A PARADISE FOR EDITORS. The Colorado
idea of justice may be rude, but it is certainly
correct. An exasperated editor in Red Bluffs,
having tried persuasion on one of his delin-
quent subscribers until forbearance ceased to
be virtue finally went cunning for him, and
sent the beat lover the river" The friends
of the corpse had the editor arrested, but the
sheriff sympathized with him, and allowed
him to edit his paper from the Jail. Finally
the grand jury determined that it was justifi.
able homicide, and refused to indiot him. As
soon as this became known, all the surviving
patrons of the paper hurried in with their
subscriptions, and the editor is now flush and
happy as the proverbial clam at high water.
Colorado must be paradise for country edi-

PRAYING AGAINST T1ME.-Talking against
time is common in Congress, but praying
against time is the device of a clever Brook
lyn child, who will know how to get her rights
when she comes in sight of them.
The fire burned low in the Franklin stove,
the cat was asleep on the rug, and not mouse
stirred behind the wainscot as the mother
wrote by shaded lamp with noseless pen.
All the house put on slippers of velvet when
little Rose went to bed, for sleep and she were
enemies, and she had fought him to the last
eyelash. Her voice came from the bedroom
now with no sound of surrender in it, TWAS
better to be at prayer than to be asleep, and
of course no one could reprove her for pray
ing.

Mr.. Charles Swan. Bless papa and mamma,
and make US all good so that we can go to
heaven at last, for Jesuss sake Amen"
There was a short pause, and then the
wide.Rwake, defiant voice went on:
keep grandma from dying before she gets
here. Don't let anything happen to her
Don't let any bears or wild beasts eat me up.
Bless grandpa and grandma and Mr. Charles
Swan, and Aunt Kate and Aunt Sophia.
Another pause, little longer than the FIRST

STANLEY's Work ON THE CoNGo.-A corre-
spondeut of the London Telegraph who has
been with Stanley on the Congo represents
Stanley's success in his work, that of estab-
fishing commercial stations for the African
international association, as thorough as it is
extraordinary. He has opened nine stations,
each OF which consists of one considerable
store house and several other buildings, and
the sixth of these above the oataraots on
Stanley pool, he has named Leopoldyille, in
honor of the king of the Belgians, president

Anew weeks ago there came to one

from Marlette Il Folsom's camp,

afflicted with one of the strangest
maladies which ever puzzled the

man complained Of curious pai"s

by excruti.ting ischings which rem

tor was at a loss to know what to
call the malady until he finally ad
ministered powerful emetic, and
to his astonishment discovered that
the unfortunate man had bugs in
his stomach known as the ctnae.r
lecta.larius whose bites were driving
him to distraction. After three
days of repeated emetics the man
was cured and went back to work.

IL WOn't " Ork.

There is a proposition before the
Nassachuse it's Legislature to white
wash tho memory Of Oakes Ames.
The Springfield Republican assails
il with infinite scorn, and calls
upon the Legislature to include
Dorsey, Brady and all others who
have used public trusts falsely. if
Ames is now to be vindicated by
the people whose good nsmo he Gid
30 much to injure. The Republi-
can prints extracts from his letters
wherein he boldly boosted that he
hsdcorrupted Congressman in ordef
to interest them in his business
and to the proposition of whitewash
cries "shame!' But it might go
still further and add that to avoid
an honest 80 Element with his own
partners, Ames insisted that he h d
paid money in brides to men whose
palms we're never crossed by
one of his d,llars. His vindication
would be fostering old ISLANDERS
upon the names of innocent men !;
men too, the latchets of whose
shoes Cakes Ames was not worthy
to unloose.
The Eureka Leader has figured
ont that the snbdued sounds which
issue from a sea shell when held to

the blood in the finger ends. The
falsity of this theory can be ve'y
easily demonstrated. Put the she ]

ShOe Your Horses.

The best informed horsemen shoe
their animals at least once a month
aud some even oftener. There are
several good reasons for this. When
a horse is shod with caulks that
keep his toes we'll up it is bad if
the caulks wear down to the leve
of the shoe thus throwing the hoof
too far forward and giving him

stopper has been spoiled ut erly by
