The boy looked serious aud the moth er was doing a great deal of talking She said she heard that they had opened a museum at the station, and. she asked John Henry if he'd like to go aud see the auimala. “ 'Spnee they've got any snakes?” he asked. “/-ota of ’em.” “Aud baboons?” “Mure’u a duteo.” “Aud stuffed bridegrooms?” “Yes, heaps of ’em.” The boy had his suspicions, but curi osity oretcame them, and be Anally con sented to go in. As he entered the par lor the mother winked at Bijah over his head, whispered the oue word ’‘eliiir,” and she was gnue before John Henry could realize the situation. “I am glad to see you, my boy.” re marked Bijah, by way of breaking the ice. “Where’s them baboons?” demanded the boy, aa he looked around. *‘My sou, the way of the transgressor is hard, no matter whether the spelliug book says so or not.” “Where's that stuffed bridegroom?” shouted the boy. “(Je has gone out for a walk in the mellow sunlight, Juhjuy. buy cone up stairs and I’ll shnw you the enzir." “You can’t fool me! ’ “There's no fooling about this. Ou the coutrary, this is the very solemn oc cation. Come ou.” The boy suspected the worst, and mu king a dive to get under the table he up set it and came near gettiug nut doors. He was Busily secured and elevated to the second story, the door locked, and as he was placed in the big chair labeled “Meditation,” he had made up his tuiud to die in the last ditch. “Your mother didn’t have time to ez- plain your oonduct nor detail your histo ry,” remarked Bijah in a fatherly toue, “but 1 thiuk she wants the elixir applied on general principles.” ‘Murder.’ shouted the boy as he tried to get out of the ehair. ‘I should like to sit here and study your disposition,’ mused Bijah, but time dies, and I'm a leetle bn auxious to try this new spanker.” 'Don’t you dare!' shouted the boy, having a dim idea of what was coming. ■You observe, my son, that I fasten this sheet-iron pad around my left leg as • protection. If you feel like biting bite away. Then I place the el xir handy, bring you out of the chair, so, bend you over in this shape, and oow we are ready for business. Let me remark at this stage of the proceedings that my heart aches for you.' THE DARLINGTON NEWS. “FOB 06, PRINCIPLE IS PRINCIPLE—RIGHT IS EIGHT—TESTERDAT. TO-DAY. TO-MORROW, FOREVER,” VOL IV. NO 51.

There can hardly be a greater sign of prosperity in a community than a dispo sitiou to help one another—lift a little when a neighbor's wheel gets stuck in the mud We know of a place w' ere a man’s barn, with all its store* of grain and hay, was consumed by fire. Immediately all the men ofthe county side mustered and hauled up timber for a new barn, and then a big raising came off After that the sound of twenty or more hammers was heard until the whole was shingled aud sided. But their deeds of kindness were not done yet; one after another they offered to take a head nr two of his stock and winter them for him. thus grea'ly reducing his loss and assuring his heart of the more dur able riches of brotherly love and neigh borly good will. No one can compute in money the value of one such exnmpie nf noble liberality in the community especially in its iufiueuce upon the young Where this spirit prevails there is sure to be progre-s in a place, even it the impr vemc.iis arc in their infancy People will come and settle in s place which hears such a good name Now if you desire to see your place growing pop ular. do what you can to show yourself a good neighbor, especially to those who may need a little extra help If a loan starts a tin shop or a black smith s shop in your place, don't harness up and drive off five miles to buy your pans and get your horses shod, just be cause you have been in tht habit of do. ing it.

The saloon keeper, being a man of philosophical and inquiring mind, tendered the pup a little whisky by way of experiment.

Lovers iu the mining country have a plain aud bluuv way of getting married in spits ofthe old fulka. A young man iu Gold Hill wishing to wed a certain girle in Virginia City, the parents op posed the match. In spite of this a few days ago the couple went to a church iu Gold Hill, and many people hearing ut (heir determination, followed them in. The ceremony waa soon over, and in s voice that could bo heard all over the churqfi. and that gave rise to much sup pressed laughter, the groom said to the minister, aside, “I'll make that right tomorrow or uext day.” Entering a carriage the happy pair were driven to the homo of the groom’s parents. About dark the mother of the bride knocked at the door of the dwelling aud demanded of the groom: “Where's my daughter?” “She a here.” Was the reply. “1 want her.” “You're just a little too late. She a my wile, aud I waul her myself.” To this rejuiuer the mother ventured to Say; “|'ll toll my hutbaiid, and he'll euim down and get her,” which brought out the lollowing gallant words from her sou in law: “Don t you forget it. Tell him to come right along and bring the rest of the lauiily and all his friends liu'll u ed 'em.

A geoiel smile, sueh as irreverent paragraphist have referred to as the “Edison grin,” overspread Kdi son’s face, and he presently inquired, rather abruptly: “What do you think of me, little girl ? Do you like?” “Why, Mr. Edison you frighten me. 1—tbet ii—I—” “Don’t be in a hurry about telling me. It doesn’t matter much, unless you would like to marry me.” The youog woman was disposed to laugh, tut Edison went oa : “Oh, I mean it. Don’t be in a rush, though. Thjnk it over; talk to your mother about, it, aud lef-tte know as soon as convenient—Tuesday, say. How will Tuesday suit you—next Tuesday, I mean ?” Edison’s shop was at Newark ia those days, aud one night a friead of his, cm ployed in the main office ofthe Western Union Telegraph Compmy, in New York, returning home by the las. train, taw a light in Edison’s private laborato ry. and clioted the dingy stairs to find his friend to one of his characteristic stupors, half awake and half dozing over some intricate point in electrical science which was baffling him. “Hello, Tom !” cried the visitor cheer ily, “what are you doing here this late?” Aren't you going home ?” “What time is it?” inquired Edison, sleepily rubbing his eyes, and stretching like a lion suddenly aroused. “Midnight,easy enough.

We saw it for the first time last Sunday. It ia situated just west of the Pyramid lake Indian reservation, end immediately south of the Pyramid lake, the two being divided by a strip of laud sometbiog over half a mile in width. They have no connection with each other uoleie subterranean, and pan* ing entirely aronnd the lake, we conld see no nt her body of water flowing into it The month of Trnekee was r mile off, but it splits, one part going into Pyrs mid and the other goini; into Mud l*k<- to the right and only separated from Pyramid by a range of mountain.
