Is there no appeal from this decis-

"None whatever" answered the

Looking lovingly into Myrtle's

kissed the sunny-haired beauty on
her right cheek, just aft of where a
chunk of gum lay silently alongside
her jaw.
stAnd if I do not kiss you again we

Mrs. P~artinston at the Soldiers Fair.
Mrs. Darlington sat at the r~efectory
table, her face radiant with satisfac-
ton, her bonnet hanging by its
strings from the back of her chair,
and her benevolent spectacles con-
templating the surroundings.
"What will you be helped. top
whispered a gentle voice in her ear.
"Thank you, dear, for your polite
attenuation" she replied, looking
benignantly upon the charming at
tendant. ~ will take, if you please,
a cup of oblong tea with milk and
sugar-not too sweet-and if you
will be sure that it is not made of
the e~elymosinary water, that the doc
tor wrote about, l shall be much
obliged"
"How are you enjoying the falr?'
asked DR.. Spooner, as he dropped
into q vacant chair alongside of her,
somewhat to her surprise.
II dare say" said she, as she
scanned the list of delacies lying be-
fore her, ''that I shall enjoy it with
tea. When one is decomposed by
walking there is nothing like cup of
tea to restore the equal abraham, aud
here is enough to saturate the appe-
tite and give strength to the exasper-
ated limbs. This IS different, doc
tor, from the poor soldiers fare,
with only hard tactics and the long
roll to sustain them, to say nothing
to the avalanches, and how they
could stand it Is hard to see."
Il meant by my inquiry said he,
ito learn how you are enjoying the
fair-the 'Bazar'-designed to secure
q home for disabled veterans"
"Ah!" she replied, with a fervor
that seemed to add to the exhalation
from the decoction now set before
her sit is a grand display Of pat
riotism and donation for those who
helped US in our hour of need, when
cotton cloth was 60 cents a yard
and sugar 80; and it has my norpo-
ration"
She went out with the doctor, and
made him interest himself in many
schemes for swelling the fund.

it is q nuisance; it is full of holes
and yet it is not a punched coin or an

to pass as the coin would be; it is
neither a tight shoe nor a dusty day,

it lacks to be the trestle work of q

To The Editor of the LEDGRR.
MEXICO, Mo-. January 10.-You
are mistaken when you assert that Mr..
Show was a captain under the notori-
Gus Bill Anderson, and was in the
massacre of Centralia. Neither was
Mr.. Show a bushwhacker. He was
truly a brave and sympathizing man,
and did nothing he was ashamed of.
Lawyer VIM. KEENAN, can tell you a
few facts concerning his career dur
ing the rebellion. l will be very glad
and thankful if you will correct the
statement made in your paper for the
sake of his children, as we'll as my
self. Mr.. Show was 43 years old
last 18th day of February, and we
had been married on that day eleven
years. Please accept my most hearty
thanks for your seeming interest in
Jul behalf. Yours saved,

Falling Back on the Law Of Moses.

There is n colored justice of the
peace, who holds court not far from
Austin, and who gets off from the bench
some Of the most wonderful decisions
that have ever been delivered since the
days of Solomon.
Not long since, Jim Webster was
brought up before him for cutting off
the ear of COW that had broken into
Jim's garden. The case was clearly
proven, and the colored Solomon said:
81 sentence Jim Webster to be locked
up in de county Jail for de space oh one
year"
but, your honor, the statute says
that the penalty for such offences, shall
be fine, not to exceed fifty dollars"
said Jim Websters attorney.
II knows dat ar, but / takes de old
law on de subject"
ITO what old law does your honor re-
ferp"
ITO de law oh Moses, sab, which
says, an eye for an eye, toof for a
toof, an ear for an ear De prisoner at
de bar cut off one ear oh de cow, and de
law says splicitly, dat he loses years
time in de jail. Eff he had cut off bofe

Reform Suggestions.

Mr.. Topnoody came in late to supper,
the other evening, and his wife had been
keeping It on the stove for him an hour,
at least; and she was not any happier
for the loving ministration. Topnoody
saw the state of affairs, and when he sat
down to the table he thought he would
make things pleasant for her, SO he
cheerily began;
81 am little late, my dear, but | was
engaged down town in amatter pertain
ing to the city government, and couldn't
get home. By-the-way, my dear, what
do you think of the mayors reform move
mentsp'
"What movcmentsp What reformp
What mayor Is he u married manP"
snapped Mrs. Topnoody, like bunch
of shooting crackers going of.
"Well, no." replied Topnoody; "not
yet"
That's a good thing for some poor
woman"
"But was not talking about that,
angel mine. / simply asked what
you thought of his reform movements"
what are theyP Is there any thing
in them about reforming men who come
late TO their meals, who won't cut the
kindling-wood, nor bring in the coal,
nor carry bucket of water, nor fasten
the boards on the back fence, nor get
the marketing, nor stop talking city
government when they ought to talk
home government, nor read their news
papers while their poor wives are slav-
ing their lives out cooking for them,
nor try to boss the house when the wife
knows best what should be done, nor do
forty dozen other things they shouldn't
do? say, is this in them? If it amt,
he'd better shut up shop and retire, and
let woman run the machine awhile. |
can tell you, Topnoody, if | was in
there, I'd make things hum!' Then she
Went out into the kitchen forsomething,
and, while she was gone, Topnoody drew
long breath and sighed, Hum! Well,
should smile"

should be stopped. Neglect frequent re-
suits IN an Incurable Lung disease or on

not disorder the stomach like cough syrups
and balsams, but act directly on the infam-

Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Catarrh, and
the Throat Troubles which Singers and
Public Speakers are subject to. For thirty
years Browns Bronchial Troches have been
recommended by physicians, and always
give perfect satisfaction. Having been

A Scorpion Under the Skin.

There is . colored man in New Lon
don, Mo-, who for years has claimed
that he had scorpion under his skin,
and that it crawled from place to place
over his body. A few days since Drs.
Sprague and Rails, of London, couple
of scientists, coaxed the man to submit
to surgical operation for the removal
of the animal. They distinctly traced
the animal under the mans skin from
his waist over the left shoulder, and
thence back again to position between
the thighs and knee Of the right leg.
Clasping the limb above and below
where the animal seemed to be, they nd
ministered chloroform to the man, and
making IN incision In the leg, took
therefrom living reptile--not q scorpi-
on, but something like a lizard. II was
placed in u vial Ok alcohol, and the doc
tors have had several offers for Its pur-
chase. ..a E@,@

Some Pertinent First Words"

The last words of distinguished men
have been going the rounds of the press,
but we have seen nothing in regard to
their first words. We have, however,
prepared a list which can be relied upon
for accuracy:
Bonaparte-"0f Corsican."
Shakspeare-'Giye me the milk Of
human kindness"
Nelson-"Rocked in the cradle Of the
deep"
Newton--I preserve my center of
gravity"
Milton--"Paradise Lost"
Pope-"Fools rush in where angels
fear to tread"
Wordsworth--"Come forth into the
light of things; let nature be your
teachy."
Wellington--"I'm broth of boy;
would We tread on my coat?'
Lamb-"lt is good to love the I'M
known
Coleridge-"Ancestral voices prophe-
sying war"
Johnson-"A very unclubbable
man.
Washington-"Put none but Ameri-
cans on guard tonight"
Webster-"I shall defend my consti-
tution.n
Lord Timothy DeXter-"You can't
play any points on me-"
The list might be extended, but
enough has been printed to show that
the first words of eminent men have
been moro pertinent than their last. --
