A Dog Brings About wedding.

''Do these boats always remain at one
place with their occupantsl" inquired a
Cincinnati Nei0s-JournGJ reporter of a
captain, upon seeing at the river bank
number of living boats. "By no means, s"
replied the veteran ''these boats are
adapted to various uses. THERE'S a kind

the river by its occupants, who are usual.
ly dishonest and desperate. Then there
is the ordinary tiat-boat, which is loaded
with potatoes, corn, flour or bacon, OF
any other Northern commodity, and
foated to the south. Again, there is the
coaster trading boat, in which man
and his family make their homes and
trade with the people who live along the
banks of the river. Once upon time
one of these coasters, which started from
a small town in Indiana, was lying near
Vicksburg. Its occupants were the
owner, his very handsome, rosy-faced
daughter and large black Newfound-
land dog. The captain of a steamboat
that made regular trips from Vicksburg
up one of the tributaries of the South
ern Mississippi had frequently noticed
the dog summing himself on the forward
end of the coaster and took such fancy
to the animal that he one day ran his
boat in close enough to the shore to ask
the father what he would take for the
dog, whereupon the daughter suddenly
appeared upon the scene, and called ou
deiantly, If you take that dog you viii
have to take me toow This was the be
ginning of an acquaintance which ri
pened into friendship, and then a senti
ment more tender, and resulted in tn,
young lady becoming the wife of one o
the most prosperous and respected steam
boatmen in the Southern waters, who ais

The False Prophets Warriors.

The Arab sheiks who rushed unarmed
upon General Graham's bayonets illus
trated very strikingly one of the most
ancient and picturesque of Oriental SUI
perstitions. Few beliefs are more uni
versal in the East than the possibility of
becoming proof against all weapons by
magic art, and such a privilege was and
is naturally priced very highly by the
warlike races of Africa and Asia. This
invulnerability (Which was fully credited
even in Europe as late as the end of the
thirty years war; is supposed to be con
ferred in various ways. In Arabia and
Egypt the patient is laid at full length
upon the ground and smeared all over
with some very unsavory oil, while the
operators mutter over him a mystic rig
marole supposed to have magical power
In Burmah and Siam the same result is
attained by tsttooing the whole body
with a fine network of dark blue lines,
so closely interviewer as to give the
patient, even when perfectly nude, the
appearance Of being clothed from head
to foot in a close fitting suit of blue gauze.
Last October a soldier in the king of
Slams body guard publicly underwent
this operation at Bankok, with the
avowed intention of securing him against
the chance of being killed in an expected

Chinese quarters. But the collapse OF
the threatened tumult prevented-per-
haps fortunately for him-this practical
test of the prescription.-Nelo York. Times.

Rnftar VS.. Rntterine.

The Farmers Gazette, of Dublin, pub
fishes a statement showing how difficult
it is for ordinary judges to tell butter
from butterine. Some fine Normandy
butter, costing forty eight cents pound,
and sample of butterine, bought of a
local retailer for TWENTY-FIVE cents a
pound, were submitted to jury of nine
teen farmers, who tasted and examined
both samples. Ten out of these nine
teen judges declared the butterine to be
the butter. The makers of butterine in
this country use all the way from sixty
to eighty-fve parts of neutral lard to
fifteen to forty parts Of good butter, re-
spectively, in making butterine. These
are thoroughly mixed, salted and col
ored a golden yellow, and the tubs are
branded with fancy names as from eoun-
try creameries. 1t is said an infallible
test is to melt the buIterine and then
suddenly chill il by surrounding it with
cracked ice, when the lard goes to the
bottom and the butter to the top, the line
OF separation being plainly visible

Webstet's Court Dress.

Mr.. Webster and Judge Duane Doty.
then of Green Bay, Wis, were warm
friends, and the judge at one time was
visitor at Marsh6eld. Mr.. Webster was
very fond of fishing-the only outdoor
sport in which he indulged. While the
judge was his guest it CHANGED that a
fine day for his sport presented itself.
He accordingly invited the judge to ac-
company him in his piscatory sport. The
judge didn't want to go, and tried his
best to get off, saying he would much
prefer, with his consent, to pass that
rainy day in Mr.. WIS library among his
books and papers. Mr.. w. wouldn't
listen to him, said he could pass any and
as many days in the library as he chose,
but such day as that for fishing might
not occur again while they were at
Marshfeld. The Judge, as last resort,
said that he really could not go, asst would
spoil his clothes, that the handsome black
suit he had on was his best and all he
had, and that to go fishing in il
would spoil it. To meet this objection
Mr.. w. directed his servant George tC
90 upstairs and bring down the dress il
which he was presented at court in Eng
land, which George did. AS soon as he
appeared with it Mr.. w. said: "There
Doty, is dress for you; put it on, and
come as soon as you can, for we arC
losing valuable time.
The judge replied; "Surely, Mr.
Webster. you are not in earnest in wha
you say; that you want me to go fishing
in that elegant suit, and spoil it9'
"Yes, am" he replied; THAT i
what it has been brought down for. "
The judge still fingered, when Mr.. w.
to settle the matter, said to him; Hav
no anxiety about injuring the dress, fo
to fish or hunt in it is the only way it cal
now be made useful. Could | wear it il
Washington, Philadelphia, New York
! Boston or even here? Ii | did, wouldn'
everybody laugh at me2'
The judge was compelled to answe
affirmatively to the question.
"Well, then, " he said, "pray what j
it good for but to go fishing in?"
This settled the matter. The iudg
put on the dress, and went fishing in MI
WIS court suit, and saved his own. e.

The Maids Revenge.

The London TFuthtells the following:
A week or two ago one of our best known
peeresses gave her maid a months notice,
accompanying the warning by a smack on
the face. The maid said nothing at the
time, but brooded over her wrongs. On
the day that her month was up, after she
had received her wages, and her boxes
had been placed upon cab, she went
up stairs and commenced to 'do" hd
mistress's hair. Having deftly fastened
it to the back Of a chair, she calmly pro.
ceeded to administer a series of slaps Il

which we're ready to her hands. Then,
with low courtesy, she took herself off.

KANSAS AHEAD AGAIN.
The Boss Liar Tells a Whopper.

To THE EDITOR: When we try out here, we
can beat the world. no matter what the under
taking. We can raise more bushels OF corn,
wheat and potatoes to the acre; more grass
hoppers, chncb bugs and jiggers; prettier
women and fatter babies than any other coun-
try in the world. We can have dryer weather
or wetter rains. harder winds or less breeze Just
as we ike, Than any other country; and We
can stick to the truth longer or lie quicker and
better than any other people. Our propensity
for telling the truth is so we'll known, that. &C.
casionally one of the boys tells story just to
convince the world that we, too, are mortals.
Having read one of Eli Perkins's prize efforts
recently, and deeming the moment q critical one
for Kansas honor Judge A. ian old One-leg
ged soldier of the 5th Kan. Cav.) placed his
feet upon the table, put a long "I-hope-to-
die-if-it-aint-true expression, and remarked:
Gentlemen, El,s story is big one, and is I'M
doubleday made out of whole cloth; but If he
had been with me one day III Arkansas he could
have told bigger story, and still told nothing btt
the TRUTH"
The boys realized at once that the Judge was
about to relate an interesting story, and they
drew closer, and dropping their lower jaws in
expectation, pricked up their ears to catch
every incident.
You see," continued the Judge, 81 got q
pass one morning to go outside the lines for ber-
r1es. l rambled around until l was hot and
tired, ana then sought a cool resting place near
a large canebrake. l found log, leaned my
carbine against it, and then sat down to eat my
lunch When ! had finished eating, l care
lessly stuck my jack knife into the log, and all
at once l felt something move under me. l
wondered what it could mean, but / did not
realize the truth of the situation until looked
up and saw, about 100 feet from me and about
80 feet from the ground the head of snake ap-
preaching me. Its eyes were as big as my fists,
and its tongue as it darted out, reminded me of
large red cane. The truth flashed into my
mind instantly. / was sitting on monstrous
snake which had mistaken for log l seized
my carbine aimed at one of the snakes eyes,
and fired. The ball hit the mark, and / had
the satisfaction of seeing the monstrous serpent
die"
How big was it?"
SWELL, gentlemen, had no tape-line with
me to measure it with, but in its writhing
after l had shot it, it knocked down two and
half acres of cane. Now, this is all Gods
fact"
And the Judge, as he finished, looked so
"childlike and bland" that we all believed
him, which statement will also convince you
that we have bigger fools than any other sec
tion. Yours, for the glory Of Kansas-BLUE-
COAT.
