"a SMART 'UN."-One of our friends has
a bright little boy who behaves for all the
world like other children-which in a
child is virtue, not vice. The other after
noon he played so hard that he fell asleep,
and was put to bed without his supper. The
next morning "Harry' got up very much

to his breakfast as smiling and happy as

I am sure there is only one answer. 1t is now.

own, and up to this morning it was the best
day of all. l would not, however, live it

PLAYFUL SHEEP.-George Washington
Sloan had passed hard winter, but he had
an abiding faith it would be better soon. 1t
had been hard winter on colored people
generally. George Washington Sloan had
worked many day for farmer Rankin, and
felt an air of observation-disclosures on the
Rankin farm. Farmer Rankin had been
missing sheep and lambs ever since cold
weather came on, and on this particular
moonlight night he saw something at long
range which looked suspiciously like man
with sheep on his back. He rested his
persuader on the top rail of the fence, and
reached for the poacher. When the smoke
lifted, the lamb was making double-quick
across the field to the barn yard, and
the farmer had George Washington by the
cuff of the neck. "Pon my soul" the negro
was saying, "dem is very playful sheep oh

AN ENORMOUSLY RICH C1TY.-Frank.
rt-on.the-Main, now containing popula-
ton of about 100000, is reputed to be the
richest city of its size in the whole world.
If its wealth were equally divided among its
inhabitants, every man, woman, and child
would have, it is said, 10000 marks, or some
$4,000 apiece. There are, as may be sup
posed, a good many very poor people in the
town !; but the citizens are, as whole, in un'
usually comfortable circumstances, more so,
probably than the citizens Of any other cap
ital in Germany or Europe. 1t is asserted
that there are one hundred Frankforters
worth from 100000 to S5,000,O00 each,
and two hundred aud fifty who are worth
100000 and upward. The city is one Of
the great banking centres of the globe. Its
aggregate banking capital is estimated at
$20O,0OO,00O, more than one fourth of which
the famous Rothschild, whose original parent
house is there, own and control. The annual
transactions in bills of exchange are in excess
$1OO,OOO,OO0 Its general trade and manu-.
featuring industries have greatly increased
since the formation of the German Empire,
to which Frankfort was originally averse,
being free city and an opponent Of Prussia
until coerced, in July, 1866, by General Won
Falckenstein, who entered it at the head of
an army and imposed a fine Of 2l,OOO,0OO
forms for its insubordination.

Poor BUT REsPEcrABLE.-This is the way
it is played: A man past the prime of life,
poorly dressed, and having mournful quiver
in his voice, takes two old oyster cans, partly
fills them with sand, does them up in neat
shape, and selecting house, he calls the lady
to the door, and says:
MADAM, I'm old and poor, but I'm not a
thief I found these oyster cans on the street
and won't you be good enough to keep them
until the owner calls?"
"Why, the owner may never call" replies
the lady.
"That's so but I'm not able to buy milk
and crackers even if 1 had oysters you'd
better keep them awhile any how. 1fno one
comes, the cans are yours"
Sometimes the old man makes quarter,
and sometimes only bite to eat The owner
does not arrive, and the family prepares for
fried oysters for supper. When the paper is
torn off, some folks laugh-and some don't
Some say they'll hunt over every rod Of
ground in the United States, but that they
will find the old man and make him eat the
last grain of sand and the cans to boot.
WHAT MAKES THEM HUM.-Most boys
believe that the humming sound made by the
telegraph wires is caused by the messages hur
rying along to their destination. Most men
believe that this sound is caused by the vibra-
ton of the wire in the wind. A writer in an
Australian journal, however, calls attention
to the fact that one who gives close observa-
tion to both the wire and sounds will find that
the latter make themselves obvious likewise
when there is total absence of wind and in
a quiet morning in winter, when the wires ap-
pear covered with frost to the thickness of a
finger, they nevertheless carry on lively vi
brations and swinging, while the air is totally
quiet According to this writer, therefore, the
vibrations are due, not to the wind, but to the
changes of atmospheric temperature, and es-
pecially through the action Of cold, as low,
ering Of the temperature induces shortening
of the wires, extending over the whole length
of the conductor A considerable amount of
friction is produced on the supporting bells,
thus inducing sound, both in the wires and
the poles.

Many of the citizens of Jackson have
demanded of us to speak of certain
transaction that took place at the Court
House on last Friday afternoon. We
were in the Court House at the time,
and did not see it. We are informed
that when the steam fire engine COM
menced operations, hundreds of persons
crowded upon the Court House steps,
and in the hall, when the hose, throwing
water with great force, was turned direct
ly upon the crowd. They had no room
to retire, as the hall was crowded. Many
of the women of Athens were wet all
over, and their clothing ruined. What
must the people of Athens think of a
town that tolerates such Doors in their
fire company? Some time ago we saw
these men turn the hose upon some
children on the pavement and wet them
all over. We give these men notice
that if they ever throw water upon us
when we are where we have right to be
we will have them arrested for assault
and battery. A few days at work on the
streets, fastened to ball and chain,
would teach them prudence, if not sense
and decency.

THE UBIQUITOUS DARKEY.

The way the Democratic managers
have been parading the colored man
around, has been sufficient to cause feel
ing of uneasiness in the Republican
breast. There was a colored Democrat
over at Athens, working for the success
of the Democratic ticket Last fall there
was one in Jackson, electioneering for
the Democrats, and only last week, there
was one made speech at the Democrat
ic State Convention. We had begun to
think this thing was getting serious,
when the thought suddenly struck us
that this was the same colored man at
all these places. The Democrats keep
him as sort of "nest egg" They like
to show him. But he isn't pretty, and
he always looks at such places. as though
he was ashamed of his company It's a
splendid showing for the colored race
that in all the great State of Ohio but
ONE can be found mean enough to appear
in public as Democrat.
