year-old boy whom she could not con-

old man as he scratched his head.
Whats his worst f~eatnre?"
"Well, I can't keep him in nights"
she replied.
Cant, ell? And yon want to know
what I'd do if he was py boy?"
"Yes."
"Well I'll tell you, madam. In the
first place I'd order a carlsbad of rail
road iron. WheE I got it I'd lay the
boy on the floor on his back, and then
I'd pile the bars this way and that way,
and across and up and down till l had
fours tons holding him down, and then
I'd sit down on the top heap and ask
him if he felt like whooping around"
"But isn't railroad iron quite costly?'
she cautiously inquired.
"Well, it's q good deal cheaper than
it was, madam, but if you can't afford
to try that plan, why don't you get an
augur about four feet long and bore it
through your boy, and into the back
door,"

Hon. w. L. Woods, who has for many
years served ~ clerk to the committee on
public lands of the house, has been removed
from that position by its democratic chair
man. We have heard it stated that Mr..
Woods was one of the most industrious,
painstaking, efficient and valuable clerks
connected with the house, and furnished to
his committee each session many valuable
hints and important information concerning
the public domain which he took the trouble
to gather during vacation, and it has been
said that the democrats would retain him in
the place he hes 50 long and 20 ably filled
because Of his acknowledged merit, thus
practically recognizing the civil service re-
form, which formed one of the chief planks
of the last democratic platform. But Mr..
Woods republican record was offensive to
the democratic olfactory, and he must give
way to some person who has voted the
straight ticket" no matter about the othe,
qualifications. Mr.. Woods has made q
number Of visits to Dakota and is an ownel

The idea that Morton has been suffering
these last dozen years from the conse-
quences Of RIGHTEOUSNESS hss gained such
currency that the testimony Of DR.. Middle
ton Goldsmith, q prominent physician Of
Vermont, is worth quoting. He was
surgeon in the Jefferson (Ind.,) military
hospital when Morton was attacked to-
ward the close Of the war, and was probably
the first physician he consulted. To the
question whether there was any truth in
the report that Morton's disease was the
result of n impure life. DR.. Goldsmith
told an interviewer the other day: mo sir.
there was not q word of truth In the story.
l examined him carefully on that point, for
l, too, had heard those reports. l was al.
most sorry that his disease was not syphili.
