DISADVANTAGE OF SPEAKING FIRsT.-During
a recent cold snap, four men met in Devonshire
street brokers office. They spoke of the intense
cold. Twelve below ut my house." said one.
''My thermometer indicated fourteen below. -
said the second. The third looked little nerv-
GUS, but he came to the scratch. ''YOu must live
in comparatively warm localities" he said. at
was nineteen below ut my house, and that on
the south side of the building, too" Then they
all looked at the fourth man. Would he surren-
derf No. Without the culver of n muscle of
his face, he remarked: at was ninety-nine
above, in the shade, at my place, at sunrise this
morning, and that was on the north side of the
house." Then he buttoned up his fur coat and
went ont, and the other three looked at each
other, terribly mortified

acres of ground, and employs 800 clerks. There
are no windows on the streets; light is admitted

therefore, without cannon to batter the immense

about her new carpet, and her new house girl,

THIS winter has been death blow to the old
settler. All his terrible stories of the worst win
ter he ever saw, ''along in 40" or in 81, were
put on record last winter and the winter
preceding, and they don't begin to come up,
or rather get down, to the Thermometer of
's0-Sl. And the poor old man has TO sit around
and listen to the boys, who are growing up to be
the oldest inhabitants, shver and blow on their
hands, and say how this winter gets away with
them all, and all the poor old settler do is to
affect feeble contempt for the cold once in a
while and say, "Aw-w, pshaw, hush up, shut
up! Eve seen cold weather afore ye was born,
any of ye."

..srEAKING of hores. = saws a victim to ONE .

''SPEAKING of hores," says a victim to one of
the species, Il can scarcely imagine one capable
of inflieting more misery than an intOlerable
rhisfler. l can stand fife, when all the nation
is EARNED and equipped on training day, and
the drum with its ''1ang, fang" serves to drown
its screams; but to listen to n poor air, badly
murdered by poorer puckerer, prefer death
in some easier if not quicker way. / always
think of the French stage-coach driver, who, be-
ing very much annoyed by such bore, turned
upon him with, ''Aline fren," vat for you all de
time visself You loss YOUR dog. ehrr

remarked TO her gentleman companion, tunnels

FROZEN.

James Sandburg was an inmate OF the
poor farm, where he had been placed in
1873. He was afflicted with epileptic fits,
and while suffering from such disorder last
Friday night he fell into pool of water
and died before help could be summoned.
The deceased was allowed to go and come
from the poor farm as suited him, and
while on one of these journeys to the farm
of Patrick Campbell, it is supposed that
he was taken with fit, and while thus
afflicted fell into the water and died.
The coroner impannelled jury, and the
evidence having been submitted the fol-
lowing verdict was rendered:
State Of Illinois, Rock Island County:
In the matter of inquisition on the body of
James Sandburg, deceased, held at Rural
on the 25th of November, 1881, we the un-
dersigned jurors, sworn to inquire of the
death of James Sandburg, on oath do find
that he came to his death by exposure. be-
ing frozen to death, on the farm of Patrick
Campbell, on the oath of November, 1881.
We further say that we believe, on evi
dence, that the deceased was suffering from
temporary mental alteration.
