Dispatch No. 2, has been decided by
the post-office department as the one
entitled to. admittance through the
mails.
An exchange says that it doubts
whether all men are dust. Dust
settles, but some men never do. Eight

A naughty boy one day evaded
punishment by creeping under the bed,
where his mother could not reach bim,
Shortly after bis father came, and,
when told of the state of affairs, crawled gn his bauds and knees in search of
his sob and heir, when to his astonishment, he was asked: "Is she after
^ you, too* father."
"Tis said that two clergymen in nearby towns agreed to exchange pulpits
last S'littdly.' One of them made the
following solema announcement to his
Congregation on the Sabbath previous
to the event: "My dear brethren and
Sisters, X have the pleasure of stating
that on nest Sunday morning the Eev.
 —will preach for you.   Let us now
sing two verses of hymn 1*0.489, "That
awful day will surely come,"
The attendance at the farmers' institute held at Onaway recently was
very small, which leads the Onawav
Democrat to remark:" "Judging by
their conspicuous absence from the
agricultural love feast Tuesday,- there
are a good many people in this beautiful neck of hardwood timber who are
more stuck on the chase after the almighty dollar than upon either religion or farmers' institutes,"
In one of our western mining camps,
siys an exchange, a church society has
rented the basement of its church for
a. beer hall. A tramp printer who had
seen a large portion of the globe acd
h.d met with numberless illfortunes
of life, emerged from a box car and
posted the folowinv-. inscription: "A
spirit above and a spiritbelow, a spirit
of love and a spirit of woe; the spirit
ab'jve Is a spirit 'devine, and the spirit
below is a spirit of wine,"
The Oasevilie Critic says that a(
young man in that village who purchased two tickets for the local lecture
course offers to sell one for half price,
Inst as good as new, only used once.
He says he bought it for his best girl
and on their way home from the first
lecture he mentioned the subject nearest to his upper vest pocket on the left
side aud she told him she could only
be a lectuie course sister to him.
Hence the offer to sell.
The committee appointed to investigate the death of Judge Corbett, who
was shot last fall in his camp in the
upper peninsula, reports that it believes that he was murdered. The
members are E. S. Pratt, P. 0. Gilbert
and John Loranger, Charles Corbett,
his son, was declared to be innocent.
Members of a hunting party wuocamp-
''' ed near the Judge's place, hinted that
Charles was the man who did the
deed, but they never produced affidavits.
John Harmar, of JohDstown, is in a
world of perplexity and can't see his
way out of it. He recently purchased
Bix turkeys, which later proved out to
be all gobblers. He afterward traded
two of the gobblers for five geese,
which all turned out to be ganders.
Then his mother-in-law innocently
presented him with seven ducks that
proved to be of the masculine gender.
John knows that his flocks cannot increase, and the noise tbev keep up in
the barnyard will yet drive him to the
madhouse.—Lexington News,
"An old couple from tbe east," says
the Detroit Free Press, "are visiting
their son in this city. If the mother
gets out of sight of the father he is
constantly asking for her and is not
content till they are-together again.
The other evening she- went to another
part ot the house while he was in the
parlor, and after he had asked for uer
a half dozen times the son said, rather
curtly: £ "Ib seems as though you
couldn't be without mother five
minutes at a time." "'You're right,
said the old gentleman slowly, "That's
the reason I married her,"
The man that shuns my acquaintance and stops .his paper because I
vwill not sell my honor for gold is too
beastly to be recognized of men, too
cowardly to associate with a bull pup
and too unscrupulous to have his lib-
-efity. 1 respect the man who honestly
differs with me upon any subject, but
When a maa Bays: "Supposing it is
•wrong; you ought to support it, because you're a republican, and If you
don't I'll stop my paper," why then it

Any editor does a great deal of
thinking about matters ,.he does not

why so many persons living in his immediate neighborhood refuse to help
him by subscribing. He thinks "Well,
if any of that man's family are born,
married, die or anything happens to
any oi them, if they are hurt in any
way, ho expects me to tell all about it,
and yet he wont even buy an extra
copy or send in bis subscription."
That's one of the* things be thia'cs,
and there are many more thoughts
that keep him busy trying to find out
the reason why,—Ex",
The following is a bit of advice
which san be followed withproflt; "If
every citizen would make a point ot
speaking to his or her neighbor, associate or friend in a pleasant way, what
a delightful community we should
have. Don't gossip. Any gossip is
idle; evil gossip is criminal. Drop the

isn't keep still. We are all open for
critism. No two persons look at a
matter from the same Point of, view.
There is some good in everybody, and
that is what we should be looking out
for. Just peg away, mind your own
business and keep everlastingly at it."
—Maucelona Herald,
Parcel Briokerhoff says in the Battle
Creek Moon: The only way to avoid
debts is to nay as you go. .Financially
it gives the strongest and happiest
condition of the human being. To
wake up in the morning and having
no debts it Is like sweet sunshine coming on earth, when everything smiles
with beauty. The habit of desiring to
get trusted has more to do towards
the ill-shaping of human character
than many persons are" aware of; more
than anything-els'sin the world. Even
though you're good pay it places you
in obligation to another that warps
your manly or womanly character of
independence that is your grandest of
dignified self-respect. To owe no man
anything, you are shielded by an eternal conviction that is with you, which
if you practice through life you will

"Over the hills to tbe poorhouss"
had a particular sad representation at*
the Branch county poorbouse about a
week ago. An Inmate, an aged woman
of 70, lay dying at tne notne. One of
the superintendents of the poc r sat by
her bed and asked the old mother if he
could do anything for her. W itb tears
rolling down her furrowed face she replied: "Yes, 1 have a son near here;
send for bim, Oh!" said tbe aged wo-
woman, "my boy has not visited me
since I was brought here, and I do
want to see bim once more." The son
was sent for, but although he had
ample time to visit and sooth the last
moments of the mother who never
cast him off as he liad her. he never
came and only the preseuce of strangers was given her when the ld,st moment came. The aged women was a
pioneer in the county, braving all its
pioneer hardships, and finally left to
pass her last days In the county home,
Oratory and tlie Printing Press.
Many editors have advanced Hie peculiar idea that tbe printing press is
destined to relegate oratory to tbe
lost arts, because by its aid those with
a message-to mankind can reach infinitely larger audiences. That is another graye mistake of the "public
opinion molders," We are not satis-
fled with reading beautiful verses—we
insist that Patti "lend to the charm
of the poet the music of her voice."
j&^or a few pennies we may purchase
Ingersoll's grandest oration; but reading it only makes us long the more to
hear it How like a Grecian epic from
his lips of gold. Like poetry and song,
aud all other blossoms of civilization,
eloquence is but made the popular by
the press. What is • eloquence? Unfortunately, I am unable to illustrate
—to furnish an example; butjtam not
obligated to build any rainbows because I talk about them sometimes.
True eloauen.eeJ§,. the. roost precious
gift of the immortal gods. It Is the
perfume of the jasamine oud and the
languor of tbe lotos. -It is life's sunshine and its hopeless desert, It is
deep calllngunto deep, tuesong of the
morning stars, the language of the
soul. It is all of love and hate, of po-
etrv and of passlou, of rejoicing and
regret. It wn/'sin the trumpet's blast-,
throbs in the mother's lullaby and
glistens in the lover's tears. It is at
otice Golgotha and Grove -of Daphne,-
Gesthemane and the Garden of Gul—
the highest heaven and tbe deepest
hell. Sometimes it casts" a Oireeao
spell upon the'souis of men, and again
it binds the great round earth every
way "with gold chains about the feet
of God." Its pwtent charm, its won-
3roud power, will survive even the
priuting press, that wonder-worker of
tht' modern world—will lire, "as long
as tue heart knows passiou, as long as
life has woes."

THE ARTIST'S RUSE.
A rich merchant led Murillo, the illustrious'painter, one flay to the marketplace
of Seville, and, pointing out to him a
young girl of 16, of the gypsy race, asked
him to do her portrait,
Tho gypsy girl was so beautiful and looked so picturesque, in the midst of the
baskets of fruit she was offering for sale,
that the painter did not hesitate to accept
the commission,
"If you can paint the picture in a
month's time," said the idorohant, "you
may name your own price for it."
Murillo promised the portrait for the end
of the moDth and asked 100 golden Philips,
whioh the merchant agreed to.
Murillo glanced oncemoreat the features
and form of his beautiful model, and then
■sveni; to see her relations, to ask their permission for the young girl to sit to him.
The gitaUa'sralationa consisted of a very
bad looking man, who was her unole^and
a very good looking man, In 6voi-y sense
of the word, who was her cousin. The artist talked with them for- .some time, and
on, taking leave of,them, shook hands cordially with the cousin. To the uncle he
Was somewhat colder, for he had discovered that ho waa a selfish and avaricious
man.
Murillo had a sitting the very next day,
and the first fitroko of his brush already
announced a masterpiece when the merchant entered his studio.
"The head will be admirable,"' said the
purchaser, In a half patronizing tone.
'Tarn glad it pleases you," replied Murillo; "particularly as I have made up my
mind to ask you rather more than the sum
originally named.''
"But I told you to mention your own
price," expostulated tho merchant. Ton
said 300 JPbiiipHj-und I agreqd to give them
to you. I do not think you ought to do-
mandmore than that amount now."
"I am very sorry," said Murillo, "hut I
find that will bo impossiblo'to lot you have
the picture for less than 000. If you do
not liko to give so muoh, thoro has not
been much time lost yet, and you will be
able to get some other artist to execute the
commission. But really I shall be obliged
to give It up unless • you can afford to remunerate me for my trouble."
"As for affording it," returned tho merchant, "you know that I am not poor, hut
tho sum is a largo one. After all, I will
not dlsputo with you about 600 Philips.
It is a great deal of money for you to receive, but it is not much for me to give."
"View tho matter na you please," Eaid
Murillo philosophically, "only let me have
tho money."
"You shall have tho C00," said tbe
merchant, with something liko a sigh. "I
will sign an asreoinont with you, for that
uxnpum; this evening."    '
"Why not at once?" suggested Murillo,
"since you are resolved to give it."
"Who knows," answered the inerchapir.
"Perhaps this evening you Will be more
reasonable in your demands,"
"Oh, you are not decided then," said
the painter.
"Yes, I am decided," replied tho purchaser, "But I prefer not .to sign any
agreement until this evening."
In the evening Mtirillo informed the
merchant gravely and coolly that ho could
not accept 600 Philips, but that he must
have 1,000,
Of bourse the merchant refused point
Wank in the first instance. Then he hesitated, offered 700, 800, 900,'and at last
agreed to give the full 1,000. This time a
formal agreement was signed.
At the end of the month the portrait
was finished. Whea the merohant came to
take it away, he found the original standing before it ij^ full dress, as if on the
point of starting for some fete. By her
side Were her uncle and cousin, also in
holiday costume, and especially the cousin,
Who had evidently got himself up for some
Very important occasion.
Tho merchant paid the 1,000 Philips.
As soon as Murillo bad received the
money and put it away carefully in a portfolio, he opened a side door in his atelier,,
and from tho adjoining chamber entered
a priest and two witnesses.
The merchant thoughthe must bo dreaming.
"Sir," said Murillo at length,."while
you Were bargaining with jne about the
portrait of that young girl you Were bai>
gaining with her relatives for the young
girl herself, whom you had already sold to
a pirate to be carried into slavery. Yob
need not deny it; yourprotestations would
be in vain, for X heard all that Was going
on from tho cousin. Tho uncle thought at
last that ho had hotter accept my oiler
than yours, and as tho young people were
already boti-othed to one another I thought
it would be a good idea to marry them and
make you pay tho dower. You know now
what I am going to do with tho thousand
Philips. The undo would not hear of the
matoh being arranged for 100 and>wantcd
60Q. If you had signed tho agreement, for
G00 when I proposed it at first, you might
still have gained tho day, but Providence
was on one side and made you blind. You
went to the uncle, and, finding, as you
thought, that he had received some higher
bid for the poor child, who was sacrificed
through you to a pirato and through this
pirate to a Turkish pasha, you increased
your offer to tho avaricious guardian who
is standing there so coolly at tho present
moment, but who has now given us his
word boyoud tho possibility of recall. As
fcho unolo had now a prospect of getting a
larger sum than he had originally -oxpoat-
cd from you, ho explained to mo that' it
would not answer his Duruose to behave
like an libnest man -umess x in. my rara
increased my offer. This, through your
liberality, I was enabled to do, and at last,
without telling you of his intention, ho resolved to roject your proposition and to accept mine. Here is the priest; here are the
witnesses. Imagine, if you can, that you
represent tho friend, and all will be complete. I have deprived you of the model,
but you will still have the portrait. Send
it to tho piicV. jt you think ho would liko
it."
The marriygo was celebrated without
further delay.—New York News.
Where His Memorj- Failed.
They picked him up at tho bottom of
the stairs, and although a hasty examination showed that no bones were broken
he was painfully bruised and partially unconscious. At last he drew a long breath
and asked to bo taken homo. Then somebody Inquired how it had happened. B'e
smiled sadly and said:
"I went up to see tho editor,"
"Yfts.   And he was in?"
"He was. I placed a sheet of paper bo-
fore him and requested him to read what I
had written upon it. He wanted to know
What it was."
"And did you tell him?"
"I said ii was a poem on the beautiful
snow."
"And what happened then?"
"Idon't remombor, but I guess he did.

Gilt China.
It is possible that our grandmothers w
derstcod how to preserve the gilt on the-
pretty china which they havo handed down
In such excellent oonditioh -to their descendants.    Soap has a disastrous effect
upon tho gold' as well as the'colors in flns
china.   Dishes should not ho washed in
soap If they aro not greasy, and a little
greaso con easily ho removed with small
crusts of bread or soft paper.   Tho ooutact
with metal Is dangorons for china, and ifc
should bo drained in a wooden or paper-*
bowl or a soft pieco of Turkish toweling
can bo placed in tho drainer beforo the
china is put in.
To Wash Sill* Underwear.
Great oaro should bo taken when wash,
ing silk underwear. Soap never should bo
rubbed directly upon the gannont. Strong
soap suds made of warm water aud white
soap will ho found best. Squeezo tho gar
monfe in this water, and then, if tho garment is very much soiled, pass it through
another warm suds and then rinse in very
lukewanU water. Press between tho
hands to get ou« tho water. Shake Well
and pull into shape, and when tho garment is nearly dry press it on tho wrong
side with a moderately hot iron.—Brooklyn Eagle.
