As far back as 1842 flourished in Cin

he Kuife" first became known 10, the
k \
ch as professionally dishonest when,
545, he was caught, wish. two other
tiers, in the act of robbing a jeldelry
on the Landing. He managed to
;„gle out of this case, shortly after
u. , he left the city amt, went to Pitts
,-v.h, Cleveland and Bunk!, and even
rther East, committing many crimes,
and almost invariably escaping detection.
In fact, it was not until ue uecatue well
litnown to the authorities of. Buffalo, and
..was at' length detected in a steamboat
(robbery at that point, in 1850, that he was
[convicted and forced to serve five years.
Returning to Buffalo in
,1856, and thence
to Cleveland and Chicago, Watson,, in a
:drunken broil in a drinking saloon at the
last named city, drew a knife upon Wm.
'Webb, the Captain of the schooner :ticrth
Star, and cut Limy in such a manner that
he died of his wounds. Watson escaped
',the immediate vengeance that even this
,zerime should have brought upon him. In
\ fact, his identity was, not lady establish
'ed, and the police had no clue, along
'hich to follow to his arrest. However,
:shortly after his father's death, the son,
'John Webb, a young man of twenty
;years, learned from one of Watson's
former associates of' Chicago who it was
;that had made him fatherless. Obtaining'
a minute description of his person, in.
'eluding a note of a scar across his fore
head that could not be easily forgotten,
lie took every step in his power to have
'oloa brought to justice. But all efforts to
' . h;qiend proved 'fruitless, as Watson had

Webb went to the bad, under the

glass of whisky into his face, and then
:eery coolly shot him six times with a re

~;three mortal wounds. It appears that
they were sitting side by 'side at a faro

race closely, and finding in it every mark

and managed to learn from
Watson that he was in Chleagtfan March
of 1856, the time of the murder.

' This settled it with Webb. He didn't

then, as Watson:earnest him, commenced

FACETLF.,
. Marriage . Fee.
In Virginia, where the law fixes the
marriage fee at $l, there is a reminiscence
of a couple who many years ago called
on a parson and requested him to marry
them.
"Where is my fee?" said the functionary.,
The parties who were to unite their
fortunes did so at once and found the
oint amount to be twentyseven cents.
"I can't marry you for that sum," said
he irate old gentleman.
"A little bit of service will go a long
way," suggested the male applicant.
"Ab, no," said the parson, 'you don't
pay for the size of the pill, but for the
good you hope it will do you."
The lass, intent on marriage, began to
weepwe
, the parson was inexorable, and
the couple turned sadly to depart. Just
then a3lippy thought seemed to strike the
forlorn maiden, and she turned and cried ,
throush her tears: "Please, sir, if you
can't Marry us full up, won't you marry.
us twenty-seven cents' worth; we can
come for the rest some other time."
This Was too much for the parson. He
married them "full up," and they went
on their way rejoicing.
Modern Reading Books.
The Detroit Free Press wants modern
improvements worked into school read
ing -books, and offers the following as a
sample of the sort that would be up to
the spirit of the age:
"Here is a man, Here is a fireman.
He belongs to No. 10. If you are a good ,
boy, you will some day be an angel like
that fireman. It is a dingerous thing to
be a fireman. They sometimes get their
heads broken.
"Do you see that small boy? He is a
good boy and supports his mother by sell.
ing newspapers. His father don't have
to work any more now.
"Herea the picture of a young widow.
See bow 'sad' she looks. Her husband.
could no pay her 'dry-goods' bill. and
so he—died. Do you think she will get
anotherian? She will try hard."
"Her is the face of a reporter. See
how joyru/ he looks. Ho has just heard
that a m: it has cat his own throat, and he
is going for the item. Should you like to
be a re a orter, and get licked on dark
nights, a ad see dead persons, and climb
up: four pairs of stairs?" . .
The giGreclan.”
In on: of his morbid turns of mind,
when he could conjure up the most gro
tesque horrors, Edgar A. Poe had a vis
ion of the Grecian bend. He puts
the following words into the mouth of
"Scherazade," in his tale of the "Thou
sand and Second Night," in the travels
of "Sinbad, tho Sailor." Says Scheid-
Bade to the King
"One of the evil genii who are perpet
ual on the watch to inflict all ihas. put it
'into the heads of these accomplished la
dies that the thing that we describe as
personal beauty consists altogether in the
region which lies not very far below the
small of the back. Perfection of loveli
ness, they say, is in the direct ratio of
the extent of this hump.
"Having been long possessed of this
idea, and bolsters being cheap in that
country, the days have long gone by since
it was possible to distinguish . a woman
from a dromedary —"
"Stop," says the King, "I can't stand
thut, and I won't."
WHAT HE WAINTED.--"Fellow-citi
zens," said a stump orator, "we have the
best government in the world and the
best country. No people on the face of
the globe enjoys more privileges than we
do. We have the liberty of the press
without onerous despotism. What, fel.
low•citizens, is more desirable than this?
Can you want anything more, my coun
trymen?"
'Yes, sirr-eel" shouted a listenp, "I
want another suck out of that flask stick
ing out of your coat pocket behind!"
THERE is a gentleman in Bangor who
is so absent minded that meeting his
son on the street a day or two since; he
extended his hand and inquired: "How
do you do? When is your father coming
home?" This equals an absent minded
man in Worcester, who, on receiving` a
letter from his son, glanced at the sig
nature and proceed to consult the direc
tory tolearn personality of his cor
respondent.
A STORY is told of a soldier in the
army whose only fault was that of drunk
enness. His Colonel remonstrated with
him:
"Tom, you are a bold fellow and a
good soldier, but you get drunk."
"Colonel," replied Tom, "bow- can
you expect all the virtues of human char
acter combined for sixteen dollars a
month." •
"I wit!. bet:you a bottle of wine," said
a gentleman to his friend, "That you will
come down out of that chair before -I ask
you twice." "Done!" replied the friend.
"Come down!" cried the other. in will
not," said his friend; with much- obsti
nacy. "Then stop till I ask you a second
time," said the other. Perceiving that he
would never be asked a second time, the
gentleman in the chair came down in a
double sense.
"A YOUNG wife remonstrated with her
husband, a dissipated spendthrift, on his
"My love," said he, "I am only like
the prodigal son—l shall reform by,and
by."
"And I will be like the prodigal son
too," she replied," "for I will arise and
go to my father ; " and accordingly off
she went.

is the only way to cure consumption. .
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of nulmonaryConsumption. The Pul-

The great, reason why physiclaws do not cure
Consumption' is, they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chllta,to
stop night sweats, hectic fever and by so doing
they de range the , whole digestive powers. lock

sinks and dies. .
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try, to
stop a cough, night sweats, chilb or fever. He
