At Youngstown, Ohio, 4 young
man and a yonng lady have made
bet. A local paper says The girl
being Til,len man, aud her lover Il
Hayes man, she made the following
proposition, which was perfectly
legitimate, this being leap year: Ii
Tilden was elected, the young man
was Ia marry the girl. II Hayes
WAS elected, the girl Was 10 marry
the young man.. The couple are in
a terrihla state of suspense. Every
night they each get IA daily paper
sustaining their political belief, and
compare notes. Tncy canot decide
who is to marry which. 1t appears
To be very complicated case on the
face of the returns. OF course she
will marry him.

came 10 piece Of "tlue writing, f"
in which the ear of the heroine was
compared tO ''snme creamy white.

the way" said Lhe husband, cutting
short his reading, THAT description
of the ear reminSs me Of your ear :
you have an ear like n SHE'LL" 1t
was the first compliment she had re-
celved since the early days of their
marriage, and blush 0f pride suffusnd
her face. as she asked what Kind
of a shell, darling - An abolone
shell. . he replied. She had never
before heard nor seen an ahoIone,
but she did not want to display her
ignorance, so she made up her mind
to hunt il up in the Condensed
Conchologv'' that ornamented the
center table. Next mcrning the
first thing she did after her husband
had left the house was to hunt np
the description of an aDolme shell.
She found it. IL Was described rs
she'll about the size of an ordinary
wagon wheel. She nursed her wrath
till night, when she met him at the
door with the trwel roller, and now.
his car is as big as an abnlnne she'll,
but it looks like a piece of pounded

A School Boy ON Corns.

Corns OF all kinds-vegetable corn
grows in rows, and animal corn
grows on toes. There are several
kinds Of corn |; there is the unicorn,
capricorn, corn dodgers, field corn,
and the corn which is the corn you
feel the most. 1t is said, believe,
that gophers like corn, hut persons
having cornS do not like To ''gO fur"
if they can help it. Corps have ker-
nels, and some colonrls have corns.
Vegetable corn grows OH ears,
but animal corn grows on feet at
the other end Of the body. Another
kind of corn is the acorn these
grow on oaks, but the AXE corn on
the feet there is no hoax about it.
The acorn in corn with an indpfi-
mite article added. Try it and ser.
Many a man when he has corn
wishes it was an acorn. Folks that
have corns sometimes send for q
doctor, and if the doctor himself ia
corned he probably won'1 do IS we'll
as il he isn't. The doctor says
corns are produced by tite boots and
shoes which is probably the reason
why whea a man is tite they say he
is cOrned. II a farmer manages well
he can get Il good deal Of corn Oh an
acre, bnt | know of a farmer that
has one corn that makes the biggest
acher OH his farm. The bigger crop
OF vegetable corn n man raises the
better he likes it; but the bigger
crop Of animal corn he raises the
better he does not like it. Another
kind of corn is thecorn tiodger. The
way it is made is very simple, and is
as followS-that is if you want to
know You go along the street anu
meet a man yOu know has corn,
and a rough character |; then step
on the toe that has corn on it, and
see if you don't have occasion to
dodge. In that way you will find
out what corn dodger is.-Hart-
fdrd Post.

Ono.can hardly realize that there
is daily average of II, 600 or L.. 900
dead letters or about 400, 900 a
month. Allowing one person to a
letter, there are 100000 persons
every month who undertake to send
letters either without stamps, with
out addresses, or with Cancelled
stamps, insufficient postage, or lille
gible or incorrect addresses. Many
OF them are without either stamp or
address, and often with no sigma
ture which gives the slightest clew
TO persons sending them. There are
-4l91.gUJ a months received that either
lick postage or addresses, or else
have insufficient or Cancelled stamps,
and, strange as it May seem, these
are sometimes the most valuable let
tors. often containing currency or
drafts for large amounts of money.
1t is estir1ateI that there is about
81, ,0e0, 600 IN drafts ard So, 900 in
cast received yearly through dead
letters. This is all returned, if pos
sible, to persons sending it /; but If
any portion of it fails TO find clai-
mant. it is turned over to the post
Office fund.
Yely little difficulty is experienced
in restoring the checks ard drafts to
the righ.ful owners, but the. money
generally comes in small sums, ard
is usually sent IN the most careless,
haphszird fashion. AMI the loss Of
these small sums, by the ignorance
or care.ess:less with which they are
launched upon journey, represents
a deal of suffering and disappoint-

is her All.
IL is yeiy amusing TO see letters

There is a constant buying and
selling of farms going on from year
10 wear in our country. The rest
lessness on the part Of the farmer,
and this desire to change present
location for another one, hundreds
cf miles OFF, is so frequently witness
cd in our day that we cease 10 Won
der at it. In the time of our fore
fathers, when man was settled on
Alarm he commonly continued on
it through life, and then left it for
his son. In times gone by the same
farm that was first occupied by the
grandfather, and so on by the son
aud grandson. Then the good old
homestead was reverencsd and the
occupancy of 1t was esteemed
great privilege. There was satis-
faction felt by the successor that his
predecessor was his relative, culti-
waited the same iiells, wandered by
the same brooks, traversed the same
hills, and ate of the fruit Of the
same orchard. Then there WAS
home feeling, hons associations,
and home attachments Now the
farmer looks more to his pecuniary
gains, and when offered a large price
FOR his lan1, hesitates not to sell.
Tie quits his beautiful home, his
well-cultivated acres, emigrating TO
The far West. and commences life
OF hardship that he never dreamed
OF 1t can safely be said that where
one man succeeds in this undertak-
ing, many fail. If he could only
sell his new farm. how gladly would |
Tvs HE back to the old home, now
occupied by strangers, and the en-
closure contains the graves of his
kindred going to ruin. With the |
advent of spring many will dispose
OF their farms and remove TO far
OF country to undergo the priya-s
lions aud troubles incident upon es-
tlblishing home in new country.
Our advice il to remain where you
are. If you are comfortably of. be
content to remain so. Do not ex-
change a certainty for an uncertain
ty, unless powerful reasons are
brought to bear upon you to seek a
new settlement in q distant region.

The Sioux rs Cavalry.

Gen. Crook Is not disposed to be-
little the foes whom. he has been
fighting siuce last spring. He thinks
that an Indian warrior makes the
best cayalryman in the world, and
he is und-abtcdly right. In his an
nltal report lie says : When the
Sioux Indian was armed with bow
andarrow. he was more formidable,
fighting as he does most of the tune
OH horseback, than when he got the
old fashioned muGzle loading rifle.
/. But when he came into possession
of the breech loader aud metallic
cartridge, which allows him TO load
and fire from his horse with perfect
ease, he became at ones ten thous-
and times more formidable. With
the improvrd arms have seen our
friendly Indians, riding at full speed,
shoot and kill 4 wolf, also OIL the
run, while it is a rare. thing that our
troops can Shitan Indian on horse
back, though the soldier may be on
his feet at the time. The Sioux is IA
cavalry soldier from the time he has
Intelligence enough to ideE horse
or fire Il gun. IL he wishes to dis
mount, his hardy pony, educated by
loEg usage, will Craze around near
where he has been left, ready when
his master wants TO mount either to
move forward or escape. Even with
their lodges and families they can
move at tne Tate Of fifty smiies per
day. They are perfectly familiar
with the country, have their spies
and hunting parties out all the time
ut distances of from twenty tn fifty
miles each way from their villages,
know the number and movement Of
all troops that mIy be operating
against them, just Alb put what they
can probably dn, and hence can
cho0ae their own times and places of
confiict or avoid it altogether.
