I , , , , , , * A' „ „ | M | | | | Policy often says a friendto apease an enemy. The man who takes to the glass is generally taken to the jug. The chestnut bell is going out of date , hut the chestnut remains in all of its worm-eaten glory. The fastest train in the world is said to be one between London and Bristol , England , which makes the distance(118 ( milein ) 120 minutes. Thirteen members of the Congress that has just adjourned were added to the death roll. There mortality is said to be without precedent. ' 'There is nothing new under the sun , ' ' says Solomon , yet the manner in which some women wear their hair is certainly a modern conception. In the county-seat racket up in Fron tier county , Stockville is holding the edge on Curtis in fine form. Times up there are merrily warm , however. Between the disappointment in se curing the passage of the coast defense bill and the anxiety regarding our peach crop , the average American citizen does not rest well at night , and gets but lit tle sleep. M BUM In the sweet and hallowed pretty soon , according to the logic of Sam Jones , it will be determined whether or not death ends all. In the meantime let us not forget that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty , and the season approaches ; when the wives need new spring hats. The latest craze is a donkey party. The ' life size figure of a donkey is paint ed on muslin and hung on the wall. The ' ladias are taken to this room blind folded , and one at a time , in each lady's hand is placed a card'on which is paint ed i the tail of the donkey. The lady is requested i to pin the card on the pictur ed donkey wherever she thinks it would J be proper for a donkey to wear a caudal appendage. After all have had a trial the | poor animal , with tails pinned all over ( him , will be exhibited. Elegant prizes aie given those coming nearest the > proper position. Father Taylor , the sailor preacher , is \ the author of the following sarcasm , equally-applicable now as when deliver ed at "Cambridge years ago. "Your poor-houses are full , and your courts and prisons are filled with victims of this ] infernal traffic , and your houses are full of sorrow , and the hearts of your wives and mothers ; and yet the system is tolerated. Yes ! and when we ask j some men what is to be done about it , they , will tell you you can't stop it ! And yet there is Bunker Hill , and you can't . stop it and up yonder is Lexing ] ton and Concord , where your fathers fought for the right and bled and died \ and you look on those monuments and boast i of the heroism of your fathers , and then tell us we must submit to be taxed ' and tortured by this rum business , and we can't stop it. No ! and yet your fathers your patriotic fathers could make a cup of tea for his Britanic Ma jesty out of a whole cargo and you can ' t cork up a gin jug ! na ! " The progressive dinner has leaped at one bound into popular favor in Goth am. "This new freak of New York festivities , " says the Mail and Express , "imposes on each guest of the mascu line persuasion the dutof moving at the end of each course one seat to the left until he has completed the circuit of the dinner table , tarrying for a brief period at the side of each lady of the party. When he has safel3' compreted the hazardous voyage and has steered once more into the haven of refuge provided by his first love , there he may rest till the chairs are pushed back and a final adjournment taljen. A much more careful choosing of guests to har monize each with all is sure to be the result of this last of fashion ' s mandates , so a woman who has obeyed it tells me if the notion of the week is to endure even for the fortnight , for a single dis cordant note mars the effect of all. Any sandwiching in of dull folk or prosy folk is sure to be revealed in this puss- in-Jhe-comergame. " , j W. C.
