MACBETH.
Macbeth was a Highlander, from Highland
county, Ohio.- He was distantly related to the
Highlands of the Hudson. He early emigrated
to Scotland, where he first attracted attention
as a Brigadier of Militia. One night, while
crossing a lonely moor, coming home from a
general master (pretty well peppered), he was
ocosted by three witches, one of whom cried,
All hail, Macbeth, Thane of Clam Chowder !"
While another saluted him "King of the Can
sibal Islands I" They all united in a chorus
of "Hoka, poka, waka fum," all of which
liad the effect to greatly inflame the ambition
of the General. Thane he was already, but
there was one slight difficulty in the way of
Lis being King the position was filled. Dun
can held the throne, and it was evident to the
most casual observer that Dunoan wasn't such
a donkey as to abdicate in favor of Mae or any
ether man. He wrote to his wife all about it,
hinting that he would like the situation of
King, should there be a vacancy, having held
almost every other office, from Alderman of
Lis native village, up.
Mrs. Macbeth was a 6trong-minded female,
generally understood by the neighbors to wear
the breeches. She couldn't wait lor Duncan
1 to pass away in the regular course of nature,
.so she ef god Macbeth on to hasten his demise,
and possess the throne. An opportunity soon
'cflered. The King one night having re
mained down town until the street cars had
stopped running, was foroed to stay over night
at the Macbeth residence. Mrs. Macbeth
showed him every attention. Sue gave him
the spare bed-room off from the parlor; had a
fire built in the parlor stove; hot water for
Lira to wash in, eto. etc. When the good
King had .retired, Macbeth and his wife con
sulted together as to the best plan for remov
ing him from a world of trouble. It was at
length arranged that she should get his ser
vants drunk on "apple-jack," while he carved
the aged Duncan. (She would have done it
iV, , had not resembled Mac
lath's father-in-law, as he slept
Macbeth steals on tip-toe to the King's
led-chamber, and shortly returns with a dae
g,r in each hand staled with scopeberry
juice. The deed is execute and stamped,
and only requires to be registered. He y '
Tery pale and trembled violently, Wnil
seized with that remorse of conscience which
very villain feels after committing crime
until he is satisfied that he isn't going to be
caught at it.
He is troubled about the scopeberry juice
en his hands, and wants to know if there is
Water enough outside of temperance organiza
tions to wh it oil'. She tells him that a
little turpentine will easily fix that. He starts
at every sound, and seems to hear a voice
Which savs, "Bleep no more I Macbeth doth
murder sleep," adding something to the effect
that Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup would be
unavailing in the future to insure to him a
quiet nap. DinguHted with his timidity, she
anatehes the daggers from his hands, and
Leaiing them to the front parlor, places them
the tides of the king's servants, who are
drunk under the piano. This is for the
purpose of fastening suspicion upon them as
the guilty parties, It being the well-known
custom of murderers to lie down and go to
sleep, immediately after butchering a gentle
man, with the gory implements of their pro
fession in theif hands.
Just before daybreak the door bell rings;
McDaff, a Scotch nobleman of Irish extraction,
who had been up all night at a Fenian ball,
had stopped to inquire if the King was stirring
yet, not knowing that the King wouldn't stir
any more. Macbeth directs him to the best
bedroom where the King lies. He goes there,
but quickly returns, with the startling an
nouncement that the King has been mur
dered 1
Macbeth takes on terribly about it, of course,
Mrs. Macbeth comes in in her night-gown and
is carried out in a swoon; the neighbors are
aroused,' and a messenger is despatched at
once for the Coroner. Macbeth stabs the
KiDg's servants, and tells the jury at the in
quest that he couldn't help it when he saw
what they had done he never was so morti
fied in all his life.
The King's sons leave the country, fearful
that the malady that had carried off their
father might run in the family, when Macbeth
starts a rumor that they were implicated in
the assassination, and appoints himself King.
Henceforth his career is one of blood, ably
supported by Mrs. Macbeth, who, like the de
voted wife that she was, did all she could to
promote her husband's prosperity.
They killed Uanquo, one of King Duncan's
generals, but his ghost persisted in sitting at
their feasts, which didn't improve their appe
tites particularly, and was very uncivil in the
ghost. They carried on a general slaughter
ing business for some time, but at length
M-.Dufl' raised a regiment of Fenians, and after
vanquishing the "Queen's Own," put all that
the KiDg owned to flight, when Macbeth was
killed in a hand-to-hand fight with McDuff.
His last words were "Lay on McDuff, and
d d be him who first cries out, Scotch suuffl"
and McDuff laid on with such ell'eot that Mao
beth was soon knocked out of time.
Mrs. Macbeth fled to America. The last that
was heard of her she was stumping Kansas,
under an assumed name, in favor of female
suffrage. Cincinnati 'limes.
TBE WALKING MANIA.
A Collector Want to Bet A Han Offers
to Walk Around the Uloba A Lover
Told to "Wtlk"-"l'ukuoirn" Will
htrctclt Ilia ls III, riugmuiut, auto.
1!Y "ilU8."
From the Cincinnati Times.
The walking mania, starting from Portland,
has reached Cincinnati at length. A gentle
man doing business here, who of late ha3 had
a great deal of exercise for his legs in running
around and making collections, thinks he
can do more walking, with less effect, than
any other man in America. He is ready to
bet money on it. He hasn't been able to real
ize much of anything by his walking thus far,
and desires to turn the training he has re
ceived through the exercise to some account.
He wants to bet any sum from $500 up that
he can walk the streets on a dunning expe
dition for two weeks, and collect less money
than any other business man in the city. Will
anybody take him?
Another walklst offers to walk around the
globe without stopping to eat, sleep, or rest,
provided some school-hou3e will lend him the
use of one of their globes. He is constrained
to do this in order to raise money, which he
don't like to work for.
A voHnc man who has been paying close
attentions to a young lady of this eity, with a
view to matrimony, or any other money sin
may chance to have, grew chivalrio the other
night, and offered to undertake almost any
task, however difficult, to prove his love and
devotion. "Bid me," said he, with true
knightly rhapsody (although he wasn't worth
a ran), "bid me tame the lion in the jungles,
or restrain an office-seeker on., his way to
Wa&hington, and I will do it. Ask me to climb
the loftiest peak of ice-crowned Himmaleh, or
address a tumultuous assembly of women's
Debts women in opposition to female sutirage,
and it is done. Command that I should bring
snow flakes from the torrid skies of Africa,
or an iceberg from the sulphuric waves
of "
"Hold," cried the maiden, "you can more
easilv win mv commendation and contribute
to my pleasure. There is a youth, Weston his
name, who, starting from Portland on the
Maine, is even now stretching his legs with
eager intent towards Chicago. Imitate his noble
example and"
"What?"
"Walk!"
He took the hint, and walked.
We have received the programme of a pe
destrian trip about to be undertaken by a Cin
cinnatian, who signs himself "Unknown," as
he desires to make it "unbeknownst" to his
family. He proposes to accomplish the stu
pendous feat of walking six days inside of
two hundred miles. The following is his pro
gramme:
First Day. Starting from the Tost Office at
6 A. M., walk to Paddy's run; take breakfast
on the Run, and then walk to Hell Town (other
wise Cumminsville), where he will be taken
in hand by Benedict, of the Millcreek House,
who will have him blanketed and rubbed
down with a ten-pin bad. While eating din
ner he will be arrested by the Marshal f Cum
minsville for fast driving. Benedict bails him
out with a sap bucket, when he continues on
his way. He walks to Cheviot by the bowlder
pike and remains overnight.
Second Day. Walks to Gaston's Creek, by
way of the "Sharpsbuig Cut-off," where he
arrives at noon. Refreshed at Gaston's Creek
with a cracker and a gallon of beer. Reach
Hamilton, -in the State of Butler, at night-fall.
Hospitably entertained over night by Ben.
Churchill, of the City Hotel. Serenaded by
(Bob) Christie's minstrels.
Tuied Day, If his feet are sore he will
walk on his hands to Ban turn, where dinner
awaits him. His dinner will consist of leg of
mutton, chicken legs, leg of a turkey, calves'
liver, and pigs' feet, washed down with
Waller's ale, a diet well calculated to
strengthen him on his pins. After dinner ho
will walk into Felicity, where he will prooeed
to walk into his supper, if he has sufficient
strength left to do it. .
Fourth Dav. After a difficulty with the
landlord about his bill, he will walk off on his
car. fctop at a blacksmith shop at noon to be
shod. Lunch. Continuing on his way, reach
New Richmond at nightfall. Retire early, after
Lathing his feet in neat's foot oil.
FirTu Day. After breakfast walk on board
the Mary Anient, ami wuUc the hurricane deck
until the boat arrives at California, when, if
the water isn't too cold, he will give an exhi
bition to the paBHenftera of "walking the
plank." As it will r- quire several hours to
resuscitate him aftr this trying performance,
and as he will be several miles ahead of time,
he will remain at Caliioauiaon exhibition until
the following day.
Eixni Dak. lit? will Walk Uto ClncianaU
by the "Rollins' Cut-off," which follows the
windings of the river, reaching here at lour
o'clock P. M.
A banquet will be given him on his arrival,
at the Clarendan Hotel, If he will pay for it.
Manager Miles, of the National theatre, has
tendered him the use of a private box to see
John Owtns, at the usual rates. Cartes de
visite of the "Unknown" for sale at van Loo's,
In case he succeeds. If he fails, they will be
given away. Responsible gentlemen will ac
company "Unknown" on the trip, to see that
he don't run any while he walks, or ride while
going on foot. A special correspondent oi the
Cincinnati Times will be alone with a tele
graph apparatus on a wheelbarrow, to send
despatches every five minutes, exclusively for

A Tight Money Market.
In 1858 the extreme trouble In financial
affairs drew forth many humorous effusions
from the pr ns of lome unfeeling wretches,
v. hose productions may In one case be slightly
altered to suit admirably the present lime.
Hanging 'round the oorners,
Boring every friend,
Sneaking into banks
Nothing there to lend
riteously begging
Of every man you meet;
Bless me 1 This is awful,
Such tightness on the street.
Merchants very idle,
Praying for a chectt,
Want to keep a-going
Stretch it neck and neck:
Dabblers in stocks,
Blue as blue can be,
Evidently wishing
They were "fancy free."
All our splendid railroads
Have such awful props,
Twenty thousand Bulls
Seem to hold their stocks;
Many of the Bears
In the troubles sharing,
Now begin to feel
They've been overbearing.
Ripky speculators,
Tumbling with the stock,
Never mind the stopping,
More than any clock;
Still they give big dinners,
Smoke and drink and sup,
Going all the better
For a winding up.
"National" Institutions,
Companies of "trust," .
With other people's money
Go off on a bust;
Houses of long standing
Crumble out of sight
With so many "smashes"
No wonder money's tight.
Gentlemen of means
Having lots to spend
Save a little sympathy,
Nothing have to lend;
Gentlemen in want
Willing to pay double
Find that they can borrow
Nothing now but trouble.
Half our men of business
Wanting an extension,
While nearly all the others
Contemplate suspension;
Many of them, though,
Don't appear to dread it;
F.very cent they owe
Is eo much to their credit.
Currency is contracting,
Credit all is cracked,
Women all expanding,
. As if to counteract.
Uneasiness increasing
Where will the trouble end ?
Every one would borrow,
But no one has to lend.
Dodging round the corners,
Trying every source;
ABking at the banks
Nothing there, of course;
Money getting tighter,
Misery complete
Bless me 1 but 'tis awful,
The tightness on the street.
Piquant Pellet. ,
The Chinese in California are a curious
"institution." They are shrewd, and have'a
vein of dry humor which sounds especially
quaint when delivered in their queer "pigeon
English." One of them, in San Francisco,
met a prominent Democrat the other day in
the streets of that city, and spoke thus unto
him: "Say, what for Haight he no likee
Chinaman ? . He Gubnor now; he makee all
Chinamen leave, you tinkee so ? What for all
Democlat allee time talkee dam Chinaman?
Chinaman allee same Demoolat, no likee nig
ger, no likee Injun. Bime-by Chinaman vote
allee same Mellican man, I guess so, what you
tink ? Democlat heap taxee Chinaman ten
dollar one month, no can pay, too muchee I"
The "Demoolat's" reply is not given.
"Never," said Theodore Hook, "let man
and wife play together at whist. They are
always telegraphs; and if they fancy their
looks are watched they can always communi
cate by words. I found out that I could never
win of Smigsmag and his wife. I mentioned
this one day, and was answered, 'No, you can
never win of them.' 'Why ?' said I. 'Be
cause,' said my friend, 'they have established
a code.' 'Dear me! signals by looks ?' 'No,'
said he, 'signals by words. If Mrs. Smigsmag
is to lead, Smigsmag says: 'Dear, begin.'
Dear begins with 7, so does diamonds, and out
comes one from the lady. If he has to lead
and she says, 'S. my love,' she wants a spade.
'Harriet, my dear, how long you are sorting
your cards.' Mrs. Smigsmag stumps down a
heart; and a gentle 'Come, my love,' on either
side, produces a club."
Dr. Jenner once sent a couple of ducks to a
patient, with the ac'ompanying epigram:
I've despatched, my dear madam, this sorap of
ft ldtt r,
To ay that Miss Luoy is very much better;
A regular doctor no longer stio IuuRh,
And. therelore.rveaeul her a couple of quacks.'
Impromptu, in answer to the foregoing:
'Yes, 'twas polite, truly, my very good friend,
Thus 'a couple of quae Us' to your patient to
send;
Since there's nothing so likely as 'quacks,' it Is
plain.
To muke work for 'a regular doctor, again."
"Oh I the Snow, the Beautiful Saow,"
will soon boast as many paddies at "Kxcel
sior." List to these imaginative lines on the
'Tail of the Pup:"
"Oh I the pup, the beautiful pup!

THE RESULT.
In a review of tbe above statements and certifi
cates (the truth of which Is beyond cavil), tbe fol
lowing facts are demonstrated beyoud a question:
Fhst, That Ullie's hilled Iron hale will burn up
two 01 the steam Patent sales, one alter the other,
the composition walls both being equal, and still be tit
lor use.
Second. The t LUlle's Bale Is thoroughly flre-proot
beyond a doubt.
'! bird. 'J hat I.lllle's Bare, as now tonde, Is proof
against tbe drill, wedge, and even sledge the oui
practical Implements In the hands ol burglars, nuj
tbe evhleii ;e of Us superiority over all other burglar
niool safes Is, that no other maker had the ooiillilonce
to even operate on M. lie's, or place their own lu com
petition, the test having been publicly annnuued for
a long lime, and lree lo all to operate upou It, and
without response.
The object ol the fire proof test was not to show that
LilHe's Sale was lire prool. That ha beeu proved
in hundreds of cases in tires the most Intense even
In great contlagrat Ions hut to ascertalu what ail vitu
tages the Jioston steam Putent lias over the c million
uielhod of tilling Hales, and the result shows most
clearly that Ha only advantage Is the extra thick
nets of the walis, if the leH Is fairly made. As I )
the thickness of walls, It cosis no mure to make
the ctmpoHiilou walls six inches lliuu three
Inches, but tbeslx-inch wail In a lull-sis-d Nate con
tram the room Inside about one half aud tbe buyer
Fiajs 1(260 lor the name room with a slx lti h wall itial
is would get for i&r with a three-Inch wall; aud If a
three-Inch wall will stand any lire required, an I.lllle's
Sale will, llieu the extra thick nws is ns'dess. lint it
Is no test to pli ce a three-hit I) against a six-Inch wall,
a- the latter would stand a lunger tiro lhau two of
the others, b tn sates uiadti Just alike.
The kind of Sale wanted Is a Huilloent flre-pronr to
stand any heat required, and still mure a Uiornugh
burglur proof. 'I hestallstlcs showat least i(i line l,is
by burglaiv from Sates to f I by lire, and Lillli-'s Is Ibe
only practical lire and bnrg'ar-pronf safe made at any
price the nisjoniy can allord to pay. .
The two Sales burned In tbe furnace (tbe regular
test), and the I-ate tested as a hurijlar-proof, are now
In my store. No. . rch street, Justus the tire and
the cpeiaiori left them; and every man Interested in
specially Invited lo examine the bales and judge for
uiiusuU as-to their merits.
