When Benjamin Franklin was a you e g printer be wrote the following epitaph on tiimself : Here lies the body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer, (Like tbe eovera of an old book, lti contents torn out, And strlpt of Us lettering and gliding.) Lies food for worms; Yet the work itself shall not be losi;, For it will Las he believed! appear oncj more, In anew And more beautiful edition. Corrected and amended by The Author. In the burial ground of Abbey Church at .mway, North Wales, the following memo lal has been erected to one Nicholas Hooker : Here lyetb the bodle of Nlcb. Hooker, who ,is the one and fortieth ohiltle of bis father aul mother, and the fatber of seven and thirty v one wife. He dyed March SOth, 1687. Hie ,U'l)U In the churchyard at Pewsey, Wiltshire, utf., Lady O'Looney's pedigree is given .fier this style: Here lies tbe body of Lady O'Looney. great 11 t'.ce of Hurke, commonly oalled the sublime. iihe whs bland, passionate and deeply relm " ms: also, she painted In water colors and sent w vernl pictures to the exhibition. She was 11 st cousin to Lady Jones, and of such Is the iCingdom of Heaven, Elihue Yale, the founder of Tale College, i buried at Wrexham, Wales, under a inmhstone bearing this inscription: Hi. i n In America, in Europe bred, 1 1 Afrlc traveled and In Asia wed, H'bere long he lived and thrived, In London, dead. 1 Much good, some ill, he did; to hope's all even, 'fiint bis soul through mercy ha gone to Heaveu. ' ' .11 that survive and read this tale, take care i-'i'T this most certain exit to prepare, blest in peace, the actions of the just o, wrat, and blossom in tbu silent dost. It. chard Lalor Bheil, the Irish orator and Hut. advocate with Daniel O'Conneli before I' n I lament, who died in 1851, has the fol lowing remarkable epitaph on hia monu ment at Waterford : Here lie L There's an end to my woes: And my spirit at length at ait Is, W iin the tip of my nose and the end or my toes, Turned up 'gainst the roots of the daisies. A Liverpool lady, who died, was thus kindly relinquished to the Lord by her lov ing husband: She once was mine. But now, Ob, Lord, I her to Thee resign. And remain your obedient, bumble servant, Kobxrt Kemp. It is said to be an actual fact that the fol inwiiisr is inscribed on a headstone at Ox ford, N. H. : To all my friends I bid adieu, A more sudden death you never knew : As I was leading tbe old mure to drink. She kicked and killed me qulcker'n wink. SUCCESSFUL? DINNERS. Congenial Guests m Necessary as Tempt ing Delicacies. A well-known caterer writes In tbe Ohi cago Tribune: I am frequently asked by fashionable people who are up in other things what is the first step necessary to a successful and satisfactory dinner. My answer Is, first and foremost, be careful In the selection of tbe guests. No matter If you prepare a feast worthy of a conquering hero, unless the spirits about the table are congenial it will be a failure. One ill-bred nan at a feast will spoil every thing. Of course every body can't talk well, and It is a good thing that this is so. A dinner com posed of magpies would not be such a one as you would want to go to more than once. But there should always be one good talker at least in a dinner party, and if he is the - , , -u louu an uo isn't a uuuipuuus fool and the others are good listeners, your dinner will not be a failure. I think Oliver Wendell Holmes must have been a Bplendid fellow at the table. And if I am informed correctly he is the man who said he bad ait admiration for the audaolty of the man who knew how to talk across the table. It is your common sense, unconventional man who is popular. You never want to be too conventional In any thing, and especially at the table. Too much stiffness is as bad as too muoh boorishness. Unless you are giv ing a banquet fourteen is about the proper number for a dinner, and for an afternoon tea there should never be more than eight women. If these general ideas which 1 have given you are carried out, the object of your dinner being social entertainment, you needn't bother yourself so much about the menu. The Colonel's Wrath. New York hotel clerk (to bell-boy) 'See what the rumpus is in 621." Bell uy (returning)- "ColoneJ Bluegrasals hiad because there's a pitcher of water in his room." Clerk "But that's not to drink. That's to wash in." Bell-boy "That's what I told him and he got mad der still. He wanted to know if they thought he was a heathen. He said he washed before be started way from borne." ITPIOGHE WEEKLY RECORD. VOL. XXXIX. SIXTY-DOLLAR STAMPS. Use.1 on Seoond-Cla.a Matter, and the Public Never dees Theuu 'How is the postage on second-class mat ipr paidi" is a question often asked at the Boston postroffice, says the Herald, of that tity. The rate of postage is 1 cent a pound, ut as observation teaches tiiat second class natter is not stamped, the query is natu ully raised as to how the postage on this lass of matter is treated. The public never -ops the stamps used for the payment of vvond-elass postage, except as a "curiosity in the collection of a philatelist. Unlike ali l her kinds of postage stamps, they never reach the public through the post-office. They are not so rare, however, among col loctors as to bring very high premiums. The smaller denominations are in good de mand, and are sold for sums considerably in advance of their face value, but the higher denominations can not be disposed of at par. His customary for a publisher whose journal or periodical is entered as second class matter to keep on deposit at the post office a sum sufficient to cover the immedi ate expense of mailing. If he mails 1,000 pounds of matter, he is given a receipt for that amount, and on the stub from which the receipt is torn is placed $10 in postage stamps. The form of stub and receipt book used is uniform throughout the country, and at the end of each quarter all the stubs are forwarded to Washington. The canceled stamps on the stubs represent the revenue received on second-class matter for the par ticular quarter which they cover. It is not required that a publisher shall keep a de posit at the post-office, but experience teaches that it is the wisest plan to follow. Newspaper and periodical postage stamps are the most numerous and run the highest in denomination of any species of postage stamps issued by the Government. The lowest denomination is one cent and the highest (60. The full list is as follown: 1,2,4,6,8,10, 13, 84, 36, 48, 60, Ti, 84 and 96 In cents; in dollars, $1.93, $3, 16, 19, $12, $34, $36, $48 and 60. Of this class ot stamps there was used at the Boston post-office for the last fiscal year $101,401.73, representing 10,140,173 pounds of second-class matter mailed. The prevailing colors of these stamps are B'nades of red and green the Post-Office Depart ment seems very partial to green varying according to denomination, and each bear ing in its center the figure of a beautiful and scantily-attired female. PIOCHE. NEV., SATURDAY MAY 24. 1890. ( Where Sardines Gome From. We are prone at times to boast pt our sardine-packing industry In this coun try, but it should be borne ir- mind, for the sake of accurate knowledge, that, as a matter of fact, we have no sardine packing industry in this country. We pack a great many boxes of a little fish which is a species of shrimp, and pour cotton-seed oil over it, and people buy and eat them under the delusion that they are eajrfng sardines dressed in olive oil. ' The only genuine sardines are taken on a few sections of the coast of Europe, and the French canners have nearly monopolized the market by es tablishing a reputation for the absolute genuineness of their fish and oil, and by their careful, thorough method of pack ing, which preserves the exquisite flavor, Good Housekeeping.
