killed by Congressman Thompson, will
Institute n civil action for damages

A TERRIBLE SPREE.

You're looking pretty fresh this
morning." observed the munaning
editor, as the religious editor strolled
into the sanctum, and put his feet up
on the desk to tie his shoe.
Don't feel very good!' growled the
religious editor. Il got off with some
of the boys last night, and We had Il
racket; now your her me shout
who was in the party'' inquired
the managing editor, enviously.
"A lot of clergymen were showing
stranger around" replied the re
ligious editor, stretching out full
length. I've went from one church
to another to see how the prayer
meetings were getting on, and then
we called on several cid fellows who
were too superanuated to get around
with us. They all set 'em up"
Set up what?" demanded the
managing editor. rather startled.
Lemonade and biscuits and dough,
nuts" continued the religious editor.
by that time it was nine o'clock,
and all hands were getting excited.
and somebody said he knew man
who had cider in his cellar. After
we had downed quart or two of
that, we began to get reckless. SO
we went to The house of one of the
brethren and sang hymns till half
past ten. L got notion how things
were coming out, and wanted to Jump
the game; but they wouldn't have it,
and the most hilarious man IN the
crowd said if we could come around
to his house he would cut a pie.
That made 'em all fairly wild. and
away we went After the pie we had
some more hymns, and finally, to wind
up the whole business, sent out and
bought a watermelon. That busted
the racket. They got to throwing
seeds at each other, and they laughed
so loud that you could almost hear
them in the next ROOM"
'Anything else?" inquired the
managing editor, dryly.
No. responded the religious
editor: "When we had finished the
melon we all went home. but you bet
some of those dominies have got a
head on 'em this morning"
"Shouldn't wonder assented the
managing editor And | don't sup
pose you feel much like work"
Il might be braced up to it," grin
ned the religious editor. with an eye
on the closet door.
And the managing editor pulled
ont the demijohn and the religious
editor washed down the last recolIec-
ton of the night before with copious
draught of fourth proof forgetful
ness. - Brooklyn Eagle.

to examine candidate for admission

rather deficient in Blackstone and

though he lacked the requisite prep

the examining attorney.

EXECRABLE ECCENTRICITIES
HORSE-RIDING.

Horse riding is much better exer-
else than walking. The muscles of
the arms and chest are exercised in
guiding the horse, those of the back
are called into play in keeping the
balance, and those of the lower limbs
in springing from the saddle. The
mind, too, is diverted from thought
both by the necessity for ordering
the animals movements and by the
rapid passage Of objects on the road.
In fact, no mode of exercise IS SO de
lightful as horse riding, and Fannie
Kemble had reason in always
speaking of woman on horseback
as "a happy woman" 1t is not easy,
however, for the majority of middle
class people to employ this method
of improving their health and spirits.
The principal objection" as Oliver
Wendell Holmes says, lis of tinan-
cial character Riding is good for
those that are born with a silver
mounted bride in their hand, and
can ride as much and as often as
they like, without thi" king all the
time they hear that ste~dy grinding
sound, as the horses jaws trittrate
with calm, lateral movements, of the
bank bills and promises to pay, upon
which it is notorious that the prof
gate animal in question feeds day
and night" A horse indeed. is
rather tyrannical servant. He will
catch cold, if you keep him standing
too long, and like Goldsmith's
Lovely Woman" will bring repent
ance to his master, and wiring his
bosom by dying off He has his
liver, and his little tempers, and all
the rest of it, ju,t as much as your
self. The best of horses, like the
best of husbands, is not perfect, and
is trying at times. Finally, he wants
saddling, and he wants dressing for;
and if you can only snatch half an
hour at time for exercise, these are
undoubted obstacles to horse riding
as the means of taking it London
Society.
