An Irishman, on seeing a notice in a haberdasher's window, one day which ran as follows : Everything seid here by yard," entered and asked the man of tlie shop if he sold buttermilk. "Yes,'' was the answer. ''Then give nie a yard," said Pat. "All right," said the mm; and dipping his Unger into a dish of milk at his side, he drew it a yard in length, on the counter "Any thing else?" he querripd, triumphant ly, of Pat. "No," said Pat: "just row] it up in a piece of paper, and, FM take it with mt?." One More Unfortunate.

"Our Country Cousin" a bright play of "The Old Homestead" type will be shown at the Opera House on Thurs day night of this week. The scenery is realistic and there are some exciting scenes. There is a railroad scene ia which real switches, telegraph poles, a derrick, etc., are used, while a train 200 feet in length makes its flight across? the stage in six seconds. In the farm scene a threshing machine is in troduced which adds to the realism of HIP play. Frank Jones, the original Si Perkins, is inimitable as Jason Wheat ley, the country cousin. He is ably sup ported by Miss Lillian Walton, as Dorothy Churchill, his sweetheart. J. G. Cailiy, as James the servant, does some clever acting. Four Steers. \ gentleman traveling in Texas met on the road a wagon drawn by four oxen driven by a countryman, who, in addition to the skillful crack of the whip, was vociferously encouraging his horned horses in this fashion : "Haw Presbyterian." "Gee Baptist," "Whoa Episcopalian," "Get up Meth odist." The traveler stopped the driv er, remarking to him that he had strenge names for ms oxen, and he would like to know why he thus called them. Said the driver : "I call this ox Presbyterian, because he's true blue and never fails, pulls through dilHcul ties and holds to the end. 1 call this ox Baptist, because he is always after ? water and it seems though he'd never drink enough, then again he won't eat with the rest. 1 call this ox Episcopa- ' lian, because he has a mighty way of holding up his head, and if the yoke gets a little too tight he tries to kick and draw clear out of the track. I call this ox Methodist, because he puffs and blows as he goes along, and you'd think he was pulling all creation but he don't pul? a pound unless you continu ally stir him up."
