Rung a Cold Deck on Him.

He is prominent newspaper mar, and
parts his hair in the middle. The part
is over five inches wide, which gives him
an innocent cast of countenance. To
those who knew him not he might be
considered verdant in appearance. He
was riding in a sleeper, on the Central
Pacific railroad, and fell into an innocent
little game of pedro, with Colonel, Pro-
fessor and Doctor. During an anima-
ted conversation and quiet deal, three
aces were thrown on his side of the table,
after which one of the three gaily re-
marked, with the greatest GOODNESS, 81

with such hand for years" Our edito-
rial friend saw the game, looked up in
nocently and remarked:
"I have been favored also. 1 have
pretty good poker hand myself"

continued thusly:

Narrowing Wheat,

Secretary Stratton, of the Colorado
Board of Agriculture, in his report to
Gov. Routt, among other interesting in
formation, has the following in relation
to narrowing wheat:
'aThe practice of narrowing winter
wheat in the spring of the year has OBJ
tanned to some extent in the western
states; and reasoning from analogy, Mr..
P. NJ. Hinman, of Boulder county-a
member of the Board-having a field of
wheat which failed to have good stand,
and whose general outlook was every
way inferior to the balance of his wheat
decided to harrow the field and notice
the result. The harrow was faithfully
applied when the young wheat was four
to six inches high. Many of Mr.. Hin
mans neighbors, who witnessed the ope-
ration, were very free to express their
opinion that the wheat would be ruined.
Such, however, was not the case, as Mr..
Hinman informed me that Immediately
after the narrowing the wheat took a
better look, and commenced growing
rapidly; and at harvest-time the field so
treated gave the largest yield.

Pine Post Punishment.

Thewhipping-post has been denounced
as relic of barbarism, but it has its uses
in western civilization. The county COM
missioners, at Austin, New, recently
adopted the following ordinance: 1t is
ordered that the sheriff be, and he is
hereby instructed to erect a post in a
conspicuous place near the court house.
in accordance with the provisions of sec
ton one, of the act of the legislature ot
the State of Nevada, entitled: Gan act
to prevent cruelty to women" The post
has been cut from huge pine-log, and
set up in the square. Not man in town
dares to beat his wife. Impartial justice
however, requires the passage of another
Legislative act, with slightly modified
title, for the prevention of cruelty to
men, and the establishment of another
pine post in front of the court house.
What is sauce for the gander is sauce for
the dear little goose.

ElODenentS.

Some of the recent elopemenrs are in
teresting. Mr.. Bean took his wife to a
concert in Manchester, n. B., slipped
away from her, went home, packed his
clothes in trunk, stole $1,000 of her
money, and ran away with neighbor's
spouse. The Rev. Jas. Deverigny aban-
doned his Michigan parish, leaving a
large number of debts, and taking along
Deacon Snell's daughter. A young cOu-
pie in Danforth, KY, on whose union
their parents frowned, fed together on a
single horse, but the overloaded beast
was unable to outrun the one on which
the girls father pursued, and the elope-
me t was a failure. Two lovers who
eloped from Milwaukee by railroad were
so closely followed that, for fear of being
overtaken, they did not stop long enough
at any station to get married. Atlength
after three days of incessant travel, they
found clergyman on the train, who
performed the ceremony.

An Episcopal Bishop hailed a small
boy in Boston street. Wanting boy
to go on an errand, he naturally desired
to know how trustworthy he was. So
he asked, "Are you a good boyP" The
boy looked up into the face of his rev.
erend questioner, and replied, with
that accuracy for which young persons
in Boston are so Justly distinguished,
well, sir, am not a very good boy; 1
cuss little sometimes" This candid
reply impressed the Bishop so favorably
that ne at once intrusted the Youthful
Bostonian with SS. and sent him on the
errand. The Bishops friends laughed
at him, and said he would never see the
lad again, or the s. either. But in an
hour he returned having faithfully full
filled the trust committed to him. The
Bishop says he has more confidence in
boys of this kind, who give an honest
account of themselves, than in those who
pretend to be good.

are still the most thorough and search
ing cathartic medicine that can be
employed: cleansing the stomach anc
bowels, and even the blood. In small
doses Of one pill day, they stimulate
the digestive organs and promote Vlg'
Orous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter OF century, ana
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
eased action in the several assimlla-
tive organs Of the body, and are SO
composed that obstrueti0Rs within
their range can rarely Withstand OF
eyade them. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have bafied the best
of human skill. While they produce
powerful effects, they are, at the same
time, the safest and best physic for
children. By their aperient ACTION
they gripe much less than the eommQn
purgatives, and never give pain when
the bowels are not infiamed. They
reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing
It from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions
In all climates, containing neither
calemel nor any deleterious drug,
these Pills may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugaF-ee eating pre-
serves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to takeI while being
purely vegetable, no harm ean arise
from their use In any quantity.

There are depths to a woman's char
acter too profound for the research of
man, Delicate, timid, shrinking, yet she
possesses a heroism that rises TO the
hight Of grandeur, a keenness Of percep-
ton almost miraculous, and prompt
ness in action that is certainly marvellous.
A Danbury lady seated at her sewing
the other evening put her hand into her
pocket in quest Of some object, when
her fingers came In contact with the
slippery and repulsive touch of a mouse.
There was an impulse to scream, but re-
pressing it by a powerful effort. she
jumped up in the air, overturning the
table, smashing ten-doliar lamp, upset
two chairs, and Gaping the climax by
going over In a heap under the piano,
Her husband, who was asleep in the
next room, was aroused by the noise
and rushed to her help. "What Is the
matter% he demanded, as she got on
her feet, She told him., "Why on earth
didn't you call meT hs almost yelled,
when he saw the damage done. ~ didn't
want to disturb you" was the heroic
reply. And then the emergency being
over, her strength deserted her, and she
burst into food of tears.

RADlCAL1s,I DOOMED.


The most intelligent, the shrewdest,
of the Radicals chose tbs battle-ground
last year, and were beaten on it before
the people. Wise or unwise, beaten or
not beaten on it, the Radical party can
never reoccnpy the ground. The old
Radical shibboleths can nevermore he
placed in the lips or imbedded in the
hearts of men. They are forever BAN
ished from the hustings, the party pl,ss-
forms and the Radical Press. The
managers last year chose the only field
on which they believe | victory possible,
and they chose sagacioasly. But for
that sectional yell, the Cincinnati En-
guirer declares that the Democrats
would have Carried Ohio in OctoLe,,
and then the Radical party would have
been beyond the reach OF salvation by
Returning Boards or an Eight-to-seven
Commission But this is not the most
depressing phase of politics to the Rad
icals. That platform entirely abandon
ed by the Administration and a more
humane and patrioic doctrine being en-
throned, the party goes before the coun-
try in 1877 only to confront still more
emphatic defeat. This to Radicals is
the over-topping, melancholy fact. All
roads lead to defeat.
