There Is no important news here worth writ ing about, so I must tl ml something else. I heard some complaint alHiut our poor (paupers) In this county and that our i county court spends too much money out of our county funds to maintain such poor. Iilo not know whether it Is true or not. Would it not be a good plan to have a poor farm in this county, say a piece of hind of forty acres? After it is cleared olf lo be good for cultivation, what a good thing It would be. They could raise all their vegetables, small fruit, and plant out an orchard and in time they could raise all they need and sell some besides. There are some poor men who can do some work but can not do a days work for others. Now I do not mean that the county shall buy a forty acre trad Is there not a philanthropist in this county who la willing to give such piece of laud? For my part I would be glad to give twenty acres of my homestead for that purpose, but it Is not suitable. Hut I ill give one dollar in cash where are our ex-ofllcers of this county? can't they give a few dollars ofiheir hard earned money for that purHsef Let us hear what you have to sav to this. If you have no land suitable for this subscribe a few dollars. It don't cost so many million dollars to buy a forty acre tract ot land. Send in your name to the KsTHRrHisa all who are willing to give a few dollars towards It. Now, Mr. Editor, if you do not agree with me all right, I will say no more. I know there are always two sides to a question. Yours respectfully, Jons C. Srim i pt. GREAT REDUCTION IN CLOTHIM 0 M DRY GOODS Borings Budget. IIokikos, March . Ycrv slorniy yester day.

"We may compare it to an invisible and si lent river, flowing by without betray ing its presence, save where there is a splash of a fish or of a falling stone, or some foaming eddy where a rock breaks the smooth surface." Dr. Robinson's article is long and in teresting. The conclusions at which he arrives are as follows: Owing to the unceasing unconscious cerebration which is a necessary concomitant of onr power of intellect, the brain is always in part awake, and is especially active in shifting memorized matter. The cerebral centers connected with the sense organs are continually and inde pendently employed in stimulating im pressions from without. Certain of the senses, especially that of bearing, re main open to external influences daring sleep and convey actnal vibrations to the brain. There is an active and purely involuntary predisposition on the part of the mental apparatus to compare and collate all the messages which come, or seem to come, from without, through the sense channels, and to collate these again with what is brought to the con sciousness by involuntary recollection. Associated with this is a tendency to combine the evidence so collected into a coherent whole, and to make the re sult of either explain the more em phatic thoughts or impressions, or else answer some questions which occupied the attention before sleep began. V No voluntary power exiats during sleep to pick out from the jumble banded in that which is relevant to the problem to be solved, and just as there is no power to discriminate real from falne impregflions at the outset, so, through out a dream, we are completely obliv ious to the most glaring fallacies and inconsistencies. " Rochester Post-Ex press. A Man Bleeping In the Street. A well dressed man leaning against lamppost and apparently sleeping the sleep of tbe just created a great deal of interest in a busy London street the other day. He sat on a box which he had been carrying. Evidently, being suddenly overcome with drowsiness, he had placed the box on the curbstone, and sitting down upon it bad fallen asleep. To those who suc ceeded in getting close enough to the man his gentle, restful snore dispelled the fear that be might be dead. The 'side of his face was exposed and be trayed no sign of intoxication. It was the judgment of every one that he was sober, in good health and simply taking a quiet snooze. , When the crowd became so deep as to threaten a blockade, the supposed sleeper suddenly jumped to his feet, mounted nis dox, ana nourishing a couple of bot tles over his head exclaimed: "Now, gents, seein that yon are all here, I rise to a question of privilege, and after thankin you for this most cor dial reception, which I assure yon will long remain upon the tablets of my memory, I wish to call your attention to my world renowned corn and bunion radicator," Exchangw, 11 nil HY1 A11 Ail All A 1 i' Kojx CrcHceiit Mco Crescent Wedges (warranted.)
