THE State Convention, on Wednesday of
last week, was opened with prayer by
Rev. D. H. Moore, of Cincinnati. 1t is
said to have been the first devotional ex-
ercises, of an orthodox character, held in
the new hall. The reverend gentleman
became somewhat patriotic in his devO-
tions; and some other persons in that vast
audience caught the spirit, and could not
restrain their patriotism from bursting
out into enthusiastic responses-not in
the usual way upon devotional occasions,
but by vigorously clapping their hands.

days since at Mansfield, when Webb was

knocking the offenders head gear off
with his rifle. The owner picked it
up, and as he clapped it on his head
again, shouted: | am bald, judge.
A repetition of the performance fol-
lowed; at which waxing indignant,
his honor rose and said: [ fine you
So for contempt Of cenrt-to be com
mitted until the fine is paid.
The offender walked up to the
Judge, and laying down = half dol
lar.remarked: Your sentence, judge,
is most ungentlemanly, but the law
is imperative, and will have to stand
1t; so here is halt a dollar, and the
four and a half you owed me when

ing makes Us square!
The cardplaying administrator of
justice must have felt as small as his
brother judge when he priced the
COW. Being at Little Rock, Arkan-
sas, on business, that judge strolled
into the market, and seeing a farmer
with a COW, stepped up to him and
asked what be wanted for her. Thir-
ty dollars, said the farmer She'll
give you FIVE quarts of milk if you
feed her well.
Why,quoth the judge.I have cows
on my arm, not much more than half
as big as yours, which give twenty
quarts a day.
The COW owner eyed his new ac-
quaintance very hard, as if trying to
remember if he had seen him before,
and then inquired where he lived.
My home is in Iowa, was the reply.
Yes, stranger, said the farmer,
don't dispute it. There were heaps
of soldiers from Iowa down here dur
ing the war, and they were the worst
liars in the whole Yankee army.
Maybe you may have been an officer
in some of them regiments?
Without satisfying his interlocu-
tors curiosity on that point, the
Judge slid for the courthouse.

He had, thero!5.e Drought back the
Elders uinteenth caster and desired
to exchange it for ten dollar-' worth
of groceries. This would be equiv
alent to placing at least fonr dol
lars in the hands of the Elder, be
sides The usual profit upon the ten
dollars worth of groceries. As to
the precise nature of the groceries,
be would not presume to dictate,
but wonld simply suggest that eggs
and ham would bring joy to his
humble parsonage.
In the presence of the dozen
leading citizens the Elder could not
refuse so reasonable a request He
received the caster in silence, and
ordered his boy to put up ten dol
lars worth of hams and fresh eggs.
The Pastor thanked him, and after
urging ham to call at the parsonage,
and limiting that possibly he might
be willing to sell him two or three
more casters at the same rate tool
his departure. That night the Ell
der kicked the family cat complete
ly through the window, admins
tered a severe course of apple-tree
switch to his two boys, on the
ground that they had surreptitious-
ly visited the circus in July, 1878,
and in several other ways led his
wife to suppose thai he had re-
ceived news of the failure of some
missionary enterprise, or was bur
dened with the fear that heresy was
making progress in the Preshyte-
rian Church.
Thus we see that it is never wise
to induce inanimate tags to tell lies
for us, and that it is not safe to cast
too many lveT-plated casters az
one dollar each before even the
most patient minister, lest he
should turn and metaphorically rend
somebody.

ssWHAT SHALL THE HARVEST BE- -
How a Surprise PARTY Ended-A Minis
ters Good Boy Wreaks Vengeance Upon
His Fathers Prosecutors.

The funny man of the New York
Times relates the adventures of Mr..
and Mrs. Sawyer, a Methodist min
lister and his wife, and Master Saw

northern Vermont, "he says, ''that pc
culiar form of social outrage, known
as a surprise party, but of late called
a Bulgarian atrocity, is still la

inc in the first week of the present
month, Mr.. Sawyer and his family
were seated quietly by their social
hearth enjoying one anothei's socie-

aloud the Bishops PASTORAL letter;
his wife was busily calculating how
to cut up her husbands old over
coat, so as to supply him with a new
waistcoat, herself with a new over
skirt, and Master Sawyer with a
new pair of trusers, while that excel
lent boy was reading the imprOv-
ing adventures of an eminent pirate,
and wondering whether he would
be able to emulate them. Not one
of the family was prepared to re-
ceive visitors. Mr.. Sawyer had on
his dressing gown and Mrs. Sawyer
had let down her back hair to give
freedom to her mental processes, and
Master Sawyer had temporarily

Suddenly, and without the least

logical students, burst into the room,
carrying cake and devastation with
them. The marauders conducted
themselves after the usual custom

That Anaconda Signature.

Many curious things happened To
General Spinner, late United States
Treasurer, during the many years he
held that responsible position, bur
the bluff old Watchdog of the
Treasury bad a practical way of
managing which seldom failed to
win against all odds. He got
caught one day, however, in the
most unexpected manner. His sig
nature, so well known where green
backs have ramifed, got in time to
be so much in demand that people
all over the country used to write
asking him for his autograph. He
fell into habit of complying by re-
turning brief response,in which, ,af-
ter the formal beginning, he would
say: ''The request made in your
note of-date is herewith complied
with" to which he would afix his
grotesque signature.
One day a tall man, a very tall
slim man, with store clothes on, in a
plug hat and new boots, from one of
the southwestern counties of Vir-
ginia, stalked into the office and
stated that he had come up to be
sworn in. Spinner looked up.
"What did you say?" said he.

man, glancing complacently at his
new clothes. Il have a note from
you in reply to my application, in
which you offer me a clerkship in

pocket a folded paper he spread it
before the astonished Treasurer,
who read:

The old man jumped up, rushed
to his letter file and discovered that
on the day named he had received
two applications for his autograph
and one for an office. He had
mailed the same answer to all
three. He sat down, turned and
gazed sadly at the expectant Vir
ginian for about two minutes, and
then going down to his pockets be

more than quarter of a century, and
have obtained worldwide reputation
for their virtues. They correct dis
