Mai Xm? Adam. As Actemar Ward was onoa traveling hi the ears, dreading 10 ?e bored, and feeling miserable, ? man approached Uim, sat down, and said: " Did Von hear the last thing on Horace Greeley I* " Greeley t Greeley 1" said Arteinus, "Horace Greeley! Who is nei" The man was quiet about five minutes. Pretty soon he said : 44 George Francis Train is kick* ing np a good deal of a row over in England; do yon think they will put him in the Baetile!" 44 Train f Train I George Fran cis Train 9 " said Artemue, solemnly. 441 never beard of him." This ignorance kept the man quiet for fiiteen minutes ; then he said: 44 What do yon think about General Grant's chances for the Presidency I Do yon think they will run him I" 4 Grant t Grant ? bang it, man," said Artemus, 44 yon appear to know more strangers tuan any man I evec^aw." The man was furious; he walked up the car, but at last came back and said : 44 You confounded ignoramus, did you ever hear of Adam ?" Arte.nus looked np and said: 44 What was his other name? " - ? Toe Poer. A brother editor was sitting in bis office 6ne afternoon,' some years ago, when a farmer friend came in and. .aaid l i*, Mr*. 13.??, I like your paper, bnt times areso bard I can't p$y for it." " Is that so, friend Jones? I'm very sorry to heftf^lbat you are bo bard ran. I will give yon my paper." , < >-?.( " Ob, no! I cau't take it .as a gift." " Well, then ; let's see bow we I can fix it." " You raise chickens, I believe.'' " Yes, a few, but they don't bring anying hardly." " Don't they ? Neither does my paper cost anything hardly. Now I have a proposition to make to you. I will continue your paper, and, when you go home, 3*011 may 6elect from your lot one chicken, and call her mine. Take good care of her and. bring me the product whether-in eggs or chickens, and we will call it square." " All right brother 13 and the old fellow chnckled at what ho thought a capital bargain.

Somciyears ago, when the beatiti ful 1 pointing of Adam and Eve was -exhibited in Ireland, it be camo the ?ohief topic of conversa tion. Finally an illiterate peasant went to see it. The light was arranged so. as to reflect on the picture and leave the spectator in comparative darkness. The ^ casant as he entered the room to see his first parents, was struck with bo much astonishment that he remained speechless for some mo ments. lie ^stood like a statue; as though hisifeet were incorporated with the oakon floor of the room. At last with an effort he turned 'to ;ftu -acquaintance and said:: " I3arney. Til niver say another word agin Adam in all mo lite, for had I been in the garden, I'd have eat ivery applo in it, for the pake of 6ucb a lovely creature as Eve." ? Lonoevitv in New Hampshire. According to the census renort. New Hampshire, with a total population ot 318,300, had 15,885 jtersons^over the age of seventy? or five per cent, of the whole number. Of this aggregate, more than seven thousand were between the ages of 70 and 75; nearly five thousand were over 75 and under 80; seven hundred were octogenarians, and three hundred were between 90 and 95. Ten were 98 years old,-two were 99, and six had passed the age of a century !
