He Didn't Mind the Expense

''Fourteea doll;rrs for little lunch for two!n exclaimed prospereus-look- ing customer to the proprietor of a res taurant. ''Why, what do you take me for?'
 II know it's little steep,' said the steak slretcher; but you re the only soul that's been ill to-day, and my rent falls due tomorrow"
 I'm blamed if I don't really admire a man with nerve like yours, and I'll pay the swindle;" and with an amused smile the blooded stranger tossed the hash pirate d fifty-dollar note, Tipped a dollar out of the change to the waiter. and walked out.
 "What pity we can only have on. chance at man like that" murmured the dyspepsia dispenser, respectfully. But when, the next day, the rent col lector threw out the note as counter felt, his despair was such that it was all four walters and the cook could do to prevent his swallowing bottle of his own alleged wine, and thus putting an end to himself

Diseased Cattle,

The outbreak of what is known as splenic fever, in this State and in Penn sylvania, has caused considerable alarm among drovers and large cattle owners About Pittsburg it has proved very fa- tai. The splenie fever has been com monly known as Texas fever, and North- ern cattle have taken the disease recent ly in most cases where they have come in contact with Texas cattle. It is a dis ease peculiar to the OK tribe, aAdocours among Southern cattle iR a mild form in the early Spring. In others the germs of the disease remain latent and are de- veloped with great rapidity when the animal is subject to shock, such as stam- pede, or to hardships consequent on rail- road travel. It is indigenous to Texas, but exceedingly fatal to Northern eat tle
 Owners of cattle in the Northern States will probably take active meas ures to prevent Southern cattle mixing with their herds. The United States have adopted meaures to prevent the introduction of disease from imported cattle. The law provides that the i'm porter shall select a place. for the deten- tion of imported cattle. They are trans ferred thence by another vessel, and must be kept 300 feet away from any other cattle. The term of quarantine is nine- ty days, but the time of tie voyage is to be counted as part of the period The importer has to file bonds in twice the value of the animals for the observance of quarantine restrictions. In eonnec- tion with the Federal quarantine, the War Department i'll 1880 ceded to the Treasury Department a tongue of land on the inside of Sandy Hook.
 The Cattle Commissioners have been studying the contagious diseases of cat tie, and Professor James Law. of Cor nell University, has been for some time experimenting on the prevention of pleuro- pneumonia by means of inocula- ton. His experiments. however, are not so complete that Ee is rrady to give them to the public. The Commission CTS have had the subject of the Texas fever brought to their attention, and ii is presumed all possible measures wil be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. The particulars of the nalady affiicting the cattle of Central New York have been specially reported to the Commissioners. s.-Rochester Demo cr0t

Deceitful Horses.

Horses are very much like men, in their ideas about style. Let man who has been brought up on farm, live in the city few years, and he will not ad- mit that he knew field of oats from a turnip patch. Take horse from farm and drive him in the city a few years, and though he may have hauled hun 'dreds of loads of hay, and worked on 'threshing machine half his life, let a load of hay or a.threshingsmachine loom up on the street near him, and he will be so scared he will want to jump over house. You know just as well as can be that the old fool is putting it all on, but the horse thinks he is fooling you into the idea that he has always been a city horse, and you pull up on him, and try to soothe his fears, when you know you could drive him up to the load of hay and he would go to eating it. It is fun to let horse think he is fooling you.-Peek's Sun.

Flowery Writing.

No one wants to read fiowery writing nowadays. Common sense rules the pen. A poetic youth wanted to inform the prosaic world that there had been fall of snow: ''The angels rustled their wings at the hour when Aurora goes forth to fulfil her mission, and the earth white." But the editor quietly dropped it into the waste-basket, and wrote in- stead: "Snow fell this morning." Here is an example, from a country paper, of the ambitious style of e weather para graph: After a long period of unset tied weather, it must have gladdened every one yesterday morning when the sun, with all his glorious brilliancy and splendor, shone forth, with golden ray scattering cloud and mist, and with his cheering beams and glowing smile causing the birds to sing, the trees of the fore to rejoice. and the flowers of the field 70 unfold themselves in bright array" Why moi have simply stated that fine weather had at last set in? It was also country brother who thus be- gan paragraph announcing the sud- den demise of local shoemaker ~'We are being constantly reminded df the inexorability of death-the certain, and it may be sudden, visit of the angel with the amaranthine wreath as death is so beautifully designated by Longfel- low-and it is our painful duty to-day to chronicle the melancholy fact that one vino has played his part, and played it well in life, has passed through na- ture to eternity" No editor would pay penny line for that sort of thing in these enlightened times

Good-Nigbt,

How very commonplace is the ex- pression "Good-night!'' and yet what volumes it may speak for all the future! We never listen to it in passing, that this thought does not force itself upon us, be the tones in which it is uttered everso thoughtless. The lapse of a few hours may so surround and hedge it in with horror that of all the millions of words which lifetime has recorded these two little words alone shall be re- memhered: '-Good-nightr' The little child has lisped it as it passed smiling from this world; the lover with his gay dreams of the nuptial morrow; the wife and mother, with the tangled threads of household cares sstilli in her fingers; the father, going out to death, leaving home and kin unprotected and uncared for. Goodnight! The seal upon days past and days to come. What hand so rash to tear aside. the veil that covers it's Tomorrow. .-P esbpteTida.

It Will All be Right in the Morning"

When the bounding beat of the hesrt of love, And the springing step, grow slow; When the form of cloud in the blue above Lies dark on the path below, The song that be sings is lost in a sigh, And he turns where q star is dawning, And he thinks, as it sladdens his heart and his
 eye:
 Tt willal be right in the morning?' When ''the strong man armed in the middle
 watch,
 From life's dim deck is gazing, And strives, through the wreck of the tempest,
 to catch
 A gleam of the day-beam's blazing; Amid the wild storm, there hard by the helm, He needs not the dark ocean yawning; For this song in his soul not 6 sorrow can
 whelm=
 ''It will all be right in the morning." When the battle is done, the harp unstrung, It's music trembng-dying; When his woes are unwept, and bis deeds un-
 sung,
 And he longs in the grave to be lying, Then a voice shall charm, ss it charmed before file had wept or waited the dawning; They do love there for aye-Tll be thine as Of
 yOre-
 "It will all be right in the morningr' Thus all through the world, by ship and shore; Where the mother bends over The cradle, whose tenant "haS gone on before; Where the eyes of the lover Light the way to the eoul: whatever the word welcome, wall, or warning, This is everywhere cherished-this everywhere

San Fran cisco magistrates are lining them heavi- ly in the effort to make them either go to work or quit the clty. Their mis- tresses usually pay the fine.

and the plank forming the base board
OF the pulpit had been bored into and a piece
tsken out, and the goods were showed through
the hole into the empty space underneath the
pulpit The step was then placed back 10 its
FORMER position, and no trace OF the hiding

IS TO who did the stealing and why it was that
the articles were never carried of or used.
The general opinion is that the goods were
stolen from Mr.. +. NJ. Bailey's store, either II
the latter part Of 1875 or 1879, as his store was
broken open about that time and some articles
were missed Some of the shoes have Mr..

Macon Telegraph: zone day last week col
ored man. with sleeves rolled up and buSi-
ness air about him, went to Jere Hollis stable,
on Poplar street, and said he was sent there
by Mr.. SchOfield for some lumber. Mr.. Shaw,
to whom he applied. thought he was all right.
so correct was he i'm his manner. He made sew
eral trips apparently to SchOheld's foundry,
ostensibly to get the exact kind and quantity,
and both Mr.. Shaw and Mr. Hollis were satisfied
that the negro was straight, indeed they did
not think 70 step around TO SchOfelds and ask
about it The man hired a dray aad hauled
two loads. making a thousand feet in all. but
instead OF taking it to Schofield's the lumber
was carried in that direction but taken to the
store of j. 8. Norman, out on Fourth street,
where it was sold for SIKH Y-five cents hun
dred. day or so afterweri Mr.. Hollis sent
his bill TO Schofield for the lumber, which was
repudated. Investigation followed and it was
discovered that no order was given for the
lumber, and the man was fraud. The dray-
man was hunted up, and he told where the
lumber had been carried. Mr.. Norman
said he did not know the lumber was stolen.
and paid Lieut.. Wiley the money for it. Fur
ther investigation showed that this fraud had
stolen two dray loads from R. Q. Wilder & Son.
from the pile at the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad. He got away with one load. and
when he went back after the second he found
Wilder's wagon half loaded. He bluffed the
driver. and by arguing aud clustering made
Wilder's man unload his wagon, and then load
ed ND his dray. These two loads he sold also
to Norman at the same price. Mr.. Wilder
started out to look for his lumber and found
it as above stated. He ran across the thief,
who drew his pistol and told him not to ad-
vance AS he had the drop on Mr. Wilder. that
gentleman did not advance, and the thief got
away and left town. His name was given as
Dock Brown, but that is not his real name. He
will probably be caught before he is much
older. The Central Railroad we learn, lost a
thousand feet OF lumber a short time ago. and
the evidence is strong that Doc was the thief
A year or so ago he was convicted Of stealing
lumber by process simiar to the one prac-
ticed last week"

Oak farmer, Mr.. George Bennett, who
was, under mistaken identity, torn from
his home and family about year ago.
and, after hasty trial, incarcerated in
the Fort Madison Penitentiary an inno-
cent man. He was imprisoned by a
cunning rascal who sold a lot of imagi-
nary grain to Red Oak grain dealer and
fled with the money. Bennett was ar
rested, and, although unconscious of the
deed and strongly protesting his entire
innocence, he was hurled into prison and
confined one year The real culprit has
been found and Bennett has been re-
leased. Under the law ne cannot recover
damages, but the Governor means to see
to it that proper atonement is made bv
the State. He intends to advise the
next Legislature to make an appropria-
ton of $40 per day for every day that
Bennett was in the penitentiary, and that
he be presented with parchment upon
which shall be inscribed the entire facts
of the case, exonerating himself and
