THE GREASED FIDDLE,

Cien. Horatio Kins'* Itcmlnlscences of the Old Day* on the Hlli. Next I am to relate that tn this lively "city" we had an embryo band, consisting of one printer, a judge of probate, the principal landlord of the place, and one or two other musical geniuses. Their instruments were a viol, clarionet aud two or three fiddles and they used occasionally of a pleasant evening to risk their nock* by climbing to and giving a concert on the bell deck of the old Baptist meeting house belfry, which was very high, and with its massive hewn tlmbers, could they hove been sawed in pieces as at present, thoy would havo afforded enough material to build a small cathedral. As already intimated, to reach that height was no slight undertaking, and not a little dnngerous nevertheless, those were very enjoyublo concerto, for the musicians as well as for most of the citizens |§o listened to the sweet harmony wuftwrrhrough the summer air.

There was, however, one maiden lady, well along in years—a very good, pious body, at least in her own estimation—"Aunt Kelly," who regarded the fiddle as the devil's instrument, and she misled no occasion of giving expression to disapprobation of all that sort of music. Sho at length carried her opposition—I miglifc soy resentment—so far that, returning one evening from a religious meetiug and (hiding on tho card table in the sitting room of her boarding house a flddlo, sho deliberately took it aud, with a tallow caudle, greased both bow and strings and then kicked it across tho room I

This coming to tho knowledge of tho boys in tho printing office, tho junior partuer, who whilo at the country school had been soraowhat addicted to rhyming—a penchant which, unfortunately, he has never sinco been ablo entirely to suppress—set about writing a song which was printed and sung to tho tune of "Auld Lang 8yne" with violin accompaniment by tho landlord at his hotel, evening after ovening, not only to a crowded barroom of jolly fellows, but to scores of other citizens, embracing doctors, lawyers and judges within hearing out of doors.

I wish I had a complete copy of this popular ballad that 1 might reproduco it hero. I can give only six stanzas, the first four of which, and sovcral immediately following, I know were written by tho junior partner the fifth was by Henry Carter, the bright apprentice, and tho sixth, or chorus, by the senior partner (Hannibal Hamlin), as I am gratified from his letter before mo to be able vividly to recall as ho has glveu It to me I am tho more pleased, having in ray previous iuestimable narrative, power to furnish a specimen of his handiwork in that time. No one will venture to say that, mounting their Pegasus as ho did, behind both tho junior and apprentice, ho foiled in tho slightest degree to compass tho height of their soaring genius. The song commenced:

Awake, ye muses, and attend. While I a tale narrate Poetic gods, assistance lend.

To make the whole sedate.

Then, as my memory servos me, after a brief mention of local events and a biographical sketch of "Aunt Kelly," the song ended as follows:

At church, one night, some hours the silent, So much revived was she, 6ho thought, when to her home she went*

A fiddler she must be.

So to her neighbor's room sho flew. As If on unknown wings, A fiddle front the table drew.

And greased tho bow and strings.

But. finding twould not go at that, And being hard to learn, Sho piled her foot to greasy gut

And made its bowels yearn I

Thus she her piety did show To all within the place. By trying with her fiddle bow

To aid the cause of grace. caoavs. Come, grease again tho fiddle bow

And grease again the strings, For further shall the fiddle go And louder shall it ring. Of course "Aunt Kelly'! was not alittloannoyed, and "Brother Walton," a sober, seiate and kind old gentleman, who wore deep green spectacles and walked with a dignified gait, finally came to ber aid in a long poem —long, I remember in length of lines and number of verses, in which he resolutely took ap tho cudgels for ber. W« got the job of printing it, he then not suspecting tho rogues. This was rich for us boys, and wo at once went in for a response, devoting, remember, •sveral evenings to the work. Wo had in oar office a wood stove (anthracite coal for fuel was unknown), and not to suffer hanger during oar laudable undertaking, we bought with Brother Walton's contribution any quantity of eggs at cents a dcoten, cooked them in a tin pan over the stovo, and with Medford crackers and a sprinkling of salt we fared sumptuously.

I would not undertake to say how many stanxas wo got off, but I am sore they would hare filial half a coll of our paper at least, all of which, togiu-jr with the body of the ballad and the whole of Brottxr Walton's effusion, are unfortunately lost to the literature of the age. Some of the "old folks*1 got wind of the contemplated rajotactor, and on their earnest appeal and protest that the thing gone far enough, therejotador was sappnd aud never adorned type.—Gen.

council, a potitkn for which UM&> past cxperksco eminently fits them.

Private Secretary Pearson, of Governor Beaver's office, Harrisburg, Fa.. had curious and somewhat startling experience with the graphophona He began to turn the crank and supposed that ho was about to cause the machine to give out to tho young lady typewriter a message which the governor had talbcH into it the evening previous. The young lady was all attention, .:i the private secretary began solemnly tg turn the crank, which works by a treaiDe *ro his horror and the intense embarrassment of the young lady, tbe MHowing amorous jumble was given out with decided emphasis: "Now, don't George. There-some-body will coma Of course 1 love you. There somebody really is coming, and you have mussed my hair all up. Ph»ase, love, I'm so afraid that some one will cmne in, and besides, I can't work this crank if you insist upon kissing me all tbe time."

The periods represent sounds too 'familiar to be ™They vreM the smacking of lips and other sounds which accompany the interchange of caresses between lovers.

It was some little while before the matter could be satisfactorily explained, either by the young lady or by Mr. Pearson, who at first were disposed to imagine that somebody bad been playing a practical joke upon them. The matter was finally straightened out, however, when the executive clerk came around, and, upon hearing of the incident, laughed heartily. He had, on the evening before, been showing a bride and groom about the executive department, and, being called away for a few minutes, bad left them in the private secretary's room to amuse themselves with the graphophone while he attended to tbe business which had called him away.— Electrical Review.

The Fair Stenographer's Idea of Men. The dignified girl was on the street car the other evening, and her lower lip pouted out a3 if she were at odds with things generally. "You seem out of sorts," said her companion stenographer, "what is the matter?" "Oh," replied the dignified girl, "I get sick of meu and their ways. They are messy they sling puper all over the office, and loll about on the desks and chairs in such undignified attitudes.

Fall of Block Snow.

At Altken, Minn., on April 2, 1889, At 4:45 o'clock, it became so dark that lights were necessary in business houses, and the air was filled with snow that was as black and dirty as though it had been trampled into the earth. Six ounces of snow and one-fourth ounce of dirt and sand were found in the bottom of a dish. The dirt is very fine, something liko emery, and contains particles that havo a metallic luster. This dirty snow fell the depth of half an inch. The atmosphere at tho time presented a peculiar greenish tingo. There was a little wind blowing at tho time from tho northwest, though there seemed to bo considerable wind Idgher in the air. Solid chunks of ico and sand are reported to have been picked up in various places.—Scientific American. 1 j-J

Tho Way to Rest.

Many women never rest. They seem not to understand what rest-, real rest, means. To throw ono's self down with a newspaper or book is not rest it is only a change of occupation. To fdt down and keep the fingers dying over soma sort of fancy work, as if oao were pursued by a demon of unrest, is certainly uot rest. But td lie at full length on a hard surface arms extended at the sides, head back, with uo pillow, eyes closed, all cares and worries dismissed, this is rest this will smooth away wrinkles in tho face and in temper this will give an air of repose to the tirod, anxious, nervous woman this will take away many an acha and straighten out the rounded shoulders and craned put necks.— True Flag.

yVarietie* of Olives.

The designation of queen has no reference to size, only tho variety, they being round— the others oval—in shape. The olives put up for table use by the Bordeaux bottlers are of several different varieties. The large Spanish olives, known to us as queen olives, are known to the trade as padrones Sevillas. These, by the way, are quite a distinct variety from fee other varieties frown in Spain, known as which are used for rpoVing oil, and the gordalles, having much more meat but less oil. The smaller olives put up in Bordeaux are principally of French growth and are known as amelleaux, verdalles and lucques, the latter called here crcscent olives on account of their shap?, and aro much preferred to any other for table use. Tbe verdalles have a strong, full flavor, and are much used for sauces, to be served with meats, while tbe amelleaux have a little more oil less flavor. There is also a fourth variety, known as pieholies, similar to the amelleaux in character, but larger and longer. Olive farcies are amelleaux olives stuffed with anchovies and capers. As a rule the American trade prefers the queen olives on account of their size and fine appearance, the smaller size being as large as the largest cf other varieties but in Europe the smaller olives are quite generally preferred on account of their flavor and the finer quality of the meat.—American Analyst

Eugenie's Presence of Mind. The first occasion on which Mme. Carette saw tbe empress was at a ball given to the imperial couple in the town hall at Fontainebleau in August, 1858—a fete which was very nearly ending tragically. The boll room had been installed on the upper story of the building the guerta had assembled, and the emperor and empress had taken their places, when it was suddenly discovered that the ceiling of the room was in a dangerous dilapidated condition, aud the motion of the dancers had so shaken the rickety old building that tho chandeliers over the throne were oscillating in the most alarming manner. The empress had a happy inspiration. She quietly rose, and, taking the emperor's arm, proceeded at a slow pace to the supper room, followed by the greater part of the guests. It was then possible to warn the comparatively few that remained of the danger, and request them to leave. Thus the risk of a panic was averted, and, although the ball came to a somewhat abrupt termination, there was no accident 4b life or limb.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Almost Any Color Salted Her Ten years ago Miss Nettie Green, of Orange, N. J., was married to Adolphus Black a Jersey City preacher.

Bat she was doomed to misfortune with ber husbands, and noon lost Grey also. Since then sho has been married twice, first to a Mr. White, and then to a Mr. Green. She is a widow today, and says she will make no more ventures in matrimony. While it cannot be denied that ber experience has been a sad one, there is something decidedly droll about ber having "changed colors,"* as It were, With each successive marriage, only to wind up, eventually, with her original hue.—Chicago Journal. -uj.

The Difference In Clock*. \i

There are six clocks within a radius of three blocks on Olivo street and Fifth street, and no two of them register tho same time, and the divergence between those most widely apart is often as much as ten minutes. The E. Jaccard clock at Sixth and Olive boldly announced the other morning that the time was 8:57. "Ha!" muttered a young employe of one of the well known grain commission houses "Ha! Ill reach the office in t.i ma after Was up till 8 o'clock this morning—same old story, dancing with the same girls, saying the same things" Just then the cable whizzed down Olive street and the P.-D. clock grimly pointed to 9:01. Tbe young man shifted about in his seat uneasily. Broadway was reached, Mermod-Jaccard's clock joyously proclaimed the ninth hour of tbe morning, and Bauman's clock was well in toward the five minutes past. The now thoroughly alarmed young man jumped nimbly from the car, only to be assured by H. C. Grawe's clock that four minutes were wanting of the hour. Hopelessly confused, he opetied his watch and saw that it was 0:10( half exhausted with running, he reached his office only to be complimented by bis employer, who looked at his watch, for reporting so promptly at 8:59. Electricity might be employed, it would appear, to keep these public tune pieces within reasonable limits of disagreement. At present the time is quite awry.—St Louis Republic.

Tbe Way to Silence a Donkey I have no doubt that the donkey believes Mmqplf when braying to be executing a vocal solo of the highest excellence. As some of my readers may be incapable of appreciating tho song, I will mention a device whereby the Turks induce the too vocal donkey to be silent against his will. Just as before a cock crows ho finds it necessary to stretch out his neck to the utmost, so the donkey feels himself compelled to begin his performance by holding his noee in the air and his tail parallel with his spine. When, therefore, a Turk wishes to silence his donkey he ties a tolerably heavy stone to the end of the animal's tal) and departs with an easy mind. When the donkey feels inclined to bray and begins the usual preliminaries he finds himself debarred from placing his tail at the requisite angle, and in consequence is unable to do justice to the bravura with which he was proposing to favor the world.—Rev. J. W. Wood in CbaotatiquKi

Queen Victoria's First Hooped Skirt. The following anecdote is told to illustrate tbe readiness with which Parisian fashions are adopted, even by the most rigidly patriotic of princesses. At tho epoch ol the arrival of Queen Victoria in Paris in 1866, on a visit to the emperor and empress, tho latter had just brought hooped sldrts into vogue Tbe queen forthwith sent off a messenger to purchase one for her, and an ha* next approach before her imperial host and hostess her skirts were expanded into tbe new and fashionable amplitude. But her majesty bad not comprehended the necessary methods of tying the tapes that held the hoops in place, and her crinoline presented an extraordinary and shapeless aspect. It was the emperor Mm«»if who, with his own imperial hands, set the rebellious petticoats to rights, and gave to bis royal guest a lesson as to the proper method of donning tbe new fashioned adjunct of feminine costume.—Philadelphia Telegraph.

Salt on the Sidewalks.

Daring tho last two winters salt has b?cn used to a very uncomfortable ertent in St. Paul to clear tbe sidewalks of snow and ico. The result of the application of this material has been extremely objectionable. The sidewalks are rendered sloppy, sticky and filthy for an uncomfortably lohg period. Complaints have been loud and numerous as thu tribulation of pedestrians has been incrtv It has been roticed that, aside from this result, the s: ne sidewalks where salt hash ?n persistently cpplicd havo begun toil .!:e o»T, and to lr^ 5 into a statoof disintegration. Asked at the offect of salt upon pavements cud people, Mr. Hard, chemist for the Eyan Dr.:- company, said that th-' chlr. l-.ia, which is libjrated from Uio salt v.-liun applied to snow and ice, does act upon the stono, riicintegifcting it, af:-ning it. This effect is inevitable. Hie tiaa pcraturo for several inches afcovo tho sidewalk where salt is applied is also lowered 13 or 20 degs., and is likely to be injurious to the lower limbs of those susceptible to rheumatism. "There may bo further deleterious effects," said Mr. Hurd, "but I would havo to investigate the subject more closely. I have not, indeed, given it much attention, but the effects I havo indicated undeniably follow."—St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Attacked by Wator Rats.

Owing to heavy rains, water rats have been driven to seek refuge in barns, out houses, or wherever they could find shelter from tbe pelting rain and resistless storm. A great regiment of hungry looking rodents that make their home along the banks of the Delaware and Hudson canal sought refuge one day recently In an out house adjoining the premises of a man named Simpson, who resides north of here on a knoll close by where a landslide occurred some time ago.

Becoming hungry, the rats left the out house and boldly invading the dwelling attacked babe that was lying asleep in a cradle. The mother rushed to the Infant and tried to drive off the ferocious rats, when they at once fiercely attacked her. The woman's screams attracted the attention of Charles Jones, who has charge of the audi and express coach running between here and Kingston. Seizing his whip Jones dashed into the house and a horrible sight met his gaze.

Hundreds of hufigfy rats with gleaming eyes were jumping wildly at a woman, who held a bleeding infant aloft in one arm, while with the other she tried ineffectually to "brook" the sharp fanged rodents that were climbing over her garments to get at the child. "It was a blood curdling sight," Jones said, "ouo which I shall never forget. I snapped my whip at the rats, but not until a great dish of hot ashes and coals was thrown over them did they pretend to beat a retreat. 1 made good use of my whip, watching meanwhile to see that nothing was In dang jr of Igniting from the ashes that were scattered about. One gray veteran returned over and over again to the charge, but I finally gftve him such a cut with my whip that he, too, disappeared to return no mom"

Every student knows that in close rea-1 soning parallel linos of thought are laid down and deductions eauced.

It is not our purpose at thia time to" enter into a learned discussion, and we have drawn the above visible lines simply to bring them prominently before your eyes and to ask what they represent to you.

A railroad man to whom we showed them said, "To me those four lines represent a double-track railway."

A doctor replied to the same interrogatory, "Tbe lines are to ftie the large arteries and veins lying alongside each other in the human body."

As will be observed the same liues to either gentleman suggested different lines of thought, as both looked at them through eyes accustomed to see only that which for the most part occupied their attention. To the writer both answers put an old truth in a fresh and original light.

As every intelligent man or woman knows, the blood of every living person flows with almost railroad speed through the arteries, forced by that wonder! ul engine,, the heart. From the arteries it is side-tracked through the capillaries and veins, and every drop of blood goes through the ki/dnnys fcr purification no less tnan 2,500 times' every twenty-four hours. If the kidneys be diseased the impurities of the blood containing tbe wornout tissues, and deleterious acids are not drawn out or excreted as natuie intended, but continually pass and repass through every liber of the system, carrying death' and decav with every pulsation. Unless remedied the heart becomes weakened, the lungs trying to do double work break down, the liver becomes congested, the stomach refuse* to digest food and the result is a general breakdown.

Why? -v Because thfe kidneys, the sewers of the system, are foul and stopped up, and the entire blood becomes nothing more nor less than sewage.

Now is it not criminal, nay, suicidal, toallowauch a state of things to continue when a simple remedy is within your reach, known for a certainty to do as represented, which will open the closed pipes of the kidneys, allow the eft'ete matter to escape, relieve the over-worked heart, lungs aud liver, cause a healthy appetite, put the bloom of health in your chbek, the dove of hope in your breast and the light of life in your eye?

Despairing of a cure from physicians, I began tne use of the Cutlcara Remedies, and, 1 am happy to say, with the most perfect success. His nalr Is now splendid, and there Is not a pimple on him. I recommend the Cutlcura Remedies to mothers as the most speedy, economical, and sure cure for all skin diseases of infants and children. and feel that every mother who has an afflicted child will thank me for so doing.

MRS. M. E. fVOODHUM, Norway, Me. A Fever Sore Eight Years Cured. I must extend to you the thanks of one of my customers. Vho has been cured, by using the Cutlcura Remedies, of an old sore,caused by a long spell of sicknes of fever eightyears ago. He was so bad he was fearful he would have to have his leg amputated, butts happy to say he is now entirely well,—sound as a dollar. He requests me to use his name, which Is H. H. Cason, irerchantof this place.

JOHN V. MINOR, Druggist,

jjv Oalnsboro, Tenn. Severe Sealp Disease Cured. A few weeks ago my wife suffered very much from a cutaneous disease of the scalp, and received no relief from the various remedies she used until she tried Cutlcura. The disease promptly yielded to this treatment, and in a short while she was entirely well. There has been no return of tbe dlseaiKt. and Cutlcura ranks No. 1 in oar estimation for diseases of the "kin.

E A S AGO

the Threshing Machines then in use were almost wholly of the class known as the Endless Apron" style. Then it was that Nichols & Shepard, of Battle Creek, Mich, .invented and began to develop an entirely new and novel style of Grain Thresher and Separator,which they veryappropriately named the "Vibrator."

It was a revolution in Threshing Machines, and from a smalt beginning of five machines in 1858 they soon reached a product of 1,000 yearly.

Their Vibrator drove the Endless Ajyon" machine out of market, and all other makers copied it as closely as they dared. Today all Threshing Machines of any reputation or merit use the principles of the old Vibrator. Nichols & Shepard have continued in the business without change of name, location, or management and during, the past three years have brought out and developed another new Threshing Machine for grain and seeds, as superior to all existing machines as their former was^to the Endless Apron.' They name this new and improved Thresher

The

VIBRATOR

and predict as great a revolution in the trade, and as cdmplete success over all rivals as they had thirty-one years ago. If you ore interested as a Farmer or Thresh« erman, write for particulars, which they send free. Address
