It won't be long now before men who can't tell a rutabaga from an old tin pail will go out to the country fairs and begin their orations with “ Fellow farmers.” — Providence Journal, ‘A writer in the Woman's Journal goes on as follows: ‘‘ Who rejected and crucified the Saviour? Men! Who conducted the ten per- Secutions of the Christians? Men!” 0 bartered our Sunday clothes for a mess of Bo- hemian glassware? And who contributed our best plug hat to the heathen? And. who starched the nether expanse of our boiled shirt ? Did men do it—eh?—Rewey in Worcester Press. 3 Frienns of the legitimate drama and high art will be pleased to know that Buffalo Bill will shortly pass through this part of the State with a company made up of 27 revolvers, 1 woman, 2 Mormons, an assorted lot of Indians, a live bear, an actual mule, and a play involving more murders than ‘can be counted. Bill does not travel for money. All he cares for is to elevate the tastes of the people.— Xome Sentinel, Tue crop of “ tidies” is unusually large this year. ‘The ladies have made a great improve- ment in this article, and can now cover the back of a two-dollar-and-a-half chair with a wonderful maze of silk, satin, lace and embroi- dery, costing $15 or $20. Experienced and far-sighted married men are laying in a stock of camp stools, so as to have a chance to sit down this winter.—Boston Bulletin, Durinc the recent convention of Governors at New York, the Governor of North Carolina tose to make his usual remark, but observing that the Governor of Boston was present, he so far amended the original resolution as to say to the Governor of South Carolina that the leaden hours, on slow unfolding wings, had dragged their weary lengths in mock eternities nigh half way round the tiresome dial-plate, since last night they bent the pregnant hinges of the el- bow and touched with earthly nectar rare, from old Kentuck’s copper-bottomed hills, the parched lips, to cool with gurgling dewiness the dry and whistling throat.— Burlington Hawkeye. Rose EytincE, the popular actress, has per- sistently refused to have her photograph taken. The result is that she has her life made a burden to her by the persecutions of the photograph- gallery agents. The other day she let it be known that she proposed taking a swim at North Beach, at San Francisco, Cal. »When she left the hotel, an express-wagon, with a camera in it, followed her carriage. The next day she received a polite note, inclosing the proof of a negative taken as she emerged from the briny dip. The note pleasantly intimated that unless Miss Eytinge reported for a legi- timate sitting by noon next day 10,000 copies like the one furnished would immediately be struck off. She capitulated.—San Francisco News Letter. Wuat has become of the graduates. .Of twenty-three young men who only last month stepped across the threshold of life from an Eastern college, and went forth upon the track- less ocean of life to battle with relentless fate and win renown ora glorious death in the arena, eleven are clerking in auction stores at fourteen dollars a month, one is running a fish-boat, two are learning the house painting trade, one starved to death before he had been out of college a week, one is driving team on a street contract, two are tramps, and the others are living with widowed mothers, who are their only support. Fact is, brethren, when real life rapples its hooks into a man’s collar, it shakes all his arena and ocean and battle business out of him so quick that in six weeks, if he isalive, he knows more in a minute about the price of pork and flour than he can tell you about a Greek root in six months.—Paragrapher who didn't graduate, To supply the demand for the above-named illustration, depicting the ‘‘ Mormon’s Empty. Pillow,” and owing to the fact that tfie edition of “Puck” containing it has been entirely ex- hausted, the cartoon has been published as a single sheet, and can be obtained from any newsdealer in the country. “PUCK” PUBLISHING CO., 13 North William Street, KURT PORTRAITS Madison Square, NEw ToRrE Hichest Rewards: PARIS, VIENNA & NEW YORK.
