JUNIOR BUCKEYE 
POOR OLD GRIMES 
At last we have au irrefragable testimony 
from Ogdenabnrg that old Grimes’ pulse has 
finally ceased to beat. 
A few mornings since, when the thermometer 
was nearly played out, a ragged little beggar 
stopped at the door of Judge J.’s and plaintively 
suggested victuals. As the benevolent lady of 
the house was emptying a few into his basket, 
she asked : 
“ What is your name, my soil ?” 
“ My name is Grimes.’’ 
“ Is your father living ?” 
“ Yes, mam,” 
“ I thought Old Grimes was dead long ago?” 
“ That was my grandpa.” 
And the youngster waddled off, thinking what 
a good soul the lady was.

It is true as gospel that the better looking a 
woman is the less trouble she will have to get 
her trunks past the Custom-house officers. 
A little fellow who wore striiied stockings 
was asked why he made barber-poles of his legs. 
His pert reply was, “Well, ain’t I a little 
shaver?” 
Prof. Bell boasts ol the discovery that when 
he clasped hands with another person and their 
hands came in contact a sound was produced. 
Pshaw ! this is nothing now. Every young man 
and woman knew that long ago. 
Caution often averts danger. An uptown 
man, who feared burglars in the house the other 
night, woke up his wife and sent her down stairs 
for a drink of water, and then crawled under the 
bed and wasn’t injured in tbe least. 
Tub Burlington Hawkcye now fears if Abdel 
Fheliui Khaboolsh Pasha moves from Rougtschab 
by way of Kitcheneffeuder toward Blakdr, the 
Russian auxilliary force under Prince Vldmran- 
tchikipoff’ at Wrmtpeehaki will be cut off and 
conciliated. 
A husband, finding a piece broken out of his 
plate, and another out of his saucer, petulantly 
exclaimed to his wife: “My dear, it seems to 
me that every thing belonging to you is broken.” 
“Well, yes,” responded the wife; “even you 
seem to be a little cracked.” 
The Danbury News man opened his lecture at 
Bridgeport by remarking that he had seen so 
much about it on the posters and in the papers, 
during the past week or two, that he had come to 
have a feverish desire to hear it himself, and 
was very glad he was present. 
There are two periods in every man's life when 
he feels, deep down in his heart, that if the earth 
was to open and swallow him up it would be a 
pleasure to him—one is when he steals up stairs 
with the old man’s razor to take liis first shave, 
and the other is the first Sunday in a high hat. 
The Burlington Ilawkeye relates that a dis¬ 
tressed night editor, when he saw the reports of 
a Turco-ltussian war, took down tbe map, 
glanced calmly over the field, saw what manner 
of names he would have to read proof of this 
summer, aud went out and shot himself dead in 
the neck, 
A dandy of tw T eutv-six having been termed ua 
“ old bachelor,” appealed to au elderly gentleman 
to decide whether he should be called old or not, 
giving his age as “ twenty-six.” Said the elderly 
gentleman, “It is owing to how you take it. 
Now, for a man it is young enough : but for a 
goose it is rather old.” 
The Superintendent of a Sunday school near 
Lewiston, was addressing the children on a recent 
occasion concerning the coming Christmas fes¬ 
tival and asked all who desired a Christmas tree 
to hold up their bauds. The display of hands 
seemed to be general, but a little four-year-older 
did uot raise his. On being asked why he did 
not, he replied in a melancholy toue, “ I don’t 
waut. any more mugs ; I got two last year.”
