A BLOODY AFFAIR.

Friends and acquaintances noticed a growing coolness between the Shang- hai and the Dominicker roosters. They had never been devoted associates, yet they always spoke as they passed by, until the other day. It was seen with re- gret that crisis was unavoidable, yet the law took no action to prevent blood shed. The Shanghai is not peaceable fowl unless he be driven to that ex- tremity. His commanding appearance and the business airs which he gives him. self are quite enough to disgust modest chickens. As pugilist, though, he is a failure. He struts around as though he could whip out the entire barn-yard, and he will stand on the fence for hours and issue insulting pioclamations and cast side remarks of derisive import, still, the Dominicker, although anyone could see that he was nettled, made no reply, undl the Shanghai actually became abusive. Then he flew over the fence and alighted on the Shanghai's territory. This tickled the. old giant, for he knew that he could fall on the Dominicker and kill him. He also knew that he had the law on his side. It all might have worked very well had it not been for previous circumstance. A boy, the night before, had caught the Dominicker and had put gaffs on him. The Shanghai didn't know this, otherwise he would have been more prudent. After holding his head to one side and looking with sarcastic smile at the Dominicker, he hopped off skesfence and with the" bluders" ""car-car," jumped at the Dominicker, who, active fellow, flew up and came down on the Shanghai's back. The old fellow changed counte- nance and, squawled. The Dominicl<er, aware of his great advantage, walked all over the Shanghai, oblivious to his cries. Thus amusing himself for a protracted season, the Dominicker flew over the fence again. The old Shanghai turned over, croaked mournfully and died.
 This touching story has a moral: If the Shanghai had never been matched, the Dominicker would not have killed him. Translated from the Latin for this paper

A sKrLLFuL PROFESSOR.

"Ah, hah 1" exclaimed Prof. Msyorhuff, looking up from book and tuning to his wife.
 "What have you found, dear2"
 Listen to this from Horace Greeley : I am fully persuaded that if chopping wood were universal, rheumatism and dyspepsia would be unknown"
 "Well, what of thatp" asked Mrs. Mayorhuf.
 What of it? Why, shall chop wood, that's what there is ot it."
 "Did you ever chop woodr
 "Did ever chop wood? Haven't I been editor of the Waodmen for years ? Didn't my article, How to Clear up New Ground,' create a sensation? Of course it did. Jane, swear that sometimes ! believe you are blind. Did I ever chop wood, indeed lhave just ordered cord of hard oak wood and shall chop it my self. Aside from the healthful exercise, it will save money. shall order an axe to be sent up just as soon as l go down town"
 When the professor returned at dinner time, he asked if the axe had come.
 !" Yes, it's out there on the porch"
 Well, shall go to work at once."
 "I hope so. We are needing some now, for the weather has turned awful cold"
 Don't fret. You shall have all the wood yoa want"
 The professor went out and after labor ing three hours, brought in two small sticks that looked as though they had been gnawed in two.
 "This enough?"
 Enough the mischief! It's not eno6gh to start fire"
 The professor puffed and "blowed" awhile, and then went out again.
 Three hours later he came in again with two more sticks.
 "This do?"
 "Of course it won't. We'll have snow before morning"
 "Snowp- he exclaimed, wiping his reeking brow.
 "Yes, snow."
 We'll, don't care if it falls fifty feet deep, am not going to chop any more to-day. Needn't expect a man to kill himself just because we are going to have snow."
 Just then rap came at the door.
 "Come in," called the professor, too tired to get up. "What have you got there ?"
 Axe from the hardware store. Made mistake before and sent you grubbing hoe"
 Mrs. Mayorhuff shouted and the pro- lessor collapsed.

WE print in this issue, "Jim's Kids," a beautiful poem, written by Eugene Field, of the Chicago Ne7Os. We do not know the name of the paper for which the poem was written. MT. Field, al- though engaged in active newspaper work, very often throws aside the stub pen of fact and takes up the golden pen oi fancy.

GENERAL GRANT has refused the offer of hundred thousand dollars, which was rendered him by friends. This was a surprise to people who have often de. clared that the general would accept any, thing. Is 1t possible that St. Johns re- fusal to take republican. bribe-on ac- count of its "not enoughness"- influenced the country2 Our statesmen, if they are worthy of the name, will retire General Grant. Let not this republic be
 ungratefal. Every soldier is entitled to
 consideration. It is alleged that Grant
 is not business man. Preposterous ideal
 Didn't he borrow a hundred and fifty thousand dollars from Vanderbilt Of course he did :; and, we should like to know, how many sharp, shrewd business men are there in this country who could have effected such loan Very few. It now appears that on this particular occa- sjeh, Vanderbilt was not business man.

HIS HAPPIEsT NIGHT.
CHAPTER I.


 Philbury Hogroe was described by onc who knew him best, as high-shouldered strange-visaged old man, about whom at times, there was something mildly Ie pulsive. For years he had lived neal Ashley's Bend, on the Arksnsaw rivef and though his actions were sometimes pc culiar, yet he had many friends. The ole fellow was striking in appearance, and people said that he would not hesitate tc use bowie-knife on occasions when hi: great gift of argument failed to accom- plish purpose. Hogroe was nearl, sixty years old when his wife died. They were childless old couple, sad condi. ton, surely |; and when Mrs. Hogroe was carried to the graveyard, the old man was so frantic with grief that his friends were fearful of the result About a year after Hogroe's misfortune, there came into the neighborhood strikingly hand some young woman. Her intensely black eyes, dancing it seemed in a per petual blaze, were wondrous orbs, and her profusien of long hair, when she wore it loose, looked, at distance, to be a black cloak in which she had enveloped her shouldsrs. This girl. Anton Howard, opened a school in house which be- longed to old man Hogroe. He had never met her-for he cared to meet no one until one day, to avoid shower of rain, he hurriedly entered the school house. Her beauty thrilled him, not with the thrill which young man would feel, but with that quiet delight of age at behold ing dewy freshness of face and contem- plating gracefulness of motion. She arose, and with smile that made the room lighter, begged him to take her chair. He thanked her, but sat down on a bench near the fire.
 Don't let me interfere with business" i" said he. "I only stopped to keep from getting wet. Otherwise should not have intruded."
 " No intrusion, assure you, sir. MT. Hogroe, believe. Well, allow me to thank you for allowing me to take this house on terms so reasonable. Children, you may take few minutes recess, but don't make noise, please. Yes, Mir. Hogroe, l am really glad you called. am not yet very well acquainted in the neighborheod, an am quite lonely, in- deed, that is" she added with rippling laugh, quite as lonely as one could be among so many children. Billy Smith, you will burn your shoes, holding them so close to the fire. There, run along now. MT. Hogroe, am boarding with the Skettles family. We are going to have a little entertainment tomorrow night. Won't you please come over and join us ?"
 "I never go to entertainments, replied Hogroe.
 "Oh, no but won't you come over, just this once? l am SO glad to have met you"
 "Well, will think about it."
 "Thank you. Don't be in a hurry. The rain is hardly over. Good morning Don't forget the entertainment. please"
 'Hogroe thought, as he walked along, that she was the most charming creature he had ever met; "and," he unused, "what impropriety can there be in com plying with her request My wife has been dead-what am thinking about :; what put such an idea into my head p

CHAPTER II.


 Old man Hogroe went to the entertain ment. Miss Howard paid particular at tention to him. Indeed, she seemed no, to care Ger the young men.
 Hogroe," said an old fellow, "you are the most fortunate man 1 ever saw. That girl is in love with you"
 Hogroe's face turned red. "Wha, makes you think so, Bllly2"
 "Why, I can't help but think so."
 "You must remember that l am a very old man."
 "Yes, and also remember that girls are capricious. An, you old rascal, you are in love with her. Why, that's all right" he added, as Hogroe looked al him searchingly. "Whc could help it i l couldn't, know. Here she comes"
 "I have been looking for you every where," she said taking Hogroe's arm. " Young men are such bores. You look sad. Come, you must not be low spir- ited. Let us walk out on the porch"
 The night was beautifully calm and the stars, winking and blinking, :" seemed to the old man to be dancing in a great heavenly cotillion of sentiment. For an hour they walked up and down the long gallery. She pressed his arm her low, sweet voice stirred his soul. Could he believe it? Could such a fair creature love him2 Yes, she almost told him so.
 How strange it is," she said, "that years make no difference in"
 In what, Miss Howard ?"
 "Oh, you would think me forward if were to say it."
 No, indeed, would not"
 How strange that years made no diff ference in human affecion.~
