A Jmqav Joke. A case came before
a Gettiuui Judge iii Chicago, in which a
young taan pleaded the minor's acL The
Jude wouldn't take the young man's oath
as to his age, and even when he brought
family Bible the old follow scowled, and
said lie didn't believe the Bible nor any
thing iu it. t
Ha,' he said, 'youdiuks pekausdot pook

'Uut,youi honor.'pleaded lawyer I toy tic,
we have a man here who lived on the same
street and in the same bouse with my
client, and he will swear that the young
man is only niueleeu years old. The wit
ness remembers the very night he was born,
He went for the doctor, your honor, aud he
was born just nineteen years ago.'
Xo, Mr. Hoyue ; I gives my judgment
against dot young man. I can't take any

PiiOViNo an Alibi. The followiug took

A clergymen once preaclied a very
long semon from the text :
Tbon art weighed iu the balance and
fonnd wanting.' ' -
After the congregation had listened about
on hour, some began to grow weary and
went out, others soou followed, greatly to
the annoysvoesj of the minister. . Where
ipoi t stopped in his sertuou and said :
'That is right, gentlemen, as fast as you
are weighed pass out'
No one else passed out.
A Geumax who had not jHud much at
tention to learning English, had a horse
stolen from his bam one night, whereupon
he advertised as follows :
Vou nite, de oder day, ven I vas bin
avake in. ray sleep, I hear someting vat I

When old Lord Holland lay dying
Oeorge Sclwyn, who had a morbid love for
seeing corpse's, executions, deathbeds, and
the like, was a constant visitor of his. If
Mr. Selwyn calls to-morrow,' said the mas
ter of the bouse, 'be sure he is admitted ; for
if I am alive I shall be glad to see him, and
if 1 am dead he will be glad to see me' a
stroke of humor only surpassed by Sclwyu
himself, who, when the friends of Charles
James Fox were discussing a project for
paying his gambling debts, and wondering
how he would take it ; that is, if he would
not be oTcnded at such an offer ; 'Take it !'
cried the wit; wby, quarterly, of course.'
A Well-Knows man of fashion recent
ly engaged an Irishman as valet. The first
morning he rang for his servant and or
dered him U bring his boots. In two or
three minutes the man made his appear
ance with one buttoned boot and one Well
ington, which his master naturally eyed
with the greatest astonishment What on
earth have you got there, Dennis ? Are
you mad ? Couldn't you find any other
boots in my wardrobe V 'Oh, yesk sir,' re
plied the Irishman, 'there 'p another pair
like this 1' .
A yocng bootblack olwerved a neighbor
poring wisely over a newspaper, whereupon
he addressed him thus : 'Julius, what are
you looking at dat paper for ? You can't
read ?' .'Go away,' cried the other, indig
nantly : 'guess I can read ; 's big enough for
dat.' 'Dig enuff!' retorted the other scorn
fully ; 'dat ain't nuffin. A cow's big 'nuff to
catch mice, bat she can't.'
Mabv,' said John Henry, as bo reclined
in the arms of his loving sweetheart, 'can
you tell me why my head at present is like
what I was last uight ?' 'No, dear ; why
is it f 'Because,' murmured John Henry,
abseutly, 'it is ou a bust.' The resem
blance was not discernible the next mo
ment. A Cleuotman, iu a strange parish,
wishing to know what the people thought
of his preaching, interviewed the sexton,
and asked him what the people said of Mr.
Johnson, his predecessor. 'Oh,' replied
tle sexton, 'they say he isn't souud. 'Well,
what do they say of the new minister ?'
Oh, they say he's all sound.'
'What do you consider the object of
legislation ? 'The greatest good Ut the
greatest number.' 'What do you consider
the greatest number ?' continued his lord
ship. 'Number one, my lord,' was the
commoner's prompt reply.
At a recent moeting of a society com
posed of men from the Emerald lse, a mem
ber made the following motiu : 'Mr. Presi

ceiling green, in honor of the owld flarg.'
A N ERGO who had learned to read, wish

'The day U Dot far distant,' say a

Iron in the Blood
MAKES THE WEAK STRONG,
The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect

Iron, is so combined as to have
the character of an aliment, as
rasifif digested and assimilated
icith'the Mood as the simplest
food. It increases the quantity
of Xatnre's Own Vitalizing
Agent, Iron in the blood, and
cures "a thousand ills," simply
b Toning up,Invigorating and
1 italizing the System. The en
riched and vitalized blood per
meates every part of the body,
repairing damages and waste,
searching out morbid secre
tions, and leaving nothing for
disease to feed upon.
This is the secret of the won
derful success of this remedy in
curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com
plaint, Dropsy, Clironic Diar
rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections,
Chills nntV Fevers, Humors,
Iioss of Constitutional Vigor,
Diseases of the Kidneys and

and all diseases originating in
a bad state of the blood, or ac
companied by debility oraloia
state of the system. Jieing free
from Alcohol, in any form, its
energizing effects arc not fol

tion, but are 2ermanent, infu
sing strength, vigor, and nciv
life into all parts of the system,
4tnd building up an Iron Con
stitution. Thousands have been changed
by the use of this remedy, from
weak, sickly, suffering crea
tures, to strong, healthy, and
happy men and women; and
invalids cannot reasonably hes

THE Kl. 1IAKBER SHOP
IS THE SHOP OF THE TOWN and long
has been ; ask history and she will tell you .
Men have grown old In our patronage
Babies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And among the honored and lasting impres
sions of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, wc st.ind a living monumental
memento of the Ingenuity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, and aspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our humble capaci
ty, and the sentiment of respect and approbation
which the presence of superior appliances and es
tablishment arc always wont to inspire.
. Always to please
We shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then, allow me politely request you to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of the ballot for prin
ciple sacred and right nor under the common
secret and invidious guise of enmity to complex
ion ; for the cut of a man's coat, or the color of
his ekin, ought not to ancct his usefuluess nor
his qualifications. A fair chance is all that we
demand, to give the proof to all the land.

Th Colorado Potato BEin.it. We have on
several occasions drawn our readers' attention
to this great enemy of the potato, but if the
hundredth part of the reports we bare of its do
ings In the west were only true, it would still be
worth while to have weekly notes of caution on
the part of potato-growers east to look out for
him. We do not, for instance, believe that my
raida of the beetles start for the nearest church
ipire when .they arrive In a new neighborhood,
and smilingly watch tbe farmers for miles aronnd
dropping potato sets, and calculate to an hour
how long It will take for them to drop just down
on them as they push through the ground to de
vour the whole crop ; but we do believe it ia, figu
ratively speaking, worth our potato-growers'
while to look from church-steeples or auy other
intellectually high place that will aid him In see
ing the destructive insect before he comes loo
near.
Every day we are learning some new fact
about the destructive power of the thing. In
the case of most insects they appear only at cer
tain seasons. If we keep them iv for a few
weeks we are safe for the rest of the year. We
have supposed from what we have read about
the Colorado beetle that it ravages were con
fined to midsummer and autumn, bnt the Cham
paign, Illinois, correspondent of the Cotutry
VtnUtman tells ns that It appeared in that sec
tion this season as early as the twelfth of May.
It is by no means certain that the insect will
be very troublesome this side of the Alleghanies.
There are little peculiarities of climate which
insects can detect, though we with all our science
cannot, which are often to work to restrain cer
tain species withh. certain limits. It is not in
nature that any one thing shall override the
earth. We have in the east a small beetle with
three lines instead of ten, as in the Colorado one,
and much smaller every way, which feeds on
the potato, though not to any serious extent,
wmcn specie we believe is not known in those
regions where the great enemy abounds. It may
be that each of these is'to keep to its own
boundaries. It is also true rhat though a few
scattering cases have occurred of the insect hav
ing been caught in Pennsylvania, and no doubt
there have been hundreds not seen for every one
taken, they have not as yet made themselves
seriously felt.
We have some hope from these considerations
that we may escape, and our seaboard States
become the potato-growers for the whole Union;
bnt this is mere speculation, and we would not
have our friends abate one Jot of their interest
in making themselves acquainted with the insect
or in keeping a sharp lookout for him. Gtrman
tomt Telegraph.
Kemedt fob thi Striped Bco asd Colorado
Potato Beetle. Take one part Paris green and
fifteen parts calcined plaster; mix well, and
with a common dredging box dust the vines
when wet or dry. Once or twice geneially is
sufficient. It may be nsed, with great care, on
squasncs, mnskmelons and cucumbers. The
watermelon, however, does not bear such treat
ment, I give my experience iu the business,
limited as it is, because I know with what diffi
culty cucumbers and other vines are protected

To the above we would add that Paris green
mixoJ with tweuty parts of flour or the same of
plaster, scattered over the leaves of the infested
vines, will destroy the larva of the potato bug.
A small tin box eith the bottom punched full of
holes, like a common pepper box, attached to
the end of a short stick, will answer for dusting
poison over the vines. An application should be
made npon the first appearance of the small
larva npon the vines, and repeated as often as
necessary to keep the pest in check. Neighkora
should unite in this war upon the beetle, and if
they will do this there need be no failure of the
potato crop. Paris green can be purchased at
any of onr drug stores. JCuUUtoitn Journal.
Th New Scbstitcte roa Coal. It was
stated a short time ago that a Belgian peasant
had made the extraordinaty discovery that earth,
coal and soda, mixed together, would burn as
well as, if not belter than, any other combusti
ble. The fact has since then been proved be
yond a doubt. The parisian paper, the JfoniUnr,
has gong so far aa to make the experiment at ita
printing office. A correspondent of the Journal
f Uh Society of ArU has aiso tested the com
pound with the most satisfactory results. Tha
mixture was made as follows: To 15 1b. of
mould were added 3 lb. of powdered coal; also
one pint of a solution of common washing soda,
water, on pint ; soda, one ounce. The mas
was worked np after tbe fashion of mortar, and
then made into balls about the sua of a large
orange. Half a dozen ball ia the wet state
were pnt on a coal fire, which was not burning
very brightly. In a short time the moisture was
driven off, and the ball quickly became red-hot,
giving out a strong heat, and apparently burn
ing slowly without falling to pieces, the soda no
doubt acting as a lux. The ball, on being
touched with a poksr, broke into lumps, which
burnt like cinders, yielding a fire dear at tha
top. It was observed that alter the moisture
was driven off (he ball burnt without smoke.
The ash was apparently of a heavy character,
different from coal ash.
Packixq Plants to Travel Loss Distances.
In packing plant for transmission to distant
places, Dr. Thurber sayj there is more danger
from too much than from too little moisture.
The best packing material I sphagnum or bog
most, and thi should be just so damp only as
to bo ' elastic to the touch. Plants packed in
this, If not too damp, will remain for week un
injured ; that is, if the plants are at rest. An
other thing is to pack close. If sending by post
take a piece of strong brown paper ; lay the Just
damp not wet moss upon it ; put the plants
upon the moss, aud more mos over the plant.
Then begin at one end of the paper and roll np
hard, secure with a string, and then put another
paper over for directions. So, in packing in
boxes, use the moss just damp, and have the
box full and crammed down hard, so that there
can be no possibility of moving or shaking in
transit.

Ham Cake. A capital way of disposing of the
remain ot a bam and making an excellent dish
for breakfast is : Take a pound and a half of
ham, fat aud lean together ; put it into a mor
tar aud pound it, or pass it through a sausage
machine ; boil a large slice of bread in half a
pint of milk, an beat it and tbe ham well to
gether ; add an egg beaten np. Put tha whole
into a mould and bake a rich brown.
Paper Pillows. Excellent paper pillows may
be made of old letters-the stiffer the paper tbe
better. Newspapers will not do. The paper
should be cut into slips, and rolled round an
ivory knitting-needle ; it is then almost like a
spring, and make a much better enshon than
the torn paper, being more elastic.
Roecmatism Remedy. One Samuel Deaton,
Cbristiaatburg, Ohio, who had the rheumatism
nineteen years, says the following U what cured

AitT is.Greeshoisks. Lump of soft putty
are excellent traps for ants. Lay them around
where the ants most frequent, and as soon as
the lumps are stuck full of them, work the putty
over, ants and all, and re-set the same lump as
a trap again.
Feepixo Calves n Transit. The best way.
it to take a large basket of eggs along, and when!
tbe calf begins to make too much noise, break
one and thrust it down his throat, shell and all.
This will satisfy them for some time, when It
may be repeated. Fed la this way they win ride
quietly, and will not shrink half so mnch.
