"Why are you wearing these mourn * 'ing ' garments ? " he said , somewhat un . "For late husband " steadily. my , was the significant reply. lie has been in the house at 10 over since. Boston Budget. AYOUXG woman in Ulster county. New York , sued a young man for damages for kissing her one hundred times against her will. The jury was out about five seconds and brought in a vin-dict for tho defendant. They did not appear to think that the young woman made as good a fight for her self as she might if she Imdn't stop ped to count'the kisses. ' HELLO , Jones , old boy , how are you ? " "Hush , don't call me Jones ; that isn't my name any longer. " "What ! Not your name any longer ? Why , that's funny. It has always been Jones ever since I knew you. " ' Yes , I knoAV , but you know I've been to Washington to try and get an office. My name is changed now. " ' What is it now ? " "Mv name is Dennis. " Evansville Argus. E is a great deal of true relig ion in nature , " solemnly remarked a young clergyman while calling upon a lady of his congregation , the other evening. "There is indeed , " was the quiet reply. "We should never forget that there is a sermon in every blade of Trass."Quite true. We should also remember while we are about it that jrass is cut very short at this season of the year. " Detroit Journal. \ MR. JEXKS , the assistant secretary of the interior , finds most of his valu able time employed in extinguishing Mr. Sparks , commissioner of the gen eral land office , and Imnce called. "Central Sparks. " Mr. Jenks who is a pretty good lawyer has found so far that thirteen decisions rendered by Mr. Sparks , collide with more or less violence with the constitution of the United States. Mr. Jenks is endors ed in the revocation of the Sparks' decisions by Mr. Lamar and the out look isn't bright for the commissioner. Tin : Arabs in the Soudan are again becoming formidable. They have full control of the Nile and the country above Assouan. They have plenty of cannons , rifles , ammunition and other materials of war. They have a fleet of steamers on the river and are taking possession of the country as they advance south ii : a systematic way. They propose to advance on Cairo , and there is no doubt that a re newal of tho war is imminent. British prestige is sadly broken in the Sou dan and there is a good chance for Gen. Prendergast to wither in Africa the laurels he has just won in Asia. He will find a dead Mahdi a tougher customer than a live Thebaw. Topics. THERE are clams and crabs and fools'and idiots , but the Massachu setts school teacher who made a re bellious pupil eat red pepper to break his proud spirit and then had the sat isfaction of seeing him die is entitled to pre-eminence in the combat for asin ine honors. It was very funny , no doubt , to see tears spring to the re sentful fellow's eyes as , still rebel- lioushe swallowed the villainous dose. But the authorities are not going to take a humorous view of the affair , and there is probably some more se rious work ahead for Miss Turner. It is time , too , that the fool school teach er should be taught that an irresisti ble thirst for human gore isn't among the qualifications for the teacherhood. It is a noble occupation ; but , as has been said several times , the world moves , and the school teacher must move with it. Ex. For .several years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been prized for its speedy and certain cures of croup. It is the favorite and main reliance with thousands of mothers. It win not only cure croup but if fieely used as soon as the lirht indication of the disease ap pears , that Ls as soon as the child becomes the least hoarse , it will prevent it , doing away with all danger and anxiety. There is not the least danger in giving the remedy freely , as it contains no injurious substance. Sold by X. A. Spaldiiig and Willey & Walker.
