it took effect upon signature. 1t shuts

I'm all right"
She seems to be very clipper" said
the keeper. She brought bundle Of
things with her from her home and
spends most Of her time reading"
There is neither reason nor philosophy
in this matter, nothing but sheer stub
bornness. Mrs. Sullivan won't give mp
the handbook, because she says that
Adams owed her some money. Her law
yer told her that the handbook would
not help her and advised her to give it
up, the surrogate advised her to give it
up, and the counsel for the estate begged
her to give it up, but-she-will-not
give-it-up-if-she she-dies-for-it. Be
fore she went 70 Jail Mrs. Sullivan said:

ever faithfully kept.
During this period of his career Judge
Norton enjoyed the personal friendships
of such men as Henry Clay, Horace

edited newspapers at Austin and Fort

Norton remained steadfast Union man

become so unpleasant that he returned
to Ohio and remained there until hostili.

the provisional government of Texas, he
accepted the post Of Judge of the district
embracing Dallas and surrounding coun.

to himself and satisfaction of all. Judge

to the Himalayas and their eastern ex-

to the present time his earliest vestiges
have been exhumed in the extreme west

The express company refused to accept

joker explained that it only contained
fruits and wines. Even this statement
did not satisfy the agent, and not until
the contents were exposed would he ac-
cept the package. Then it was receipted
for and forwarded, and the joke became
known about town. The odd part of it
is that no one who heard of it could see
any fun in such doings.-New York
