A Little Too Critical.

A DetroIter who was working across one
of the northern counties with a horse and
buggy this summer met a farmer on foo,
and asked him how far it was to Greenyile
(which one?" YVES the query after half a
minute spent in reflection. "Why, l didn't
know that there was but one Greenville.' y
Didn't you? There's one in South Carolina
a second in Kansas, a third in Ohio, and q
fourth in Iowa. Which one do you want to
20 10 ?" "The nearest one." "Well, that's
about seven miles of. Next time you IN.
quire for GreenvilIe you had better name

tobacco do you want ?" "Why, l didn't
know a. there was more'n one tobacco
20, yes there is. There's plug tobacco
fine-cut, shorts, and smoking. Which die
you want ?" "Wall, III take plug" 81
have not got any. Next time you inquire
for tobacco you'd better mention the kind.
The two looked each other over for min
ute and then separated for life.-Daroi

During the trial of case at Newburyport
the other day, the district attorney was cross
examining a witness in regard to tanning
leather, and among other things asked:
"What other process do you employ in tan
ming skinsP" The witness, who had been
eleyating the risibles of all within hearing bv
his peculiar dialect, responded, "In toob,
sur" "In a toob? What kind Of tube
can you possibly use in tanning skins ?" "He
means tub, brother" quoth the lawyer on
the other side. "Yes sur, toob sur" added
the witness. whereat the urbane district at
torney was well nigh overwhelmed, even the
court smiled, and the sheriff had to gently
tap on bis desk to preserve the equanimity
Of the members of the bar.

Annie.

And when dear Annie passed away,
One calm July morning,
] saw upon the heavenly stairs
A band of angels unawares,
Her path adorning.
The grave is Heavens gate, they say;
And when dear Annie passed away,
A music flowing
Filled my sad soul with love and light,
Which made me seem by day and night,
To Heaven going.
The grave Is Heavens gate. they say;
And when dear Annie passed away,
A sanity whiteness
o'erspread the beauty OF her face,
And filled II with the tender grace
OF angel brightness.
The grave j. Heavens gate. they say;
And when dear Annie passed away,
An angel splendid
Cast his large glories to the ground,
While waves OF throbbing music sound,
In sweetness blended.
The grave Is Heavens gate, they say;
And when dear Annie passed away.
In holy sweetness,
When life's sad dream with her was o'e
Her white soul stood at Heavens door.

Care of Animals in Winter.

Tho American Humane Association offers
the following suggestions relative to fowls,
horses, and cattle to persons having these
In charge, In the northern ATTITUDES, during
the winter months:
Do not compel domestic fowls to roost In
trees. Aside from danger Of being cap
tured by owls and other enemies, the sway
ing of the branches upon which they are
sitting will prevent them from getting rest;
while In the severely cold weather, thus ex-
posed, feet and combs are frozen and the
bird is so benumbed as TO make 1t impossi-
BILE for 1t to be Of much profit on the farm.
Securely sheltered from wind and storm,
and allowed to sit on board roost, feet are
thus kept warm, refreshing rest is obtained,
and the fowl is much stronger, healthier,
and more profitable to its owner.
Do not clip horses during the winter
months. With the same propriety we
might cut the hair from q dog or shear a
sheep at this season Of the year. The argu-
ment in behalf of the practice is that the
horse In perspiration will dry more quickly
II the hair is short. II the animal is thor
oughly blanketed and kept In q sheltered or
warm place, after being driven, no danger
results from perspiration, whatever the
length Of hair, while the horse that has
been deprived Of its coat in the winter time
suffers Perpetually while being exposed to
III is cruelty lnflcteu upon beautiful
carriage horses for the purpose of style,
Blessed is the ordinary work horse In the
winter time, for, however much 1t may per-
spire, II is allowed to carry Its full growth
OF hair during the cold weather.
Do not leave cattle to stand shivering,
while extremities often freeze, In the snow
storms and severe winds of winter, when
a little time would suffice to construct Of
boards, rails, or poles, support upon and
around which may be placed hay, straw, or
weeds, thus making shelter that may COM
fortably protect them; Cattle kept In
ter Will, as mixers, give larger and better
yield OF milk, and as beeves will take on
flesh much more rapidly than II left ex-
posed to Indictment weather.
Aside from question OF humanity the
more attention and care that is bestowed
upon animals, with a view to their COM
fort, the more will they be of service and a
source of profit to their owners.

The American journalists aud magazine

the leading English journals have given II
up In despair. The eX-Presdont is u white
elephant Of Jumbo proportions. The sug-
gestlon that he should be placed in the

by Judge Cooley, who cannot believe that

Active; Closed Lower.
New York. Jan. 1j.--The stock market
was unusually active and firm during the
forenoon, and feverish and very weak after
midday. II was known this morning that
the rumors regarding a settlement OF the
differences between the trunk lines, which
were industriously circulated late yesterday
afternoon, had no other foundation In fact
than that q meeting was held at the Wind
sor yesterday in the interest Of the east
bound pool from Chicago. After weak
opening, I'm which prices showed decline
Of I TO per cent. for most OF the active
list, q firm tone prevailed throughout the
forenoon, accompanied by moderate trans
actions.
There was reaction for fractional
amounts, and IN the last hour feverish,
irregular, and weak market until near the
close, when prices In most cases became
somewhat steadler, although the final quo
tatiuns showed an excited and feverish con-
dltlon for the general list. 1t is generally
known that the coal trade Is In a very un-
satisfactory condition, with no established
prices, the leading companies selling at
such figures as may be obtained. The coal
stocks In the past have been so firmly held
that n raid upon them was regarded as eN-
ira hazardous. The market closed at or
very near the lowest figures Of the day.
Money on call continues easy at II to 2
per cent, the last being made at 2. Sterling
exchange continues dull and quotations
steady. Government bonds have been dull
and steady State bonds have been almost
neglected this afternoon.
