-row— Fi etl< rlcli’s Joke. Coaepicaous among the few men of hi< time who ever got the better of Frederick the Great in a jesting encounter, was an Abbot of the Catholic Jtonastry of Camenz. who succeeded in that high office the worthy Abbot Tobias, an old favorite and friend of the Protestant Hero whom, upon a memorable occasion, he had saved from capture by the party of foraging Croat horsemen. The King disliked the new Abbot as heartily as he liked ths. old one ; but having been hospitably entertained by him during the last visit he ever paid to Camenz, he deemed it fitting to recognize his host's attention by some special mark of Royal grace, and, calling the Abbot to his carriage window, as he was about to dirve away from the monastry gates, said to him. “Ask me a favor.’' “Sire,” observed the Abbot, “our second bass choir singer is recently dead. Doubtless your Majesty can dispose of many choirist; in Beilin. Will my All-might-iest, Ail-Serenest Monarch deign to begift us with a second bass?” “I'll send you one from Neustadt on the Dossc. It flashed across the Abbott mind ihat Frederick had some short time previously, set up an establishment for improving the breed of asses in the to»ii mentioned by him : and foreseeing what sort of bass singer the King’s peculiar humor would prompt him to forward to Camenz. wherewith to recruit his choir, he promptly rejoined : “Most Dread Sovereign, in token

of our gratitude for your gracious bounty, and in accordance with the custom of our Order, we shall bestow upon our new second bass the name of his exalted donor. Ils will be known in our choir as Fredericas Secundus ! ’’ The King made no attempt to return this dextrous home thrust, but drove off in silence, which he maintained for nearly an hour; when, turning to his aid-de-camp, he dryly observed : “That is what one gets by joking with fools!' But he never again alluded to an episode in which he felt that he had been thoroughly worsted.— London Tel*egrap '. George Elliot's Romola. A timely interest is given, by the death of the author, to the new edition of her masterpiece. "Romola, just issued by the American Bock Exchange, New York. It shows her work its best and strongest, and at the same time gives the reader the opportunity to acquire a lasting familiarity with the acenes and society of mediteval Italy. It is one of the few really great historical novels of the world. It is issued in handy and beautiful form, extra binding, simple but rare elegance and taste in design, and like the other issues of the “Literary Revolution” its cost is almost nominal, viz. 35 cents. It is one rs a series intended to form a library of clasic fiction, which will iuclude one representative and characteristic w;:k of each of the great au thors who have won lasting fame in the realm of fiction. Life is too short and too full of work to permit the reading of all that is beautiful and valuable in

these creations of the imagination, but even very busy people can find time to read one book by each of the score of authors who have won immortal fame and place in the affections of the people. Not to be acquainted with them is to be ignorant of much that is most important and most interesting tn the history of nations and men. Not to possess th? u is to be'deprived of most fruitful and profitable sources of enjoyment. Among those issued or nearly ■ ready are. Scott's “ivanhoe, Bulwer s “Pompeii. Irving's '‘Knickerbocker,'' ! Cooper's “Mohicans,” “Tomi Brown at I Rugby, ’’ -Adventures of Don Quixto” | and “I’rda,' a Romance of Ancient Egypt.” Fall eatalngueof standard pub- 1 lieajions will be sent on request by the American Book Exchange, Tribune Building, New York. — — TS»e People’s Money Wanted. [New York Sun.] < Mr. Hayes recommends an appropria- ‘, tion of twenty-five thousand dollars, to begin with, as a fund for attaining perfection in civil service. This money is to go as a fund towards a beginning to find out the way how to do it. A commission is io be appointed. The President is to appoint the com*

mission. The commission is to be non partisian. Is it to be a non-partisian President to appoint this non partisian commission ? Is it to be R. B. Hayes, no President at all, or James A. Garfield, a parti- i san among partisans. Kossuth said : “I thank you for that expressive word Humbug.” The blood cannot properly perform its functions when loaded with impur-

ities, because it is thick and sluggish; and every person needs at times some- ’ thing to cleanse and quicken the vital current. Dr. J. C. Ayer's Compound 0 Extract of Sarsaparilla meets this want t perfectly, and his discovery of this;' compound ranks as important in pre-i ; serving the blood is a healthy condition I as does that of Wm. Harvey in demon-; strung its circulatory action. Noth-; ing el ■> vitalizes, parities and enrich- j es the blood as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. It is a perfect blood and nerve food. It never distuibs the stomach, but ft4cly atitsts and pr ouiotes tho digea-

lien and assimilation of all nutriments, and increase their power to sustain and i nourish the body. In renovating the ■ blood it clears and quickens the ir> r.elicet, and thusgivesto both mind and body the power of long sustained, arduous and successful effort. Corning. W.
