Her Position Defined.

A well known lady of this city, Hho is
a thrifty provider, saw load of pork In
the vicinity of the central market, and
concluded to purchase couple of fine
porkers, for which she settled with the
dealer on the spot She forgot, however,
to give him sher address, and an hour
later, as she stood conversing With some
of her aristocratic friends, the man of
pork approached and "nudged" her mys-
teriously with the but end of his whip.

The following is Artemus Wards des-
cription of why he courted Betsy Jane
"There were many affectin, ties which
made me banker after Betsy Jane. Her
fathers farm jined ourn; their cows and
corn squelched their THIRST at the
same spring; our mares both had stars on
their forehead; the measles broke out in
both families at nearly the same time
our parents (Betsy James and mine) slept
regularly every Sunday in the same meet
in house, and the neighbors used to OBJ
serve: sHow thick the Wards and the
Peasleys air. 1t was sublime sight il
the spring of the year to see our seyera
mothers (Betsy's and mine) with theil
gowns pinned up, so that they couldn't
sile 'em, affecktionately bilin' soap to,
gether and aboosin' their neighbors. - {

In the year 1900 a law was estab'
lished in England which allowed but
one chimney to the castle or house of
a lord. a manor house or church. The
smoke from all others were permitted
tofnd its way out the best it could.
Tn the time Of Henry VIII Oxford
students, when chilled, were allowed
to take half hours run to get their
feet warm, no fire being allowed in
the university. So late as Elizabeth
time, even in the cities, fire was 'laie
to the wall" and the smoke escapec
through the door or root. A tax o
two shilliugs was laid on chimney

ten DAYS since that Mr.. Jo. r. Ken

knowing the particulars, and feeling
that publication of the rumor might
do him injustice, we refrained from
saving anything at all about it until
We could hear something authentic
regarding the matter. His numer-
Gus friends will be glad to learn that
the reports were false, as will be seen
by reading the following statement
written oy him. The Exchange is
glad to assist in setting him right be-
