HOW TO PRONOUNCE THEM.

A man from ST. Johns, Newfound-
land, and another man from San Fran
cisco, Cal, met as strangers at a cafe
table says The New York Sun, but
after some casual talk they happened
to speak of the foreign pronunciation
of the province from whence one
hailed and the city of the other, and
thus they became fervent friends
bound by a sympathetic tie, which
was beautifully irrigated before they
parted.

ne HAD SEEN WORSE TIMES.

An old soldier was saying, tn,
other day, that he was having q
hard time on account of the de
pressed condition of the country
but, not as hard, he said, as
he had, when he was marching
under Stonewall jackson. He
then told about his going to sleep
while marching along and falling
down, and getting up, going to
sleep and falling again. At that
time, he said to himself, "ifI ever
get home, | will be satisfied with
an acre Of land and a log cabin. "
The thought that he had seen
worse times than these evidently
reconciled himself to his present
condition. That old soldier, who
is sixty years Of age, is animated,
now, with the same courage and
fortitude, that carried him through
the wsr.-Danville Times.

WASHINGTON, February IA
The proposition before the house oil

atrocious. Instead of making an
