Two Circular Counties.

There are in Tennessee two coun- ties, Warren and Overton, which are each as round as wheel. This comes of statute which provides that no new county shall build its court house within twenty miles of any established county seat; hence, for the new sites of Warren and Overton points were selected at least that distance from surrounding court houses, and the counties became as round as if the point of a compass leg had been placed for q pivot and the new boundaries described with mathematical exactness, the county sites representing the hub of a wheel.

"Jack High"

The Nashville correspondent Of the Louisville Commercial tells the fol lowing absurd story:
 Johnson was fine poker player, one of the best in Tennessee. He used to tell of game he played with Grant in 1866. Grant was then Ut Washington and visited the presi- dent one night. After short talk Johnson proposed a game of poker. Grant, who was an inveterate play CT then, jumped at the chance. Cards were brought and they began to play. Grant lost steadily and heavily. The game was $1, call $3, and no limit. At last Grant said "Johnson, I will play you one more deal around and we will quit; I am tired of this d-n foolishness.' John son dealt and wouldn't come in. They made it jack pot.
 The jack pot went on increasing in size; neither could open it. At last there was $64 in the pot. Grant was dealing. Johnson picked up his cards: he had two pair of aces up. Grant looked as his cards, and quietly laid them down. Johnson said:
 "I will open for $20."
 "Grant, without moving a muscle of his cast-iron countenance, leaned back in his chair and said slowly, looking at his cards all the time:
 ''I will have to raise you $50, An dy, l can't help It.
 Johnson was little surprised, but stood the raise. Grant asked Johnson how many he wanted.
 q just want one; how many do you wantY .t
 'Eh? said Grant, carelessly, I don't want any this time
 Johnson picked up his card. It was an ace. He bet $100.
 'I will see your $100, Andy, and raise her $200O.
 Johnson sad afte-ward the bet came near taking the breath away from him, but something told him Grant was bluffing. He felt pre- sentiment that he was.
 "Grant, I will see your $2000 and raise her $500.
 Grant clenched his teeth and his lips came together like steel trap.
 q will see your $500 and go you 5000 better" q got little scared, :" says Johnson, land thought that maybe he had fours on me, so l said, 'I'll just call you, what have you gotY' Jack high" says Grant, and with an oath jumped up from the table, got his hat and left, giving Johnson his note for all he had lost.

Cat,erpillars.

A speclal of the 2lst to the St. Louis Post Dispatch from Memphis says
 A special from Columbus, Miss. states that great apprehension pre- vails among the planters in the prai- rie belt on the account Of the appear ance of the cotton caterpillar in alarming numbers. Every known means of destruction of ghese pests is being employed, which, If not sue cessful, will cause serious damage to the growing crop. The same spe- cial states that scarlet fever Is rag Ing in that town to an alarming ex- tent, and the Board of Health is act lively engaged in efforts to prevent it spreading and becoming epidemic.

A Holy War Fear6G.

Rev. Mangazar Memgasarlan, preaching at Bethany Presbyterian Church, said Arabi Bey was q pa triot, and upon juncture of his forces with the Prophet Fl Mehdi, which is sure to occur soon, 2,000,. 900 Arabs will spring to arms. The reverend gentleman is q native of this country and a graduate of Princeton College, but has long re sided in the East. He said to the World correspondent that Arabi Bey's part in the struggle in Egypt was prompted by commendable and patriotic motives. The real power in Egypt has been held by England and France through their financial agents, who were sent there to see that Egypt's debt to France and England was paid. They practically governed the country through the control of it's finances, drew enor nous salaries and lived mxuriously He did not believe the Sultan would interfere in Egypt. If he did he would do It unwillingly. He will not send Mahometans. The Turk is the everlasting enemy of England, as of all other Christians nations, and if the Turks go into Egypt they will unite with Arabl against the armies of Great Britain. It was wise that theSultan had not interfer- ed in the Alexandrian struggle. "Before foreigners came to protect us" said MT. Memgasarian, "we had better peace and greater safety Tn the East than now. To-day there is a British Consul in every city in Turkey. Why? To protect Christ ians, but their presence only stirs up the Turk. He looks at the elegant dwelling of England's Consul; he determines to show England that he is not afraid of her or her Consuls he snatches up his sword, rushes into the street and plunges it into the first Christian he meets. Long have we look to England for help but our hope has been disappointed and alas! we have often found tha it was not SO much the safety of thu Christian she cares for as her owI selfish interest. You have heard O the false prophet, as he IS called D, the American newspapers. But tn
 Arabs think him true prophet It is predicted that prophe shall arise, and this one, with
 large army, is marching to joil
 Arabi. No other soldiers fight as tn
 Bedouin Arabs as long as their rc
 ligious fire remains. When such religious fire binds these armies tC gether there will be an enormou
 uprising in the East. The Arab never fight for land or power. It
 a religious war every time. The
 know that the gates of Paradise ar
 under the sword; that the sword
 the key to Paradise. You can SC
 that the uprising of one hundred an

An Old And Good Medicine.

But few persons outside of physicians and druggists know what suffering Is endured from that troublesome and painful disease-the Piles-many or whem would give and do most any thing to get relief. There are a great many emedies-called remedies-for curing this trouble, but only about one out of ten afford any relief. We nave personally known individuals who have tried almost everything they heard tell of, and their experience IS that Swayne's Ointment, put up Dy Dr. Swavne & Son, of Philadelphia, is the hest medicine they ever used.-From Chester County Village Record, Decem- her 18th, 1881. This paper Is one of the country weeklies in the U. s., and was recently appraised at $l00,000.

We often sec that a soldier who is court -martialed is "dismIssed the service with loss of pay" and many ask what that means. Itmeans that the government becomes highway robber, and because it has the power 1t steals the pay that is due the sol dier. For instance, suppose when Mason shot at Guiteau he had six months pay due him, if he is dis missed the service with loss of pay, the government steals that amount of money from his family. The gov ernment does not take into consid. eration that the soldier earned his money up to that time, and that he is entitled to it, but says, "You git, and you don't get cent" It is an outrage. If q business man should discharge an employee for cause, with loss of pay the employee would compel him to pay it by law, or put head on him as big as a re- frigerator car, and he would be jus, tifed. The government, as a petty larceny robber, is a success at times. -Peck's Sun.

A very pretty and refreshing or nament for room may be made out of an old sponge or large cheap new one. Having dipped it in warm water, squeeze out onehalf the fluid and put into the holes the seeds of millet, barley, cress, purslane, red clover, grasses and so on, according to taste. The seeds, however, should be such as will germinate easily and yield a variety of harmonious colors in their leafage. Place the sponge thus seeded on a vase or hang it in q window, facing the sun. Sprinkle with water every morning during the week, and it will soon be green with vegetation.

Mir. Jay HubbeH is really cruel. We have before us two of his assess, ment circulars of which he and the Congressman acting with him ought to be ashamed, no matter how little they are inclined to blush at the gen eral run of the business in which they are engaged One of these Reppblisan assessment circulars re- qnlres $6 20 from 2 little boy l2 years old, employed in navy yard at $l per day. This little boy, whose name for obvious reasons we decline to give Mr. Hubbell, is an orphan employed as an errand boy, and whose small pay is the support of a widowed mother and one or two chil- dren.
