Had Neuralgia in the Face.

It looks as if it was mighty nice to be able to sit by a nice fire for a week or ao with nothing to dp, but we had rather maul rails than do it It’s nice, very nice, to sit tilted back in front of a fire, with plenty of cigars and a lot of exchanges, a novel or so, and a pair of slippers. Oh, yes, it looks very nice, indeed—to the man who is not sitting there. With his throat wrapped up in an army blanket, a big towel tied around his head, a bottle. of wizzard oil in one hand, his temples held in the other, and a wad of cotton large enough to make a “palpitator* saturated with laudanum and jammed down onto a row of aching teeth, he is an object of the most sincere and heart-rending pity. He takes up a novel and just as he gets to where the loving maiden says, “Yes, darling, they may say that you are poor, but I love you for your true worth; be patient, dearest; ’twill be but a few brief hqjars till I will see you in ” H—l! ( This last word is used by the man sitting by the fire, and whose worst jaw tooth has suddenly waked up and gone into business at the old stand.) Down goes the book and the sufferer jumps into the center of the floor and executes a few steps that a Highland fling girl in a variety show might be proud of. In rushes the faithful little wife, and for a few minutes the odor of laudanum and hot towels fills the room. Then the “bad” tooth goes to sleep for a while, and the sufferer gets back into the easy chair and takes up the book again. But it don’t interest him. He has suffered so that the drops of agony still stand on his forehead, and he don’t care whether the hero meets the heroine all right or whether the old man puts a load of duck shot into him just as he (the hero) has reached the lattice and is whispering “Flee with me, my own.” About that time the little wife comes up with “a nice dinner for papa,” and papa’s eyes glisten as he seesthe neat tray with its cup of steaming coffee. He gathers it fondly onto his lap and takes first a sip of coffee, but alas! the “bad” tooth and four others of its brethren in the upper jaw decide that they don’t like cbffee, and rise right up on their hind legs and howl. The sick man howls, too, and by the time this little matinee is over he feels as if he, didn’t want to eat anything for the next ton years. Then after dinner (the dinner he didn’t eat) is over, in comes the consoler. The* first thing he says is, “Why don’t you get it pulled ?” It! There’s where the joke comes in. When a man gets neuralgia in his head he might stop it by getting all his teeth, his forehead, his nose, and both ears pulled, but we doubt it. When neuralgia tackles a man it don’t go in for any four rounds, Marquis of Q. rules; it just comes to stop and visit him a while, and it don’t allow itself to be neglected or forgotten during its visit. Any of our readers who have waded through the above will understand why we are glad to “be on the streets again.” N. B. —For sale: one case of neuralgia ( warranted a full case). Bidders for same can make their own terms by calling at the Argus office.— Evansville Argus.

The Author of “ Beulah.”

One of the bright days of the Southern journey dates a visit to the home of Mrs. Wilson, among the many old-time beautiful residences which are in the suburban part of Mobile. Few in the North would know Augusta J. Evans as Mrs. Wilson, but the name of Miss Evans is familiar to all the lovers of literature in every section of the country. Her fine old mansion is thickly surrounded by live oaks in perpetual verdure, a profusion of shrubbery and camellia trees, radiant with thousands of bursting buds and blooming flowers. One tree, that had evidently been the object of special care, bore full 3,000 bright scarlet buds and flowers on its exquisitely symmetrical branches, and when in full bloom it must illumine the whole neighborhood. The visitors were •promptly admitted and greeted by the distinguished authoress in the hospitable style of the true Southern home. She was neatly clad in pretty gingham costume, and her welcome made all forgetful of formality. She lives and moves in a vast bower of flowers, all planted and nursed by her own hands, and she exhibits them with all the pride and affection of a Boman mother. Refreshments were served, and the one vacant place at the table had a napkin ring holding an exquisite white camellia. “That,” said Mrs. Wilson, “is my husband’s bouquet for to-day, and he has never been without one at any breaking of bread in our home since we were married, now sixteen years ago.” She discussed authors with freedom but in - generous kindness, and spoke sorrowfully of the decline in Southern literature, caused by the long trials and sacrifices of war. She inquired specially for Miss Brewster, of this city, and said that she had lately written to her, urging the reprint of new editions of her books. “I read no history of the war, ’’ she eaid, with the impressive pathos that only a woman could exhibit. “The story is too sad to me and to those who saw its terrible sweep of destruction to be rescued from forgetfulness.” She filled the hands of her visitors with flowers and their hearts with love. She is a model Southern housekeeper, takes entire charge of her plants and grounds and Jersey cows and horses, besides finding leisure to make rapid progress in her new book. “Ido it by having system,” was her answer, when asked how she managed to do so much. It was a pleasant hour, and it added another to the many specially memorable incidents of the journey in the South. —Philadelphia Times.

The Man Who Aspired.

“You have furnished rooms, I observe,” be said, as tbe landlady opened the front door and sized him- up. “Y-e-s; I think we might possibly spare you a room. Come in.” “Is "it on the top story?’’ “Yes.” “Is it large enough to contain my trunk and a chair and a bed at the same time?” “Hardly.” , ’y'*"' “Is thwe a handle oh the waterpitcher ?” “I think not.” “Is the wash-stand minus one leg?” “I believe so.” “Window looks down on the back yard, J presume —three 51'1 ash-ban els,

swill-box, and a heap of cans and bottles?” 'T. • / “Yes, sir.” . ]’ !1 • '■ “Twenty-eight holes in the carpet on the floor ?” • “I have forgotten, but X think there are twenty-eight.” “Piece of yellow soap in tkjjkdish, and a clean towel twice a week r “Correct, sir.” “Madam, I am a man of few words. I don’t .want the room. ” sir. I am a woman who can’t afford to waste any time. It is evident that you have struck too jtigh a plane. Good-day!” And she stood on the steps and watched him until he turned the corner, and then said to herself: ’ “He forgot to ask me if there were any drawers to the bureau, and I forgot to tell him there wasn’t. Never mind, though—he is looking for a cheap place.”— Detroit Free Press.

Jefferson’s Horses.

Jefferson, like .most of his class m Virginia in those days, was “land poor,” and the practices of buying and selling on indefinitely long credits, of never paying or receiving cash for anything, of purchasing extensions of indebteness at ruinous rates, were enough of themselves to have ruined a man of larger means and of more frugal habits than Mr. Jefferson, and he, unfortunately, was never a njan either of large means or of frugal habits. His accounts show that he was continually buying things he could not afford, and indulging himself when he should have denied himself. Here are the prices paid for the horses of a Democratic President in those days: , 1801 Feby 3 Recd from Col. John Hoomes of the ~ Bowling Green a bay horse Wildair 7 yr old 16 hands high for which l am to pay him 300 D May 1. ' Gavethe servant an order on J. Barnes for his Expenses and trouble, 2oD. April 20 Reed from J. W. Eppes the following horses bought forme from Bell SOOD palable June 16 6 yr old last year 2 from Shore 800 D paiable July. 12 8 yr old from Haxhall GOOD paiable July 16 6 yr old. Thus it appears that our first Democratic President started with five horses, the cheapest of which cost S3OO, and the dearest SSOO. The Wildair referred to in the first of the foregoing entries as costing S3OO was “the magnificent Wildair” which Jefferson rode to the Capitol and hitched to the palisades while he went in to deliver his inaugural. There were neither wagon roads, pavements, sidewalks nor railroads in those days in Washington, and there was no getting about, therefore, for either sex without horses. But we have changed all this.— John Bigelow, in Harper's Magazine.

A Story of Sydney Smith.

Newton told me that, at a dinner party at Lord Lyndhurst’s, at which he was present, the conversation turned on the custom, in India, of widows burning themselves, an instance »of which was recent. When the subject was pretty well exhausted, Smith began to defend the practice, asserting that no wife who truly loved her husband could wish, to survive him. “But if Lord Lyndhurst were to die, you would be sorry that Lady Lyndhurst should burn herself.” “Lady Lyndhurst.” he replied, “would no doubt, as an affectionate wife, consider it her duty to burn herself; but it would be our duty to put her out; and, as the wife of the Lord Chancellor, Lady Lyndhurst should not be put out like an ordinary widow. It should be a state affair; first, a procession of the Judges, and then of the lawyers.” “But where, Mr. Smith, are the clergy ?” “All gone to congratulate the new Chancellor.”—C. R. Leslie.

How Biff Enjoys Himself.

“Did you see Mrs. Van SaltsellerSplurges Biff at Mrs. Old Cheese’s reception?” one gentleman asked another. “Yes; covered with diamonds, wasn’t she?” “Just loaded with them. It’s a wonder old Biff allows his wife to dress that way; he’s so common in things himself, you know.” “Allow her! Why she dresses for him. He can’t wear diamonds himself, so he gives them to her. Then, people will say, ‘Who’s that lady encrusted with gems?’ ‘Why, don’t you know'? That’s Mrs. Van Saltseller-Splurges Biff, wife of Spindleshank Biff, the great millionaire.’ There’s where old Biff comes in. See?"— Pittsburgh Chronicle- Telegraph.

Fertility of Dakota Soil.

“You have a very rich soil here,” remarked a tenderfoot to a Dakota farmer. “Rich! well, I should say so. Two years ago a young man from the East came on here. He carried a snakewood cane. He stuck, it in the ground and left it here.” “I suppose,” remarked the tenderfoot, with a smile, “you mean to tell me it sprouted.” “Sprouted! Well, I should say it did, and blossomed too. Why, last year I killed ten bushels of blacksnakes on that pateh of ground, and each one was varnished and had a hammered silver head.” —Ne w York Graphic.

Out of Percentage.

“Oh, Mr v Smith,” said a- young lady at a church fair, “I want your help for a moment.” “Certainly,” replied Mr. Smith; “what can I do for you?” “I have just sold a tidy for sls that cost fifteen cents, and. I w'ant you to tell me what percentage that is.” “A transaction of that kind, my dear Miss B. ! ” said Mr. Smith, who is a lawyer, “gets out of percentage and into larceny.”— New York Commercial Advertiser.

A SURPRISING CHANGE.

With its broad streets and majestic sveduea adorned'with stately buildings, Detroit is one of the mos’ 1 magnificent cities on this continent. Its new system of eieqtrlo lighting throws into obscurity all the old methods, and tenses ordinary street lamps where dingy tallowdips used to be. The new lighth are on ligh t lattice-work towers, 125 to 150 feet high, shedding a radiance which is like intensified moonlight. The effect of this when the city is covered with its white robe of snow, is strangely beautiful.' A gentleman recently spent a day or two in Detroit, pushing his researches to some extent m the direction of finding out as to the new method of curing rheumatism by means of Athlophoros, the remedy which in the last year or two has attained such favor as a victor over this old enemy of the human race. Calling on Mr. B. B. Watson, the wellknown Superintendent of the American District Telegraph Company, he found that gentleman cheerfully ready to say all the pleasant things he could say about Athlophoros. “My wife, ” said Mr. Watson, “was suffering terribly from rheumatism; her pains were both in joints and muscles. So excruciating were her agonies when she moved, that sometimes on assuming one position in the morning she would remain in that position all day rather than endure the torment of being moved. I procured a bottle of- Athlophoros, and the effect on my wife was as surprising as it was gratifying. We had no idea that any medicine could so speedily remove such an obstinate disease. She was soon cured, and the cure was complete. Since that she has had no return of the disorder. We speak freely among our friends of the good work of Athlophoros, and have no hesitation in saying how highly we esteem it.” Visiting nearly all the leading drug stores in the city, it was found that all who had kept Athlophoros had received from their customers marked commendation of its efficacy. One lady had taken six bottles of it, with the result of a complete cure. At Frizelle’s, on Michigan avenue, one of the clerks had taken it with excellent effect. This young man, Mr. Cohen, had suffered greatly with rheumatism. Though surrounded by medicines of every description, they did not reach his case. Mr. Cohen tried Athlophoros, and found that it did for him what nothing else had been able to do. From Detroit to Chicago is but a day’s ride, and in the latter city Athlophoros has also accomplished some wonderful results. In Chicago, at I’os West Twelfth street, lives Mr. William W. Summers, of the wellknown firm pt’ Summers, Morrison & Ca, ' commission merchants, 174 South Water streets. Mr. and Mrs. Summers gave substantially the following facts: “ When Bobbie was taken sick some weeks ago we thought at first that it was only an ordinary cold, but it proved to be something much more severe. The pains were evidently those of rheumatism. We wrapped the boy in cotton and gave him a number of the remedies such as are generally given. His agony was dreadful. We had to hold him in the bed, his agony was so great. We had two physicians, who did not succeed in making him any better. The poor child’s torture was so intense that he asked for a pistol. So that he might put himself out of the way and thus end his sufferings. When he was at his worst we thought of Katie GUI, who was well known to us, and the medicine that had cured her. .We sent to Mr. Gill’s to know the name of the medicine and where to get it. They happened to have some left in a bottle—Athlophoros the name is—and they kindly sent it to us. It is surely a very strange and powerful medicine, for it stopped the boy’s pain very soon and very effectually. He took but a little of it, for there was orrty enough for about three doses in the bottle Mr. Gill sent us. This was only a few weeks ago. The boy has had no return of rheumatism. Ycu see him now as hearty and as happy as any other boy.” If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist we will send it express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn’t it, do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us. as directed. Athlophoros Ca. 112 Wall street. New York.

A Young Lady’s Good Taste.

A well-cooked meal served on a poorly set table is like gingerbread with the spice left out. Say as you will; eatables taste better out of pretty dishes; but tqbe pretty, it is not necessary that they should be expensive.' A lady was once visiting a family whose means were somewhat straitened, yet through the deftness and ingenuity of one of the daughters’ busy fingers, their home always possessed a cozy prettiness peculiarly its own. “My dear,” said the lady, “I was never so much surprised aS when Hattie explained to me the modus operand! of some of her home achievements. Why, the chair I was sitting on, such an easy one, with just the right hollow for your back, was made out of a flour barrel! Her brother did the carpentry and she the upholstery. Old-fashioned flowered chintz, too lovely for anything. And then the lunch. I don’t mean the eatables, which were very simple, but deliciously cooked. You would never have guessed what the center-piece for the table was composed of. As pretty a flower ornament as I ever saw that girl had manufactured out of an old cruet-stand and a pie plate. Positively! The cruet-stand was set upon the tin plate, the whole covered with this luscious green moss, excepting, of course the handle, around whiph w’ere twined, so as to conceal the plating, some creeping.vines. Nestling amid the moss were half-blown roses and buds, while feathery ferns trembled gracefully at each passing breeze. There, you see, I am getting quite poetic over it, and no wonder, for really that house is the abode pf poesy. It was summer time, and they have a lovely garden, or they could not have afforded the flowers, of course; but I assure you, before my visit ended, I should not have doubted Hattie if she had informed me she could transform a teakettle into a lovely parlor ornament.—A lady, in New York Mail.

A Rival of Bogardus.

One of the crack military companies of Houston was out practicing targetshooting. One of the members was tpld to shoot at the door of a deserted barn. He did so but missed the entire barn. - The captain was very angry, and told the young man how bad it would be, in case the enemy were shooting from behind the door, that none of them would be hit. “Yes, but wouldn’t the hostile enemies that were coming around the corner of the barn catch fits ?” replied this Texas Bogardus.— Texas Siftings.

The Common Enemy.

Inorder to make headway against the common enemy. Disease, it is, necessary to oppose him with persistence. It very frequently happens that a remedy perfectly adequate to the necessities of the case, if persisted in, is condemned and thrown aside because a few doses of it do not curs a malady. How unreasonable and unjust would such a judgment be regarding Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, one of the most popular and highly sanctioned medicines of the day, a potent invigorant, and an invariably successful remedy tor constipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint, incipient rheomatlsm. neuralgia and gout, inactivity and weakness of the kidneys and bladder, and tor the infirmities In-' cident to the decline of life. No fact is better established than the above, yet In order to experience its truth, those afflicted with obstinate forms of disease should give this benignant curative a patient trial. If they do, they may rely upon decisive curative results.

Artistic Paintings.

She recently painted a landscape which was so real that the lowing of the cattle could be heard distinctly.” > Mr. Hashful—“Pretty good; but my daughter Sal kin beat that.” Mr. B.—“ What! has your daughter been developing as an embryonic artist?” Mr. H.—“l don’t know ez she hes bin doin’ that, but she painted a pictur of a green cow cumber so nateral that it give the hull family the cholera morbus.”—Newman Independent.

Painful Impressions. A remarkable characteristic of the average newspaper reader of the day is the eagerness and avidity one seeks for painful impressions caused by perusing accounts of human suffering. Is there a railroad accident, a steamboat disaster. a hanging, a lynching, a murder or anything of this najure vividly written up and glowingly pictu ed in reportorial descriptive style, it at once becomes the most interesting item of the paper. Managers of our large and most successful metropolitan dailies pander to this corrupt and morbid taste of their patrons. A reporter will be dispatched a hundred miles to gather the latest and most minute details of some licentious rape or revolting murder, while the deeds of the good and the virtuous are never known outside a narrow limit. “Full many a rose is born to blush unseen And waste its fragrance on the desert air." All this is evidence of mental disease, a truth that can not be contradicted. They that are clothed and in their right mind loth evil and a recital of evil ways; with them it is “peace on earth and good will toward men.” “Heaven on earth” is printed on their banner, while “all their ways are ways of pleasantness and all their pathsafe peace.” Not all are conscious of their mental impairment; so long have they suffered from urinary, digestive and nervous disorders, that they consider their feelings and impressions natural and common to even healthful individuals. But if all such should regain perfect health and strength of mind and body by using D« GU¥6O»T’S YELLOW DOCK AND SARSAPARILLA, they would experience a charge of feeling that would be most gratifying and pleasurable.

A Losing Joke. ‘A prominent physician of Pittsburg said to ‘a lady patient who was complaining of hercon‘tfnued ill health, and of his inability to cure ‘her, jokingly said: “Try Hop Bitters!’ The ’lady took it in earnest and used the Bitters, ‘from which she obtained permanent health. ‘Bhe now laughed at the doctor for his joke, but ‘he is not so well pleased with it, as it cost him ‘a good patient. Fees of Doctors. The fee of doctors at $3.00 a virit would tax a man for a year, and in need of s daily visit, over SI,OOO a year for medical attendance alone! And one single bottle ot Hop Bitters taken in time would save ths SI,OOO and all the year’s sickness. Given up by the Doctors. “Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and at work, and cured by so simple a remedy?” “I assure you it is true that he is entirely cured, and with nothing but Hop Bitters, and only ten days ago his doctors gave him up and said he must die, from Kidney and Liver trouble!” WNone genuine without a bunch of green Hops on th? white label. Shun all the vile, poisonous stuff with “Hop” or “Hope” in their name. PATENTS HaaMtirt FE. rH 1 1
