DR.. Newman talks very eloquent
" about the loveliness OF poverty
and the great virtue of bearing 1t
with resignation, but at the same
time he prefers to come West IN
Senator Stanford's special palace
car rather than in the hard bunk
Of an emigrant car. Doubtless
while preaching he cherished a
mental reservation that while the
need Of being resigned to poverty
is potent, at the same time it ought
not to cause a gentleman to spurn a
little good luck if it comes his way.
But surely the task of preaching
AGAINST shoddyism ought not to be
;mnosed on the good parson. Tor
while shoddyism IN its primitive
state is not very entertaining
spectacle, it is less repulslEe than
to see man blessed with educa-
ton 60 down on mental ali-fours
and creep and fawn in the presence
of money. Parson Newman was
doubtless out of his element last
Sunday. If there is one thing
which Parson Newman reVeres
mord than he does God, it is money

Steam was got up at the Con. Vir-

Two half drunken cowboys fought
a duel the other day in Colorado,
which ended in a most summary man
ner for both. Each fastened his
RATA to the neck of the other, and,
taking a turn around the horn OF
his saddle, the two horses were set
in motion at full speed IN opposite
directions. The result was instant
" fatal. Each man was jerked
from his saddle with his neck
broken, and the respective mus
tanes went scampering away over
the plain dragging the men after
them.

and over this subject she fairly groaned.

In Just month from the day the sub

be read. Fanny was among the first to
be called forward. | ought to tell you
that these monthly essays were not
passed in for correction until after they
were read. They We're TO be given to
the school exactly IS they came from
the authors hand. So Fannie began:
BACON.
The subject assigned to me for this month
is bacon. do not see how It is possible for
any one TO say much on such a subject. Ev-
erybody knows all that there is to say about
it Ii is simply the flesh OF hogs. saltcd, or
picked or DIR. ed.
Before she had read the close of this
sentence, the pupils were in such roars
of laughter that her voice was drowned
She looked around upon us with such
astonished eyes that the thing grew all
the funnier, and the boys fairly
shouted.
Even the gentle teacher was laugh
