pcrilous fashion, and one day on the occas-
ion of dinner party, a special exhibition
was to be had. The marksman was to
clcave al apple on the youths head at ten
paces. Before the time came, however, an
ingenious gentleman, celebrated in the East
as well as the West for his practical jokes,
bribed the lad to go through carefully re-
hcarscd scene. He was provided with a
clot of blood colorcd paint, and instructed
to sccrete this in his hand just before the
show. At the report of the pistol he was
to spin around, clap the paint to his FORE
head rs he turned his back to Mr.. Hackett,
give n yell, vault high in the air aud fall to
the ground. All tins was actually and
carefully done in the presence of five or six
persons who had dined together. The ex-
pectation, of course, was that Mr. Hackett
would be stricken with remorse and hor.
ror, and rush forward instantly to his well
tering victim, but when instead, the marks
man quietly sat down where he stood, and,
with his own peculiar smile, proceeded TO
light cigar, a tale was told that the
amused witnesses never forgot. William
Tell was less positive of his results with his
crossbow than John Haclsctt with his re-
yolver.

here and there, sometimes clinging to the
hillside like Il shelf, running away to hide
in long stretches of forest, dodging suddenly
out of sight around projecting hill,
doubling back upon itself in the most nc.
curate angles, as though it was trying to
get away and leave us utterly lost on the
mountain side, running along smoothly and
evenly Oh one track for quarter of mile
and then suddenly swinging around and
hurrying back nearly the whole distance; a
changing, restless, mischicvous road that
seemed to have forgotten that it started out
from Onconta to reach the mountain top,
and was going to play hide and seek with
itself there on the mountain side forever,
and never go anywhere. But the horses
knew It's ways, and all It's tricks of turning
and driving and climbing, and clattcr, clat-
ter, clatter over the rocky places; and
tramp, tramp, tramp, where the clay was
heavy, and splash, splash, splash, where the
little pools covered the road Keeping the
wandering road always in sight and never
losing it, willie the rocky glcns and stately
hillsidcs, and even the frowning forests
laughed back in the echoes of the cIattcr-

mountain top, and the road, sobcrcd down
by its long climb settles to it's task and
stretches away to Delhi. No stop for any
thing, the mettlesomes horses do not need
the whip, and scarcely need the word.
Nine miles out; as we drive up to great

buggy and two great horses drive out be-

Down the long hills apd up the grades we
spin, the big-shouldeied horses laughing
at the hills with their feet; over the rum

farm houses, until at last the hills rise
above us loftier, grander, more beautiful
and graceful in outline, and we swept into

A new Australian delicacy Is finding It's
way into the London markets in the shape
Of dried kangaroo tongues. The tails, and
SKINS Of these animals have long been
iutilized-tho former tor making soup, the
latter for, leather; and the recent destruc-
tion OF kangaroos has given considerable
impetus to these two trades. Struck by
the waste Of food occasioned by the slaugh-
ter Of SO many thousand; Of these marslip.
ials, whose bodies arc frequently left to rot
where they haye fallen, a Warroo settler
made an experiment irl' curing the tongues
Of some Of the slain, and SO highly wore
they approved that q consi derable trade has
sprung. up In this commodity. The tongues
are usually cured by drying III smoke, like
the Russian reindeer tongues; but much
better plan is TO preserve them Ia tins Ike

Six Ahead.

Some time ago, In the southern part of
Arkansas, an incident occurred, which will
be spoken Of upon the occasion of every
election in that part of the country. Upon
the day of the noted event people in all the
townships exhibited their interest by going
early to the polls. Two very prominent
men in certain county were candidates
for sheriff, and their supporters were so
equally divided that great concern was
felt Bets were made; fist fights were in
augurated, in fact, everything was engaged
In 10 make the election interesting.
About 10 o'clock the excitement became 60
great in one township that plan was SC
lcctcd to ride over to the ncxt township to
sec who was ahead. The swiftcst horse
was selected. The ,ila, sprang into the
saddle and dashed away. The rider was
intently watched until out Of sight. Then
more, bets were made as to which Of the
candidates was ahead More fist engage
mcnts were inaugurated. Finally the man
was secn coming back. He had lost his
hat and his long hair strcamcd out horizon
tally.
'Six aheadl Six ahcadl" he shouted,
when within hearing OF the crowd.
"Who's six ahcad2" demanded several
voices
'I'll be dingcd If know" said the man,
checking Ills horse, Shut you may bet your
lifo that one Of them is ELK ahead.

goes over these bundles and pays so much
per thousand for the cigars made. The
rate varies from 81 to $42 per thousand,
according to the size OF the cigars and the
excellence Of the leaf. The best workmen
are employed Oh the very finest kinds, and
can make as many as seventy five cigars in
the day. The rough and cheap kinds are
much more easy to make, and q good folder
can turn out over 200 cigars III eight hours.
White men, negroes, and coolies are en-
ploycd in cigar-mlking, but white labor is
found to be by far the most Intelligent, and
coolie labor the least SO. Indeed, the coolies
are mostly employed in opening the bundles
and separating the filings from the wrap
pcrs, and very few of them are allowed to
fold cigars. The clgar-makcrs, at lcast the
white ones, are tmiftlcss, lazy set. a
folder will work until he has enough money
for his immediate wants. and then he will
nt once leave his work until he is driven

cigars, was pointed out by the proprietor

cation. lie works hard during five days of
the week, making Il tidy sum of money.
Every Saturday night he visits Il ready

early on Sunday goes either to the seashorc
or to the river strips bathcs, and, on COM
ing out, puts on his new suit Leaving the
old one, bought the previous week, on tho

his money is all spent, when he returns to

Cuban cigar factory rs in tho ,cthetic atmos-
phcrc of New England college, They
are of all colors, ranging from pure white
through every variety of cream and ch0co-
late up to shining black. They
all smoke, generally the very strongest
cigars. Unlike the clerk in the candy store,
who is allowed to gorge himself at first, and
who never cares for the sweet treasures
again, men and women in tobacco factories
60 not lose their taste for smoking. Ihc
manufactures forbid smoking during work
hours, for 1t abstracts the attention, and the
cigars are less carefully made But the
supply of cigars is almost unlimited, and
every workman is allowed to carry away
two or three. These cigais are made BY
boys who are only beginning, and whose
productions are not good enough for market.
When the cigars are counted and the max
ers paid, the former are sent up stairs and
carefully sorted, first to remove the badly
made ones and those with rough wrappers,
and then to divide them, according to the
color OF the leaf, INTO colorados aud ma
duros. When this is done they are ready
to be placed in the boxes, which are
made in separate part of the factory. The
boxes when filed, are placed under press,
and Tho cigar is then ready for sale.

amt any moro trick in getting married than
there is in eating peanuts. Many man

angel; they have all been picked up long
ago. Remember, Joc,, you amt saint
yourself DO mot marry for beauty exclu-
sively; beauty is likcicc, awful slippery, and
thaws dreadful easy. Don't marry for luv,
neither; luy is like a cooking stove, good
for nothing when the fuel gives out. But
let the mixture be some beauty bccomingy

this sound teeth and a warm heart. The
mixture will keep in any climate and will

a Rarber's Mistake.

An amusing incident occurred in Utica,
barber shop, which has created considerable
sport at the expense Of clergyman from
the town of Annsville or Ava. The domi-
ME had pretty full growth Of grey whis. !.
kers. He came to Utica for tile signatures
of the leading politicians to on application
for chaplaincy in a public institution.
With mind bent on the subject Of his mis-
sion, he entered a barber shop, took q seat
in the chair, and asked to have his whiskers
trimmed The barber was busily engaged
IN talking politics and evidently mIsnnder-
stood his patrons order. Hc took out his
dye stuffs, and within twenty minutes the
whiskers Of the dominic were backer than
his coat. The odor of sulphur did not give
the barber away, and romarking that he
did not want his hair dressed he paid for
the Job and went out. When he called at
the office of United States official who
knew him well, he was not 1ecoghized and
had some trouble In making himself known,
When the official was satisfied he laughed
heartily and remarked TO the clergyman that
he evidently was cndcavoring to beat old
age by dying. Tho would-be chaplain did
not sec the point Of his highly icolorcd joke
until the official spoke plainly. Tie clergy-
man looked in the mirror and for the first
time saw how he had altered In appearance.

All sorrow and all dare.

The Chicago Convention met in
that city last Wednesday. When
we hear from it we expect to hear
of Grants nomination. The next
best news we shall wait for is either
Thurman's or Bayard's nomination
at Cincinnati; then the most glo-
rious news that we have ever re-
ceived will be the triumph, in No
vember, of the Democratic party
over the party that is drifting into
Imperialism and despotism. We
sincerely and honestly hope that
the third-termers have won the VIC
tory in the ''Lake City," If so,
the least discretion upon the part of
the delegates that will assemble in
the 'Queen City, on the 22d inst. g,
will place this nation again in the
