suppose I was thinking of?" said C.
"Of what you were saying, of course,"
was answered. "No, I was thinking
of you with a million of dollars at
your command; you can travel as you
like, purchase what you like, live at
ease or enjoy yourself as you may
choose, while I travel forced marches,
six months in a year, barely making

Dickens satirized the costs of tha
English Court of Chancery, and, says
the London Tth'frujih, it still "grinds
men's bones to make its bread." Anne
Richardson, a domestic servant, had
saved 240, to which her master, Sir
George Balfour, added a free gift of
60, lodging the whole with trustees,
who were to pay her the interest. After
a time. Anno wanted to go to New
Zealand, aud desired the possessionof her
capital. The trustees had no objection.
. provided they obtained the leave of tho
Master of the Rolls, tor that purpose
a friendly suit was instituted, and tho
leavo obtained, but the costs amounted
to 216! Thus merely to ask the for
mal assent of the Court of Chancery to
a change of this kind swallowed up
two-thirds of the sum in question. Lord
Coleridge, on hearing of the facts
wh:ch came incidentally before him a
few days ago, aptly said: 'It appears
a if Chancery, to prevent anyone from
being hurt, sometimes takes caro thai
uobo.ly should get any good."
Lee Lin. Chinaman, bought a through
ticket from New York to St. Louis, and
received a chock for his trunk. Arriv
ing at St. Louis, he found that the lock
of his trunk had been broken oil". Ho
was positive that when he last saw tho
trunk in New York it was fastened prop-
Deny. On opening it he discovered
that sixty silver dollars 'and two silk
handkerchiefs were missing. He sued
the Terro Haute and Indianapolis Rail
road Company. A Justice of the 1 eaco
gave judgment in his favor, but in the
Circuit Court, to which the case wa;
taken, the jury was directed to bring
in a verdict for the defendant. Lef
Liu took the case up to tho Court of
Appeals of Missouri, and last week had
the satisfaction of hearing the Judge
reverse tho decision of the lower court,
and declare that he could bring his
action against either of the railroad
companies over whose tracks he and
his trunk had been conveyed. .
Mark Twain's Advica to Scribblers.
Here are sonic words of sarcastic ad
vice from Mark Twain which are often
put into an editor's head by matters not
wholly unconnected with the contents
of his letter-box; "Don t write too
nlninli'? it i si Kicrti of fklrlMM.i n ri-iam
, - - - o . n' '
Scrawl your article with your eyes shut,
and make every word as illegible as
you can. Avoid all pains taking with
proper names, u e know the full name
of every man, or woman, aud child in
the Luitcd States, and tho merest hint
at the name is sullieient. For instance.
if you write a character somewhat like
a drunken ligure 8 and then draw a
wave line, we know at once that you
mean 'Samuel Morrison,' even though
you think you may mean 'Lemuel
Messenger.
How we love to get hold of articles
written in this style! And how we
should like to get hold of the man that
sends them just ten minutes alone
in the woods, with a revolver in our
hip-pocket!"
Cement for Rubber.
Powdered shellac is softened in tei
times its weight of strong water of am
monia, wherebv a transparent mass i
obtained, which becomes fluid after
keeping some liitle time without the use
of hot water. In three or four weeks
the mixture is perfectly liquid, and,
when applied, it will be found to soften
the rubber. As soon as tho ammonia
evaporates the rubbef hardens again
it is said quite iirmly and thus becomes
impervious both to gases and to liquids
For cementing sheet rubber, or rubber
material in any shape, to metal, glas
and other smooth surfaces, the cement
is highly recommended.

How to Save.
All men and women who work hard
with mind or body are subject to peri
odical attacks of biliousness, which
may end in disordered kidneys or liver
and dangerous illness. A 50 cent or
31.00 bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic
will keep these organs active, and by
preventing the attack save you much
sickness, loss of time and great ex
pense. Many families are kept in
perfect health by using the Tonic
when Spring or Fall sickness threat
ens. JJelay at such times means dan

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Employment fou Ladies. The
Queen City Suspender Company, of
Cincinnati, are now manufacturing
and introducing their new Stocking
Supporters for Ladies and Children,
and their unequaled Skirt Suspenders
for Ladies. None should be without
them ; our leading physicians recom
mend them, and are loud in ther praise.
These goods are manufactured by la
dies who have made the wants of la
dies and children a study, and they ask
us to refer them to some reliable "and
energetic lady to introduce them in
this county, and we certainly think
that an earnest solicitation in every
household would meet with a ready
response, and that a determined wo
man could make a handsome salary
and have the exclusive agency for this
county. We advise some lady who is
in need of employment to send to the
Company her name and address, and
mention this paper. Address Queen
