SAM PATCH.

. The One© Celebrated Jumper—His First and Last Leaps «A grizzled old farmer named William -P. Brown was in town the other day, says a Middletown letter to. the New York Times, and fell to giving reminiscences of Paterson as he* remembered the place sixty years ago. “I was born bn Manhattan inland,” he said, “when all the upper part was nothing but farm lands, and I went to work in a cottonspinning factory in Paterson as sweeper and errand boy when I was 11 years old. Paterson was a small afair too, but one of the owners was Sam Patch, who afterward became famous as a high jumper. Isaw him make his first bigjumpat Passaic falls. “The story of the jump is this: Sam Patch and a man named Brannigan were partners in the factory and theyfailed in business. Sam was a Cape Cod man by birth and had been a sailor from a boy up till he came to Paterson. He was a daring aud reckless fellow and could swim like a duck. It was said thjit while he was a sailor he often exhibited his skill and daring by jumping from the high masts of ships into the sea. After the failure Sam Patch hung around Paterson with nothing to do until he was pretty hard up. Then, I suppose, the thought occurred to him that he could make a raise by jumping off the rocks at Passaic falls. Ho notice was given that

at a certain day and hour Ham Patch would jump off the cliff at the falls into -the river below, a distance of about eighty feet, for a purse of SSO, made up by some of the sports of the town. Few people believed that he would make the jump, but there was a big crowd on hand to see it all the same. “Sam came to the falls stripped to his undershirt and drawers. He showed no fear or nervousness, but his face was flushed, as I thought, by drink. He took a couple of small stones in his hands and went to the brink of the cliff and dropped them off one after the other,and watched where they struck the water down below. Then he walked back a few yards and turned and took a little run to the brink of the cliff and jumped off, clearing the rocks about ten feet. He went down feet first, but with his body inclining considerably to one side, and in this shape he struck the water and disappeared. A few seconds later his head bobbed up at a point down stream, and he began paddling for the shore. Then the crowd gave him a big cheer. “Ham’s jump at the Passaic falls was considered a maryelous feat in t£ose days and made him famous the country over. Ho he took to jumping for money from the masts of ships and 'from bridges and other high places, and went about the country giving exhibi-

tions. Unfortunately for him, too, he '. took up another practice that soon cut his career short. I didn’t seeliim make his last jump at the Genesee faffs, at Rochester, Nov. 13,1829, but, but those who did see the tragedy tell me that when he approached the brink to make the leap of 125 feet into the seething pool below he was dazed and unsteady from drink. He made the jump so bungingly that he struck the water flatwise instead of feet first, the concussion •crushing in his breast and sending Tfls dead body to the bottom like a stone.”

Presidential Candidates.

Below is a table in which are arranged the Presidential candidates of the two great parties—the first column of names giving the successful candidate, the other his unsuccessful opponent. It is a valuable tabulation of facts: ltß9 George Washington No opposition. 1792 Georne Washington No oppo itU.n. 17% John Adams Thomas Jefferson 1800 Thom a Jefferson John Acams 1801 Thomas Jeffei>on OO Pinckney 1808 James M*discn C C Pit ceuey 1812 Jsmea Madison De Witt Clinton 1810 James Monroe hums King 1820 James Monroe No opp' atilnn 1824 Jonn Q Adams Andrew Jackson 1828 Andiew Jackson John Q Adams ■1832 Andrew Jackson Henry Olay 1880 Martin Van Buren Wm it Harrison 1840 WmHsrrisou Martin Van Buren 1K44 James K Polk .Henry Clay 1848 Zacharv Tavior Lewis Cass 1852.

It is pointed out that three times therein is shown the renomination and success of the principal candidate who was defeated at the election next before. This happened in the instances of Jefferson in 1800, Jackson in 1828, .and Harrison in 1840. Once, irr'the instance of Pinckney, in 1804 there was such a renomination and a repeated defeat. On the other hand, the fact is equally patent that in sjeven cases there have been re-el eetions to the Presidency for a second term—in the instances .of .Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant.

SOME ODD THINGS.

A citizen of Canton, Miss., drives a pair of pet bears in a buggy. Bearing dogs for their skins is practiced ed in Manchuria and Mongolia just as sheep farming elsewhere. Grand Island, Neb., has a citizen 73 years old who is just now through with his attack of whooping cough. Santa Armado, a lad about 16 years old, on Wednesday a week ago caught a 154-pound tarpon with a hook and line out in the river opposite Fort Myers, Fla. - * -

One of the quaint characters ip Portland, Me., the other evening, was Benjamin Fuller, a Pittston farmer, who has read books two hours a day for forty years, and has a bigger library in his head than any man in Maine. At Brunswick, Ga„ a man named Tilton had an alligator that was being fed on ice cream. Mr. Tilton neglected to give his pet the usual amount of cream one day last wfeek, and the next morning the reptile was dead. Cretone of the cheap sort, used for decorating rooms, turns out to be as arsenically poisonous as green wallpaper. Out of forty-four samples recently examined in London none were free from arsenic. The greens and blues were the least harmful, while reds, browns, and blacks were heavily loaded with the poison. The skill with which dock rats board a vessel by running along her cables has long been a terror to ship-ownei s. A protector has just been invented in the shape of a big tin funnel through which the cable runs. The big end Of the funnel faces the shore, and the rats cannot surmount it. A few days ago a notice was sent from the interior department’ calling upon a party in Bronson, Fla., to pay 3 cents for an excess of two-hundredths of an acre of land included in his homestead entry. As the notice was sent by registered mail, costing 12 cents, Uncle Ham is out on this collection, The dugong, a species of whale taken in large numbers at Queensland, has probably furnished the slender basis of fact upon which the mermaid and merman stories are founded. It is about eight to twenty feet in length, lives upon submarine beds of seaweed, breathes by means of lungs, has a humanlike head, with hair resembling a man’s beard. The flesh of the animal is eaten, and is said to have the flavor of beef, veal, or bacon, according to the part of the body from which the meat is taken. Its oil has all the medicinal qualities of cod liver oil without the disagreeable taste and smell of the latter.

Citizenship of the Chinese.

Chicago Inter Ocean. There have been much difference of opinion on this question and some important decisions of State courts, but the question has not been authoritatively decided as yet. The alien act of 1870 contains this clause: “The provisions of this title shall apply to aliens being free white persons and to aliens of African nativity and to persons of African descent.” Judge Sawyer, of the United States Circuit Court in California, decided some years ago that this clause excluded the Chinese from the privileges, of naturalization. Several Circuit Judges’ have followed this decision, but the New York Court of Common Pleas has taken an entirely different view, several Chinese having been naturalized in that State. Other States have in a few instances admitted Chinamen to naturalization privileges, but the United States has not yet decided as to their right to do so. An interesting case, that may result in an authoritative statement as to the rights of the Chinese, is that of Yong Hen Chang, a young Chinaman who has been educated in this country. He is a Yale College graduate, and after taking the regular course at Columbia College law school he was refused naturalization papers. The New York Legislature passed a special act last spring authorizing the State Supreme Court to waive the question of his alienage, but the court declined to do so, and, refused to admit the applicant to the bar on the ground that aliens can not practice law. Chang subsequently procured his naturalization papers, and renewed his. application to the cour% but the matter has not vet been decided.

The Learned Pig.

General Horace Porto r in June Century. —At a country station on one of our railways a pig used to be a constant visitor, and drove a thriving business in picking up stray grains of corn which dropped from the bags as they were loaded on the cars. One day the pig’s greed so far overmastered his discretion that his tail got nipped between the brake-shoe and the car-wheel, and when the train started the tail was jerked out by the root. The victim of this sudden catastrophe was now confronted with the dismal prospect of having to navigate through the rest of his life-with his steering apparatus a total wreck. He continued coming to the station after that, but whenever he heard the clatter of an approaching train he hurried off to a safe distance and backed up against a brick wall ti H,JLh£..caxs .lud. wasnevergomgdopennjthimself to be subject to the risk of such an indignity again, even though there was no longer any tail left to be pulled out. He had acquired sufficient railroad experience to appreciate the magnitude of the loss of terminal facilities.

DRUGGIST'S PROFITS

Anything Less Thau Fife Hundred Per Cent., Considered Small. Chicago Herald, ■ “Five grains of tannic acid in four ounces of distilled water,” demanded one bf the Herald readers of a corner 'druggist, the other day. The customer, who had occasion to use the astringent wash called lor, had brought own bottle along. “Ho# much?” he asked, after the solution had been put up. “Twenty-five cents,” said the druggist, unblushingly. The customer stood for a mohient. then he paid, and went out and took liis lunch at a dairy shop instead of Charlie Kern’s place. This was necessary, because his wife keeps tab on his pocket money and Liebotslianer beer is ten cents a glass. Retail druggists pay 30 cents per ounce for tannic acid and 40 cents per gallon for distilled water, if they don’t make the latter themselves. Hence the ingredients asked for cost the soda fountain man 1 5-16 cents —1 cent for the water and the balance for the constituent part of the solution. In charging 25 cents the druggist made a .fraction over 1,000 per cent, profit,which beats the plumber. The chances are that if the customer had presented a physician’s prescription instead of the verbal order he would have been charged 50 cents, 25 per cent, of which would have gone to the prescribing doctor at the monthly settlement. The little incident explains why down town druggists can afford to pay such exorbitant rents as are asked for locations like those on the corners of Madison and State and Madison and Clark % streets. The latter stand, upon a lease now about expired, cost *12,000; the former stand—a room 20 by 16 feet - not less than SIB,OOO. There are many remedies asked for by suffering humanity and paid for at a rate that would make a pawnbroker, with his paltry 120 per cent, rate of interest, turn green with envy. Chemicals are sold at apothecaries’ weight—one pound of twelve ounces, the ounce to eight drachms, the drachm to three scruples, and a scruple of twenty grains. Hence there are 5,760 grains in a pound. The reader is perhaps aware of the beneficial effects of bromide of potassium. He is apt to call at his druggist’s the morning after a “session” for a dose of bromide “in his’n.” He is charged 25 cents—by the way, there seems to be nothing cheaper than a quarter in a drug store -of which amount 10 cents is for the bromide and 15 cents for the benzine. The retail druggist pays 75 cents for a pound of bromide, hence 10 cents for the usual dose —3 grains—means more than 1,000 per cent, profit for the druggist, the cost to the latter for the 3 grains being not quite 1-28 part of a cent. The sober man’s stomach may “get out of gear” as well as the toper’s. He is apt to call for a quinine pill or two,* These pills are usually purchased ready made by the druggist. They are sugar-coated and generally of a grain apiece. The retail druggist would pay about 75 cents per ounce for quinine. The wholesale manufacturer has it for about half that price. The pills retail at the rate of a cent apiece, but many druggists charge twice that amount. The average dose is three grains, for which ten cents is charged. Five grains wouldn’t cost any more, but many people hesitate to take that much “at a lick.” Now, 10 cents for three grains means nearly 500 per cent. Verily, the plumber could learn from the druggist.

Advantage of Being Red-Headed.

Philadelphia Record. There are only two red-headed men in the Kirkbridge Insane Asylum of the 165 persons who are being treated there at the present time. According to Dr. Edward N. Brush, who is the superintendent of the institution, the old theory relative to the susceptibility of lighthaired people to insanity was exploded years ago. A tour of the asylum showed that all the inmates, e'xcept four, were of decidedly dark complexion, and even’ the four exceptions were by no means light. In the famale department of the asylum the same fact is noticeable, and but a few light-complexioned women were to be seen. “It used to be a popular opinion among the uninitiated that most insane people were light-haired,” said Dr. Brush, “but that is not so. The reason for this false supposition I cannot understand, nor can I account for the fact that we have so many dark-haired people here. I suppose it comes in a natural way, though, because there are a great many more dark people than light.”

Nourishment for the Weak.

The very best nourishment for invalids and children is the juice pressed from a steak or mutton chop thoroughly trimmed and boiled about five minutes. The meat for this purpose should be cut at least threc-quaters of Aiui»eb4hiefe The juice may be extracted from the meat by a lemon-squeezer or a meat-press, which comes tor this purpose. ~ An old lady in Virginia goes into her JJKhardeyeryevening and^tllTJaingher face toward the North, prays fervently for the recovery of General Sheridan.

CURED OF MALARIA.

22 Florida St., Elizabeth, N. J., l March 17, lbß4. f I have been using Allcock’s Porous Plasters for the last five years. Home two years ago, after having been sick for upwards of six months with malaria, I found myself with an enlarged spleen, dj speptic, and constantly troubled with a headache, and my kidneys did not act very well either. Having spent most of my money for medicine and medical advice, I thought to save expense I would use Allcock’s Porous Plasters, two on the small of my back, one on t p spleen or ague cake, and one on the pit of my stomach, just under the breastbone. I continued using the Plasters about thirty days, changing them every week. At the end of that time I was perfectly well, and have remained so ever since. *

Remarkable Surgery.

The science of surgery has made such wonderful progress in modern times, that the most intricate and delicate operations are now undertaken and carried to a successful issue. There are now several well authenticated cases of what is known as pneumotony, that is to say, the removal of diseased portions of the lungs in cases of consumption. While, however, this delicate operation has sometimes been sucessfully performed, the risksattendingitare so great, and the chances of recovery so slight, that it is seldom resorted to. The safest plan in consumptive cases is to us© Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This will always cure the disease in its earlier stages, thoroughly arresting the ravages of the terrible malady, by removing its cause and healing the lungs. Pitcher is in trouble in Canada and Bowles is in abad fix in Chicago. What’s the matter with all the crockery?

The New Prize Story

is eagerly sought for, read with pleasure or disappointment, is then tossed aside and forgotten. But ladies who read of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, read it again, for they discover in it something to prize—a messenger of joy to those suffering from functional derangement or any of the painful disorders or weaknesses peculiar to their sex. Periodical pains, internal inflammation and ulceration, readily yield to its wonderful curative and healing powers. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the -bottle-wrapper, and faithfully carried out for many years. Prince Bismarck is. allowed but two dishes at his dinner, by order of his doctors. _________ “Yes; I shall break the engagement,” she said, f olding, her arms and looking defiant; “it is really too much trouble to converse with lain; he’s as deaf as a post, and talks like he had a monthful of mush. Besides, the way he hawks anck spits is disgusting.” Don’t break the engagement for that; tell him to take Di. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. It will cure him complejely.” “Well, I’ll him. I do hate to break it off, for in all other repects he’s quite too charming.” Of course, it cured his catarrh.

Daughters of America. Do not attempt to make cake without Complete control of the fire. Thin cakes require a hotter fire than thick ones. The oven should be the right heat to begin with and not be allowed to cool while the cake is in it or it will certainly be heavy. Cake made With molasses burns more easily than any other. Thin cake should bake from fifteen to twenty min* utes. Thicker loaves from thirty to forty minutes; very thick cake one hour in an oven in which you can hold your hand to count moderately twenty-five and not be able to add a minute to that number. Fruitcake requires two or three hours. Divide the baking into quarters. The first quarter, it should simply rise; second quarter, continue to rise and brown; the third quarter, grow a uniform golden brown; a little, brown in the cracks and cleave frdmythe pan If. a cake rises in the middle, stays up and cracks open, it is mixed too stiff. When “new process” flour is used take one-eight less than any secipe calls for.
