HE WON'T WORK.

A genuine tramp is now an inmate of
the Missouri poor house. He was q doc
tor at one time of his life, but tired of
his profession and ceased practice. Then
his wife worked for him until she worked
herself to death, and then he tramped.
Believing that work wasn't healthy, he
had resolved never to work any more
His mind was fully made up ON that
subject. He did not want to steal, and
he had TO live. A poor house was what
he was looking for. The poor house
keepers told him that if he stayed there
he would have to work He thought
not. No more work for him under any
circumstances. They put him in dark
cell for twenty-four hours, to bring him
70 a sense OF his loneliness and isolation,
feeding him moderately. They piled
him with the labor question; wouldn't
work. They shut him up for twenty
four hours more. His determination re-
manned unaltered. Ten days passed,
and he still refused to work. Doctors
were called in, and found the man Sc
rene, perfectly healthy in mind and body,
and he moreover proved himself a ply
stefan by answering correctly all the
professional questions put to him. He
was stumper. They never before met
a case of laziness that forty-eight hours
of enforced idleness and darkness and
silence would not bring reaction. They
took him out and put hoe In his hand
He dropped the hoe. They tried tC
make him follow pillow. He dropped
In the furrow. So they turned him loose
among the other pauperS and find hin
useful in lecturing them on morals anC
giving them good advice. So he has hi.

MIXING BUSINESS WITH TRAGEDY.

The recent attempted assassination of
Edwin Booth recalls an incident that oc-
CURED while the tragedian was playing
his last engagement in this city, and
which is the real origin of the rumor
that he intends never to visit the Pacific
coast again.
It seems that one morning, while Mr..
Booth was making his toilet in his room
at the Palace, the door quietly opened,
and a wide-awake individual slid in and
cheerfully babe the astonished actor

':How's Hamlet to-day" said the
stranger, blandly. "Fraid you wouldn't
see me if / sent up my card, so just
$50 see," said the only Iago. "How
now, knave-unyoke! 1 mean, what
can do for you?'
"The fact is, Mr. Booth said the yisi-
tor hurriedly, Il am the advertising
agent for the Bazambees auction house,

house in the civilized world. Over 3d.

~Don't want any listers Can't look

"But don't want to sell you any, my

A CAT WITH TABLE MANNERs.-A
child in North Berbeck, Me-, has a kit
ten which has been instructed in table
manners. When called by name she
runs quickly To the side of her mistress
and demurely waits while a tiny bib,
made expressly for her, is tied around
the neck. A two-Ounce vial filled with
milk is then laid on the floor beside her,
and taking it between her paws, she
raises herself on her hind feet, puts the
bottle to her mouth, and remaining in
that position, drinks the milk; then,
laying the bottle gently down, she pa
tiently waits for her mouth to be wiped,
and for the bib to be removed, after
which she usually INDUCES in a nap.

THIS standard article is COM
pounded with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and
as satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray or faded hair to
its youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and
making the hair grow thick and
strong.
AS a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.

IT will be recollected that Secretary
Schurtz gave decision some time ago
stating that lands granted to the Pacific
railroad company We're open to preemp-
ton, unless those lands were disposed of
by the railroad company during the time
limited for such conveyance, by the act
making the grant. The contest between
the railroad company and the settlers
taking advantage of the decision was, that
the former claimed that q mortgage of
the lands to raise means for the coGstruc-
ton If the road was a conveyance of the
lands and that in consequence the title
10 these lands did not revert to the gov
eminent on account of a non compliance
on the part Of the railroad company with
the provisions of the act. Shurtz held
differently and the lands were taken by
settlers, who paid the government $3.50
per acre for those purchased. The
railroad made up a test case and took it
to the supreme court, which decided
that a mortgage was a conveyance sufi-
cient to divest the government of the
contingent title.
This decision will prove a serious mat
ter to the settlers who relied on Schurtz'
decision and paid the government for the
lands taken by them. They have made
some improvements, and they are liable
to ejectment at any time. Grave hints
are made that the railroad company have
used arguments often resorted to by
wealthy corporations-bribery, and
Schurtnis also censured for his haste in
giving an ofjnion on matters involving
interests SO senitive as to be destroyed
by an adverse decisl>n.

FIGHT a duel. being sent to Senator -ogan
bv Congressman Lowe, of Alaba-
The cause of the trouble is as follows
sontbn lall" CT Them and were , : two ,,ro or
paper --.panles from Illinois in the con-
federate service, that he had conversed
with cue of the officers and several of
sne men, and they stated to him that
they were enlisted to constitute part Of
Gen. Logan's command in the confeder.
ate service. He also said that the runor
was current in his section. Those facts
having come to Logan's knowledge. he
wrote a reply, saying that the statement
was false and slanderous. Lowe wrote
to HIM three times, asking whether
Logan had applied the terms 'sfalse and
slanderous' to him (Lowe.) Logan re
fused to receive the letters and also the /.
challenge sent. So Lowe published the |
letters. Lowe is a greenbacker, having
been elected over the democratic nomi- /
nee in an Alabama district, the repubG-
cans of the district having joined with
his party.
Logan acted wisely in disregardirg the
code, and it betokens a healthy senti-
ment when he can do so without ininrv
to his reputation. If Lowe can substan-
tiate his charges, he should set about if.
If he speaks truthfully he can without
much difficulty furnish proof of what he
has said, and h viii not then need to
'all Logan har-the people will do
ha'.
