THE SORT OF A MAN FOR A
HUSBAND.

/
Dickens said of the following
anocdote; "You must know that 7
have appropriated that story, and
acquired immense reputation by it. l"
1t occurs in a paper of "reminiscences.
entitled, CA Yankee Tar and His
Friends" On one of Captain Nor
gan's voyages from America to Eng
land, he had under his care a very
attractive young lady, who speedily
distinguished herself by reducing
five young gentlemen to distraction.
She was quite ready to marry one,
but what could she do with five? In
the embarrassment of her riches she
sought the captain, who, after few
moments thought, said: Sits .
fine, calm day; suppose, by accident,
you should fall overheard; I'll have
a boat lowered ready topick you up,
and yeu- can take -theman.wholoves
you well enough to jump after you.'
This novel proposition met the
young lady's views, and the pro-
gramme was accordingly carried
out, with the trifing exception that
four of the young men took the
plunge, and, being picked up by the
boat, presented themselves a drip
ping quartette on the ships deck.
The object Of their undampened ar
dor, no less wet than themselves;
fed to her state-room and sent for
her adviser, the captain. "Now,
captain" cried she. in despair,
"what an, I to do?" 'eAh, my DEAR"
replied the captain, "if you want a
sensible husband, take The dry ons!"
And she did.

HIS CURRENCY.

During the first year of the war,
when change was scarce and some
large firms were issuing currency Of
their own;a a farmer went to q store
in o neighboring town and bought
some goods, and gave the merchant
five dollar bin, of which he wanted
seventy-five cents back. The mer-
chant counted it out, handed it over
to the farmer, who looked at it q
moment, and inquired: iaoo
"Whatis this?"
"It,s my currency said the merr
chant.
"Wall, tain't good for nothin'
where I live" said the farmer. st:
Every WE'LL" replied the mer-
chant, keep it until you get dol
lars worth, and bring it to my store;
I'll give you dollar bill for it, r
The farmer pocketed the change
and departed. A few weeks after he
went to the same store and bought
goods TO the amount of one dollar,
and paying over the identical seven
ty-fye cents, he took a handful Of
pumpkin seeds and counted out
twenty-five of them, and passed
them to the merchant. 4 y
"Why," said the merchant, "what
| is this?" t -s'' fi -.-.f
"Wall," said the farmer, .;that is
my currency; and when you get .
dollars worth, bringait tony place,
and I will give you dollar for it"

EmersOn's Miastre,s

A good show deserves a good house.
The ua1ties were preserved last night at ths
performance Of Billy Emelsons minstrels.
A fine minstrel performance was roquited
with the highest marks of approval
by large audience. Billy Emerson
IS host in himself, and appeared
at his best, seconded by s'the Big Four
LIE exhibition was grand success. The
company is strong one in all it's personnel.
The individual songs are the latest, each was
rendered most pleasantly, and the choruses
were given with excellent taste and time.
Senior 4. Abecci's solo and harp minstrelsy
was received with great applause. The
comicaities and humors of the troupe were
exquislteiy funny, and were greeted with
outbursts of laughter. Men laughed till they
cried, and the ladies were convulsed. There's
one saving clause to the general appreciation
discard the woman. 1t is no idle
comment, because forciby true, that Emer-
sons Ministries is the best company in the
country. An entirely new programme will
be presented tomorrow night

Results.

he Has Collision With Disastrous
Results.
The grand bounce.
1t occurred at the corner OF st. Peter and
Fifth streets.
The hour was - o'clock noon.
The bounced was Uncle Thomas Crossley,
an aged colored gentleman residing near
Lake Como, and his war steed Rarus and
his attachments.
The bouncers were o pair of runaway
horses belonging to Mr.. Tracey, residing at
LslseYille, near the border of Rice county.
The prime cause of ell the disturbance
was Billy Emerson, the Big Four, and his
cornet band.
Ana it happened il this wise:
Billy Emerson, the Big -Four, and his
sable assistants, all bieached, were treating
the citizens of 81. Paul to free serenade.
AS the serenading cavalcade passed, the farm
horses of Mr. Tracey, attached to a wagon
loaded with No. 8 wheat, not being accus-
toned to city life, seemed to imagine
that each individual footing horn was
an invitation for them TO 'git," and they
got, and with such rapidity that they soon
dissolved partner with the muscular
Jehu who had hold of the ribbons. The di-
rection taken was UP ST. Peter street, and
thoagh handicapped with a heavy load of
wheat they made 2:13l4 time.
Now, it SO happened that just at this tirne
Uncle Thomas Crossley was driving slowly
down St. Peter street, musing ON tho vanity
OF things sublunary, and especially that par
ticuiar product the Freedmens bureau. and
SIGH like. All at once he woke up to worldly
events. And it was time. The runaway
horses were but q little distance off, Fifth
street seemed to present an avenue of escape.
Uncle Thomas turned down il toward the
post Office. Just as Uncle Thomas made the
turn the runaways concluded to take the
same direction. Uncle Thomas necessarily
moved slow, the runaways moved fast, so fast
that thsy could not mako an artistic turn,
and from that failure came the trouble. The
runaways struck Uncle Thomas rig q square
br0adslde and-weii, there was trouble. The
ruraways suddenly stopped. But Uncle
Thomas horse and wagon was lifted up
bodily and deposited upon the Sidewalk,
while Uncle Thomas himself took an aerial
flight over the fence into the yard adjoining.
Uncle Thomas went through his aerial fighe
without injury, but his wagon suffered {. bad
wreck in being set down so suddenly.
One front wheel was smashed 10 snnitherems,
several spolzo3 broken out of hind wheel, q
reach broken, and othsr damage done. The
horse was uninjured, and the runaways
escaped with few slight scratches.
The excitement of the collision over, Uncle
Thomas began to look around for his dam
ages. The driver of the runaways would
have none of it. He had done his best to
hold the team. If any one was to blame it
was Billy Emerson and his footing crew.
Uncle Thomas couldn't see Billy. All he
could see was the runaway team, and he
stuck TO his point SO persistently, that
Traoey's man finally ponied up $3.50 to
settle.
And thus ended Yesterdays grand bounce.
