WAS BLACK. •«n BY IVGENE /. HALU A worth’eßS wag was Philo Freer, A vagabond, acute and queer, ■ Who did uu little as be could To earn a scanty livlihood, , A laughing, luckless, lazy tout, Who bunted, fished, and loafed about, Or ran on errands for his bread— Who never had a cent ahead— A being of that curioua kind The traveler will always find Ou Coming to a country town, Before the tavern, sitting down. One day a showman passed that way, Whose name was Eppanetus Bray— An easy-going sort of man, ho traveled with a “caravan”— Exhibiting where’er be went ■ Beneath a du-ky canvas tent, A two-legged horse, three-legged hen, A woman with a wondrous wen, A Tartar girl with fourteen toes, That ba'anced b tties on her nose, A dwarf that dmced an Irish jig, A snake and educated pig, And other things as rare and strange, By which he shrewdly gained his change— Great things from little nothings grow. Like “ Bray’s Behemoth Moral Show.” One snltry day, Freer meeting Bray, Said to him, in a solemn way : “ I saw about a month ago A sp.endid subject for your show— A great attraction you’ll admit The moment I have told of it; A man whose face was one~half black, And I can put you on his track. And will, if you will promptly pay A double X tome to-day.” “ Agreed,” the anxious showman cried. “ Then follow me,” the rogue replied. The money paid. Through highways mean, By by-ways narrow and unclean— Freer led the way till Bray began To wonder where they’d find their man. At last Freer paused, and, with a leer, He said to Bray, “ Behold him here The showman gazed from where he stood, And saw a negro sawing wood. “You see,” said Freer, with accent keen, “ IMh halve# are black and you are green.”

“SHE WOULDN’T MARRY A FARMER.”

The old house at Stonecrest was the most ancient mansion in the county. Its walls of dark gray stone were almost entirely covered with ivy and climbing rose-vines. Year after year Mr. Thornfeld threatened tocut the creepers down, but he failed to do it, until the roses were over the second-story windows, find the ivy clear to the roof. Perhaps they were spared because Mrs. Thornfeld loved them. And indeed they did give an air of beauty to the square, gray old house, which no one could fail to notice, and which resembled the pictures of ivy-grown English homesteads very strongly. When Edith Thornfeld, the Squire’s pretty niece, came down from the city tor a long visit, she chose for her room the corner one in the second story, the coolest room in the house, wide, light and airy, where the windows were nearly covered with vines, and every breeze sifted a shower of rose-leaves across her floor. Pretty E lith, proud as pretty, was Mr. Thornteld’s niece. Her father was a rich business man in the city, who knew tar more about stocks, bonds and mortgages than he edd about his only daughter. Her mother died when Edith was a babe, but kind Aunt Rachel, Mrs. Thornfeld, of Stbnecrest, had supplied her place as far as she could, and much of the girl’s lady-like bearing had been acquired from her. Edith often came down for a a long visit, and the old bouse was the brighter while she remained. Joining Stonecrest was another fine estate, belonging, at present, to young Robert Briton. A tine, wholesouled speoisien of a country Squire was he, not without good mental cultivation and intelligence, and any girl might be proud of his favor. Even Edith admitted that he was a splendid-looking fellow and good company, and she knew very well, the sly witch ! that no one was fairer in R >bert Briton’s eyes than she ! But when they rallied her upon the devotion of her cavalier, she declared that nothing upon earth would induce her to marry a farmer and live in the country ,ior good. To do her the justice, she let Belton him elf see the fact, plain enough. That is if he would have seen it ! But he refused to take the evidence of her manner ; perhaps, laid it to the score of maiden modesty and liked her ail the better for it. “ Well, I’m sorry for the poor fellow —he is nice, and if it wasn’t the way it is, I might—possibly—say yes,” said Edith, when she saw at last that she could not keep him from speaking much longer. “I dare say he’ll soon get over it and forget all about me when he mar ries some plump country girl who can take care of his pigs and chickens for him. ” And Edith laughed a gay little laugh, and then felt as if somehow things ■were not fixed up quite right in this world, and she didn’t know just how to straighten ’em. She tried no longer to keep him from speaking, “Just as well have it over and done with,” she said. He did speak one- evening when she bad been over to visit his sister, and he walked home with her. A few words, but right to the point “ I wish you wouldn’t,” said Edith, more fluiried than she had ever been in her life. “I’m very sorry, but indeed, Mr. Belton, I can’t "“Do you mean you can’t like me?” said Robert, turning a little white, but trying to smile. “ Oh, Ido like you very much I But not—not in—” “ In the only way I wish to be liked. Is that il ?”

“I’m afraid it is, Mr. Belton.” He was silent a moment? Then he s rd. huskily : “If any amount of waiting would alter it, I could be patient, at least I’d try, if I might have a hope—” and here his voice failed. •‘lt wouldn’t be of the least use,” said Edith. “I’m sorry, but I’d have to say the same a year—ten years—from now.” “ Then there’s no use,” said Belton, trying to be as brave as he could. “ It’s pretty hard on me harder than I thought it would be. But if I can’t bear it, I can go away, and not trouble yon anv more." “I wish you wouldn’t talk so,” said Edith. “It isn’t very manly, is it?” said the poor fellow. “Well, I won’t. Forgive me, Miss Edith. And good-by—l don’t suppose I shall come to your uncle’s any more.” They were just at the gate now, and Edith gave him her hand, saying, “Oh, yes, of course; 1 know you' will come. We would all be very sorry if you didn’t. And I hope vou don’t blame me?” “Not in the least. There’s no one to blame but myself. I’ll come if I can. If I find I can’t, why, I can’t, that’s all. Good-by, Miss Edith. God bless you, my dear ” He raised the small hand to his lips, pulled his hat down over his eyes, and was gone. Edith ran straight upstairs to her room, and took a good hearty cry—and then scolded herself for crying. “But I did feel awful sorry for him,” she said. “Though I’m sure he’ll get over it. and be back in a day or two.” But Robert Belton did not come again in a week or two. Uncle Thornfeld ra lied Edith about sending him away, I and, though she declared she had not done so, they all understood very well how the case lay, Edith met Belton in her rides sometimes, saw him at church and other places. He always bowed and spoke I pleasantly, but that was all. He kept clear away rom her. It was plain he did not mean “ to trouble her again.” “ I never saw sucha fool,” said Edith, to herself. “He doesn’t give one the least chance to reconsider. If one wanted to, which I don’t, I’m sure. ” But some way it provoked her dread- I fully, every time she met him, and he I kept so distant. Now and then she stole a glance at him in church, when he was sitting quite still, and his pale, sad face I touched her heart, though she wouldn’t have owned it for anything. “I never, never did see such a simpleton ! If f were a man, I’d be one, I would |”

the very next night, when she was talking to little Lyons, at Mrs. Wishwell’s social, or rather, listening to him talk, she looked at his little, neat figure, and his little nice mustache, and his little white hands, and began to compare him with a big, strong, manly fellow likelike Rob Belton, for instance! and became so disgusted that she fairly ran away and left little Lyons terribly astonished and affronted at her rudeness. One day, at the dinner table, Uncle Thornfeld gave them the news that IVbert Belton was going to Australia. His sister felt dreadfully, he said, but Rob wouldn’t give it up. Uncle said also, that for his part he couldn’t see any sense in a likely young fellow, with plenty of good land, and everything ready to his hand, rushing off with such haste to a wild country like Australia. “Unless,” said he, “unless there’s a woman in the case. If there is, there’s no knowing what a man will do. And it’s my opinion she’ll have something to answer for.” This with a glance at Edith, who turned very red, and did not offer a single word. But she took to walking out often. If she did so in the nope of meeting Belton, she missed it. He was busy arranging his affairs indoors, and had no time for walking. One morning Edith, sitting at her window, saw him coming up the road, with his long, free stride straight to the gate. He opened it—he came inside — he came straight to the house, too! Edith drawn back so she could not be seen, heard him pass under her window, and waited to be called. Waited half an hour, and then heard him going away, and never once was called at all ! Her face was red, and her eyes flashed, but she was only pretty and sparkling when she went down to dinner.

“Belton called this morning,” said Uncle Thornfeld. “Did he?” observed Edith, indifferently. “ Yes. He goes away Monday. He wants me to .attend to a small business matter concerning some land, while he is gone.” “Well, you’ll do it, I suppose,” said aunty. “Oh, yes. He’ll call again to-morrow, to leave me some papers, and I’ll help the boy all I can. He’s a good fellow. And it strikes me he seems to be very unhappy. ” “That’s a pity, isn’t it?” remarked Miss Edith, coolly. “1 think it is. I don’t know a man who deserves better than Belton. I dare say he’ll get killed out there among the natives, and never get back any more.” Which philosophical observation on uncle’s part, Miss Edith did not answer at all, and nobody knew her thoughts. “To-morrow” was Saturday. Belton w’as going away Monday. If anybody meant to do anything for him, it must be done promptly, that was all, and no shirking! The next morning Edith took pains’ to sit at her window again. By and by she saw Belton coming. But he wouldn’t ask for her, not even to say good-by! It couldn’t hurt him to do that much, anyhow. He came in, turned at the corner of the house, and was passing on to the door, when a fresh voice above him said “ Good morning ! ” He looked up. Edith, as sweet and blooming as the roses which were all around her, was leaning out of the window toward him. But he couldn't know that she was thinking what a tine, noble, handsome face he was turning up to her. Instantly his hat was lifted. “Good morning, Miss Thornfeld. I hope you are well.” “Quite well, thanks. 1 hear you are going away, Mr. Belton.” “Yes. Igo Monday.” “ And without a good-by to your friends ? ” “I don’t suppose anyone cares much about saying good-by to me.” “ Perhaps not. You don’t deserve it, running off so wildly.” “ I dare say I don’t. Miss Thornfeld.” “Of course you don’t! However, some of them might have a word tv say to you.” • ‘ I’d be very glad to hear it, then, I know.” Well, I shall be down at the Three Oaks at 1 this afternoon. If you choose to come, I have something to say. If you don’t choose, go to Australia or any other place, for all I care, Rob Belton ! ” The pretty head disappeared in an instant, the window went down among the roses with a bang ! And Robert Belton walked into the house to see Mr. Thornfeld, feeling very queer ! At four that afternoon, a slim figure in buff cambric, with a white lawn hat on its pretty braids, tripped through the bit of meadow-woodland, down to the Three Oaks. A taller figure rose to meet her as she appeared. “Ah. You did come, then?” said EdiUjgp “ Certainly. Sit down Miss Thornfeld,” making room on the rustic seat for her.

Ehth sat down, and sat silent. Her usual flow of words seemed to have deserted her. “ Did youwish to tell me something?” said Belton, at last, very gently. “Yes—no—perhaps. Tell me something, Mr. Belton ! Why do yon rush off so, and make everybody miserable?” “ I must go. And I don’t know of any one who is miserable ?” “Not your sister ?” “ Well, yes. But there are times in a man’s life when even a sister, though a good, kind one, can’t quite satisfy him.” A little silence. Edith broke it, i desperately, “ Mr. Belton, would you go if I am sorry I once pained you. 1 am very sorry, indeed. ” “ You were kind enough to say so. I don’t blame you. And I believe vou. But, you see, it don’t cure—it don’t help much. I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but it’s quite true that pity won’t mend matters.” “My goodness, what would then?” cried Edith, losing all patience. “ Can’t yon see anything. Bob Belton? Don’t you know 1 don’t want you to go ?” Her face was red, her eyes full of tears, her mouth fluttering like a roseleaf, as she spoke. Belton was amazed. “Miss Edith! You don’t—do you?—What is it you mean ? Do you ask me to stay ?” “ Of course I do ! You might see that much !” “ What for, then ?” he asked, quickly. “ Oh, nothing ! You needn’t stay ! Go if you like, I don’t care ! I can live without you!” She sprung up to fly, but Belton just gathered her into his arms. “But I can’t live without you!” he cried. “ I’ll stay if you’ll come and live with me ! Say quick, Edith ! Yes or no?” “ Yes—no—l don’t care !” panted Edith, very red and embarrassed. But Belton gathered her meaning, and instead of being the miserable fellow he came there, was as happy as a King. So was Edith, though she wouldn’t have owned it for the world. She is happy yet, though she did marry a farmer, and lives in the country over half of each year. And that trip to Australia has , never been made, nor do I suppose it ever will be.— lndiana Farmer.

A Recoil.

“ Why will you make a fool of your- j self ?” said Fenderson to his eldest son. “All owing to my bringing up, dad,” replied the young scapegrace. “I believe you,” said Fenderson. “That’s just it. But, thank fortune, I had a father who knew something. He wasn’t such a ninm, as yours, voung man. ” And Fenderson went off with the air of one who had said something that j could not be refuted.— Boston Transcript.

DEATH BY FLOOD.

Forty-nine Lives Lost by the Overflow of the Concho River in Texas. ■ -VMany Residences and Business Houses Swept Away by the Torrent. [Telegram from Galveeton, Tex.] Foit Concho dispatches to the New#, in relation to the in inflation of Ban Fickliu, are heartrending. Forty deaths are reported from drowning. The only names so far ascertained are Mrs. Metcalf and daughter, George Robertson Scott and Dr. Owens, and one child. One Mexican was also among the victime. The other victims were twenty-one Mexicans at Kelly’s ranch and ten Mexicans at Beasly’s winch, also Joseph Mathews, wife and four sons and one woman and a baby, Ben Ficklin is all washed away except the lighthouses. The Court House and tail are a total loss, and are uninsured from lose y water. The people of San Angeles tried to render assistance, but the raging water prevented. It is still impossible to cross the North Concho. The country presents a spectacle which beegars description. Houses, horses, cattle an<f clothing are piled up in heaps at every step. The bodies of Mrs. Metcalf and daughter' are the only ones found. The telegraph wires are still down. [Telegram from Little Rock, Ark.] The Gazetie'g Texas specials furnish more particulars of the damage by heavy rains. The North Concho river at San Angelos is swelled to an unheardof depth. It, at 4 p.m., has gained a point on the main street of San Angeles, submerging all the houses. The Concho Hotel is now deserted. The people are moving all their effects on the high ground. Ben Ficklin, on the Main Concuo, is completely inundated. The Court House must have fifteen feet of water in it. Houses, trunks, cattle, sheep, and every conceivable thing ai e floating down the river. The town is entirely cut off from all communication, except by the Fort Davis military telegraph lines, and covered with water for over a mile from Concho. Fears are entertained for the people of Ben Ficklin. The old stage station is cov. red wvith water, but the occupants must have e caped. The loss of propel ty in San Angeles, as seen from the opposite side, includes Mrs. Tankerly’s fine hotel, Patton & Langworth's tin:-hop, Vick’s storehouse, Miller & Reek’s livery-stable building, and four dwellings. These wore all adobe buildings. Along the banks some fifty or s xty Mexican houses were washed away. The pest enginehouse is destroyed. The loss at Beu Ficklin is not . yet ascertained. At Dublin the Bosque rivir is a mile wide. Several houses have been washed away. Many horses and catlie were floating down the stream. Baldwin, the mill mar, lost 6,1'C0 bushels of wheat which he bad s ored in bis mill, and his m chiuery is badly damaged. Several persons had to leave or get on top of their houses for p otection.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

Capt. James Anderson, of the Schooner Benson, the Victim of a Shocking Accident. While Timber Is Being Loaded, the Grip Slips, Catches the Captain’s Head, and Pulls It Off. Capt. James Anderson, a navigator well known < n the Northern lakes, was recently the victim of a most horrible accident The schooner Benson, of which" Capt. Anderson was commander, had gone to Lake Superior for a cargo of timber, she and two or three other craft being towed by the tug Metamora. The tow arrived safely at the camp on Serpent river, and the work of loading commenced. On the second day after arrival, while the timber was being put aboard the Benson, the accident occurred, and the hornbie death of Capt Anderson was the result. Great iron grips are used to draw the huge, heavy, slippery sticks of timber into the vessel. In some way these grips slipped when Capt. Anderson was standing by, and, living up, caught the Captain by the head and literally tore his head off. The sight was a eckening and horrible one, and the accident cast a gloom over the entire camp, and especially over the crew of the Benson. The hardy sailors, some of whom had been through the war ashore and afloat, ssid they never witnessed anything so terrible, and certainly hoped they never would again. What made it more terrible was that a second before the Captain in robust heilth, a whole-souled, largehearted, good-natured friend, talking in his joeuhr way with the men. When the latter heard the grip slip, saw the body slung twenty or thirty feet and the head remain in str ngs in the fearful teeth of the horrible tool, it was mere than they could stand. They shuddered, sickened and shed tears. No more work was done on board the Benson that day. The decapitated body and the head and fragments were dressed as well as possible by an under aker, and forwarded by boat and rail to the fam ly at Port Dalnousie—a most dreadful ca:- ket, certainly. C <pt. Anderson had hosts of friends, and was highly esteemel generally. II; had been connected with the firm of Burton & Co., Bmij, for many year-.

THE WAR IN EGYPT.

The English opened fire with two heavy guns on Arabi’s forces on the left bank of the Mahmoudieh canal on the 28th ult., but the reply was feeble. A party of Bedouins advanced to within a short distance of the Meks forts, but found the position untenable and retired after considerable firing. Intrenchments were being thrown up by the Egyptians to the southward of Meks. and two rebel battalions left Aboukir to occupy the adj cent isthmus. The British established a blockade of the Egyptian coast. Two thousand Albanians were enlisted for service in the quarantine and other departments. Biaz Pasha will not form a new ministry for the Khedive if the Chamber of Notables be restored. Prince Ibrahim, a brother of the Khedive, asked permission to accompany the British army in Egypt, but Lord Granville declined the offer of the service. The water supply of Alexandria became so scanty that each inhabitant was to be furnished a gallon daily from the condensing apparatus. 1 De Lesscps claims to feel happy over his share in preventing France from joining in an adventure destined to be more disastrous than that of Napoleon in Mexico. The Turkish Pririe Minister informed Lord Dnfferin that the Council of Ministers had resolved to publish Arabi Pasba as a rebel and accept the British military convention. The attitude of the Russian representative was still antagonistic to England. The British embassy at Constantinople received information that Russia is making large purchases of wheat and storing it at Kars. Three Arab sailors, guilty of mutiny, were keel-hauled on the Egyptian frigate Souda, in the harbor of Alexandria, and soon died. The British were attacked at Kassassin on the night of Aug. 2'J, by a large lores of Egyptians under Arabi Pasha. Gen. Graham commanded the English troops. The Egyptians were repulsed with loss, while the English casualties were only tight killed and sixty-one wounded. The British captured eleven guns. Toulba Pasha was poisoned in the rear of Alexandria. Sultan Pasha had arrived at Port Said to install representatives of the Khedive in the territory, occupied by the British. Constantinople dispatches of Aug. 30 state that the Porte now insists that the troops ol Turkey and England shall jointly operate from Akxuidria. A further reserve of Indian troops I been prepared and will be dispatched to swell Wolse'ey nd. The British cavalry are highly praised for their gallant behavior in the fight at Kassassin. Alexandria dispatches of the Ist inst report that Arabi was strengthening his fortifications at Ramleh, wnile Wolseley and his entire army were advancing. Europeans who arrived from Cairo under escort, at Port Said, announce that owing to the energy of the Prefect of Police at Cairo Euroneans are not molested. Orders have reached Woolwich arsenal to forward at once to Egypt a light siege train. Its weight will be 2,000 tons, and it will require 1,136 officers and men. A report that Arabi Pasha was suing for peace, through the agency of the Governor of Zigazag, and that he had asked for an eight days’ armistice, was telegraphed from Ismallia on the Ist inst. At a meeting of the Chamber of Notables, held at Cairo, Arabi was declared to be the supreme ruler of Egypt. The mutiliations by Egyptians of British who fell into their hands at the battle of Kassassin, caused great indignation in the army. A Madrid dispatch says that all the powers, including England, have replied favorably to the proposition ol Italy that Holland and Spain be permitted to take part in the collective protection of the Suez canal. The British Government sent a telegram to Gen. Wolseley, laudatory of his conduct of the campaign, and the gallantry of his officers and men. Arabi Pasha’s chief engineer, who was recently captured by the British, has been handed over to the Egyptian authorities at Alexandria, the Khedive guaranteeing that

he should not be put to death without the consent of Gen. Wolseley. Dispatches of the 2d inst from Alexandria reported that Arabi was withdrawing his men to Tel-el-Kebir, and that he was confiscating the property of the Europeans in the interior, and selling it to the natives. Forty seamen from the ironclad Minotaur and a company of the Fifty-third regiment quietly approached the enemy’s position opposite Ramleh, under cover of darkness, and succeeded in blowing up with gun-cotton a house on the canal which had long been a point of vantage to the enemy's sharp-shooters. It was a daring deed.

Occupation for Women.

This rather fascinating occupation (type-setting) is found to be very hard on women if they stand at the work. The testimony of Miss is given, who had for a long time been type-setter and foreman of a composing-room. It was : “I have no hesitation in saying that I think I never knew a dozen lady compositors who were well. Their principal troubles are those belonging to the sex, and great pain in the back, limbs and head.” With regard to this highly organized occupation (telegraph) the same general statements are made, with a difference only : “Those at all familiar with the demands upon the nervous energy and manipulative dexterity required by the processes of telegraphs will not be surprised that the rapidity, readiness of perception, etc., are found to exert upon the general and special health of the youthful lady operator a most positive and injurious effect.” A “lady operator,” many years in the business, reported : I have broken down several times from sheer nervous debility. I was well in every particular when I entered the office. Since I broke down the first time £ have never been ‘right,’ though much improved when out on my vacations.” Few occupations would seem so attractive to the average working women as the counting of money in the treasuries of the United States. It is found to demand “ concentration, alertness, continued exercise,” and -these, with the monotony, work mischief. One of the oldest lady workers said : “ Gradually they learn to count faster, but they continue in the work "but a short time.” The counting of the rattan strands at Wakefield is found to produce the same unbearable results. Of stenography we have the same report —“ constant employment therein would inevitably break a woman down in a short time.” Here sewing-machine work is one of the greatest of the modern occupations for women, and it is found to be a doubtful blessing. The troubles produced by the continued use of the sewing machine are classed under some general heads: First, indigestion ; second, muscular pains; third, diseases peculiar towomen; fourth, general debility. IK. H. Elliott, in Popular Science Monthly.

Railroaders’ Relief.

That most comfortable Ticket Office, 187 West street, New York, is presided over by Mr. C. V. V. Ward, who thus addressed one of our representatives recently: “Some months ago I had rheumatism in my right arm, and was unable to raise it. I was advised by a friend to use St. Jacobs Oil. I did so, and before my second bottle had been exhausted my arm was perfectly well.” —Brooklyn Eagle.

How Elephants Multiply.

The elephants are, of all known animals, the slowest to increase ia numbers. At the earliest the female elephant does not become a paient until the age of 30 years, and only six young are capable of being produced during t ie parental period, which appears to cease at 90 years of age, the average duration of elephant life being presumed to be about 100 years. But it is most interesting, as well as important, in view of any speculation on the increase of species and on the question of competition among the races of animal life, to reflect that, given favorable conditions of existence, such as a sufficiency of food, a freedom from disease and from the attack of enemies, the elephant race, slow of inciease as it is, would come in a few years to stock the entire world with its huge representatives. On the data afforded by the foregoing details of the age at which these animals produce young and of their parental period, it is easy to calculate that in from 740 to 750 years 19,000,000 elephants would remain to represent a natural population. If such a contingency awaits even a slowlyincreasing race, such as the elephants unquestionably are, the powerful nature of the adverse conditions which have ousted their kith and kin from a place among living quadrupeds can readily be conceived.— Popular Science Monthly. The success of St. Jacobs Oil throughout the civilized world is without a parallel. —Richmond (Fa.) Southern Planter and Farmer.

Gambling in the United States.

"While lotteries and some of the old phases are not much practiced in this country, still it is true that Americans wager money in other ways. We speculate in stocks, grain and provisions. During the last ten years a certain section of our population have been making bets on their favorite horses. During the past year enormous sums have been lost and won on the turf, so called, though really there is no turf in this country. There is no form of gambling so siily as betting on horses. It is well known that the backers of the “favorite” are sure to lose in the long run. In other words, the horses which are picked out by the very shrewdest turfmen are those on which the most money is lost. The national and State authorities should do something to check gambling on the race course, which is fast becoming an evil of immense magnitude.— Demorest's Monthly. Two Women—A True Story. A poor invalid, widowed mother lay suffering on a bed of straw in a shabby, brokendown tenement house in one of our large cities. Two Christian ladies called; one gave her a missionary testament and made a long prayer, the other ordered proper food and fuel to be given, but, instead of sending a physician, she purchased a bottle of Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla for her. In a few weeks’ time the invalid was again out washing and ironing. To whom shall we give thanks ? Ask your druggist to get it for you.

Why They Both Laughed.

Preachers will have their little jokes like other people. “Gome over and preach for me to-night,” saida divine to a clerical friend whom he met in the street. ‘‘ I can’t to-night, ” was the reply; “I’m right down ill with a sick headache.” “Well,” drolly observed the other, “that won’t matter, for if you preach as you usually do you won’t have to use your head. ” They both laughed, and poked each other in the ribs and said it was a good one, just as though they had been the worst kind of sinners all their lives.— Yonkers Gazette. Mb. George C. Coleman, of Seymour, Ind,, writes : “I have kept Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla in my family for years. My wife thinks there is no such medicine as it is. I think it excellent for weakness and indigestion. We also use it for coughs and colds and it does not fail us.”

Indian Massacres in Arizona and Mexico.

Recent dispatches from the far Southwest give accounts of murderous work by the Apache Indians on the Mexican and Arizona frontier. Twenty jiersons. including several women and children, were killed in the vicinity of the Calavasas, Aiizona. Near Fronteras, Sonora, a party of miners, consisting of H. Barn s’ Payson Barnes, a man named Reifenstha’l and two Mexicans, were attacked and Reifensihal killed, and one of the Barnes wounded in the left arm. The fight lasted all day, and the men escaped under cover of darkness, Near Santa Cruz, in Sonora, three persons were massacred, and in the Sierrato valley seven were killed. A fight occurred in the Patagonia mountains. The Indians defeated the miners aqd ranchmen, she savages numbered 100,

The Price of a Secret.

Freemasons in the year of 1770 must have been rather surprised and amused to read the following announcement it the new Newcastle Courant of Jan. 4, of that year: “ This is to acquaint the public—That on Monday, the first instant, being the Lodge (or monthly meeting) Night of the Free and Accepted Masons of the Twenty-second Regiment, held at the Crown, near Newgate (Newcastle), Mrs. Bell, the landlady, broke open a door (with a poker) that had not opened for some time past; by which means she got into an adjacent room, made two holes through the wall, and by that stratagem discovered the secrets of Freemasonry ; and she, knowing herself to be the first woman in the world that ever found out the secret, is willing to make it known to all her sex. So any lady who is desirous of learning the secrets of Freemasonry, by applying to that well-learned woman (Mrs. Bell, that lived fifteen years in and about Newgate), may be instructed in the secrets of Masonry.— Chambers' Journal.

A German actor, anxious to secure some applause and unable to pay for a claque, secured place in the gallery for his nine children and instructed them carefully as to the moment when they should clap their hands and shout “bravo! ” The moment arrived at last, and to his amazement a chorus of nine children called out: “Bravo, papa, bravo.” If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have frequent headaches, mouth fasts s bad, poor appetite, tongue coated, you are suffering from torpid liver, or “ biliousness.” Nothing will cure you so speedily and permanently as Dr. Pierce’s “ Golden Medical Discovery.” By all diTiggis's._ Woman’s rights and lefts.—E'derly spinster (who is being measured for a pair of boots) : “And mind that von make one larger than the other.” Attendant (with astonishment): “Thenthey won’t be fellows, ma’am!” E. 8.

“ Yellow Pete.” A gentleman well known in Pittsburgh, Pa., had business relations in the West Indies, and went over to give the matter his personal supervision and attention. He there contracted a bilious affection, and his liver was in such a state of torpidity that it was utterly’ incapable of performing its functions. He tried many' mehns to bring it back to a healthy' condition and restore the system to a state of activity, but without success, until one day’ he was fortunate enough to have Burdock Blood Bitters recommended, and now his health is entirely restored Read what was his experience. It speaks for Itself: “After spending a few years in Jamaica I returned to this country about played out physically. My complexion was so changed that they used to call me Yellow Pete. I traveled much and tried everything I could think of to act upon the liver, but nothing seemed to do me any good, until one day I happened to hear of Burdock Blood Bitters. I tried it, and consider there is nothing like it. My sallow complexion is gone, and it has toned up the weak spots in my system generally’. “Peter L. Collins, “Pittsburgh, Pa.” Such was Mr. Collins’ experience, which is corroborated by hundreds of other unsolicited testimonials equally as reliable, proving that Burdock Blood Bitters now supplies a want long needed, and that as a remedy' for acting upon the blood, the liver and the kidneys it is simply peerless.

AUSPICIOUS OPENING.

And Great Success of a NewHouse. y Large wholesale houses usually obtain prominence byyears Qf patient industry, and do not start off fully equipped with expert clerks, surplus cash and eager customers, upon a large business career. Public conndence and popular favor are the growth of time. The exceptions to this law are phenomenal and always attract attention by their novelty. An instance of this kind is furnished by the unexampled success of the new dry goods firm of ~j BURKE, WALKER A CO., occupying the five-story bloclq 100 by 166 feet, 230 to 236 Adams street. Beginning business thgre last January, Under exceptionally favorable auspices, their trade has more than doubled their expectations, and 1s increasing beyond all precedent. Mr. Burke for the fast twenty-five years, has occupied a leading position in tiic.wfiolesale trade of Chicago. is favorably known to the business men of the West, and, by previous training and business experience, is specially well fitted for this enterprisfe. ' Mr. Walker, for the last five years, was the business manager of the great Dry Goods house of A. T. Stewart <t Co., in Chicago, and was trained to the business and familiarized with the details of a vast dry goods trade in the New York house. He has added to his knowledge of the dry goods trade in the East a thorough acquaintance with the condition and wants of this trade in the West. As the firm of A. T. Stewart A Co. was retiring frpm business, they secured the services of a large corps of their clqrk.s and salesmen, so that the house thus organized knew the standing and had the good will of Western merchants at the start. Importing largely, they have been singularlyfortunate in their foreign connections in selecting one of the most competent, experienced aryl trustworthy experts in foreign gbods at the head of their European house. Such a combination of favorable conditions rarely unites in the persons of so competent num to inaugurate their entrance upon a great mercantile enterprise as attended the introduction of this new house to the dry goods trade of Chicago. Both the active partners are in the prime and vigor of manhood, and good representatives of the class 4>f merchants who have given character, wealth and fame to Chicago, With ample capital, abounding industry and enterprise, courteous and affable manners adapted to make and retain friends, and a resolute purpose to win success by deserving it, and with the hearty good will of their contemporaries, this house has taken a very prominent part in the dry goods trade of the West. It is the union of active, experienced memliers of old, large and eminently successful houses in a new firm, to conduct a business which they thoroughly understand, in a field. in which they are well and favprably known. ‘ Little Johnny, who has been observing the diffi sully with which gorged mosquitoes fly, remarks to his little brother at the breakfasttable : “If you eat so much you will die, Billv, and be an angle, but you won’t be able to fly much. ” — Texas Siftings.
