How a Maid Paid for Her Curiosity.

Montreal Letter IN new IOEh ilEEd4N4
A somewhat curious anecdOte Is re-
lated among the vaccinators of a
young woman whose curiosity has
outrun her Judgment. Sheinvestigated
the contents OF one OF thevaccinator's
receptacles in the house in which he
lodged, and wherein shewas a servant.
They were nice toothpicks she thought,
so sharp-pointed; little wide, per.
haps. and clumsy. She took one OF
the vaccine points, which are ivory,
and easily mistaken for toothplcks by
a servant who knew nothing OF vac
cination. She picked her teeth with
the point, and before long could not
tell what was the matter with her.
Neither could any one else, until she
showed the doctor the toothpick. He
knew then what he had to deal with.
The result is better imagined than de-
scribed, as the vaccination ''took."

c., on the 21st, between Edwin Goode

farmers OF that county. Some DAYS

The Little Darkey in the Play


One OF the most cOmICal features OF
the play is seen in the second act,
when Antipholus, the Syracusan,
waiting upon the docks for his ser
wants return. is acCosted by first one
and then another little negro page,
each handing him letter. The second
and smaller OF these negro imps is in
variably greeted with tumultuous
laughter and applause, to which he
gravely bows, as to an encore. The
audiences have contracted a pleasing
habit of calling him out q second
time, and his response is always
prompt and most matter-of-fact. This
little African is a source OF unfalling
amusement to the Jolly actors OF the
company. By the two leading COM
edians he is regarded as q mascot.
Every evening, Just before the curtain
goes up, he knocks at the door OF the
Dromio OF Syracuse, enters, and re-
ceives in solemn silence present OF q
dime, and then, going to the dressing
room of the other DrOmiO, repeats
the same performance. The MEM
bers OF the company have taught him
numerous tricks, and in Buffalo re-
Gently induced him to retire from
the presence OF Antipholus on the
stage by a series OF flip-haps, greatly
to the CONSERVATION OF the SvraCusau
and the amusement OF the audience.

the Detroit savings banks on this

At this moment we've a surplus OF be-
tween $4,000 and 81, 100000 that
we can't place. The country s flooded
with capital. Last year there was a
surplus in the country OF S16O,OO0,-
600, and this year there will probably
be more. This reduction is Just in the
course Of the gradual falling OF inter

til capital will be as plenty and as
cheap as in the old country. A few
wears ago, when the current rate OF
interest on commercial paper was 8

gone down to from tot per cent. on
paper, and interest on deposits has
got to fall. too"

Mr.. Ed. Carroll, of Leavenworth, is
good fellow and very popular gen.

rather with the dimmed luster of an
old tin pan than with the respondent
glory of the queen of night. In
speech the other day in the house he
spoke of the honorable Lucius q. c.
Lamar. Democratic secretary of the
interior, as ''long-haired confeder-
ate," and of the Hon. w. G. Whitney,
Democratic secretary of the Navy. as
'sdude." Mr.. Democrat Weilep, of
Cherokee, could not sit still and hear
such talk. He declared that Mr. Car
roll had abandoned all hope of get
ting something,"-but, he added, that
he, Weilep, still had expectation. And

statesmen are drifting apart on the

Since the cold weather set in, news

part of the moral heritage.
The cold weather put stop to the
building boom, but the builders are

A tragedy occurred at Maple yes

The circumstances are as follows:
Two Young men, by the name of Sny-

their addresses to the same
young lady. Marshall was
beaten or Withdrew from the
contest, but bad blood had been en-
gendercd Marshall was married last
week to another girl. A short time
ago, in reply to question as to what
his former rival was doing, he gave an
answer which SByder considered an
insult. and for which he threatened to
horsewhip him. One DIR. Hart was to
make Marshall hold up his hands
while Snyder whipped him, on the
dav that he was TO be married, but fer
some cause they failed in that part of
the performance. The two men did
not meet until yesterday morning,
when Marshall remarked to Sn yder
that he had been laying for him. Mar
shall drew forty-four and Snyder
started to run. Marshall fired, the ball
striking Snyder in the back of the
head, passed through his head and
lodged against the frontal bone.
When my informant left Maple City
Snyder was not dead. but the wound
was considered necessarily fatal. DR..
Hart is very much blamed for being
instrumental in bringing on the
quarrel.

lincoln and the blockade,

When, in 1851 -Thad Stevens saw
President Lincoln's proclamation de-
claring blockade; of:all the rebel ports,
he went to Washington and told him
that the blockade was a qualification of
the former position of the government
in relation to the rebel states; that the
ports, instead of being blockaded,
should have been closed, and sufficient
number of armed revenue vessels sent
out on the seas to prevent smuggling.
He pointed out to him the fact that by
the act Of blockade we recognized the
rebel states as an independent belliger-
ent, and should thenceforth be compel
led to conduct the war, not as if we were
suppressing revolt in our own states,
but in accordance with the laws of ma
tons.
WELL" said Mr.. Lincoln, when he
had heard his remarks, ''that's fact.
see the point now, but / don't know
anything about the law of nations, and /
thought it was all right"
las a lawyer, Mr.. Lincoln" Stevens
remarked, II should have supposed
you would have seen the difficulty at
once"
"Oh, well,'' replied MIR. Lincoln, 'I'm
good enough lawyer in western law
court, l suppose, but we don't practice
the law of nations up there, and sup
posed Seward knew all about it and l
left it to him. But it's done now, and
can't be helped, so we must get along as
well as we can"
In this Mr.. Lincoln was right. The
blunder had been committed and the
rebel states were thenceforward an in
dependent belligerent. Not an indie
pendent nation, of course, but an indie
pendent belligerent, to be dealt with in
accordance with the law of nations.

Of bureau, who draws %, 900 himself and
has sons and relatives In Office, who bring
the total receipts from the government up to
$3.50. Then, too, I have discovered cases
where husband and wife are borne on the
rolls, the woman under her maiden name,
both living together under the same roof.
Since it has been ascertained that I was en-
gagged investigating such cases it has been
comical to see the aversion suspected couples
