esterday," said II gentleman 10 II
Neos reporter, resumption began. BY
the way, we've learned something about
money in this country during the past
twenty years. | remember 1857 with
its wildcat banks and its generally
crazy system of banking. Banks were
established III ou,oi-the-way places,
and bank paper was plenty. The late
Andrew Wilson had a bank at Nash
Vile, in NE wi!ds of Brown county,
more than twenty miles, across hills and
the ruggedest roads, from any railway
One day Mr.. Wilson casually learned
that large amount Of his bills had been
gobbled up in Cincinnati, and carpet
Dagger would sweep down on him in n
few days for coin. The time was too
brief to allow him to get gold or silver,
and ne was in great trouble. The dread
ed visitor appeared at the bank, and n,
the same time happy thought came
to the banker. Leaving his clerk to
engage the stranger, he rushed out, went
up flight Of back stairs into the office
of the only notary in the town, and
finding that functionary out, he pocket
ed the notarial seal and walked off, lie
then boldly refused payment, and the
stranger took the paper out to lind n
notary and make the proper protest.
No seal, and with this important attach
ment to the legal red tape absent moth
thing could be done, 80 it would require
at least week 20 communicate with
Indianapolis and replace the lost seal.
So the carpet-bagger ambled of, and

1t seemed that he must be some great

When u board of eminent physicians
and chemists announced the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine WAS produced, which would
cure such wide range of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis

proof of its merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt, and to-day the dig

at the door Of the state senate one day
last week to announce that the house
was ready for a joint convention, and
had reached the middle of his speech,

on with his announcement, amid much
laughter.

Uses Of Fiction.

Three functions of fiction L conceive to
exist -I',struction, rendered more palat-
able than it might otherwise be by a
coating of figure and strophe; the con-
veyance of moral teaching, by means of
the oldest known form of illustration,
the fable, by which the mind is attracted
to the entertainment, or at least consid-
Grafton, of truths arranged in pleasant
garb, from the bare presentation of
which it would turn away in indiffer-
ence or disgust; and amusement, pure
and simple. Let it be here remarked
that people are to apt to esteem this last
the only or at least the most important
function of fiction.
These are no arbitrary distinctions !;
the first two are founded ON Biblical
precedent and authority, for our blessed
Lord made use of fiction in the convey
anee both of instruction and moral teach
ing. Witness the parallels of the talents,
the virgins, the fig tree, the sower, Peters
vision of the sheet, the drag-pet and the
grain of mustard seed. The third func-
ton, while l would not esteem it the
greatest, neither do lesson its import
ance as compared with the others. The
. mind of man can no more keep up a
strain of labor without cessation, than
his feet and hands can bebound, Sisyph-
us-like, to unremittent tasks. So in
structions must interchange with amuse-
ment, and to lead a healthy moral and
intellectual life our reading should be
chequered after this manner.

Four Beaten Reporters.

At the opening of the electlOneering
campaign that resulted in Abraham
Lincoln's elevation to the Presidency of
the United States, the Hon. w. l..
Lancy, then on his way to the Balti-
more convention, accepted an invitation
to address the electors at an agricultural
fair In a small town. m
The Baltimore newspapers determin-
ed to furnish their readers with the ver-
batim of Mr. Lancy's speech, and five
reporters left that city by morning
train for junction station, where they
hoped to catch another train bound for

Feeble Ladies'.

Those languid, tiresome sensations,
causing you to feel scarcely able to be
on your feet that constant drain that is
taking from your system all its elastici-
ty driving the bloom from your cheeks;
that continual strain upon your vital
forces, rendering you irritable and fret
full, can easily be removed by the use of
that marvellous remedy, Hop Bltters.--

the fair ground. AS they travelled along
they entered into an agreement not to
take any unfair advantage Of one an
other, no matter what opportunity for
doing SO might present itself. They ar
rived at junction too late for the con-
Meeting train, and were In difficulty as
to getting over the intervening half doz-
EN- miles Of country. They went pros-
pecting, four thin scribes hurrying In
advance Of a veritable Falstaff. At last
they espied an old-fashloned wagon
drawn by lean horse, and In few
minutes the treacherous four were en-
sconsed In the vehicle, filling IL COM
pletely. In vain did the man of fat re-
mind them of the agreement; his ex-
postulations were received with derision
and the driver ordered to start.
The cheated reporter appealed to the
countryman, offering to give five dol
lars for a seat on the dashboard. The
offer was accepted, and the man slipped
down to help him up.
Stop !" whispered he II will buy
your horse for twenty-five dollars, cash
down."
Now" said the new owner of the
horse, take him out of the traces, and
help me on his back"
1t was done; and the horse and rider
were soon lost to view. Next day, only
one Baltimore paper contained a full re-
port of the speechifying at the fair and
four belated journalists had a bad time
of it with their respective editors.

newspaper displayed in the condition it

passing through the hands of the Rus

is completely obliberated. The manner
In which the Russian authorities man

run it up and down the Objectionable

Stuck In the Mud.

THE Atlanta (Ga.) Dispatch says -
i The Ordinary of Dooly County is
in a ludicrous predicament. Some time
since, beconsing alarmed at the confia-
grafton that destroyed the Court House
of Worth county, together with the
records, he purchased of Northern
firm safe sufficient to accommodate
the books and archieves of his own
county. The safe is about six feet deep,
ten feet high, and ten feet long, re-
sembling very much the one-half of
freight car, weighs some nine thou
sand pounds, and is entirely fire-proof.

PRAIRIE ROMANCES.

A N EXPERIENCED guide and prai-
IA rie traveller expressed the opinion
to the writer that there was much
larger number of people ann ually lost
upon the Western prairies than was
generally supposed. mean by lost,"
said he, "people who wander away
from well known landmarks and are
never heard of again who die of starva-
ton and that dread insanity which, gen.
orally speaking, overtakes the lost per-
son. Of course, we read now and then
of such a case, but there are many which
never meet the public prints. 1t is one
of the easiest things in the worldfor an
experienced traveller to stray away from
camp, but very different matter to find
his way back again. Once out of sight
of the wagons and tents, and the whole
plain is alike to him. He stands always
in depression, with the ground rising
slightly on all sides. 1t is an optical IL
lusion, of course, but it is very like
walking in the centre of an immense
sheet with its four corners slightly
raised. The earth meets the horizon on
every side, and presents the same un-
varying view of waving grass and gray
ish brown soil. There is not mark by
which one may be guided. To take the
sun for guide, even on perfectly clear
day, is with most persons only to inten-
sify the difficulty. Unless one is expert
in. sun guidance, he may follow that
luminary, and yet continually go round
in a circle to the left. The truth of this
isproven every year by the recovery of
people who are found to have only
traced large circle in their efforts to es-
cape, coming round and round again to
the point from which they started. The
possession of compass, moreover, sell

Pleasing the Boy.

Some days since Detroit father pur-

lad Of eight, who seemed to have consid-
erable mechanical genius, and up to date
the boy has sawed off but three table legs,
eight knobs from the bureau, bored about
one hundred holes through the doors, and
three through the piano case, and by the
aid of the glue pot he has stuck the FAM
ly supply of napkins firmly to the par
