|iumorou5 jgtpavtment.! Blaine's Ready Wit.?On one occasiou, j a decision which Blaine made as speaker of the house, greatly enraged a new member, who waited on Pennsylvania avenue after the house adjourned, with some frieuds, declaring that he would "have it out or fight." "You can't," said one of his friends; "nothing you can say will get the better of Blaine's good humor and politeness." "We'll see!" said the enraged man, as he caught sight of the stately figure of the speaker coming slowly toward him. He stepped forward quickly and stood across his path. "Mr. Blaiue, he said, loudly, "I don't T ft nnn nf VAtirC MlUW yuu. l txlxi uu aujuaiuiuuw v? But I take the liberty of telling you, sir, s that you are a fool and a jackass!" "Indeed !" said Blaine, mildly ; "now I wonder," regarding him thoughtfully, "what kind of a liberty you would have taken if I had been one of your intimate friends ?" and, bowing courteously, he passed on, while the companions of the congressman burst into a shout of laughter. His Most Valuable Part.?A Napoleon of finance picked out a promising town in Iowa, and decided to "built it up." He moved to the town, orgauized a number of stock companies, started a bank, deposited all the money of the companies in his own bank, and went into bankruptcy. Some of the principal sufferers went to learn whether anything could be saved from the wreck. They found him in a magnificent apartment. "I regret very much, gentlemen," said he, "but I have practically nothing left. My wife owns this house and some business property, but I have nothing. Believe me, if I could do such a thing, I would give you my body and let it be divided up among you, for there is nothing else I can do." "What's that proposition ?" asked a rather deaf old gentleman, who was standing at the back of the mournful company. "He says," explained one of the sufferers, . "that we can take his body and divide it up among us." "Well, in that case," said the deaf old gentleman, "I speak for his gall."?True Flag. Wanted to Take a Rest.?The cute sayings of the little ones are always interesting, and this one proves no exception to the rule. She wanted to take a rest. Here is a story of a little girl who is very fond of walking with her father. One day he went further than usual, and she began to grow tired. She did her best to conceal the fact, lest ' it should make her father indisposed to take her with him on future occasions. At last her lagging steps betrayed her to her father's eye. Even then, however, she parried his questions, and could not be . brought to admit her weariness, till he drew her into a trap. "Well, Lillie if you don't feel tired, tell me just how you do feel." "Oh, I'm not much tired, papa," answered the diplomatic little girl, "but I feel as if I should like to take my legs off and carry 'em for a little while." She Had Heard Enough.?"Alfred, where have you been ?" sharply asked Mrs. Billiwink, puttiug hqr night-capped head out of an upper window. "Been down to Battery I)," answered Mr. Billiwink on the porch below, speaking slowly and with care. "Just so. What's going on at Battery D?" "Why?why, you know, m'dear." "Yes, I know. What's going on at Battery D?" "Th'?th' same thing, y'know, that th' was ?" "What's going on at Battery D ?" "The Poor Feud Exposish?I mean the Fure Pude?no, the Poor Fure Expo?" "I knew it!" exclaimed Mrs. Billiwink, drawing her head in again. "You can go out in the woodshed and sleep it off." The Negro and the Horse.?There is a time for everything, and the secret of sucess in life lies in doing things at just the right minute. A veterinary surgeon had occasion to in-I struct a colored stableman how to adminis-1 ter medicine to an ailing horse. He was to get a common tin tube?a bean blower?put a dose of the mediciue in it, insert one end of the tube into the horse's mouth, and blow vigorously into the other end, and so force the medicine down the horse's throat. Half an hour afterward, the colored rnau appeared at the surgeon's office, looking very much out of sorts. "What is the matter?" inquired the doctor, with some concern. "Why, boss, dat hoss, he?he blew fust!" The "Fashion o' the Hoose."?A servant girl happened to be engaged at a farmhouse where the mistress was known to have a rather hasty temper. On the first Saturday night the girl was told to clean the boots and shoes for Sunday. Coming into the kitchen a short time afterward, the mistress, seeing that the maid had cleaned her own boots first, was so enraged that she lifted them and threw them into a tub of water which stood near. The servant made no sign, but when all j the boots were cleaned, she also lifted them and threw them iuto the tub of water. "Why, whatever possessed you to do that?" gasped her mistress, in a fury. "Oh, I just thocht it was the fashion o' the hoose," calmly replied the girl. "Rebuked.?At an excited political meeting a Mr. Hay was called upon to move a resolution. This gentleman did not suit the tastes of the noisy ones, and they drowned his voice with their tumult. The chairman vainly tried to restore order. At last, getting exasperated, he shouted at the top of his voice: "I have only one word to say. Will you hear Mr. Hay?" "No!" yelled the disturbers. "Then all I have to say is this is the first instance on record of jackasses refusing hay !" Man.?The following is an extract from a real composition written by a small boy in New Jersey. The subject given by the teacher was the extensive one of "Man." Here is what the small boy wrote: "Man is a wonderful animal. He has eyes, ears and mouth. His ears are mostly for catching cold in and having the earache. The nose is to get sniffles with. A man's body is split bill 1-way up, and be walks on the split ends." A Brave Girl.?"Do you think your sister likes me, Tommy?" "Yes. She stood up for you at dinner." "Stood up for me? Was anybody saying anything against me?" "No, nothing much. Father said he thought you were rather an ass, hut sis got up and said you weren't and told father lie ought to know better than to judge a man by his looks."?London Tit-Bits. ? Information at First Hand.?A schoolmaster thus delivered himsel,: "If a carpenter wants to cover a roof 15 feet wide by 30 broad with boards [ ? feet broad by 12 long, how many boards will he need ?" The new boy took up his hat and made for the door. "Where are you going?" asked the master. "To find a carpenter," replied the boy. "He ought to know that better than any of us fellers."

"Just as you please, dear," answered her mother, with a smile. "Most women do, however." "Yes, I suppose so," continued the little girl, musingly, "and I guess I'd better start right in and hustle for a husband now. They say that Aunt Jane has been at it for 20years, and hasn't caught on yet." &&T "I feel very anxious about my daughter, doctor. "What arc her symptoms?" "She isn't able to endure anything.

Me., started from a hen's egg. The people had long felt the need of a church edifice, and finally a meeting of those interested was called to consider the question of ways and means. One of the party?a lady?brought a lien's egg as a contribution, that being the only donation in that gathering. The gift was accepted, other donations followed, and the church was built. Miscellaneous Heading. AMERICA 100 YEARS AtiO. Every gentleman wore a queue and powdered his hair. Imprisonment for debt was a common practice. There was not a public library in the United States. Almost all the furniture was imported from England. An old copper mine in Connecticut was used as a prison. There was only one hat factory, and that made cocked hats. A day laborer considered himself well paid with two shillings a day. Crockery plates were objected to because they dulled the knives. A man wnojeereu at me preaener or criticised the sermon was fined. Virginia contained a fifth of the whole population of the country. A gentleman bowing to a lady always scraped his foot on the ground. Two stage coaches bore all the travel between New York and Boston. Beef, pork, salt fish, potatoes and hominy were the staple diet all the year round. Buttons were scarce and expensive, and the trousers were fastened with pegs or laces. There were no manufactures in this country, and every housewife raised her own own flax and made her own linen. The church collection was taken in a hag at the end of a pole, with a bell attached to arouse sleepy contributors. Leather breeches, a checked shirt, a red flannel jacket, and a cocked hat formed the dress of an artisan. When a man had enough tea he placed his spoon across his cup to indicate that he wanted no more. A new arrival in a jail was set upon by his fellow prisoners and robbed of everthing he had.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Effects of the Opium Haijit.?One of the most distressing phases of the drug habit is its effects on the moral sense of its victim. Investigators are authority for the statement that women?and of course men as well?are absolutely untruthful, even regarding the most trivial affairs, when they have acquired the habit. In this particular, opium is much more to be dreaded than liquor. The intensity of the craving is more horrible to witness, as is shown in a recent instance. A woman was arrested on some minor charge and locked up. She sent for a friend to bring her her accustomed dose of opium. Instead of removing the cork, which would have taken but an instant, she clutched the bottle tightly between her hands, and tossed broken glass and powder into her mouth ; and then her calmness returned. Those who know coufirmed opium eaters believe that they would walk barefooted over live coals for the sake of appeasing their craving. So saturated does the body become after years of opium-eating that its crystals exude through the skin and about the joints. Those who use the hypodermic needle arc enabled to take much larger quantities than by swallowing the powder. The desire for any of these drugs and also for liquor is periodical, and the scientfio cure, which lias proved so successful, combats this regular swing of the nervous pendulum by rythmical treatment. Drink Sufficient Water.?"A reason," says a physician, "why I prescribe one of the mineral waters for my patients, and have them take it daily in considerable quantities, is simply to give them sufficient water. It is an error committed by many otherwise sensible and intelligent persons that drinking much water interferes with the digestion. One of those persons said to me lately: " 'I rarely drink a swallow of water; a cup of coffee with my breakfast, a cup of tea or chocolate with my luncheon, and an after-dinner cup of coffee again with my dinner, that is practically all the liquid I take,' (this with an air of conscious rectitude). "To begin with, tea, coffee, chocolate, or beer, wine, and the'like, tire not substitutes for water, which is one of the most important of all substances required for the nourishment of the body. Don't drain a halfpint glass of iced water just as you set down to eat; that is palpably injurious; but do have a biir class of water that has been boiled and cooled brought to you on waking, and by the time the bath and toilet have been accomplished and breakfast is to be taken, the water will not be an interfering agent. About three pints of water a day should be regularly taken; fully this is needed by the system." An Animal's Point of Vision.?One notable difference between man and the fourfooted animals which has often occurcd to me, is in the eye, and the great perfection, or rather supremacy of the sense of sight in the human species. All the animals?the dog, the fox, wolf, deer, cow, horse, etc.,? depend mainly upon the sense of hearing and smell. Almost their entire powers of discrimination are confined to these two senses. The dog picks his master out of the crowd by smell, and the cow her calf out of the herd. Sight is only part recognition. The question can only lie settled beyond all doubt by the aid of the nose. The fox, alert and cunning as he is will pass within a few yards of the hunter and not know him from a stump. A squirrel will run across your lap and a marmot between your feet if you are motionless. When a herd of cattle sec an object they are not satisfied till each one has sniffed it; and the horse is cured of his fright of the robe or meal bag or other object as soon as he can he induced to smell it. There is a great deal of speculation in the eye of an animal, but very little science. Then you cannot catch an animal's eye; he looks at you, but not into your eye. The dog directs his gaze toward your face; but for aught you can tell it centers upon your mouth or nose. The same with your horse or cow. Their eye is vague and indifferent.

Pai'KK.?The hoy or girl who is a regular newspaper leader will grow up to intelligence, and will use good language, both in speaking and writing, even with a limited education. It is news, science, literature, grammar, history, geography and spelling combined. Sometimes it is a little hard to get the children interested in newspapers, hut after they once get started, their intellectual cravings areas sure as the desire for food, and it is as necessary to feed their mindsas their bodies. The local paper is the lirst to attract their attention. Incidentally they lirst read of some local event which came under their observation. Kecoming regular readers of the home press, they soon branch out into the all'airs of the world and read the general news of the day, and finally become competent to discuss matters ol interest, and are useful and intelligent citizens. Parents will do well to look after this matter and then notice the improvement in their children.

Throughout tl: long ascent up the ridge it winds about tl: mountain sides in spiral curves, often quil sharp, and actually in one place passes tl: same point three times at different elevation as it works upward. "Near the. top is the famous'mud cutting which has so puzzled all the railway engii eers. Soft mud is being continually force i up by the pressure of the strata on each sid< | so that a 'ballast train' and gang of laborei | are constantly required to keep the true clear. For tins service me company nas u sometime employed State convicts. "I was at this time in charge of the 'haul engine, which assists the train to climb tli mountain grade, and on the eventful day had pushed up the morning mineral train i usual, and gone into a siding to allow tli early passenger train to pass on its way I Ashevillc. "From this elevated situation a wide vie is open down the mountains, and already tli smoke from the passenger train could I seen in the distance as it slowly ascended tli spiral grades up the side of the main ridgi "Meanwhile the ballast train, with itsgan of men, was still on the main line, and tli convicts were busily engaged in throwing tli soft mud upon the wagons. The enginet had for some cause left his post for a fe minutes, when one of the convicts, unobserve by the guards, stealthily withdrew the couj ling pin behind the tender. The fircma was near the cylinders, oiling the gearing. "Seizing his chance, the convict sudden! sprang upon the engine from the opposil side, and before cither of the guards realize what was happening, he had pulled the thro tie valve wide open. In an instant the ei gine was moving olf radidly under a fu head of steam. "The fireman's shout was the first intinn tion that anything was really wrong. Tl guards realized it when too late. Bang Bang! went the rifles all around, but tl bullets were too tardy for the dcsperal Vogue, lie ducked nimbly down behind tl tender, and the balls rattled harmless! against the sides of the engine. "Had they hit or killed the reckless fug live the condition of affairs would not Inn been improved, for the locomotive was put ingaway and rattling down the mountni side toward the approaching train. Evidcn ly the convict intended to jump off when i a safe distance, and escape during the confi sion of the wreck. The heavy ballast trai would natually crash into the other train lik a cannon ball. "The officials and guards stood staring a ter the receding engine as though pamlyzed "What indeed could they do? Then tl thought flashed to my mind. Could I gi\ chase with my own engine and catch ll runaway ? "It was the only chance to save the pa senger train from the horrors of a collisioi and, desperate as the case looked, it must 1 i taken instantly. " 'Open the switch !' I shouted, sis I thrc ! the lever over. "As my engine came up, one of the guari I scrambled on beside me, ami my Pi rem? ! jumped on as we dashed past. "In a moment we went out on the mai line, and gathering headway under full pre sure of steam. "But the ballast train had the start, an was the heavier of the two engines, thoujj mine had higher wheels. On this latter ci cumstance alone rested my chance of ove taking the ballast engine, and it seemed doubtful chance at best. It is a reckless bus ness to give an engine full steam on a (low grade. But all depended on the first fe minutes, and I bade Henry, my tirema shovel in coal with all his might. "In half a minute we were going at 30 mill an hour, which rapidly increased to 50, tin GO. "The rocky crags and ledges besido tl line Hew behind us in streaks, the trees b low seemed blended into a confused patch green as we hurried toward them. "Instinctively I closed the throttle valv for no engine can carry steam down such grade and live.

But we were gaining? could sec we were lessening the distant Could we overtake it in time? The passei ger train could hardly he more than three < four miles away. "Catching sight of us hearing down upc i him, I saw the convict run out of the tendi and look about as if trying to sec a smool Ispot to jump on ; but the engine had a quired such a terrific speed that he wi I evidently afraid to leap. " 4'oint your rifle at him, and tell him I stop!1 I shouted to the guard; but tl: guard, terrified at the rate we were rui ning, dropped his carbine on the coal hen] land was crouching and holding on with a i his might, the most abject picture of fear I ever saw. "My fireman, Henry, was a mere slip of j boy then, but a pluckier lad never openc a lire door. Bidding him hold the leve j I caught the rifle, and getting on the tende i pointed the weapon at the scoundrel on tl i ballast engine, motioning to him at the sail I time to reverse the lever. Evidently mi, j understanding the meaning, or frightened l: I the teriflie speed, he jumped off the tendi 1 the moment he saw the rifle, and was ii stantly hurled headlong over the ledgesdown the steep mountain side. I caught glimpse of him, whirling head over heels,; | we. passed by. "He had left his engine running free, an . now I knew that I must myself stop it, if j was to be stopped at all. ; "We were gaining upon it but slowly, an ; I scarcely dared to give my engine 11101 steam. I could not tell how far down tl j passenger train was. If our high whcc would but keep lliy track ! "The engine careened from side to si< [as we darted round the sharp curve i Every moment I expected to feel it plunj, into the. gorge below, and there was no hoj i that the low wheeled ballast engine woul I leave the rails. I must catch it, or the pa j setigers would be lost. Several times opened my whistle, hoping the passeng< j engine driver would hear me now. Tl trouble was that, owing to the curves, 11 latter could not see us at all, and the ratt and roar of his own train would most pro hi bly prevent his hearing. " '(Jive it to her, Henry !' I shouted, for knew now that what we did must be "dot inside another minute and a half; and i I my desperation I determined that if tlici j must be a collision, it should be in an effo | to overtake the rinmway. The loeonioth I now scarcely touched the rails, as she bouin led forward under the fresh pressure j steam. ! "We were now within thirty yards of tl j ballast, and we could catch up to it in ha a minute more if my engine could keep tl j rails. I "At this point a cliff rose on one side the line, and the other the steep mounta i dropped abruptly into a gorge hundreds , feet below. "Looking down across the ravine, v i seemed to he literally flying in midair, i "Meanwhile, I had run forward, ready i leap upon the ballast engine the instant u came near enough. Then for an instant tl runaway disappeared, as both etigim plunged into a cloud bank that lay pile ! against the mountain side. "For a moment or two nothing wasvisibl ]>ut for the roar of the wheels as they spu 1 along the narrow shell" I should have thongl j we had jumped from the hill, and wci ; plunging down into the valley. "When, a second later, we emerged fro the fog, tin; tender of the ballast engit i was only a few feet before me. I dan ! wait no longer.

ON THURSDAY, THE 14TII DAY OF MARCH, 1895, we will give a suite of FINK BEDROOM OAK. FURNITURE. VALUED AT $75.00. This suite of furniture consists of three pieces, embracing a dressing case with French beveled mirror .'#>x.'18 inches; a washstand?universal toilet?with French beveled mirror$1x24inches; a bedstead 4 feet 8 inches in width and of proportionate length, and a headboard *6 feet 0 inches in height.
