''It's pretty true sayin' that truths
stranger'n felton," remarked Galley to
the old resident, as he sat in the fish mar
ket, examining his mouth with boneless
cod. Twenty years ago, when I lived
up in LittlebOro, there was ayOung feller
there named Ringe-Si Ringe, and he
was engaged to be married to a lovely gal
who was proud and considerably poor.
Old man Ringe was forehanded and was
sot agin his sons marrying the gal, so he
perhibited the match. Ringe went of
and married another gal, and the gal she
went of and was never heard of again.
A few years after this, Ringe's wife ran
of with barber and feft Ringe and ten
children. Ringe he married the barber's
wife that was left behind TOO. In the
mean time beautiful gal made her ap-
pearanee in town. and Ringe fell in love
with her and married her, and am dunn
med If she didn't turn out to be the gal he
fust wanted ter marry, but she'd been
gone over fifty years, and so they didn't
know one another till after they were
married.
The old resident gathered himself uT
from vile of oyster shells where he had
been sitting, and said, with a glance oi
whitening contempt:
'sWhen man tells sich sick, onreasona.
Bile stories as them, the quicker he puts OF
immortality the better for his friends. -

There was something that looked very
much like a crisis in the Senate Chamber
Monday afternoon when a Senator on the
majority side discovered, or thought he
discovered that the third assistant porter
Just elected was not a Democrat. All!
then and there were hurrying to and fro
and tremblings of distress. Mr.. Tyler
moved to reconsider the resolution by
which the appointment was authorized.
Mr.. Carson wanted to know what was the
matter. Mr.. Joy was turned to grief at
rumor that this was thus. Mr.. Carson
showed immediate signs of relief to learn
that the matter, confessedly serious one
if it could not be satisfactorily explained,
was really not so bad. He had Colonel
Baber's word for it that Sebastian, the
newly elected, was Democrat. The re-
action was so instantaneous that Mr.. 1'y-
Ter and Mr.. Joy were left when the vote
was again taken, and according to the
preponderanee of evidence, the Senate is
assured Of man of all work that is in po-
litieally harmonious relations with the
victorious Democracy.-O. s. Journal.

he Game BACK.

Governor Duval, of Florida, was the
son of poor Virginian, stern, strong,
taciturn man. The boy was a huge
youth of 10. At the cabin fire, at bed
time, according to the custom of putting
on back log, the old man said, between
the whiffs of his silent pipe:
''Tab, go out and bring in that gum
back log, and put it on the fire."
Tab went out and surveyed the log. He
knew it was of no use explaining that it
was too heavy, nor prudent for him to
return without having it on his shoulder.
His little sister, passing, was not sur
prised that he requested her to bring out
the gun and powder horn, as possum or
coon might have passed, or the brother
might have seen bear signs. She brought
the gun and Tab started. He found the
way through the woods into Kentucky,
in 1871. After an absence of eighteen
years he was elected to Congress. A man
of immense size and strength he started
for Washington, going by the way of his
old home, to see the folks who had long
since given him up for dead. Entering
the little cabin door near bed time he saw
the identical gum log. He shouldered it,
pulled the latch-string, and with his load
stood before the old man, pipe in mouth,
as quiet as usual.
''Here is the gum backlog, father.''
''WelI, you've been long time getting
it. Put it on the fire and go to bed,' was
the reply San AntoniO Herald.

There is a very lively agitation in New
Haven, Conn.,, over the recent action of
the School Board in abolishing religious
services In the public schools of that city,
including Bible readings. The falculty
of Yale, several ex-Governors, members
of Congress and other influential citizens
have entered protest, and called upon the
Board to reconsider its action. On the
other side are arraYed great number of
citizens who insist that the Board shall
adhere to its course, and make the schools
so purely secular that the sectarians shall
have no cause of complaint against them.
It is evident that big fight is on hand,
and that in SO conservative city as New
Haven, those who oppose complete di-
vorce between the institutions of Church
and State viii have all they can do to sue
cessfully resist the movement.-Cin Cincinnati
Commercial.

The frequency of the failpras in the
last two months of 1877 all over the conn
try, awakens an increased interest in the
authentic figures for the entire year furn-
ished by the Mercantile Agency of Messrs
X. G. Dun & Co., with their usual promp-
titude and elaborateness. This Agency's
record of the years failures compares
favorably with that of the previous year
despite the numerous financial disast ers
reported during the last few months. The
total number for twelve months in the
United States was 1872, or 22O less than
in 1875; total liabilities, $19O, ,669, 900, half
a million less than in the year before, but
a sum largely above the average of years
since the panic Of 1s73.-Chtlltcoths Ca

Its Of no consequence, perhaps, but
the laws governing the institutions for
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, are
the same acts passed by the Democratic
6lst General Assembly less than four years
ago. The Democrats of the 63d General
Assembly, in spite of the forbearance
shown in regard to the matter by their
Republican predecessors, are making
haste to introduce and press forward bills
to reorganize institutions that now stand
organized under the Democratic acts
above mentioned, the only excuse for
this waste of legislaivet time and power
being that it is calculated to anticipate by
perhaps twelve month, that accession
OF the party to the control of the Boards
Oh trustees, which is only question OF
Time under the present law.-O.,S. Journal

Several scores of poor negroes are hud-
died in a street in Charleston, anxiOusly
waiting for the departure of a vessel to
Liberia. They were drawn from their
homes in the back country by the repre-
sentations of agents of the "Liberian Ex-
odus Steamship Company" and they sold
out their effects and went to Charleston,
expecting to sail away at once to a land
of plenty. But no steamship was ready
for them, and as most of them had no
means, they are dependent upon charity
to save them from starvation. The agent
of the Exodus company said that the
ship had not yet been bought. One of the
would-be emigrants said that they wanted
to go to Liberia because it was the will of
God that His people should go. The af-
fair has the appearance of a very heart
less fraud.

AS farmer in neighboring town in
Massachusetts, was getting in his hay he
noticed an unusual commotion among the
swallows, which had built long row of
nests under the caves of his barn. They
appeared greatly excited, flying rapidly
about and filling the air with their cries
of distress. As the load of hay upon
which he was riding passed into the barn,
he saw that young swallow in nest
over the door had caught his neck in a
crack between two shingles, and was un-
able to liberate itself. He stopped his
team to set the bird free, restoring it to
the nest. Upon his return to the barn
with his next load of hay, noticing that
the swallows were quiet, he examined
the crack, and found that they had com
pletely filed it with mud, so that, nc
matter how enterprising or foolish the
young swallow might be, he could not
again endanger his life or the peace O.
that community by any experiments up
on that crack.
