exclaimed the lawyer, jump ping up,
Man, how long do you think ten
minutes to be?"
Jest bout ten minutss," was the
unrnf1ed reply.
"How do you generally measure

The old sailor turned slowly in bed
ani eyed his quessioner. Then he
turned back again and said indiGer-
emily: "Waal, sometimes w;d a
watch and sometimes wild claack."
This made the lawyer little
mad. He ierked his watch from his
pocket and said in a euerulous, high
pitched voice: "Oh, you do, do you?
Well, I'll tell you when to begin, and
you tell me when the ten minutes are

The sailor slyly winked at the law

the situation in an instant and made
no objection. The ex-iudge stood
with his back to a maptel on which

"Aye, ave." the sailor said, and

made no answer. As Ave and six and

4 HaG I'm the Telegraph Service.

A telegraph inspector recently pressed into
his service a rat under the following peculiar
circumstances: 1t was necessary to over
haul q cable of wire inclosed in iron tubes.
4 certain length of the cable had to be taken
out of the tube and the men commenced
hauling at one end without having taken the
precaution to attach to the other a wire by
which 1t might be drawn back into the tube
after inspection and repairs. The question
arose how the cable was to be restored to its
proper place, and here the ingenuity Of the
inspector was manifested.
He invoked the aid Of a .rat-catcher, and
provided with q large rat, 9 ferret and q ball
of string wound round on a Morse paper
drum, he repaired to the opening in the tube.
The "f1ush boxes" were opened, and the rat,
with one end Of the string attached to his
body, was put into the pipe. He scampered
away at a racing pace, dragging the tWine
with him, until he reached the middle of the
length Of pipe, and there stopped. The fer
ret wasthen put in, and off went the rat
again until he sprung out of the next flush
box. One length of the cable was thus safe,
and the same operation was commenced
with the other, but the rat stopped short a
Jew yards in the pipe, and boldly awaited
the approach of the ferret. A sharp combat
here commenced, and it was feared that one
Or both Of the animals would die in the pipe,
but after sundry violent jerks had been given
to the string the combatants separated, the
ferret returned to his master, and the rat,
making for the other extremity of the pipe,
carried the string right through, and so re-
lleVed the Inspector from his anxiety.

The MinnehagneS.

A band of ten or more Winnebagoes
have been camping on Balron's Island
near La Crosse, for the past few days.
Among them is the well known John
Fisher, whose Indian name is Head
dress, Fishers mother was full-blood-
ed Winnebago, and his father was
French. He is educated and talks very
excellent English. Fisher has acted as
interpreter for the Winnebago tribe in
their conference with the government,
and has made several trips to Madison
and one to Washington. He claims he
has never received 8 cent for his SER
vices, and is trying to get anappropria-
ton of 5000 for FIVE years employment
He has lost his sight and is only able to
distinguish daylight. Fisher is a young
man and has chosen many of the ways
Of the w ties. He states that all the
Winnebagoes that went to the Nebraska
reservation. returned within wear and
have been supporting themselves with
out aid from the government, which
he claims owes them in annuities about
100000. There are about a thousand
of the tribe left, divided into four
bands under leaders. Head-dress is
the President or chief of one, Little
DEBORAH of the second, Old Man Car
rimonei Of the third, and Winueshick
of the fourth. Fisher himself lives in
Nebraska, and came out to see the
bands in regard to the intended census
Of the Indians, vino are willing to take
their annuity altogether and become
citizens He is now on his way to n e.
braska. Among the Indians who are
with him in this visit to La Crosse, are
Long Tail, a tall willowy Indian that
looks like scout, Charlie White Eagle,
Harrison White Cloud, Alic White
Heart and Mrs. White Heart, the In
dian doctor and his wife, Chief Pigeon
and Mr. and Mrs. White Pigeon. Sew
eral papooses were with the party also
A visit to their camp proved somewhat
interesting. Their leisure time is
passed in making queer kind of mu-
sic, by pounding upon membrane
stretched across a tin powder keg, or
beating an Indian drum having its two
heads about three inches apart. Occa-
sionally the orchestra is increased by
ringing two short strings Of bells.

an old stale advertisement that repeats
the same old story mt all seasons of the
year, offering the same bargains. and
the same full supply of goods ''just re-
ceived" at ali times of the year-when
their stocks have run so low that they
are scarcely able to fill the orders of a
single customer, as when their houses
are filled with the most reasonable
and attractive commodities. They
never allow the public to remain in
ignorance of the fact that they have a
good thing to sell. They know how 70
make their constant appeals in a man
ner that will prove attractive. They
are always devising new and striking
methods for presenting their wares to
the public notice, by the use of print
er's ink. They are always careful to
advertise what they have-not what
they had last winter. nor what some
one else has now. They advertise
honestly as well as literally, and their
customers learn to believe The promises
publicly made through the newspapers.
Their advertisements are studied with
interest by every one who expects to
become purchaser. 1t is as import
ant that IL man about to engage in
mercantile pursuits should know how
to advertise, as to know how to buy
judiciously, or to sell at a living profit.

The Art of Advertising.

The time has come when a knowl-
edge of this art is an essential part OF
the education of every business man.
To be successful in business they should
understand how to advertise. 1t is only
necessary, in order to illustrate the
truth of this statement, to call atten-
ton to the most successful merchants
and manufactures of any large city, or
small village, in the United States.
They know just what to say to the pub
lie, when to say it, how to say i, and
the medium to employ in saying it.
They have made the same careful
study of this as of any other branch OF
their business. They don't insert sin
gle beggarly little lad" in an obscure
corner of some paper, out of favor TO
the publisher, TO support party organ,
and then endeavor to make the pro-
prietor of the paper sensible of the
value of their patronage, by growing
when asked to pay for the advertise-
ment, and vowing that it never did
them any good, but was juss put in out
of charity. They are not content with

Cards by the Million.

1t is estimated that during the fiscal
year, ending June Both, there will be
used 320,000,000 postal cards, making
a total for the last four years of almost
precisely one billion. Proposals for
bids for the next four years called for
two billions, and it is not unlikely that
the number sold next year viii amount
to very nearly 500,000.000. The $780,
100000 sold this year, if connected end
to end, would form a girdle around the
world These cards are often bought
in very large quantities by business
houses for advertising purposes. An or
der has been received for as many as 40
600 at one time. but the great bulk are
sold in small lots for correspondence.
Postal officials say that the future oil
postal cards depends to some extent mp
on the rate of letter postage. If that
should be reduced to two cents it is ex-
pected the demand for postal cards will
be reduced.

The Imagination Cure.

At large hotel in Suffolk, the not
uncommon dilemma arose of there be-
ing only one room in the house vacant
when two visitors required accommo-
dations for the night. 1t was a double
bedded chamber, or was soon convert
ed into such, and the two guests-who
were both commercial travellers
agreed to share it, One of the gentle
men was a confirmed hypochondriac,
and greatly alarmed his companion by
night, gasping for breath. Asthma"
he painted out; II am subject to these
spasmodic attacks, Open the window
quickly; give me airP'
Terrified beyond measure, the other
jumped out of bed But the room was
pitch-dark; he had no matches, and he
had forgotten the position of the win
dow.
For heavens sake be quick" gasped
the invalid. Give me more air or |
shall choker'
At length, by dint of groplng wildly
and upsetting half the furniture in the
apartment, the window was found; but
it was an old-fashioned easement, and
no hasp or catch could be discovered.
"Quick, quick; air, air!" implored
the apparently dying man. "Open it,
break it, or shall suffocateW
Thus adjured, his friend lost no more
time, but Selling a boot. smashed every
pane; and the sufferer Immediately
experienced relief
ooh, thank you, a thousand thanks.
HaP he exclaimed, drawing deep signs,
which testified to the great comfort he
derived; 81 think in another moment
chould have been dead"
And when he had sufficiently recov-
cred, he described the intense distress
of these attacks, and the length of time
he had suffered from them. After
while both fell asleep again, devoutly
thankful for the result. 1t was a warm
summer night, and they felt no incon-
venience from the broken window, but
when daylight relieved the pitchy dark
ness of the night, the window as found
to be still entire! Had invisible glaz-
iers been at work already, or was the
episode of the past night only dream?
No; for the floor was still strewn with
the broken glass. Then, as they looked
round the room in amazement, the so
luton of the mystery presented itself
in the shape af an antiquated bookcase.
The systematically attacked one was
cured from that moment. So much
for imagination.

President Garfield's Speech at Hamp-
ton Institu e.

President Garfield in his recent visit
to the Hampton Institute, in Virginia,
addressing the negro and Indian pupils
gathered in Bethesada Chapel, situated
on the grounds of the National Genet
cry there, said:
''As | drove through these grounds
to-day l was impressed by the thought
that passed between the representa-
tiyes Of the past and the future. Grip
pied and bent with service on the tent
ed field, those veterans in the Soldiers
Home behind us represent the past.
You represent the future, the future
of your race,-a future made possible
by the past, by these graves lying all
around us.
1.-TWO phases of the future strikes me
as look over this congregation. Fol-
| see still another race here, a race
from the far West. You two classes OF
people are approaching the great prob
lem Of humanity, which is labor, from a
different side. | would put that prob
lem into four words Labor must be
free. And for those of you from the
West, / would take off the last word in
order to enforce the first. To you /
would say: Labor must be!-for you,
for all-wlthout it there is no civiliza-
ton. The other race beside you has
learned that truth. They came here
with people who felled the forest and
swept away all obstacles before them
by labor. You come from people
who have been taught to destroy-to
fight, but not to labor. Therefore to
you would say that without labor you
can do nothing. The first text in your
civilization is: Labor must be!
You others have learned this text,
but you learned it under the lash.
Slavery taught you that labor must be.
The mighty voice of war spoke out and
said to You, and to us all, that labor
must forever be free. The basis of all
civilization is that labor mustbe. The
basis Ct everything great in civilization,
the glory of our civilization, is that la
Dor must be free.
| am glad to see that Gen. Armstrong
is working out this problem on both
Sides one hand to the South
and one hand to the West-with all
this continent of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton behind him. working it out in the
only way it can ever be worked out
the way that will give us country
without sections; a people without
stain "

Susan Ii. AnthOny'S Gains.

Susan B. Anthony said recently in
reply to the question, What have you
accomplished by your work for woman
suffrage?" ''Well, / should say we have
accomplished great deal. Since the
beginning of the woman suffrage agita-
ton, thirty years ago, we have gained
school suffrage in twelve states; law,
theology and medicine-all the profess
sions have been thrown open to us; all
the western colleges and universities
admit woman; there are in this coun-
try one thousand licensed female doc
tors, there are fifty female lawyers, and
women are allowed to practice in the
supreme court Of the United States,
although a number of the states still
shut MS out there are forty female
ministers in the Universalist church
alone, while hundreds of licensed female
preachers are in the Methodist church,
doing the best kind of revival work.
Thirty years ago woman could only
sew, cook and teach. Now not trade
hardly but has women in it. Women
are managers of large stores and bust
ness, and manage great farms with sue
cess. Why, the largest farm in one
county of Illinois is owned and man
aged by a woman. Your easten people
ought to go west and see how women
are getting along with only few of their
rights"
