The County Indebtedness.

What, il anything. to do with our
county Indebtedness during the com-
ing session Of the Legislature, is a
matter which every day now comes
more and more under discussion
That some effort to alter its presen:
condition will be made by those hold.
ing 1t is expected, but what course to
follow best suited TO our situation is
the thing to determine. The county
cannot go through bankruptcy, as was
suggested recently, and every dollar
the county owes can be forced from
her il the holders insist. The bonded
debt is by far the most serious prob
lem. Outside of it the redemption
and general Indebtedness looks small.
Propositions to throw into open mar
ket all scrip issued since the bonds
were given are mentioned, which
might result beneficially to us in time.
The most important thing our legisla-
tors can do is to become thoroughly
familiar with our financial situation
before attempting in any ann to
alter its present status.-Pioche

A late Chicago dispatch says:
Corned beef and cabbage is just now
numbered among the Injuries on local
bills Of fare, and produce men say
that before many weeks a head OF
cabbage will cost more than Florida
straw berries in midwinter. This is
owing to the fact that the floods Of the
Spring, Summer and Fall played havoc
with the garden truck, tens Of thou
sands OF acres devoted to vegetable
growing having been under water
for months. Potatoes are also get
ting scarce and high in price, and
unless large supplies can be obtained
in other sections of the country or
abroad, a potato and cabbage famine
during the Worlds Fair is inevitable.

person who has emptied the most pots
and reaches Vienna in the shortest
time is to be the winner. Viennese

Obeying Instructions.

When the new apprentice assumed his
duties at the Turkish bath establishment
the manager thought he seemed rather
stupid and entered into long explana-
ton of what he was to do. He particular
ly emphasized the command that the at
tendant was to "rub 'em without mercy"
During the day the manager heard a
great many complaints from his patrons
that they had lost their personal prop
erty. He thought that sneak thief
must have come in to get washed, and
resolved to be on the look out. He dis
covered nothing, however. though he
peeked around most of the day like an

places.
Toward the time when the new attend
ant was to go off duty. the latter went
into the managers Office and began be-
having with much mystery. He walked
around like wet hen, waiting until the
coast was clear. When there was none
but himself and his chief in the Office he
tiptoed up to the door and locked it.
Then he produced from his pockets five
gold watches, some diamond rings, a few
scarfpins and other articles. which he
set forth with great pride before the
manager, who, horrorstruck, recognized
the effects as belonging to his customers

Lord Rosebery's Guest.

In the month Of May, 1889, there was
an evening party in Berkeley square,
and in the early part of the day Lord
Rosebery had met in Piccadilly Scotch
farmer with whom he had some &C.
quaintance, and he asked his friend to
"look in" in the course of the night
The farmer duly presented himself in
something that resembled his idea of an
evening dress. All went well until the
Scotchman got into the supper room.
and after eating variety of delicacies
he lighted on an ice cream-a form of
nourishment that was new to him. Hav-
ing taken large spoonful he managed
to conceal his discomfort. But seeing
his host he thought it his duty to inform
him Of what had taken place. II don't
suppose you know, my lord. /" he loudly
whispered. .'but think ought to tell
you-there has been mistake some
where and this pudding's froze."
Lord Rosebery grasped the situation
in a moment. With perfect courtesy
and with pretty appearance Of critical
inquiry, he tasted the ice cream. $50
it is" he said; "that's very strange. :"
And then, after speaking to one Of the
servants, he returned and said to the
Scotch farmer: cts all right. / am told
that this is new kind of pudding they
freeze on purpose" and taking his
friends arm led him out of the room.

capital is century behind the average
of the times, and in the southern suburbs
there are miles of streets lined with
nothing but wooden houses, but the aris-

palaces of the Turkish grandees are built
almost exclusively of stone. the very

Erected q Compromise.

In certain Maine town lives q man
who for many years has been engaged In
the grocery business. but receiving q
good offer he sold out to q younger man
and retired to private Life. But the rul-
ing passion was too strong to let him
long be idle, so he commenced building
store on his land, which adjoined that
of the Methodist church. For time
everything went tremendously and the
new store neared state of completion
But just at this point up came one of
the trustees of the church and said.
"Your store sets over on our land one
foot and it will have to be moved" This
rather staggered the prospective grocer.
and he retired to ponder over the ques-
ton and study the deeds of his land and
test the measurements.
In doing this he discovered that the
back of the church rested over ON bis
side of the line three feet. Armed with
this new argument he said to the church
owners, IF you will move your church
three feet ! will move my store one. "
This view of the case was new one to
the church authorities, but recognizing
its force they made all haste to effect a
compromise. Lewiston Journal.
