GARFIELD's GRATITUDE.

Finding it impossible to accord an
answer to each of the myriad of mes
eages of sympathy with President Garfield
and family that poured in from every
quarter Of the United States and many
portions Of nearly all other countries Of

sagcs Of anxious inquiry and tender words
Of sympathy in such number that it has
been found impossible to answer them in
detail. therefore ask the newspapers to
express for tho President and Mrs Gar

devotion Of their fellow cou1ltrymcn and
friends abroad in this hour of heavy atflic-

Perils Of the Single Man.

The old-fashioned notion that men
look with totally different eye on wo-
man when they wtnt wife from what
they look on women generally can not
be sustained Albeit there are men ever
in quest of connubial partner without
searching for her. They are very apt to
be surprised into matrimony, or, at least,
into matrimonial lintents-provided, how
ever, that the matter be not taken out of
their hands by the woman herself. No
man is so likely to become engaged as
he who is persuaded that he will never
be. He is so prepared on one side for
circumstances of a certain kind that he
is wholly ungarded on the other side for
circumstances of an opposite kind. At
the very moment that he is confident of
everlasting celibacy, that he is rejoicing
over his freedom, sudden shift in the
sentimental environment, a word, a
tear, caress, decides his doom.-Ne,O

The Village .Postmistress.

The son of this Postmistress says Of
his mother: -, -
'.She's gettin' little hard a. hearin',
though; but tell her that ain't strange,
seein' she's heard so much in her day.
Ears can't last forever, you know, Mis-
Linton, an for fifty years there amt
been nothin' goin' on among the negh-
bors that mamma amt heard Bein' In
the Postoffis is wearin' to the hearin' e5
well as the eyes. Folks comm an goin'
for their letters generally leave as much
news ez they take away. By the way,
Mis- Linton, yer sister, Miss Bradleigh's,
comm back tomorrow. Mamma was
readin' the postal cards last night, an
she came across one from hen"
Reading my postal cards!' exclaimed
Mrs. Linton.
"Why, yes. Mamma always reads 'em
-leastways she reads such as isn't took
right of. She says it's her duty. Might
be news of sickness or death, ur suthin'
else, that we'd ought to send right along;
they are dreadful aggrayatin' readin'
though. People don't write ez well as
they used to, an don't make things
clear, nuther. When anybody writes les
Yes or No on postal, no Postmaster
in creation can make anything out of it.
But your sisters postal is plain enough,
Mis- Linton; thar amt nothin' indefinit'
about her. She says, 'Comin's Thurs.
| day, 5 o'clock train. Have Factotum
meet me- Mamma puzzled agood deal
over that word 'factotum, an, we both
concluded that it was the name of your
help. Furrin' name amt it ]? T. told
mamma twas new, anyhow, an'Iez we
had young calf t we was goin' to raise,

The Imperial Crowns Of Russia.

The crown of the Gar of Russia is in
shape as much inter as a crown it
thus suggests the double functional
once the head of the church and head
of the state-which the Russian EN-
peror is supposed to exercise. It is sur
mounted by cross formed of five beau
tiful diamonds, and supported by an i'm
mense uncut but polished ruby. The
ruby rests upon eleven large diamonds,
which in their turn surmount rows of
pearls. More magnificent even than the
crown of the Emperor is the coronet Of
theEmpress, which is supposed to pre-
sent the mostbeautiful mass of diamonds
ever brought together in single orna-
ment. In this constellation of glittering
stones four large diamonds of the purest
water are especially remarkable; the
other diamonds, some sixteen or eigh-
teen in number, are of secondary at
tractiveness, and there are beside seventy
or eighty diamonds which would have
to be placed in third category.

What Mamma Said.

The young woman who, with her lover
and little niece, sat in the shadow of the
curtain while the company was in the
room adjoining, had good deal of pres
ence of mind when the niece said very
loud, ''Kiss me, too, Aunt Ethel" "You
should say kiss me taOice, or kiss me two
times, not two," said Aunt Ethel, calmly.
1t is to be hoped that the well-known
English "beauty lady" was equal to the
occasion, also, when an elderly and emil
nently respectable gentleman made an
afternoon call, and, as elderly gentlemen
often do, he took the child and kissed
her. "You must not do that" said the
child, struggling, 81 am respectable
married woman!' 'What do you mean,
my dear?" asked the astonished visitor.
"Oh, that's what mamma always says
when the gentlemen kiss her!" replied
the artless infant.

up bottle1on the shore, containing dirty

The vessel is sinking and we are all lost. +"
Readers will remember the Mpena was lost

Four carrier pigeons belonging to Mr.. VIII

freed at indianapolis, Ind, the 5th of last Sep

at home. One known as "Paris" failed to

the owner came to the conclusion that some
hunter on the route had shot him. However,
on the 23d of May, after an absence of eight
months and q half, Paris arrived at his owners 8

marks on him makes his identity positive. It
is thought he had been trying to make his way
