The Man that Advertised.

In Paris last summer, saw friend Of mime
who had just come over, using a pen Of pecu-
liar construction, designed with special refer.
ence to those untidy persons who, like myself,
ink their fingers when they write. Now, my
friend is man whose hands are as white as
lilies, with fiBger-nails like rosebuds in tint
noticeable hands, even remarkable, considering
that he is an elderly man, and one who occa-
sionally helps with the lighter work on bis
farm ia Nebraska. Catch him linking his fin.
gers!
"Where did you get that nice pen?" asked
him, vista of blissful exemption from an ura-
linked middle irger opening on my joyons, ex.
pectant mind.
"In Omaha" he answered. "Ies the incest
thing; l used to ink my fingers before got itp'
He did! He linked bis fingers. That was
enough for me. got the name of the mer-
chant from whom he bought the pen, the price
of it, and enclosing the money sent from Paris
to Omaha for that pen.
By the last steamer 1t came to me-
There had been little delay. The stationer at
Omaha was out of them, but he sent up to
Sioux City to them for another lot Aud now
here is where the laugh comes in. The pens
are an English invention and tons of them can
be bought in London if desired. At the sta
toners next door could have got what sert
after to Sioux City. But how could know
that! 1 dealt with the man that advertised

SEEING is believing. The New York cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Press says that
SIT would convert man to belief in the
practicabiity ofspecie resumption on the 1st of
January ifhe could look into the vaults of
the sub-Treasury here. The. logicians advise
men never to trust too much to their senses,
because blind confidence in all sorts of
visionary and incorrect things is easily in
spired BY the senses. uninformed by reason.
So the mere sight Of sos, ,4O7, 900 of gold
coin, and of $6,55O, 900 of silver coin stacked
up in a huge vault, in heaps as high as a
mans head, would perhaps not be logical evil
dence of the power OF the Government to re-
sumo. 1t does dazzle the mind, however, to
look into the great vault of the sub Treasury.
The quantities Of coin stored there, are a.
above stated, there being, with the currency
also on hand, the immense sum of $161, ,740,
900 in money in that huge vault.

The Price Of Corn.
burlington Hawkeye. ]

'sNo," the honest farmer remarked 10 tones
of the deepest detection, 'the big crops don't
do us bit of good. What's the use? Corn only
80 cent?. Everyb body and everything's dead set
agin the farmer. Only 80 cents for corn. Why
By gum, it wont pay our taxes. let alone buy
us clothes. 1t won't buy us enough salt to put
up barrel of pork. Corn only thirty cents!
By Jocks, it's livin', cold-blooded swindle on
the farmer, that's what tits. 1t amt worth
raisin' corn for such price ss that. It's a
mean, low robbery" Within the next ten
DAYS that man had sold so much more of his
corn than he had intended, that he found be
had to buy corn to feed through the winter
with. The price nearly knocked him down.
"What! ! /! he yelled, "thirty cents for corn
Land alive--thirty cents! What are you givin'
us? Why, don't want to buy your farm.
only want some corn! Thirty cents for corn
Why, good laud, i believe there's nobody left
in this world but a lot of graspin', biood-suck-
iu' old misers Why, good land you don't
want to be- able to buy national bank with
one corn cropl Thirty cents for corn! Well FL
let my carriage horses run on corn stalks all
winter before I'll pay any such an unheard
of outrageous price for corn as that Why the
country's flooded with CORP, and thirty cents q
bushel is blamed robbery an don't see how any
man, lookin' at the crop we've had, can have
the face to ask such price.

IT appears by q foreign letter that the
italian government has great faith in the
eucalyptus tree as means of destroying the
malaria which exists in the neighborhood of
Rome. Ithas made concession of five
hundred hectares Of land to the monks of La
Trappe, who reside short distance outside
the wall of the city on condition that the
monks undertake to plant certain number
of the above trees every year. They are
growing at Ire Foutana no fewer than fifty
sorts of the eucalyptus, but it seems that the
variety known as the blue tree of Australia
has thus far proved the best, specimens only
eight years old measuring yard in circum-
ference at the stem. There is every reason to
believe that great benefits will result from the
extensive planting of this tree in and around
Rome.

THE Marquis of Lorne says shrewd things
in sharp way. In his speech taking leave
of the electors Of Argyleshire he took occa.
sion to remark that there are certain weak
vessels in every country who desire to show
their strength by doing eccentric things, and
independence from every influence is among
those features of strength of character which
such vessels always wish to display.
