Taltnage. ( J ENEUAL CROOK , at the head of G , 000 men , one-fifth of the entire army of the United States , has been pursuing for the past two weeks ten Apaches , who have | been civiiisr him a breakneck run through a O tj the immense territory of Arizona. Paris Gaulois. LUCKY BALDWIN of California , was lately sued for breach of promise by a girl he had flirted with. It was proven on the trial that Lucky was in the habit of paying the girl twenty dollers for a kiss. The jury was evidently highly gratified at finding in their power the man whq had bulled the kiss marker , and < tssegsed him just $75,000 damages. Hereafter a man will think' twice in that state before he pays twenty dollars for a kiss. GEN. LEW WALLACE tells with great gusto the story of a German who open ed a beersalooii in Constantinople. Of course Mahometans do not drink strong , J liquor. But when they saw the foam said - ' the beard of ing lager they said'By : the Prophet ! that does look like wine : but by tnc way the giaors drink it , it must be good. Let us try it ! ' ' They did try it : numerously ; indeed , multitu- dinously. And Gen. Wallace say ? the enterprising man from Vienna is making an independent fortune from good Ma hometan patronage. Two Kentucky Hardshell Baptist preachers lived on adjoining farm ? . They quarreled about the boundary line. It never occurred to them to get the land re-surveyed , from which we conclude that had they lived in Nebraska they would have agreed that Gardner must go. The quarrel grew hot. Brother Powell ordered Brother Williams off his | place. Brother Williams went but came back with his wife and an axe in hostile attitude. Brother Powell met him with a gun , with which lie filled Brother Wil J liams' legs so full of shot that he will have them both cut off. There seems to ' be something in the atmosphere of Kentucky that leads to bloodshed. Topics. Tin : late blizzard has served the pur pose of giving employment to a good many liars. The Florida orange groves were killed off at first so thoroughly as to leave no hope for oranges in future. It now turns out that the .Florida orange groves are all right and will produce oranges the coming year as usual. The Delaware peach crop is now asserted to be killed past all hope of resurrection and the farmers are to turn their atten tion to a crop of cabbages and potatoes as the only means of keeping the wolf from the door. It is probable that another week or two will develop the fact that the peaches are all right and then the cranberry bogs will be given over to destruction. If uava cold enough to freeze the sensational crop liars to death could be induced to swei-p * ( over the country the public would be , likclv to see s-ome "ood in cold wave ? . S. II.
