HE NEEDED A LICKING.

And There Was a ClUsen on Hand Equal to the Emergency. A mean-looking man got on a Broadway and Seventh avenue car at Canal street recently, says the New York Sun. He sat down between two women and handed the conductor a nickel. At Bleecker street he called the conductor to him and asked: “Don't I get any change?" The conductor looked surpsfsed. “You only gave me a nickel," he said. “You He,” said the mean looking man, angrily. “I gave you a dollar bill. See, I had four bills, and I have only three now. • He pulled three 81 bills from his pocket The conductor counted his money and found it agreed with the number of fares registered. “I am sure you only gave me a nickel," he said. “You're a liar!” said the mean man, “and if you don’t give mo 05 cents change rli take it out of your hide, and then have you arrested tor swindling.” “1 am quite sure you only gave the conductor a 5-cent piece," ventured one of the women; “I saw the coin. ’ “You’re quite sure of nothing,” said the mean man in an insult ng tone. •Does he pay you to cap for him?” A big man dressed like a laborer sat on the opposite side of the car. He had heard the dispute. When the mean man addressed the woman this man reached over with a pair of useful eleven inch hands He seized the mean man by both the nose and the ear and twisted those organs until the mean man howled. “You’re a sneak-thief,” said the big man. “You’re mean enough to rob a church poor-box," and he lifted him up out of the seat and twisted and butted him with his knee. He carried him kicking and howling from the car and dropped him off the back p!atform. “You try to get on this car again, ” he shouted, “and I’ll break every bone in your pesky body!” The car went on. The conductor and the women looked relieved, lhe mean man got up and walked off. “Do you carry much such truck as that?” asked the big man of the conductor. “About once a week," he said; “but he's the only man I ever saw properly handled.”

New Clearings in Frontier Settlements Often give birth to miasma, m one of the first fruits of an upturning of the soil Malaria is a relentless foe to the newly arrived emigrant if he be unprepared to meet it by the use of a reliable preparative end preventive. It, therefore, behooves those seeking the far West in search of homes to provide themselves with a medicinal guaranty against chills and fever, bilious remittent, and ailments of kindred origin. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has for nearly half of a century been esteemed the best. From Maine to Oklahoma, from Victoria to San Juan del Sul, its acknowledged superiority meets with no challenge in localities where it has been used. Medical testimony, the most positive and direct, backs up the general verdict, no less in regard to its virtues in case of liver complaint, dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatism, and kidney ailments than in cases of malarial disease.
