    Zeke aad Folly at the Theater.
"Row much be you jroln to tax as to
ICO in?" Mid Zeke, as he nd Polly
stepped op to the box office at the theater
the other blffht, Just at the window waa
opened, for they had come early to make
sure of getting all there was to be of
the show.
The scale of prices was explained by
the ticket seller.
"Crab cider and mince meat!" ejacu
lated Zeke; "that's more'n they charge
at a circus with two clowns. Can't you
let us set on the top benches for a
quarter apiece f Tou'll not find us any
ways stingy about buyin lemonade
and peanuts. What d'ye say. Is it a
dicker?"
He was informed that the prices were
as unchangeable as the times, and after
considerable parley invested in a couple
of balcony tickets, which they both
read aud examined critically to be sure
that no gouge game was lurking for
them in the pasteboard. A few minutes
later found them comfortably installed
In front seats with eyes wide open
drinking in the wonder and magnifi
cence of a theater for the first time.
"Ain't it too purty for anything r"
said Polly. "Look at all fine fixin's;
an', my sakesl what a bouncin' big
plcter that is" meaning the drop cur
tain. "I never expected to see the like
o' that in all my born days. But Where's
all the people, I wonder. It'll be too
bad and kind o' lonesome for us if no
bedy else comes."
"A man down at the tavern," re
marked Zeke, "was sayin' that nearly
every theater the head woman of this
show performs in burns down, and
maybe the folks is scared so about it
they wou't come on that account. Hold
on though, there comes two or three
down stairs there, and maybe it'll all
come right after all. What gits me
though is, where they're goin to have
the doiu's the ring's full of seats."
'But did you ever see anything so
splendid as this is?" said Polly, with
eyes sparkling in delight. "See what
lots o' lamps they've got. An' such
whoppln lookin glasses big as a barn
door. What a sight of money it must a'
cost."
"Enormous!" chimed In Zeke. "As
much as a thousand dollars, I'll bet
But I wonder what them cubby holes is
there, with all them fancy fix ups"
meaning the boxes.
"I 'spect them's for the band, maybe,"
ventured Polly. "I don't see anywhere
else to put 'em."
"Like as not," said Zeke, "but they're
terrible slow about gittin' started. See
how the folks is beginnin' to pour in,
though ;" and he laid his head on the
railing and busied his eyes watching the
crowd gathering in.
"Zeke!" said Polly, quickly pulling
his arm, "there's some more picters up
on the ceilin'.
"Sure enough," replied her husband
looking up. "I wish we'd a' went in
that other gallery. I b'lieve we could
a seen better up there. I s'pose, though
that's the dollar place, and there's no
use throwin money away. Hello ! now
we'll have the show at last there they
come" as the orchestra came sKuffling
up from under the stage.
"It ain't near so nice as a brass band
or George Thompson's fiddlin' at
parties," said Polly, with disappoint
ment; but when the overture was finally
completed and the curtain went up on
the first act eyes and mouths never
opened wider in astonishment and de
light than did theirs at that delectable
moment.
"Potater bugs an prunin' hooks!
But don't that git you?" was Zeke's
comment.
Polly didn t say anything for some
time, but sat almost breathless with
attention, and never once took her eyes
from the stage till the curtain went
down at the close of the net. To both
f them the play was a living reality.
Their own identity was lost sight of,
and their feelings drawn to the highest
tension in sympathy for the misfortunes
of the "Two Orphans." As the plot
thickened and the persecution of the
poor blind girl became more and more
heartrending Polly cried outright, and
great straggling tears welled up from
honest Zeke's noble heart and coursed
down his rugged cheek, and when the
brutalJacques sprang with a curse upon
his crippled brother and hurried him
with violence upon the stage, and then
seized the sightless girl with a rough
hand and hissed out his villainous
threat, Zeke, wittt clenched fist, bated
breath and fiery eyes sprang to his feet,
and declared that flesh and blood
couldn't stand that any" longer; but
Polly pulled him back into the seat, and
mollified him somewhat, until the play
took a turn.
In the final scene, where the orphans
are reunited, and the interest becomes
intense as the villain seeks to tear them
asunder, and the maimed Pierre springs
to the rescue with an immense knife,
the revulsion of feeling was so complete
that Zeke threw up his band and yelled
out:
"Go it, cripple ! That's the medicine
for the low lived whelp.
And when the soldiers came In and
captured the outlaws, and the mother
found her long lost child, and the lover
recovered his sweetheart, and every
thing else culminated just as they wanted
but little expected; the young couple
never felt happier or more buoyant in
their lives. It bad all been so real to them
that for a minute they could scarcely
make out where they were, but with
much reluctance they finally came down
tn earth again, and departed from the
place of enchantment. On the walk to
their hotel they talked of nothing else.
All the incidents were reviewed and
each individual character discussed, and
through their dreams that night flitted
shadows of what they had seen during
their first visit to the theater.
Mohair.
Mohair was originally a stuff made of
the hair of a wild Minor-Asiatic goat,
called "mo;" whence mohair, abbrevi
ated by the French into moire. Gros-de-Xaples
aud florentine need no ex
planation. We have to thank Gaza, in
Palestine, whose gates Sampson carried
away, for gaie, or gauze. Gaza means
treasure; aud precious to the fair is the
nssue which covers without hiding
their charms. Voltaire wishing to de
scribe some intellectual but perhaps
dressy woman, said : "She is an eagle
in a cage of gauze." Muslin owes its
name to Mossoul, a fortified town in
Turkey, Asia. Tulle is a city in the
south of France ; Worstead is a market
town in Xorfolk. Travelers by rail in
Brittany often glide past Guingamp
without remembering that it is tiie in
ventor ot that useful article gingham.
If you are getting in coal, shute it.
AGRICULTURE.
Sweet Potatoes. To the spot chosen
to bear sweet potatoes the coining year,
Mr. Jones hauls out in the rail the ac
cumulated manure of the season, and
spreads at the rate of something like
thirty tons to the acre, leaving it to be
lined, dissolved and mellowed by expo
sure. In course of the month of April
he plows the patch, but not more than
three inches deep; and a day or two
before putting out the sets, late in May
he casts the land into shallow ridges
by turning the furrows together, being
careful the loose earth is not more than
six inches deep, and at the top of the
ridge sets the plants and cultivates in
the usual manner. Mr. Jones' theory
is that the sweet potato is a gross feeder,
but its roots feed only near the surface,
and that in order to have the tubers de
velop to their smoothest and largest
proportions, there must be a certain
amount of resistance in the soil, and
tbey find that iu the undisturbed clay
loam below.
Whatever the soil and depth of plow
ing, the land must be thrown up into
ridges just previous to setting out the
plants. A Virginia grower recommends
making these ridges ouly twenty-eight
or thirty inches apart, from centre to
centre, borne growers preler them three
feet apart, for ease of cultivation after
the vines have made considerable
growth. When the ridges are close to
gether the plants are set at the same
distance apart from each other, thus
making rows both ways, and allowing
cross cultivation when the plants are
young. If the rows are three leet apart
the plants are feet eighteen or tweutly
inches apart in the rows. The after
cultivation is simply to keep the ground
mellow aud free lrom weeds. A Vir
ginia correspondent states that a three
eiiovel plow is the best implement lor
cultivating sweet potatoes. There are
two narrow shovels forward, which
scrape the sides of the ridges, and a
wide shovel in the rear immediately
replaces the earth upon the ridges.
The mode of planting out in the field
is the same. 1 he sweet potatoes are
cut iu halves aud laid cut-side down on
the earth iu the hot-beds, and covered
with earth. As fast as the sprouts are
large enough, they are pulled oil and
set out, or packed for sale or shipment.
Sheep Killing 1oos. The dog that
once kills a sheen can never be broken
of the babiu They kill them by tearing
open the large veins in the neck and
sucking the blood. A dog who is ad
dicted to this habit will teach other
dogs They gen -rally travel in pairs,
a large dog aud a small one, although
sometimes a single dog will kill a sheep.
They are very cunning about it, aud
none but a green dog will kill a sheep
in the day-time, while they often go
long distances from home instead of
killing a sheep near by. The first time
a dog kills a sheep he will suck the
blood and eat some and be satisfied. He
will soon learn to kill several, sucking
the blood until he is full, eating uo
fleih the first night.
When your sheep are killed by dogs,
say nothing about it, but skiu the dead
sheep, cut four or five gashes in the
shoulder, put a small amount of first
class strychnine iu the gashes, and let
them lie in the place in which you found
them. The first night after the killing
there will be no dogs on band, but the
second night they will come and in the
morning you will find them severely
punished for their depredations.
Plaxtixq Potatoes. Some persons
believe iu potatoes whole; some cut
them in quarters or halves, allowing
them to lie a lew days and dry, before
planting. A few years ago 1 had just
the eyes taken out singly aud left to dry,
and then planted one eye every ten
inches in the row by pressing it down
with my finger to a depth of nearly four
inches. The ground being ievel, was
so kept until the second cleaning, when
the plow was run to throw the furrow
toward the row of potatoes aud leave it
about one foot level across the top.
From the single eyes 1 gathered a larger
crop than from potatoes cut in halves
and whole ones, the land aud culture
being ilie same.
Ir bt improper or injudicious feed

detriment of milk.
Old Houch and Readr.
It was in the year 1S4G that, upon
the banks of the Rio Grande, I firsUmet
General Taylor. Before leaving my
home in Illinois I had beard of him.
He was the hero of the day; the whole
country resounded with his name and
his exploits. Well, when 1 was pre
sented to him, I confess I was consider
ably surprised. He was somewhat
below medium height; was short and
stout; in fact, was what you would call
dumpy. He wore a straw hat; an old
linen duster, that looked as if it might
not have been washed since he fought
the battle of Palo Alto, His pants
were large and loose, and on bis honest
feet he wore coarse soldier shoes, not
very handsome, but very comfortable,
let me assure you. His face was not
handsome no, it would have been at
first sight called homely ; but there was
about it that which impressed one with
the grand honesty and decision of the
man. He stood upon bis feet as solid
and determined as a prairie buffalo.
As I have remarked, I was considerably
taken back when I was presented to
General Taylor; but when be held out
his honest palm to me, and bade me
welcome in his hearty, off hand way, I
knew that I had 'Old Rough and Ready'
right before me as brave a soldier as
ever battled for his country, and as
honest a soldier as ever won the suff
rages of the American people. That
day, I dined with General Taylor, and
upon that occasion there were also pre
sent Colonel Bliss, and Colonel Clay of
Kentucky, a son of Henry Clay. Of
the four assembled together at that time
I am, to day, the sole survivor. While
we were at dinner, a guard filed in
with two prisoners that had just been
arrested. The men bad been for two
days peddling oranges through the
camp, and by accident one of the soldiers
had discovered that under their coarse
garments they wore the finest linen.
So the two were arrested, and carefully
concealed about their persons had been
found papers containing very valuable
inforuiation concerning the American
camp, the number of men in arms, and
the best points for attack. These papers
were handed over to General Taylor,
and after reading them, he passed them
to the rest of us. They were unmistak
able evidences that the two men were
spies. "Call my interpreter!" de
manded General Taylor. The General
ould not speak Spanish. The ouly
Spanish word he knew was 'tamos,' and
he used it on all occasions. Whenever
be invited the Mexicans into camp, he
said 'eamos, and whenever he ordered
them out of camp, be said 'vamot.' The
interpreter having arrived, General
Taylor said to him : "Ask them who
they are !" The prisoners replied that
tbey were Mexican soldiers. 'Humph !
Thought so. Now, ask them what their
rank is!" They looked at each other a
moment, as much as to say, "We might
as well tell the truth," and answered
that they were colonels one of them
chief of the engineer corps at Monterey. -"Aha
I" said Genera Taylor, "so much
the worse. And now isle them who
sent them here." They replied that
they had come In obedience to the orders
of General Apudia. "General Apudla
sent you, did be?" roared old Rough
and Ready. "Well, I say General
Apudia is no gentleman, or he would
not have sent you here on this sneaking
errand, to spy about our camp! I say
he Is no gentleman!" The prisoners
had just began to understand that the
man whom they were before was the
American General, and when he uttered
this hasty opinion of their chief, they
bowed very low. General Taylor asked
them if they knew the penalty of their
crime; if they knew that, as spies, they
ought to be shot? At once the prisoners
drew themselves up proudly, and said
they knew the penalty; bnt if they
were to die, they trusted they would
meet their fate like brave men. Their
bravery pleased the brave bluff old
soldier, aud after a moment's thought
he said : Well, I'll let you go this time
but if I ever catch you spying here
again, I'll have you shot shot like
Mexican dogs ! Sow 'vamot !' 'vamot !'
And tell General Apudia that when he
wants to find out about our army, he
may send a delegation of his officers
here, and I will escort them about my
self, and order a review of the troops
for their especial benefit. The liberated
men scampered off briskly. Shortly
after that, General Taylor, at the bead
of his victorious legions, marched in
and took possession of Monterey.
Going Through Collrf
Theodore Parker never received a di
ploma, though he pursued the full col
lege course at Harvard. Xor did he
ever recite a single line to a professor.
His father was poor, and could not af
ford to pay the college expenses; but
Theodore w a bound to have a liberal
education. One evening he said :
"Father, I have entered Harvard
College."
"How did you prepare?" asked the
astonished parent.
"I studied by myself evenings, after
the day's work was done, ai:d morn
inrs before work." He was then as
sisting his father on the farm.
"But I cannot pay your expenses in
college."
"I know that ; I mean to stay at home
and keep up with my class."
And he did more than keep up witli
the class ; part of the time he worked
for his father at home, and part of the
time he taught school, paying his fath
er eleven dollars a mouth to hire an
other hand in his place. He passed the
examination successfully, but was not
eiveu a decrree because he had been a
non-resident, and had paid no fees.
Subsequently a degree was offered him
on condition of paying the customary
fees; but money was scarce, though
energy and scholarship were ample,
and he was obliged to decline it.
SCIENTIFIC.
Lead and Mercury Poitonimj. The
value of iodide ot potassium to eliminate
lead and mercury from the system of
men whose consitutions, by exposure to
lead dust, mercurial vapors or other
forms of those metals, has been injured,
is not so well known as It deserves to
be. Physicians who keep up with the
progress of their calling have long pre
scribed this substance, the virtue of
which was discovered thirty years ago
by Prof. Jtlelsen.of Belgium : while the
Paris Academy of tn-iences lately
awarded him a prise of $500 for this dis
covery, the value of wh ch has been
verified by a thirty years' experience.
The full dose of this salt is live grains
three times a day in solution ; but It is
better tocoromeuce gradually, with in
creasing doses. 1 be noxious metals are
by the action of this salt, carried away
in the urine in the form of double solu
ble iodides. Prof. Melsen advises the
use of the iodide of potassium as a pre
ventive in cases where men are exposed
to the effects of lead dust or mercurial
emanations. Workmen affected with
lead paralysis have been cured, and
others who were unable to follow their
calling from their liability to saturnine
colic, have been enabled to take it up
again, fortified by a regimen ot which
a dose of iodide of potassium formed
part. With regard to mercurial
affections the observations have
been confirmed by those made at the
mercury mines of ldria. The work
men engaged in the manipulation of
mercury and mercurial products at
these miners have been made the subject
of various methods of treatment, cura
tive or preventive, and the good and
lasting effects ot the iodide are uo longer
doubted.
At a special hospital in Viena ample
occasion has been furnished to watch
the action of the iodide in freeing the
body from tbo presence of fixed mercury
and preventing its fixation. It has been
fouud in every case in which it has been
employed that in the presence of the
salt the symptoms characteristic of the
mercury are removed, or diminished, or
prevented from declaring themselves.
The action of the iodide of potassium
appears to be a purely mechanical one.
It consists in determining the metal
rendered insoluble by the formation of
some albuminous compound, to take on
a soluble form by the creation of a
double iodide removable per euiw an'na
riam. Whether is the case, or whether
its action consists in determining by
destruction the evacuation of the morbid
tissue containing the fixed metal, is,
however, uncertain. But certain it is
that by this remedy the danger attend
ant upon many mining and manufac
turing operations has been diminished,
and the sufferings of many workmen
relieved and the lives of others saved.
Its efficiency is therefore proved beyond
a doubt, and we hope that it may soon
be generally employed.
A Scientific Experiment. la one of a
series of lectures which Prof. Tyndall
is delivering to children, he made a sug
gestive experiment. A metal tube,
about seven feet long, had a ring of gas
burners around it at a distance of two
leet from the bottom, as well as several
gas burners below iu When all the
burners were lighted, and after boiling
began, jets of water were thrown out
from the top of the tube with some
violence; the water thus expelled being
constantly returned to the tube from a
receiver affixed above it. The explana
tion given is to the effect that the in
creased ebullition of the water above
the ring of gas burners lightens the
water above the ring more than below
it; the boiling-point always depends
upon the pressure; when the pressure
on the lower portion of the water is
thus lightened, that portion begins it
self suddenly and violently to boil, be
cause of the partial removal of pressure.
The experiment might explain the
action of the geysers and perhaps other
natural phenomena.

DOMESTIC.
Is Gaslight Ixjckiocs. The Prus
sian Government has for some time past
been making a a series of close and ex
haustive researches on the effects of
gaslight upon the eyes of those who
use iu A belief has long prevailed, that
under certain conditions the eyesight is
impaired when gas is continually used
as an illuminator, and it was to decide
this question that the experiments were
instituted. The conclusions reached in
dicate very decidedly that where ar
rangements are adopted to protect the
eye against the direct rays of the light,
no harm can possibly resulu Shades
and globes are, as a rule, found to an
swer this purpose. It was also ascer
tained that dark, opaque shades are
more injurious thau useful, aud in
nearly every Instance where complaint
was made, it was found the dirticul y
was attributable to this kind of shade
or protection. Where such are used
the eye remains in the dark, but looks
upon a highly illuminated surtace
aud the sight is dazzled and irritated,
causing harmful effects. The whitish
or milk glass globes are fouud to be free
from the defects of the darker shades.
The dazzling light thrown out by the
gas jets is partially absorbed aud diffused
by them, and reaches the pupil of the
eye in a condition that leaves it incapa
ble of doing harm. Care must also be
taken to keep at a proper distance from
the gas jet, whicn, from its emitting a
very considerable, degree of heat, is
capable lrom that cause of producing
headaches and even congestion of the
brain ; but these can also be guarded
against by any plan that decreases the
intensity of the heat, or by removing to
a greater distance lrom the jet.
Poor Man's Pie. Mix well together
two breakfast cups of bread crumbs,
three onions chopped fine, a little pepper
and salt, and half a cup of water or
milk. Liue a basin witn the mixture,
reserving as much as will cover the top.
Have ready as much cold meat, minced
line, with a slice of bacon, and seasoned
with pepper and salt, as will fill the
basin. Add a cup of water and a table
spoonful of ketchup. If desired, cover
with the remaining crumbs; put a
small teaplate over the t p of the basin,
tie firmly up in a cloth, aud boil for
two hours. This is an excellent way
of using up cold meau
Tomato Saccb. Take half a canful
of tomatoes ; put in a stew pan, adding
half an onion, sliced, a little thyme,
bay leaf, a head of celery, a tablespoon
ful of sugar, a teaspoouful of salt and
one of pepper, a piece of butter the size
of a large egg, and a small piece of ham ;
let these simmer slowly until the celery
is tender, then add a Ublespoonful of
flour moistened, and a little cayenne
pepper; boil live minutes, and" taste to
see if it is highly seasoned; strain
through a hair sieve, and put back in
stew pan until it adheres rather thick
to the back of the spoon.
Chicken Pcddiso. Cut up the
chicken and stew it a little, after which
lay the pieces in a buttered dish with a
tew bits of butter, a little pepper and
salt, and a little of the water iu which
the chicken was stewed. Make a batter
of one quart of milk, five eggs, a little
salt. Pour this batter over the chicken,
and bake half an hour.
k.N-GLisH Bread Sai-ce. Cut some
light bread in small pieces ; boil sunt
cient milk with a good-sized onion in it
to thoroughly soak it; mix and let
stand a while, then boil, and add butter,
pepiier and salt, and a few black
pepper corns; take out the onions be-
lore serving.

The Fortification, of the Dardanelles.
The straits at Gall i poll are about a
German mile broad. To the southeast
is Lamaski, on the woody Asiatic shore,
just opposite the mouth of the JEos-
potamos; a little iarther ou the straits
gradually become nioro narrow up to
Sestos and Abydos, celebrated as the
scene of the story of Hero and Leander,
and still more as the place where the
arniy of Xet xes and that of Alexander
under Parmenion crossed to the Euro
pean shore. The first Turkish fort is ou
the adjoining cape of Xagara-Iiurun.
The Straits then turn directly to the
south, and here is their narrowest part.
not quite two thousand metres wide,
between 'the Castles of the Dardanelles'
at Tchanak Kaiessi, en the Asiatic, aud
Kilid Bahri, on the Roumelian side.
The old fortifications consists mainly ol
towers and brick walls, which shortly
before the outbreak of the war were
armed with big guns of a very old
pattern, some with stone projectiles. A
short time ago some of these wails were
pulled down, especially those to the
south of Tchanak Kaiessi, tu order to
lay down the huge Krupp gans pre
sented by Ilerr Krupp to the late Sultan
Abdul Aziz. The Castle of Tchanak
Kaiessi commands the whole of the
southern part of the Dardanelles up to
the .Egean Sea; and it is therefore the
central point of all the maritime de
fences between Kum-Kaleh on the south
and Gallipoli on the north.
Beside the above castle three batteri'is
Medjdle, Kische-Burun and Kagara-
Burun have been recently armed with
Krupp guns of various calibres aud
twenty aud six and thirty pounders
Kilid Bahri, on the European shore,
formerly also had n imposing park of
artillery consisting of old guns, which,
however, were ol but little practical use.
Some of tbem bore the arms of the
Venetian republic, and there was an
immense quantity of stone projectiles.
These have all been removed, and most
of the cannon have been replaced by
Krupp guns, which are stated to be
fifteen in number. There are also in the
neighborhood of Kilid - Bahri three shore
batteries : Dermen Tabia, with eleven
guns (including Ave Krupps); Tchan
Tabia, with seven guns, and Boali
Tabia, with twenty old twelve and six
and thirty pounders.
In proceeding southward from the
castles of the Dardanelles, one perceives
on the Asiatic side a lofty and com
manding shore, which has hitherto not
been fortified, the site of the ancient
Dardauia, which has given its name to
the Straits. At the southern entrance
to the Hellesitont are the two forts of
Kum Kaleh and Sedil-Bahri, the former
on the coast or the Troad, and the latter
at the extreme southerly end of the
Thracian Chersonese. These forts were
erected by Sultan Mohammed IV. in
1659, and they have now been strength.
ened by several batteries on the Roume
lian shore. Their position is not. on the
hole, so favorable from a military
point of view as that of the cistles of
the Dardanelles, and Sedil-Bahri, from
its Isolated position, might easily be
threatened by a land force coming from
the shores of the vEgean.

HUMOROUS.
The Old Deceiver. It was amusing
to see the air of importance assumed by
the old fraud as he briskly entered a
Woodward avenue restaurant yester
day. He coughed loudly, put his band
to his breast-pocket, aud said to the
proprietor :
"Ahem ah I soppose you have
wines?"
"Yea, sir."
"1 suppose you have wines fit for my
Christmas board?"
"1 have."
"And ahem you could let me taste
a sample, I suppose?"
"I can," answered the proprietor, and
he handed down a wine-bottle which
be had filled with beer-slops, molasses,
and buttermilk for Just such occasions.
Tne old fraud took a deep "swig," set
the bottle down, and as be drew his
mouth clear around over his right
shoulder-blade, he said :
'That goes right to the spot! I'll call
in at noon and have you send up twelve
bottles."
When he got out-doors he seemed un
decided whether to hold his mouth open
or shut, aud now and then he indulged
in a horse-like cough. He halted and
looked into a candy store for a minute,
but his mouth didn't water. On the
contrary, his scowl darkened, and as he
turned away he said :
"Waugh! 1 wouldn't even lick a
grindstone if it was sugar coated."
A Wosderfcl Bot. A newsboy,
leauing against a lamp post recently,
was patted on the head by a geulleman,

"Boys hain't no 'count," lonesomely
answered the little shaver.
"Oil, yes they are? I was a boy
once."
"Was you smart?"
"Guess 1 was! Why, before I was
seven years old 1 could take the family
clock all to pieces."
"Could you?" exclaimed the lad, his
eyes sparkling witu admiration as the
mau passed on. He got a new brace for
his feet, indulged in some bard think
ing and all at ouce spoke up:
"What a fule 1 am that 1 didn't sass
him ! Any fule of a boy kin take a clock
ter pieces, but it takes a mau, and a
pretty smart one, ter get the wheels
together agin ! I'm jist as discouraged
as 1 was before, aud more too!"
Hood used to tell a story of a hypo
chondriac, who was in the habit, two
or turee times a week, of believing him
self dying. Oil a certain occasion he
had one ol his terrors while riding out
in his gig, and happening to see his
family physician he applied the whip
to the horse to overtake the oid doctor.
The doctor applied the whip to his own
horse, and they had a close time of it
for about three miles. The. hypochon
driac finally came alongside the doctor
and exclaimed, "Hang it, doctor, pull
up! Pull up instantly! I am dying!"
"1 think you are," cried the doctor, "I
never saw any one going so fasu"
Captain and Mrs. Jones were an ill

were a source of continued auuoyauce

"Hallo," exclaimed young Winter,

night, "here's a new scandal !"
"What's the iratter?"
"Jones has been caught making love
to"
" Whom ?" shouted half a dozen voices.
"His wife."
Hawthorne says: "We live in dead

Daniel Webster and Edward Everett.
The following anecdote of these two
eminent men Is from the "Reminisce
ences of Daniel Webster," by his friend
Peter Harvey, recently published : "I
well remember. In the year 1847, when
riding with Mr. Webster to the Dedbam
Agriciltural Fair Ground, on a pleasant
September day, he said : 'I have been
thinking over what I propose to say if
called upon to make a speech. Mr.
Everett was born In the county of Nor
folk; and, although it Is not always
wise to say complimentary things to a
man's face, still I may never have a
better opportunity, and I shall tell the
Xorfolk county people to day what I
think of their distinguished son. When
I was appointed Secretary of State the
first time, by General Harrison, one of
the very first things I did, in the way
of foreign appointments, was to select
Mr. Everett to represent the govern
ment at the Court of Su James. In such
appointments, It has always seemed to
me that we should choose men of char
acter, who would represent the country
at luge, rather than be influenced by
the bias of our party ; for foreign nations
judge of our people by the representa
tive men whom we send out to them.
Since that time I have had many letters
from eminent statesmen abroad, thank
ing me for sending Mr. Everett; for, in
choosing him to represent us in the
presence of the English people, I sent
them a man as well versed iu their own
history as any man living, with the ex
ception of Macaulay. I am going to
tell these people today just what I think
of Mr. Everett, for I houor him and love
him.'
"Iu the address which he delivered
upon this occasion, he carried out his
intentio.1 formed in the carriage; and,
greatly to the surprise of every one,
and to the astonishment of Mr. Everett
himself, pronounced a noble eulogy
upon his friend. Though he was to
come in town in the afternoon, and the
carriage was at hand, he waited, saying.
''Let us stop a moment, aud see what
Mr. Everett says.'"
"Mr. Everett unconsciously flushed
rose and said: "It would not be be
coming in me to bandy compliments
with my illustrious friend, He has seen
fit to compliment me upon my attain
ments iu international law. 1 should
not d.ire to say here how much personal
friendship may have had to do with the
picture he has drawn; but this 1 will
say, take from that knowledge of inter
national law what we learued at his
feet, and there would be nothing lett
worth mentioning.

Compound Oxygen.
The advertisement r,i firs. Starket and Palo
in this paper is one to which we call especial
attention. Tuere is lit'ie doub . of the fact
that they ha e come into the possession of a
new agent of cure for couaumptiou, asthma,
catarrh, and nearly all ervoa. mud chron c
disease. Mr. Waldo M. Clafilin, a manufac
turer of Philadelphia, g ves this srntten teat
mouy: -T wo years ago 1 wa aick with what
wa called conaomnttou. I was too sick to at
tend to business, even to write a It t. er. My
physician got discouraged, and took me almost
by force to your orhu.. I beg.n to improve
very soon, so that ail my fn mis were nr
prised. In 'wo months I was able to rnoaine
business, increasing in weight, strength anJ
comfort. If there be any aisease about ue
for the la t year, the e is no evidence of it."
In a recent number of Arthur', Hume Mmjazine
the editor. Mr. T. R Arthur, say . : "We aain
refer to the advertisement of Dra. 8tarkey aud
Pairi, and in doing so, would emphasize th.
strong assertions a ready made as to th
curative results, which, ia our own raw anil,
