IT is related of a popular clergyman that he started a dull praying meeting recently by announcing that he "didn't propose to act as umpire for a sleeping match. " LE GRAND LAIIEW , who owns a cattle ranch in Kansas , is visiting his parents in Elmira , X. Y. He is six feet high , wears a beard that drags a foot on the floor when he stands erect. A LITTLE child , hearing a minister preaching a sermon , and observing him very vehement in his words and gestures , cried out : " 31other , why don't the peo ple let the man out of the box ? " "WAS he murdered ? " asks a startled exchange. No , he wasn't quite , but when he came out of a beer saloon and met his wife at the door it came so near scaring him to death that it would have been a charity to murder him. IT is said that there are 10,000 fam ilies in Chicago without a copy of the bible. The number without a copy of a paper containing the latest base ball news is much less , so the suffering is not so great as might be supposed. THE Sultan lias jiiht confeiral on Sammy Cox thesaciecl Order of Ileftikat. Tliibisuo doubt intended as a deep joke on Sammy , who was not a lieftikat in this country.

If there is any person in this land of the free justly entitled to the supreme honors of the order , it is our own and only Tom Cat of the South Side. ALL dispatches are to the effect that the senators without exception are in raptures over Mrs. Cleveland. The members of the house , however , do not seem to enthuse so much. Probably what touches the heart of the senators , in Mrs. Cleveland , is the fact that though she was young and giddy , she married an old codger like themselves. It is a sort of flattery to the vanity stricken veterans of the capitol. It gives 'em all ne\v hopes that the school girls will fall in love with them. The sad exper iences of Jones of Florida had made 'em tolerably sick created a reaction as it were , after the triumphs of Judge Davis and Governor Tabor. Journal. IT is an instructive commentary on the absurdity of the court rules for se lection of juries , invented by the law yers for their own particular advantage in trying suits before men who may be influenced by wind rather than by testi mony , that it appears probable that there will not be found in all Chicago twelve men competent to sit in judg ment on the anarchist conspirators and they will have to rake the whole state for people ignorant enough to be accep table. While we are reforming every thing else we had better reform the jury system by going back to the first principles. In the beginning the men who knew most about the accused , the accuser and the crime were sought , nat urally enough , for jurors. They gener ally brought in the right sort of verdict. THE saloon business had been boom ing at a fearful rate at Curtis till one da } ' , last week , Sheriff Franklin lit down upon the joliy venders of drinks and ar rested Chas. Saltzgiver and Chet. Sib- betts for selling liquors without license. The offenders were taken before Judge Allen , at this place , and , after some of the points in the case were presented , they concluded it was best to plead guilty. Their fine was $200 and cost ( about $25) ) and there are still standing against them about fourteen complaints on which they can be tried at any time , in case they again open their traffic. We understand that Saltzgiver was to oe married on the night of the day on which he was arrested. The complaints were made by Sheriff Franklin and J.T. Morris. Geo. II. Stewart was appoint ed deputy district attorney , by YV. S. Morlan , and prosecuted for the state. W. II. Latham defended. The Faber s glad Mr. Franklin regards it as his duty to see that the laws of the state are enforced. Stockville Faber. KEEP QUIET And take Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea JJemedy.
