GO IT, BOB-TAIL.
"A specimen of the genus "Hoosier" was
found by the Captain or a Eteamer, in the en
gine room of bis boat, while lying at Louis
ville, one fine morning in June. The captain
inquired to know "What he was doing there 1"
"Dave you seen Captain Perry V was the
interrogative response. .
1 don't know him ; and can't tell what that
has to do with your being in my engine room,"
replied the captain angrily. - -
Hold on ! That's just what I was getting
at. Ton see, Captain Ferry and I walked
down street together. Captain Ferry asked
me to drink, and so I did. I knew I wanted
to drink, or I wouldn't have been so cussed
dry. So, Captain Perry and I drank two or
three times. Captain Perry and I then went
to a ball. Captain Ferry was putting on some
extras on one toe. I sung out 'Go it Captain
.Terry, if you bust yonr biler !' With that a
man steps up to me and says be,
" 'See here, stranger, you must leave.'
"Says I, 'what must I leave lur V
'Sayshe, 'you're niakinsr too much noise.'
"Says I, sI've been in a bigger crowd than
this, and made more noise, and didn't leave
nuther.'
"With that he tuk me by the nap of the
neck and the seat of the breeches, and I left !
As 1 was shovin' down street, I met a lady.
I knew she was a lady by the remark she made.
She says,
" 'Young man, I reckon you'll go home
with me ?'
"And I went!
"I'd been in ber house but a short time
wben I heard a d-1 of a knockin' on the door.
I knew the chap wanted to get in, whoever he
was, or he wouldn't have kept np sicb a tbun
derin' racket. By and by said a voice,
" 'If you don't open, I'll bust in the door !'
"And so be did !
"I pnt on a bold face, and says I, 'Stranger,
Goes tnis woman belong to you V
"Says be, 'she does.'
"Then, says I, 'she's virtuous, I think, lrom
all that I've seen of ber !'
"With that, he come at me with a pistol in
ore hand, and a bowie knife in the other; and
bem' a leetle pressed for time, I jumped thru
the windur, a leavin' the bigger portion of my
coat tail. As I was streakin' it down town,
with the fragments flutterin' to the breeze, I
passed a friend. I knew be was a friend, by
-a remark be made. Says be,
'Go it, Bob-tail ! Ae's gainta on yoa '
"And that's the way I happened in your en
gine room. I'm a good swimmer, captain do
excuse me, if yon please, lrom takin' wattr!"
Thi.vk. The number of languages spoken
are 4,064. The number of men is about equal
the number of women. The average of human
life is 33 years. One quarter die before the
age of 7. One half before the age of seven
teen. To every 1,000 persons, one only reach
es 100 years. To every 100 only six reach 75
years ; and not more than one in 500 will reach
80 years. There are on the earth 1.000,000,000
of inhabitants. Of these 33,333,333 die every
year; 91,824 die every day ; 7,780 every hour,
and 60 per minute, or 1 every second. These
losses are about balanced by an equal noruber
of births. The married are longer lived than
the single ; and above all, those who observe
a sober and industrious conduct. Tall men
live longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life previous to the age of 50
years than men, but fewer after. The number
of marriages is in the proportion of 76 to 100.
Marriages are more frequent after the equi
noxes, that is, during the months of Juno and
December. Those born in Spring are gener
ally more robust than others. Births and
deaths are more frequent by nigh than by
day. Number of men capable of bearing arms
is one fourth of the population.
Got Cheated. Under this caption, the
Kanawha (Virginia) Valley Star tells the fol
lowing hard story : A colporteur, quite re
cently, in an adjoining county, approached a
man whose name we will not make public, and
solicited him to purchase a Bible. The man
refused, and gave as his reason for so doing
that he had no money, and that he could not
read. The colporteur, ascertaining that be
was a married man, and that he had no Bible,
became anxious to leave one with him, and
not being able to sell it to him, offered lo give
the book to his fellow creature. The man
hung down his head awhile, and seemed to
ponder on the proposition, but finally agreed
to take one, provided it was given to him.
The colporteur gave the Bible; the man took
it home and presented it to his wife, who
could read a little. She examined the volume
very carefully, and gave it back, saying that
only about one half of it was the Bible, that
the other half was something else, called the
New Testament. The bright husband became
enraged, and went in search of the colporteur,
declaring that be had got '-cheated," because
the book was only halt "Bible."
An Immense Windfall. According to the
Cumberland (Md,) jJlleganian, an old man
named John Brobst, living in the Glades, in
that county, recently discovered that be was
the rightful owner of a large tract of land in
the richest mineral region of Pennsylvania,
underlaid with immense seams of coal and'
iron, and valued at $3,000,000. Brobst, it is
said, lived on the farm fifty years ago, became
involved through his brother, mortgaged his
property to its then full value, and came to
Maryland, where he bas ever since lived in in
digent circumstances. The property subse
quently passed into the hands of his nephews,
who afterwards sold it to a wealthy company.
The difficulty of giving a good title to the
property led to the fact that Brobst was still
-live. He was searched out, found, and taken
on to Pennsylvania, and according to the Jllle-
c'nlia0lli OUt aU hU r'Sht for th
OI ,600,009.
New Yorkr city pays $800,000 annually In

A gentleman, who bad a very blundering
servant, put down in writing, everything he
wished turn to do. Going to the country, one
day, the masterfell into a ditch. lie called
the lad, who, instead of hastening to his assis
tance, exclaimed, "Stop, let me see if it's
down in my memorandum book."
A voter deficient in personal beauty, said to
Sheridan, I mean to withdraw my counte
nance from you." "Many thanks for the fa
vor, ' replied Sheridan, "for it is the ugliest
rung I ever saw."
A Traveler, relating his adventures, told the
company that h and his servant bad made fif
ty wild Arabs run ; which startling them, he
observed that there was no great matter in it
for, said he, "we ran, and they ran after us."
The Western papers say that the muskrats

THE "GREAT REPUBLIC" MONTH
LY. To the Public, the Hook an, I Period
ical Trade, aivl the Pre. We have the honor to
announce that we shall issue on or about the 1st of
December, 1358, so as to be in season to command
the early attention of the public and periodical
trade, the first n anther of a new Illnt rated Mag
azine, to be called The 'Great Republic' Monthly.
It is intended to make this magazine superior
in every respect to anything ever before issued in
this country. The general scone of its character
can best be understood by its name. It will bo thor
oughly national in no wise sectarian, and wholly
impersonal. It will offer to the writers and think
ers of this Union a common field, where they can
meet on the highest ground of cotemporary liter
ature. It will aim to gather about it every vario
ty of intellect. The range of articles will be a
wide one, covering, among other grounds, Essavs,
Sketches, Humerons Tales, Stories, Historical In
cidents, Reviews, Critiques. Biographies, Scientific
Articles, Travels, Table Talk. Dramas, Politics,
Poems, Ballads, Stanzas, Sonnets. Music, Corres
pondence. Gossip, etc., etc. The Magazino will be
profusely illustrated in the highest style of wood
engraving. The Literary department will present
greater variety, combined with more thorough ex
cellence, it is believed, than ever before offered in
the American public in a single periodical. Each
number will contain an original piece of music,
composed expressly for this work. Of the superior
excellence of the Magazine in every respect, and
of the certainty of its permanent success, very
little more need be said. The Term and general
conditions of the magazine will be as follows:
Volum There will be two volumes a year, of
about 700 royal octavo pages each, commencing in
January and July, and euding in June and De
cember, respectively, making six numbers to each
volume, and twelve numbers to each year. Sub
scriptions may commence at any time. Prices
Single copies, 25 cents ; 1 copy for one year, sent
by mail, 3 00. Clubs 2 copies, 1 year, $5 ; 3 co
pies, 1 year, S7 ; 4 copies. 1 year, S9 ; 5 copies, 1
year, $10. And all additional copies, over five,
at the rate of S2 a copy, if sent tothe same club.
Clubsmay be formed at different post offices. All
subscriptions must be paid in advance. Premium
Subscriptions Entitling each subscriber to the
magazine for one year, and to their choice of ci
therof our two great steel engravgngs, entitled,
'The Last Supper," and "The City of the Great
King," Four dollars. The engravings will be sent

vassers can make liberal and satisfactory arrange
ments upon application stating the territory re
quired. All Postmasters and Clergymen are au
thorized to receive subscriptions, which they may
forward to us, giving name and address of subscri
ber, deducting 25 per cent for their trouble. TfThe
rate of postage will not exceed three cents each
number, to be paid in all cases at the office where
it is received. All communications, to be entitled
to answer, must contain return stamps. Subscri
bers must, in all cases, write Names, Town. Coun
ty and State in full, as legibly as possible. ifThere
is little risk in sending money by mail. Large
sums should be remitted by draft, if possible, or

A CARD FROM DR. JAMES M. JAR.
RETT, OF THE NEW-YORK LUNG IN
FIRMARY. My connection for the past eight
years with the above Institution, as Chief Physi
cian, and atwelve years course of steady devotion
to the Cure of Pulmonary Consumption and its
kindred diseases, together with my unrivalled op
portunities aad advantage of pathological research
aided not a little by a perfect system of Medical
JnJialation has enabled me to arrive at a deci
sive, direct, and successful Cuur.se of treatment for
the positive and radical cure of all diseases of the
Throat, Lung, ami Air-passages. By Inhalation
the vapor and curative properties of medicines are
directly addressed to the diseased organs of the in
tegument. I do not advise the uso of Medical In
halation of any kind, to the exclusion of general
treatmeiU ; and although I consider it a useful ad
juvant in the proper management of those fearful
and often fatal diseases, vet I deem it iprv nw..
sary that each patient should have the benefit of
oom general and local treatment. The success of
my treatment in the abovo diseases, and the high
character of tho Institution over"which I havo so
long had the honor to preside, are too well known
to need any eulogy or comment from me. ' At the
solicitation of many privato and professional
friends, through whose puilanthropio aid the above
charity has been long and liberally supported and
after due consideration, 1 have eoneluded to make
such arrangements as will bring the benefits of my
experience and treatment within the reach of all,
and not confine myself, as heretofore, to those on
ly who entered the Infirmary, or who were able to
visit me at my office. Hoping therefore that the
arrangement will give entire satisfaction, both to
my professional brethren and the publie, I would
respectfully annonncc in conclusion, that 1 can
note be consulted personally or by letter, on all dis
eases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
nsed in the Institution, prepared to suit each in
dividual case. Inhaling apors, Matical Inha
lers, fyc, ire , will bo forwarded by express to any
part of the United States or the Canadas. Terms
My terms of treatment by letter are as follows,
viz: SI 2 per month for each patient, which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use
also, Inhaling Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparatus'
Payment as follows : $6 to be paid to Express A
gent on receipt of the box of Medicine, and the
balance Sti at the expiration of the month, if the
patient be cured or is entirely satisfied with the
treatment. Patients, by giving a full history of
their case, and their symptoms in full, can be treat
ed as well by letter as by personal examination
Patients availing themselves of Dr. Jarrctt s treat
ment may rely upon immediate and permanent
relief, as he soldom has to treat a case over thirty
days. Letters for advice promptly answered. For
further particulars address

IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWEf.jj.
Tr. Gnstav Linnard's Taste Restorative Troehts,
the. Great Sulttitut for Tobacco. It is a wU
known and incontrovertible fact that the use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of tku
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as oureful an
alasis and long and painful experience have elear
ly proven that it contains certain narcotic and poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their effMU
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she eu tire nervous system,
manifesting itself as all who have ever nsed the
noxious weed will bear testimony in Lassitude,
Nervous Irritability, Water Brash, Dyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
"Taste Restorative Troches' are designed to 00a a
teract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of eases, and
wherever nsed. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire sys
tem, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of Te
bacco, and by giving a healthy tone to the S teni
ae h. invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and threw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tvbaoe
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of 4
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to whom
all orders should be addressed.
