ELY BROTHERS, liruggists, Owego, K. Y. It was a capital hit and well deliv ered, full between the eyes. It sent the recipient, a gaudily-dressed fop. spinning into the gutter, much to the detriment ol his tine apparel ; and served him right for insulting an unprotected girl, whose hurried step and timid manner betrayed her un easiness at being alone on the street at such an hour. Having done his duty in the premises, and waiting to see the be spattered coxcomb pick himself up ungracefully and slink away abash ed and cowed, Ned Armour turned to see what had become of his protege. She was trembling, as though fright had arrested her steps. Her pale lace, on which the light of a neighboring lamp chanced to fall, was of surpassing beauty ; and Ned, bung as gallant as he was brave, begged permission to see her safe home. In sweet, gentle voice, with a slightly foreign tinge, she accepted the rfler, and the two walked off to gether, for tbe most part in si lence. " Will you not come in, sir?" said the girl, stopping at the door of a plain-looking house. w My father, I am sure, will wish to thank you for the kind service you have rendered. lie is an inva.id, and it was an er rand to procure him some necessa ries, that took me out to-night." Ned accepted the invitation, and that was the beginning of his ac quaintance with M. Bertrand and Lis charming daughter Marie. Ned Armour was the junior of a law firm of which his uncle, Mr. Banting, was the head. He had but little love for the profession, but had entered into it to please bis uncle, to whom he owed everything, his rearing included. It is safe to say that after the adventure just related he spent two evenings in the society ol Marie and her father, to one pass ed with Coke find Blstkrtotie. M. Bertrand was an old soldier of the first Empire wbo, with tbe fall of his chief, bad lost all ; and driv en into exile with his infant child, he had wandered from country to country, in the hope to mend his fortune. Now, bis daughter and himself had no other dependence than th3 earnings of the former, who turned to the best account she could her proficiency in music by giving private lessons. Ned would have gladly assisted his friends from his own purse, had he known how to do so without giving offense to the proud old soldier. I ve been thinking of a wife for you," said Ned's uncle one morning, as the two sat together in the senior's private ollice. bo bave I," replied Ned. Ahem I" returned the uncle. I've picked one for you," he con tinued. I've picked one out for myself," raid Ned, " That is, provided I can obtain her consent." " The deuce vou have!" exclaim ed the head of the firm, who had always regarded the question as one within his own exclusive jurisdic tion. There is no knowing to what a pitch tbe discussion would have reached but for the entrance of two gentlemen, who came to consult Mr. Banting. A i renchman.a stranger, it seems had died suddenly while on a visit to the city some years before, leav ing a large sum of money. One of the two gentlemen present had been appointed trustee of the fund, and ti e other claimed to be next of kin to the deceased, whose cousin he asser ted him to be. The deceased spoke of having a brother," said the trustee, " in search of whom he had been traveling." Yes, his brother Antome, said the other, " who absconded trom this countrv vears ago, and of whese death I have ample proofs." The paiera were submitted to Mr. Banting, who promised to ex amine them and give rns opinion next day, at which time, if every thing was regular, the money was to be turned over to the claimant. It wasn't often that Ned paid much attention to the business of the office ; but the mention of cer tain names during the colloquy caused him to prick up his ears, while seemingly busy with the mor ning paper; and, five minutes later, be was running at full speed to the house of bis fviends, the Ber trand 8. At the appointed hour next morn ing, tne same two geniieman came to hear Mr. Banting's decision. Ned, as before, had the morning pa per before him, but kept a sharp ear turned. "These papers appear to be all right," observed Mr. Banting. "I have scrutinized them carefully, and find nothing wanting." " Then it only remains to pay over the money, I suppose," said the heir expectant, rubbing his hands. "Nothing more," replied Mr. Banting. The trustee produced bis accounts showing the sum on hand, which had been largely enhanced by ac cruing interest, and was beginning to draw a check for the amount. when Ned Armour threw aside his paper, and strode forward. "Don't be too fast!" he ex claimed. It was the first time that Ned had ever interfered in a business consul tation, and his uncle looked up sur prised. " Why, what do you know about it?" asked the latter. " I ve a witness in my private room I think you'd better examine before proceeding further, answered Ned. Wait a moment, and I'll bring bim." Ned stepped out and returned im mediately, escorting an lntirm old man, whose eye flashed aa it fell on the cowering countenance of the would-be heir. ' iell these gentlemen wno vou are," said Ned, "though one of them doesn t seem to need the informa tion." " I am Antoine Bertrand," replied the old man proudly, u the brother and heir of him on whose fortune this base wretch seeks to lay his law less grasp. It was tLis villain, when the star of my illustrious chief went down at Waterloo, who, through penury and fraud drove me into ex ile, and received, as the reward of his perjury, mv entire wealth. The proofs be now presents are as false as those he manufactured then, but I have the documents here which will leave no doubt as to my right." The false heir did not remain to see inspected the packet of papers which the old man presented. Suf fice it to say, they were found in all respects correct. Marie Bertrand was now a match for tbe wealthiest man in the land, aud when Ned told his uncle that it was she whom he had picked out for a wife, the old gentleman didn't object : neither did Marie nor her father ; and Ned Armour lived for many years, the happiest of husbands. Bill Nye Get Lieft. I aimed my panic-price cane at the driver ot a cream-colored car with a blue stomach, and remarked, M Ah, there !" I went inside, clear to the further end, and sat down by the side of b young woman who tilled the whole car with sunshine. I was so happy that I gave tbe conductor half a dollar, and told him he might keep the change. If bv chance she sees this, I hope she will remember me. Pretty soon a verv fat woman came into the car and aimed for our quarter, bhe evidently intended to squat between this fair girl and my self. But ab, thought I to myself in a low tone of voice, I will fool thee. So I shoved my person along in the seat toward the sweet girl of the Bay State. The corpulent party, whose name I did not learn, had in the meantime backed up to where she had detected a slight vacancy, and where I had seen fit to place my. selL At that moment sne heaved a sigh of relief, and assisted by the motion of the car, which just then turned a corner, she sat down in my lap and nestled in my bosom like a tired baby elephant. Dear reader, if I were to tell you that the crystal of my watch was picked out from under my shoulder blades the next day, you would not believe it, would you ?" I will not strain your faith in me by making that statement, but that was the heayiest woman I ever held. Jonea at the Circus. When I was a boy I went to a circus. And I haven't been to a circus since I joined the church. I have had too much self-respect, and so has any other man who has self respect enough to have religion. When I used to go to circuses no body but poor white trash and nig gers went, and 1 reckon it's that way yet Well, I was a powerful hand to take in the outside part of the show, and while I was a bogin' 'round on the outside I saw a couple of men toting a great bunch of dirty looking canvass along, and I followed them to where they was a 6ort of an oven. Well, these men built up a fire in the oven and then they hung up the canvass and put its mouth over the chimney, and pretty soon the can vass benn to inflate and expand and in a little while it bad develop ed into a magnificent balloon. Now a man got into the carriage, and at a word the straps were cut and the balloon floated gracefully into the air, and now looking back upon the earth seemed to sar, " I could have carried fifty of you just as easy as one." I have seen many a Meth odist and many a Baptist who had to be dragged to prayer meeting like that piece of canvass and held over God's furnace till it had expanded with the love of God, and when they once get to floating they look back and gather not one, but fifty of their brethren and bring tbetn along to the prayer meeting with them. From Sam Jonm' Sermon. Trimming a Zebra's Hoof. Early Saturday morning Superin- Langaage of Xhe Red Indians. Fall Planting o Bnlbtv One singular fact is the infinite tendent Brown, of the Zoological i diversity of language. Not only Garden, put on his working clothes and, assisted by his lieutenant, J. P. Bryne, marshalled at headquarters his entire available force of keepers. Several of them had long ropes, and one man carried an armful of stout rawhide straps. Butcher Dickerson who kills all the superannuated horses that are fed to the lions and tigers, carried a big meat saw in one hand and a sharp knife in the other. "Men," said the superintendent, when the squad came to attention in front of his office, "we are going to pare down the zebra's hoofs." He took the head of the line and marched boldly across the garden, halting at last in front of the pad dock in which a zebra contentedly nibbled the short grass. For some time tbe animal's hoofs have been growing at an alarming rate, ana the superintendent had determined to reduce them in size. The keepers climbed the fence and the zebra j stopped feeding and laid back his j ears. Keeper loyd, who has nad experience as a roper, coiled his las so and twirled it in the air. The ze bra twitched his tail and shook his head. Finally the cast was made and the noose curved gracefully through the air and settled over the zebra's head. With a quick, ducking movement he threw it off, and then squealing viciously rushed for the group of keepers. For several min utes the air was full ot gray unitorms, but when the zebra kicked off a pal ing and nearly stood on his head just to show what he could do, ho seemed to be satisfied and returned to his grass. The keepers crept back less boldly and Keeper Floyd pre pared to attack the enemy in the rear. He coiled his rope again and this time succeeded in making a success ful cast The zebra, when the rope touched its neck, started to run, and Floyd veiled for assistance and clung to I he rope. The noose tight ened, and the zebra began to kick and plunge. The entire force of keepers grabbed the other end of the rope and finally succeeded in throw ing the wiry animal. The zebra squealed with rage, kicked, and squirmed and struck out with his fore feet, but Ford hung to his neck and Pendegrast seized the animal's flanks and adroitly dodged his elongated feet which were Hying through air ten strokes to the second, lhe other keepers rushed forward with their ropes and straps and aftei fifteen minutes ol hard work succeeded in binding the zebra's legs together, rendering him helpless. Then Butcher Dicken?on rolled up his sleeves and, directed by Superintendent Brown, sawed oil the abnormal growth of horn on eacn of the zebra's hoofs. With his knife he rounded them up nicely, and when the job was done to his satisfaction stepped back while Keeper Floyd cut the ropes and straps that were twisted about the zebra's legs. For an instant the an imal Uy motionless, and then leap ing up made a rush at the keepers, and in a quarter of a minute saw the last gray coat fiy over the fence. Philadelphia Time. every tribe, but every band, of which there are sometimes fifty in a siagle tribe, has its own dialect or jargon, perfectly unintelligible to all who do By all means plant some bnlbs this fall. In no way can you ex pend a small amount of money in the garden to make it give yon more satisfaction. Tulips, hya cinths, crocuses and narcissuses not belong to that band. In all ! bloom early in the season, before times the Indians have disdained to learn a few words of an enemy's language. Stranger yet, the Chey ennes and Arrapahoes for three quarters of a century nave been firm friends, camping and hunting together- and making war upon the same enemies at the same time. The children romp and play together in the common camp. Yet not one in ten of either tribe can hold the most ordinary conversation in the lan guage of the other. Unaoie to speak each others lan guage, the Indians of the West have constructed a wonderful sign lan guage by which they hold inter course, uestures, signs are more or less natural to everv one. Among the plains Indians alone have they reached their most wonderful devel opment. So complicated and elab orate is this sign language, consist ing of countless gestures and move ments, the slightest variation in which marks wide difference in meaning, that only a few Indians in the tribe are complete masters of it, and the masses can only use it slightly. The signs do not indicate letters or words, as with the deaf and dumb, but ideas. There is one sign to indicate hunger, another for 'slop talking,' another for summer, and so on infinitely. Yet an expert will either make or interpret a long speech, which consists of an infinite number of signs following each oth er with lightning-like rapidity. Two strange Indians will meet on horse back, each unable to understand a spoken word of the other, and while holding the reins with the left hand will converse for hours with the right, without a single misunderstanding.

"I'm sick all over." 'What ails you?"

"Well, you see, my wife' a 6trict temperance woman, and I m fond of a little beer occasionall". The other night I took home a dozen bottles, labelled them 'cider' and pnt them into the refrigerator. Thus I could have a bottle of cider (?) at dinner every day and my wife didn't drop. "I am also very fond of mince pie, and the other day I asked my wife to make me just a lone one, as she don't eat them. She made me one all for myself. I'd only arrived at the first station when I struck something queer -"'What makes the pie taste so queer?' I asked. " 'I can't imagine. Does it ?' she asked. 'What did you put in it ?' I in quired. " 'The usual concomitants, and as I abhor brandy I put some of that cider in it,' said she. "Although I felt my boots work ing up to my collar button, I didn't dare say anything and I wa3 com pelled to gobble down every morsel of that pie.

Think of a man 100 years old talking about bonnets ! Yet that is just what M. Chevreul, the famous rrench chemist, delights to do. His observations on the bead dres are curious, and may guide ladies in their visits to the milliners. He says a black bonnet, with white, pink or red feathers or flowers suits a fair complexion. It does not go badly with brunettes, although the effect is not so good, but they may add orange or yellow nowers or feathers. A white hat is only suita ble for florid complexions, whether blondes or brunettes. Gauze, crape or tulle bonnets ?uit all complex ions. A -white bonnet for a blonde should have ,v bite or pink flowers; blueis stiil better. Brunettes should avoid blue, and rather choose red, pink or orange. Light blue bonnets are especially suitable for fair per sons ; They may be trimmed with white flowers, or even yellow or or ange is indispensable. A green bon net sets off a pale or slightly colored complexion ; it may be trimmed with white, red or pink flowers. A pink bonnet should not be worn too near the face, but should be separat ed by tbe hair or by a white or green inside trimming, tbe color es pecially. White flowers with an abundance ot leaves, produce a good effect on pink. A dark red bonnet is only suitable for persons with a highly colored complexion. Avoid yellow or orange oonnets. Violet is not to be recommended unless sepa rated from the face, not only by the hair, but bv yellow accessories also. The same precaution should be tak en tor yellow bonnets, which can only be worn by brunettes, with blue or violet trimmings. any other plants are large enougn or advanced enough to produce flow ers in any satisfactory amount They are so brilliant, and keep their beauty so long that no garden can afford to be without them. Two or three dollars wul buy quite a quanti ty of mixed bulbs nowadays, and tiie mixed collection is quite as sat isfactory to most lovers of flowers as the named bulbs are, which will quite likely cost as much, singly, as a dozen of the unnamed ones, and prove to be more beautiful. These bulbs should be procured and planted in October. Select a place for them where the ground can be kept free from water in the spring. If not naturally well drain ed renew the soil to the depth of a fiot or more and put in brick, old bone, Dtoken croctery and any thing which will hold up the soil you have removed, sufficiently when it is returned, to allow all surplus water to drain out of it. Make this soil rich with old and perfectly rot ten manure from a yard in which cows have been kept. No other is so good for bulbs. Incorporate it through the earth in which your bulbs are to be planted. This is all there is to be done until you set out your bulbs. When you do that put the larger ones, like tulips and hya cinths, four or five inches under the soil and about eight inches apart The smaller ones can be planted more closely together, and not quite as deep. When cold weather sets in it is well to cover the beds with some coarse litter from the barn yard. This must be removed as the plants begin to come up in spring. After they have bloomed annuals can be planted in the bed, without interfering in the least with the bulbs. Do not cut off the tops, but let them ripen and die off to suit themselves. In p'anting them, do not set them out in a haphazard way, but keep each variety by iteelf. A Scrap of Tartar History What it Cost.

In competition of breeds and individual animals to make the best record there is fre quently an immense amount of ab surdity. The owner of a certain cow, in order to excede the record of another cow, is said to have fed 142 pounds of solid food per day, and he exceeded the other cow's lecord by just one-half a pound in a week. A writer, in referring to it says : Is it possible that any cow could con sume so much lood in a day and continue it for a week? This makes 9!)4 pounds of food eaten in a week by a cow said to weigh 900 pounds. He got 27 pounds and ten ounces of salted butter, one half an ounce ahead of any previous record (h ought to have put in six ounces more salt and had an even four pounds a day), but was the play worth the candle? Was the butter at any reasonable market price worth the food consumed and the care giv en? Unless such tests show econo mic results they are absolutely val ueless. Apart from the fact that no economic results ere shown, it is much to be feared that such a eys tem of forced feeding will perma nently injure tbe constitutions of the animals or of their progeny.

The remarkable swordmanship of the Tartars is proverbial. Their fa vorite weapon is a long curved ci metar, quite different from that ot the Turks. It is made of tbe finest of steel richly alloyed silver, and a sword becomes an heirloom in a family and descends to the first born 60 long as the race exit3. When the last representative of the family dies his sword which, may have come to him from a hundred generations, is broken and buried with him." The blades of the weap ons, which are beaten out on an onyx stone anvil in the ancient Mo gul city of Taztchintzy, the Holy Place, are very thin, and the won derful feats performed with them are astonishing. Once when Robo, the cousin of the great Mogul, was caught in a rebellion, his execution was ordered. The most skillful swordsman of the empire was provided for the behead ing, and the Great Mogul and his court assembled to see it For a second the keen Tarter blade flash in the sunlight and then decended upon the bare neck of itobo, who stood upright to receive the stroke. The sharp steel passed through the vertebra?, muscles and organs of the neck, but so swift was the blow and so keen the blade that the head did not fall, but kept its exact position, and not a vital organ was disturbed. In surprise the Great Mogul ex claimed: "What, Robo, art thou not beheaded?" "My lord, I am," replied Robo, "but so long as I keep my balance right my head will not fall off." The Great Mogul was so pleased withthe deftnesss of the execuioner that he ordered a bandage to be tied on,and Robo speedily recovered. He after wards become a loyal subject, and was made cashier of the empire, be c:iuse,a the Great Mogul remarked: "He knows that if he keeps bis bal ances right his head will not come off." It is one of those curious scraps of history thar are often overlooked. " As I understand the purpose of your paper.it is designed to promote not only gastatory pleasure, but health. It ii not, therefore, import ant to give your readers the best ad vice you can upon what to drink, as well as what to eat? Many per sons are in the habit of u.ing mild stimulant? in moderation with their meals. This is especially true of European extraction or education. Experience has confirmed them in the belief that they are benefitted b the habit But, as things are now, what shall they drink ? I do not speak of spirituous liquors, for I am opposed to their use, except medic inally and under certain conditions. But to what mildly stimulant drink suitable to the table, should we re sort? Pure wine? Everybody knows that there is very little pure wine obtain ible, except at such prices as comparatively few can afford. Malt liquors ? Well, that no doubt de pends upon whether they are pure or not, and frequent publications in the press compel very serious ques tions of the purity and healthfulness of our malt liquors, particularly of the one in commonest use beer. What do you advise? Pure wine would be beet, and there is now a great deal of wine produced in this country that is honestly made and healthful, though perhaps deficient in delicacy of fla vor. Unfortunately, however, we are not yet a wine-drinking people. American wine producers are not satisfied with such profits as are suf ficient for other agriculturists, and the margin of profit demanded by dealers is larger than should be im posed upon any article of lood ; consequently, the prices at which our American wines are retailed are even higher than those demanded for imported fraudulent wines, and are high enough to put them out of common table use. Let us, there fore, for the present, at least, leave wine out of tbe question. As for malt liquors: Excellent ale, pure and healthful, is imported from England and Scotland, and some very good beer from continental Europe. Of American ale, some is good, and much especially of the brands that have built up saloon reputation is bad. American beer, particularly that made in and near New York, must be viewed with grave suspicion, ibe business of manufacturing it here hss grown in a short lime to vast proportions, and, tempting many to engage in it by the excessive profits it affords, has engendered the keenest rivalry. Unfortunately, that rivalry has led. not to the perfection o! the product, but to the cheapening of production by employment of rice, glucose, corn and other substitutes for good bar ley malt ; the use of various drug3 to take the place of hops, or to give supposably desirable effects of fla vor, color aud headiness, or to com pel the thirst of the drinker, and the evil abbreviation of the time nec essary for honest brewing. The latter wickedness is perhaps the worst, as it is the one most gen erally practiced. Four months at least should elapse after beer is brewed before it is drunk, to give time for the proper fermentation and clearing from the baleful yeast germs nd impure matter that in its earlier processes it necessarily contains. But in our local beer fer mentation is artificially stopped and the stuff is vended when it is no more than from fourteen days to two months old: At best ery new beer is blended with that slightly older. Brewers claim that 50 per cent of properly fermented beer six months old, and 50 per cent of two months old, and but half fermented, gives 10O percent of beer four months old, which is on a par with the af firmation that one fresh egg and one rotten egg mixed, gives two good eggs. The universal practice of add ing half a pound of bicarbonate ot sodo to each barrel of beer, is a very bad one for the drinkers. We get some fairly good beer from Milwaukee, Cincinnati and other Western cities, and in Philadelphia there is one notably good beer made by an honest and eccentric old Ger man, but good beer made in or near New York, even by brewers who in times past have most loudly claim ed honesty for their product can only be hoped for as a thing of the future, when it shall be necessary to keep intelligent people from dis carding beer altogether.

Peculiarities) of Sea Water. The village of Minussinsk, in Rus sia, has been troubled by the pest among its cows, and the conscript fathers of the commuuity held a meeting to decide upon the best means of putting a stop to the ca lamity. It was agreed that resort should be had to the old Slavonic A Rus- A chemical examination of water brought up from great depths in the Mediterranean proves, as suspected that the deep sea water is more salt than that at the surface, though nothing can be found to show the existence ot a bed of salt at the bot tom to produce sncb extra satura tion ; in fact, strata of water of less density are met with below those of greater density. Thus it appears that the outer current in large part carries with it the excess of salt pro duced by the surface evaporation, the cause of tbe circulation being due, it is believed, to hydrostatic action. That is, the water of the Mediter ranean is continually losing by evap oration in larger amounts than is returned to it by rains or rivers, and consequently, the inflow from the Atlantic must take place to keep up this level. If this inflow consists of fresh water the total quantity of salt in the Mediterranean would remain I the same, and the density, therefore, wouiu unaerge no increase ; out as the upper current of salt water brings in a certain quanity of salt in addition to that which the Mediter ranean basin previously contained, the density of this water is increas ed.and a column of it reached to any given depth becomes heavier than a corresponding column of Atlantic water, the excess of downward pres sure consequently displacing the the lower portion of the column of water, which will flow outward as 1 an undercurrent Whole Family potaoned. on science to protect the bank.
