Still He Was Hapnx.

At one of the sessions of the St. Louis conference of the Methodist Episcopal church Rev. Dr. Shumate, of Glasgow, Mo-, related the following anecdote, which brought down the house: "Some Methodists of an emotional type were holding an old fashioned meeting in Q grove. Under the inspiration of hearty singing and fervent prayers they became shouting happy, and jumping up and down like plantation negroes at revi- val made the woods ring with 'hallelu- iahs.' One man who was more demon strative than the rest, and who wished particularly to emphasize the fact that religion agreed with him, kept waving his arms in the air and exclaiming, Glory to God; I'm happyp
 "In one of his sky sweeping gestures he struck the limb of tree, knocking down hornets nest. Some of the hor- nets crawled up his pantaloons and stung him. Clutching frantically at his brooches he yelled: Brethren, there is something on me. Yes, there is-there is something on me. But, glory to God, Pm happyP "-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

When Seward Wa. Little Known.

When Seward Was Little Known.
 William H. Seward used to tell a story that seemed to give him great joy to repeat. When he was member of the state senate the first time he re- ceived 8 message from one of the most distinguished politicians in New York asking for an interview. MT. Seward felt pleased to be honored thus, and arraying himself in his Sunday clothes, which consisted of blue broadcloth coat, cut swallow tail fashion, light col ored trousers strapped over the gaiters, a very high dickey collar and stiff stock and bell crowned beaver hat, he went to call on the distinguished man. He was received in the parlor, and the poli- tician, while courteous, was cold and distant, treating him with the utmost formality. MT. Seward said, ''I thought perhaps yoh had some special business with me-"
 No, sir; I do not think of any-in fact, supposed you were paying me 8 call of mere respect"
 "But I received 8 message from you" !"
 "I do not remember to have sent one I am expecting this afternoon visit from Senator Seward. Maybe my re- quest has miscarried. I did not catch your name."
 "Why, I am Senator Seward, gen. eral."
 The politician arose from his seat went toward Seward, put his hands on his shoulders and said: "Well, senator, you will pardon me, know. supposed you were a young beau who had called with lurking desire to meet my daugh- ter. Let me apologize by saying that you have indeed an old head on young shoulders.
 Then he abandoned his formal man. ner, and an intimacy was begun which lasted for years.-New York Sun.

"New,, Post Office Rules.

A funny postmaster recently sent to the Post Office Department new set of Post Office rules. They were:
 A pair of onions will go for two scents.
 Ink bottles must be corked when sent by mail.
 Persons are compelled to lick their own postage stamps and envelopes; the postmaster cannot be compelled to do this
 Persons are earnestly requested not to send postal cards with money orders inclosed, as large sums are lost in that way.
 Nitro-glycerine must be forwarded at the risk of the sender. If 1t should blow up in the postmaster's hand he cannot be held responsible
 When letters are received bearing DO direction the persons for whom they are intended will please signify the fact 10 the postmaster that they may at once be for warded.
 As all postmasters are expert linguists the address may be written in Chinese or Choctaw. .-=
 It is unsafe to mail apple or fruit tree s with the fruit on them.
 It is earnestly requested that lovers writing to their girls will please confine their gushing rhapsodies to the inside of the envelope.
 Ducks cannot be sent through the mail when alive. The quacking would disturb the slumbers of the clerks on the postal cars.
 When watches are sent through the mail, if the sender will put notice on the outside. the postmasters will wind and keep in running order
 John Smith gets his mail from 674,- 279 post offices, hence a letter directed to John Smith, United States, will reach him. .--
 When you send 8 money order in q letter, always write full and explicit di- rections in the same letter, so that any person getting the letter can draw the money.
 Alligators over ten feet in length are not allowed to be transmitted by mail.
 The placing of stamps upside down on letters is prohibited. Several post masters have recently been seriously in iured while trying to stand on their heads to cancel stamps placed in this manner.
