An AMENDED PRoPosITIoN.-It
occurred in that city of whisky, wealth
and wickedness. A case was on trial
in the justices court, and during a
recess one Of the interested parties
approached a juror, and said
"Say, boss, il that ar suit goes agir
me, I'm nigh on $1,000 loser in min
in property. Now, Ill give you an
even $500 to hang that jury"
The incorruptible scion Of Ameri-
can liberty reflected a moment, and
replied;
"It'd he a cussed onsartin job for
one man to take a rope an strangle
that hull gang an I'm afraid afore |
got through | might dance jig un-
der it myself; but if it's all the same
to you, pard, l mout wade in thar
with a six-shooter an wipe out the
crowd. Thetd be more to my hand
than hangin' and the job could be
done quicker. If that's satisfactory,
produce the coin an I'll get to work.

A member of the Sanitary Police
force came across boy the other day
who was wheeling home a load of oys.
ter cans and bottles, and curious to
know what use the lad could put them
to, he made a direct inquiry;
"Going to throw them over into our
back yard, replied the boy. Il took
two loads home yesterday
"But what do you use 'em for"
ats a trick of the family" grinned
the lad.
"IIow trick ?"
I'D Just as lief tell" continued the
boy, as he spit on his hands to resume
his hold Of the barrow. "We're 60
ing to have some relashuns come in
from the country. We may not have
much to eat, but if they see these
cans and boxes, they'll think we've
had listers, champagne, figs and nuts
till we got tired Of 'em, and are living
on bread and taters for healthy
changed"
The officer scratched his ear like a
man who had received a new idea.

A farmer says; "Four years ago
my farm was fearfully infested with
rats. They were so numerous that |
had great fears of my whole crop be-
ing destroyed by them after it was
housed; but having two acres of wild
peppermint that grew in field of
wheat, cut and bound with the wheat,
it drove the rats fromlmy premises. l
have not been troubled with them
since, while my neighbors, have any
quantity of them. | feel convinced
that any person who is troubled with
these pests can easily get rid of them
by getting a good supply of mint and
placing it around the walls or base Of
their barns"

Brother Cuthbert Roach, brother Of
the Rev. Elijah Roach, many years
ago moved from Charlotte county, Va,
TO Trigg county, Ky. lie told me
when he went to the Little River As.
sociation, Kentucky, he heard lead
ing minister in that Association, and
a very good man, preach from the
following text Acts II. 40-"Save
yourselves from this untoward genera.
ton" The old gentleman pronounced
the word "untoward" as IL was Gun
lowered, and went on TO tell the au-
dience that in the days Of the Apostles
the people lived in walled cities, with
towers and battlements for their de-
Tense; that the Apostle used the word
fguratively here, to show how defense
less was that wicked generation, with
out towers Of strength, into which they
could enter and defend themselves
from the wrath Of God. Thus Il is
at the present day" said he; "the sin
ner is exposed and has no tower in
which to defend himself" And with
many other words did he testify and
exhort, saying. "Save yourselves from
this uncovered generation" As they
returned from church Brother Roach
said 10 the preacher: ibid you not
give a wrong Interpretation to the
word 'untoward' in your text to-day
by pronouncing it incorrectly He
replied, ooh, no, Brother Roach
know | am correct, for | have preach
ell that sermon at least twenty times
at different places. and the brethren
have told me il is the best sermon
they ever heard me preach" "well,
we'll, said Brother Roach, 1--WE will
see what the dictionary says as to the
meaning Of the word and It's pronunci-
alton when we get to the house. AZ
ter they looked at the dictionary, the
good old brother, with evident morti-
fication and regret, exclaimed: "Bro.
Roach, this is too bad You have
spoiled one Of my best sermons-I
shall never be able to preach it again.

A new wheat pest has made its ap.
dearance in some parts of the State,
which is said to be destroying all the
wheat wherever it appears. 1t is a
weed that has sprung up simultane-
ously with the wheat, and grows to
the same height. No one has ever
seen any thing like it before, and its
botanical classification has not yet
been determined. The people have
begun to call it "black cockle,' but
nobody knows why, as il presents no
point of resemblance to the old-iash-
ioned cookie. 1t has a white bloom

Another idol has been broken. One

vanished. When ou think that you

Potatoes, like ladies, are susceptible

For the homely tubercle and for the
fading beauty means has been found
to repair the irreparable outrage for
years. The operation may be seen
through the grating of one of the pa

and the .fewest number of persons
who would make competent jurymen
are without some knowledge aud some
impression Of the guilt or innocence
Of the party accused. Under the ru.
lings Of the courts such persons as
these are not competent TO serve upon
juries. and the consequence is, that
only the most ignorant and illiierate
are accepted. Even if those who come
into court, and who have formed or
expressed opinions, are willing 10

that they had impressions, but that
they were capable Of listening to the
testimony, and Of making up fixed

accepted.
II is said that "a wise man changes

An EXtraOriiMary Pauer.

The San Francisco Chronicle of August
9th, is an extraordinary paper. 1t was
published four days after the shooting
of |. S. Kalloch by Charles De Young,
the editor of the Chronicle. -Four of the
six editorial articles relate directly to
to that occurrence The first of these ar
ticles charges the proprietor of a rival
newspaper with having acted the assassin
and coward in an encounter years ago
with Gen. Frank P. Blair at St. Louis.
The second article charges the same news
paper with an "atrociously selfish, and
wicked, and -blooded" attempt to
make money out of a "public calamity
"Kalloch might de- says the Chronicle,
"and San Francisco be placed at the
mercy Of a mob; but these results could
be regarded with complacency, provided
they could be turned to business account
by yinjuring hated and formidable rival"
The third article ridicules the idea that
it was Denis Kcarney who prevented mob
violence after the shooting, The fourth
article returns to the proprietors of the
rival newspaper, and says of them, among
other things: "No consideration for the
common safety of all has been powerful
enough to restrain them from incendiary
work or to temper their frantic appeals
to excited men to make the purely per-
sonal affair Of Charles de Young the pre-
text for arson, pillage and murder"
