tumorous Department. Courtship In Georgia.?When a Georgia farmer found out that his son John was sparking a certain farmer's . daughter for a year or more without settling any questiou, he called him out behind the stack and said : "John, do you love Susan Tucker?" "I guess I do, dad." "And does she love you ?" "That's what I dunno, dad, and I'm afraid to ask her." "Well, you'd better throw out a fewhints tonight and find out. It's no use wearing out boot leather unless you are going to marry her." That night at 10 o'clock John came * ..".onl* Wis feme* WAS all uome a mew. uw ...? .. ? scratched up and his ear was bleeding, his hat gone and his back covered with mud. "John, John! what on earth is the matter with you ?" exclaimed the old man, laying down bis paper. "Bin over to Tucker's," was the reply. "And?and?and I threw out a few hints to Susan." "What kind o' hints?" "Why, I told her I'd been hoofing it two miles four nights a week for the last two years to set up with her while she chewed gum and sung through her nose, and now I reckoned it was time for her to brush her teeth and darn her stockings, cure the bile on her chin and tell the folks we're engaged." "And her father bounced you ?" "No, dad, no; there's where I'm consoled. It took the whole family, including Susan, two hired men and three dogs, and then "I wasn't more'n half licked. I guess we moved ou 'em too soon, dad?I guess it wasn't quite time to throw out hints." Was Going to Die Happy.?"I came over from England on the Umbria, the time she broke her shaft," said the tall man in mackintosh, "and there was a funny thing the day after the accident." "Tell us," demanded his companions. "There was an Englisman on board, who was verv much worried, appa rently, about the safety of the ship. Early in the morning be hunted up the captain, and said, "Excuse me, captain, but is hall 'opes over ?" 1 "Why, no," said the captain; "we're all right. We'll get through in good shape." "The Engliaman appeared satisfied, and walked away. Half an hour later he hunted the captain up again, and said, 'Excuse me, captain, but is hall 'opes over now ?' " 'No, no,' said the captain ; there's no danger.' "The Englishman went away again. Half an hour later he came back and asked the same question. He kept it up at regular intervals all day. Finally along about 6 o'clock, the captain got mad, and when the Englisman came up with his question he grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "See here, you dod-blamed idiot! What do you mean by asking me that fooi question so many times ?' " 'Why, captain," stammered the cockney, 'Hi did'nt mean no 'arm. Hi was merely hinquiring because Hi'm a teetotaler, hand hif hall 'opes was over, Hi intended getting blind drunk.'" Talking Business.?A Detroit business man has a daughter and also a confidential clerk, and the confidential clerk has for some time been attentive to the daughter, but he has not?or had not a month ago?sufficient courage to come to the point, though the young woman, goodness knows, has never done anything to scare him off, Jo q fircfnlocc fpllnw in everv 1VI1 HO io U UtObVtM^w ^ respect. The other evening he was making a call, aud about 9 o'clock her father came in. "Ah, George," he said, "how about that deal we were talking about this afternoon? Did you see the party ?" "Yes, sir," replied George, "and I expected to see you this evening and tell you about it." "My dear," said the father, turning to his daughter, "will you retire for a few miuutes? George wants to talk business for awhile." The daughter rose to go, but hesitated. "Why do I have to go ?" she asked doubtfully. . "Because, dear," smiled the father, "you are not interested. Why do you want to stay ?" She blushed and started out. "Because, papa," she twittered, "I'd like to hear George talk business, just once." Then George got red, and the father looked at them both significantly, and the girl fled. She Withdrew the Charuh.? "Young man," said the magistrate, severely, "the evidence is conclusive against you. You tried to kiss her against her will. Have you anything to say before sentence is passed upon you?" "Only this, judge," replied the young man, who was about as handsome a specimen as you could find in a day's journey. "Only this, judge?that I am exceedingly sorry I did not succeed. When I look upon the beautiful face ana tne rosy rea lips of the plaintiff, I feel that if I had succeeded in kissing her I would have paid the fine with the greatest cheerfulness." "Judge," faltered the fair plaintiff, "if you don't mind, I should like to withdraw the charge." tf&T "Don't you think we ought to separate our husbands ?" said a lady to her friend. "Do you not feee how excited they have become ? They are beginning to call each other 'ox' and 'ass,' and all sorts of nasty things." "Oh, no 1" was the calm reply. "Let them go on. They have been acquainted with each other for than twenty years, and probably know what they are talking about." JUiscfllrtncous Reading. IN COUNTIES ADJOINING.

It talks to you of triumph over difficulties, of victory in the face of discouragement, 3f will to promise and strength to perform, of* lofty and daring enterprise, af unfettered aspirations, and of the thousand and one solid impulses by which man masters imperiments in the way of progression. Point us out the boy who, with difiant glance and dashing eye, dare roll out a strong, emphatic "I will," and we will point you out the making of a man bound to conquer as he goes. THE CZAR S IDEA. Proposes an International Peace Conference. St. Petersburg, August 28.?By order of Emperor Nicholas, Count Muravieff, the foreign minister, on the 24th iustant handed to the foreign diplomats at St. Petersburg a note declaring that the maintenance of peace and the reduction of the excessive armaments now crusuiug an nations is the ideal for which all governments ought to strive. The czar considers the present moment favorable for the inauguration of a movement looking to this end, and invites the powers to take part in an international conference as a means of thus insuring real and lasting peace and terminating the progressive increase of armament. The text of the note is as follows : "The maintenance of general peace and the possible reduction of the excessive armaments which weigh upon all nations present themselves in existing conditions to the whole world as an ideal toward which the endeavors of all governments should be directed. "The humanitarian and magnanimous ideas of his majesty, the emperor, my august master, have been won over to this view in the conviction that this lofty aim is in comformity with the most essential interests and legitimate view of all the powers, and imperial government thinks the present movement would be very favorable to seeking the means. "International discussion is the most effectual means of insuring all people's benefit?a real durable peace?above all, putting an end to the progressive development of the present armament. "In the course of the last 20 years the longing for general appeasement has grown especially pronounced in r -? ? ? 1 _ _ J A.! tne consciences or civuizeu uatiuua, and the preservation of peace has been put forward as an object of international policy. It is in its name that great states have concluded among themselves powerful alliances. "It is the better to guarantee peace that they have developed in proportions hitherto unprecedented their military forces and still continue-to increase them without shrinking from any sacrifice. "Nevertheless, all these efforts have not yet been able to bring about the beneficent result desired?pacification. "The financial charges following the upward march strike at the very root of public prosperity. The intellectual and physical strength of the nation's labor and capital are most diverted from their natural application, and are unproductively consumed. Hundreds of millions are devoted to acquiring terrible engines of destruction, which, though today regarded as the last work of science, are destined tomorrow to lose all their value in consequence of liome fresh discovery in the same field. National culture, economic progress and the production of wealth are either paralyzed or checked in development. Moreover, in proportion as the armaments of each power increase they ;ess and less fulfill the object the governments have set before themselves. "The economic crisis, due in great part to the system of armaments, l'outrance, and the continual danger which lies in this massing of war material are transforming the armed peace of our days into a crushing blow which the people have more difficulty in beariner. "It appears evidently that if the state of thiugs were to be prolonged it would inevitably lead to the cataclysm it is desired to avert, and the horrors whereof make every thinking being shudder in advance. "To put an end to these incessant armaments and to seek the means of warding off the calamities which are threatening the whole world?such is the supreme duty today imposed upou all states. "Filled with this idea, his majesty has been pleased to command me to propose to all the governments whose representatives are accredited to the imperial court, the assembling of a conference which shall occupy itself with this grave problem. "This conference will be, by the help of God, the happy presage for the century which is about to open. It would converge into one powerful focus the efforts of states sincerely seeking to make the great conception of universal peace triumph over the elements of trouble and discord, and it would, at the same time, cement their agreement by a corporate concentration of the principles of equity and right, whereon rest the security of 3tates and the welfare of peoples." To Prevent Pension Frauds.? A determined step has been taken by the war department to prevent pension frauds that might be perpetrated as an outcome of the war just closed, and with this purpose in view Pension Agent General St. Clair Mulholland, of this city, has received advices from Washington relative to regulations for ? ....iflAl/lJnHO Tn fVl OUQ arl UlUSieriLIg UUK SUiUigia. xu viivuu mv? vices, which emanate from the war department, it is ordered that the physical condition of each soldier be ascertained and noted before his discharge papers are issued. The purpose of this regulation,- it was explained, is for the purpose of preventing false claims in the future. General Mulholland said the importance of the precaution could not be too highly estimated, as it would save the government a vast amount of litigation ; but he doubted whether the authorities would be able to live up to the regulation. He dwelt upon the difficulties that would be encountered in mustering out large forces of men in a few days, and said it was likely that many would endeavor to escape the examination in their hurry to get to their homes. Speaking of the judiciousness of the plan he cited a case of a soldier's widow claiming a pension on the ground that ber husband had contracted deafness while in the Civil war, whereas an investigation proved that the deceased had been deaf for many years prior to his enlistment. It is to prevent a repetition of just such cases as this, General Mulholland said, that the present plan has been adopted.? Philadelphia Telegraph. PHl.
