Ten Gents Ahead.

Last week Horace Parkes, a young
farmer residing in the Red House
neighborhood, called on John Donelson,
the leading carriage manufacturer of
this city, forf the purpose of settling his
semi-annual account Mr.. Donelson
examined his books and stated to Mr..
Parkes that his bill was $13. After
some hesitancy Mr.. Parkes remarked ::
"This number seems to have started
with me, and continues to occur in all
that I have to do or that may affect
me, SO as to refresh my mind with it's
connection with my existence I was
born on the 18th day of the month,
was the thirteenth child. my mother
died when I was thirteen days old, and
my father died when I was 13 years
of age. And now my bill is S13." Mr..
Donelson, in considerable excitement,
said: Il won't collect the bill Give
me $3.50 and your bill is squared -

political which are most interesting to
the country. 1t may be that. in a
measure, I shall anticipate his next
annual message to Congress, but four
months will elapse between now and
the time when he must send that docu-

Government and many events may
happen which will make the MESA ge
