The editor replied as follows: If only one ox, a good way would be to hoist him by means of a long chain attached to his tail to the top of a pole 40 feet from the ground. Then heist him by a rope tied to his horns to aaother pole. Then deaoeu d to his back a five-ten pile driver, and If that don't break him let him start a country newspaper and try to please everybody, and trust people for sub- scriptlon. One of the two ways will do it sure. HE had just entered the editorial sanctum way down from Pokumvllle.

Although tbe notice was short a large number of her old friends and neighbors were present at tbe funeral to look for tbe last time upon that face, once so well known to our people. Many tearful eyes told tbe esteem in which she was held by her old friends. J.

The family were among the early settlers on this prairie and are well remembered by all our old cit­ izens. *m* THE thlrJ edition of the Arabian Nights, now running at the Chicago Opera House proves to be better, from a literary poiat of view, then the two which have preceded it.
