Washington Critic.

In the lobby of the Riggs House two
old-time friends met. One was Senator
Bowen, of Colorado; the other an old
miner, who looked trife seedy. The
Senator had Just emerged from the break
fast room. The miner stood idly gazing
in the direction from which the Senator
came.

The swindier's Contract.

AS much as the note swindle has been
exposed for years by the press, people
yet sign receipts and contracts for the
sleek-tongued strangers, which often
turn up at some bank for collection in
the shape of promissory notes. The fol-
lowing is sample of the form of some
of the notes:
Madison times. (Tallulah, Madison Parish, La.) 1884-1???, 1884-03-29

1t will be observed that by cutting off
the right hand end of the note between
the words "or" and "bearer" makes it a
plain negotiable note, which the maker
is obliged to pay in the hands of third
party.

Young wives and Servants

There is one thing about which tnf
vounp housekeeper may well listen TO
.d1,;ce She must make up her MIND
that anv servants she may hire wrs
have faults. If she calmly settles thls
in her mind she will be spared gref
deal of trouble. Her care will be to dis
cover what the faults are, and not y
fanIts ex,st. Some OF these may be IN
dured with fortitude, and will not cay
too much mental friction; others AZ
iutely cannot be borne. There are q
when the possession Of sense OF nun
will help one to bear what would ot +
wise be annoying.
