1t Had Grass In 1t.

Some years ago there lived in Trenton
an editor whose paper had quite circu-
lation down in jersey among the pines,
and when his subscribers neglected to
pay up promptly ne would go off on
collecting tour One summer day he
stopped at hotel kept by countryman.
1t was situated near cedar swamp, and
the bracing pine air felt good to the edi-
tor.
"Give me mint julep," he said to the
countryman as he entered the bar-room.
"a what?" asked the astonished
greeny.
"a mint julep," said the editor: "don't
you know what that is! If you don't, I'll
show you how to make one. Got any
mint?"
"Y-a-a-s."
Got any lemons?"
''Y-a-a-s."
"Got any ice?'
"What fool ever heard of ice in sum-
mer time?" said the countryman.
30, we'll, can get along without ice,
then"
And the countryman cut some mint in
Ills Salueu, ulouSnl ZIG lemons ana SUI
!ar,and soon the editor, not forgetting the
brandy, had made two juleps, one for
himself and another for his host.
"By gosh, but that is good! p said the
latter, as he smacked his lips. "I'll make
some more Of that"
The editor left, and the countryman,
who never drank to excess before, now
drank mint .juleps by the dozen. About
the same time the next year, the Tren-
ton editor again stopped at the hotel, and
before him he saw very stout woman
dressed in black.
"Where's the landlord?" he asked.
dead dead" she exclaimed, and in
another moment she had burst into tears.
why" returned the newspaper man,
"the landlord looked good and healthy
when was here before
eyes, yes" she replied, "and so he
was, but some dirty beast came along one
day and taught him how to make drink
with grass in it, and he drank, and
drank, until it killed him."
For some reason or other the journalist
left without presenting his bill.

He Was After Dickens.

"Do you want to hire reporter?" in
quired a rednosed young man, as he
thrust his Illuminated olfactory into this
office yesterday.
He was informed that we had all the
help we required at present.
Sorry-very sorry" he said bowling
quite low; 'just noticed by squib in ne VS.
paper that the immortal Dickens began
life as reporter; first I had heard Of it.
and concluded at once to begin that way
myself. Dickens made great success
Of it, and what has been done once can
be done again."
We acknowledged that Dickens had
made quite hit.
"a decided hit" put in the young
man, "and all want is to start under
the same auspices. Sure you have no
place for me?"
''No place at present"

me if a vacancy should accur."
We promised to remember him, and
the young man withdrew.
Protruding his beacon light once more,
he said
Daniel Webster, Benjamin Franklin,
and Napoleon Bonaparte also began life
in newspaper offices; but don't care for
them; Dickens is the man I'm after,'
and he closed the door softly and went
down stairs on his tiptoes. OIL Csty Der

the celebrated stock breeder, of Compton ,
Canada, and Mr.. Simon Beattie, OF Preston
Hall, Amman. Scotland, have been making
tour in the United States, and have
visited some of the best stock farms in
Kentucky AMI elsewhere, with view Of
buying few young horses, possessing the
best qualities for roadsters to be obtained
in this country, for the purpose of export
ing them to England. They found but few
road horses in the West possessing the
necessary points of endurance so much in
demand in England. They came to Burllng-
