ohio Old Maids.

The Old Maids Association, of Ge-
auga county, Ohio, had picnic on the
lake recently, and mustered eighty-seven
souls. This society was an outgrowth
of the war, and was organized in 1862
by a bevy Of young ladies whose broth
ers and sweethearts were fighting for
their country, and left them without the
resources of male escort, except the COW
ards who remained at home. Unwilling
to accept the gallantry of these young
men, the young ladies preferred to de-
pend upon themselves, and formed the
association mentioned. Out of revenge
the gallants dubbed these independent
damsels "old maids, and they accepted
the cognomen and made it their own.
A humorous constitution and bylaws
were drafted by Mrs. G. E. Henry, then
a single young lady and one of the
founders Of the institution. Man was
declared the common enemy, and one
of the chief objects of the society was

A smart Girl,

One Of the many handsome Young
Ladies residing in the aristocratio portion
of Cincinnati suburb packed up small
''gripsack one morning recently, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and departed
for visit with friend at one Of the
many picturesque stations that abound
on.the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad. Finding, upon her arrival at
Cincinnati, that she had several hours in
which to make the train, and as abe. also
wished TO purchase several Of q those

OF "a young lady's wardrobe, she con-
Guided to make her purchases and pass
portion Of the surplus time in walking
to the depot. She made her purchases
and was leisurely strolling along Fifth
street, admiring the latest summer
styles, when her meditations were
brought to an abrupt termination by a
dapper, dandifed little fellow, who was
rugged up in one of the very latest style
summer suits, his Uranium was covered
with hat constructed upon the second
story plan, a pairof eyeglasses straddled
the bridge of his Roman nose, and a
sweet, killing smile appropriately
adorned his countenance, who, stepping
up; politely lifted his hat and accosted
her thus Excuse-ah 'me--pleasure of

took, at the same time tipping wink
to q couple of friends who were loafing
On the corner. The couple started
toward the depot, and as they meandered
along the young man tried to strike up
a conversation with the young lady /; but
she evidently wasn't in very talkative
mood, as she could not be induced to
speak only in answer to direct questions,
and those she answered in monosylla-
bles, Arriving at the depot, the young
lady, to the CONSERVATION of the young
masher and the amusement of his friends,
who, had followed them just to watch
Developments, pulled out her pocket

voice loud enough for the bystanders
to hear, :" I'm really sorry, but it's all

Scotchroe, according to the veracious
historian of the Little Rock Gazette
Now, In case / die, my wife will re-
ceive 1000. In case of my death, how
ever, i don't know that she would be
benefited, for she has determined to kill
herself If anything of serious nature
happens to me. Let me tell you what
she did" and Mr.. Scotcllroe took hold
of the two men to whom he was talking.
"Why she has prepared a. bottle of
stuff deadly enough to kill mule. She
says that when the money falls due she

just go on. Break the news to her
gently, I'll stand outside prepared to
rush in when she makes dive for the

with broken constitutions and ruined
health. But youth will not learn
from the sage experience of age, and
the same follies are enacted over and
over sRain. A few, in comparison
to the many who went, did return
with money, and all who went
looked and hoped to be himself one
of the fortunate ones. Thus the in
fstustion continued spreading, until
it bad enlisted the sympathies and
claimed the attention Of all ranks OF
society.
When this feeling was at its height
it seized upon Robert Dacres and John
Carson. and they determined to ven
ture on the expedition in quest of for
tune, hoping 10 be made happy in
obtaining what they sought. High
spirited and youthful. they had not
yet learned to moderate their desires,
and with the light-heartedness and
inexperience OF hope, they thought
they bad but to venture to be success
full. The parents OF Robert Dscres
tried hard to dissuAde him from leav-
ing home, more, however. from a
conception of iti wisdom than from
any fears OF his being led away from
the path of duty and virtue. They
might have wished him to associate
with less impulsive and more sober
minded companion, but upon the
consideration that it might possibly do
Carson good, they made no serious
oppoaition. As to Carson, he had no
one to care particularly what became
of him; and, when the news spread
abroad among those WHO knew him
that he intended going to the mines,
there were many who felt glad that
such was the case-not, however, that
ne was going to the mines, but that
he was going away. A talented. wild
young man. who has cast of moral
resiraint-brilliant in conversational
powers-refined in intellect except
when under the fires oil passion and
wine, exerts = baneful influence over
his young acquaintance. For this |
reason parents were thankful and
glad when Carson gave out his inten
ton of leaving home, as thus the
meretricious connection would be |
severed and their IONS would no longer
have leader. But it is not always
youth that leads in these excuses. |
Gray-headed age, at times, plunges
into folly, and verify, example has
much to answer for hereafter.

JUDGMENT.
THE SUPREME COURT or MAINE
Render Decision Clear Beyond
CaviI On the Returning Board
Questions-Some Honest
Fusionists Remain.

Bangor, Jan. 3.-The supreme court
rendered a Unanimous decision this
afternoon on the election questions pre-
sented by Gov. Garcelon, virtually to
the following effect: Thata represen-
tative is not to be deprived of his rights
because municipal officers have neglect
ed their duty. The constitution does
not aim at depriving the people of their
right of suffrage or of their right of
representation for formal errors.
That the pretext for throwing out
votes and declaring returns improperly
verified are frivilous and have no valid
authority under the law; that the gov
ernor and council have no right to go
behind the returns and presume they
are incomplete.
The answers given are clear in every
particular and leave no room for doubt.
Boston, JAM g. Dispatches from
Augusta say that rumors prevail i'll
some of the counties that certificates of
election have been issued in blank,
bearing the seal of the secretary of
state, and given the republican mem
bers who have been counted out, and
appended to the certificates are the
words, "You will be protected.

nae NEW STOCK spEcuLAIlons.

The new combination method of oper-
ating in stocks which Messrs. Lawrence
q Co., Bankers, N. Y, have inaugurat-
ed, is attracting unusual attention in
financial circles, by reason of its re-
markable success. A customer in Pro-
violence, invested nine times and made
over S5, 900 in three months, by using
from $50 to $500 capital. By this sy-
stem, orders from thousands of Gus
toners, in various sums, are pooled in
to one immense capital, and operated
as mighty whole, thus giving to each
shareholder all the advantages of vast
capital and shrewdest skill. Profits are
divided every 80 days. ANY amount
from $40 to $4,000 can be used in
Messrs. Lawrence & Co.'s combin-
ations with equal proportionate success.
S15 will make S75 profit in the mouth.
5000 will return 81 800, or per cent.
on the stock, and so on as the market
varies. The new circular gives ''two
unerring rules for success" and shows
how any one can operate profitably.
Mailed free. Stocks and bonds want
ed. Government bonds supplied. Ap-
ply to Lawrence & Co., Bankers. 81

INDIAN BUREAU PETS
indulge in FisticuHs Before the Com
missioner Of Indian Annirs.


Washington, Jan. 3.-Col. Boudinet t.,
a well known Cherokee residing here,
made an argument before the commits
sioner Of Indian affairs to-day, in sup
port of the petition filed by him pray
ing that he be put in possession of the
hotel property at Vinita, Indian Terri
tory. Col. w. P. Adair, second chief
of the Cherokee nation, with several
other members of the Cherokee delega-
tion, and ex-Congressman Phillips, of
Kansas, opposed Boudinet's claim.
The discussion became so warm that
the argument was adjourned for ten
days by the commissioner. Boudinet
and Adair, however, continued the con-
troversy in a heated manner outside OF
the commissioners room. Finally each
struck at the other with cane, then
clinched and fell to the floor. They
were separated by department watch
man before serious injury was done
The fight caused much excitement in
the interior department.
