Revised Proverbs.

in good house all is quickly ready,
not counting, of course, the young lady
whom you had called to take to church.
She is always half hour behind time.
He that hath love in his heart hath
spurs in his side.' This is not true love
in all cases. There was young Loekinvar
who came out of the west. He had love
in his heart, but he wore his spurs on his
boots. 1t was his steed that had spurs in
his side.
sHe that measures not himself Is meas
ured.' This is y very excellent proverb'
but it was originally intended for motto
in tailor's shop.
sWhen your Willis ready your heart Is
light unless you happen to be LOUIS
vile girl.
Good words quench more than BUCKET
of water but slap on the water while
Won send some one to turn in the alarm
Neither bribe, nor lose thy right eN-
cept in working bill through the Legis-
lature; then scratch out the two MS
@E'He that repairs not part, builds ALL
except in the case of a man who lives In
a rented house.
sHe that seeks trouble, never misses,
unless he belongs to an amateur rifle club.
Then he never hits, and we've got money
to bet on it.

The PemnfIess Man.

Blessed is the man who is penniless,
for he is never stricken-for dollar.
The deadhead annoyeth him not, neith-
er is he pursued by the book agent.
He is not grasped by the lightning-rOc
seller. The lunch fiend turneth away
from him. The trinket vender passeth
him by. He is not asked to invest in
church lotteries.
He hath no friends to ''treat;" he is
poor and hath no enemies.
When he riseth in the morning his
stomach is not rebellious from over-feed-
ing; neither does he chink his silver and
say, Chow shall get rid of these dimes?"
When he eateth he is not vexed by
multitude of dishes.
His lands will never take unto them
selves wings, neither viii the fire devour
his water lots.
He is not perplexed about taxes, neith-
er careth he for the rise in lumber.
He toileth not for gold, nor orateth like
Jones on silver.
He hath no ties for money, therefore
careth not to demonetize, nevertheless q
dime will he not refuse, nor turn away
from f1ve-center.
Yea, gerkiy will he relish, and storm
the out-works of steel-clad biscuit.
He loveth none but himself; he is sell
fish; yea, fond of fish, CLAIMS in chowder,
oysters raw, and Holsters in vinegar he
will not despise.
He maketh his lair in a bar-room; he
sQuatteth on a keg while it is day, and
! sleepeth in barrel at night.
| Where the scent of whisky is, there he
is found ) he snuffeth the lunch with fren-
| w, and crieth Ha! ha! at the chink OF
| glasses. He liveth like ring-tailed moke'
and dfeth like spotted jehosaphat.

ahothef oeLl-puneh into requisition and
tax the sale of spurious and malt liuuor,
in the District, was introduced vesterda,,
in the Senate by Mr.. Ingalls,, of Kansas
1t provides that after the passage of the
act the District Commissioners shall caus.
to be constructed bar-roo1n reoistare
These registers are to be given the Dis
trfct treasurer, who shall cause them tn
be placed in all drinking places In the
District. There are to be two kinds of
registers, one for spurious and the other
for malt liquors. 1t is the duty of the
treasurer TO see that these registers are
kept in good working order. After plac-
ing the registers in each bar-room or
place where liquors are sold in the Dis
trict the bill requires barkeepers, imme-
diately upon the sale of each drink Of
wine, ardent spirits, malt liquors, or any
mixture thereof, in the presence of the
purchaser or the person to whom it is de-
livered, to touch the lever of the proper
register until the alarm has struck once
and the indicator on the dial has moved
one point or number for such drink sold
by him. The intent of the bill is that the
sale of every drink shall be the basis or
unit of taxation. When the register is
placed in any drinking place the proprie-
tor thereof shall pay the treasurer OF the
District ten dollars for the use thereof,
and shall pay an amount equal to two
and a-half cents upon all drinks of aIco-
hOlic or spiritous liquors, and half
cent upon each drink of malt liquor sold
by him. The register known as the
s'Johnson Register is adopted to carry
out the provisions of the act. Penalties
are affixed for failure to use the register
or any tampering Herewith. The bill
was referred to the Committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia.-Wa Washington Union.

The annual mneting of the stockhold-

Valley Railway Company, was held at
the General Office in this city, Tuesday.
The old Board of Directors was reelected
as follows:
Thomas D. Messler, Pittsburgh.
George b. Roberts, Philadelphia.
Charles Moran, New York.
james Buckingham, Zanesville.
NJ. Churchill, GAINESVILLE.
G.. W. Adams, Dresden.

by electing Thos. D. Messler President,

The report of Supt. Waite, compre-

for the very good reason that the balance
has for some time past appeared on the
other side of the ledger. The increase in
earnings for the year 1877 over 1876, was
$44 ,414.76. The road has been fully main
tanned in all of its departments, and dur

business, this increase in the earnings OF
the G. & NJ. V. Railway, is all the more
gratifying. The ratio of expenses tc

for two days, they are saying can l come
Timmy's voice went on a little while, like
a note from a harp-string in the window
that is lost then heard again, as the wind
sinks or swells. Then the music of the
voice ceased.
The next day, while Biddy was sitting
by mis- bed, Timmy looked up and said =
Did you think it was strange what saw
yesterday? And yet it was just so. I saw
father and mother, the little baby, too,
and Jesus, my star, seemed to grow big
ger, till it was door of light. That was
the way they came, shall go that way.
Two days, they said, must say. That
will be Christmas. Ishould like to go to
them. Wonder if the Christmas star was
as beautiful as that?' And he pointed
with finger slender and worn and white
at the shining place in the roof.
Christmas morning came, bright, beau
tiful winter day. 1t had been showing in
the night. On many hOuse-roofs were the
white prints of the feet of Timmy's an
gels; and Idoubt not the Bethlehem mes
sengers went further and folded their
wings in many homes. Timmy knew
about this, for there was a footprint on
his own floor, beneath the crack in the
roof. There came, too, over the house
tops soft murmuring notes from distant
chime-bells, and to Timmy's ear they
sounded like strains from the choir above
the distant Bethlehem hills. 81 shall be
with them soon,' he said pointing up
And l shall go that way, looking toward
his star.
Sure the blessed Lord left the door
bit open, and purer soul than he could
not slip in said Biddy to Mistress Crow
ley, as they watched every motion.
Timmy was looking up. Suddenly the
look of pain went from his face. A beau
tiful smile came over it, as when clouds
part and show the shining peaceful sky
above. He raised his hands toward his
star, whispered 'coming!' and stole away.
The fond, faithful souls there wept over
him, as if he were their child; but tears
could not bring him back. To their kisses
the marble face made no reply, but still
retained its smile.
The next day but one shabby hearse
crawled along the street. Two women in
borrowed black walked on the sidewalk
Biddy Flanagan and Mistress Crowley
On the little coffin in the dark hearse they
had placed an evergreen star they had
bought-something to suggest life and
light in that dark place. On they went,
the women trudging along, the hearse
slowly crawling on. 1t was weary way
to the cemetery and then long walk to
the 'paupers' lot AS for Timmy, there
was no trudging, no WEAKNESS, no pain,
no poverty. He had reached the star he
had followed so patiently and lovingly.

CITIZENS of Minnesota generally will be
gratifed at the increase of business shown
by the annual report of the Northern Pacific
railroad, given in our telegraphic columns.
The net increase of receipts over last year
amounts to $169,381, and the sales of land
have amounted to nearly three-quarters of a
million acres. These figures merely suggest
how great has been the development of that
part of Minnesota traversed by this road,
and indicate still better things when the vast
extent of farming lands entered for settle
ment shall be improved and cultivated.

The Missouri Republicans will meet in
State convention early next month. The
Globe Democrat says of it,
The purpose is not so much to nominate can
didates for office as to formulate and crystalize
the opinion of the Republican party the
issues of the day. There must be no halt or
step backward on the subjects Of currency and
resumption but bold, strong stand for hon
est money and the payment of all honest debts.
Precisely. A lot of men, hopelessly in the
minority, propose to formulate and crys-
talize opinion for the government of the
majority. tits the Republican idea undoubt-
edly, but fortunately the people have come
to the conclusion that the majority propose
to formulate and crystalize public opinion.
Minority opinion is at discount.

w. D. Washburn, c. G. Washburn and the
Christians are the largest mill owners and
millers in Minneapolis. The Minneapolis
Millers' Association was suggested and or
ganized by the Washburns, and
as G. G. Washburn is alb
sent from Minneapolis much of the
time, W. D. has been the leading advisory
member. Christian, practical miller, is
the Washburn manager and their active rep
resentative in the plundering ring.
We have not taken the trouble to oscertain
whether Bill Washburn's individual name is

matter of fact, we have no doubt both he

having more than double the milling capacity
of any mill men in Minneapolis, stand as
the very head and front of the gang of
plunderers, and no lying can relieve them. tits
a very simple thing to dodge the question of
formal membership, but the practical test is
to determine who profits by this robbery. Is
it the buyer, the Secretary of the Millers'
Association, the nominal member of the

who buys the wheat at the low price and OBJ
tains the money for the flour which it pro-

Ex-TREAsURER SPINNER settles q long
pending controversy by asserting that the
1880 treasury notes were in circulation as
currency during the war. These notes, he
says, were paid out of the treasury by mil
lions to paymasters and quartermasters, for
the payment of troops and purchase of pro-
visions. That they were in circulation for a
long time as money, and that many of them
were well worn when they came to the treas
ury, recol1ect WELL In the cash accounts
of the treasury they were not carried as
currency, because they were convertible and
interest bearing" 1t will be seen, therefore,
that the contraction of the currency accomp-
llshed since the war is greater by $l42, 900, 900
than has been generally supposed. How
much of the hard times can be traced to this
contraction no one can at present tell.
