Essay on Man.
Man was made in dry weather.
He was made ofsdast.


He was made Of fdast
Quite number have never recOv-
cred from their creation: they are
still dry.
1t is mans nature to he discon-
tented.
Adam had a monopoly, but he
could not be happy without some one
to crow over.
For a while he knocked around
over The GARDEN of Eden. and then
went to the house; but he had 10
cook his own supper; there was no
stove-wooa chopped, and things were
in bad shape generally.
The next morning it was the same
way. He had 10 make his own bed
and sweep out. His socks were dirty
and his arm would run through q hole
in his sleeve. SO he was dissatisfied.
The next night the Creator punish
ed him by making one OF his ribs
into woman-a great misfortune 10
the race.
! 1t has been 5000 years since that
rib was lost, and vet man continues
feeling forit
This is a very feeling subject.
Pursuit in this cause is said to be
sweeter than POSSESSION.
After Eve got acquainted with her
mate she vowed that all the men in
the world were not worth Adam.
Goiah was man.

Harper's Weekly works over this
old time story of our youth thus:
We received from correspondent
the following somewhat incoherent
account of duel which was fought
in his neighhorhood. Some way or
other we are half in the dark about
the result OF the duel in question, but
we shall leave the decision to our
readers: A duel was lately fought in
Texas by Alexander Shot and John
S. Mott. Mott was. shot, and Shot
was not. In this care it is tetter to
be Shot than Nots. There was 3
rnmor that Mott was not shot, and
Shett avows that he shot Mott, which
proves either that the shot Shott shot
at Mott was not shot, or that Nett
was shot notwithstanding. Circum-
stantial evidence is not always good.
1t may be made to appear on trial
that the slot SIott Slot shot Mott or,
as accidents with firearms are fire.
qnent, it may be possible that the
shot Shot shot shot Slott himself,
when the whole affair would resolve
itself into its original clements, and
Shott would be shot, and Mott would
be not. We think, however, thS the
shot Shott shot shot not Sllott. bul
Mott; anyway. il is hard to ,tell who
was shot.

What Vanderbilt Might Do with His
Money.
From the Ithica Journal

From the lthca Journal.
Some one has made a very curious
calculation of what Mr.. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. William H.
Nanderbilt's income from his invest
ments in S51 ZOO, 900 four per cent.
government bonds is represented at
s., 900 daily. which is S2OS.25 per
hour, S3.47 per minute, or over five
cents per second. Assuming that he
is paid by the second, he cannot pos
sihly spend his money, as he could
not select his purchases and lay down
The prices fast enough. He could not
throw it away to pick up, cast, re-
cover, pick up and cast again would
take him two seconds, and if he
worked all through the twenty-four
hours without rest, he could not dis.
pose OF one-half his income. By liv-
ing economically, saving up for four
years, he could, placing his five cent
pieces side by side, make nickel belt
around the earth, or by converting
his savings INTO one cent pieces and
mounting them in a pile, he would,
| in twenty years, erect road to the
moon and have $500 to invest when
he 9A there. Should his amusement
take charitable twist, he could, out
. OF years receipts, donate to every
man, woman and child i'm the United
States twenty cents and have money
T left over. Other vast possibilities
occur to the glowing fancy of the cal
cplator. In one day he could 60 to
5000 different circuses, eat 10000
pints Of peanuts, drink 5000 glasses
of lemonade, and have money left to
get his boots BACKED. He can afford
To have 800, 900 shirts washed in one
day, and on the day of his death his
income will buy ten first-class
funerals.

store three different times, either to

shoes repaired which she had already
purchased. On each visit she was
waited upon by Charles O. Curtis, a
clerk there, about twenty FIVE years Of
age. Miss Cottrel's last visit to this
store was on Friday, February 2S,
