A little one for a scent—a drop of musk. Any man can be reformed except a reformer. The early-rising husband catches the kindlings. I'm a tough, remarked the alleged spring chicken. The aristocracy, of Pennsylvania, draws the line at Dukes. It takes the liveliest kind of a loafer to make a dead beat. A trotting circuit: Passing the baby around to keep it quiet. The battles of Brandywine and Bull Run pale before the milk war. You cannot out of an American sow's ear, a silk purse make Bismark. While depressing faro, we encourage our policemen to take in sleepers. The rhinomatic prize fighter is a wreck of humanity. His spars are all gone. Generous natures will hesitate about licking a postage stamp when it gets down to two cents. The spring poets are thawing out. We wish all of them would go to a warm climate to reside permanently. Queen Victoria, since her recent injury, may well say, "un-kneesy lies the head that wears a crown." Smithers call the attendants of the gigantic soda fountain, in London, members of the Coldstream Guard. THE INVENTION OF MATCHES. [Springfield Republican] "Did I ever tell you what Charles Sumner once said to me about the manufacture of matches?" queried Lucius C. Allin, the veteran armory foreman. "It was about fifty years ago now, when I was in doubt whether it would pay to go into the business, and asked Mr. Sumner what he thought about it. He turned around quick as a flash and said, 'Mr. Allin, how many pins do you suppose are made in a year?' I thought there must be a good many millions. 'And how many times,' he continued, 'is a pin used?' 'Perhaps twenty on an average,' I replied. 'Then at least twenty times as many matches will be needed as pins,' he concluded, 'and of course it will pay.' Now, did ever Charles Sumner size up anything neater than that? I made matches for several years, and not only that, but I invented them! It was away back in the 30s, when I was a boy. I was always tooling with the ingredients, brimstone and the like, till finally I struck an idea. Then I went to work and made a few matches, rather crude, of course, and showed them to a few friends, but they didn't think it would amount to anything, and I didn't either, at first; so I minded nothing about it till 1834. I think it was, when a friend persuaded me to apply for a patent. It was quite a trip to Washington in these days," but in a few weeks I got word that a Chicopee man had tried a similar application a short time before mine arrived. I was certain that I couldn't get the patent by fighting for it, but I didn't." A Section of the Road Law. An enforcement of Section 2737 of the Road Law of the State might have the effect not only of giving us better roads in Anaheim but of forcing irrigators to use less water and thus distribute the available water over a greater area of territory. The section alluded to reads as follows: Whoever obstructs or injures any highway, or diverts any watercourse thereon, or drains water from his land upon any highway, to the injury thereof, by means of ditches or dams, is liable to a penalty of ten dollars for each day such obstruction or injury remains, and must be punished as provided in section 528 of the Penal Code. Any person, persons or corporation who shall be storing or distributing water for any purpose, and shall permit the water to overflow or saturate by seepage any highway, to the injury thereof, shall upon notification of the Road Overseer of the district where such overflow or seepage occurs, repair the damages occasioned by such overflow or seepage; and should such repair not be made within a reasonable time by such person, persons or corporation, said Road Overseer shall make such repairs, and recover the expense thereof from such person, persons or corporation, in an action at law. All persons excavating irrigation, mining, or drainage ditches across public highways are required to bridge said ditches at such crossings, and upon neglect to do so, the Road Overseer for that road district shall construct the same, and recover the cost of constructing of such persons by action, as provided Generous natures will hesitate about licking a postage stamp when it gets down to two cents. The spring poets are thawing out. We wish all of them would go to a warm climate to reside permanently. Queen Victoria, since her recent injury, may well say, "un-kneesy lies the head that wears a crown." Smithers call the attendants of the gigantic sofa fountain, in London, members of the Coldstream Guard. The condor of the Andes, is said to kill its prey with its bill, and the high-toned milliners are trying the same game on the married man. The young man's fancy now lightly turns to thoughts of whether that same pretty girl will be at the hotel where he stopped last summer. It was "Darling George" when a bridal couple left Onaba; it was "Dear George" at Chicago; at Detroit it was "George"; and when they reached Niagara Falls it was "Say you." The Emperor William says he feels no older now than he did forty years ago. However, when he is called on to put up a clothes line, or to chop up an armful of wood, he feels the fleeting years. An expert now says that the obelisk is not a rock, but was made of concrete. It may be. Judging from its hardness, we should not be surprised to hear that it is nothing but a big bar of hotel sand-soap. The New Bedford man who fainted away out in Montana was only brought out of a fit by placing a dead fish to his nose. As he slowly began to revive, he murmured, "How good! it smells just like home!" "Mamma," said a little boy, "I gave Carrie a pretty good hint to go home today." "What did you do, my son?" said his mother. "Oh, I filled her mouth with mustard and called it apple sauce, and she took the hint." A Quaker having sold a fine looking but blind horse, asked the purchaser, "Well, my friend, dost thou see any fault in him? No!" was the answer. "Neither will she ever see any in thee," said Old Broadleim. It was an Ohio man who forwarded a petition to Washington asking to be made Postmaster General, and claiming that he had a tongue so large that he could wet more stamps at one link than any other man in the country. Said the night watchman, when about dusk he was invited to drink a cup of coffee. "No, thank you. Coffee keeps me awake all night." And then he saw his blunder, was very much embarrassed, and tried to explain it. But it was no use. A Georgia couple waited over four years for a good opportunity to elope, and just as it came, the girl's father took the young man by the hand and said: "Speak up to her, Thomas! I know she loves you, and I'll be tickled to death to have you for a son-in-law." Miss Malvina Rimley has just started out with the ingredients, brimstone and the like, till finally I struck an idea. Then I went to work and made a few matches, rather crude, of course, and showed them to a few friends, but they didn't think it would amount to anything and I didn't either, at first; so I minded nothing about it till 1834. I think it was, when a friend persuaded me to apply for a patent. It was quite a trip to Washington in three days, but in a few weeks I got word that a Chicopee man had told a similar application a short time before mine arrived. I was certain that I could get the patent by fighting for it, but I didn't think that it would pay, and so I made an arrangement with the Chicopee man by which I was to offer no opposition to his getting the patent, but could have the privilege of manufacturing matches on my own hook. He got the patent and I went into the business. I had quite an establishment on Walnut street, hiring about thirty hands, mostly girls, and kept it till 37, the time of the painte. The Chicopee man was a drunken peller and he went to Boston on a spree and grabbed the patent away to men who have made their fortunes out of it. I sold matches all through this country, but there was a good deal of opposition to the manufacture. The papers said it was a bad for necendarism and many shop-keepers wouldn't sell them. The railroad had got as far as Worcester then, but they wouldn't carry matches, and I had to hire men to drive clear through to Boston. There were some other matches in the market that would crack like a pistol when you lit them, and when we put some in a box and set them alire it sounded like a small canonade. But my matches were like what we have now and werg the first ever made that I know of." Pawper Labor in England. There is no more wrinkled remembranced employment in the Kingdom than mail-making or one that, in consequence of the starvation prices paid, is more frequently interrupted by strikes. It spares nobody; mites of children out of school hours can in their small way, assist, and the poverty of their parents makes them glad to avail themselves or even their piny help; denate girls, mothers who are nursing their babies, aged women, bent and teable, and who all their lives have been in a manner of speaking, chained to the forge drudgery in the moist of smart and smoke, still go on hammering and tinging at the bellows until their strength utterly fails them. Then they retire for a brief spell to the workhouse and thence to the churchyard. It is a marvel how on the scanty wages they are enabled to earn they contrive to exist at all. I remember a poor soul at Cradley, a widow woman, who, with the assistance of her oldest daughter, a girl of thirteen, maintained by her chain-making the entire family, seven in humber. The lovel in which her forge was fixed adjoined the squall little two-roomed cottage where she was supposed to damages occasioned by such overflow or seepage; and should such repair not be made within a reasonable time by such person, persons or corporation, said Road Overseer shall make such repairs, and recover the expense thereof from such person, persons or corporation, in an action at law. All persons excavating irrigation, mining, or drainage ditches across public highways are required to bridge said ditches at such crossings, and upon neglect to do so, the Road Overseer for that road district shall construct the same, and recover the cost of construcing of such persons by action, as provided in this section. Queer Notices. Dean Alford relates that the following perplexious notice to engine drivers was exhibited—for a short time only; let us hope—at one of our railway stations. "Hereafter, when trains moving in an opposite direction are approaching each other on separate lines, conductors and engineers will be required to bring their respective trains to a dead halt before the point of meeting; and be very careful not to proceed until each train has passed the other." Equally land was the placard announcing a pleasure trip to Warkworth one day during the summer of 1851; in which was the following passage, which implies that the crew adopted the light and air costume of our primitive ancestors: "The Gleaner is one of the finest and fastest boats on the Tyne; her accommodation is in every respect good and comfortable; her crew skillful, steady and obliging; being lovely painted and decorated for pleasure trips." We can easily imagine that a notice like the next one we give was quite likely to have the effect desired as one couched in the usual stern tone, and concluding with the inevitable threat of persecution. It is said to have been posted up at North Shields: "Whereas several idle and disorderly persons have lately made a practice of riding on an ass belonging to Mr.,—the head of the ropery stairs; now lost any accident should happen; he takes this method of informing the public that he has determined to shoot the said ass; and cautions any person that may be riding on it at the same time to take care of himself; lost by some unfortunate mistake he should shoot the wrong one." Lamb Forsworn by the Queen. London Daily News We stated yesterday that in consequence of the heavy mortality among the sheep and lambs in the present season and the low state to which the flocks in this country had been reduced, the Queen had given orders that no lamb is to be served for food in the royal household this year. The example thus set by the Queen is one which it is greatly to be hoped others will be disposed to follow. Both in this country and in some of the Continental countries there has been a serious decrease in the past few years in Said the night watchman, when about dusk he was invited to drink a cup of coffee. "No, thank you. Coffee keeps me awake all night." And then he saw his blunder, was very much embarrassed, and tried to explain it. But it was no use. A Georgia couple waited over four years for a good opportunity to elope, and just as it came, the girl's father took the young man by the hand and said: "Speak up to her, Thomas! I know she loves you, and I'll be tickled to death to have you for a son-in-law." Miss Malvina Rumley has just started out with her bean for a walk, when her little brother Johnnie calls to fier from the fence: "I say, Malvina, don't you bring that feller back here to tea with you. Mamma says there ain't mor'n enough biscuits to go around as it is." This is a story of what happened not long since in the Pine Tree State, A new Baptist convert wished very much to be baptized by one minister and join the church of another. She went to the first, and asked him if it could be done. "Yes," he replied, "I could do it, but I don't take in washing." "Yes," said the witness, "I remember the defendant's mother crying on the occasion referred to. She was weeping with her left eye—the only one she has—and the tears were running down her right cheek." "What!" exclaimed the Judge, "how could that be?" "Please, your Honor," said the witness, "She was awfully cross-eyed." "In our country," says the Englishman, as he leaned back in his chair, "before we marry we arrange to settle a certain sum upon the wife." "Yes, I know," replied the American, "but with us it is different. It is after we are married that we settle everything on the wife and arrange to beat our creditors." "Haw! I see. And how do the creditors take it?" "They never find anything to take." Great Things of the World. The greatest thing in the world is the Falls of Niagara; the largest cavern—the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky; the largest river, the Mississippi, four thousand miles in extent; the largest mass of solid iron, Pilot Knob, of Missouri; height, 250 feet; circumference, 2 miles. The best remedy for Piles and Skin diseases, Swayne's Ointment. The biggest lake, Lake Superior; the longest railroad, the Pacific Railroad, over three thousand miles in extent.—Statistical Gazette. Example is better than precept.” It is well known that dyspepsia, bilious attacks, headache and many other ill can only be cured by removing their cause. Kidney-Wort has been proved to be the most effectual remedy for these, and for habitual costiveness, which so afflicts millions of the American people. We stated yesterday that, in consequence of the heavy mortality among the sheep and lambs in the present season and the low state to which the flocks in this country had been reduced, the Queen had given orders that no lamb is to be served for food in the royal household this year. The example thus set by the Queen is one which it is greatly to be hoped others will be disposed to follow. Both in this country and in some of the Continental countries there has been a serious decrease in the past few years in the number of sheep, and the process of replenishment is not one that can be hastened. Ewes of the older breed usually have one lamb a year, and those of the modern and more highly fed varieties rarely have more than two, though triplets are sometimes seen. The chance of increase in the number of sheep in the country is therefore dependent in some degree on the preservation of the lambs of the present season. The diminution which, if the example of the Queen be widely followed, would take place in the demand, would enable the farmers to keep the sweat lambs for further replenishment of their flocks. Unchecked consumption tends to perpetuate and increase a scarcity, which will certainly be of serious detriment to farming prospects, and which will only be prevented from becoming serious to consumers by bringing from New Zealand and Australia the supplies which might otherwise have been raised in our own fields. Mr. Mink testified, in a Racine court that he regarded Miss Albrecht as slightly bad tempered. She immediately cried out that he was a liar, and threw herself upon him, pulling his whiskers and scratching his face. The verdict of the jury was in harmony with Mr. Mink's opinion. A Vered Clergyman. Even the patience of Job would become exhausted were he a preacher and endeavoring to interest his audience while they were keeping up an incessant coughing, making it impossible for him to be heard. Yet, how very easy can all this be avoided by simply using Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Trial Bottle GAZETTE. MAY 19, 1883. OF the Road Law. Mrs. Hannah S. Grant, the mother of ex-President Grant, died at Jersey City last week. The residence of Wm. Holds, at Holly Springs, Ark., was destroyed by fire and three children burned to death. Mr. Langtry, the Lily's husband, will soon arrive in New York. This is understood to mean that he will publicly approve his wife's conduct in this country. Amasa Stone, the founder of Adelbert College, suicided at Cleveland, Ohio, by shooting himself. Financial reverses caused mental derangement. Mrs. John Elnis, a widow whose husband died in 1878, attempted to shoot Dr. H. W. Parnel, a well known physician, in the Court House at Memphis, Tenn., claiming that he promised to marry her, but refused to keep the pleige. George E. Hurd, ex-Sheriff of Schuyler county, N. Y., committed suicide in the Watkins jail. It is supposed his wife furnished him the revolver. Hurd was under sentence of five years for an attempt to kill the Deputy Sheriff. Archbishop Cooke of Dublin was received by the Pope, when the Pope informed the Archbishop of certain grave resolutions which he had taken in regard to the agitation in Ireland; especially one condemning the clergy in promoting the Parnell fund. It is believed that the resolutions will shortly be sent to the Irish Episcopate. BURGLAR LORE. A detective officer brought in a prisoner to his Captain in a certain police district on a certain day. The Captain had been appointed solely for his "fluence" and was decidedly unfit for his important position. "Who is this man?" demanded the Captain. "I think he's a 'hollow,' sir." "What is a 'hollow'? "A decided 'beat.'" "What has he been doing?" asked the Captain. "He was trying to 'whirl a hoop' on a 'hoody dooly.'" "What's that you say?" demanded the superior officer. "You see, sir," began the arresting officer. "I was 'piping a 'mort' with a house to let,' and I 'got on to this 'cove' trying to get 'honey out of a 'chump' on a 'noep racket.' I went to give him the 'collar,' when he 'hopped the twig.' Up comes his 'pal,' who was a 'huff,' and tries to 'hug' me, singing out at the same time to the other 'hollow,' 'move your beaters' into M—street or 'you'll be sick.' I was 'fly to the racket,' for I saw that the 'hooker' had a 'humphrey' on him. Besides that the 'hob-nail' was there to 'peach,' I 'blazed' away and 'jacked the duster.' His 'pai' thumped me on the idea pot and loosened all my ivories. Then he 'padded the hood,' I think he must have been a 'high tabey,' but my eyes, how he did 'take.' He was a 'hot in tegs,' though Well, I 'pinched this hawk,' and when I told him he would have come before the 'high beak' he wanted to load me with 'hush stuff,' but he had enough hard gale to 'hank me.'" "Stop man," cried the Captain, "what in the name of all that's wonderful are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say." "Don't you patter flash?" enquired the officer. "Don't I what?" George E. Hurk, ex-Sheriff of Schuyler county, N.Y., committed suicide in the Watkins jail. It is supposed his wife furnished him the revolver. Hurk was under sentence of five years for an attempt to kill the Deputy Sheriff. Arbishop Cooke of Dublin was received by the Pope, when the Pope informed the Arbishop of certain grave resolutions which he had taken in regard to the agitation in Ireland, especially one condemning the clergy in promoting the Parnell fund. It is believed that the resolutions will shortly be sent to the Irish Episcopate. Mrs. Dana Grier of Wheeling, W.I., was rebuffed of diamonds and jewelry value at $12,000 a few weeks ago by thieves who entered her house during the absence of the family, has re-eived nearly all of the stolen articles by mail in a drop letter. There is no clue to the thieves. The robbery created quite a sensation, because of the bold manner in which it was perpetrated. Two German residents of Chicago, C.H.J. Miller, an undertaker and William Bashorn, a brewer, both married men—had a duel with broadswords at Bowmanville, it is alleged, over the affctions of a maiden. Six carriages, containing the principals, seconds, surgeons and friends, proceeded to the rendezvous. The undertaker, the challenging party, was cut rather severely about the head and cried quits. Governor Blackburn of Kentucky pardoned James Sizemore, sent to the penitentiary from Clay county in 1880 for six years, on a charge of murder. Sizemore made no defence on the trial. His brother, a man with a large family, was the real criminal, but Sizemore voluntarily took this offence and penalty; on himself for the sake of his brother and family. The brother dying the other day, confessed his guilt and gave unmistakable proof of the truth of his confession. The Governor on learning the facts, at once issued a pardon to Sizemore. News from the convict camp on the George town and Lanes Railroad, South Carolina, is that a break for liberty was made by nine of the ninety-five convicts. The guards fired and one was killed outright; one was shot in the river and was drowned; and a third was shot and is supposed to have been drowned. Six escaped and two were captured. One of the convicts shot was a white man named Codes. The escape is supposed to have been instigated by Codes, who was a life convict, sentenced for murder. One of the negroes killed had been pardoned by Governor Thompson, but notice of the pardon had not been received at the convict camp until after his death. The Bad Boy. "Well, you are the meanest boy I ever heard of," said the grocery man. "But what about your pax dancing a chag dance in the church Sunday. The minister's hired girl was in here after some codfish yesterday morning, and she said the minister said your pa had scandalized the church the worst way." Oh, he didn't dance in church. He was alone with me afforded me almost instant and permanent relief. My friends consider them as invaluable and speedily remedy for all kinds of scales and pain. They are a blessing in disguise and no wife or mother should be without them; if she values her peace and comfort and freedom from nervous education and other miliments. As a strong cheering platter, also for backaches and weaknesses, they have no equal. I have never yet found a plaster so effusive and attributing, or to give so much general satisfaction. Used in connection with Beaver Island's universal life-giving and life-beginning Notices. Relates that the following case to engine drivers was exposed time only; let us hope away stations. Hereafter, being in an opposite direction each other on separate lines, engineers will be required to active trains to a dead halt of meeting, and be very proceed until each train has arrived. Equally lucid was the ongoing pleasure trip to Warkshire during the summer of 1881, the following passage which crew adopted the light and our primitive ancestors: one of the finest and fastest ones; her accommodation is in good and comfortable, her steady and obliging being and decorated for pleasure easily imagine that a no-nothing we give was quite as effective desired as one unusual stern tone, and conducive inevitable threat of persecution to have been posted upstairs. Whereas several idle persons have lately made a stand on an ass belonging to head of the ropery stars, incident should happen, he need of informing the public determined to shoot the said any person that may be same time to take care by some fortunate mistake in the wrong one." The Bad Boy. "Well, you are the meanest boy I ever heard of," said the grocery man. "But what about your pa's dancing a clog dance in the church Sunday. The minister's hired girl was in here after some codish yesterday morning, and she said the minister said your pa had scandalized the church the worst way." "Oh, he didn't dance in church. He was a little excited, that's all. You see, pa chews tobacco, and it is pretty hard on him to sit all through the sermon without taking a chew, and he got nervous. He always reaches around in his pistol pocket when they stand up to sing the last time, and feels in his tobacco-box and gets out a chew and puts it in his mouth when the minister pronounces the benediction, and then when they get out doors he is all ready to spit. He always does that. Well, my chum had a present on Christmas of a music-box, just about as big as pa's tobacco-box, and all you have to do is to touch a spring and it plays 'She's a daisy,' she's a dumplin. I borrowed it and put it in pa's pistol pocket, where he keeps his tobacco box, and when the choir got most through singing pa reached his hand in his pocket, where he keeps his tobacco-box, and began to fumble around for a chew. He touched the spring, and just a everybody bowed their heads to receive the benediction, and it was so still you could hear a gum drop, the music-box began to play, and in the stillness it sounded as loud as a church organ. Well, I thought ma would sink. The minister heard it and he looked toward pa, and everybody looked at pa, too, and pa turned red, and the music-box kept up 'She's a Daisy,' and the minister looked mad and said 'amen,' and the people began to put on their coats, and the minister told the deacon to hunt up the source of that worldly music, and they took pa into the room back of the pulpit and searched him, and ma says pa will have to be churched. They kept the music-box, and I have got to carry coal to get money enough to buy my chum a new music-box. Well, I shall have to go and get the vase-line, or pa's leg will suffer. Good day."—Peck's Sun. One Trial. If you have been using other Plasters on trial of Attacker's Poors will convince you of their wonderful superiority. Take no other social perils plasters that claim to be better; they are all frauds gotten up to sell on the world-wide reputation of the genuine article. The ostrich farm near Cairo extends from the Virgin's tree to the desert, and comprises several acres of land surrounded by high mud walls. The greater part of the farm is desert, the loose, pebbly sand being essential to the well-being of the ostrich. There are present on the farm 120 birds more than a year's growth, and of these fifteen are female and twelve are male adults—that is to say they are more than three years old, the age at which they commence to lay. Twelve of the adults are now laying and three are engaged in hatching—one being upon twenty-two, one upon fourteen—and one upon eleven eggs. Strange to see the male bird attends more to the hatchment part of the business than the female, especially in cold or rainy weather, and, fact, often undertakes the whole of the tedious duty himself, being only relieved on his better half at meal hours.—New York Sun.
