At this juncture, my companion ts led out to dance by, a military ntleman, and I moved my scat next 'to Miss Perryville. Miss Perryville's. dancing days, like, mine, wore over,1 so I knew that she was likely to be a 1 fixture. She greeted me with : . 'Why Doctor, I was astonished to see you talking to Mrs. Ready; people say such dreadful things about her.' ' Why, do they 'Yes; they her husband is dying of a broken heart, all caused by her iu famous behaviour. I am amazed at Mrs. General having bei here.' .VWelj.

I don't wonder; she's a fear ful woman, always abusing and sland ering people.' 'Put you're all doing that.' 'No, we arc not.' 'Yes; you all do it. I'm going home. Good-bye!' !; After this experience, I'm going to ho more parties; for J find the great staple of conversation at them is the foiblc3 and lollies of other people. Mr. Cooler's* Third. ? My neighbor ' Co?loy married hi* third!'wile' a short time tigo.'aijd the riffpff after he canic [Tome* with he? his oldest l>oy, the son of his fust wife, came into the room where sue was Fit ting alone sewing. Placing his elbows on the table he began to be sociable. The following conversation ensued : Boy?How long d'you expect you'll last ? Mrs. C.?What on earth do you ? mean ?: . Boy?Why ma> she held on for about ten years, and Emma, pa's Is'eco?dj stood it for three yeais. 1 i-eckon youVc good for as much as her. I. hope so, anyhow. I'm kinder sick of funerals. The}' made an awful futi when thoy stowed away inn, and a bigger howl when they planted Emfim. So I'd jes as leave you'd j keep round awhile. But pa, he has his doubts about it. ? Mrs. C.?Doubta! Tell me what you mean, this instant. ? Boy?Oh, nothin'! Only the day JjSnvnm got away pa came homo from "no funeral, and when lie ripped the crape ofl his hat he chucked it into the bureau drawer and said : "Lay there1 till I want you again;" so X 'pose the old mart must be ex pectin* you to step'out some time or other. In fact, I seen him conversm' with the undcrtnkcr yesterday; makin1 some kirider permanent contract with hi in, 11 reckon. The old man is always jcwtb'i people down. , .Mrs: 0.?You ought to be ashamed to talk of your father in that manner Boy?Oh he don*t mind it. I often hear the fellers jokin' him about his wives. lie likes it. He's a good ha lured man. Anybody can ?et along i with him if they underst and him. All you've got to do is to be sweet on him, and he'll be like a lamb. Now, Emma, she used to get mud and heave a plate, or a coal scuttle, or most anything at hint, and it used to irritate him. And ma, she'd blow him up about l?.U?O times a day; both of them would bang me till I got disgusted. And pndidn't like it. Treat mc well, give mo candy and money, and -you've got pa sure. Emma used to smack me; and when pa said he was opposed to it she'd go atJiim with an umbrella, or a fiat-iron and maul/him.- I on ess you and mo'II jog along dl right.together, and by the time pa gits, another wife I'll be big enough to don't care how many airs she puts on.

Said he (raising his voice in aloud key', and with ' clenched fist high in air), VI want to see the editor that wroic that article'." "Ybu do," answered the young man interrogated, "Yes, I do," answered the stranger, angrily.' "Itis satisfaction I come for and will have it, and before I leave here, too; do'jjt ?',' ^r.l' and understand that?"" '' ? ? ~ "All right," said tho. young man. "But/ before' 1 call him, I would like to ask you if you ever saw the gentle man before." "No of course not," was the savage answer; "Why do you wish to know?" "OK" nothing very particular. 1 thought if you did you would not care to soe him.'' "That's just, what I come for, young man; and there will be fun, you bet."

Besides, he al ways carries a si.v shooter, and is an excellent shut, scarcely . missing the bull's eye one timo out of twelve. Stranger ho is the counterpart of Samson, of old." , , During the young man's brief ruei tal of the personnel of the editor that wi ote the article, tho stranger turned very pale, trembled all over, hacking all the timo toward the door,out of which he suddenly darted, and bus not been heard ol since, doubtless, deeming it wiser to depart quietly than to encounter such a formidable opponent. Tin-: Diu'sskd Wkioiit or Axi MAils1.?Farmers who have but little experience in feeding annuals for the market, are often disappointed because their beef and pork does not weigh as nittt-h as they thought it would. They are likely to overlook certain points which ought always to be taken into account when estimating tlie dressed weight of animals. An old ahimal will not dress as xiueh in proportion to its looks as a young and growing one. ' A creature w inch is very fat will weigh a great deal more than one equally as large, but which has not been well fattened. An animal which has had twenty or thirty bushels of meal will dress much heavier than one which has been fed only about half its much meal. A crealuro which has been mealed for live or six months will weigh more than o ld which has had about the .same amount of meal, but has been led only about hilf a's long. In all eases, liberal and long con tinued feeding is essential to the at tainment of any great success in fat tening animals of any kind.?New I'Jiif/lanil Fanner. A Lusus Natuuk.?We are in formed by Mr. Sol. Cochran, tbo mail currier to Dunbarton, that on thc2?tb of June bist, colored twins wero born on tbo farm of Mr. Joseph ABhley, near that place, with a Hganicntnry| connection near the. stomach. One of tho twinshns neither eyes, nose, hands or feet, and the only orifice answering, for a mouth is a perpendicular sljt runuing .lcngthwi.se of the face. It seems to be perfectly dumb and to re ceive nourishment entirely from the other child, who is healthy and well formed. If the dumb child is touched the other feels it, and if asleep im mediately awakens. The perfectly formetl child, as ma}' be supposed, is a female, while the dumb animal belongs to the male persuasion. Quite an exciteme.it is created down in that region, and several enterprising Barniiins have already appeared upon the scene and made extravagant offers to the parents to allow their abnormal offspring to goon exhibition. This is truly a epieer world of ours, and Dame Nature is a strange mother. Here is a poor ignorant negro family who have struck a bonanza without leaving the "Ohl Cabin Home," while thousands wiil travel to the end of the earth in search of fortune ami return poorer than they went. . To cure bridIc-brcaUing, gcta jiiecc of 'bodcord, four times the length of thehorse and double it. in the middle, and at-the doubled end make a loop, through which puss the animal's tail.

The guessing mania has takon a new shape at Bridgeport, Connecticut, where a druggist placed a large globe of pills in his window und offered one hundred soda water tickfcts for the nenrost guess at their number. More than two thousand persons made the attempt, their guesses ranging from eighty-seven to seven thousand. The real number us two hundred and thirty-seven, which two persons guess ed'. ; The Apache Indians have arrived at a beautiful solution of the mother in-law problem.
