his ability TO cope with any illegal OF

other states are now in correspond

EnrichiBz the Language.

1t is proposed to introduce into the
American language a new word, "to
potterize," meaning to vindicate the
truth of history by bringing to light
all the facts on one side and excIud-
ing all the other side Of a disputed
question; or to establish ones own
postulste ones own wsy without
permitting the other side to be
heard But the better word to ex-
press that meaning would be "to
samtildenize" " In logic, "samtiiden-
ization" woDld mean getting to a
conclusion by excluding all the prem
ises that would..conduct to a different
conclusion. 10 law, it wonld mean the
conviction Of q defendant BY excluding
all the evidence be might have to
offer. In politics, it would mean the
establishment of the truth Of history
by excluding all the facts that were
displessing to the historian.

Never Forget Anything

Change your mind with your du-
ty. That is largely the true defni-
tion Of faithfulness Bad memory
and mistakes are used as apol-
ogies great deal oftener than
necessary. 4 boy beginning bust
ness life will generally lose his place
who pleads such an excuse more than
once or twice.
A successful business man says
there were two things which he
learned when be was eighteen, which
were afterward of great use to him.
namely, "never to lose anything and
never to forget anything" An cid
lawyer sent him with an important
paper, with certain instructions what
TO do with il.
But" inquired the young man,
suppose | lose it what shall do
then ?n
The answer was with tee utmost
emphasis, "You mnst not lose it,
IL don't mean to-" said the young
mar, "but suppose should happen
to-"
"But say you must not happen
tol | shall make no provision for
any such occurrence You must not
lose ii''
This put a new train Of thought
into the young mans mind. and he
found that if be was determined to
do thing be could do it, lie made
such provisions against every con-
tingeney that be never lost anything
He found this equally true about for
getting. II a certain matter Of i'm

The Tree Pecidier.

An agricultural exchange goes
for" the tree peddler in the following
terms There is no greater humbug
practiced upon the eredulity OF the
people than the offering Of new fruits
by tree agents and nurserymen, as
the last thing that was ever discov-
cred or planted Nineteen out OF
every twenty of ell these new fruits
are generally worthless. Oae Lu'-
seryman has an apple that is superb
or to all others, another pear tree
that 70 one can do without, free from
blight and an immense bearer and the
fruit of the finest quality. Another
has currant, a strawberry or rasp-
berry, all entirely Indispensable to the
unsuspec,ing farmer. And still
others have grapes that ripel early,
are very large, delicious and just the
thing to supplant all others for all
purposes. One has cherry tree
that will take tho place of the Early
Richmond and the English Morello
All these will do well, according to
the opinions of toe several owners Of
the humbug, in any and all climates,
like the patent medicine warranted to
cure any and all diseases. One man,
whose almost exclusive stock Of eV-
ergreens is the European larch, re-
commends its planting without limit.
Another has supplied him abundant
ly with the Utah hybrid cherry,
which is really not cherry at all,
but q very inferior small plum that
everybody must have Our COM
mon wild plums are transplanted
aud nursed, and a larger stock is
propagated-some significant name
given them, and they are then herald
to the world as Indispensable, high
quality, large size. curculio proof,
and indeed possessed with more good
qualities than any and all other
plums combined. The result Of all
this is, the farmers pay out thousands
of dollars every year for stock that
is not only worthless and known to
be worthless by the venders, but i'm
portant time is lost in waiting for
the results that are so boastingly
promised, and only, after several
years. waiting TO find how they have
been swindled.

States bank examiner, who was returning
from and official visit to Santa Fe, was the
only passenger, and occupied the outside
seat by the side of the driver; while Mr..
Stewart, the blacksmith for the stage com.
pany, was inside the coach asleep. The
moon had not arisen, and the horses were
slowly ascending the grade, when the rob.
bers suddenly sprang from the roadside, one
of them selling the leaders by the bits,
while the other, calling "Halt?' covered
the driver, mexican Charlie" aud Mr..
Langford with his gun, warning both not to
move a hand, adding Immediately: II

replied that there was no treasure box
board,-but the robber replied that he
knew better, and demanded that it be pro.
duced forthwith.
