A, Western man started out with u subsciiption paper to raise a small fund to sink an experi mental shaft in prospecting1 for coal, and in his rounds he met the town hog, who came to the place without a dollar, and had made a comfortable fortune, speculating on the ignorance, credulity or mis fortune of the inhabitants, ol the financial embarrassments of the municipality, and when asked to contiibute So cents to the 1.) fund, said he had no money to invest in "such speculations.' lie met the small souled chap, who refused to contiibute because somebody else did not. lie met the lordly chap, who gave lo cents, as he said, without any expectation of ever seeing it . agaiu, but as an act of charity, and to get rid of the solicitor. lie met the avaricious gentle man, who would not subscribe unless the experimental shaft was sunk on his land, and with ihe proviso that no other person be permitted to dig for the coal in five miles of him. lie met the low-spirited citizen, who told him he was a fool for trying to do an'thing "in this town." He met the fractious bull-head who was going to "buck again" the project on general principles. He met the large-minded man who was satisfied the experimental boring would cost "thousands of dollars," and was unwilling to contribute to an insufficient fund. He met the little great man, who had not been approached in the proper manner and by the proper party, and so would give nothing. He would rather the community at. large would suffer and enterprise fail than to give anything unless there was some fuss made over him. He met the man who wanted it 4 (announced in the paper if he gave 50 cents, and the brass band brought out if he condescended to bestow his patronage on the matter. lie met several public-spirited, liberal-minded citizens, who will ingly and gladly contributed to the enterprise, the desired fund was raised, the experiment shaft was sunk, coal was found, and now the former one horse town has scores of successful coal shafts in operation, two railroads, five times the population it had before coal was discovered, fine schools and churches and all of its people are prosperous and have pi ent'. Reporter. An Essay on the Vest The vest is a useless article of apparel worn by man. It is an incumbrance handed down from past generations and perpetuated only through pure stupidit'. In old times it was termed a "waist coat." It was then a veritable coat, intended for the protection of the body. The regular coat over it protected only the back and arms, being cut entirely away from the breast. The vest of to day is a rudimentary garment, it is simply a vestagc of a former fashion. In summer it would be gladly dispensed with did people dare to do so. It adds another thickness for the retention of ani mal heat. In winter an additional thickness of coat would serve the purpose of the vest. The vest as to use is simply a needless coat without arms. It is principally useful to tailors, enabling them to charge for a needless piece of cloth. A vest always survives other garments. A man will wear out three coats and four pairs of trousers to one vest Such is the force of custom that no man would dare buy a suit of clothes without the vest, though cut and worn in such a manner that the vest is in visible perpetually. As for vest pockets they are a nuisance. They become sink holes for old matches and notes thrust in a hurry, which one's wife finds because she knows where to look for them. When robbers rob a man they show their contempt for the vest by not firing if Tfey will deprive a man of his trousers and his coat. They leave the ve.t. Of what use is a man ciad only in a vest? Tin vest is only a cause and al most an excuse for a poor-fitting garment. Any man looks belter in a buttoned-up coat a la miii tarie. But a vest perpetuates the fioek, double-breasted coat (though why called double-bieasted none c;in clearly tell), and the fit of such a coat never lasts over two months, since it depends almost, entirely on the tailor's stiffening7 and smoothing iron, Thce are stern facts. A bas the vest! Let us form a society for the abolition of the vest. The vest is useless even in charity. Who would give a beggar a vest? Tt would be mockery. Graphic. The Two Editors There is a llaytian proverb, says Judge Tourgee, that 1 have some times thought might well apply to news gatherers. 1 1 is rather a harsh one; almost coarse. It hays: "If you send the buzzard to market', 3ou will have carrion for dinner." 1 am afraid we have become in the habit sometimes of sending the buzzard to market. I remember many yeais ago my first associa tion with the public press. A man situated at the head of the news paper with which I was connected, a man eminent in his community, a man of high standing in his church, of immaculate private re lations, lie had this one maxim which he gave to his reporters, which he pressed upon them: "Miss anything which happens in the city except a bit of local -scandal. That I want. You may leave everything else out if you give me that. That makes my circulation." I have a thousand times put beside him a great rough-worded and rough-hewn printer boy who rose to be an editor, with whom 1 was once associated. He always said: "Never put a world of dirt in my columns. If ou must tell," he would say with an oath, "it you must tell a mean fact, tell it just as briefly as you can. Don't let me have any of the dirt. Because," he said, "I don't mean to be respon sible for corrupting any girl's heart before she puts on long dresses." It was rudely stated. He was a rude man. But 1 have a thousand times thought that when the meed of honor should come to be par celed out in that upper and better land, tho man that spoke his no tions Vith an oath would stand better than the man of whom the community thonght so highly. A Jury of Eleven Men. During a trial of a c:ise last week the counsel who was ad dressing the jury found to his sur prise that he was addressing but eleven men. He called the atten tion of the court to the matter and an investigation was instituted. Where the twelfth man was seemed to be an extremely in teresting and absorbing ques tion. The inquiry led to the fact that the aforesaid jury was cotnposcd of only eleven men, one having been excused; but when the jury took their places a grand juror hap pened in, it being recess time with his jury, and seeing an empty chair took it, was sworn to "well and truly try the case," and pro ceeded to do so for half a day, when he, like the Arab, quietly stole away and rejoined his origi nal jury in the grand jury room. Somerset, Me., JReporter. A Novel Sight. One of the most novel sights, seldom if ever witnessed in any other country except California, can be seen on Dr. Glenn's Colusa county ranch. It is said that men are engaged in thrashing and sow ing grain in the same field, while a large volunteer crop is already up two or three inches high and grow ing nicely. JEere is this year's crop of wheat beinjf put into sacks, ready for shipment to tbe Euro pean markets; $t .vear's crow. and erowinr" for thisT.fcaadfltfW'Ei oeing cuiuae'iaj;.sBiwarcr;iiH-; lowing fo tipdtycjBl"cfa ."V : V'-.ir4-.iv3r- "Weather Signs. The Mgnal service bureau has resolved to enlarge its data for' foretelling storm, and has ordered or icqucsted its officials and scien- tides, or well informed men, to gather all the popular pioverbs in exigence among all classes of peo- pie, including Indians, coloiedi people, and foreigners. Provcxbs, relating to the sun, moon, stars, rainbows, fogs, dew, clouds, frost, snow, rain at different times of' the dav thunder and -lightning j in different parts of the year winds at diffeient times of day and from different points of the compass. They are also asked to collect predictions from the actions of animal;, including bats, oxen, cats, dogs, horses, mice, wolves, hares, moles, pigs, rats, blackbirds and almost all kinds of birds, various fish, ants, bees, beetles, crickets, flies, spiders, frogs, gnats, wasps, bees; from trees and plants, chickweed, clover, dandelions, ferns, onions, pears, ap ples, thistles, walnuts, leaves, anil also from chairs,tablcs cracked be fore rain, etc., coais burning bright ly, corns, ditches, doors, dust, lamps, rheumatism, salt, seed, sign boards, smoke, soup, sound, strings, toothache, walls. To these are added proverbs relating to the days of the week, the months, the seasons, the weather throughout the year, etc. There are many people who have great faith in weather lore, and a collection of it tested by the scientific observa tions of the bureau will be both entertaining and instructive. A Disastrous Subsidy. The little town of Emdcn, Me., is in a sad financial plight. It numbers less than S00 people, most of them poor farmers, and, as the place contains no manufactory, the total value is not much over 200,000. In a sudden burst of enthusiastic belief that a railroad would bring new life and pros perity to its doors, the town voted that enterprise nearly one-fifth of its valuation. The road was not brought to Emden, however, and does not even touch its limits at any point, and the town not only has not increased in its population or business, but has a debt which it is well nigh impossible to pay. The bonds issued have been default ed, and most of the residents are said to be in favor of repudiating them. Geological examination of the delta of the Mississippi now shows that for a distance of about 300 miles there are buried forests of large trees, one over the other with interspaces of sand. Ten distinct foiest growths of this description have been observed, which it is be lieved must have succeeded each other. Of these trees, known as bald cypress, some have been found over twenty-five feet in di ameter, and one contained 3,700 rings; in some instances, too, huge trees have grown over the stumps of others equally large. From these facts, geologists have as sumed the antiquity of each forest growth at least 10,000 years or 100,000 for all. Conductor W. S. Rathburn, of the Lake Shore Railroad, residing in Detroit, Mich., was cured by St. Jacobs Oil of a very severe case of rheumatism. He was delighted with its prompt action and influ ence.
