An Ohio paper says: "The man who carries the mail at Union City from the trains to the office, is a clever fellow, but absent-minded. The other night the train was late, and he reclined on the floor, pil? lowing his head on a dog, while he held the mail bng in his hand. When tho train came in ho awoke, gave the mail bag a kick, and seized the dog by the cuff of the j neck and tail and started for the mail car. Tho messenger told him the dog was not properly stamped." This is from the pen of the wicked Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal: "It is said that Secretary Robeson seri? ously thinks of burning the half a dozen or so old tubs that are left, and of adopting Paul Boytou ns the United States Navy." A Connecticut girl patiently listened to a long declaration of love, pathetic and proposing, from a young man, and then knocked the poetry all out of him by saying, "Now let us talk about your busi? ness affairs." "Do you think that souls sepa? rated here are united hereafter?" asked a pale, emaciated pietist of a friend. "I hope not," was the chilling reply. "It cost me a pretty good figure to get a divorce, and when I invested that money I in? vested it for time and eternity, too." A boy, who will yell like a Tar? tar if a drop of water gets on his shirt band when his neck is being washed, can crawl through a sewer after a boll and think nothing of it. An assessor asked a woman how many chickens she had, and, doubting her word, proceeded to count them. She took him to the bee hive, kicked it over, and invited him to count the bees. The new building of the New York IVt?une is nine stories high. When a man comes in and wants to know who wrote that article, he is told that the author is on the top floor, with the elevator broken. While Dr. Mary Walker was lecturing lately, a youth cried out: Are you the Mary that had the little lamb? No, was the reply, but your mother was the womau that had a little jackass. Mohair chairs are going out of fashion, and we are glad of it. A mohair chair is the worst thing in the world to sit on when drawing on a pair ox pants. j Why do people call for a piece of string, and did anybody ever hear of one calling for a whole one? Forgery?A slip of the pen, a playful habit, writing another per? son's name. Unfortunate Ida Greeley. Who will ever recognize her as Mrs. Smith? "What's a bonanza?" A plug hat, seven years old.
