AN EDITORS PANTS.

A country editor recently
ordered new pair of trousers
from the tailor. On trying
them they proved to be several
inches too long. 1t being too
late on Saturday night, and
the tailor's shop being closed,
the editor took the trousers to
his wife and asked her to cut
them off and hem them over,
The good lady, whose cucum-
bers or onions had perhaps
disagreed with her, brusquely
refused. The same result fol-
lowed on application to the
wife's sister and the eldest
daughter. But before bedtime,
the wife relenting, took the
pants, cut off six inches from
the legs hemmed them nicely,
andrestored them to the closet.
Half an hour later, the daugh-
ter, struck with conjunction
for her unfilial conduct, took
the trousers, and cutting off

A magnificent dimond has
been found recently which is
said to be larger and more
valuable than the Kohinoor,
one Of the English crown
jewels, or the Orloff diamond,
which sparkles from the top
of the Russian imperial
scepter. This one was found
in the fields at the Cape of
Good Hope. The English
overseer determined that
Victoria should be the first
person out of South Africr to
see the stone, and to break
the seal of the enveope con-
tanning it. Not only the
Queen, but several members
of the royal family examined
it carefully, and the exhibitor,
Mr.. Porter Rhodes, was pre-
scented with a gold watch and
chain by Victoria. He went
from there to Paris, to see
about selling it, but could
scarcely eat or sleep on the
journey for fear of being
robbed of his treasure. The
stone is now beingcut in Lon
don. No purchaser has been
found as yet. London paper.
Nearly all the petroleum

commerce is produced in a
district about a hundred and
fifty miles long, with a
breadth, of from one to
twenty miles, lying mainly in
the State of Pennsylvania,
but tapping over little into
the State of New York. This
region yielded in 1881 nearly
twenty-seven million barrels,
and in 1882 over thirty-one
million barrels.-Er.

EXAMPLES OF pRouIcIouS MEMORY

\ conductor must have a
prodigious musical memory
if he can, as Herr Richter
usually does, conduct such a
score by heart, never forget
ting to beckon to any instru-
ment at the very second
wanted. | say prodigious
musical memory, because the
faculty of remembering is by
no means general, but
special one. One man nay,
as Richter, for instance, know
a number of scores by heart,
another may be able to keep
an incredible number of
figures in his remembrance,
and not be able to retain the
smallest musical Motif. The
Emperor Napoleon Ill, who
never forgot a man he had
once spoken to, could so little
remember a musical theme
that you might have played
the same thing twice over to
him, and given it two differ
ent names, and he never
would have known it.
An example of the most
astounding memory is the
winner of the National Chess
Tournament, Mr.. Iuckertort.
IIe is capable not only of
playing a game Of chess by
heart, T. e., without ever look
ing at his board, but being
told his adversary's move in
stantly replying with his
countermove and keeping the
position, however altered, in
his head; but further, he
played sixteen games at the
same time in the same way ;
that is to say, before each of
sixteen tables sat player
with board, and they in
formed him after each other
of their respective moves; he
replied, and never COMPOUNDED
one position with another, one
game with another, never
made a false move, but twice
detected, where on purpose
false moves were made to test
him, the wrong direction. He
performed an especially curl
Gus feat in the house of a
friend where there was a
whist party, playing game
Of chess by heart with some
one in the adjoining room,
and when the cards for whist
were dealt, he looked once
through his cards then put
them away, and each time
his turn came he mentioned
the card he wished to play,
all the while continuing his
chess game, and never keep
ing either his chess or his
whist partner waiting one
minute for the necessary
move. - Temple Bar.

How 1t Happened.

A TELEGRAM in this saper last week
stated that the bill to authorize and re
quire the Commissioners of the county
To erect new county buildings at st
Clairsville, at a cost not TO exceed
100000, had become law. The bill
No. leo, by Senator Williams, OF
Cleveland had passed the Senate the
week previous. On Tuesday of last
week, the bill reached its second read
ing in the House, and Il motion was
made by Mr.. Hilles to refer it to the
Committee on New Counties; this mo
tion failed, and motion prevailed tC
refer it to the Judiciary Committee, OF
which Mr.. Bar2ar of COshocton, is
chairman. On Wednesday the bill was
considered by the committee, and a re
port recommending its passage agreed tc
by seven of the nine members-M Messrs
Cole. Welday, Cameron, Bargar, Zeigler
Walker and Kohler.
About 4 a'clock Mr.. Cole, from the
committee, reported back the bill and
recommended its passage, when a mo
tion to suspend the rules, read the bill
the third time, and put it upon its
passage, prevailed. The bill being reaC
by the clerk, Representative Hilles OBJ
tanned the floor, and sent to the clerk
desk to be read, the resolutions of the
Martins Ferry Republican Convention
last year. After the reading of the res
olution, Mr.. Hilles, in brief speech
opposed the passage of the bill. Mr.
Bargar, of COshocton, asked Mr.. Hilles
if uew buildings were needed in Bel
mont county, and was answered by Mr.
HIlles that there was no dispute about
that matter-that the question was as tC
their location. Mr.. Bargar retOrted
then you are here opposing measure
to accomplish an object about whict
there is no dispute" Mr.. HileS-"There
is IA dispute about the location of new
buildings" Mr.. Bargar-"Is it not Gus
tomary to build public buildings at the
