Topnoody.
fMerchant-Traveler.l l

When Mir. Topnoody had finished sup per Thursday evening, he stretched his legs under the table, locked his fingers back of his head, and remarked to his wife:
 My dear. are you aware that one week from to-dayis Thanksgiving"
 q read the papers, Tspnoody,7 was the ungracious answer.
 l" am glad to hear 1t, my dear. Have you concluded to observe the dayy"
 Why should observe it, I'd like to know ?''
 " Because, my dear, you have much to be thankful for, and it is only small tribute to the Giver of all good to devote one day specially to thanks for all our blessings"
 Tell me blessing or two, will you ?'
 Well, you are alive and we'll, and have plenty to eat and wear, and good home, and kind friends, and dear rela- tives, and a pleasant church, and nice sewing society, and last but not least, love, you have me-
 "ies, Topnoody, know that, but in addition I've got house to take care of and worry me to death, I've got aches and pains, I've got hired girl to run after, I've got marketing to attend to, I've got clothes to make, I've got rainy weather on wash days, I've got an old rusty cloak when ought to have a seal skin, I've got to cook turkey on Thanks giving day, I've got to think about busi- ness instead of thanks, and last but no, least, love, I've go, you. Now, Topnoody get out of this dining-room pretty quick and let me clean up, or you won't feel half so much like giving thanks as you did ten minutes ago."
 Topnoody got out.

 Stronger than Horses.
Auburn Dispatch.

Mervine Thompson. the champion Canadian wrestler, gave an outdoor exhi- bition of his great strength last evening. He said that he would pull against any team of horses in the city or county, and would give Sioo to the owner of the team if the horses succeeded in pulling him from ladder. Thompson quickly re- moved his coat, vest and hat. A harness resembling pair of shoulder braces. only great deal stronger. was thrown over his shoulders and around his waist, with two large straps left dangling from the small of his back. Then lying face downward upon the ladder. fixed in a horizontal position, securely lashed to a telegraph pole. he grasped round of the ladder with both hands and placed his feet firmly against another fla, round at the foot of the ladder. A team was hitched to these straps. and then com menced the tug of war. The large pair of horses started, strained and tugged But Tn vain. The man could not be pulled from his position. After making three or four futile attempts this team was removed and heavy pair of sorrels were attached to the man. They. like their predecessors, could make TO impression and the man of muscle did not exhibi, the fain,es, sign of weakening Finally one of the employees of Mir Webster took the animals by the head, and they again eNerted their well-trained muscle. This time the large evener to which the whif- tietrees were attached snapped in twain like pipes,em. This settled the con- test. The crowd m attendance were well satisfied that the boas, of the s,ran- ger had been made good. and cheered hIm heartily.
