Two EDITORS AND A PoET.-There
were several men clustering around the
stove in Galveston saloon, and the
subject of newspapers came up for dis.
cussion. One man said that the ed
itors were more jealous of each other
than any other class, that they never
had good word for each other, &c.
A long haired youth, with solemn
he had some experience with editors,
and found them the reverse of jealous
of each other; that Texas editor was
always willing to deny himself COM
forts for the benefit of a brother editor.
Where did that happen ?"
"It happened in Western Texas
town where I lived" sighed the
young man. II had dashed off little
poem of fifteen stanzas about Beautiful
Spring. There were two rival papers
in the place-the Bugle and the from
bone. had heard that the editors were
deadly enemies, and sighed to shed
each others gore, and was afraid thai
if let the Trombone publish my poem

simultaneously in both papers. When
called on the editor of the zrombom'
he said the editor of the Bugle had I
large family, and that he would prefe

he loved the editor of the Bugle. :
went then to the Bugle man, and h
said the editor of the Trombone was hi
warmest personal friend, and he woult
be glad if I would let him have the pc
EN-, as it would be putting bread in hi
mouth and clothes on his back. So
owing to the love those two editors hat
for each other, couldn't get my poem
into either of their papers, and it hasn'
been published yet. never saw mel
so anxious to help each other out
distress"
There was pause, and an old man
with FROST bitten nose, drawled out:
"Yer never tried them editors with
cash advertisement, did yer ?"
The poet answered in the negative
whereat the audience significantly nod
ded their heads and winked.

A MODEST REQUEST. Darling,
wake up and stop snoring" said a De
troit woman to her husband.
"Eh? Whazz matter now?" he ask.
ed as he half raised up in bed.
won't you pleaze stop snoring? II
you only knew how homesick it made
made me Pm sure you would"
"Homesick How the deuce can my
innocent snore make you homesick ?"
"Why, you know, darling, that the
home on the coast from which you took
me a joyous bride was only a half 8
mile from Government fog horn, and
every time you snore it reminds me SO
of home that I just can't stand it.
Pleaze lay on your side and have some
little respect for my feelings"
And then the brute spread himself
out on his back and in five minutes bad
her in tears as visions of the old home
crept upon her.
WHAT Is AN INCH OF RAIN.-An
inch of rain is that quantity which, fall
ing upon level surface and not alb
sorbed or allowed to run off would stand
one inch in depth. The amount of wa
ter falling upon one acre of land when
the rainfall is one inch would astonish
any one who has given no thought to
the subject. On each square foot of
surface there would be LA cubic inches,
and on one acre, which contains 43, 800
square feet, would be 6,272,640 cubic
inches, which reduced to imperial gal
Ions, weighing 226.230 pounds, some
thing more than 113 tons weight to the
acre. The annual average rainfall IN
this locality approximates fifty inches;
consequently each acre receives $685.
tons weight of water in year.

THE AGONY.

That night dreamed a fearful dream
That filled my soul with signs.
All around me fluttering bids did seem
To rend the air with cries;
The doves sad moan and peacock's scream
Were all my lullabies.
And thought my hair, that night of dread,
Did scratch and peck the fowls,
And hens upon heated head
Did brood like wakeful owls,
And pawless bears and tigers leaped
Upon my couch with howls.
All DER scrambled great gray rats,
And turtles pinched my ears;
Fat, Shiny snails left shining trails
That mingled with my tears.
To tell such horrors language fails
The moments seemed like years.

Oh, horrors! and looked at her,

She smiled, and said, consolingly,
"Of course the rat is dead"
Upon my brow, as on stone,
A cock with CLASSY eye
Was laid, with helpless head and lone.
By cruel hand to die;
And next a brooding guinea-hen
Its nesting there did try.
She said: ''This turtle can not fail !.

Unless you choose this graceful snail,
Or spider with gold feet.
A life-like shrimp, or sprawling crab,
Would make your hat look sweet"

Merrick then entered into long explana-
tion of the circumstances of an agreement

quiry from the court, said he did not deny
facts. but he did deny that he had been
guilty of trick. He had acted with per
feet good faith, under the conviction that
he would be able to produce Dorsey. He
supposed when he made the agreement he
had the power to produce Mr.. Dorsey, and
wanted to say now that he could not.
Bliss then followed with personal expla-

they had better get to work. Merrick then
said they must ask for an extensionvof ten

of the excitement and outrages in Ireland.
Il consists of a dispatch from Granville to
Edward Thornton June 24th, 1881, also a
dispatch of Thorntons to Granville on
June "a, in which a conversation with
Blaine is mentioned. A dispatch from
Earl Granville to West. dated April 27th,
in the latter Granville says: Il think it is
well to state that Sir Edward Thornton re-
ported to me last summer that he had been
confidentially informed through a trusty
source, that the Government of the Unit
ed States was not disposed to take up too
warmly the cause of American citizens who
went to England and Ireland with the ex
press object of agitatlng and then appeal
ing to the United States for protection.
1t is considered that there was no reason
why such Americans should be entitled to
better treatment than Irishmen for the
