Ahe Story Told by WIdoer
Green.

= I'm goin' to die, said Widde1
Green I'm goin' to quit this airtb-
iy scene. 1t amt no place for me
70 stay, in such world as dis to-
Gay. Such works and ways is too
much for me. Nobody can't let
nobody be. The girls stick thei1
hats away up high, to see il the
TOP won't scrape the sky. and
then they're founced from TOP to
toe, ana that's the whole OF what
they know. Then men are mad
on bonds and stocks, a swearin, }
an ashooting picking locks, till
I'm dredful 'fraid Ill be hung
myself, il I amt laid on my final
shelf. There amt a cretar but
knows to-day ] never was q luna
TIC, anyway. But now since crazy
folks all go free, I'm real AFRAID
they'll hang up me-. There's an
other thing that is pesky hard; I
cant so into neighbor's yard to
say how be you? or borrow pin,
but what the papers will have Il
ln they're pleased to say that
the Widder Green took dinner ON
tuesday with Mrs. Keese; or, our
worthy Mrs. Green has gone down
to Barkhamstead to see her son.
Great Jerusalem! can't T stir with
out raising some feller's fur? But
the printing press and telegraph
must blaze it round to make folks
laugh? There is no privacy SO to
say no more'n il it was the judge
ment Day. And as for meeting, I
want to swear, whenever 1 put my
head in there to hear Old Humid
red spoiled, and done like every
thing else under the sun. Why it
used to go so solemn and slow,
praise ye the Lord all men be-
low" But now it goes like a gal
Looping steer, hi diddle, didle, here
and there. No respect for the
--4'iR Gptfts lO more II Il ne Was
hand and glove with all the Gre
lures He ever made, and all the
ljgs that ever was played. Preach
ing, too. But there I'm dumb, but
| tell yoa what, I'd like it some, il
good old Par5on Nathan Strong
out Of his grave would come along,
and give US a string taste Of FIRE,
judgement and Justice is my de-
sire. 1t ANITA love and sickest
sweet that makes this world or the
other complete. But Ia, I'm old
I'd better be dead, when the
worlds a turning over my head
and spirit a talking like tarnal
fools, and crazy people murderin'
round. Honest folks better be
under ground. So fare you well
this airthy scene viii no more
be presented by Widder Green.

MrssRs. U. L. WESTON g. Co.
Gentlemen At the solicitation of your
Mr. Weston carried home few weeks
ago enc OF your Hawley Washing Machines
upon trial. We gave it fair and impair
tial trial and pronounce it awonderful sue
cess. regard it the only machine that
ever saw that will wash and not injure the
clothes. 1t does its work rapidly and saves
q great deal of labor. Every family should
have one. My old colored washer-woman,
Immediately after trying it stated that if I
would let her have the machine that she
would do the washing of my family the
balance Of the year for nothing, thereby
saving me some $1S or $20.

fled that can wash as many clothes on it

My wife has given your Clothes
Washer and Wringer several i'm
partial trials and we are delighted
with the result. The Washer is
a great labor-saving machine and
it also saves at least one-half Of

machine to the public.

AEssPs. U. l.. WESTON & Co:
Ny wife has had very strong prejudice
against all kinds of patents for years, and.
especially, washing machines. So strong
was her prejudice in this direction that
even after | had bought one of your
washers and carried it home l found it
difficult to prevail upon her to try it. Her
mind was made up from the beginning not
to like it, but to her great delight, after
once trying it, she is prepared to say that
it is all you claim for it. The washer is a
remarkable success, and IN my judgement,
every house-keeper should get one just as
soon as possible. 1t saves d vast deal of
labor and trouble, and anu satisfied that il
saves at least one-hslf the soap.

THE RIGHT PLAN.

If hangings were conducted with that gravity which becomes the man. date of justice; if the certainty of the penalty was ever present to the mind of the criminal, with the equal cer tainty that he must suffer his doom without the hope of recognition as q hero; if the reporters of the press were rigidly excluded and were de nied all knowledge of the circum- stances so that the mere fact of a legal execution could be announced, one of the chief objections to capital punishment would be met and the public influence would be vastly greater and better.-Lake Valley Herald.

Some thousands of persons assem-
 bled in the neighborhood of the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, on Satur day to witness Mir. Irving Bishop, we'll known in connection with thought reading entertainments, to take up challenge by a prominent local gentleman to discover a pm se' creted by the latter within radius of 800 yards from the hotel. The pin was hidden while Mir, Bishop re mained in the hotel in the custody of local clergyman. At o'clock MT. Bishop emerged from the hotel blindfolded and drew the challenger with him, the connecting link be tween them being piece of piano wire. Having trsversed three or four streets, Mir. Bishop entered the Neptune Hotel and discovered the pin inserted in one of the window sashes on an upper balcony.-St. James Gazette.

A question which has perplexed locators of mining claims fer some time, and on which there has been a difference of opinion among claim owners, has been settled by the United States Land Commissioner at Washington. The question asked was this: "Is location made on a quartz lode or ledge on the first day of January, 1882, subject to reloca- tion on the first day of January, 1883, provided the required assessment work has not been done for the cal endar year of 1892" To which Com missioner Nc Farland replied: Tt is not. The locator of a claim initiated on the first day of January, 1882, has until January l, 1884, to complete the first assessment work; which work when done would hold tLe claim until January 1, 1885.-Mining and Scientific Press.

WashingtOn's Birthday.

! The breakfast china stood in rows,
 And all was smart and bright at home, | Where Patience stood in Sunday clothes,
 Waiting for Jared Judd to come, For it was Washington's Birthday, And Jared was to take her down To Bristol Township for to stay,
 And see the doings Ill the town. So up he comes, all sprucelY dressed:
 A finer sight you never see Than Jared in his Sunday best With light blne coat and figured vest
 And splatterdashers to the knee. Then Jared's heart beat nation high,
 As down they rode the turnpike way, With Patience on the billion nigh
 Behind him, on the dapple gray. The town with flags was all afoat;
 They tiuttered In the frosty air; And all the men of local note
 Were gathered there from everywhere. And ttere they see the butchers stalls,
 With "show beef' hung, and ribbons gay, And flags tackled up against the wall,
 Where sirloins stand in fat array. The life and drums are playing loud,
 And likely girls the sidewalks hem, And close behind the band, a crowd
 Of men and boys march after them. The drummers make pesky noise,
 The ffer flies with might and main. The girls laugh at the men and boys,
 Then look away and laugh again. And on the common, near at hand,
 They'd brought the old town cannon out And built ten-foot speeching stand,
 With flags and strsamers hung about. And there they see the train-band stout
 All step about with measured tread, While Captain Green gives orders out,
 And marches boldly at their head. And then Judge Dean he makes speech,
 While great men sit along the stand. Says he, ''The train band men will teach Our foes to shun onr native land. At which all cheered; and Captain Bent He jabbed a red-hOt poker to The cannon's butt, and of 1t went,
 It shook the folks all through and through It frightened Patience so, she caught
 At Jared's arm and shook for fear; And so he took her by, and bought
 Her cooky-cakes and ginger-beer. And so the holiday was passed;
 And as the afternoon grew late, He took her home, and said goed-by,
 And kissed her near the garden gate.

A Colorado miner, who owned four fifths of lode claim and desired to have the same patented, but to which the co-owner refused his consent, asked the General Land Office how to proceed. He was advised "that there seems to exist no good reason why you may not institute proceed ings for patent in the joint name of yourself and co owner, either with or without his consent. You may be able to enforce contribution from such co-owner for his proper propor tion of the expenses of patenting in the courts. You cannot receive pat ent for an undivided interest, and this office has no authority to com pei co-owner to join in an spplica tion."-Mining and Scientific Press.

An itiner- ant Wasp passing that Way casually remarked: Speaking of Tails, re minds me that I Possessraone which May possibly be Influential enough to Wag you Both."
