 Our constitution guarantees free speech, but we see mention made of a man who had lived here f-f-f-forty years and complained that he had never enjoyed anything like f-f-f-freedom of sp-sp-speech.
 ''So I see some one has returned the twen- ty francs you lost" Yes, queer thing about that. I offered ten francs reward, but my money didn't turn up. Then I offered thirty francs, and at least a dozen fellows brought it to me. e.''-Le Ftg0r0.

 There are shrewd men even in Chicago. A stove merchant of that city advertised that if possible he meant to do bigger business than any stove dealer in St. Louis, and every man in Chicago who could raise the money went and bought a stove of him, not that they wanted stoves but they were bound he should lick St. Louis.-Boston Post.
 In the days of our forefathers, when the willy red man was abroad in the land seeking whom he might scalp, it was conaidered per fectly proper for a man to carry his gun when he went out for walk on the Sabbath day, but in this late age, when the ferocious wild duck and the carniverous rabbit infest the woods and swamps, the gun must be taken apart and concealed under the coat, or the tongue of the scandal monger will flop with the widest abandon. The old land ain't what it used to be.-Detr'ott Free Press.
 ''Can see the lady of the house?" in- quired the peddler. ''Well, yes, you can If you ain't blind" snapped the woman who had answered the bell. ''Oh, beg pardon, madam; you are the lady of the house, then?' 'fYes, I am. What dyer take me for? Did yer think I was the gentleman of the house, or the next door neighbor, or one of the farm hands, or the cat, or the ice- chist?" ''I didn't know, madam, but you might be the youngest daughter" "Oh,, did yer? Well, that was nat'ral, too," replied the l. of the h. ''What dye want, sir?" Then the peddler displayed his wares, and when he left the doorstep half an hour later his face was full of pleasure and his pockets were full of money. He understood human nature and had made good sale.-Boston Trnusc71Dt

General Burnside.


 Ambrose Everett Burnside was of Scottish l ancestry. He was born at Liberty, Ind, on May 23, 1924. At eighteen years of age he entered West Point, and was graduated in 1S47 with distinction in the artillery. He was stationed at Fort Adams, Newport. R. I. He was soon sent to Mexico as second lieu tenant of artillery, but he was assigned to such duty guarding the trains that he had no chance to distinguish himself. From 1848- B he was on duty at various frontier posts part of the time in New Mexico, where he commanded 8 squadron of cavalry and acted as a quartermaster in the Boundary Con- mission. While in New Mexico he was wounded in an engagement with the Jacor- illo Apaches-
 Having invented breech-loading rife, he resigned his army commission on October ?, 1853, and established manufactory for his invention at Bristol, R. I. He continued this occupation until 1858, but was not fnan- eially successful In that year he came to this city and filled the office of cashier of the land department of the Illinois Central rail way for one year. Then he was elected treasurer of the same company, and held the office until the opening of the reb ellion.
 Governor Sprague, of Rhode Islan d. knowing we'll his merits, invited him to take command of a regiment. Within a half hour after receiving the dis patch he was on his way to Rhode Island, and four days later passed through this city at the head of the First regiment of Rhode Island volunteers as their Colonel, hurrying to the defence of Washington. He served in Major General Patterson's operations around Cumberland. Md, and commanded @ brigade at the battle of Bull Run; after which he was made Brigadier- General of Volunteers. In January, 1862, he was ordered to fit out an expedition to proceed against certain point on the southern coast, but where the point was was kept secret By great exer- ton he collected fleet of nine hundred and l twenty-five vessels of 8 heterogeneous char

I do not find in practice to produce any good effect in raising the bread, and I should not, therefore, consider it's presence as desirable.

A suit has just been dropped from the docket of the supreme court in one of the counties of New Hampshire which had been continued from time to time and had been on the docket in some shape or other for more than thirty years.

The action of the Democratic campaign managers in Virginia in refusing to continue joint discussions with the Readjusters has been construed as an indication that the Re- adjusters were getting the best of the fight. This the Democrats deny. One of the lead ing Democratic canvassers recently told a reporter that the joint discussions were aban- doned for several reasons. One reason was that the Democrats desire separate meetings in order that the people may contrast the meetings of the two parties and see for them selves the superior character, as a general rule, of the citizens who are supporting the Democratic ticket Besides this, he said : 'tJoint discussions attract crowd, and the Readjusters claim that half the crowd belongs to them. An announcement that there will be Readjuster speaking, simply, usually brings out a slim crowd, composed mostly of colored people. We (the Democrats) con- cluded that we wouldn't assist any longer in supplying audiences for the Mahonites to speak to. In addition to these reasons for stopping the joint discussions is the fact that Cameron, the Malone candidate, had can vassed southwest Virginia before Daniels was nominated. Daniels wanted to go over that section, and so he has left Cameron to travel Sis own road"
