Now, sir what have you got to say
to the following complaint? The com
plant is an old one, made to Mr.. Jas.
Bardon and has just come into our pos
session, but as it is not the only one
that has been made, we give it as a
sample and would like an explana
ton. We known you dislike to hand
out SO many copies of the TINES, but
our Duluth friends want what they
pay for, all the same. The letter
reads thusly:
Mr.. JAMES BARDoN,
DEAR SIR
On Saturday the 9th we received
your two letters, which, according to
the post mark, arrived here January
18th and yesterday we received three
numbers of the Superior TINES, dat
ed January q, Is, 9th respectively
and that Is invariably the way we re-
ceive the TINES. Would like to know
reason. Are they sent to us from
Superior in that manner, or is it the
fault OF the Duluth p. O.? Enclosed
please lind payment for the TINES for
1875. Yours truly,
THOMAS CALvERLEY.
In reply to the above we would say
that the TINES for Duluth parties
leaves Superior every Saturday after
noon, security done up in one large
package hence all must reach that
post office at the same time. The
trouble, Mr.. G. is with your postmas-
ter, and not on this side of the bay.
One of the most entertaining and
useful magazines that has come to us
recently is Demorest Monthly Maya

among the shorter stories are "a

venture" Joe Baxter, Ranchman,"
and 'The Story of the Maelstrom,'
Il translation from the Norwegian.
Jenny June gives another chapter of
How We Live in New York." Miss
Kate Sanborn an amusing sketch, en-
titled The Conundrum of the Nine
tenth Century" Mrs Hungerford one

cles of interest, and Current Topics"
and the various departments, make up
as interesting a number of this reada-
bic magazine as we have yet had.
Special attention is given to the illus
trations, and in this case with particu-
larly happy results, 'The Flight into
Egypt" a steel engraving, and the
etching of Watts celebrated picture,

ing especially fine.

A Jointsd Snake.

Jake Barringer, tenant, who was
plowing on Mr.. Sohn Wadsworth's farm
recently, turned up with the plow-share
one of those curiositics jointed snake.
The reptile was about yard in length.
AMI was put together in four sections.
The darky did not know what sort Of a
snake it,was whenit first turned up. and
hit it with a stick to kin it. At the first
blow the snake fell all to pieces, the
head going one way and the tail part
another, and the two body pieces jump
ed off in different directions. The
amazed darky resumed his plowing,
went to the end Of the furrow, and on
his return was surprised to see the snake
all together again except the tail-piece.
and watching a few minutes saw the
tail coming up to join the body. taking
sharp, quick little jerks. 1t came near
er aud nearer until within few inches
al. the three-fourths snake. when 1t gave
4 sudden jump and hitched on in lts
proper place. with fuss resembling the
popping of cap. The darky knocked
It 10 pieces several times, and each time
it came together again. He carried his
amusement little too far, however, in
throwing the tail part of the snake
across the creek, just to see. as he said,
show long it would take it to catch up.
but it never caught up. The snake with
its three joints was carried to the house,
and the tail is no doubt still going about
the woods hunting for snake to hitch
onto. Charlotte, n. C., Observer.

Som, Odd Pits in California,

The English spell the name Of Pit
River with an additional letter, rs If ut.
ter tl,e name of an eminent statesman.
But think the above is right, as the
name is certainly derived from the deep
and dangerous pits that once made 4
vast region known rs Pit River Valley
very dangerous ground for strangers.
These pitt. dug in trails and passes by
sauaws. who carried the dirt away IN
baskets, were from 10 or 20 feet deep,
iug-shaped and covered with twigs and
reeds aud leaves. At the bottom lay
sharpened elk and deer antlers; and
sometimes they sharpened flints and
spears pointed up to receive the victim.
Even if one were not disembowelcd on
first falling into the pit, the ugly shape
of it made it not only impossible for
man, but even the most savage and sup
pie wild beast. to climb again to the
light and darkness and 4 lingering death
was the Inevitable end These pits. o1
course made the land Il terror, and i
was not until as late as 1856 that thi:
| most lovely valley in all California wal
fairly possessed oy settlers. Once II
/ possession, the white n,an of course soor
| found out and marked the location o
the secret pits. and they gradually fillet
uu as they fell into 6isusc.

E;rht Months Without Water.

A weIl-known and perfectly reliable
farmer named Albert Doughty, residing
few miles east of .Connersyille, Ind,
relates the following remarkable story:
Monday last he was attracted to the
rear of his barn by some strange noise
proceeding from the inside of the buili-
ing near the wall, where ''ground
NOW" had been filed to the roof with
hay last August. Most of the hay las
been used since that time. MIR. Dough-
ty went in, and, getting on the hay. re-
moved portion of it. and made stran &C
discovery. A huge hole was disclosed
next to the wall, almost large enough
for a horse to stand in, and three ghost
Unlocking turkeys greeted him with a
chorus of whistles so feeble that the
sound seemed to come up from the bot
tom of a well. Calling a hand, he pro-
ceeded 10 remove the turkeys from their
prison. One of them died almost i'm
mcdiately after being placed on "dry
land outside the barn. The other two
are still living. but refuse to eat or drink.
II is known TO certainty that these
turkeys were covered and hemmcd 10
last August, when the hay was 'mowed. :"
and that they have subsistcd on a diet
Of hay~-wiihout drop of water--for
eight months. They are reduced to
mere bone and feathers. and the two
survivors wander about aimlessly, still
refusing food. Mr.. Doughty hopes tc
save them. however. rs they seem to re
tain considerable vitality, despite thei,
prolonged fast and Imprisonment. with
no light or air save what stole into theil
dungeon through the ''chinkS, in the
Notwithstanding. Mr.. ID. estimates
that during their confinement these tur
keys ate half ton of dry hay. The
story is perfectly authentic. and probH
bly, furnishes one OF the most remarkable
eases OF the kind on record.

Wanted Perfect Rest.

She was sensible girl. She wanted
perfect quietude when laid to rest in
that silent city of the dead. The nec-
ropolis OF her dream was not the vaunt-
ed piles of stone and the coquetry OF
landscape gardening, but *ary differ
en-. siesta. She made the following re-
quest to her friends here:
do not lay me down by the ripping
brooks side. lest babbling lovers wake
me from my dreams, nor in the beauti-
ful cemeteries in the valleys. lest sight
seers, coming over epitaphs. distract
me; but let my. last sleep be under the
counter of the mctchant and the bus

Something Better Thar Railroads.

became known through the passenger
coaches that his private car was attach
ed to the train. and rs the conductor
entered one of the coaches man from
Nerthern Indiana beckoned to him, and
asked:
'.ls Mr. Gould's car with this tramp
Yes. sir"
..Is Mr.. Gould in that car?'
''He is.
'.Can 60 in and sec him."
..If YOU can get in. !"
"Well, I'll try" said the man, as he
rose up. "Ivc got model here of the
smartest, c,,test and best washing-ma-
sheen ever invented. and if Mr.. Gould
will drop his railroads and take hold OF
this with me, I'll warrant him steady
