a gold chain, a revolver and a pair
of earrings, and he got drunk twice.
When reasoned with and asked to
do better he took fresh chew of
plug tobacco and replied:
"Ohi you Michigan folks are too
soft! If feller can't have a good
time what's the use of being an or
phan?"
On Monday of the second week
he sold the family dog to a stranger
for a quarter, threw the saw and AK
into the slley, and when locked up
in a closet he tore a Sunday coat to
pieces. 1t was thought best to
have policeman talk to him, and
one was called In. He put on his
fiercest look, and lectured the lamb
for fifteen minutes, but as soon as
he stopped for breath che young
sinner replied:
"Now see here, old buttons, you
are wasting time! know my little
gait, do, and if you think I've
come to a village like this to be
bluffed by anybody, you've missed
your train -
He was taken to Sundsy-school by
the hand. He hadn't been there half
an hour when he was taken out by
the collar. He seemed anxious to
punch the head of every good little
boy within half mile of him, and
he told the teacher of his class
that when she could stuff Moses in
the bulrushes down him it would be
after she had bleached out her
freckles. They gave him a Sun
day-school book to fit his case, but
he fitted it to a crack on his way
home.
When moral suasion had no eff
feet on the wicked youth his guar
dian tried the rod. He was bigger
than the boy, and he wallOped him,
but within three hours two of the
nuts were taken of his buggy and
thrown away. There was a second
seance in the woodsbed and before
dark a window glass worth eight
dollars was broken.
The orphan was faithfully, and
duly, and perslstently wrestled with.
He was licked and reasoned with.
Ambition, gratitude, fear and ava
rice were alike appealed to in turn,
but as he was the first day Iso he
was the last. A few days ago he
was told that he would be sent 10
the reform school at Lansing if
there was any further trouble with
him. That night he stole five dol
lars from the cook, butcher-k
from the pantry, a pie from the
S sdeboard, and departed the house,
leaving on his bed note reading
as follows:
"This town are no place for a
N. York orfun. I'm goin' out on
the planes to fite Injuns. 1t will be
useless to foller me, for 1 can't be
took Alive"

Andrew Jackson's s

Peculiar liking and respect for
laboring men is picturesquely shown
by a story related in the Nashville
Banner. John Cryer, a mason,
was on several occasions engaged
to build chimneys at the Hermit
age, and while at work often OBJ
served the most refined and wealthy
people of Nashville coming to visit
the General and his wife. The
good mason having more or less of
mortar ornamenting his clothes,
would say to jackson that he would
not 90 to the first table to eat-that
he was not fit to appear in such
elegant company. The General
always replied: You must go to
the first table, sir; a laboring man
ought TO be as highly honored as
any man in the community, for the
support of the world depends on
their labor. will see that you are
treated with proper respect at my
table," This story is certainly to
the credit of Jackson's democracy.
however it may be to his social
graces. Cryer, frequently laughing,
said that he had been more honor
ed than any man in the world, for
President jackson had frequently
waited on him, and brought him
brick and mortar, when his regular
attendant was out of the way.

About sixteen months ago a
child was born to John Salter and
wife, of Philadelphia, which prom
ised to develop into a robust man.
He was a beautiful child, with fair
complexion, dark eyes, and silky,
dark brown hair, which grew id
profusion. But in a few days the
parents were alarmed ct a remarka
BILE change that was coming over
the child. He gradually grew dark.
At first his skin became a pale yel-
low, then deepened into saffron

Columbus Times: Ohio's great

many of them. 1t is like sleeping

the American let the old man rest?

Geo. Alfred Townsend says:
There is general feeling in New
York that the Republicans are 60
irg to lose the Presidential election.
The improved attitude of the dem
ocrats in congress under the lead
ership of Hampton, Gordon and
others is commencing them to the
large business and conservative
class, who say that the divisions in
the republican party are proof that
it has no longer any general pur-
pose except continuance in power
and the spoils.

"When l first came to Washing
as a member of the house." said the
Hon. Mr.. FELTON,, of Georgia, for
many years a studious recluse and
always observant, almost every
public man that l had known by
reputation lost stature as l ap-
preached him intimately. There
had been an exaggeration of their
proportions, which daily association
dispelIed. There was one excep
tion to this rule. in the person of
Judge Allen Thurman, of Ohio
He loomed up like grand and
steadfast mountain. The nearer i
drew to him, the better | knew him,
the greater he seemed to me to be"

1t is said that the male wasp
does not sting. But as a male and
female wasp wear the same kind of
polonaise, and look as much alike
as twins, the only way to distin
guish their sex is to catch one and
examine its arsenal. If it stings
you it is female; if not, it is
gentleman wasp.

When Wisconsin man sits up
IN his coffin and demands to know
what the racket is, the chief
mourner says: "See here, sir,
we're performing our melancholy
duty to a deceased friend, and IL
you try to kick up a disturbance,
or do anything to mar the solemni-
ty Of the occasion, you'll get hurt"
And then "the corpse" is jammad
down into tho coffin again, and the
lid screwed on. They can't afford
after the funeral bills have been
paid TO have the money wasted, es-
pecially as Wisconsin men are not
usually worth Two funeral bills.

A short time since an Iowa man
died. He was very wealthy and
left three sons, his only heirs, and
would you believe it, the migrate

with all the property before the
lawyers could get at it and divide

much sordid, mean. grasping self

A mining camp editor at Bodie

his tobacco knife and cutting the

suppose. Well, here goes" There
upon he wrote the following para
graph: 1--WE received yesterday a
copy of John Mllton's poem from
the enterprlsing publi- hing house
of Y. X, of San Francisco. The
cook opens with long yarn, par
adise Lost He very improperly
commenced with a description of
hell, topic that is never mentioned
in the polite circles of this camp,
and gives most thoroughly absurd
pen-portrait of the devil. This
person he pictures as many rods in
length, while the best authorities
on the subject have likened him
unto a goat He goes on then to
tell of fight with batch Of an
gels, wherein the devil, as a matter
OF course, gets the worst OF it, be-
ing from the very start the under
dog in the fight, This is quite
enough for us. John Milton would
do better To return to his legiti-
mate newspaper sphere. He may
be able to describe a masquerade
ball or street row, but. in our opin-
ion, he is a very poor poet" ''rhis
will do for Milton" said the editor
as he passed the copy in to the
! foreman.

crs have noticed that in fGttening
swine rapidly they appear weak in
their hind legs, and sometimes lose
the use of them entirely. In such
cases we fnd that a small quantity
of bone meal mixed with their dai-
ly feed will prevent weakness, and
will strengthen the animal so as TO
admit Of the most rapid forcing"

of these that DR.. Reynolds was
called in, He succeed in curing
the spasms, and then devoted his
sttention to the strange disease
which afflicted the child. He at
once recognized it as melanosis or
pigmentation, which is mentioned
in the books in a general way, but
there is no case given where it had
developed all through the body
This was over sixteen months ago,
the child being then thirteen
months old. Since then the boy
has greatly improved, by degrees
becoming lighter, until now he is
of a light chestnut brown color.
Since DIR. Reynolds has had the
