4" The Gray Mare ia the Better
Horse" ~

The proverbi-l saying, instead Of
being Flemish, is more likely of Brit.
ish origin, aud may have taken its rise
from the following circumstance: A
gentleman having married lady Of
considerable beuaty and fortune, but
whose donineering temper and disre-
gard Of marital authority on all occa-
sion made his home wretehed, entreat-
ed her father to take back his daughter
and herd owry into the bargain.
"Pooh, pooh!" said the old gentle
man, you know not the world. All
women govern their husbands and it
is easily proved. Harness the five
horses in my stable to cart, in which
| will place basket containing one
hundred eggs; leave horse in every
house where tine husband is master,
and an egg only whc,e the wife gov
srns. II you should find yonr eggs
gone before the horses. you will think
your case is not so uncommon; but il
ymr horses are disposed OF first | will
take my daughter home again and you
may keep her fortune. e."i'' 'a1.
AT the first house the son in law
came to, he heard the vile in shrill
and angry voice, bid her husband open
the boor; here he lett an egg without
any inquiry. He visited a second and
a third house with the same result.
The eggs were nearly all gone when
he arrived at tho scat Of a gentleman
Of position in the country. Having
asked for the master, who happened
not to be stirring, he was ushercd into
the presence Of the lady. Hunbly
apologizing for the intrusion. he pu,
the question Of obedience; aud OH the
lady replying she was proud to obey
her husband entered the room and
confirmed his wife's worls, uponwhich
he was requested to choose which
horse hs liked. A black gsldiny
struck his fancy, but the lady desired
he would choose the gray mare as
more fit for side-saddle. .Notwith-
standing the substantial reasons given
why the black horse would be more
useful, the wife persis ted in hor Claim
for the gray mare.

One seventy-sixth conkling.

WASHINGTON, May TO- The Prcsi-
dent in conversation with q personal
friend on the subject Of the dead
lock, said: "I presume there are q
great many people who say, why
doesn't the President make some
overtures 70 Senator Conkling and
thereby bring about solution Of the
present dificulties2" Now ii these
people will stop to consider that this
Government consists OF three great
branches, viz, the Executive, the
Judicial and the Legislative, they
will see that Mr.. Conkling is but a
small fraction of the latter, while the
Executive is one.third Of the whole.
II should not, therefore, in my judg-
ment, be expected, and do moi think
the American people would expect,
the President TO make overtures 10
so small fraction as one Senator out
OF seventy SIX"

About Our New President.


EDITOR MAlL:--Some one has re-
marked that We have become a story
telling nation, and since it is the or
der Of the day to tell stories, must
give little reminiscence OF my hired
man, James A. Garfield, President in
March. God willing. Of the United
States. o When he worked for me !
was a brickmaker down in Ohio,
among the clay knobs Of the, western
reserve. Campbellsport was the name
of the village, situated about eight
miles southeast Of Rayenna, the county
seat Of Portage county. Jim, as we
called him Of course, for nevor sus.
pected we were being familiar with a
to be president. was a hard worker.
He took care Of the team and drove it.
He was a careful teamster and the old
horses, a little bony at best, were al
ways as slick as moles. He never
yanked or "hollowed" at them, al
though there was that about that team
which did not have a tendency to de-
velop strong religious sentiment He
was one Of the boys who gotup in the
morning without the aid OF derrick !,
aud when he was, up he meant busi-
ness, He took hold OF his work what
ever il happened to be, hauling sand
or clay, or delivering brick, with an
earncstness that was very gratifying to
the boss Of the yard. There was one
trait can remember well. He never
liked to be ordered around much, once
telling was enough for him, and when
any one presumed too much on their
authority his Irish blood, or some
thing akin to that element, would
come up pretty suddenly. He would
not take any "sass" from the boys,
and when they gave him any they
very soon made the discovery that
they had got the wrong swine by the
auricle. lie was plucky all the way
through, and + don't behave had q
cowardly drop Of blood in him. I
paid him nine dollars a month. He
has since had several better jobs. l
came Of a family who have voted for
jackson ever since the Christian era,
but last October | departed from the
faith Of my Democratic fathers. TO
help make my hired man President Of
the United States was too great tenn
tation to resist for yours truly.

Living Under the Snow.


A young Bohemian couple living
near Glencoe met with a peculiar ex-
perience during the last snow storm.
They were living iua little shanty
under the hill, which was covered ina
drift, and the husband dug his way
out, and went over to one Of the neigh.
bors. Another storm coming up, he
was unable to find his way hack, as
nothing Of tho house could be seen.
1t was three days before they could
find the house. which was finally done
by sounding with a pole. They dug
through the drift anu found the young
wife as comfortable as could DO ex-
pected for girl just married and
her husband goue. A somewhat sim
liar experience is related of an adven-
ture Of Gus. Dranos and Herman.
Kloke, Of West Point, during the
same storm. They were driving
around in the drifts just over the
county line. aud their surprise may be
imagined when one Of their horses
stepped plump into the top Of a Chin
ney. On proceeding to investigate
they found house under it and
family living in it as snug as you
please. They hadn't seen daylight
Tor a week, but were making the bests
Of the situation.

Power Of the Plug Hat.

The plug hat is virtually sort Of a
social guarantee for the preservation
of peace and order. He who puts one
on has given q hostage to the commu-
nifty for his good behavior. Tho
wearer of a plug hat must move with
a certain sedateness and propriety.
He can not run, or Jump, or romp, or
get into fight, except at the peril of
his head-gear. All the hidden iphu-
ences Of the beaver tend toward respec-
liability. He who wears one is obliged
to keepthe rest Of his body in decent
trim, that there may 10 no incongruity
between head and body. He s apt
to become thoughtful through the me-
cessity Of watching the sky whenever
he goes out, and the chances are he
will buy an umbrella. which is another
guarantee for good behavior; and the
care of hat and umbrella-perpetual
and cxacting as it must be--adds to
the sweetness Of his character. The
man who wears plug hat naturally
takes to society Of women, and all its.
elevated tendencies. He cannot 60
hunting or fishing without abandon
ing his beloved hat. but in Il Q modern
enjoyment of croquet and lawn tennis
he may sport his beayer with impuni-
ty., In other words, the constant use
f a plug..ha makes man comporsed
in manner, quiet and gentlemanly' in
conduct, and the companion of iihe
ladies. The inevitable result is pros
