His Poor Family.

A delegation of charitably disposed ladies called on close listed merchant to solicit his aid in relieving the neces- sities of poor family.
 'What is the name of the reduced family ?" asked the merchant. 1.-The lady has seen better days, and IS too proud to allow her name to be mentioned in this connection"
 "That's just the fix my family is in, If l were to contributs might be con. tributing to support my own family as objects of charity. My pride will not suffer me to take any such risks as that"
 ."But we. assure you, Colonel, that this poor but respectable family is not your family" t--@
 ''Are you sure of it2"
 Certainly, Colonel, certainly"
 "Well, then, can't conscientiou shell out single nickel. I believe in the motto that charity begins at home.'" .. - >....4.

THREE WISE M1oE.-A Kansas story is about three mice that rolled an egg down a stairway without breakage. One held the egg in close embrace, while the others rolled him like ball from one step to the other, always managing to let him strike on his back, thus protecting the egg. The man who saw it does not hesitate to add that they rolled the egg to small hollow in the floor, which steadied it while they cut through the shell with their teeth and emptied 1t.

The Funeral of a Hermit.
UNoLE IRA AND HIS TRIP TO THE BURIAL
 GROUND

A correspondent writes the following account of strange funeral he attended among the Berkshire Hills, Massachu- setts:
 B. and drove to the church and went down into the little ravine behind 1t. Here we stood for while waiting until we saw slowly ascending the hill & solemn procession. Two huge oxen came first, drawing wooden sled, on which was rude coffin, covered" with a black cloth. On either side of the sled walked two rough countrymen with long whips immediately after, with tear stained faces, walked the near relatives of the dead man. We joined in the procession, and soon reached beautiful wooded knoll just outside of the small, clean yard. Here was the newly.dug grave, and as the patient beasts toiled to the side of the great yawning hole, we formed circle around it. The coffin was lifted from the sled and in silence lowered to its last resting place. Not word was spoken, and the oxen from time to time turned their great heads as though to have one last, look at the master who had cared for them in all these past years, and so loved them that he desired they should carry him to his grave. All stood silent as the earth was shoveled in by the sturdy coatless mon only the rushing torrent of the mountain stream near by and an occasional bird note in the stiffness. At last the work. was complete, the spades laid upon the sled and the huge beasts were slowly turned into the path, we following, until we reached the little homestead at the foot of the ravine. The oxen were unyoked and quietly walked into field and stood gazing at the solemn procession that wound past them on to the piazza of the house. A few words were spoken, the key turned in the door, and, with "Well, we shall all miss Uncle Irs," each went his home ward way.
 And now for the strange story of the man whose ending was but in keeping with his lonely life. Fifty or more years ago stout New England boy had accumulated acre by acre, and his say ings enabled him to build comfortable house and barn in one of the most beau- titul spots of all Berkshire. House and homestead were made ready for his wife. He thought he had won the heart of a neighborihg beauty, but it was the old story; a new wooer from town carried off the faithless dansel, and so for fifty years the man lived alone--literally alone-with his animals. Not until a few weeks ago would he allow woman to come near him then he had grown weak and worn with age and disease.
 His relations from year to year called upon him at times, and he was con- stantly going into the village and doing all the good he could in his own peculiar way. An anchorite, but not hermit, he lived outside of the world, outside of the church, and his last commands were that he would die as he had lived. No clergyman was allowed to come near him, and he selected the spot, outside of the graveyard, for his resting place, & knoll which overlooked his lonely home. It was curious episode of steadfastness and simplicity on that beautiful June morning among the awful hills.-Phalo- deLaohSCZ LedOer

HoPs.-About 10000 acres in Great Britain are under hops, and the differ ence between good and an indifferent crop means millions sterling. A good crop realizes half ton to the acre, and this, at $25 per cwt. amounts on TO- 900 acres to 17,50O,O 900. A blighted crop (there is much blight this year) may be estimated on the same basis at but $7O0, GOO.

THE TRIAL of Guiteau is really get

idea that lynch law in its place and

to be. The result in putting the assas-
sin in the prisoners box where al! vile
criminals like him should be put, shows
that Judge Cox need not have hesitated
so long about making the change. The

THE GREAT COTTON exposition at
Atlanta is over and it is gratifying to
learn that it has been popular If not
a financial SUCCESS. Such an immense
affair was never before held in the
South and its benefits cannot be meas
ured by counting up the dollars aud
cents expended or collected. That an
exhibition of this kind should pay the
expenses both of it's management and
it's organization is not to be expected.
1t is enough if such shows are well at
tended and if those who visit them are
instructed and entertained. The fair
at Atlanta has been successful in this
respect, and thus the energetic men
who had the matter in charge have
been rewarded. 1t was expected that
she fair woul i hava great effect upon
the social and friendly relations be-
tween The people of the North and
South but whether this expectation has
been realized depends upon what pro.
portion of the visitors were from the
North. That it has had more or less
influence in that direction however
cannot be doubted. The receipts OF
the fair were only one hundred and
thirty-tive thousand dollars while the
buildings cost one hundred and forty
thousand aud the total expenses were
not much less than two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.

OWING TO the unfavorable weather
Of the week between Christmas and
New Years, and somewhat to the ne
elected condition of the streets, there
is considerable sickness in our city OF
present. This renders it very import
mt that every one should according to
his ability preserve his health by OBJ
serving those laws Of nature upon
which the maintenance Of health de-
;>auds, Wholesome food, regular hab-
it,, per.'oaal cleanliness and care 'zer-
cised to prevent the accumulation OF
refuse on the premises, and to see that
no iIl-arranged or defective pipes are
conveying sewer gas into the house
are the most effective agents for che
prevention OF disease.

WE WOULD REMIND Republicans
that they cannot vote at the city cleo
ton in june if they do not pay their
county taxes, and there is only four
weeks intervening between now and the
February meeting of the Levy Court.
1t is true that they have until the
March meeting in which to pay them,
but the sooner they are paid the bstter,
and then the anxiety will be off the
mind. 60 now and pay them, and dc
net wait until either February or March.
We would ad wise Democrats also to &c
and pay their taxes, but that would be
'upertluous so far as getting a right &c
vote is concerned, for they will vote
anyhow whether their taxes are paid Oh
not.
