Flanigan i well known all over the state as "Fire Alarm Flanigan," tbe Jasper county statesman who kicked about the amount of salt used at the state asy lum. He says this indictment is the work of spite on the part of Hon. T. B. Haughawout, a republican lawyer of this countv, aud there is likely to be a regular row before the case is settled.

There is just a faint possibility that babies may supersede as fashionable peU the pampered lap-dog. The duchess of Portland has taken an odd and, per haps, unaccountable fancy to be very proud of her baby daughter and to avail herself of every opportunity of having the little woman with her.

In all this time it is said that it has never contained a vulgar or immoral illusion by pen or pencil; it has been a pure and respectable sheet, rt has reflected the signs of the times. It has been patriotic in its spirit. It has encouraged the artists who have the power to put humor into caricature. A writer in the Contemporary Review points out that every person who had genius as a comic artist has drifted into the company of Punch artists and writers during the last fifty years. HUMOROUS.

People Tlile Youde Girl Who Ha4 Xer Sen the Star. A girl, some sixteen vears of aire, had all her life been the Tictim of a blemiaa in her eye that hindered perfect vision. At length a surgical operation was agTeed upon and successfully made. ine girl was kept within the house till her eves gathered full strength, and was permitted gradually and sparingly to go out of doors. It so happened that some time elapsed after her recovery before she went into the opeu air after nightfall. One evening she rushed into the parlor with her faee aglow with ex citement. The joy of a creat discovery illumined everv feature. "Jh, come!" she-explained; "come out quickly to the lawn and see what beautiful things have appeared in the sky:" Her friends hastilv - followed her out of doors, wondering what might have occurred. Thev saw nothine. "What do you mean'.'' thev asked her. "Look"' she said, pointinr eajrerlv Heavenward, "don't you see those bright things up there? There they are and there sparkling all over the sky:" "My dear child," said one who loved her, "those are the stars." Yes, the stars, which she had not seen before. Friends could hardly realize the fact that for all the years of her life the dear child had been moving through God's world with a limited vision, see ing only what lay close around her, utterly oblivious that there were stars. hosts of stars, all over the sky, and all so very leautifut: How strange it all seemed! Yet how mativ there are who go through life with imperfect vision of the best things that lie along their path way, rhe best of love, truth, sympathy and goodness is unknown to them, just because they will not open their eyes to behold. Let none imagine he per ceives or understands all of divinity or of divine truth iu tbe world till his eyes have been opened by the truth that points to and makes plain the highest in knowledge and happiness.

"Ma's up-stairs changing her dress," said the freckle-faced little trirl. tvinir her doll's bonnet strings and casting her eye about for a tidy large enough to serve as a shawl for that double-pointed young person. "Oh, your mother needn't dress up for me, replied the female agent of the missionary society, taking a self-satis- fled view of herself in the mirror. "Run up anu ten ner to come down just as she is, in her every-day clothes and not to stand on ceremony." "Oh, but she hasn't got on her every day clothes Ma was all dressed up in her new brown silk dress, 'cause she expected Miss Dimmond to-day. Mis- Dimmond always comes over here tc show off her nice things, and ma doesn'4 . . . .... mean to get leit. when ma saw you coming she said the Dickens!' and I guess she was inad about something. Ma said if you saw her new dress she'd have to hear all about the poor heathen. who don't have silk, and you'd ask her for money to buy hymn books to send 'em. Say, do the nigger ladies use hymn book leaves to do their hair upon to make it frizzy? Ma says she guesses that's all the good the books do 'em. if they ever get any books. I wish my doll was a heathen. "Why, you wicked little girt, what do you want of a heathen doll?" inquired the missionary lady, making mental in ventory of the new things in the parlor to get material for a homily on worldly extravagance. "So folks would send her lots of nice things to wear, and feel sorry to have her going about naked. Then she'd have hair to frizz, and I want a doll with black hair and eyes that roll up like Deacon Sliderback's when he says amen o j Sunday. 1 ain t a wicked girl neither 'cause Uncle Dick vou know Uncle Dick, he's been out west and swears awful and smokes all the bouse he says I'm a holy terror and he hopes I'll be an angel pretty soon. Ma'll be down in a minute, so you needn't take yonr coat off. She said she'd box my ears if I asked you to. Ma's putting on that old dress she had last year, 'cause she said she didn't want you to think she was able to give much this time and she needed a new muff worse than the queen of the cannon ball islands needs religion. Uncle Dick says you oughter go to the islands, 'cause you'd be safer there, and the natlves'd be sorry they were such sinners if anybody would send you to 'em. He says he never seen a heather hungry enough to eat you, 'les 'twas a blind one, an' you'd set a blind pagan's teeth on edge so he'd never hanker after any more mission ary. Uncle Dick's awful funny and makes pa and ma die laughing some times. "That's a pretty cloak you've got, ain't it? Do you buy all your good clothes with missionary money? Ma says you do." Just then the freckled-face little girl's ma came into the parlor and kissed the missionary lady on the cheek and said she was delighted to see her, and they proceeded to have a real sociable chat. The little girts ma can't understand why a person who professes to be so charitable as the missionary lady does should go right over to Mrs. Dimmond' and say such ill-natured things as she did, and she thinks the missionary is a double-faced gossip.
