BUSINESS NOTICE.

AN ANEcDoTE on Mrs. UAYrs.-The
simplicity of manners which makes Gov.
Hayes and his family so popular with the
people is we'll illustrated by an incident
that occurred in 1868. Hayes was then
in camp with his regiment at Charles
town, West Virginia. While there,
Mrs. Hayes visited her husband, and
made short soiourn in camp.
Jomcs Parker, of Mesopotamio, Trum-
bujl county, was good naturcd, jolly
hoy" in one Of the companies of Hayes
regiment. Soon after Mrs. Hayes arri.
val, and before it was known to all the
boys, Parker was expressing his regret to
some OF his comrades that there was no
one to mend his blouse and put pockets
in it. One of them replied "Why,
jim, why don't you take il to the woman
who does the sewing for the regiment,
and got her to fix it ?" "pidn't know
there was such woman. Whereis she?"
asked Parker. "She's mp in the Colo
nel's tent" said his comrode, "and il
you'li take your blouse up there she'll
mend it for you that's what she's here
/ for"
The unsophisticated Parker at once
started for the Colone's tent blouse in
hand. Col, Hayes politely returned his
salute, invited him in, and inquired what
he wanted. lie replied that he wanted
his blouse mended and pockets PUT in it,
and that he understood there was a wo-
man there to do sewing ior the regiment.
| The Colonel took in the situation at once.
With merry twinkle in his eyes, he
called to Mrs. Hayes asked hor if .he could
fix the soldiers blouse. She promptly
accepted the job, and told Parker to cal
for it in the afternoon.
When Parker returned to his comrades
they were looking out for some fun
"Whore's your blouse ?" they asked
"Why, ! left IL with the woman to beGx
od '..said Parker. And whcn in answer
to their further questoning, he told them
how the Colonel received him, and how
kindly the woman undertook the Job o
fixing his blouse, the boys could hardly
tell whether the joke WAS on Jim or on
themselves. And when, later in the day
Parker appeared with his blouse neatly
mended and two ample pockets in it, he
was the hero of the company.

WORK IN 0LDEN TIMES.

Half century ago bellows making was a
thriving trade. Every house had its pair
of bellows, and in every well furnished
mansion they wero hung 10y the side of
every fireplace. Ipswich in Massachu-
sotts, acquired quite notorety all over
New England for the elegant and sub
stantial articles of the kind it produced.
But as stoves'an CRATES took the place
of open llre-paeos, and MS coal was sub
stituted for wood, the domand for bellows
diminished until the business as IL scpa-
rate trade quite died out The same is
true of dint cutting. Flints were once
necessary, not only for firearms, but for
tiuder boxes, and a under box was as NO
cessary for every house rs gridiroE or n
skillet. Every one who looks back to
childhood Of forty odd years ago must re.
member tho cold winter mornings, wheE
the persistent crack of the llint against
tho hard steel sent up from the kitchen
an ordor of igniting tinder and sulphur,
which pervaded the house. | have no

BLUE GLAss.-Gen. A. j. Pleasanton
has written a long letter in the Chicago
117Juae on the wonders Of blue ela.-.
The glass which be uses is of q darl, blue,
the color being derived from a prepara-
ton Of cobalt which is fused in the pot
with the other ingredients. It is import
cd from France, and costs four times as
much as American glass. He gives in
this letter his personal experience as to
the curative powers Of blue and sunlight
baths. In October last he met with a
very serious accident in alightng from a
wagon in Philadelphia. His physician
said that there had been no fracture ofthe
bones or ribs, but that be would suffer a
long time from the effects of the shock
and fall. Liniment and plasters afforded
no relief, lie resolved to try blue glass
"In my bath room," he says. 81 have a
window with southern exposure, ar
ranged with alternate pancs Of blue and
plain transparent glass. Uncovering my
back, / sat with my back to the blue and
sun lights which We're streaming through
the window into the bathroom. As
soon as these lights began to fall upon my
back the pains began to diminish, and
at the end of half an hour they had Gems
ed altogether. Toward evening the pains
returned, but they were much less than
they bad been before | had taken the
blue-light bath, and during the nghtI was
easier than had been previously. The
next day took another bath of blue and
sun lights, which effectually relieved me
Of every pain, and since then, now about
three months, have not had the slight
est pain or sensitveness in the parts af-
facted-three consecutive sun and blue
light baths having completely removed
every i'll effect Of my most serious acct

A TEXANS WoNDERFuL TRAcEs.-A
Texan, visiting this point, gathered
around him somo of our citizens, on Mon
day, and entertained them with some Of
his oxperonces in tho Lone Star State.
One incident told by him is as follows
"You'd. d.hardly believe, now, what |
am going to tell you. Ia Texas wo use
raw-hido straps, or thongs, for traces,
and ia wet weather they do stretch
amazingly. Often in damp woathor at
home We hitcned two horses and drove
down the bill from my house into the
creek bottom for sled load Of wood. /
have loaded the wood and many times
driven back home and unhilched the
horses aud tho sled would not be in
sight -
'llow did you get tho wood homo
then ?" asked an inquisitve bystander.
"Oh, just tied the ends Of tho traces
together and threw them over post,
went knocking about my work and wait.
cd till the sun shone out Sometimes it
would be- more than two hours before the
sled load Of wood would get home, but
you'd SEQ her crawling up the bin at last,
gradually approaching MS the raw-hde
traces shrunk up into their proper length.
Yes, Texas is great country, you bet"

SUSAN SHRocK had the reputation in
Prncetown KY, Of being a wonderfully
trustworthy fortune teller. She was not
an old hag, according to custom, but
rather young and pretty. She predicted
that G. Lewis Ilollingsworth would meet
death at the hands Of unknown men on
the Highway, and that his horse would
return home alone, and his body would
never be found. 4 few days ago he start
ed on horseback journey, and soon the
horse came back riderless. His wife was
grief stricken until she learned that Susan
had also disappeared, and that her hus-
band had taken his best clothes and all
the money he could accumulate Now
she is searching for his body, but she ex-
poets to find it alive, near by Susan.

was told to sit down and learn a verse in

LOCAL MATTERS.

THE PosT-O T-OFFICE-CoLoNEL FORBES
BACK IN THE CITY.-Colonel Forbes, the
postmaster-elect, returned to the city from
Washington last night.
Mr.. Jefferds and Mr.. Pelouze came on
the same train.
Colonel Forbes will qualify and enter
upon the duties OF his office in about week
or ten days. He desires first to settle his
accounts as register, and to thoroughly fix
up the business Of that position before en-
tering upon the work Of postmaster. Miss
Van Lew, 200, has to have balancing Of
accounts, but that will only require day or
two.
Colonel Forbes is beset by applicants for
places under him. There are only three or
four to be given away in the beginning OF
his administration, and for each Of these
there are hundred persons desirous OF
being appointed. He has made few COM
initials. In reply to q request OF influential
parties in Washington that he would pro-
vide for very worthy lady he could only
say that he would see what could be done
after he had made calm survey OF the office.
The name OF Thomas S. Atkins, Esq,
has been forwarded to Chief-Justicc Waite
for appointment to the position OF register
in bankruptcy, to be made vacant by the
promotion, or rather resignation, OF Colonel
Forbes. hIr. Atkins is considered the very
man for register. He knows well all the
duties of the Office, is polite and accom-
plished, and is recommended by the court
and bar and citizens generally. In fact, as
to his appointment, no dissenting voice is
heard
