a woman was yesterday seen hanging out
some clothes in yard on Macomb street
when boy looked over the fence and called
out:
Have you seen any mad dogs go by here
Just now:'
Mad dogs-mercy," gasped the woman
and she threw four wet shirts on the ground
in heap and got INTO the house at foul
bounds.
The boy maintained his position, and after
few minutes the woman put her head out OF
the door and asked:
"Have you?'
"Noap,' was the calm reply; II guess the
season for 'cm has drawcd to close"
"You miserable boy! why dld you alarm
me so?" she exclaimed, as she opened the door
and stood on the step.
"Who's bin alarmed? | guess if want to
find mad dog I've got a right to inquire il
any has gone by, haven't L? You don't ex
pect me to go'n git out fullsheet posters and

SUDGET OF FUN.


From the Reno New Gazette
4 bothered looking citizen came into the
Gdzcttc office yesterday afternoon and respect
fully asked to hc let look N the dictionary
He sat down and rather anAiously thumbed
Webster for while
"What word are YOU looking tor?" asked Il
reporter, seeing that the stranger had failed to
strike the trail.
"Wrll" said the man in Il burst OF conf
dcncc "yon see I've only been married short
time and my wite's gone up to Truckec ON Il
visit, and she's written 10 me to look in the
bottom of her trunk for "a loi OF tucklng' and
send it to her. Now, what ] want 10 know is,
what in blazes is 'tucking? IL aint IN the
dictionary"
"Tuciing?" said the reporter briskly, "why,
tucking is the stuff the girls make by poking
sort of short-turncd iish-hook through hole
and catching the thread and drawing it back
again"
Then the editor spoke up contemptuously,
and said that man who was so ignorant as
that ought To hold his tongue. What the re.
porter had described was CrOchctiUg Every.
body ought TO know what tuCking was. The
ladies in making it used little contrivance
shaped like a musscl, with thread wound St
inside of it. Iucking could bc purchased, he
believed. for 10 or Is cents yard, and why in.
telligent girls should waste whole day in
making what they Gould get for short bit
was more thsn he could understand In an.
swer to a question from the admiring reporter,
the editor said he had been told that tucking
was used in trimming the under garments of
the fair sex, but why things should be orna
mcn.ed which fellow would get licked for
trying to look at-or perhaps shot-was be-
yOnd his comprehension.
The married stranger said the editor was
mistaken; that the article he mentioned was
not tucking-it was tatting, This he knew
for fact
The editor observed thai when a man came
to the Gdsette Office for in&.rmaiion, the editor
when he gave 1t didns like to be told he lied
If the stranger wantcd TO avoid trouble he had
better get out and 90 10 the devil. AS the edi-
tor had growa red IN the face and his eyes
were blazing, the married stranger coughed
feebly and slunk down stairs.
In the meantime, what is ''tucking?'

La Center Letter.

La CENTER, W. T., Jan. Sd, 1878.
Mr. EDITOR:
Prof. Cederstrom, the celebrated
Swedish phrenolegist, lectured here on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
1t is seldom that we have the opportu-
nifty of listening to so able speaker,
especially upon the interesting subject
of Phrenology. These lectures were
well attended. Parents and children,
church members and anti-church mem
bers, all seemed equally interested in
the truth, even from a chronological
stand point, thus evincing a general
liberality of mind not found in every
community. On Friday evening he
spoke of the relation of this science to
education, or the physical, moral and
intellectual Development of the race.
On Saturday evening his discourse was
principally confined to physiognomy;
and on Sunday evening his subject was;
Courtship and marriage.
After each lecture, as a test of his
skill, he invited the audience to call
out different individuals for examina-
ton This was the source of much
amusement at the expense of those Sc
lected. Especially was this the case
on Sunday evening, when several
young ladies and gentlemen were ex-
amined with a view to matrimony. As
a lecturer, Prof Cederstrom may safely
be pronounced success
1t is true, that owing to his foreign
birth and education, he is not able at
all times TO give due expression to his
thoughts. His lectures here cannot
fail to be productive of much good He
is certainly an adept in the science Of
phrenology, and as a physiognomist has
few equals. He goes from here with
the good wishes of our people; and
should he ever return among us, he
will receive hearty welcome and in
creased patronage.

Montgomery Blair has introduced a
memorial in the Maryland Legislature
praying shat needful legislation may
be adopted by Congress to ascertain jul
dicially who was elected President at

to the will of the people" &c, &c.
Blair expects that similar memorials
will be Forthcoming from the legisla-
