The telegraph company, through the exceeding inefficiency of the Tarboso office, gave us a miserably poor and rotten service, but such news as did “ome, indicates that Mark Han, na’s money and the trusts have carried he day and the country has gone over- Whelmingly Republicen.

She soon gets passionately fond of her quarters and will eat anything from a banana toa marline spike. This goat became a sadly debauched character. She acquired in a few days such a taste for tobacco that she would refuse the most enticing | delicacy in the way of green stuff for the noxious weed, and indeed she was never happy without a quid in her jaw. But this was not her worst bad habit. No one on board knew the grog bugle Jetter than she, and punctually she was stand- | ing beside the tub at one bell in the afternoon watch, when two glasses of ‘water and one of rum per man are served out to the different messes. There is naturally always a glass or two left when all are served. This was poured into a can, the grog tub turned upside down, the liquor poured irto the shallow bottom. Then Nanny drank her tot like.a man. It wag too absurd to watch her conduct after this. She would skylark with any one, charge up.and down the deck, butt any body who came in her way and, in fact, play the ‘‘giddy goat’ all around for half an hour orso. Then, like many depraved human beings, she would coil herself up in a corner and sleep off the effects of her in- dulgences.—Chambers’ Journal. Financial Astuteness of a Collie. One of the features of a popular West Side retail store is a collie dog that possesses the peculiar faculty of being able to distinguish by their step or touch on the door latch peo- ple who ‘‘have the price’’ from those who have not. For an hour the other day there was a steady stream of people going in.and out of the store, but the dog paid no attention to them. Suddenly she jumped from her hiding place and rushed to the door, barking fu- riously. The door opened, and in came a beggar asking for alms, and the dog kept snarling and barking; until he left.- Then she retired to her corner and remained fully ten minutes, unmindful of the comers and goers, when suddenly she again bounded to the door and began bark- ing. This time the visitor was one of those insinuating individuals. who pretend to buy old clothes, and the dog drove him out without a word |. of command. The owner of the collie says she has never been trained to this trick, and he has no idea how she picked it up, but for years she has been able to tell in some mysterious man- ner before she can see the person whether he is a patron or an objec- tionable intarloper, and she has never made a mistake,—Chicago Tribune. 7 al Spee Pores of Habit. A laughable story is told of an old miser, who, being at the point of death, resolved te give all his mon- ey to a nephew at whose hands he had experienced some little kind- wess, ‘‘Sam,’’ said he, for that was his nephew’s name—'‘Sam, I pe Bam, I’m going!

A SECTARIAN MULE, — This Mountain Animal ‘Had Prejudices In ‘the Matter of Sects. | of the Poor fork of the Cumberland river, letting my horse take its own head, I caught up with the moun- taineer on a mule, also taking his time. ‘‘Good morning,’ saysI. ‘‘It’s a fine morning for riding.”’ “Mighty,’’ says he, ‘‘ef y’ain’trid- in a mule.” “T don’t know about that; some of the pleasantest rides I’ve had in the mountains have been mule- back.” “That’s case yer didn’t have ter ride one only when yer wanted ter. Ef yer do it frum needcessity, it’s different.”’ : “That one you’re on seems to be a pretty good one.” | “Bout ez good ez a mule ever gits ter be, I reckon,’’ he said in a tone indicating his lack of faith in the mule. - - | ‘‘What’s the matter with him?”’ “Fe’s got his notions.”’ | ‘‘What are they? Notions to kick the top rail off the fence?”’ | “No; he ain’t much uv a kicker; he kinder ‘pears ter have a satisfied sort uv mind an takes things pret. ty much ez they come.”’ “Then what ails him?”’ | “Well, I want ter git over on t’oth- er side uv the fork, an I can’t till I git up here about two miles whar thar’s a boat, so’s I kin ride over in that.’ “Why don’t you ride him over?” “That's what I don’t like about him.” . “Why?” ‘Ho's a Baptis’ mule an I’ma Meth’dis’.”’ This was a peser and quite beyond my scope of comprehension. I had heard of religious prejudices, but they had never gone so far as to af- fect any other animal than man. “You will have to explain that point,’ saysI. “It’s too far over for me.”’ “Well, it’s this a-way,’’ he said, with a short laugh. ‘‘Yer see, I got this critter from a Baptis’ preacher that had raised him from a colt, an had rid him fer seven ye’rs on Cir- cuit, an wouldn’t a parted with him fer no price, only he wuz goin ter Miz- zoury an couldn’t take the mule along. He was a power ter work, an the preacher used ter help out his wages lettin the mule ter people when he wuzn’t ridin him. That’s how I come ter git him. Well, the preacher never said nothin, an I never axed nothin, an the fust Sun- day atter I got him I rid off ter the Meth’dis’ meetin, never thinkin nothin. Abouta mile from the meet- in house I had ter ford the fork, an the water wuz purty deep that morn- in, but the mule knowed the way, an I jis’ let him have his head. An, by gum, he done it, fer when he got ter the deepest place he stopped squar’ in the crick, tucked his head, h’isted his heels an sent mie kitin over his years inter the water whar it wuz four feet deep ef it wuza inch, an*soused me clean outen sight.’’ ‘‘Did he run away?’’ I asked as the mountaineer paused a moment to think over it. ‘‘Nary arun,’’ he said. ‘‘WhenI come up, sneezin an a-snortin, he wuz waitin thar fer me ez quiet ez yer gran’mammy, an I got on an rid out. Yer see,’’ he concluded, ‘‘the dern mule knowed I wuz a Meth’- dis’, an ez he wuz a Baptis’, born an raised, he jis’ run his doctrine onter me an soused me all over when he had the chance. He’s too good a mule ter kill, an ef he ever does that agin I'll kill him shore. So’s not ter give him no temptation, I never try no more fordin with him.’’— Washington Star. Lincoln’s Postoffice Money. ‘While at Washington,’’ said Mr. Wanamaker, ‘‘it came under my notice at the postoffice department that Abraham Lincoln, in his early life, had been postmaster at a small Ohio town. In the changes that took place tite office was consolidated with Salem, and the man twice wanted for president was for once not wanted for postmaster. ‘Years afterward it was discover. Washington of the affairs of that little postoffice. A visit was made to Mr. Lincoln and the case stated. over to a chest of drawers and took out a bundle of papers, among them an enyelope containing $17 and some , the exact sum in identical of the government safely in office department he said: ‘There it mm oney.

An ancient custom is. yet main- | tained in Russia at the Christmas }season, in which the festivities of the day are made to play a perma- nent part in the lives of those who are chief in the frolicking. Some person of importance in the district announces that the annual fete will be held at his house, Thither, at the appointed time, hasten the young men of the coun- tryside; thither come, no less eager- ly, but with decorous tardiness, the maidens of the place. There are dances and songs, games and feast- ing, but all else is but the prelude ‘| to the great event, when chance is made the handmaid of love. At the arrival of the proper hour the host- ess gives a signal and withdraws into an apartment, accompanied by all the girls. The lasses are ranged upon long benches, where they pose, a tittering phalanx of freshness and beaaty, with naught in their smiling affability to suggest that a scratch on blooming cheek might reveal the Tartar. The hostess is supplied with long strips of broad cloth, and with this she straightway muffles each’ and every maiden. She twists it deftly over and about the head, until hair and features are hopelessly veiled; she winds it about the neck, thc shoulders, the waist and on untii the sprightly and lissom figure of the:girl is merged in the rude ous. lines of a papoose. This is the preparation. Theactton follows, when one by ono, in an er- Jer determined by lot, the young men of the party enter the room. Each in turn approaches the veiled row of loveliness and examines it. Eyes and ears are useless; touch is everything. Theyuzzled suitor seeks to penetrate the baffling folds and ‘ovate the personality of his id’ ‘When at last he has made his choice, he is privileged to remove the swad- ‘dling clothes and )ehold the identi. ty of his prize. "[): is the consum-. -mation—the mom ent of rapture or t@espair when soul answers soul in {the love light-of the eyes, or when ‘disappointment speaks in the stifled “sigh or shows in the averted eye. It is the law of custom that this ‘twain should become man and wife. Tf the custom is broken, a heavy { sorfeit.must be paid by the unwill- ing person. But it is rarely that | happiness fails in the result. Chance, ‘it is well known, is open to a bribe. -And the lovers who would fail to -offer her bribes would hardly deserve happiness. In their whispers before the hour of trial amorous censpira- are made, and the lover may depend upon his ingenious inamorata to convey to him the concerted signal whereby will be determined er identity and their mutual happiness. —New York ‘Herald. Disappearance of the Quaker. We take it that the Quaker idea of cultivating ‘the stillness and the quieiness’” which have so great an effect upon their children’s educa- | tion is identieal in effect with that practice of “‘retreat’’ for which thousands of minds in our fussy generation have so deep and we may add so ineffectual a longing. Even | their peculiarities of dress and lan- guage have long since ceased to ex- cite ridicule and are hardly more ‘distinctive than those of earnest so- -Gialists or of .the newest successful Protestant denomination. Perfect toleration, hawever, which has ben- -efited so many creeds, has almost -killed the Quakers, and in the hour Lof triumph oftheir most prominent ideas their society is dying, or near- ily dying, of want of votaries. They have leavened the community, and ‘they ave being absorbed into it. Qne would have thought that thou- sands of families would have joined their communios as a kind of intel- isotual ‘‘retreat,’’ safe from the pressure of a battling world, but it is mot so, and if they have not for a few years actually decreased they ane never without the apprehension that, in this couatry at least, they may disappear, swallowed up in the multitude of those who agree with | and yet do not belong to their com- mumion.—-London Spectator. The Siege of Lisbon. When Lisbon was besieged by the Spanish in the fifteenth century, such Portuguese as were captured were maimed. Their eyes were put out, their noses, lips or ears were pputated, and in this miserable | ght they were’ sent back into the | vay sies for the cheating of ill fortune x — me ‘ ~~ 6 Huuaiog AmuckK, A Malay is intolerant of insult o* slight; it is something that to hir should be wiped outin blood. He will brood over a real or fancied stain on his honor until he is pos. sessed by the desire for revenge. If he cannot wreak it on the offender, he will strike out at‘the first human being that comes in his way, male or female, old or young. Itis this state of bknd fury, this vision of blood, that produces the amuck The Malay has often been called treacherous. I question whether he deserves the reproach more than oth- er men. He is courteous and expects | courtesy in return, and he under. stands only one method of avenging personal insults. —Malay Sketches. es A Shaker Cure, ; Among the Shakers there is asin- gular and very ingenious medicinal custom. If a member of the frater- nity has taken cold, her companions seriously set themselves to work to make her angry. ‘They make disa- greeable personal remarks about her until she blushes with indignation. Then her blood is heated, and the theory is she will ba able to throw off the chill from which she has been suffering. ey Lion Strength. For a short distance a lion or tiger can outrun @ man and can equal the speed of a fast horse, but they lose their wind at the end of half a mile at most. They have little endur- ance and are remarkably weak in lung power. ‘Their strength is the kind which is capable of a terrific effort for a short time. Education, briefly, is the leading human minds and souls to what is right and best and to making what is best out of them. The training which makes men happiest in them- selves also makes them most serv- icvable to others. —Ruskin. ESTABLISHED 1875. SAM. M.
