A young innn was telling somo ol liis acquaintances how ho had gono back on his girl liecatuo alio was sar castic, nml thojr aikol hitn to explain what jie inoant. Ho saiil that ho was pending ttio evening with her nml he noticed thnt ho teemed to bo absent minded or tired, or something. About '2 o'clock in the morning he paid alio started up suddenly In alarm and ex claimed: "My, what is that?'' Ho said ho dtdu't hear nny thing, and ask ed what it sounded like, and alio said sho thought maybe it was a milkman coming with tho milk. Ho said that was too sarcastic, nud ho would never go to seo her again. Well, probably ho couldn't suit her any better. Borne fellows overdo tho thing entirely when they go to sco a girl, and nothing will break them of tho habit of wearying out n girl likotomo sarcastic remark liko that. Sometimes the father of tho girl will co in o to the bead of tho stairs nud ask tho girl if tho morning paper has como, or if sho will tell her vintor to toll ttio hirod girl when bo gets ready to go. Tlioio things may look to a young man to bo sarcastic, hut his conduct warrants it. There is no girl who is well, and wants to keep bo, that wnnts to sit up all night witti an ordinary young man. bho has got to havo somo sleep or sho is not worth the powder to blow her up. Sho can get all the information that ho has to impart in six or seven hours, nud every hour ho stays niter that is u dead I cum". Soma young fellows never know enough to go. They speak of it being time to go lit 10 o'clock, nud the girl, to bo polito says: "Oh, don't hurry away. It Is early yet," and tho galoot thinks sho' mania it, nud ho goes into camp for n few hours more, and nil tho timo the girl in on nettles. Sho wishes tho hotho would take fire, or that ho would bo seized with n cramp, so sho would get out. She knows that sho will be tho laughing stock of tho whulo family, uud wishes ho was in (laliena, hut ho Hlay a though ho was sitting up withnoorpso. No girl wants to twin impolite, and no otio will yawn behind a handker chief, or hitch uneasily in her chair, and pray for rolicf, nud when tho stayer does finally go, sho will skip up stairs three at a time uud giro a sigh of relief. Wo understand that n petitiou has been sent to tho police, signed by about a hundred girls, 111k iug them to arrest any young man found on tho way homeaftcr l-o'clock nt night, unless he can give nu no couut of himself A girl ought to havo cheek enough to tell n young man, when ho has remained lung enough, that it is time to retire, nud if ho does not go, call n servant and have n mnttros spread on tho parlor floor, and co olf and leave tho delib erate young man to stay nil night if ho wants to. This is written nt the request of n number of young girls who havo become palo and hollow eyed from being kept up until early hours of tho morning by smart Alecks who will know enough to go home after this. Milwaukee Sun. Somo little timo ago Miss Frances rower Cobbe, who has so identified herself with tho causoof nnti vivisec tion, called on a distinguished man of science in Lombn tho other day to endeavor by persuasive speech and viva voce argument to gain him over to her cause. Tlirco points wcro ob servable in Miss Cobbe's outward pre sentment, namely, sho had an ostrich feather in her bonnet, a bird of par adise on or near her mud, and she car ried an ivory handled umbrella. Con sequently tho distinguished man ot kcienco replied as follows: "Madam, charity begins at home. When you have given up wearing ostrich fcath crs, which uro picked from tho living bird, causing tho most exquisite pain; and birds of paradise, which, in order to enhanco their beauty and luster, are skinned alive; when you have ab jured the ivory, because you know that tho tusks aro cut out of tho dying elephant's jaw then, and then only, como and upbraid mo with the cruel ty of my operations. Tho difleronce between us is, madam, that I inilict pain in the pursuit of knowledge and for tho ultimato benefit of my fellow creatures; you cause cruelty to bo lu flicted merely for your personal adorn ment." - m A story is told of Gen. .Tubal Early that in company with a brother officer ho had attended church ouca whero the theme of the preacher was tho Judgment Day, when tho earth and tea should givn up their dead. "What would you do General, if all theeo peo plo tho preacher spoko of should pop up around you?" asked his companion. It was during tho closiug days of the Confederacy, and, after a iiioniont'i silenro, Gen. Early, with characterise tin iimfnnltv. rcsiiouded: "I would conscript every mother's sou of thorn." Mr V (I.

Tho inecct properly called an "overflow bug" in California, is, scientifically, tho J'la tynus mncitlicotlit. Wo lived, says tho correspondent, in Fresno county two years. It is hot and dry there, ther mometer rnngiDg from 00 to 108 for about thrco months. In Juno and July, when hottest and driest, tho "ovci flow bug" filled tho air between sunset and dark. Ono could not with wifely open his mouth, They would light all over ono's clothes; thoy filled the bouse; thoy swarmed on the table; in tho milk, sugar, flour, bread, and overywhoro whero there was a crevice to get through. Thoy wcro flying for about two weeks, and then they disannoared mostly or did not II v much, but wcro hidden under papers, clothing, and in every nvailablo place They wero all through tho foot hills tho same, and much tho samo in Los Angeles, nlnut Norfolk, but thoy did not fly much in tho latter place. In Los Angeled they seemed to bo worse lieforo the "Santa Annas," n hot wind from tho desert filling the air with sand. Chickens, no matter how hun gry for insects, refused to cat these peits. Tho visitation of these insects formed a vcritablo plague. Talk at Home. Endeavor always to talk your lies t beforo your children. They hunger perpetually for new ideas. They learn with pleasure from tho lips of parents what they dream is drudgery to learn from books, and even if they havo to be deprived of many educa tional advantages, thoy will grow up intelligent if they enjoy in childhood tho privilege of listening daily to the conversation of intelligent people. Wo sometimes sco parents, who are the life of every company they enter, dull, silent, and uninteresting at home ninoug their children. If they havo not mental stores cnougli lor Doth, let them first use what they have for their ohii households. A silent homo is a dull place for young people, n place from which they will escape if they can. How much useful information, on tho other hand, is often givcu in pleasant conversation; and what un conscious, but excellent training is lively social argument! Cultivate to tho utmost tho graces of conversation. . It does not seem to us that the ofli cials of Kentucky are experiment ing to see how much the people of tho Commonwealth will stand, without breaking through the re straints of moral propriety, and damn ing tho wholo multitude. Wo do bopo that the recujierative energies of Kentucky may outlivo the criminal imliecility ot tho present dynasty, aud shutting their eyes on what the future has iu store for them, implore Diviue Mercy to protect the Commonwealth uutil its cud shall como. If the next is to bo a duplicate of tho present democratic Legislature we will take a republican one, and if the democracy can make no improvement in the se lection of a chief Executivo for the Commonwealth, we'll trust to Provi dence, and take Totnlluford aud John D.

Lovo is but tho establishment of his early life, or a song piped in the intervals of the acts. lie seeks for fame, for fortune, for space in the world's thought, and dominion over his fellow-mcu. But tho woman's wholo lifo is a history of tho affec tions. The heart is her world; it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is thcro her avarice seeks for hiddeii treasures. Sho sends forth her hid den treasures. Sho sends forth hor sympathies on adventure; she em barks her wholo soul in tho traffic of affection; ad if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless, tor it is t bankruptcy of the heart, Washington Irving.

Rochester Herald. A Cheek on Repudiation, In tho important opiuion of tho United States Supremo Court, deliv ered yesterday in tho caso of tho Southern Hank of Now Orleans against tho authorities of that city, Mr. Juslico Field characterizes the Louisiana "premium bond act" of 1870 as "tho most remarkable piece of legislation over presented to this Court for consideration." By that act tho Legislature, with unscrupulous audac ity and disregard of tho public faith, prohibited tho levying of a tax for the payment of tho New Orleans consoli dated bond of 1852, which had been regularly issued under tho authority of the Legislature, and of which thcro aro now about four million dollars outstanding: This legislation, which was upheld by the highest court ol Louisiana, is now very properly de clared by the Supremo Court at Wash ington to be repudiation of tho most opcu nnd flagrant kind Tho fact plainly and directly impairs tho obli gations of tho contract raado by au thority of tho Stato with tho holders of tho bonds, and thence is set aside as unconstitutional. New Orleans will now have to pay tho interest on tho bonds, and ultimately tho principal. This decision ought to ho a wholesome warning to evcy Legislature which may bo disposed to repudiato tho just obligations of the Stato and thereby forcibly rob those who have trusted to its honesty aud honor. Omental iNnimiiicNcn to Lifi:. It needs n very long timo and much bitter experience to teach tho Euro pean how lightly an Oriental slakes his life, how quietly ho pays forfeit when ho loses. Ho it n savage foe or a remorseless climato against which he plays, tho low casto Hindoo will wager death and torment for a few copper coins. I bad n bheestic in that war ' who was invalided from frostbite, and probably lost both bis feet, while all tho timo ho was carrying in his knap sack tho good English hoots and long, ' warm stockings I had given him. J These he meant to sell, putting them on only when sure to see mo; but lie, waited to secure a great price. And ho tramped barefoot, he tlept in cot ton clothes, wIich the thermometer' full below zero, until he sacrificed his limits, perhaps his lifo. Playing the same stakes agaiust a htimau enemy the Hindoo is still more reckless. Uclgravin. Why Hi: Wouldn't Hike Him self, A prominent ex Confederate officer, now residing in Washington, started out the other evening to find a man servant. Ho met a pretty good looking colored man and asked him if he could recommend n good servnnt. Tho colored man regretted that he could not. "What are you engaged at?" asked the ex-Confederate. "Why can't I employ yon?" "I am not do ing any thing jun now," was the reply; "but I expect to have a seat in Con gress in a few days. My name is Lynch, nnd I am contesting the seat of General Chalmers." Washington Star. . A lunatic at the asylum in Utica, New York, is a United States pen sioner, and tho largest ono iu tho Uni ted States.

By I the various acts of Congress he is cnti-1 tied to receivo the samo pay as if ho had lost both eyes, both arms or both, legs, insanity leaving him as helpless i as if ho were entirely crippled. It does not do him much good as bo is unawaro of his wealth or distinction. Tho new material known as leather ette is being brought into use in nu merous mechanical and ornamental applications. It is so perfect an im itation of leather that people are utter ly unawaro that they are handling something other than leather itself, and ita serviceable tiaturo renders the detection still more difficult. For all uses to which it has been applied, the articlo is said to havo proved nearly, ifnot quite, equal in seviceableness to natural leather. A young woman of Idaho answered au advertisement of a firm of marriago brokers, who booh afterward sent her a bill of 820.50 for advertising, threat ening, if she did not pay it, to publish the letter.

A twelve-year-old black boy, named Coleman, km brought beforo the United States Commissioner at Baltimore, Md., charged with robbing tho privato letter boxes in the city postoflice. The locks on theso boxes aro ot a kind supposed to bo proof against picking, nnd tho authorities could not beliovo tho littlo rascal's admission of guilt. So the marshal of police and tho assistant postmaster look tho lit tlo fellow to tho postofficc, whero ho gave them an exhibition of his skill in opening burglar-proof locks. Ho had a littlo strip of wrought iron which ho had hammered very thin, and, putting this in tho koybolo of a box and giving it ono or two slight taps with his finger, open flow tho box as if by magic. Box nfter box he opened in tho samo way. Among locksmiths of Baltimore tho case has excited, it is said, tho widest interest, and tho discovery that these locks can bo picked may lead to an cntiro change in them. Government experts aro already studying tho caso. Tho hoy Coleman was sent to jail by the commissioner to await tho nction of tho grand jury on his case. Now would appear to be ,a good timo for some inventorto bring out an unpickable lock suitablo for postoi fico use. Gifted Fools. There nre won derful idiots in the world besides "Blind Tom." Iu an idiot asylum in London thero is one man who can tell the time of day or night without watch or clock. Ask him at any time in the morning, or on waking him from a sound sleep: "Charles, what timo is it?" "Thirteen minutes aud a half past four," as the case might be. Physicians and learned men had made every attempt to explain the possession of this remarkable gift. Another has built a ship, full rigged throughout, a mail of war, with every rope and spar perfect. It is six or eight feet long, and ho worked on it for six years. He was n very fine-looking man; yet he is an idiot and his mother was one. ... When once you have determined to fatten au unimal for beef, let the process bo as quick as possible. Auy stint iu feeding at such times will tend to make tho meat tough and dry. Stall-fed animals will fatten moro readily than others, and young animals require richer food than older ones. In Winter fattening, do not forget that much .depends upon the warmth ot the stabl.). the warmer the cattle are kept the less food will be needed. Digitated Stockings. "Digita ted stockings," with separate apart ment for each toe, are the latest. You can put iu a half au hour fitting them on, same as a glove, aud the next thing will be to havo them but ton, sixteen buttons, of course, being the height of every girl's ambition. Boston Post.
