IT has often been stated that per-
son may have many acquaintance and
but few friends. While you have any
thing to give the crowd will flock
around, but when you cease giving,
they
Fold their tents like the Arabs,
And Us silently vanish away.
Timon of Athens had an experience
similar to this some centuries ago, if all
accounts are to be trusted, and became
woefully misanthropic from this cause,
and cursed and raved in q shocking
manner. There is no need of doing
this, even if the world is not all that it
seemed to you. When you wake up to
its double dealing and its treachery,
look at the matter philosophically, and
don't place yourself in its power again.
Don't put your head in the lions mouth
the second time. Do as young man
did recently, in Boston. After he was
married, like too many youthful hus-
bands, he entertained lavishly, and his
house was almost constantly filled with
company. This became a great tax
upon him, although he was not willing
to own it, and at last q wise neighbor
of mature years, seeing that he was
troubled, said to him: "Do you know
that it costs you too much to
live, and that you have too many
people coming to see your" "But these
are all my friends" was the reply.
Il can not tell them to stay away"
Friends, bosh!" answered the sage;
there may be a dozen real friendly
hearts in the lot, but the rest are suck
ers and time-servers. "But how can
1 tell the false from the true?" was the
natural query. "By having nothing
but your silver spoons and ice pitcher
on your sideboard, and by having
nothing but lamp-lighters in the recep-
tacle on the mantel-piece that now
holds your cigars. Try this plan for
month, and then come and tell me how
many Jonathans remain" The young
man was somewhat loath to follow this
advice, but finally concluded to do so,
at the earnest solicitation of his wife,
The intimates for the first week came
as thickly as ever, but after that they
began to drop off gradually. Somehow
or other the house had lost it's old
charm; the conversation was not SO
agreeable as formerly, it lacked the
pleasant aroma which once made it so
delightful. When the thirty days were
ended the youthful master of the house
went to his guide and philosopher.
How many regular visitors do you
have now," said the man of experience.
"Six," answered the other, gayly, "but
can pay all my bills and have money
in the bank" This is something to be
remembered by the purchaser of q
plain gold ring.

"THE most peculiar thing I ever
noticed about Jockey Fred Archer"
said an old English sport to Chicago
Herald reporter, "was the deliberation
with which he settled himself in his
saddle. 1t rarely took him less than
five minutes to get his position, but
when he did get settled there wasn't a
horse on the continent that could shift
him. Archer had peculiar legs. They
were abnormally long from the knee
to the ankle and wonderfully elastic
These legs stood Archer in good stead
in hard race. With his knees pressed
dead against the paniers of his saddle
he could remove his feet from the
stirrups. and, curling that portion of
his legs below the knee high upon the
tlanks of his nag, rake the flesh with
his steels. Archer was the only jockey
in the world who could perform this
feat. 1t was seldom that he chose to
do it, but when he did you could rest
assured that the race was for blood.
The dead jockey won many hard
fought battle in this manner. I have
seen his feet suddenly leave the stirrups
when he was being hard pressed near
the judges stand and then watched his
horse spring to the front as the glitter
ing steel on the why legs of his rider
sank deep into the flesh. No, sir;
Archer didn't seem to have bow in
his legs from the knee down. They
were as supple as willow twigs."

by tine ordinary indications of death that

For here was youth in the flow of ife's

there was no fluttering, feeble heart, to be

Mails delayed by the storm bring in
formation that NJ ii. Day is again in
Washington pressing the claims OF f.
Nj. Ziebach to the governorship OF Da-

gives the following under date of the

From indications daily apparent at

there would be sn.early change in the
governorship of the great territory.

has spoken several times OF his intention
of going into business at st. Paul, and

wholly connected with the governorship
