We acknowledge delightful" SER
enade from party Of young ladies
and gentlemen. The sweet young
creature who blew the comb is en-
titled to all the honors NOT appro-
priated by the gentle siren who rung
the bell.-Interior Journal.
/ Edison, the inventor, while en- route
to Florida with his newly-made bride,
saw field in which the cotton had
not all been picked, and Immediately
made sketch of a machine to do the
work. No man knows the value and
utility of cotton until he gets mar
ried.-Peck's Sun.
A book has recently been publish
ed In London containing l20 meth
ods of serving eggs. That seems a
good many ways of doing the egg
act but probably the best way Of
serving eggs is the American style
of throwing them at bum actors. A
large full-grown egg of several weeks
standing served in this way will sat
isfy an actors appetite for that kind
of fruit quicker than anything else.

Miss Susan Anthony tells a COM
mittee of the House that she will con-
tinue to write the history of The wo-
man suffrage movement until an
amendment to the Constitution be
passed giving the women the right
to vote. If Miss Susan expects to
live until that day she ought to mar
ry. By the time such amendment is
adopted she could have enough votes
in her own family to elect her to any
office she might set her cap for
Courier-Journal.
An exchange very truthfully says
most editors are acquainted with the
man who gets more papers now than
he can read, aud consequently has no
use for his local paper. lie takes
the Family Journal, published at
Portland, Maine. 1t contains all the
news about the Smuggler's Last
Cruise, and while he is storing his
mind with such useful information,
his wife is reading back number al
manacs. lie IS also the same man
who wants fifteen line local puff,
"Just to fill up, you know.-London
Leader.
MAY l Marry Ny Cousin ?" is the
substance of a note that has been ad-
dressed to the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The Dispatch devotes a whole COL
umn TO consideration of the ques-
tion and then gives no satisfactory
answer. 1t seems to us that the
thing might have been more easily
settled by reference of the interroga-
tory to committee of one the COM
mittee to consist of the cousin-sup-
posing, as matter of course, the par
ty thus designated is pretty girl
and the interrogation love-sick young
man.-Clarksville Chronicle,
The very latest agony in household
decorations is 10 have the wall and
ceilings carpeted as well as the floor.
This will no doubt look very pretty,
but the people had better let well
enough alone, and stick to the good
old art of fresco and paper hanging.
One is obliged to pay hired girl as
much now as though she held gov
ernment position, and even then nine
out of every ten is SO blamed inde-
pendent that you are compelled to
get down OH your knees to them in
order to get the work half done. 1t
is painful to think what the result
will be when the gentle, fair-haired
domestic finds that she has got to
mount step-ladder and sweep the
ceiling and walls. 1t is safe to say
that more than one family will have
to break up housekeeping for want
of help, and go to boarding-Peck's
