Matrimonially Successful.
There is now living in Morrill
tou, Conway county, this State,
a woman who has been married
fourteen times. She is now sixty
five years old, and, matrimo
nially speaking, she has been
remarkably successful. Her
i'Hirieeuth husband is now living
!mt it is'not known how soon he
m iy drop off, and, considering
the epidemic that has raged
/tinong his predecessors, his po
nition is one of extreme danger.
In the hall of the house where
the lady now lives there are
thirteen pegs driven in the wall,
on which hang thirteen hats
labeled John, Tom, Abe, Bill,
and so on. The lady is well con
nected; in fact, she has been ex
tensively connected, She has a
great many relatives living in
Conway county, and some of
them are the leading meu of
that section,—[Little Rock Ga

DOT ISH SO.
An attorney of Boston a few
mornings since, meeting a Ger
man friend who is not exactly
"op" in the ..mostügapproved
"Kings' English," asked him if
he heard the news from Maine.
"No, vas is dot ?"
"They say that Maine has
gone Democratic now the vote
is counted, and the Republicans
say that the Greenbackers and
Dsmocrats stole the State the
way they stole Louisiana."
"Ish dot so ?"
"Yes, that is what they say,"
"Yell," said the German gen
tleman, "dot gheckeos comes
home to stay all night, eh !"
Cleveb Recovery —Just over a
year ago two fifty-pound Bank
of England notes were taken
from the dining-room of a Mr
Terrett, a tradesman of Bristol.
A servant was charged with
stealing them, and the charge
was dismissed; but, on Mrs.
Terrett searching the ashea of a
fire-grate, there were found par
ticles of tinder which, when sub
mitted to ajnicroecope, were as
certained to contain numbers
and trace of the water-wark of
the notes. The ashes were sent
to London, and there subjected
to further examination* with the
result that the bank has at
length refunded the money.
The Cyrenaicjgold coin, which
; is likely to be taken by the Brit
ish Museum, was brought to
Capt. Gorringe, United States
Navy, by the Arab who found it,
and who said he could not pass
it. The Captain handed him a
piece of 20 francs for it, and the
man expressed his astonishment
and gratitude by many protesta
tions of thanks, and by kissing
his hand. The intrinsic value of
this stater is about $5; but, for
its extreme rarity and fine con
dition, it is expected to bring
$1000.

Near a blast furnace at Ca
rondelet, Mo., is a reservoir into
which the exhausted steam and
waste water from the boiler are
sent from underground pipes. A
tramp fell into this terrible hot
place and was boiled to death so
quickly that he did not stir or
utter a cry.

MKS. BLANK 'S PIU'S-HEA!>
Last Monday a lady of Zion
commenced thinkiug on family
economics, and the more she
thought tb<* more evident it be
came that her girl, who'had hith
erto done the marketing, was
extravagant, grossly extravagant.
There wasAiO reason in the world
why a few cents should not be
saved each day, and in a few
years when dark clouds of disas
ter hovered above the horizon,
or Words to that effect, a nice lit
tle suftf would ba^savel for her
and her Johnny to live upon.
There was a firm determination
in her eye when she announced
her purpose to hereafter look
after the purchasing of provis
ions. She stalked dowu the
street like a woman with a fixid
itv of purpose, and shot into a
popular meat shop with the in
quiry: "Mr. Nannal, what do
you sell your pigs' heads at?"
"Ten cents, Mrs. Blauk."
"Well, send me one."
"Do you wish a large or small
one?"
"A big one, of course—the big
gest you have," she replied, de
termined not to be cheated.
That night when the husband
went home he was dumbfounded.
Head cheese was everywhere.
No chair c^uld be used for its
proper purpose—head cheese on
it; refrigerator, tables, piano, bar
rels, all had head cheese on them.
The wife had a triumphant air
ing spell, and then explained:
"Bargain of mine, Johnny.
Bought a splendid head for ten
cent from Mr. Nannal. Didn't
pay, either; told him to send in
the bill at once."
On the following day the bill
came. The husband's eyes were
like saucers as he showed his
consort.the paper.
"Bless me!" she exclaimed.
"What an old fraud he is, and I
just won't stand it, now! 1 made
a special bargain with him for
ten cents, and he has the impu
dence to sand in his bill for $9 oO.
I'll go and see him right away
and give him my opinion, now
you see if I don't!"
A few minutes later she was
face to face with the butcher.
"Didn't I make a special bar
gain with you yesterday for that
pig's bead?"
I don't know,\I am snre; but
if you say so, I admit it."
Well, I do; I bought it for ten
cents."
'Yes, that's right; that's'what
we sell them at. You wanted
the biggest one, and I sent one
from a 1,000 pound porker, which
weighed ninety-five pounds, and
at ten cents ajpound—"
Oh, bother the pounds! I
said nothing about pounds!"
"Did you expect to get ninety
five pounds of pork for ten cents!'
Don't say anything of this to
my husband. Let him pay the
rest."
"I won't," replied the butcher,
"but there is a Tribune fellow
coming here often for items, and
I'll tell him."
"If you do, I'll kill you and
him, too, the wretch!"—[Salt
Lake Tribune.
Remarks a writer: "A gentle
band can lead an elephant by a
hair." How, what foolishness
that is to put into the minds of
children. Why, ble>8 you, ele
phants don't have hair, they just
have hides, that's all. Perhaps
a gentlejband might lead him by
the tail, but mind you, we have
our doubts even of that.— [Rock

reason that so small a portion of
