I V t A Little Sarcastic. Twai Harry who the silence broke: "Mib Kate, why are you like a tree?" 'Because, because I'm board," she spoke. 'Ob. no; because you're woo'd," said lie. "Why are rou like a tree?" she said. "I have a heart?" he asked, so low. Her answer made the young man red: "Because vou're nappy, don't you kuow?" "Once more," she asked, "why are you now A tree?" He couldn't quite perceive. "Trees leave sometimes and make a bow, And vou may also bow and leave." AN AUDIENCE OP ONE. Joe Emmet Relate an AmoKlnjj IncidentHow Frlti" Matinee were Patronized at Colnmbna, Ohio. Joe Emmet, the popular "Fritz" of the stage, happened to be in a Wall street broker's office, relating eoraeamuBing incidents of his life as a player, when a New York Sun man dropped in and caught the fol lowing on the fly: "The smallest audience I ever had was in Columbus, O. The managers had been trying to iutroduce mati nees, but without much success. Joe Jefferson, Den man Thompson and other big stars had gone through the. mill, and the audience had been so email that they had shied, aud refused to take the gate. The money had been returned at the box-office, and the diaappoiuted ticket-buyers had departed, determined never again to patronize a matinee per formance in Columbus. The after noon business was at its lowest ebb when I struck the town. After two or three performances the posters announced a matinee. I went to the theatre at 2 o'clock that afternoon, and found my company sky-larking behind the curtain in their everyday suits. I looked out in the audito rium. There was just one man in the theatre. lie sat clear back in the parquet. It was as much as I could do to outline him in the dark ness. I went out to the box-office. 'Did that man pay for his ticket?' I asked. 'Yes, 50 cents,' the treas urer replied. 'The manager told me to return his money and close the theatre.' 'No, you wont,' I said. I have never disappointed an au dience when I'm sober, and I don't propose to do so now. "We'll play for him.' I went into the parquet, introduced myself to the man, and thanked him for his atteudance. I told him that as he had tho't enough of me to come aud see me, and pay 50 cents for the privilege, he should have as good a performance as tho' the house was packed. I then went behind the curtain and requested . the company to dress. 'Great Ciesar, Joe,' one of them said, 'you ain't a going to play to that one man are you?' 'Yes I am, I replied. 'He's paid his money, aud he shall have his money's worth.' Ob, the devil,' broke in another member of the company, 'I'll pay his 50 cents and you let him go.' I told them that the performance must go on as usu al, and I warned each one that auy attempt to guy the audience, or any failure to play a part in full would be tho signal for a discharge. 'Well, tho orchestra played an overture and the curtain rose,' Fritz continued. 'I walked down to the footlights. I invited the- audience to come forward and take a front seat where he could see and be seen. He thanked me and settled himself in the front row. I suggested that a little general applause thrown in where he thought the actors de served it would 6erve to inspirit them and warm them to their work. He seemed to appreciate the situa tion, and agreed to give s all the encouragement that he thought we deserved. The peformance began. I don't think I ever played better. I threw myself heart and soul into the character, and sang the 'Lullaby' so tenderly that the entire audience was in tears. He called for au en core. I told him that we rarely gave an encore, but as this was an extraordinary occasion he should have one. He applauded liberally at times where no applause was de served. At such times I called his attention to the omission, and asked whether ou reflection he did not really think that he had made a mis take. A bint was sufficient. He would clap his bauds as though per fectly enchanted and shout 'Bravo!' like an Italian over Salvini. The company paid no attention to him, but went on with the performance as regular as clockwork. Between the acts, however, one or two of them evinced a disposition to go out Into the auditorium and mingle with the audience. I set my face against it, and they refrained. At the close of the second act the man ager entered the theatre. He had been out for a walk. He seemed dumbfounded at seeing the house brilliantly lighted, aud the orchestra playing soberly to one mau. But he was more astonished when the curtain rose and the performance was resumed as much unconcern as though there were a thousand dol lars in the house. But he had an eye to business. He sent word to the newspaper reporters, and half a dozen of them arrived in time for the last act No actor ever received better newspaper criticisms. Some of them were over a column long. It turned out that the audience was the owner of a copper mine in Mich igan, and very wealthy. On the following Bight ho gave the whole company a banquet at the leading hotel. He entertained us as hand somely as we had entertained him, and we parted with mutual regret. Just a year afterwards I announced another .matinee at Columbus. It was well advertised, and the house was packed to suffocation. I took in over $1,200. My sense of duty to that one man, who had invested the small sum of half a dollar, had returned me a golden harvest." lloone t'oHHly. Ed. Joucxal: We have had no high waters to cau3e destruction of property. Our stream winds so crookedly through our valley that an impetus is.not given to its waters to form in gorges, which destroy so ranch property. Farmers have been busily engaged this spring in getting their corn out of the fields, where it has lain all winter, as the snows have prevented them getting into the fields to husk it. This has been indeed a severe winter to the poorer class of farm ers who came here la9t year to es tablish homes. Albion has improved greatly in the past year. From January 1st, '80, to January 1st, '81, over $40,000. This year we expect to see these figures double. This being the ter mfnus of the O., N. & B. II. It. R., gives us many more advautages than if it Were extended. If the U. P. Jl. R. Co. 8hould construct the above road from Lost Creek to your town, the benefits would be iucreased ten fold for us and would be a great advantage to your citizens. Albion sustained a heavy fire on the morning of the 4th of last March, which was a severe blow for those suffering by the fire, as some of the insurance companies refuse to settle their losses, and are trying to escape payment on trivial technical grounds. The burnt portion will be rebuilt this spring with better aud larger buildings than before. Business men look forward to a nice spring trade. They dcserve'it, for tho long winter just past has crippled them badly in many in stances, for their trade has been very light since winter came upon us. Geo. Rieder, a former townsman of your place, is doiug a heavy busi ness this spring. George is well liked, and his strict business princi ples have won him " hosts of friend." Galbraith Bros, are doing a heavy trade. Also Loran Clark & Co. The last named firm have a lumber yard, and command a large trade from adjoining counties. Some wheat is being shipped from here this spring, that has but recent ly been threshed out. Many stacks of wheat at this writ ing can be seen in the valley in every direction. Thousands of acres will be sown to small grain, this spring, many more to come. People are begiuuing to waken up, and will devote more attention to corn cul ture than heretofore. It costs lcs9 to raise it than wheat, and does not exhaust the soil so fast. Many are turning their attention to diversified farming, putting in a variety of the different kinds of crops that are more paying to the farmer. Thou sands of the "prairie sod" will be turned over the coming summer by the old settler, as well as those who are laying out a home. Every day sees immigrants on onr streets, having just arrived from the east, anxious to locate before the great flood of people later in the season begins to pour into our State for homes. I would 6ay to those who perchance may see this article and are seeking information as to o-ood localities for the selection of government and railroad lands, that this county and the adjoining one northwest furnishes desirable lands, well watered and plenty of grasses for grazing and stock purposes. John Peters, county clerk, will give you with pleasure all information you wish, also W. J. Nelson. I would say to the business man who is looking up a location, come here and look our town over, aud I think you'd be satisfied with locating among us. We have good schools, good society, fine church organiza tions, and our town is pleasantly situated. More anon. " Sktti.kr." The Indian Children. Some kind friend sends us an oc casional number o(The School2fewst edited by Samuel Towusend, a Paw nee Indian boy, printed by Indian children, and published at Carlisle, Penn. We have taken considerable interest in the little paper, and have fouud sentiments worthy of, com memoration. Tako this, for instance, and what more touching than the last sentence, when we come to think of the condition of. utter ig norance and degredation of the great body of the Indian youth: "We wish there were other such schools like Carlisle, Hampton and Forest Grove School, where the oth er Indians could go to school. Great many of the Indian children are willing to come east to school. The people of the United States should give the Indian children an oppor tunity like the white people's chil dren." "My son," said a father, as he gripped bis boy's ear and led him towards the garret, "evei'y blow I strike hurts me as much as it does you." "Well, father," replied the "blubbering urchin, "just you boo 1 hoo! hit light, and boo 1 hool you won't git hurt bad." "I never thought but once," said old Deacon Webbing, "that it was a sin to steal an umbrella." And when was that?" asked a friend. 'It was when some pesky thief stole my new silk one," answered the deacon. A TlirllliBg Incident. One of the oldest and best known residents of Green Island is Uncle Henry Moreton, an old man of con siderable wealth. When his house was swept from its foundations he and his daughter were the sole oc cupants, bis wife and son being on the high ground from which they could see the old gentleman as he stood iu a window and waved his hat at them. The mother and sou went nearly crazy at the sight, and so frantic did young Moreton be come that men had to hold him to prevent his plunging into the water in an endeavor to rescue his father and sister. He cried out that he would give a thousand dollars to anyone who would rescue his father and sister. Fnally Van Allen and his brother 'Veno,' said they would make the attempt, though not for the money. They have been the ferrymen between Green Island and Yankton for a number of years, and so are experienced boatmen. They found considerable trouble in getting started, as the wife of the elder Van Allenclung to him and said he should not go, for she feared he would only be going to his death. At last, however, the two brave fel lows stole away and getting into a boat pulled for the house which was floating away, tossed hither and thither by the great cakes of ice which would strike it with blows that could be beard half a mile away. Before they got to the house it hid lodged on some obstruction and nothing could be seen of the inmates. The house seemed to be beld down, aud the water rose until it was half way up the sloping roof. They rowed around the peak of the roof, but could hear no sound save tho grinding and crushing of tho ice, and started to return, thinking the iumates must surely have perished. Just as they had given up all hope of being of any service, and started to pull back, when one of them thought ho heard a knocking on the under side of the roof, and they went back. By listening intently they now distinctly heard a tap, on the under side of the shingles, and going to the spot, cut a hole in the roof, and through it took out the old mau and his daughter more dead than alive, and carried them safely to the high ground. It seems that when the house floated off, Mr. Moreton and his daughter were on the second floor. When the house lodged the waters raised rapidly.and they soon realized that they would bo drowned if they stayed there. Aboye them was a garret, and with a stick Mr. Moreton broke the plastering overhead, and through the hole made, helped his daughter up into the garret, and then, with her assistance, the old" gentleman got up there also. It was a low place, under the peak of the roof, hardly high enough to permit of standing upright, and in total dark ness, there being no window. They had not been there but a short time before they could feel the water gradually creeping up their limbs. They could not break through the roof, and there they stood in inky blackness, clasped in each other's arms, unable to see the water which slowly but surely mounted higher aud higher until at last they stood waist deep and nearly chilled to death, for it was icy cold. To add to the horror of the situation the house would rock and pitch, and the grinding and crashing of the ice against the building was something awful to listen to. At a moment when there was a lull in the roar of the flood, the imprisoned ones could hear the men outside in the boat, and then it was that Mr. Moreton pounded on the roof with all the strength and energy ho could mus ter. Providentially, almost, the quick ears of one of the Van Allen's heard the noise, and an awful fate was averted. West. Point Repub lican. Hare It. Yes, young man, save it. Put it in a safe place and add to it often. We refer to that dime yon were about on the poiut of exchanging for a 'drink.' Get a stout box made, and whenever you are tempted to spend your coin for a useless indul gence, drop it into tho said box in stead, and listen to its jingle. Ah I You have no idea how half dimes, dimes and quarters count up. But try this savings bank for a year, and then couut your coin, and you will learn how much you might have wasted. And not only wasted mon ey, but time, precious priceless time, and formed habits of idleness and dissipation which cling to the un fortunate possessor, as the fabled gown of Narcissus clung to him who once put it on. Yes, save your money, young man, and spend your leisure hours at home with mother and sisters, occupy yourself with earnest and judicious study, and in stead of being a hewer of wood and drawer of water, you w41l stand a chance of taking rank with tho great, prosperous and honored ones of the earth. Plattsmoulh Herald. A New Jersey preacher, who was annoyed by the ladies of his congre gation turning about ia their seats paused in his discourse to say: "Ladies, if you will give me your attention for a few moments, I will keep a look-out on the door, and if anything worse than a man enters, I will warn you in time for yon to malfe your eEcape." ENGLISH OR AMERICAN MEAT. Uncle "John Ball" Put to the Blush. Written for the Journal. There is a great scare all over Europe on account of the supposed trichina; in American hog meat. This great Bcaro has been gotten up by interested purtios in Europe. Now the "Mark Lane Express" of England reports a big pile of dirt before their own door, and we here had better send them some brooms to sweep 4t away. Here it is, look atiti "Superintendent Birchley and In spector Latham fouud in the build ings of Mr. Wiles, potted meat manufacturer, Winson Green, Bir mingham, the following savory raw material for epicures, which was by steam machinery being prepared for market, viz: 1300 lbs. of diseased horse flesh, mutton, etc., two dis eased sheep, dressed but not cut, besides quarters, breast, legs and shoulders of diseased mutton, 200 lbs. of diseased horse flesh cut into small pieces; cans of rocently made potted meat, mostly horse flesh, fear fully diseased and colored with red ochre. There were sausages, save loys, savory ducks, German polouies of equally unwholesome if not ppis ououa material. Of course magis terial proceedings will follow." Wishing cousin John Bull good appetite for Mr. Wiles' potted meats, sausages, etc., I prefer Uncle Sam's sugar-cured (uot wooden) hams, and Brother Jouathau's shoulders and breakfast bacon. a. h. A post mortem examination was held on Monday by Dr. Sharp over the body of a seven-year-old son of Daniel Normau, of Shortcreek township, who recently died of gravel stone in the bladder. The boy had been sutlering from this deposit for the past three years, and although the family were advised repeatedly to have it removed, it was not thought necessary until too late. For a young boy to die of such a diseaso was vory unusual and an examination was ccrtaiuly justi fied. The stone removed is as large as an egg and weighs 13,000 grains, which is a very extraordinary case, there being few cases so bad on re cord. Cadiz (0.,) Sentinel. The Omaha Republican is respon sible for the following pictures made by pieces from the printer's case. We reproduce it as a curiosity,show ing an entire change of expression by the invertion of one piece of metal : The man who does not advertise. The man who does advertise. There are but few notes in music, but few letters in the alphabet, but few axioms in mathematics, but few elementary substances in nature. So there are but a few solid principles in the moral and intelligent world, which lie back of everything, and which govern operation of thought and emotion. When the commonplace 'we must all die' transforms itself suddenly into the acute conciousness, 'I must die' and soon, then death grapples us and his fingers are cruel ; after wards he may come to fold us iu his arms as our mother did, and our last moments of dim earthly dis cerning may be like the first. Tho spirit of liberty is not merely, as multitudes imagine, a jealousy of our own particular rights, but a res pect for the rights of others and an unwillingness that any man,whether high or low, should be wronged or trampled under foot. A person meeting an old man with silver hair, and very black, bushy beard, asked him "how it happened that his beard was not so gray as the hair ou his head ?" "Because," said the old gentleman, "it's twenty years younger. '' After all the talk of scholars there are but two sorts, of government; one where men show their teeth at each other, and one where men show their tongues and lick the feet of the strongest. "Mariahl let me in," said a man to his wife, who was watching him trying to open the door with a tooth pick. "I'sh tread on my key, and it's all flattened out." The more a man or woman kuows the .less they gosBip about their neighbors. Culture kills gab. No man can be wise ou an empty stomach. False friend are worse than open enemies. Modesty has more charms than beauty.
