H(0crUauroit0. An editor in Mississippi was lately whipped by a rmn and kicked out of his own office, for publishing an account of his death. He probably wished to show the editor that he was 'alive and kifkiny.' While thousands fall by clashing swords, ten thousands fall by corset boards; yet giddy females, thoughtless train for the sake of fashion yield to pain! and health and comfort sacrifice, to please the dandy coxcomb's eyes. Tight Boots. A Rsasos. "Snobbs," said Mrs. Snobbs to her husband the day after the bi. 11, "Snobbs, why did you dance with every lady in the hall lust night before you noticed me?" "Why, my dear, aid the devoted Snobbs, "I was only practicing what we do at the table, reserving the be6t for the List." Carpet Bag. A traveler who has been over the ground, says that people who cross the Isthmus carry along too great a variety, viz: bed blankets, pork, stewpans, and valises. In his opinion, all a man wants for the whole voyage is, a bottle of bran- dy one to kill time, and the other "Greasers!" Ignorance takes to dirt as naturally as it ' does to ugliness. In proof of this, we would mention that a dealer in ashes in- forms us that the opening of a public school in a Ward increases the sale of "valler soap" twenty-fiv- e per cent. From this it will be seen that the more people read, the more they think; and the more they think, the more frequently they in- dulge in wash basins and clean towels. No man ever knows when, where or whom he will marry. It's all nonsense planning and speculating about it. You might as well look out for a spot to fall in a &teeple chase. You come smash down in the very middle of your A Penman. A London witness having described himself a 'penman," was asked what department of literature he wielded his pen', and replied that he penned sheep in Smithfield Market. When your wife begins to scold, let her have it out. Put your feet up cozily over the fire place loll back on your chair light one of your best cigars, and let the storm rage on. Say nothing make no answer to anything. Give the devil his due. Certainly but it is better to have no dealings with the devil, and then theie will be nothing due him. Why is a woman hunting for the bel- lows, like a man "shinning" round after money? Because she is trying to "raise the wind. ihe young man who perpe- trated this, was last seen when his friends lost sight of him. If any person has seen him since, they will please buy a bluuder-bus- s and report. There is one rule without an exception, and that is, the mors salary a man gets, the less he attends to his business. Go to any of our public officers, and the only person you will find at his desk, will be some poor devil who gets barely sufficient to pay Ins board bill. A genius out in Iowa has just invented a wooden horse that will jump thirty miles an hour. The motive power is a bag of fleas. Who says this is not an age ot pro jection to fat, and that ly.

Hut this mari'ii oi rninu in una ii'e-i- i auu siiuiujuo ... . , ,. , country. Alter the Milwaukie am; cinnati Telegraph Company had been in operation for a consinerable time, and ptid well, it occurred to an enterprising citizen of Bangtown, which is about twelve miles from Milwaukie, that the prospects oi mat great place would be much promoted by haying the Telegraph wires extended into the heart of that town. Very few people could at first be brought to agree with the views of the enterprising citizen. The place contains two stores, two taverns, one black smith's shop, and a few houses dis- posed irregularly on an irregular street, extending the distance of half a mile. Several public meetigngs were held, ad- dressed by the lawyer of the town, and "enprising citizens" by whom speeches were made, arguing that the want of pub lic spirit was a great draw-bac- k to the prosperity ot the place; that while rvew York, Cincinnati, and Milwaukie, were fast increasing in wealth and population, Bangtown by the remissness of its inhabi- tants, was at a stand still. Had it an Electric Telegraph, you would see a very different state of things. Trade would be rapidlv increased by the lightning rapidi- ty of intelligence; and the streets of Bang-tow- n, now nearly deserted, would be en- livened by the hum of business, and the rolling of carts. The eloquence and energy of the only two zealom inhabitants of Bangtown, at last so far prevailed over the plegmetic disposition of the others, that the subscrip- tion list was at last made up. The ches-nu- t posts were' planted at equal distances along the route, and coils of wire were stretched from post to post. At lastihe work was perfect, and it on- ly remained to put up a large sign-hoar- d at the termination of the wires, which was accordingly done Office of the Bang- - town and Milwaukie Telegraph Com- - PANT. Public curiosity was on the qui vivc; scores of people were waiting to see the operation of the thing, and the magnates of the place predicted the time when grass should no longer grow in the streets, and Bangtown should become a great western city. Strange as it may appear, after the electrical communication had been made complete, and the agent of the company had sat for many days in his office, wait- ing for the clicking sound which announ- ces that a message is at hand, no message came, and no electrical sparks were dis charged. The immense business of Bang-tow- n had not yet demanded the rapid march of intelligence which had been an- ticipated. The store-keepe- r got his but- ter and cheese fast enough by wagon, and sold them too slowly to ensure anything better than "slow and sure profits." No one at a distance found it imperitively nec- essary to communicate in doubh- - quick time with the village of Bangtown. No crowd was seen about the office of the Company, contending for precedence in the dispatch of correspondence. No birds were seen to drop suddenly dead from the wires; and while electricity discharged itself very plentifully from the clouds in various thunder storms, and cousumed a few barns in the neighborhood, very little of it appeared to travel over the electric wires. The agent sat patiently in the of- fice, sucking his thumbs and reading the "Milwaukie Herald," and the "Bangtown Sentinel," occasionally thinking where his salary was to come from. The stock-holde- trembled for their dividends. At the end of six months the wires rusted, and the prospects of the place remained in stau quo. This was too bad. At last the President of the company, who was still sanguine went to Miliwaukie on business, and lo! and behold, when he got there, re- ceived a message through the Post Office, that his wife was sick. It was a Satur day nigh. Business would detain him un til Monday. But the affection of a father and a husband brook no delay. The post was too slow, and with eagerness and no little excitement, he rushed to the office of the Bangtown Telegraph. There he wrote in as few words as possible, as follows: Mr. Bluff will return on Monday morning. When the message was dis- charged, he returned to his hotel, and du- ring the next day, kept his mind in toler able peace. On Monday he took the first stage and reached Bangtown at ten o'clock receiving the moment that he entered his own doors, a severe rebuke from Mrs. Bluff, for heartlessness and neglect. In a halt hour alter his arrival, a sealed note arribed from the office of the Badgtown Telegraph, written in the,hand of the Agent vnd containing this remarkable announce- ment: Mr. Bluff will return on Monday morning. The posts of the telegraph now incline at a dangerous angle over the road; many are fallen down; the wires are broken in numerous places, and the other night were blown down, although the road in one place so as nearly to cut off the head of a countryman going to the Miliwaukie mar- ket, who has brought an action for dam- ages against the Bangtown Telegraph Company. .Jr.'s Faith.

But tis almost useless at this time ol day to talk about conscientiousness, in the leaders of the Church.

With a holy look of clerical con- tempt, the parson ordered the robbery wagon to drive on. He had just taken the poor man's tenth pig tenth babies not bring canonical.

A traveler who has been over theground, says that people who cross theIsthmus carry along too great a variety,viz: bed blankets, pork, stewpans, andvalises. In his opinion, all a man wantsfor the whole voyage is, a bottle of bran-

dy one to kill time, and the other"Greasers!"

Ignorance takes to dirt as naturally as it' does to ugliness. In proof of this, wewould mention that a dealer in ashes in-

forms us that the opening of a publicschool in a Ward increases the sale of"valler soap" twenty-fiv- e per cent. Fromthis it will be seen that the more peopleread, the more they think; and the morethey think, the more frequently they in-

dulge in wash basins and clean towels.

country. Alter the Milwaukie am;

cinnati Telegraph Company had been in

operation for a consinerable time, and ptidwell, it occurred to an enterprising citizenof Bangtown, which is about twelve milesfrom Milwaukie, that the prospects oi matgreat place would be much promoted byhaying the Telegraph wires extended intothe heart of that town. Very few peoplecould at first be brought to agree with

the views of the enterprising citizen. Theplace contains two stores, two taverns, oneblack smith's shop, and a few houses dis-

posed irregularly on an irregular street,extending the distance of half a mile.Several public meetigngs were held, ad-

dressed by the lawyer of the town, and"enprising citizens" by whom speecheswere made, arguing that the want of public spirit was a great draw-bac- k to the

prosperity ot the place; that while rvewYork, Cincinnati, and Milwaukie, werefast increasing in wealth and population,Bangtown by the remissness of its inhabi-

tants, was at a stand still. Had it anElectric Telegraph, you would see a verydifferent state of things. Trade would berapidlv increased by the lightning rapidi-

ty of intelligence; and the streets of Bang-tow- n,

now nearly deserted, would be en-

livened by the hum of business, and therolling of carts.

The eloquence and energy of the onlytwo zealom inhabitants of Bangtown, atlast so far prevailed over the plegmeticdisposition of the others, that the subscrip-tion list was at last made up. The ches-nu- t

posts were' planted at equal distancesalong the route, and coils of wire werestretched from post to post.

At lastihe work was perfect, and it on-

ly remained to put up a large sign-hoar- d

at the termination of the wires, which wasaccordingly done Office of the Bang- -

town and Milwaukie Telegraph Com- -

PANT.

Public curiosity was on the qui vivc;scores of people were waiting to see theoperation of the thing, and the magnatesof the place predicted the time when grassshould no longer grow in the streets, andBangtown should become a great westerncity.

Strange as it may appear, after theelectrical communication had been madecomplete, and the agent of the companyhad sat for many days in his office, wait-

ing for the clicking sound which announ-

ces that a message is at hand, no messagecame, and no electrical sparks were discharged. The immense business of Bang-tow- n

had not yet demanded the rapidmarch of intelligence which had been an-

ticipated. The store-keepe- r got his but-

ter and cheese fast enough by wagon, andsold them too slowly to ensure anythingbetter than "slow and sure profits." Noone at a distance found it imperitively nec-

essary to communicate in doubh- - quicktime with the village of Bangtown. Nocrowd was seen about the office of theCompany, contending for precedence in

the dispatch of correspondence. No birdswere seen to drop suddenly dead fromthe wires; and while electricity dischargeditself very plentifully from the clouds in

various thunder storms, and cousumed afew barns in the neighborhood, very littleof it appeared to travel over the electricwires. The agent sat patiently in the of-

fice, sucking his thumbs and reading the"Milwaukie Herald," and the "BangtownSentinel," occasionally thinking where hissalary was to come from. The stock-holde-

trembled for their dividends. At theend of six months the wires rusted, andthe prospects of the place remained instau quo. This was too bad. At last thePresident of the company, who was stillsanguine went to Miliwaukie on business,and lo! and behold, when he got there, re-

ceived a message through the Post Office,

that his wife was sick. It was a Saturday nigh. Business would detain him until Monday. But the affection of a fatherand a husband brook no delay. The postwas too slow, and with eagerness andno little excitement, he rushed to theoffice of the Bangtown Telegraph. Therehe wrote in as few words as possible, asfollows: Mr. Bluff will return on Mondaymorning. When the message was dis-

charged, he returned to his hotel, and du-

ring the next day, kept his mind in tolerable peace. On Monday he took the firststage and reached Bangtown at ten o'clockreceiving the moment that he entered hisown doors, a severe rebuke from Mrs.Bluff, for heartlessness and neglect. In ahalt hour alter his arrival, a sealed notearribed from the office of the BadgtownTelegraph, written in the,hand of the Agentvnd containing this remarkable announce-ment: Mr. Bluff will return on Mondaymorning.

The posts of the telegraph now inclineat a dangerous angle over the road; manyare fallen down; the wires are broken innumerous places, and the other night wereblown down, although the road in oneplace so as nearly to cut off the head of acountryman going to the Miliwaukie mar-ket, who has brought an action for dam-

ages against the Bangtown TelegraphCompany.
