THIS wasn't Talmage: A preacher, in order to draw a full house, announced that on a certain Sunday be would show his congregation something they had never seen before ind never would again.

AN example ot Texas life: Two owners of a teaai of horses and a wagon were conveying four passengers on a frontier journey. Two of tbe passengers murdered'tbe owners of tbe outfit, and the other two, to save their own lives, agreed to share in the plunder. Upon nieeting a Sheriff tbe innocent men gave information ef the crime, and the murderers were pursued and overaken. One of the murderers was captured, but the other sheltered himself behind a bush and opened fire. In return the bu»h was made a target. A Sheriff's officer was martally wounded, but before dying be kilted the man who bad been maae a prisoner. Soon the firing from the bush ceased, and an in eatlgallon showed that it* occupant was dead, pierced by several bullets.

HOW TO EAT AN APPLE. There is no fruit more serviceable to people than the apple, not only as luxury, but as a wholesome, nutritious food.

Apples contain Bugar, gum

much malic acid, and some valuable mineral matter. It is true that apples often produce indigestion and flatulence but generally the cause is to be found in tbe manner in which they are eaten. It may not be known, but it is true, that an apple contains a great quantity of fixed air, and if eaten hastily this air passes into the stomach with tbe pulp before it is liberated. In the stomach it becomes heated, expands, and causes flatulence in persons with weak diges tion. Such persons should choose fresh, mild, tart apple with a silverbladed knife peel off the skin, aud then scrape the apple to a fine pulp now place it in the mouth and thoroughly mix it with saliva before swallowing it. This Is very important. It may be placed on a thin slice of bread and eaten with it. If it is too troublesome to scrape the apple, then it should be chewed until every cell is broken down and the air liberated. Many believe apples are mo.re_wholesome it taken in the morning. If this is true it is only because then the stomach is more vigor ous. Thousands of the Swiss peasants make their entire supper on apples and bread, and thus preserve good health and nourish their bodies well. Physiologically, the apple acts as a stomachic

A LONDON correspondent of ike$ew York Times explains the remarkable change which has taken place in tbe spirit and style of GeoTge Eliot's writings by the statement that her bus band, a well known literary man, does the heavy part. He says:

Aeorge Eliot, aa everybody knows, was the nom de plume of Miss Evans, who commenced ber career as an author in Blackwood's Magazine. During ber early life she made tbe acquaintance of a heavy critical philosopher, Mr. Lewes, a writer In the Saturday Review, IFortnightly Review, and other high class periodicals. They discovered a Platonic affection for each other, and after a time were married. Ever since this partnership, Mr. Lewes has guided, mere or less, the pen which wrote "Adam Bede," and his thoughts were easily diacerni ble in "Mlddlemarch." On tbe tve of publication ol that notable work, here viewed it in the Saturday and Fortnightly (anonymously, of coursei) and pronounced- it to be a splendid effort of genius. In literary society he now proclaims himself the joint author of "Daniel Deronda." He wrote every line of the chapter which describes tbe discussion at the club to which Mordecai introduced Daniel. Such a club is this really had an existence in London, uu der the presidency of a Jew, upon whom Mr. an* Mrs. Lewes modeled Mordecai. The admirers of Mrs. Lewes are not pleased with this literary partnership, and they say, most truly, that the critical philosopher has destroyed the classic

CARRYING A LADDERt Did you ever see a person carry a ladder? He puts It on his shoulder, 01 maybe he puts his head between tbe rounds aud nas one of the sides resting on each shoulder, and having it nicely balauced, walks along. A man with a ladder is an interesting object in a crowd ed street. He looks at the end before him, but tbe end ehind he can not see. If he moves tbe front end to get out of the way of a person, away goes the rear and just as far in the opposite direction, and the slightest turn 01 his body, only a few inches, will give tbe ends a sweep of several feet, and those in tbe way may look out for bruised bats and bumped beads while tbe window glash along tbe 8reets is in constant danger from the unseen rear end of the ladder. When a snriaU boy, I was carrying anot very arge ladder, when there was a crash. An unlucky movement had brought the rear end of my ladder against a window. Instead of scolding me, my father made me stop, and said, very quickly "Look here, my son, their ia one thing I wish you always to remember: that is, every ladder has two ends." never bave forgotu that, though many, many years ave gone, and I never see a man carrying a ladder but I remember tbe two ends.

SOUTHERN HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. [New York Time*.} The Bangor Whig is in possession of little curioeity—"Tbe New School History of tbe United 8tates." It is a text book in use in the public schools of Virginia and in other parts of the sooth, prepared from tbe rebel stand joint, and perverting the facta of recent ilstory with almost amusing skameIpsMiess. Tbe war for tbe onion ia termed "tbe sectional war." and Mr. Lincoln "tbe sectional president."

Of Bntler it ia said that "be reserved the name ,f 'Beast,' and by tbe common consent of Europe «nd Aroerii-a that name has become historical." Robert E.

me and my medicines, by those who inlagiAe tlieiir pecuniary prospects In-

the continued growth of m\ professional practice. Narrow-minded pnotltlon•rs of flMtUeinar and mauufrcturers of preparations which do not possess sufficient merit to Btiotosafalliy compete for popular favor, have resorted to such oowardly strategy aa to publish all sorts Of ridiculous reports about tbe composition of my medicines. Almanacs "Receipt BOOKS," and other pamphlets, are issued and scattered broadcast over the land, wherein these contemptible knaves publish pretended analyses of my medicines, and receipts for making theta. Some of these publications are given high-sounding names, pretend to be issued by respectable men of education and position, fa* tbe good of the people the moro completely to blind the reaaer to the real object In their ciroalatlon, which te to inlnre the sale of my medicines. "The Popular Health Almanao" is tbe high sounding name of one of these publications, which contains bogu receipts, without a grain of truth them. Not less devoid of truth are thot|, which bave bean published by one DrJ L., of Detroit, in tbe Michigan Farmer, and by other manufacturers of medicines, in several so called journals of Pharmacy. They are all prompted by iealoasy and utterly fail in accomplishing the object of their authors, for, notwithstanding their free circulation, my medicines continue to sell mure largely than auy others manufactured in this country, and are oonstanily Increasing in sale despite the base lies conoooted and circulated by such knaves. Tho people find that these mediciues possess genuine merit, accomplish what their manufactures claims for them, and aro not the vile, poisonous nostrums which jealous, narrovy minded phvstcians and sneaking compounders of competing medicines'represent tbem to be. Among tbe largo number of pretended analyses published, it is a significant fact that no two have been at all alike—conclusively proving tbe disbonAsty of their authors. It it»enough for tbe people te know that while thousands, yec, I may truthfully say millions, have taken my medicines and have been cured, no one hsu over received injury from their use.
