A BoH's C0MPosITI0N on GIRLs.--
Girls Is the only folks that has their own
way every time. Girls is Of several
thousand kinds, and sometimes one girl
can be ike several Thousand other girls
if she wants to do anything. Girls is
alike one way. they are all like cats IL
you rub 'em the right way Of the hair
they'll purr and look sweet at you, but
if you rub 'em the wrong way or step on
their tails, they'll claw you. So long a.
you let girl have her own way she's
nice and sweet; but just cross her and
she'll spit at you worse nor cat. Girls
Is also like mules. II girl don't want
to believe anything you cant make her.
If she knowsil It's so she won't say so.--
Brother George saws he doesn't like big
girls, but he does like little ones, aud
when saw him kissing Jennie Jones
last Sunday, and told him Of what bed
said, be said he was biting her, cause
he didn't like her. think he'hurt her,
for she followed end run, and there
was big red spot al over both Of her
two cheeks. This IL eli know about
girIs. and father says the less ] know
about them the better oil am.

the principal medical colleges In this
CITY, however, to allow the InfiFmary to

pro0f enough that this hope Of wide open

they had recently obtained recognition
of their Independence and full COM
mercial treaty. In the, negotiations
finally entered upon for the adoption OF
preliminary treaty with England the
points TO be considered were the terri
torlal limits Of the United States, the
fishery question, the subiecs Of debts
Mississippi River and the evacuation Of
the country by she British troops
These gu. stions were all settled in the
form of preliminary articles on the 30th
Of November, 1882 and were called a
treaty OF peace.
The preliIninaries Of the treaty as
finally settled left the commercial re-
lations of the two countries wholly un-
touched, for on this subject the Ameri-
can Commissioners had no instructions,
but in the list of articles which DIR.
Franklin had submitted &c, Mr.. Oswald,
the previous agent for the English Min
istry, Of what he considered as necessa-
~ and as an advisable stipulation, was
q proposition which amounted 10 per-
fectly free carrying trade between Eng
land and America: but when the nego-
tiahons drew 10 point il was found
impracticablc 20 embrace anything more
than what was essential to peace,
leaving all other questions for iuture
settlement. fsnf5'is p aoa -
Speaking OF the debt Of The United
states at the close of the war, which he
stated at $42, 900, ,375, MIR. Curtis said
that il was difficult to obtain a proper
representation OF the different States in
Congress. "Harnilton and Madison"
he said, .'still remained, and made al
most superhuman exertions to induce
the States to consent TO a national sys-
tenn Of revenue, but without success
When Congress came together at An
napolis. the 30th of November. 1883,
there were but fifteen members pres
ent from seven Safes. At this Con.
gress two acts awaited attention, both
of an interesting andsmp portsnt character
and both Of national concern. One was
the resignation Of Washington--a so-
lemnity which appealed to every feeling
ofnationaI gratitude and pride, and would
seem to have demanded whatever Of
pomp and dignity and power the Uni
ted States could display. The other
was the legislative act which was to
give peace TO the country by the ratif-
catica Of the treaty. Several weeks
passed on and the delegations were not
much increased. Washington's resig-
nation vas received by aa audience Of
~ delegates, and on the same day let
ters were drsrutcbesitoi ihe other States
urging them for the safety, the honor
and good faith Uftthe United States to
require the immediate attendance OF
their members. Il was not, however,
until The 18th of January that the treaty
could be ratified by the constitutional
number OF nine States, and when this
took place there were present buttwen-
ty-thfee members" -s -. <.

Oh-h-hl With waiting i1aeelion Of
sympathy that makes me ashamed Of
myself. But curiosity soon conquers
pity, and the old LADY goes on probing
my lacerated heart.
'Did I gSt hims

A long pause, for moUrnful reflection
I suppose, and 10 give me a chance 10

ton.

Of grim satisfaction and questions me

was not. In thus inhoeently stufing
my travelling acquaintance with Q fable
about q country had never seen. q
brother | had never bad, and Indians
that never were, wrote for the old
lady thrilling chapter in her quiet life.
She would 60 TO her quiet little home
and brighten It's humbrum life by tel
ling her people how she met and talked
with man who was going home with
The body Of his brother, maHgled in the
manner described.
Then, in the course OF time, after
many repetitions OF this narrative. she
would involuntariIy andinnoceutly glide
into the statement that she went into
the baggage car with me and / showed
her the mangled tortured body and she
would mangle IL more and more as the
narrative grew upon her. Then she
would, after a little while, declare and
| in ali innocence, and truthfulness and
belief in her own statement, that she
was on the trasn when It came through
the Black Hills, and, from the car VIM
dow, saw the Indians chasing the
doomed man and PeFloraling his body
with arrows, and dancing around him
in fendish glee, while she begged the
conductor to get of aud stop them, and
how he declined on the fimsy ground
that he had a wife and nine children 10
support, and no insurance either on the
top of his head or hIs life.
Then, after a few more Tebeafssls,
arrows would Ay'righl in at the window
where she was sitting, and one or more
passengers would be killed. One ar
row would pass through her bonnet
The train would be the scene OF tho
widest confusion and carnage.
And, at last, after the old lady had
been gathered to her mothers, her
grandchildren would tell their grand
children about their noble old grand
mother and their brave, gallant grand
father who both fell by the hand Of out
numbering savages, while defending q
railway train from the attack Of band Of
Sioux Indians under the command Of
Sitting Bull, whom their grandfather,
Just before he died, killed with his own
hand.
