Mr.. Blaine was the readiest and

exact in requiring that the printers

MIR. Blaine writes a graceful, fluent
hand with few emendahone, and the
printers could read it readily, though
sometimes new compositor would
demonstrate over it. He seldom
made alterations from copy" He
seemed to fling his words down like
lightning, and they struck rightevery

Real estate in Southern Missouri has

dred per cent within the last three
wears, and will advance more rapidly
within the next five years. The Il.
R. from Springfeldto Memphis which
passes through the southern part OF
this county, will be completed within
a year or eighteen months; the Salem
road will be extended through the
eastern part of this county to some
point in Howell, near the head of
Hutton Valley; and the Missouri Riv:

as far as Salem, probably within two
years. Real estate all along the line
of these roads is already beginning to

a GreenhOrn's Irish ExperienCe.

a story Is told of an Englishman who land
ed in Dublin filled with apprehension that the
life of any loyal subject of Her Majesty was
not worth tarthing there or thereabouts The
Land Leaguers, he imagined, were all blood
thirsty assasslns, and all that sort of thing. But
it was his duty to travel in the land-a duty
he approached with fear and trembling.
Now there happened to be on his route q
number of towns, the names of which begin
with the suggestive syllable xii" There was
hilmartin, and so on. In his ignorance OF
geographical nomenclature his aflrighted
senses were startled anew on hearing fellow
passenger in railway carriage remark to ano'h
er as follows:
81 am just after bein' over to Fitzpatrick"
Sand l." replied the other, lam after BEN
over to Kilmuday."
"What murderers they are" thought the
Englishman. and to think that they talk OF
their assasslnations so publicly" But the
conversation went on:
"And where are you going now?' asked
assassin No. /.
"rm going home, and then to Fillmore,
was No 2's reply and the Engishmans blood
curdled.
"Kimore, Is it," added No. 1. You'd bet
ther be comm along wild me to Kllumaule.'

A Boss CONToRrIoNIsT.-AsChicago paper
reports the following interesting exhibition of
muscular powers rs having been given last
Saturday IN the lecture room of the Chicago
Medical College, by Mr.. Charles Warren:
Professor Parks in delivering an anatomical
discourse, introduced Mr.. Warren and eXem.
plitied his remarks by his living illustration.
The exhibition lasted all hour during which
the contortionist performed some of the most
wonderful feats, He dislocaed the joints of
his fingers and wrists, throwing them back
into place without any perceptlble eXertlon
and apparently without pain. Then followed
q dislJcaton of hips, elbows, shoulder blades
and even jaws, all of them attended with the
cracking sound usual in displacement of the
joints. The students present closely examined
the phenomenal performance and satisfied
themselves of the genuineness of the teats by
touching those portions OF the body dslOcatcd
One OF the most astonishing features of the
remarkable exhibition was the displacement
of the abdomldal viscera, which was drawn
from its natural Judgement INTO the thoraX
This, of course was accompanied by an extra
ordinary expansion of the chest, which meas
ured eight and one half inches more when eX.
panded than when in ITS normal condition
Mr.. Warren has exhibited IN ali the large
cities, and been examined by the most eminent
physicians, who pronounce his wonderful
powers as real and of great value to anatoml
cal students. He confines his exhibitions TO
medical colleges and art classes, and during
his stay here will visit them all.

The new census gives the whole taxable
property of the United Safes Mt about seven.
teen thousand millions ($lGS91 ,000OOO). This
aggregate is made up from the figures taken
from the assessors books IN the states
If we assume shat the average valuation OF
property for taxing purposes is two thirds its
real value, the aggregate real value is about
twenty-five thousand millions (S25 600, 10000.
| If we assume that the assessment represents
only onehalf It's real value, then Its real value
is thirty four thousand millions ($3l,O0O,0OO,,
10000. In 1870 the assessed val uatlon was four
teen thousand millions ($l4 lt6,0 00O00), and
the estimated true value was thirty millions
go 00,000,000). There has been gam of
about twenty per cent in the assessment, there
fore, in the decade, and of about twenty per
cent IN the estimated true valuation, accord
ing to the figures. But it Is to be remembered
that the values of 1870 were estimated In pa
per money, worth one-tourth less than gold,
while those of 1880 are estimated IN gold
itself The New England states have popu-
lstion of 100000 and and aggregate wealth
of S2652, 100000 or something over 1861 per
capita. The middle states have population
! OF 1l756000, and an aggregate wealth OF
$3.50 100000, or $473 per capita, The west
ern states, with 1S,524000 population, have
S. lS0,000000 or 1888 per capita; and the
southern states, WIN loS0O,OOO population
have $1,000, 100000, or $1j5 per capita.
So that where population is most crowded
there is the largest proportion of wealth to
each person. In New England the aggregate
public Indebtedness, exclusive of the national
debt, is S4454 per head; in the mddles states
it Is $4157; in the west it Is Sl3.l7, and IN the
south 1t is $1343. The whole annual interest
charge on state, county and municipal indebt
edness is $5S,364000, which is very nearly
the same as the annual interest on the national
debt

ISrIbing "a Boy,

there was an explosion which set the dog t.
