Wind on the Prairies.

"The prairies of the West are great
places for wind" said telegraph op.
orator. 81 used to have a station out
in Nebraska, right out on the open
prairie, and the way the wind blew
there was caution. But 1t was lucky
wind for me. At station about IL miles
west my girl lived, and as l had no Sum
day trains or business Of any kind, j
used to 20 up there and remain over
Sunday. But living horse from Sat
urday night to Monday morning cost
too much money, and so / rugged up a
sail on al old tie car. All | had 70 do
Saturday night was to hoist my sal,
push that tie car out on the main track,
and in less than AL hour i was at my
Journeys end. For more than year
1 went to see my girl every Saturday
night by means Of that car. Pretty
sleek, wasn't it?"
"Yes; pretty sleek. But do you mean
to say that the wind blew in the same
direction every Saturday night during
all that timer"
"0f course don't"
"Well, how did you manage 1t on
those nights when it blew in the other
directlon?"
Easy enough. had another girl at
q station l5 miles east"

Chinese Treatment of Anima ais.

The author Of travels on Horseback
in Manchu Tartary" says:
"They never punish; hence mule,
that in the hands of foreigner would
be not only useless but dangerous to ev-
cry one about it, becomes, in the pos
session of a Chinaman, as quiet as
lamb and as tractable as dog. We
never beheld a runaway, jibbing or
vicious mule or pony in Chinaman's
employment, but found the same rat
tling, cheerful pace maintained over
heavy or light roads, by means Of
BURR or cluck-k, the beast turning to
the right or left, and stopping with
hint from the reins. This treatment is
extended TO all the animals they press
into their service. Often have admired
the tact exhibited in getting a large
drove of sheep through the narrow,
crowded streets and alleys by merely
having little boy to lead one of the
quietest of the flock in front; the others
steadily followed without the aid either
of a yelping cur or cruel goad. Cattle,
pigs and birGs are equally cared for"

A Faithful Sentinel.

While the American army was In
camp at Cambridge, Mass, Gen. WASH
ington heard that the colored soldiers
could not be depended upon as sentries.
He determined TO ascertain tho truth
or falsity OF the report by personal
investigation. so one night when the
password was Cambridge" he went
outside the camp, put Oh an oyercoat,
and then approached colorcd sentinel.
"who goes darf" cried the sentinel.

Friend, advance unarmed and give

Washington came up and said /: "Rox.

"ChaIlestown," said Washington.

A Perplexed Humorist.

After carefully reading all the pub
lished accounts of the battle OF Shiloh
up to date, am firmly convinced:
That there were never more than q
sergeant and ten men of the Confeder.
ate army actively engaged at one time.
That Grant was surprised at all points.
That he was killed early in the first
days fight. .st
That the Federal forces outnumbered
the stars in the heavens about ten 10 one.
That Grants army was routed and
driven clear across the Tennessee river
into tie mountains.
That il never came back again, and is
there yet.
That the valor Of teamster in Buell's
army who did not get there until some
time next week saved the day for Grant.
make this statement on the authority
of the teamster himself, who ought 10
know.
That drummer boy did all Grants
fighting for him. II am crcditsbly in
formed of this fact by sou of the drum
mer boy, who had 1t directly from hls
father.
The widow McLaughliu's husband, a
corporal who commanded the FEDERAL
right, finally led the movement that
drove Beauregard from the field. |
have letter from the widow who, by
the way, desires that her pension be in
creased-to prove this.
That all the lighting was done on the
first day;
Except that which followed on the
second day;
That both sides were vastly outnum-
bered;
That each side lost the most men;
That it was only reconnaissance In
force;
That il was a skirmish;
That everybody in America was
there;
That there was not battle of Shiloh.
That there are powerful sight more
men writing about 1t than there were In
the fight.
That the fercest charge was made by
the sutler. -BWdette IN Burlington Hack

A friend is worth all hazards We can
run.
A laugh costs too much when Il Is
bought at the expense Of virtue.
Men may live fools, but they cannot
die fools.
Divine confidence can swim upon
those seas which feeble reason cannot
fathom.
Time Is but the foam Of the fathoni-
less ocean Of eternity.
The very first step towards action is
the death warrant OF doubt.
To have what we want Is riches, but
10 be able to do without Is power.
Children should always DO taught rev.
erence and respect for the aged.
Life is pure flame, and we live by
an inyincible sun within US.
A kind word may often outweigh In
real worth the wealth OF the universe.
Four things come not back. The
broken word, the sped arrow, the past
life, and the neglected opportunity.

A Good Reason.

"No, gentlemen" exclaimed an old
man, who was talking TO crowd On
Austin avenue, "nothing in the world
could induce me 10 send one OF my chill
drsn to enter a school room, for the
reason that"
"You hire a teacher TO come to the
house," interrupted one of the crowd.
"No, it's not that. It's because"
"They are too sickly to 90 to school" T"
exclaimed another, excitedly.
"No, that's not the reason, either.
No child of mine shall ever attend
school, because"
because you didn't want them to be
smarter than their daddy"
"No, gentlemen, the reason is because
I've not got any children"

was the first time he had been entrusted
to superintend the execution of this
work; he made his arrangements over
night, spoke to the men about their carts
and horses, anG resolving to begin very
early in the morning, he instructed the
laborers to be there at half-past four
o'clock. So they set to work and the
thing was done; and about ten or eleven
O'Clock his master came in, and seeing
him sitting in the counting-house,
looked very black, supposing that his
commands had not been executed.
81 thought" said the master, "you
were requested TO remove that cargo Of
cotton from the boat this morning?"
"It is all DONE" said the young man,
"and here is the account of it,"
He never looked behind him from that
moment-never. His character was
fixed, confidence was established. He
was found to be the man to do the thing
with promptness. He very soon came
to be the one that could not be spared;
he was as necessary to the firm as one
of the partners. He WAS a religious
man, and went through life Of great
bemevolence, and at his death was able
to leave his children an ample fortune.

with his hands and wept.

through his tears, "you was a-going to
