A FORTUNATE PossEssOR The
Ohio man who finds himself the for
tunate possessor Of the housein which
General Grant was born not only has
a good thing. but plainly knows that

disdain upon the offers made to him
to sell the house outright, and unless
be can get his own price he declares
his intention Of selling II By piece
meal. That this would be the more
profitable plan can admit Of no dis
pute. If he sold the house entire, he
could sell it but once; By selling it at
retail there appears no reason why it
should not prove permanent source
of income. He has already begun
selling window catches at five dollars
each and splinters from the weather.
boarding at remunerative figures, and
as long as the hardware shops main
tain their supplies and the forest Of
the great Northwest hold out, the
stock Of window-catches and splin-
ters should be practically inexhausti-
bic. Under such circumstances the
birthplace of great man 10 like the

sustenance. Not till every man and
boy in the land has been supplied

man with needle case, paper weight

The DEVELOPMENT OF STATION
RY.-One of the most cheering in
dications of the improvement of the
world, contempory thinks. Is to be
found in the new aud enlarged signi-
ficance Of many terms which once
meant very little. There was time.
and within the memory Of half the
people alive, when stationery" sug-
gested merely pen, ink and paper,
with perhaps an occasional bundle of
pencils and box of waters only this
and nothing more. But a Western
contemporary has just published some
items from the stationery statement
of the Clerk of the House of Repre-.
sentatiyes " hich show that stationery
has developed until in one respect it
resembles the hand of Providence

tered ia stationery list, but the
shock is endurable when the reader
realizes that q single Congressman
has the will to exercise bis ruder
muscles, and, probably, give his
tongue and the public season OF
blissful rest. One pack ofcards" is an
item which may shock the sensibili-
ties of the ''unco guild" but with the
remembrance of some Congressional
games still in mind we doubt not that
tricks with cards only would to oc-
casionial Congressman be equivalent
to radical reform. A copy of tie

load of earthen milk pans, which retailed at
six or eight cents each while tin pans brought
from So to 30 cents. Freight by team was

toners kept open accounts with the firm, and
it was not unusual for score of customers to
