A Smart and Plucky Girl.

Meadville (Pa.) Tribune: A pluckyyoung
.ady, residing in this city, about 2 a. m.
hearing some persons. whom she supposed
to be burglars or robbers, trying to gain an
entrance into the house through the back
door, gently arose and placing a tin horn
against the key hole blew the horn for all
there was in it, whercupon the would-be
burglars lit out at the fastest possible gait.
in less than two minutes the whole neigh
borhood was aroused and two policemen,
who heard the horn, Immediately put in an
appearance and searched the neighborhood,
but no one was found, the tramps having
escaped through the back way on hearing
the first loot OF the horn. There was NJ
one in the house at the time but the young
lady and her mother, and the formers act
Mas, therefore, all the more courageous.

The Crops of Dakota.

S.W. Tallmadge ofMilwaukeeis in receipt
OF the following reportfrom James Baynes,
statistical agent of Dakota: In Il majority
OF counties the threshirg is proving a wheat
acreage OF 25 per cent. less than last year.,
and the quality is not SO good. Smut is in
c~rcnsing in the territory. and is much COM
planned OF by buyers. THERE'S some wheat
that shows injury from heat by being sllriv-
elcd. This being true, together With the
act OF there having been SO many storms
since my last report and before harvesthad
begun in Northern Dakota, cannot seehow
the crop was preserved from serious de-
struction in u ] large section OF the northern
country. ] think we will do well now if we
get 10000, 900 bushels threshed, judging
rom the present outlook.

The wiles of Kentucky Candidates.

Neither of these stories is so good as
some which illustrates the wilos of can
didates before the people. The bess
one, we think, is that reported OF Laz- J
arus Powell and Humphrey Marshall
when running for governor of Kentuc-
ky. If it relates to some other two
Kentuckians. well enough; the two
named will suffice. They were stump
ing the state together. One night
they put up at the house of man wh0'
controlled the politics of the country IN
which he lived and whose spinster sister
VIGOROUSLY controlled him." Beng
like the considerable Miss Summerville

did their best to please her. Early IN 4
the morning after the night in question:
Humphrey Marahall arose, and seeing
the lady milking a COW near the honse,
he broke off the branch of tree ana
began brushing the flies off the animal
with much effusion. After several
agreeable words had been exchanged
he remarked that he did not see nls
friend Powell around and supposed ns
was sleeping late. "Oh," rejoined tue
quiet sarcastic woman. "Mr. Powell

Average Annual Cost of Living.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
How many persons have even rough
idea of the average sum upon which by
far the larger part of the citizens of the
United States are fed, clothed aud
housed? A recent statistician estimates
that 80 per cent. of the population Of
this country is supported by from As to
so cents per capita day. At the lat
ter figure this makes 1854 % as the
average annual cost of living; but, as by
average we mean the balance between
extremes, there must be many persons
who have not even this sum to live up
on. That 80 cents day is generous
estimate will be admitted when it IS re-
membered that many mill operatives
earn only from SIS to 81 week, and that
the wages OF farm hands run from $40
to $50 month, and that on these sums
several persons are often supported.
When it is remembered, too, that sons
other human beings have yearly in
come equal to what is necessary for Che
subsistence of 800 or 1000 Of these
average" mortals, the startling con-
tract between the extremea Of our mod.

It was not until his flesh began
to sizzle that he cried 'Enoughp and I
released him. He had received the
worst of the fight. Two of his ribs were
broken his wrist was dislocated and he
was bruised and gashed from head to
foot. He fell to the floor in a faint, and
picking him up carried him across the
street to hotel, laid him on bed and
sent for doctor, to whom 1 became
responsible for the bill. When I came
out on the street the whole town was
there to receive me, for the news that !

wildfre. I requested three responsible
citizens to appraise the damage done by
us in the supply store and then asked
the storekeeper to make out his bill. 1t
amounted to forty odd dollars. paid
one half of it and got his receipt. Then,
with the bill in my hand, went across
the street to where Fink was lying prop
ped up in bed.
"'Fink, said, I'll pay your doctors
bill, for I bruised you up. Here is a
bill for the damage done by US in the
supply store. I've paid half OF it, and
if you don't pay the other half I'll give
you worse whipping than the one you

A NEW NAME FOR IT.
How Technical Terms Secured an Unwill-
ing Soldiers Discharge.

Low technical Terms Secured an UnWl1l
ing Soldiers Discharge.
Grand Army Scout and Soldiers Mail.
In the spring time of 1864 the frontier
division of the Seventh Army Corps
General John M. Thayer commanding
was encamped at Fort Smith, Ark
Communication being most entirely cut
off, supplies were low and the army did
considerable in the foraging line. On
one of these expeditions clerk at de-
partment headquarters, Wiley Britton,
who was very fine writer and apt
scholar, went ont with party,of scouts
south of the Poteau, stream that
empties into the Arkansas just above
Fort Smith. They ran COM
pany of Texas Rangers, and in a Skin
mish with them he got shot through
the left wrist. Retreating he reached
Fort Smith and was laid up for some
days before his wound healed and he
was fit for duty again. He then got il
into his head that fighting YVES not par
ticularly his forte, and, since his wound,
neither was writing, and he desired to
get back to his old home in Missouri.
He went to General Thayer and
asked for discharge, but the general,
thinking he was too valuable man to
let off for SO slight wound, refused
to let him 60, saying he did not
see how he could dispense with
so valuable and apt clerk. Wiley
knowing L had some influence with
the general, I being at that time
on detached service at headquarters,
enlisted me in his service to pro-
cure his discharge. I got out set Of
papers and took them down to the sur
geon. who was, like myself, originally,
u Pennsylvania. He made him out
certificate and strongly recommended
his discharge, COUGHING the certificate
in terms peculiar to surgical science. 1
took the certificate, got Britton's COM
pany officers to indorse it and then
went with him to the headquarters to
see General Thayer. AS we entered
,he room the general, who was sitting
by the table, said to Britton "You are
still wanting to go home, are you?" He
,eplied affirmatively, I then presented
he certificate. The general looked at
t and said: "Read it," I read: "This
'ertifies this soldier is truly entitled to
! discharge. I certify 1t on examination,
Ifter due consideration, a case of necros-
s of the right radius of the forearm"
what is that? That beats my time"
aid the general. eff 1 had thought,
'oung man, the half of that was the
natter with you, would have let you
% before. Hand me my pen, so can
grite your discharge, quick. That is
he d-name for shot through the 8
7rist I ever heard" To say he was
ischarged after that would be but paint
1g the lily.

"But, Edith, he loves you, said Susie
coloring at her friends words, for sh
could see the delight in Richards eye
as he listened to Edith's ayowal.

contemptuously. "Why, Susie. he
might marry anybody with his wealth

"You don't love him for his wealth."

'1f he were to lose all his money il
would make no difference to me-"
"My darling!"
And Richard pushed open the fold
ing-doors and caught Edith in his arms,
while Susie discreetly retired to the
next room, and took up book, leaving
the ardent lover to make his own ex-
cuse for playing eavesdropper.
ooh, Mr.. Maur," cried Jack, dashing
into the room. ''Why; where is he,
Susie? / left him here just now"
"He is engaged" said Susie demure-
ly. "Why, what's the matter, Jack ?"
The boy walked over to the window
and put his hands in his pockets, whist
ling; but there was suspicious moist
ure in his bright eyes, and Susie anx-
iously repeated her question.
Father had Joe shot," he said.
"He was sullen and fdgety; but I
know Mr.. Maur would have put him
right if he had seen him. Poor old
Joel"
"Dont grieve, jack" said Susie,
putting her hand on his arm. you've
lost your dog but you've found broth
er-in-law,"
"What?" cried Jack, ais it true?
Where are they? Let me go to them"
And he dashed unceremonlously into
the next room, the loss forgotten for
the moment in his delight at the unex-
pected news.
Susie smiled and sighed as she fol-
lowed him into the presence of the hap
Ply lovers.
But her own happiness was not so
far off as she thought, for Arthur, COM
ng into an unexpected legacy, insisted
hat it should be double wedding, and
n this he was aided and abetted by
Edith and Richard.
ITO think that all my happiness is
,wlng to these folding-doors," said
Richard to his friend.
"And Susie's diplomacy" muttered
Arthur.
"What?" asked Richard, enquiringly.
Nothing" returned Arthur. eve

Indeed, we are," said Richard.
