DERsONAL.-A single gentleman going on

of forming the acquaintance OF some young

selves no tfihefs need apply would not object

If we are not mistaken we know
who the gay young deceiver is. A
box Of good cigars would keep us
smoking for some time. We never
tell tales out of school while we smoke.
Wonder if our friend WV. T. thinks
''trifer" would answer such a per.
sonal. No one but the most staid
and steady would think of answering

A Afriend in need is Ia friend indeed. This
none can deny, especially when assistance
is rendered when one is sorely afflicted
with disease, more particularly those
complaints and weaknesses so common TO
our female population. Every woman
should know that Electric Bitters are
woman's true friend, and will positively
restore her to health, even when all other
remedies fall. A s,nsle trlalalwayc proves
our assertion. They are pleasant to the
taste, and only cost 80 cents a bottle

her to the grave, they tripped against

cannot be satisfactorily answered at

Taking Time BY the Forclock.

At the battle of Groveton Stone
wall Jackson tried an experiment
which nearly frightened a Federal di-
vision out Of their boots. Bars Of
railroad iron were cut up into foot
lengths and fired from some Of his
heaviest guns, and the noise these
missiles made as they went sailing
through the air was a sort Of cross
between the shrek Of woman and
the bray Of a mule. The. Federals
listened IN wonder at the first few
which banged through the tree-tops,
and presently one Of the pieces fell
just in front Of Pennsylvania regi-
ment. A captain stepped forward to
inspect It, and after turning it over
he rushed to his Colonel with the
news: ''7@ ''i+
"Colonel, them internal rebs are
firing railroad iron at us!''
"No!''~ 81 -
"They ire, for a fact!"
"Captain, advance your company
TO that ridge and deploy, and the
minute you find Jackson is getting
ready to fire freight cars at US send
us word. l don't propose to have
my regiment mashed into the ground
when it can just as well be decently
exterminated in the regular way!"

An Evergreen Maple Tree.

A farmer living near Schooley Noun
tain, New Jersey, has for the last three
years carefully watched remarkable
maple tree in the woods that is entirely
unlike the others surrounding it. The
leaves never fall of, continuing green
all winter, and in April were just as
fresh as in December. The tree was
tapped every week, and furnished q
plentiful supply of sap. At the present
time the tree is full Of foliage, though
every other one on the mountain except
the evergreens are bare of leaves.

Every nation has its own opinions
and customs concerning beds, and their
fitness for the comfortable repose OF
the occupants very much depends upon
that occupants idea Of what constitutes
comfort. A Persian ambassador was
shown into bedroom where o grand
canopied state bed had been prepared
for him. He supposed it was throne
in his audience chamber, received his
visitors seated on it, and retired to sleep
on the carpet in corner of the room,
in accordance with the Eastern custom
In taking o furnished house in Russia,
on inquiring for the servants bedrooms
and beds, it comes out that the Russian
servants are in the habit Of lying any
where in the passage, on the floor, on
the mats at the room doors, or even on
the carpets in the sitting rooms-gener-
ally as NEAR as possible to the stoves in
the winter season. Beds have been
stuffed W tn all sorts Of commodities
feathers, wool, horsehair, what is called
flock, which is an omniun gatherum OF
all sorts Of productions, shavings, hay
straw-and in the south OF Europe with
the soft and elastic dried leaves OF
maize; dried seaweed has also been
used, but it is apt to become moist
with use, and is therefore not desirable.
In one of the seasons when hops were
abundant in England it is related of
farmer that he sold the feathers from
all the beds in his house and replaced
them with hops. In another year or
two, when the hops failed, and the price
became very high, the same hops were
disinterred from their bed, and fetched
q considerable sum, far more than
sufficient to replace the former feathers.

In the case Of ID. III. Clark ct. al. VS.,
Custer County, in which the plaintiff
resisted the payment of taxes in this
county, the Judge decided as follows
First, that a party owning cattle which
are grazing in this county, can, if he
resides in any other county in the terri
tory, pay them in the county in which
he resides. Second, that the levy of Ii
mills for the general fund, for the assess
ment Of 1881, is illegal and that only 6
mills can be levied according to law,
also that for the general school fund
only 2 mills can be levied whereas the
levy for 1881 was 3 mills. This is of in
terest to every taxpayer in the county
as it reduces their taxes just 10 mills for
the year 1881. In regard to the special
school levy Of ia mills on district No.
5 voted by district No. 2, the Judge held
that the levy was all right and could be
collected, but that it would then have
to be paid back to school district No. 5.
and as there was no parties in interest
there was no object in collecting it.
