Domestic Life in Pennsylvania.

OOme9C1c A11o In 1euusyAVou16.
There is a good deal of romance to
the acre in the farming lands near
Wilkesbarre. A middle aged rustic,
who had been smitten with the charms
of saloon keepers wife, recently bought
out the husbands rights for $75 in hand
paid, receiving a bill of sale and quit
claim deed. Hot drinks were ordered
all around, dinner was served, and the
farmer drove the whole party home.
Not long afterward the woman who had
been sold went riding three times with
a physician, and the farmer demanded
back his money. She had no money in
her house, but there was two year old
colt in the barn, and so she told the
farmer to take the colt and !" call it
square. The farmer tied the colt to
his sleigh and drove briskly to his lone
some hearth. Meanwhile, the husband
who had sold his wife made love to his
neighbours daughter and run away with
her to New York. The doctor now
gees out riding with the former owner of
the colt; the farmer wears his old clothes
and never shaves; and the saloon-keeper
and his fugitive bride have vanished
from the sight of all gossips.

The Cattle Trade. .

The Canadian government has prohibited
the importation of American cattle for a
period of three months and strepg pres.
sure is being brought to bear in Great Brit.
ain to secure the passage of like structure.
Cattle exporters and butchers in New York
characterize the story of disease among cat.
tie received from the west as simply non
sense, and say of the Canada prohibition
for three months that as cattle are most
likely shipped there from Montreal, water
transportation is closed and business is sus-
pended, and during the time of prohibition
the Canadians will be enabled to dispose
of their distillery fed cattle. Governor
Cullom, of Illinois, telegraphed President
Hayes on the 9Th inst, saying that the &C.
ton of the British government in respect
to cattle shipments works great prejudice to
cattle raisers in the northwest, where cattle
are in excellent condition, and suggesting
that it is of vital importance that these facts
be presented in such form as to counteract
the influence of false reports. The presi.
dent responded asfollows: "The secretary
of state has made full statements as to the
false reports about the cattle disease TO the
British government"

The Arrears of Pensions.

General Rice, chairman of the committee
on pensions, has had several interviews
with Commissioner Bentley as to the neces-
sary legislation to carry out the provisions
OF the arrears of pensions act. OF course,
time will be required to examine claims
presented, and, with the facilities at his dis
posa], the commissioner thinks no more
than ten million dollars will be required
for claims adjusted during the coming year.
The committee has informally considered,
and will probably report a bill accepting
that amount for the purpose. Should
claims be more rapidly adjusted, provision
for their payment can be made on the meet
ing of congress in December.

Another Story OF Caleb Cushing.
Concerning Caleb Cushing it is
chronicled that when first as an am
bilious young lawyer he entered the
Massachusetts legislature, he was eager
to exhibit his ability in speeches One
day he deliberately ridiculed another
member, q rough, uhcultivated, dog
matte old farmer, to whose quaintness
members generally were disposed to
defer. The old gentleman was amazed
and angry, at Qushing,s attach, but kept
his seat until the young man got through.
Then he rose. walked over to Gushing,
shook his hand in his face, and said:
"What do you mean, young man, by
abusing me in this way? If you cont
look out, We won't have you here,
.peaking your piecesr' These last three
words were 50 palpable a hit upon Mr..
Cushing's oratorical style, they were
spoken so contemptuously, that the
whole house laughed and the old farmers
triumph was complete.
