A DUKES DIsCoMFITURE.

An amusing story is related OF the Grand Duke
Constantine, the brother OF the late Gar, Once
he gave dinner to large number Of Polish no.
bles, to each OF whom at the close OF the feast
an ordinary candle was served on a plate. When
his guests had been supplied with these delica
cies he arose, aud taking from his own plate an
admirably counterieited candle OF some sugary
substance, called upon the assembly to enjoy with
MIN Russians greatest delIoacy. Saying this,
he took huge bite from his own candle, where.
upon his expression changed to one Of extreme
disgust. One OF the nobemen had succeeded in
transferring to the Grand Dukes plate genuine
candle and had appropriated the imitation one
to his own use, eating 1t, as did the Others enjoy.

GOOD AND EVIL.

A battle is constantly going on, in which the
humblest human creature is not incapable Of
taking some part between the powers Of good
and those of evil, and in which even the smalles
help to the right side has It's value in promoting
the very slow and often almost insensible pro.
gress by which good is gradually gaining ground
from evil, yet gaining 1t 30 visby atconsiderable
intervals as to promise the very distant but not
uncertain final victory Of good To do some
thing during life, on even the humblest scale, II
nothing more is within reach, toward bringing
this contamination ever so little nearer, is the
most animating and inVigorating thought which
can inspire a human creature; and that It Is
destined, with or without supernatural sanction /,
to be the religion ofthe future cannot enterta In
a doubt-John Stuart Mill

THE sKEIN WE WIND.


BY GEORGE KLINeLE.
II you and to-day,
Should stop and lay
Our llfe-work down, and let our hands fall where
they wll,-
Fall down to lie quite still
And II some other hand should come, and stoop TO
find
The threads we carried, so that II could wind
Beginning where we stopped II 1t should come to
keep
Our llfe.wOrk golngi seek
To carry on the good design
DIstlnctlvely made yours, OF mine
What would 1t tindS
Some work we must be doing, true or false
Some threads we wind; some purpose so exalts
Itself that we look up to 1t or down,
AS to crown,
To bow before and we weave threads
OF different lengths and thickness, - some mere
shreds,
Till all the skeln of life Is bound,
Sometimes forgetting at the task
to ask
The value OF the threads, or choose
Strong stuff tous
No hand but winds some thread;
It cannot stand quite still till 1t Is dead,
But what 1t spins and winds little skein:
God made each hand for work, not tOll-stain
Isrequlred, but every hand
Spins, though but ropes of sand.
If Love should come
STOPPING above when we are done
To hnd bright threads
That we have held, that It may spin them longer

Sad, shiverlng, pOrtlonless, the hand will hold
The broken strands and know

IMPROVEMENT ON 'EM.

Among the prisoners in our County Jail are two
rather noted negro characters, Alex Kirby, a
wicked, reckless devil, and Jack Dunlap, an old
crazy preacher, One day not long since old Jack
reproved Kirby for his profanity, say: stop that
cussiu Kirby, ef you want to get outen here, you
oughter pray like Paul did, and den the locks
would fall off and de prison door'd fly OPEN"
But Kirby didn't stumble to the racket worth q
cent. He only replied; You're a fool ole man,
there's been terrible sight Of improvement on
jaillocks senCe Paul's day,"-[Clarksville Ky.

SIMPLE CURE FOR 1oCKJAw.

A correspondent Of Scientific American says:
"Let any one who has an attack Of jocklaw take o
small quantity Of turpentne, warm 1t and pour
1t on the wound, no matter where the wound Is,
and relief will follow In less than a minute.
Nothing better could by applied to severe cut or
brulse than cold turpentine; It will give relief
almost instantly, Turpentine is also a sovereign
remedy for Group. saturate a piece Of flannel
with 1t and place the flannel on the throat and

COUNTY LEGISLATION.

The board of supervisors of Henry coun-
ty met in annual session, in Cambridge, on
Monday, July II. The first thing they did
was to receive petition from Isaac Dilley,
administrator of the estate of the murder
ed Thomas Dilley. asking that the sum of
$55, paid out by him for holding the in
quest, be refunded The money was not
refunded.
The Henry county Neacs thus sums up
the business transacted;
The committee appointed to assist in the
apprehension and prosecution of the Dill
ley murderer reported that they had ex-
pended 80, 5O6.53 in procuring witnesses
and other expenses. Two hundred dollars
were voted to Mr.. Milchrist for his services
as member of the prosecuting committee.
The Judiciary committee reported a total
of So, 565. OF, county bills. D. A. Holt of
Moline poured into the afflicted ears of the
oppressed supervisors an interminable
string of alleged reasons why he should

matter was laid over till the September

FLAHERTY's FINES.

Tim F1aherty formerly resided in Milan
but those anticipating correspondence
with him would be safe in addressing theil
letters to him care of the county Jail, as
that hospitable institute now protects him
from the sunshine and the rain. Tim is 6
great admirer of new clothes, and not hav-
ing the financial backing to run up bills al
the tailor shop, he concluded to borrow the
wearing apparel of several boarders at Nc
Michaels boarding house in Milan.
The boarders not being present when
Flahcrty borrowed the articles, accused
him of stealing them. He was conse
quently arrested and held for trial.
The case came up before Justice Crop
per tins morning, when Tim Flaherty was
placed under 800 bail to answer the
charge of larceny.
The case will come before the Grand
jury
