And More Left.

A dozen years ago a farmer came into Detroit with a load of potatoes and sold them to a grocer. A dispute arose as to the quantity. The farmer felt himself cheated out of two bushels and he left the grocer with a black eye. The grocer was a man who meant to keep even with all men. He therefore took his affidavit to whip that agricultural toiler within an inch of his life, and the longer he waited the madder he got. At the end of a month, seeing no prospect of catching the farmer in town, the grocer procured a horse and buggy and drove out to the farm to have it out. When withiif three miles of the place he encountered a man on the highway and inquired: “Can you tell me where old Stiver lives ?” “Yes; going to buy cattle of him ?” “No, sir! I’m going to pound him out of his boots!” “I guess not! I’m old Stiver’s §on and you’ve got to whip- me first!” The grocer jumped out and a battle resulted. He polished the son off, but it ( was a tight squeeze. He had not gone half a mile when a man who was husking corn near the fence hailed him with: “Did you have a fight down there?” “Yes.” “Who whipped ?” “I did.” “Well, that was my brother you was fighting, and may be you think you can mash me, too!” A second fight took place, and proved a draw. The grocer was somewhat discouraged,having several loose teeth and a nose as big as his wrist, but he drove on to the next house. A strapping fellow about 27 years old was cutting wood at the gate, and the grocer drew up and asked • “How far is it to Stiver’s?” “Which Stiver?” “Why, old liar Stiver’s.” “Stranger, the man who speaks that way of my old dad has got to be pounded,” remarked the chopper, and a third fight was soon on the boards. This time the grocer had his fill, and, after brushing the grass out of his hair, he asked: “How far is it to Mr. John Stiver’s 1” “Two miles.” ■ - “One more question. I’ve met and fought with three of his sons. Is there another living between here and the old man’s ?” "Another ? Why, there are three, and besides there are two single ones at home who could turn you wrong-side out in twenty seconds r The grocer drove slowly back to the city and went to bed for a week. His mistake was in not waiting to catch the old man some time when all "the boys were off fishing.— Detroit Free Press.

OBITUARY.

Leon Gambetta. M. Leon Gambetta, the chief representative of modem French Democracy, died at Paris on the first day of the new year. Deceased was born at Cahors in 1838, and became a member of the bar of Paris in 1859. At the fall of the empire he was made Minister of the Interior, and in October, 1870,,he proceeded to Tours, and was for some months dictator of those provinces of France which remained free from the German invaders. By the death of Gambetta France loses her greatest, if not her wisest, statesman. Seldom has a man dying at the age Of 44 achieved a more prominent place in the world’s history. He had hardly been admitted to the Parisian bar before he acquired fame as a forensic speaker, and in the year 1869, when he was only 30 years of age, he was immensely popular in the city of Pai-is on account of his eloquent advocacy of advanced Republican principles. But it was during the dark days of the investment of the French capital, by the Germans in 1870, that Gambetta attracted to himself the attention of the world He was nominated Minister of the Interior in the Government of the National Defense, and exhibited the highest qualities of administrative ability. How he passed the German lines surrounding Paris in a balloon, so as to confer with the Delegate Government at Tours, is fresh in the mind of every reader. He then became almost dictator of that portion of France which was not overran with Germans. But the raw, undisciplined army with which he sought to drive the Germans from French soil melted away before their trained and veteran enemies From this time on the career of Gambetta has been intimately associated with almost every change m the many changes which have occurred to the French republic. He was a power among the people and in the Chamber of Deputies

A Base Conspiracy Defeated.

A close guess was made in a Hartford saloon. In one partition of a moneydrawer was a large number of pennies. Among the frequenters of the place was a man who was always ready to make a bet It occurred to the proprietor of the place, who had been taken in a good, many times by the betting man, to lay for him. He took a friend into his confidence, and the pair made np their minds to beat the fellow with the contents of the money-drawer. So they counted the pennies and found there were just 625 of them. Then they laid low for their opportunity. That evening the betting man was on hand, and iu a manner not to excite suspicion the saloon-keeper said to his friend: “I wonder how many pennies there are in this drawer?” The be Wing chap pricked np his ears and remirked: “Let each of us put np $5, aqd the one who comes nearest to the number shall take the pot. ” This was agreed to, and the saloonkeeper marked 624, his friend 625, and the fellow who was really ignorant of the number, and whom they expected to trap, by the merest ohance put his figures at 625. The astonishment of the two sharpers was no greater than the wonder of the other at such remark-* ably sharp guessing. After this the betting man was boss of the saloon.— Hartfoi'dr(Conn.) Times.

An Old Novelty.

The officials of the old German Patent Office are adepts at discovering that inventions for which patents were sought were old. Here is a case which would have delighted them, if they had the opportunity to refuse to recognize the invention. Not long ago a patent was obtained in the United States for a tack-hammer, in which the tack was attached to the hammer and driven in at one blow. It appears that in one of the manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci, he observes that, if you give a nail a great many blows with a hammer to drive it into a board, the operation will be long and somewhat difficult (alluding possibly (o the tendency of novices to drive it to one side); but, if you attach the nail to the hammer with wax, you may drive it in with one blow. The observation is scientifically and absolutely true, and she American inventor of the tack-hammer was obviously anticipated centuries ago 1 The Boston Pilot says: St. Jacobs Oil stands without an equal.*

Telephonic Item.

The intelligence or instinct of some insects is really marvelous. It was noticed yesterday that a large number of bees ivere buzzing about the telephone wires. A gentleman who had some curi sity about the matter asked one of the operators-what was going on over the wire, and was informed that Mr. William Everts, a promising young Austin lawyer, was conversing with a young widow, and that it was probably the sweetness going over the wires that had atttacted the attention of the bees, for as soon as they gave up the wire, and Mrs. Yerger began to tell OoL Yergerthat if he forgot to send a man to fix the stove she would make it hot for him, the bees dropped off as if the wire had become warm from the remarks that had passed over it. —Texas Siftings.

The Conductor.

Winona, Minn., Nov. 29, 1879. I had been suffering with a severe cold for several days; was so hoarse I could not speak above a whisper. Nov. 16 I met one of Dr. Warner’s agents on my train; he handed me a bottle of White Wine of Tar Syrup; one hour after taking the first dose my hoarseness commenced to leave me. In twentyfour hours my voice was quite clear and # natural, and the cold nearly cured. It is the best remedy I ever saw. Respectfully, C. W.
