Some years ago, when the late Cover
nor Morton made famous campaign in
Indiana, he was accompanied by General
George A. Sheridan, OF Louisiana. The
Senator's health was at that time very
poor, and whenever lie did not feel quite
equal to making his speech Sheridan
used to deliver an address. Upon one
occasion both orators had TO deliver
speeches, and Morton, who had re-
markable memory, played a joke on
Sheridan by delivering the latter's
speech. The ground being thus cut
fromunderthe Generals feet, he was for
a moment nonplussed. But as soon as
the applause had died away he arose and
began on Mortons's speech. In this
speech Morton discussed the subject Of
hard and soft money, and had dramatic
way of producing silver dollar and a
greenhack. Sheridan had so often heard
and seen tie Senator deliver the speech
that he was able to initiate it exactly.
Thrusting his hand into one pocket, lie
produced dollar note, and holding it up
to the audience, exclaimed: "What is
this Is this money? No, my fellow
citizens, this is not money. Let me
read it to you: The United States
promise to pay the bearer one dollar.
That is not money. That is merely q
promise to pay money" When Morton
was making this speech, and arrived at
this point, he would return the note to
his pocket and produce silver dollar.
Sheridan was about to do the same
thing, but found, to his dismay, that he
had 10 silver dollar about him. The
audience began to litter at this cortre.

A Mystery Solved,

At social gathering on Austin ave-
hue not long since, the subject of bald
heads came up for discussion, and it was
the subject Of general mystifcation that
there are so many more bald-headedmen
than there are women. Nobody was
able to give reasonable explanation for
this until old Col. Swipes, who is
balder than a watermelon, and has
buried five wives, spoke up. He said il
was perfectly PLAIN to him why men had
less hair on their heads than women,
He was asked TO explain, which he did
thus:
You see, gentlemen, when man
gets mad he pulls his own hair out, and
when his wife gets mad she pulls out
what there is LETT Of it. II is a mystery
TO Inc how married man is able TO keep
a single hair in his head. "-Teras SIT.
