JOLLY N1GTHS 15 THE TAVERN.

A Famous Fiddling Match Which Laated TU1 Iybralc XHtnclnjc on Eggs. A tradition of the tavern is the story of the fiddling match there in the winter of 1831 between Artenms Lester, of Canterbury Green, and Henry Brown, of Hebron, says a writer in the New York Commercial Advertiser, describing a New England hostelry. They were rival country dancing masters, and each had sworn to. outfiddle the other. It was 1 o'clock in the morning when the two were placed side by side, with just room enough to draw their bows in between them. Both had been "Hipped to repletion. The tunes were selected by the landlord, and neither man was allowed rx stop playing for more than a minute. Long before daybreak the players were so overcome with cider and fatigue that they fell asleep in their chairs, but, so the story goes, still kept fiddling on. The audience retired one by one, lead ing them done. Next morning at 10 o'clock the Hebron champion was found quietly slumbering on the floor. Lester was still frantically sawing off a Virginia reel and shouting in his sleep : " Sashay out; form a line and balance tight and left! Some old frequenters of the tavern still recall the egg-dance, which was given there forty years ago. This novelty was announced to follow a grani bail and it drew a crowd. Henry Cottrell, the famous practical joker of Norwich, was to produce a man who would dance an Irish jig on a fix of eggs without breaking them. "OldHazeD," accompanied by his son on a yellow clarionet, had tired out the dancers by midnight. A huge box, filled to the brim with eggs packed on end in hard sand, was placed on the floor, and in stalked Henry Maynard, a young Franklin farmer, a perfect specimen of an old-time jig dancer, who had frequently boasted that his step was so light that he could dance on eggs without breaking them. He began his evolution with a blare of the music, and continued amid the plaudits of the crowd, now on the eggs and now on the floor, fully proving his boast no idle one. Finally he retired amid roars of applause. It was a splendid achievement, said every one, and, as the box of eggs was dragged from the room, murmurs of dissatisfaction were heard. "Go on I go on! echoed from all parts of the great room. Cottrell speedily ordered the egg-box in again, and told the dancer that the people insisted upon a repetition of the performance. Maynard needed no second bidding. Intoxicated with his triumph, he again renewed his feats on the flocr with a dexterity marvelous to witness. At length he alighted on the eggs. They crashed under him, his feet slipped, and he sank in the deluge of golden yelks. The eggs were well beaten before he could be rescued, and when at last he was set upon his feet, his crestfallen appearance raised a laugh that echoes still in Norwich. During the intermission Cottrell had had Maynard's china eggs replaced by specimens of the genuine article. The Corsiean Upstart. The Freneh revolution had not only shocked and horrified the sober-minded folk of Europe and, we may say, of America also by its atrocities and bloodshed, but it had brought about a state of things which was to the ruling classes of the continent and England a standing outrage upon the fundamental

principles of society and government. Here was a "Cor mean upstart at the j

head of France; his ministers were men risen from the ranks; his code, which he rigorously imposed on all the territories which he either conquered or annexed, made all men equal before the law, and rendered an aristocratic government impossible. The walks of life were thrown open to all; any man, no matter how humble his origin, might be an officer of the army, might even become a marshal of France. The spectacle which the empire of Napoleon presented, moreover, was most encouraging to the growth and spead of the new ideas and the new system, France, Belgium, Holland, the German States on the Upper Bhine, Italy, had all adopted, to a greater or less extent, the new doctrines, and they were all in a condition of unexampled prosperity, despite the wars of the last dozen years. The new monarch, too, was plainly a restless, scheming, ambitious man. He and his system ought to be overthrown ; the safety of society, the interests of public morals, demanded it, to say nothing of the balance of power, which was greatly disturbed by the excessive preponderance of France. The state of feeling at this time in Europe was, as respects this subject, wholly different from that which exists to-day. It has now been found, by experienee, that these contrasts in the ideas and forms of government existing in contiguous countries do not necessarily, or even generally, lead to war, or even to the introduction into the more conservative countries of the liberal notions of their next neighbors. But in the last years of the Imt century, and the first years of this, almost everybody in Europe thought dilerently. Scr timer's Magazine.

On the crest of a hill at Chester, close by the roadside, the founder of the greatest family of light harness horses sleeps. The grave is inclosed by a frail picket fence, and a marble slab bears this inscription :

The little gate which opens from the road is barred by a large stone, and he who would stand upon the sacred soil must climb the feuce. A young elm is growing sfbove the ground and thirty feet feet is a wild cherry now in blossom. The dandelions glow like great drops of gold in the tender grass, and an atmosphere of sweetness and quiet bathes the hill. The great horse rests not more than one hundred yards from the stable which sheltered him and among the very scenes of his triumphs. He made Mr. Eyadyk a rich man, and surprise is often expressed that he was not more generously remembered in the will. But Mr. Kysdyk was an odd character. He once became disgusted with horses and offered, as Mr. Gavin well remembers, all his stock, including Hambletoniaa, for sale. Only a few neighbors attended th$ auction, and as no bids were made the stallion was preserved to him. Some goddess of good fortune seemed to interfere and ward off the evil. As Mr. Rvsdyk's income increased he gratified his passion for land proprietorship, and farm after farm was added to the modest homestead. Nearly all these lands have passed from his descendants, and now strangers are asked to subscribe to a fund for erocting e, monument over the grave of Hambletonian.

the white ant. In Africa, their houses are dome- shaped mo un ds often eighteen feet high. These insects erect pyramids one thousand times higher than themselves! The ants on their travel so conceal their approach that their presence is not expected until the damage is done. They usually tunnel into any object which" they attack, often reducing it to a mere shell. In this way they have been known to ascend within the leg of a table, devour the contents of a box upon it, and descend through a tunnel bored in another leg, all in one n'ght. An officer of the English army while calling upon some lad es in Ceylon was startled by a rumbling sound. The ladies started with affright, and the next instant they stood with only the sky above them; the roof had fallen in and lay all about, leaving them miraculously unharmed! The ants liad made their way up through the beams, hollowing them out until a great part of the framework was ready to fall at the slighest shock. Charles Jft-ederick Holder, in SL Nicholas. As Many Women as Mem There are still a few theorists who justify polygamy On the ground that more women are born into the world than men, but the theory has long been exploded. August Bebel, in Ins remarkable work, recently translated into English, shows that in ten states, with a population of 250,000,000, the excess of females over males was only 2,500,000; and when we remember the extent to which men outnumber women in the colonies, and the fact that in India there are 6,000,000 more men than women, the natural inference is that if the inhabitants of the earth were distributed according to the sexes men and women would be found to exist in about equal proportions.

Havoc by a Chureh Mouse. The soft strains of an organ in an Episcopal church in Connecticut were floating on the air, and the congregation were just composing themselves for prayer, when the profound silence in the church was broken by a piercing hriek. A hundred heads were suddenly raised from devotion to set) what was the matter. At the same instant that the ;hriek rang through the church, a young woman who was shiging in the choir gallery leaped from her seat and jumped so high that she very nearly fell over the gallery rail and down upon the heads of the people bqlow. She continued to contort her body violently, explaining to her associates that "there is something- on my back. The organist, a young man of nerve, played through to the end of his music No one saw anything unusual on her back, but finally; to satisfy her, the organist took off her plush cloak, and there, cos ly i bed upon the top of her bustle, stft a mouse, bright-eved, and paralyzed with terror.

A FAIR AND BUSINESS-LUKE OFFER TO INVALIDS. We earnestly invite you to come, me and examine for vrursclf our institutions, applitinceSj ad vantages ind success in curing chronic diseases, liave a mind of your own. Bo not listen to or h'ed tho counsel of skeptical friends or jealous physicians, nfho know nothing: of us, our system or treatment, or means of cure, yet who never loe tin opportunity to misrepresent and endeavor to prejudice pcoplo against us. We are responsible to you for what we represent, and if you ome and visit us, and find that we have misrepresented, in any particular, our institutions, advantages or success, wo will promptly refund So jroo all expense ol your trip. We court honest, sincere investigation, have no secrets, aact&re only too glad to Show ail interested and candid peoplo what we (ire doing for Buffering humanity. KOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SEE PATIENTS.

By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic diseases Just as successfully without as with a personal consultation. While we are always glad to see our patientB, and become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and familiarize them w:tth our system of treatment, yet we have not seen one person in live hundred whom we have cured The perfect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the most minute particulars in their several departments, appears almost miraculous, if wo view it in the light of the early ages. Take, for example, the electro-magnetic; tolegntph, the greatest invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy which enables an operator to exactly locate a f racture in a submarine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our venerable clerk of tho weather " has become so uhoroughJy familiar with the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately predict their movements. He can sit in Woshin;(rton and foretell what the weather will be in Florida or Hew York as well as if several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the places named. And so in ail departments of modern science,

So, also, in medical ticience, diseases have certain unmistakable f0Cieir signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, we uitfuaoi have been enabled to originate and perfect; a systern of determining, with the greatest accuracy.

the nature of chronic diseases, without seeing and penionally

eraminlcg our patients.. In recognizing diseases without a personal examination of the pi.tient, we elaim to possets no miraculous powers. We obtain our knowledge of the patient's disease by the pnurtical application, to the practice of medicine, of well-established principles of modern science. And ft lit to the accuracy with which this system hais endowed us that V owe our almost world-wide reputation of akillf ully treatise lingering or chrc-uio affections.

COMMON SENSE AS APPLIED TO MEDICINE. It Is a well-known fact, and one that appeals to the judgment of every thinking person, thit the physician who devote his whole time tc the study and investigation of a certain class of diseases, must become Uc&ter qualified to treat audi diseases than he who attempts to treat every ill to which flesh is heir, without giving special attention to any class of disease, Men, in all ages of the world, who have become famous, have devoted their lives to some special bfeanch of science, art, ox literature. By thorough organi;tIon, and subdividing the practice of meiicine and surgeiy In this institution, every Invalid is treated by a specialist ono who devotes his undivided attention to the particular class of diseases to which the case belong. The advantage of this arrangement muft be obvious. Medical science offers a vast field for investigation, and no physician can, within tnt brief limits of a life-time achieve the highest degree of success in the treatment of every malady incident to bunuuiity

I belioving no condi tion of humanity is too I Nfl APnidCV I wretched to merit the sympathy and beet I Wi wruuwai. ser rices of the noble profession to "rhich we mmmmammmm belong. Many who suffer from these terrible diseitses contract them innocently. W iy any medical man, intent on doing good and al deviating suffering, should shun such cascc we :annot imaging'. Why any one should consider it otherwise than most honorable to cure tho woist cases of these diseases we annot understand; and yet of all the other maladies which afflic t mankind thtre s probably none about which physicians in general practice know so little. We st all, therefore, continue, as heretofore, to treat wit l our best consideration, s y-nipathy, and skill, all applicants who ere i suffering from any of the&e delicate diseases., Oitnjrn ir Uftur Most of tliese cases, can be treated when at a UUKlcO AT nuML distance Just a well as if here in person.
