be
elected will select a successor to Senator
Sargent, whose term expires in 1879. =
On the second Tuesdayy in October,
elections occur in Ohio and Iowa. In
both States Governors and Legislatures
areto bechosen. The Legislature elected
in the former, will also select Stanley
Mathews successor in the United States
Senate, although Mathews term, like
that of Sargent, does not expire until
1879.
The following table gives view of all
the elections to be held this yea:
