Jay Gould’s Somewhat Precious Time.

Several weeks ago, when Jay Gould was in Little Rock, he was visited in his special car by a strange-looking, oddly-dressed man. “Mr. Gould,” said the visitor, “will you be generous enough to give me ten minutes of your time?” “Yes,” said the millionaire, in a dry, last-year sort of voice. “Ten minutes, thank you, sir; write the check?” “What check?” said the millionaire, in a kind of lastmonth voice. “Perhaps I’d betteissxplain. A noted mathematician has calculated your income to be one dollar per seqond With you, of course, time is money, face value. Now, you have given me ten minutes, amounting you see, to SBOO. Have you got the money about you, or will you give me a check?” The millionaire looked at the man in silence. “I’ll do the fair thing. Make it five hundred. Hanged if I don’t be easy with you. Make it four—blame it. say two hundred.” Mr. Gould looked long and inquiringly at the man, but didn’t smile.— Arkansas Traveler.

Where Buttons are Plenty.

Buttons abound in paper mills of all sorts, sizes and shapes. - They come on the rags that are collected by dealers, and must be cut off before they go to to the rag engines. A large force of girls do this worK, and the result is a great accumulation of buttons. Almost every family that has a member working in tie rag room of a paper mill can supply buttons by the quart at short notice. There is a yellow fever case at New Orleans, imported from Havana.

BRIGHTEST INTELLECTS SUFFER MOST.

Young men who have led a life of dissipation and excess, reform! Give tone to the stomach, regulate the Jiver, strengthen the urinary organs, relieve those dull pains in the limbs, rid yourself of that feeling of nausea, nervousness, languor, and debility, by using Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, then will you experience a genial warmth and awakening life, in place of that dead feeling of decay, and dyspepsia, milky urine, eta, no longer undermine your constitution. Delay is dangerous.

Peculiar Death of a Horse.

We seen nothing in the papers concerning the peculiar position of the dead horse in a field just this side or Grinnell, where the tornado crossed the Rock Island railroad. This horse is a fine sorrel and is kneeling as if in praver. It was evidently carried some distance in the air and gently let down in plain sight of the railroad upon its legs foldend in under it or driven into the earth. There is not a scar or dent to be seen in the noble animal and at first sight one imagines that it is alive. Its head is in an upright position, the nose resting upon the ground. The freak was one of the most wonderful of the tornado and the sight is one of the most impressive.—lowa State Lead-r. A Brooklyn jury has found a verdict for over $250,U0.) against Secretary Stuart, of the school board, and Aiderman Jones, for the embezzlement of school funds. A gentleman writes: “I suffered for years from weakness of the urinary and digestive organs, and was fast approaching consumption and a premature grave. I happened to hear some one say that Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla was good for dizziness and bad blood. I tried it and have been made well.” ~ —••••" - 1 ♦ *

On the Back of a Wild Buck.

The crewjof the Explorer, as she was leaving Punta Rassa, Florida, Sunday, saw a fine buck just ahead, swimming for Sinnabel Island to the High Pines, distant about ten miles. No one on board had a gun, so the cook took his axe and with others, manned the small boat and set out in hot pursuit, but every time they would get nearly close enough to strike him the deer would dodge; at last G orge Richardson jumped upon his back, but the deer did not Lke such familiarity, and liked to have drowned him before the others could assist. Eve .t----ually he was killed, and was found to be a giant of his kind, weighing one hundred pounds.—Key West Democrat. In the attempted arrest of a Raton, New Mexico, gambler, three men were shot and killed, and two wounded. The gambler was lynched by the citizens.

Richmond’s Phenomenon.

The case of James Coleman, the colored boy, formerly a ‘member of the chutch of which Rev. John Jasper, the famous colored preacher, is pastor, has taken a turn which has caused even more excitement among the members of that church particularly than it did in the beginning, when Coleman, after having been expelled from church, ceased to speak, claiming that he had told a He and, having previously invoked God to paralyze his tongue if what he said was not true, was struck dumb because he told a lie. Saturday evening late Coleman’s mother went to Dr. Tabb’s office to have the boy treated, hoping that medical assistance would revive the lingual powers of the boy whose misdoings led to his being expelled from church a few days before. The boy, who is about seventeen years old, accompanied his mother to Dr. Tabb’s office. An effort was made to get him to speak by polite persuasiveness, but the alleged dumb-stricken, excommunicated and disobedient boy steadfastly refused. Dr. Tabb called in Dr. Lee, and the tWo administered chloroform to the boy. Very soon he was gently snoring away under the benign influence of the drug,but never spoke a word, notwithstanding the fact that persuasive power in the shape of sharp pins were put to the boy’s body, causing enough pain to make an ordinary man use the plainest sort of Anglo-Saxon in the quickest sort of time and in the loudest tone imaginable. The medicr-1 men simultaneously struck upon the idea that the galvanic battery, if properly used,would probably work like a charm. It was used and with fine effect. The handles of the little instrument were placed in the boy’s hands. He was told to hold them easy,and. as requested caught them firmly. Enough electricity was turned on to prevent the boy from letting the handles loose. Getting him thus under their control the medical men smiled and knew that they had him if he was to be had at all. A powerful current with lightning rapidity went through the alleged dumb boy’s frame-work with fine effect. His tongue moved and in a taint voice, which was hardly heard at the other side of the room, he said, as if gasping for breath, “8-t-o-p i-t.” Presently the electricity got the best of him and science prevailed. With a loud voice he sent forth a plaintiff plea for merey. He didn’t speak plain enough, though, and the physicians continued to put it to him. •‘For God’s sake, doctor, stop shookin’ dat handle!” This was enough, and ih compliance with the boy’s earnest appeal the battery was stopped, the electric current turned off and the boy’s liberty established. * Six thousand Masons paraded in Philadelphia in honor of the founding of Masonry in Pennsylvania.
