Have a ntw lock put on vour wash-staDil,

"That's a good idea," saul Uncle John,
"itV a wotuler I hadn't thought of it before."
S; anew lock was put n the watdistand
a largo rosewood case with doors iu the
front and a maible top. This would hold a
email keg of whisky, tw or three dooiij Lns,
or a couple of dczen bottles. The Dew lock
did not seem to woik very satisfactorily. A
day or two after it was ai'j-isted, the whole
store, about a d-zen stroug, was taken. A
few days after the lock was changed aain;
no use mote whisky gone mysteriously.
Fiaally a very intricate and complicated lock
was put on. Then the robbery was to st p
sure. The very next night a demij .hn dis
appeared. It was but nitural that by this time Uncle
John became a little discouraged and unhap
py. Still, he could not give up the luxury
of having something nice about him all the
time. It was pleasant to give a fiiend a
drink once in a while, and it was sociable,
aud finally ho got mad and swore he would
be doggoued if he wouldn't keep a little or
the stuff in his rcoai, and he would be dog
goncd if he would allow anybody to steal
it. So he set a trap. A new stock bad ar
lived that day, and he put it in the wash
ntacd, as usual. After the House adj 'timed,
he concealed himself in the room, and wailed.
He did not have to wait loug. He heard
iwu pairs vi iced np-tocing up 10 lilt door, i
He laid low. Pretty soon a key turned in j
the lock, and then two men entered. Fiom !
hid hiding place Uncle John peeped tut aud j
recognized t no wagis'i Democratic mem- j
lr who were find of their j .ke. but still j
fonder of Uncle John's whisky, Still Ui-le
John laid low. but kept his eyes open. The !
two men walkid stmuht to the wash stand, 1
and deliberately lifted fJT the tnaille l-p.
This was all, but it was enough for Uncle
John. He kept quiet, however, until they
h.d handed cut two or three bottles. Aud
then he stepped out and sai 1 :
ThatM do. hoys. I want the rest."
There was at first cor.stert.atiou cn one
side, as may be irr.agiuned. an! anger on the
other. but these soon gave way 1 1 1 uighter at d
laughter was succerdd by drink. It was
a good j ike on both eidrs, but Uncle John
Gvode. to the day of his death, never for

A riiOTOfirtApn Romance IIw a Lucky
Gotham (Sirl Secured a Husband. The days
of romance are not altogether passed away,
says a New York letter to the lioston Times,
if a story I heard yesterday was true. It
was & case of love at fiit sight, or rather
the love before the sight. A gentleman who
has an abundance of that agreeable article
known as money, which he has no iueliua-.
tion to spend in a wild life, had made up his
mind that he wanted to marry, lie was ac
quainted with no lady to whom he wished to
propose, so he waited fur the desired creature
to come around, as a great many people says
she is sute to do some day or other.
Happening one afternoon in a photograph
gallery, he saw a package cf cartes de visits
lying on the counter, where Ihey had been
temporarily placed, lie gaz-d intently at
the uttermost picture of the package, aud
concluded it was just the picture that suited
him.
"May I ask," he said to the attendant be
hind the counter, "the name of that lady?'
"It would be against our rules te give her
name,' was the reply. "But even if it was
not so. I could tell jou nothing more thau
the name, as I know nothing about her. not
even her residence. She came here last week
and ordered a dozen photographs, which are
promised for to-morrow."
The stranger returned thanks for thet in
formation and walked out. But he watched
the doer of that establishment all that after
noon, and every time a lady approached he
eyed her to see if she was the original of the
picture. lie was at his post next day, and
the next, and on the third afternoon he was
rewarded by seeing her. He followed her as
she went away, and, after a wearisome tr imp
among dry goods stores and millinery estab
lishments, he traced her home.
Then he went to work to ascertain who
she was, and f und that her parents were
entirely reputable people, iu moderate cir
cumstances, and that the character of the
lady herself was above the slightest reproach
Then he sought the father, state 1 li s ol j ct,
gave the most undoubud references, and did
not call again until the old gentleman had
examined them. He was introduced aud ycu
can easily guess the rest. No cards.
A Detroit man, who had contributed a
bundle of his cast tiff clothing for the rel;cf
to the victims if the Minnesota Gre receiv d
frim one of the st ff -rers the fol'owing not :
"The comn i ty man giv me amongst other
things, what be c-lled a pare ov pants, ai d

found your name an' where you live on oca

boy, se I used 'em fur gun rates. If you hav
another pare my wife wood like to pel 'em
to hang up by the side ov the fire plaso to
keep the tongs in."
Misplaced Coxfidenck. At one of our
churches on Sunday, says an exchange,
while the deep toned organ was playing vo
ciferously, a good lady whispering to her
neighbor in the pew had to raise her voice
quite high in order to be heard. Suddenly
the organ changed from loud to soft, when
the ladj, not takiDg note of the organ, was
heard to say to her friend, "We fry ours in
butter." Terhaps the congregation didn't

CURIOUS MATTERS,
A Singular, Tree. Among the plants of
Guiuea, ouo of the most curious is the can
non ball tree. It grows to the height cf sixty
feet, and its flowers are remarkable for beau
ty and fragrance, and contradictory qualities.
Its blossoms are of a delicious crimson, ap
pearing in large bunches, and exhaling a rich
perfume. The fruit resembles enormous can
n m balls, hence the name. From the shell
domestic utensils are made, and the eocteuts
C blain several kinds of acids, besides sugar
and gum, and make an excellent. drink iu
sickness.
Death Among Crows. A gentleman who
has been riding through the country, below
Buchanan, says the Fincrjutle, Va., Herald,
informs us that he witnessed a most singular
phenomenon a few days ago. A large num
ber of crows were congregated in that sec
tion, and were dying by hundreds. Their
dead carcasses were lying in fence corners,
under trees, etc., and those that were alive
could be approached and killed with sticks.
They appeared to be blind and iiying from
some unknown cause. The matter excites
considerable comtneut in the neighborhood.
The Hawk and the Weasel. Asa Mr
Compten, of SouthfielJ, near Lea, Wilts,
was walking through a field in the parish,
with his gun, his attention was engaged by
a hawk hovering over what he imagined to
be a moue. After due deliberation, he sud
den'y mane a dirt at his intended victim,
and which proved to be a weasel. The old
a!age, "catch a weasel asleep." held good
in this instance ; the weasel saw his danger
and iustautly seized the hawk by the head.
A severe struggle here ensued, but at last
the hawk succeeded in disengaging himself,
and got away. Nothing daunted, however,
he returned to the conflict as game as at first.
The struggle then recommenced, and very
soon after the weasel was seen draggiag the
defcd bawk towards the hedge, when Mr. C.
shot the weasel, and found the hawk, as be
fore described, quite dtaJ. and his bead bit
ten entirely through in several places.
An Affectionate Tigeok A man set
to wa ch a field of peas which bad been
much preyed upon by pigeons, shot an old
cock pigeon, that bad long been an inhabit
ant of the farm. Ilia mate, around whom
he had for many years cooed, and nourished
from his own crop, and assisted in rearing
umercu-i young ones, immediately settled
on the ground by his side, and showed her
grief in the most expressive manner. Tfae
laborer took up the dead bird and tied it to
a short stake, thiuking it would frighten
awij the other depredators. In this situa
tion, however, his partner did not forsake
him, but continued, day after day. walking
liwly around the slick. The kind-hearted
wife of the bailiff of the farm at last beard
of the circumstance, and immediately went
to afford what relief she could to the poor
bird. On arriving at the spot she found the
hen bird much exhausted, and that she had
made a circular beaten track round the
dead pigeon, making now and then a little
spring towards him. On the removal of the
dead bird the hen returned to the dove-cote.
A HiVER in thk Ocean. There is a river
in tb. ocoan. In the severest droughts it
never fails, and in the mightiost floods it
never ovei flows. Its banks and its bottom
are of cold water, while its current is warm.
The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its
mouth is the Arctic Seas. It is the Gulf
Stream. There is in the world no other so
majestic a flow cf water. Its current is more
rapid than the Mississippi or the Amazon,
and its volume more than a thousand times
greater. Its waters, as far as the Carolina
coasts, are of an indigo blue. They are so
distinctly marked that the line of junction
with tl..- common sea-water may be traced
by the eye. Ulten one half of the vesse
may be perceived floating in the Gulf Stream
water, while the other half is in the common
water of the sea, so sharp is the line and
and the want of afhnity between these wa
ters ; and such, to, the reluctance, so to
speak, on the part of those of the Gulf Stream
to mingle with the waters of the sea. In
addition to this there is another peculiar fact
The G l.ermen on the coast of Norway are
supp'icd witn wood Irora the tropics by thi
Gulf Stream. Think of the Arctic fisher
men burning upon their hearths the palms
of Hayti, the mahogany of Honduras, and
the precious woods ot the Amazon and Ori
noco.
A Man with a IIairv Tongce. A re
porter of the Cincinnati Enquirer has dis
covered a uegro with a hirsute tengue, at
Covington, whom he thus describes : Go
opening his mouth be protruded a long
tongne, on which natrover half an men long
was growing thickly, 'ihe color was sandy
rtd, and, as the hair sleped. backward, it
gave him pain while speaking. At the root
of each hair the flesh was blue. lie has no
hair on his face, though he says he is fu!Iv
forty years old. His wool is like that ef any
other darkey black and kinky. He is per-
r IT t r - -
tect in every iimo ana leature, except bia
tongue j and what Is also remarkable, he has
gray eyes. On questioning him he gave the
fol'owing facts: He was born in Xenia, O.,
of a white woman, his father being black.
On (ho breaking out of the war he entered a
culored regiment as corporal. Ue was wound
ed at Petersburg and at the end of the war
returned to Ohio, from whence he came to
Covington about a year ago. He has none
of the idioms of the negro, and except a
thickness of speech. ctued by the growth of
ha;r on his tongue, his pronunciation is per
fect. He is employed by Blick & Phillips
as a coal heaver, and any one wishing to do
so can see him and bis tongne. He has no
hesitation in making faces for those who call
on him. Very few rersons in the city of
Cevington know ol this Tree show.
The Laughing Plant. In Palgrave's
"Eastern and Central Arabia," we are told
some interesting facts concerning this singu
lar plant. The active principle appeurs to
reside principally in its seeds. These seeds,
when powdered and administered in full ju
dicious quantities, produce effects similar to
those produced by the celebrated langhing
gas of Sir Humphrey Davy. The person
to whom the drug is administered, laughs,
sings, dances, and conducts himself in the
most extravagant and ludicrous style. After
an hoar of this intense excitement, he falls
asleep, and, upon awakening, is totally un
conscious of anything that he said or did
while under the influence of the drug. It is
a common joke to put a email quantity into
the coffee of some unsuspecting individual,
in order to enjoy a laugh at his antics ; and
it is said that, when judiciously given, it has
never produced any evil effects. The plants
which bear these berries grow only in Ara
bia. In Kaseem it hardly attains the height
of six inches above the ground, while in
Gman it has reached the height of three or
four feet, with widetspreadiog limbs. The
stems are woody, and when stripped of the
bark have a yellowish tinge ; the leaf is of a
dark green color, acd pinnated, with abont
twenty leaflets on either side ; the stalks are
smooth and shiniog ; the flowers are yellow,
and grow in tufts, and anthers numerous.-
The fruit is a capsule, stuffed with greenish
padding, in which lie imbedded two or three
black seeds, in size and shape much like
French beans. Their taste is sweetish, but
with a peculiar opiate flavor. The Etuell is
orerpeweriDg and almost sickly.

VEGETABLE SICILIAN
HAIR
RENEWER
Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring Ueay oe Jb aied
IIaib to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
it removes all eruptions anu uaiiui uu,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In baldness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create a new growth, except
in extreme old age. It is the most
economical Hair Dressing ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap
pearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and I
consider it the Best Preparation
for its intended purposes."

which will neither rub nor wash off.

Sarsaparilla
Is widelj known
as one of the most
effectual remedies
ever discovered for
cleansing the sys
tem and purifying
the blood. It has
stood the test of
years, with a con
stantly growing rep
utation, based nn its
intrinsic "virtues, and sustained by its re
markable cures. So mild as to be safe and
beneficial to children, and yet so searching
as to effectually purge out the great eo
ruptions of the blood,"such as the scrofulous
and syphilitic contamination. Impurities,
or diseases that have lurked in the system
for years, soon yield to this powerful anti
dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful
cures, many of which are publicly known,
of Scrofula, and all scrofulous diseases,
Ulcers, Eruptions, and eruptive dis
orders of the skin, Tumors, Blotches
Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St.
Anthony's Fire, Kose or Erysipe
las, Tetter, Salt ltlieum, Scald
Head, Binjrworm, and internal Ul
cerations of the Uterus, Stomach,
and JLiver. It also cures other com
plaints, to which it would not seem especi
ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep
sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease,
Female Weakness, Debility, and
Lieucorrhoea, when they are manifesta
tions of the scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health and
strength in the Spring. By renewing the
appetite and vigor of the digestive organs,
it dissipates the depression and listlesf lan
guor ofthe season. Even where no disorder
appears, people feel better, and live longer,
for cleansing the blood. The system moves
on with renewed vigor and a new lease of
life.
