WALTER c. SMITH,

a civil engineer of over thirty years
standing-had made recent survey, by
request OF Mr.. Lamb, OF the land adjoin
ing the west end of Twentieth street,
west of Water. A plat was exhibited
showing the results of his survey, which
was entered as evidence by the defend
ant. The plat showed the position of
the north tract of land, for which con-
demnaton is prayed for by the F., w.
& Ky. Company. 1t was shown by Mr..
Smiths testimony that the land desired
by the F., w. & ny. Co. is partially
within the edges of the buttress of the
b. & o. bridge over the creek. Several
deeds and plats were given in evidence,
going to show that lot No. IS, south Of
Twentieth street and east of Water, is
but 20 feet in length, while lot No. 81,
east of 2S, is 50, and that, therefore,
there is DETECTION in Twentieth street
which brings the line thereof ten feet
further south. The plaintiff objected to
this testimony, but the objection was
overruled, whereupon the plaintiff filed
an exception.
Before Mr.. Smiths testimony in con-
nection with these documents had been
ELECTED, Court adjourned until this
morning at Q o'clock.

He MRDIrATEs OVER THE OYSTERS
1t was rather late yesterday morning when
Mr.. Willaby got up, and he was vague
ly conscious of a confused recollection of
things, but he didn't say much and tried
to appear as cheerful as he knew how
Presently breakfast was announced, and
the family took their places at the table,
but Mr.. Willaby was amazed, as he sat
staring at six little round wooden boxes
of axle grease ranged solemnly in front of
his plate
"Where under the sun, he said, with
a puzzled intonation, "what in thunder
where did all this axle grease come
from and what is it for:'
"Oh, is it axle grease asked his
wife, with charming simplicity and inno-
cence Just triAe overdone. You said
last night when you brought these cans
home that they were oysters and would
be nice for breakfast, | thought you
had better eat them right away, as they
didn't smell as though they would keep
very much longer"
And then Mrs. Willaby removed the
cans and her husband sat and looked at
the teapot and thought so long that his
coffee was cold as a rich relation when
he thought to drink it.-Ioledo Blade.

THE FORGETFUL HUSBAND.
A DOMESTIC SKETCH.

ooh dear what shall do: The hoop
has burst off my wash-tub, and my suds
is all over the floor" said Mrs. Alden, in
tone of dependency, to her husband,
as he came in to wash his hands at the
sink, after oiling his new horse-rake.
That is bad, Jenny. You will have
to let your washing 90 till tomorrow ;
then YOU can borrow Mrs. Selden's tub. -
But this will all fall to pieces if it
stands, and we are expecting company
tomorrow.
Il can't help it; can't stop the work
to 90 off with it now You must make
hay when the sun shines if you do at all.
Can't you tie it up. so that it will do to-
day: l should think you might
perhaps SO, if you will help me.
What can take"
"Oh, anything for this time; but real
ly ought not to stop minute. Where
is your clothes-line =
The colored clothes are on it, to
dry"
Hang them on the fence and let's
have it quick"
So Mrs. Alden trotted out and moved
her clothes and took the line down, while
Mr.. Alden stood in the door and whis-
tied impatiently.
"Do mop up this water, Jenny. How
can YOU stand in such puddle: There,
| forgot to get YOU new mop-handle, but
you can make it go today, can't you; :"
Il suppose | shall have to. You
promised to get one three weeks ago,
when you broke this.
Il know | did, but | never think of it
"a man has so many things to see to.
There, that will go this week; it doesn't
leak much. | don't see what made ii
break"
"The hoop rusted out. The old tub
has done good service; it has been in use
Is years"
"There, confound it! What did you
leave the wash-board there for, l have
broken it all to pieces"
at is worn out and rotten. wish
you would get me new one. | can
never tinker it up again"
Rub your clothes with your hands
my mother always did, and she never had
a washboard in her life.
Alden marched off to the hay field, be-
fore he met with another catastrophe tc
take up his time.
He was hardly out of sight before q
tin peddlers cart stopped at the door
containing a collection of all articles used
in family, from wash-tubs down tc
brooms, mops and pins.

A PAINFUL SCENE.

The other morning while seven or
eight old and reliable citizens were hold
ing down chairs and boxes in Michigan
avenue grocery, and unanimously agree
ing that this was the greatest country on
earth, a stranger entered and said
Gentlemen, | suppose you are all IA
miliar with politics."
ave are they replied in chorus.
"And you know all about the funda-
mental principles of liberty
1--WE do"
"Well, I'm glad of it, for I've made a
bet with fellow back here as to how the
reading of the Constitution begins. One
of you just write me down the first ten
words.
While he felt for stub of pencil
every man began scratching his head and
cautiously cycling his neighbor. One
began muttering: "Now lay me-
and a second said something about "Re-
solved, and a third wrote on the top OF
a cracker box: "On motion, it was vot-
ed that-that-' There was a great
deal of coughing and sneezing and
and nose blowing, when boy came
in and said the strangers horse had
run away. He rushed out, and seven
faces frightened up and smiled, and seven
men took fresh chews of tobacco and
tried not TO look too important when the
grocer said:
The Constitution? Why, every one
of you can repeat it by heart with your
eyes shut-of course we can.

4 NOVEL INSTITUTION.

There exists in Denmark a singular
institution, established mainly for the
benefit of the daughters of the nobility.
When a man of wealth is blessed by the
birth of daughter, he causes her to be
enrolled at this institution, paying a very
small sum, with fixed annual payment
of a moderate amount When the young
girl reaches the age of twenty-one she
not only finds herself in possession of a
very nice little income, but she has a
right to occupy and enjoy fine apart
ment, well furnished, in an elegant house,
with parks and gardens, and her COM
panions will be ladies young or old, who
are members of the association. 1t is
not obligatory upon member to reside
longer at the chateau or more frequently
than suits her convenience. If the faith
er dies and the young girl IS unprotected
she has an asylum at once, even if the
subsequent annual subscriptions are not
liquidated, and when she attains her
majority her annual income commences.
If she should die or contract marriage
her interest in the association passes to
the general fund. If she should be mar
ried when she is twenty all that is paid
by her father accrues to the association,
and it is this source of income that enables
the institution to demand only a small
annual subscription, which renders it
easy for father to meet the demand,
with the assurance that if his daughter
cannot be married without a marriage
portion, she will at least be in the enjoy
ment of a comfortable home for life.
This institution has been prosperous
at Copenhagen for sixty years. The
features of the plan are somewhat singu-
lar, and not adapted to this country in
some particulars, but the plan of COM
mencing with the birth of daughter to
provide for the old age of the infant is
rather commendable. 1t is life insurance
to the very letter.

COT HIS INFORMATION.

An interesting scene which illustrates
the ignorance of the peripatetic Green
back Orator, occurred at the meeting at
Union, on the 30th. When Mr.. Reed
began to speak, Mr.. Wilder Washington
Perry and Mr.. +. F. Pierce, who had
advertised to reply the next day, took
front seats ostentatiously and began to
take notes on paper in their hats. While
Mr.. Reed was explaining the National
Bank System, the Greenback Orator
Pierce got uneasy, and finally stood on
his hind legs, and said he wanted to ask
question, "for information" "Well." "
said Mr.. Reed, "if you sincerely wish
information, l shall be most happy to
answer"
"You say" says the Greenbacker,
"that the banks can bank on per cent.
bonds" "Yes, replied Mr. Reed. "Well," "
said Pierce, Il thought they couldn't; l
thought Mr.. Garfield tried to get reso-
luton through and failed. "Of course
they can" said Mr. Reed; sat this very
moment some banks are holding back
their called bonds, and going without
any interest at all, in hopes the four per
cents. will fall, so that they can buy
them cheaper" "Oh WELL" said the
exhausted orator, 81 only ask for infor-
nation" YES" said Reed, turning to
the amused crowd, "if this man will on
ly keep on applying for information to
those who know. he will be spared heap
of trouble, and especially the trouble Of
making his little speech tomorrow night.
Oxford Democrat. [volume] (Paris, Me.) 1833-1933, 1879-08-12

At this the crowd applauded, and the
young orator being little stung, returned
to the charge. "Well," says he, 81
want to state that | have the law in
my satchel, which says that banks can
not bank on less than five per cent.
bonds" "Iaw in his satchel" says
Reed, "If this gentleman only had less
law in his satchel and more in his head,
he would be much more useful and re-
liable citizen The crowd laughed and
Mr.. Pierce sank into his seat with a
sickly smile and remained silent until the
proceedings were over. when he and
Wilder Washington left their chairs and
sadly moved away. As for the notes
they took in their hats, the crowd thought
that if they took them honestly they had
more in their hats than they ever had
before .-Rockidnd Gazette.

THE MAID AND THE LEAF.
A JAPANESE IDEA.

4 dead leaf drifted along the snow,
poor brown leaf with edges torn;
Now here, now there, blown high and low,
An outcast and thing of scorn.
Alas Alas
50 life drifts on 70 hearts forlOrn.
Once in bower. fresh and bright,
Kissed by the sun-rays ana the dew,
4 maid 20 fee the hot suns might
Prone on the ground her fair limbs threw
To sleep, 10 sleep,
And dream OF some one that she knew
She slept and dreamed horrid thing
That hc she loved from her would stray
And starting up. deep sorrowing.
Resolved 20 seek him out that day.
Alas Alas
Twas AL too uue-hed ded away
Her last love token-just a leaf
OF sycamOrc-love's emblem bright
She threw away then prayed that grief
Might bear her on from mortal sight
AlaSl Alas
While the dead leaf drited thro' the night

Thus ended the lives of two of the
pioneers of northwestern Maine, men of
fortune, who could have lived at their
ease in their native England, but who
came to this country to give their chill
