The Burlington Hawkeye narrates
the following: A scholar in one OF
Binghampton's public schools who had
"been over to the map Of ASIA" was
reviewed by his teacher, with the fol-
lowing result:
Teacher-"What is geography?'
Scholar--"A big book"
Teacher-"Wha is the earth COM
posed Off"
Scholar-"AIud."
Teacher-"No land and water. y
Scholar-"Well, that makes mud,
don't it?"
Teacher-"Wha is the shape of the
earth?"
Scholar-"Flat."
Teacher-"You know better: if
should dig hole through the earth
where would 1 come out"
Scholar-"Out of the hole"

The Idaho Democrat says; Several
years ago, in Bose city, VIC published
something like the folio wing:
"If the married man who was seen
at a late hour last night making love to
another mans wife over the back
fence, will send us a box Of good Oh
CARS, NUNS the word"
Reaching the office next morning
nine boxes of fragrant Havanas greet
ed our vision, piled up on our table.
1t was an experim ent, and worked to a
charm; but we have never yet been
able to understand why nine boxes
should have been sent around when
only one man was mentioned.

Meet Me In the Morning.

He had been absent year, the
youngest pupil at boys school, aad
how his mother was expecting him
every day, and she went about, proud
and happy, telling her friends of the
improvement in his studies, and al
ways ending with his being such a
good boy. Then comes Telegram
from Willie himself, the first real mes
sage that he had ever sent-how fun
ny it seemed, from that baby-and
there was just this simple FORM
"Meet me in the morning" His
mother went about all day with it in
her hand, reading it over as if it had
been in her child's own handwriting.
Then she smiled to herself us she past
ed it carefully in scrap book, while
somebody suggested framing 1t to hang
over the mantel. But all the friends
loved Willie; he was the only son Of
his mother, and she was widow-and
he did not come in the morning! There
came instead the dread news of hasty
illness, and his mother hurried to her
darling boy, Tut it was too late The
despoiler had done its work-he was
breathing out his little life in the sleep
from which he never would fully ava ken
here. Only once, toward the last, he
Enclosed his eyes swiftly and saw the
dear mother-face bending over him and
murmured, with dry, husky lips,-
"Meet me in the morning, mamma. "
Dear boy! it is morning with him al,
ways-the morning light of fairer thar
Italian skies-while we yet grope among
the shadows. But by and by
We shall go home at evening
And find it morning there.

The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-01-23
SPEAKING of the Fitz-John Porter

SPEAKING of the Fitz- John Porter case, the Globe.Democrat has the following:
 It may be that the recent death of Maj. Doug. Pope, who was an aid de camp on the staff of his uncle, Gen. John Pope, and carried that famous order to Fitz-John Porter which the latter obeyed so tardily, will result to tRe advantage of tho persistent officer, who again wants the action of several courts of inquiry set aside. Prior to the last hearing, Maj. Doug. Pope, then a clerk of the United States court for the Southern Illinois district, was ordered to procure a horse and ride over the route he had ridden over years before in carrying tbe order to Porter, and in as nea rly q possible the same time. He did So, and his testimony was regarded is tClerably conclusive that Porter tould have reached the scene of ac. tion in time. Although himself a Democrat, Maj. Pope always resented the imputation of some of the party leaders that partisanship dictated the Verdict against Porter.

A Domestic Tragedy.

MERGED, Cal, Jan. 18.-Yesterday afternoon terrible double tragedy took place at No. g quartz mine, near Horni'os, Mariposa county. Albert Bronson, aged g years, was shot by his father-in-law, William E. Sim- mons. The ball took effect in his left breast, infllctihg what is pro- nounced fatal wound. Immediate ly after the shooting Simmons turned the revolver upon himself; the bull let passed through his brain, produc. ing instant death, Bronson married the daughter of Simmons about a year ago, since which time the men have been partners in the ranching business. The young married peo- pie lived in the house with the old folks. The trouble i, supposed to have originated about their business. Simmons was aged about 70 years, and has generally been considered a quarrelsome and dangerous man by his neighbors, and has in past years had trouble with his family.

waifs from Washington |.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-In former years it was the custom of the at- torney-general to appear in the U. $. Supreme court in all cases of pub- lie consequence, and the practice was followed by Attorney-Gene Wirt, Pinckney, Reverdy Johnson, Black and Stanton. After consultation with the chief justice and associate justices, Attorney General Brewster has decided to revive the practice.
 It is said Folger will succeed Hunt on the Supreme bench and Conk- ling will go into the cabinet as sec. retary of the treasury. Davis' &C., tion in the Hunt matter is thus ex. plained by many. Folger's experi- ence in the treasury department has been unpleasant and his work hard.
