Beating the Postal Notes.

The Post-otfice Department has just
had its attention called to an ingenious
method of raising the figures of the new
postal notes. The plan consists in punch
ing from high figure in the note a
piece Of paper of the proper shape and
size to q up the hole previously punch
ed by the postmaster through a lower
figure. The written words or figures are
then removed by acids, and blank filled
in to correspond with the punched dg-
ures. Some Of the notes have been chan z
ed 80 skilfully that it is very Difficult
TO detect the alterations.

Much Ado About Nothing.

Bro. Smith, (col.) has been writing to
Governor Crittenden, and Governor Crit
tenden has beer writing to T. B. Buckner,
about the way he, (Smith) has been treat
ed in Mexico. Papers throughout the
state in some way got hold of their letters
and are inclined to think we nave a ku-klux
gang here which bothers Smith because he
is a cOlored man and cant help it. Now
this is all stuff. We don't know of any
body who wants Smith to be a white man.
If he has beer badly treated, his own peo-
pie and own color have done it. We do
not know whether he has received his just
deserts or not. Some mighty good color
ed people think he has not. Be that as it
may, we do not care except that we do
do not like for any such false and hurtful
report to go out about our town. Why
did not Smith go to our county officials?
Why does he write to the Governor? Ev-
cry thing has been lone to find out who
annoys him that could be done. If he
will attend to his business, preach more
to the men and less to the women of his
church, he will have fewer troubles to
parade.

Giving Him a Start.

A lonesome looking boy was hang
ing around a woodward a few days
ago, when the owner of the yard,
having both charity and ph%ilanthrophy
for boys with tears in their eyes,
asked the lad why he didn't peddle
apples, or do something to carr a few
shilllngs. The boy replied that he
had no capital. and the wood mar
took out a nickel and said:
Now my boy l am going to start
you in life. Take this nickel and 60
and purchase something or other.
I'll buy it of you for ten cents, nc
matter what it is. Come, now let's
see what kind of a business head you
have on you"
The boy took the nickel and went
off, but in ten minutes he was back
with a gallon jug, which he had pur.
chased with the nickel.
"Well, you are a keener," said the
man. Il never saw one of those
ssld for less than fifteen cents to any
one. l want just such a jug, and
here is its fair price. Now go and
lay out your fifteen cents in apples,
and I'll buy half yonr stock"
The boy did not return. Perhaps
he fell into a sewer somewhere 4; but
you can't make the woodward mar
believe so. When he lifted the jug
from under the table where the boy
had carefully placed it, he found {
hole in the bottom of it large enough
to get a black-and-tan terrier.

oftemperance. He has recently been hold

here, and give his views on 'what it takes
to save a man." As Mr.. Brooks has filled
80 many occupations in life, his experien-

Mrs. Williams, of St. Louis, found
her husband sitting bolt upright in
the hall one morning last week. She
at once opened up on him about
staying out all night, playing poker
and coming home drunk. After she
had stopped over to the regulation
extent she gathered Williams by the
hair to drag him in out of the weather.
He said not a word, as usual. He
was dead. How he must have chuck

good woman.

may ''check" some of the boys who
spend their evenings not at prayer
meetings. Both of these games are
entertaining and instructive and moth

How to Distinguish an Editor.

A young lady friend asks: "How
a 1 tell an editor when L see him?"
Why, bless your sweet, sparkling
eyes, it is the easiest thing in the
world. You can tell HIM by his au-
gust air, by the perfect fit of his
clothing, by his elegance of manner
and by his profound silence when
surrounded by the common herd Of
promiscuous society. You may rec.
ognize him by the way he spends his
money, scattering greenbacks as Law.
ishly as shavings from a planning ma
chine. He generally drives a double
team to a park buggy, and things
hum. He also keeps two settlers, s
pointer and a pet bulldog with a bru'
uette nose He is decked in profus'
ion with the most extensive jewelry
and sports a gold-headed cane with s
rose solitaire in the center. He does
not invest in marriage associations
and is as modest as a school girl
But the chief point Is, he alway'
speaks the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. Follow
these directions and you cannot mis-
fake.

Again, That BOON.Agent.

Graham, the book-agant who, to
say the least, came very near one day
in the Mexico p%ost-office destroying
our faith i'm the doctrine of foreordi-
nation, is again figuring as a slugger.
From the Springfield (Mo.) Leader it
would appear as though Graham had
objected to a man named Martin be-
ing appointed clerk of the Senate and
then drubbed him. Graham is Ser
geant-at-Arms, or spittoon cleaner or
something of that sort, at Jefferson
City, and we suppose feels his i'm
portance CD, and thinks he should be
consulted about all appointments.
The Leader says: This led to a
personal alteration, which resulted
i'm blows. Graham is a burly, beastly
man, while Martin is small and deli
cate. 1t is fortunate that 'the code
is abolished, or there would be a field
of honah The Fulton Telegraph
then adds: IF the code was in
vogue, we'n bet a small fortune that
Bob would act as second for Martini
No. Stree! We were second in one
scrapping match in which Graham
figured, and until we can strike like s
pile-driver, We have no business in
terfering with the animals. After the
book-agent is dead, we will heat hi:
