4 Cure for Endearments.

A girl who works in paper-box
factory in Delaware became engaged to
marry ayoung workman in the same
factory. Both were young and rosy
she luscious nineteen and very pretty
and pleasant to look upon. For some
reason that dosen't matter she broke off
the engagement and told him to go his
way and let her go hers. Then she
had him arrested and taken before a
justice, charged with annoying her.
She told the Judge her grievance was
that whenever the young man met her
he put his arms around her, although
she kept telling him that it was all over
between them now and she didn't want
his kisses any more. The young man
said in defence that he had kissed her
q thousand times day for two Or three
years, and that he had got in such a
habit of it that he couldn't help it. He
had tried to restrain himself, but he
couldn't. The Judge said: "Young
man, you must stop it," He replied: {:
IT can't Judge. I would if I could. I'll
try again" The kindly judge, full of
fellow feeling for young and ardent
humanity, discharged the likely-looking
young man from custody, and the pref
ty pair of them'left the courtroom and
strolled down the street together. In
few minutes the girl came back, peeped
in and said demurely: Judge, he has
kissed me again, right out in the street.
The amused man of Justice said: "Wel,
I can't stop it. The best thing you can
do is to marry him, and thatll cure him.
And the couple stepped into the court
room and the Judge married them then
and there. 1t was case of kissing to
conquer.

The Most "Judgmatic" and limitations"
Creature that Ever Lived.

Mr.. Luke Prior, of Alabama, is noted
for his great natural sense and his orig
inal English. II see," said he to a
group of fellow members, "that Senator
Hampton has been telling about COW
he owns that can talk, and Senator Vest
tells about dog that can black boots
and initiate Methodist exhorter. Now
I have mule on my farm near Opelika
which is certainly judgmatic creature.
He is an onery looking cuss, but, as I
said, very judgmatic. must say he is
the most limitations animal I ever
see: He Is even more limitations than the
monkey. That mules favorite amuse-
ment is to go in swimming with the
boys, and-and would you believe it?-
he can swim on his back and dive head
foremost like fish. Yes, sir; he has
dived at least thirty feet and come up
with his head all over mud. This
mule is so limitations that he can coun-
terfeit almost any wind instrument.
There's ferryman near my place who
has shot at him several times. The fer
ryman has horn on the opposite side
of the river for travellers to blow as
signal when they want to come over.
The mule got onto this racket, and
whenever he gets chance he goes down
to the ferry and brays just like q horn
a BLOWN. On foggy days the ferryman
can't see across the river, and he don't
know whether it's the mule or q travel
er. He told me the other day that last
year he had pulled his boat over sixty
times to answer that id long cared
mule, as he put it. On my farm Ihave
a large bell, with rope attached, to ring
up the hands at daybreak. An old col
ored man used to attend to this
duty, but one night about two
years ago he suddenly died. Next
morning everybody was astonished
to hear the bell ringing at the usual
hour. I went out to see who was ring
ing it, and, gentlemen, I hope Imay
never get back to Alabama if it wasn't
that mule! Yes, sir; and that mule
has been ringing that bell ever since at
daybreak every morning. Not only
this, but he cahters down between the
negro cabins, just as the old man used
to do, to see that everybody gets out on
time. The old man had way Of kick
ing on the door of hand who did not
move out brisk, and one morning the
mule followed his example. In GER

break the mule backed up to the front
door and gave kick with both feet
that sent the whole family through the
back window. The mule didn't know
it, however, and he kept on kicking.
The next day it took four carpenters to
put that cabin together again. Gentle

The Saltpeter Beds of Nevada.

From the Philadelphia Ledger:
The saltpeter beds of Nevada are far
better situated for the development of
their deposits than the inter region of
South America, which is desert entire-
ly devoid of water and all vegetable
life, and where the development can be
accomplished only by surmounting many
difficulties; the provisions of the miners
have to be transported from long dis
tances; the water supply for all purpos-
es is condensed from the ocean water
and carried to the inter fields, while fu-
ell has to be procured from the noun
tains in the south of Chill. In Nevada,
we are told, the saltpeter deposits are
in the vicinity of rich farming country,
with an abundant supply of water and
wood close at hand, and the inter can
he furnished at prices considerably
cheaper than that for which the South
American article can be obtained.
The petrified wood, which is so
abundant in the United States Territor-
les of Arizona, Wyoming and the Rocky
Mountain regions is rapidly becoming
utilized by the practical American. In
San Francisco there is now factory for
cutting and polishing these petrifcations
into mantel-pieces, tiles, tablets and
other architectural parts for which
marble OF slate is commonly used.
Petrifed wood is said to be susceptible
of finer polish than marble, or even
onyx, the latter of which it is driving
from the market. TIE raw material
employed comes mostly from the forests
of petrifed wood along the line of the
Atlantic and Pacific Railway. Several
other companies have also been formed
to obtain concessions of different portions
of these forests. Biologists will regret
the destruction of such interesting
primeval remains, and some steps ought
to be taken to preserve certain tracts
their original state

Must Be Enforced.
[Arkansaw Traveller. ]

Abraham Stockton, who, during many
years lived in the southern part of Arkan-
saw, was, in honor to his great learning
and also to the fact that he had once killed
a mad dog, elected justice of the peace.
The people were very anxious to see
case taken before the old man, for every
man knew that Stocktons opinion would
be one which the supreme court could not
reverse. The opportunity came. A man
named Eckford sued Mr. Chesley. The
litigation grew out of a dispute concern
ing the ownership of lot of sheep. A
jury was impaneled, the evidence was
taken, and the lawyers made their
speeches. The verdict of the jury de-
clared that the sheep should be equally
divided. Before discharging the jury the
magistrate said:
Gentlemen, you've did your duty, but
you amt made no provisions fur the cost
in this thing. The constitution of the
United States says that when jurymen
make such a oversight, the Judge shall
take the matter into his own hands Gen
tlemen, I'll charge you So apiece 1 have
judges charge to the jury, an reckon
some O. you will talk about this one, but
if you say anything outen the way I'll
whale the whole kit an bilin' O. yer"
Your honor, said lawyer, "you
can't make the jury pay"
Cant l? Wall, now, it's funny if we
don't. They don't git bite to eat till the
things settled. Boys, git your pops an
keep your eyes on the jury The laws of
this state have got to be enforced.
