John called ears) given to us, and all
four of them weighed 3 IA ounces.
There we're 3 grains, or what would
have been grains, if they had ma
tured, on one ear. On each of the
others there were IA grains, or what
would have been grains if they had
not been petrifed chinch bugs. We
marked the specimens corn so Bar
mum would know what it was and
expressed it direct to his show.

Shortly after the passage of the
fourteenth amendment a large darkey
entered Greeley's private room, while
he was busily engaged in writing at
the Tribune office. The colored gen.
tleman, with a large gold headed cane
under his arm, and a fine broadcloth
coat buttoned close around his
breast, broke right in: 81 say, Mr..
Greeley, 1 thought I would call and
talk with you, sab, about advising
the cullud people to study the va
rious sciences"
Greeley made no answer The
cheeky freedman spoke again, and in
a slightly louder tone of voice:
II thought 1 would ask you to
write an editorial advising the cullud
people to study the sciences"
Mr.. Greeley laid down his pen, and
looking up, hastily exclaimed:
"Gs way! Go to HI! Go ovel
into New Jersey, and 60 to raising
potatoes!"
The colored man didn't trouble
him any more.

How to Answer "Masher'' Notes.

There lives in st. Louis a very sem
sible old German named Muller, who
keeps a store. He has a daughter
named Nina. Not long since she at
tracted the attention of one of those
unfortunate creatures called s'mash-
ers," so called because their noses
need MASKING about ten times a day.
The contents Of the note we've to the
effect that he loved her for herself
alone. The following postscript was
added:
"P. Shat my darling may make
no mistake, remember that / will
wear a light pair Of pants and a dark
cut-away coat. In my right hand /
will carry a small cane, and in my
left a cigar. Yours forever,
ADoLPHus.'
AS the urchin said he was told to
wait for an answer, Miss Muller took
the note to her father, and requested
him to write an answer. The old
man did so, stating that his daughter
would be at the appointed place at
the time specified by proxy, he, her
father, having authority to represent
her at the appointed caucus. The
postscript read as follows:
"P. S.-Dot mine son may make
no mishdakes, 1 will pc dreshed In
mine shit sleeves. l will rear in
mine right hand a Club; in my left
hand l will wear a slx-shooter, As cal
ibre. You will recognize me py de
way l bats you on de head, a goople
dimes twict nit de Club. Wait for
me on de corner, as l have Something's
imbordant to inform you NIT. Your
trent, HEINRICH MULLER"
For some unexplained reason, Adolf
plus a not on hand when he was
wanted, much to the grief of the old
man, who meant all that he wrote.

joke on Rev. j. +. Smith.

One day last week, DR.. Rodman,
Mr.. J. J. Gill and Rev. j. +. Smith
went fishing on Salt River. Bro.
Smith baited his hook with a live frog.
For more than an hour Bro. Smith
sat and waited without getting a bite.
He did not get nervous, but with that
patience characteristic of a minister
waited and waited. Pulling up to
examine his bait he found his line
leading to the shore, when to his ex-
IRENE surprise and pleasure (?) he
found Mr.. Frog seated calmly ON a
rock by his side enjoying his otium
Gun dig. Bro. Smith declares that
the batrachian winked at him with
the most consummate impudence.

A Lucky Find,

A young married lady of this city
was in a peck of trouble last week.
She had wrapped her diamonds up
in tissue paper and placed them in the
bureau drawer. The next day she
cleaned the drawer out throwing ey-
erything out into the waste basket.
In a few days she missed her valua-
BILE jewelry. She knew in a moment
where she had thrown them. The
waste basket had been emptied a
week since. On searching in the al
ley, where the basket had been emp
tied, crushed in the mud the little
sparklers we're found safe and sound,
except that they were broken from
the settings,

FIRST PRIZE AGAIN!
Awarded to the ''Ledger" at the Press
Association Of Missouri, in Con-
yentiGn at Carthage.

The following telegram from Car

Leaders in Styles and outftters Of all Mankind,
North Side Square, MEXICO, MO.
No Fire ESCAPES.

The law to compel hotel-keepers to
provide rope ladders for every room
above the second floor, is said not to
be enforced, though it should be by
all means. Both of Mexico's large
hotels are supplied. The law ought
to be amended by the city council so
as to compel guests to get up once or
twice during the night and run up Or
down the rope ladder, outside the
window, IN their night clothes, so as
to be in practice in case of fire.
When every room is provided with
rope ladders there will be lots of fun.
Those men who invariably blow out
the gas, will probably think they have
got to come down stairs on the rope
ladder in the morning, and it will
take an extra clerk to stand in the
alleys around a hotel, with a shot gun
to keep impecunious guests from
going away from the tavern via rope
ladder. And then imagine a Fulton
man in a Mexico hotel, his head full
of big schemes, and his skin full Of
sheep dip. He has been on a ''bum,"
and is nervous, and on being shown
to his room he e the rope ladder
coiled up under the window, ready to
spring upon him. He stares at it,
and the cold sweat stands all over
him. The rope ladder returns his
gaze, and seems to move, and to
crawl toward his feet. For a moment
he is powerless to move. His hair
stands on end, his heart ceases to
beat, cold and warm chills follow
each other down his trousers legs,
and he clutches at the air, his eyes
start from their sockets, and just as
the rope ladder is about to wind
around him and crush his life out, he
regains strength enough to rush down
stairs head over appetite, and tell the
clerk about the menagerie up stairs.
o, there is going to be fun with these
rope ladders, sure.
