Wanted to Spread.

YESTERDAY, Solomon Glass, a col
i ored man, whose experience in
agricultural pursuits has enlightened
his neighborhood, came to town with q
view of getting a divorce from his wife.
When asked upon what grounds he re-
piled:
"Sufficient is de grounds ob dis occa-
sion. When 1 rented ten acres and
worked one mule L married 'oman
suitable for de occasion. Now rent
sixty acres of Lam and work five mules.
My fust wife is mighty good ten acre
wife, but she don't suit de occasion OBJ
sixty acres. / needs 'oman that can
spread more" .,....t.
When told by lawyer that the
grounds were not sufficient, he remark
ed:
" ! kin produce de histry to show
whar I'm careek. rs learned man
and kin read clar around de majority OBJ
colored gentlemen an great many
white fellers. De reason belongs to de
French histry, an though / doesn t
speak French, talks about it. You
know Napoleon fust married Josephine

"Yes," answered the lawyer, "but
you may become trife too historically

" OATS all right. An you know dat
when he got up to de head OBJ de guber-
ment, an had charge OBJ all de commits

A REAL ROMANCE.

ON hot July day In summer of 1874,
~ a boy of perhaps fifteen or sixteen
years, weary and footsore, was making
his way along the dusty highway that
passes the farm of Ex-Representativ
David E. Croan, four miles north of
Anderson, Indiana. Espying hands at
work in harvest field near by, he tim
idly approached and asked to work for
something to eat. Mr.. Croan's son
William took him to the house, where
his mother gave him bountiful dinner.
Mr.. Croan then set him to work, and
finding him willing and industrious,
employed him to work. The boy could
give but little account of himself. The
first he remembered of himself was
travelling from place to place with his
parents, as he supposed them to be,
called gypsies. After travelling about
for five or six years the, family finally
settled down near Newcastle, Henry
county, Indiana. There, after enduring
hardships and cruelties, he determined
to run away from. his wretched sur
roundings. One evening after receiving
terrible beating from his father he
grew desperate, and after dark stole
away, going north, and sleeping the
latter part of the night near the mounds.
The next day he made his way to
Croan's, and here found comfortable
home for several months. Since that

neighborhood; always being econom-
ical and saving in his habits, and laying
up quite sum of money.
A few weeks since he determined to
go back to Newcastle and visit the
home of his former mis- cries in order to
see his sister, to whom he was warmly
attached. From his sister, who was
much older than him, he. heard won-
derful story! She told him his name
was not Hiram Britney, as he supposed,
but Hiram Triford; that the Britneys
had stolen him when he was but six or
seven years of age from his mother, q
widow, by the name of Triford, living
near Angola, Steuben county, Indiana.
His mother made every effort to find
him. The country was secured; the
river was dragged; advertisements were
inserted in the newspapers of the day,
but all to no avail, and the mother
finally gave up the search as hopeless,
and settled down to endure as best she
could the horrible agony and doubt
surrounding her child's disappearance.
From that time on up to three weeks
since, period of sixteen years, no
tidings had been received of the lost
child. Young Britney or Trlford, as we
shall hereafter call him, on hearing thi

Fools That Buy Soap.

A Wisconsin peddler assured each
purchaser of cake of soap that, on
using it until the centre was reached, a
$40 note would be found therein. The
buyers cut the cakes open, and found no
money. The swindler was arrested. He
argued that the complainants, by cut
ting into the soap instead of using it in
the ordinary way, had violated the
terms of the sale, and therefore could
not legally proceed against him. The
Justice ruled that the defense was sound
and discharged the prisoner. Aa

Judge LowelI's Revised Edition
 of his Draft of a National Bank rupt Law, now before Congress

The first edition of this proposed law wns sent by eommmittee of merchants to commercial associations. registers in bankruptcy. and many others interested in the subject, with request for their criticisms. The answers received were highly favorable to tho general plan of the proposed bill, but many valuable sug- gestlons were made in matters of detail. These are incorporated in this edition, excepting when they seemed to be either already provided for by authoritative de- eisions under the old act, or more proper rules and orders.
 The most important of tho changes made in this edition Is an increase of the powers of the registers, who are virtually made judges, in the first instance. of nearly all matters In bankruptcy. It is of tho utmost consequence that due pro- vision should be made for bringing the courts of bankruptcy within easy reach of the parties having business in them. One serious objection to the working of the
 
 and their lawyers were obliged to go to find a court of Bankruptcy.
 Registers are made salarled officers. It Is considered very important that regis ters should be paid by salary rather than by feos.
 Assignoes receive no fees, but only such compensation as the creditors shall au- thorize and the court approve.
 The entire system of fees Is abolished twith the exception of the clerks, and these restricted within safe limlts). Thus, with salaried officials, having no possible interest in encouraging delay or expense In litigation. or otherway- tho chief de- feet In all previous bankrupt laws will have been remedied.
 In tact the costs of any case iu bank ruptcy, or composition. may be closely determined in advance.
 The United States never had bank. rupt law constructed with any regard whatever, to the peculiar needs of this country. but always only hurried glcan ings from the Legislation O. England; anc this fact seems to be recognized In thi. Bill recently written by Judge Lowell.
 We realize that 1t is not possible te write bankruptcy bill which shall be al once entirely perfect and entirely satis factory; nor may we hope soon to reach that desired result.
 Bankruptcy legislation, after centuri es of honest earnest, intelligent study, is to day only slowly working towards perfec tion.
 In the meantime, this country, not less than any other needs-alwsys maintained the very best there Is to be had, to b, steadily held for everyday use, and i'm proved upon from time to time. until i reaches the distant day of perfection.

She Had the Proofs.

The other evening a Detroit
joker slipped a pink love-letter
into the pocket of a staid old
citizen as they were riding on
the street car. OF course the
old citizens wife made a dive
for his ovcrcoat pockets as she
passed through the hall, and
when she had digested the let
ter she determined to commit
suicide. While going up stairs
after her bonnet she got.mad
and changed her mind. Walk
ing into the room where he sat
before a cheerful fire, she ex-
claimed:
gloves you better than her
own life, eh?"
"Who--what?" he inquired.
"And she wants to know how
that bald headed wife of yours
is getting along, eh?"
81 reallY-I can't"
"And she wants $50 to buy
her a set of rurs, does she?"
"Why, Mary-why, what are
you talking about?"
ooh! it's come ont--Fve got
the proofsl' she shouted MAX
ing a dash for his hair.
The worthy man has sworn
the most solemn oaths to his in
nocence; offered to let her en-
ploy a detective to shadow him;
accounted for every hour of his
absence during the last year,
and furnished fifty theories in
regard to the letter, and the
wife coldly remarks that she is
staying there solely on the chill
dren's account.

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston will
retire from public life at the end
of his present term. He has re-
ceived many letters from Vir-
ginia asking him to reconsider
and remain in Congress, but he
peremptorily declines a renomi-
nation. He could get it without
even asking, but Washington
life does not suit him. He says
he owes much of the activity
and vigor Of his old age to out
door life, and he finds the duties
of a member Of Congress too
combining.
