THE CITIZEIT.
MISCELLANEOUS-
Mr. Greeley's Sense of Humor.
Joel Benton. In the July Cosmopolitan.
Mr. Greeley's sense of humor was
of a peculiar sort, but it was allied to
genius. So many anecdotes have
been told of him in illustration of
this, that one can hardly expect to
produce any now that some one has
not repeated. Those who tried to
joke with him to his disadvantage
were generally worsted, whether they
did it orally or through the press
One evening an associate editor ot
the Tribune accosted him as he came
into fcis desk with some such ques
tions as this :
"Didn't you know, Mr. Gaeeley.
that you made a dreadful blunder in
one of the statistical editorials this
mcrniDg.
"No; how was it?" said Mr.
Greeley.
"Why, you said something about
'Heidsieck and champagne.' Don't you
know Heidsieck is champagne ?"
"Well," said Mr. Greeley quietly,
"I am the only editor on this paper
that could make that mistake."
On another occasion a person who
wished to have a little fun at the ex
pense of his consistency, said in a
group where Mr. Greeley was stand
ing:
"Mr. Greeley and I, gentlemen,
are old friends. We have drunk a
good deal of brandy and water to
gether."
"Yes," said Mr. Greeley, "that is
true enough. You drank the brandy,
and I drank the water."
Tobacco was his especial dis
like ; and, a friend of mine knowing
this well, while handing around a
box of cigars to a few who were
present with Mr. Greeley, took es
pecial pains to hand him the box
with great ostentation.
"No," said Mr. Greeley, "I thank
you. I haven't got so low down as
that yet. I only drink and swear."
I must say, however, in contradic
tion of a charge that must have been
much exaggerated and purposely dis
torted (for it was a favorite imputa
tion against him with many,) that I,
at least, never heard him use exple
tives that could not be repeated in a
refined circle. He had as justifiable
occasions, though, for objurgatory
epithets as any one ever knew ; and
if he had not sometimes spoken
vehemently he would have been
truly angelic. His handwriting, in
spite of all that was said of it, was
not the worst in the world ; but it
was very nearly the homeliest. It
was fairly appalling to look at. But
it did have a somewhat uniform al
phabet. Almost all the words, like a
certain one in Rufus Choate's pen
manship, looked like "grid-irons struck
by lightning." But when you once
discovered the key to this chirogra
phy, it was not so very hard to read
The stories about it, though, are
more numerous than the fables of
-it sop.
Another Lincoln Story.
From the Toledo Blade.
When Abraham Lincoln was a
clerk in a dry goods store he sold a
woman a iittle bill of goods, amount
ing in value by the reckoning to
$2,06|. He received the money and
the woman went away. On adding
the items of the bill agaiu to make
himself sure of correctness, he found
that he bad takeu Cj cents too much.
It was night, but closing and lock
ing the store, he started out on foot,
a distance of two or three miles, for
the bouse of his defrauded customer,
and, delivering over to her the sum
whose possession had so much troub
led him, went home satisfied. This
is a very humble incident, but it illus
trates the man's perfect conscientious
ness, his sensitive honesty, better
perhaps than if it had been of greater
moment.
Drunkenes or Liqour Habit,
Positively Cured by adminis
tering Dr. Haines' Golden Spe
ciflic.
It can be given in a cup of coffee
or tea without the knowledge
of the person taking it, is
absolutely harmless and will effect a
permanent and speedy cure
whether the patient is a moderate
drinker or an alcoholic wreck
Thousands of drunkards have been
made temperate men who have tuken
the Golden Specific in their coffee with
ont their knowledge, and to-day be
lieve they quit drinking of their own
free-will. IT NEVER PAILS. The
system once impregnated with the
Specific it becomes an utter impossi
bility for the liquor appetite to exist.

—A dispatch from Gilboa, N- Y.,
says that Mrs. P. II Richimyre, aged
82, has just completed a pair of
trousers for her husbaud, aged SO, to
play base ball in.
Ninety Record Books!!
"Is it, possible? Why I had no
conception of the extensive use and
popularity of this treatment. What!
ninety record books, of seven hundred
pages each, in which are recorded
alphabetically the forty-one thousand
cases of patients who have been and
are using the Compound Oxygen
Treatment ?" Such was the exclama
tion and surprise of a recent visitor
to the principal office of Drs. Starkev
and Palen, No. 1529 Arch Street,
Philadelphia. This office is opcu
from 9 A. M. till 5 P. M. during the
week, to all who wish to see for them
selves the extent and growth of this
deservedly popular treatment. Nor
is it any wonder that its almost in
credible success should excite numer
ous charlatans to imitate it and trv
to palm upon the public a cheap irni
tatiou as being similar and equally
good and pure ! But none arc genu
ine without the names of Drs. Starkey
& Palen being stamped in the bottle.
For a full history of this Treatment,
apply to Drs. Starkey Palen, 1529
Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pa., and it
will be sent free.

A Wise Granger.
From Meadville Herald.]
Not a thousand miles from Dutch
Hill lives a man who i 9 the possessor
of a large pasture field. Some of his
neighbors are not abundantly suppli
ed with pasture, and a scheme was
worked on their more fortunate neigh
bor. When darkness had settled
down on the face of the earth, cows
would be tured into his field, where
they would be allowed to graze, and
the gentle kine would be taken from
the field before the rising of the morn
ing sun. What was to be done? The
man with the large field didn t wish
to create dissatisfaction in the neigh
borhood, and planned to overcome
the difficulty. He turned his calves
into his pasture,and they bad free ac
cess to the udders of the cows which
mysteriously found their way into
his field at night. His neighbor's
cows don't bother him any more.
Her Ticket Matched Her Dress.
First Kansas Woman —Were you
at the polls yesterday. Minnie ?
Second Kansas Woman—Oh, yes,
I was out at the dear little polls.
Isn't it just too nice to vote ?
"How did you vote?"
"Ileally I don't remember."
"Well, you remember that they
had two kinds of tickets—white and
red?"
"0,1 remember now. It was a
lovely little red ticket that I put on
the polls."
"Why, lam surprised. That was
the Republican ticket."
"Well, I didn't ask. I saw that
the color of the ticket was a delicate
red and it exactly matched my dress."'
He Got the Drink.
A seedy looking individual appear
ed in one of our bar rooms and after
looking around and uot being asked
to "take something" sat down and
pondered a considerable time. No
body offered to "set 'em up." Final
ly he walked up to the counter and
addressed the bar-keeper:
"Say, mister, would you take a
man's lest cent for a drink?"
The bar keeper, who has no bowels
of compassion promptly responded:
"Ye 3, siree! business is business."
The fellow appeared staggered, but
after a little hesitation he put his
hand in his pocket and said:
"Well, hand it out. I must have
something."
The tanglefoot was eet before him
and he filled the glass. After drain
ing it, he removed his hand from his
pocket and laid down a copper cent.
The barkeeper was paralyzed for a
moment, and by the time he revived,
the tramp was at the door, politely
bidding him good evening.
—An exchange pertinently ob
serves that "Lawyers stand up in
court houses before jurors, in the
presence of large audiences, denounce
men as liars, scoundrels, thieves and
perjured villians, and when court ad
journs the men thus abused appear
to harbor no ill will against them.
But let a newspaper faintly intimate
that a man's character is blemished
and has got to confront a horse pistol,
stand a libel suit, or suffer the great
est of all mortifications—lose a sub
scriber."
Dyspepsia Mastered.
I- W. Tibbetts, Dakota, Minn.,
says ; " I arn using Tutt's Pills and
have better health than I have had
in thirty years. I have suffered
much with dyspepsia, but your pills
have mastered it.
—For having attended the English

Give Them A Chance !
That is to say, your lungs. Also
all your breathing machinery. Very
wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thou
sands of little tubes and cavities lead
ing from them. When these are
clogged and choked with matter
which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work
And what they do, they cannot do
well. Call it cold, cough, croup,
pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or
any of the family of throat and nose
and head and lung obstructions, all
are bad. All ought to be got rid of.
There is just one sure way to get rid
of them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup, which any druggist
will sell you at 75 cents a bottle.
Even if every-thing else has fuiied
you, you may depend upon this for
certain.
—A Nevada man who started out
to look for a grizzly bear found him

Consumption Can he Cured !
Not by any secret remedy, but by
proper, healthful exercise, and the
judicious use of Scott'■> Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil and Ilypophosphites,
which contains the healing and
Btrength-giving virtues of these two
valuable specifics in their fullest form.

—Charles Rutrgles, of Bridgeport,

—Beaver Falls boasts of a chicken
with four legs and three wings. It
belongs to Bertie Kelly, a boy who
in five years has not missed a day from

make a note of this.
—The best medical writers claim
that the successful remedy for nasal
catarrh must be non-irritating, easv
of application, and one that will, by
its own action, r<>ach all the remote
sores and ulcerated surfaces. The
history of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the last few years obliges us
to admit that only one remedy has
Completely met these cond itioop, and
that is Ely's Cream Balm This safe
and pleasant remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing el-:o has ever done,
and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more
distressing symptoms yield to it.
—The other day an old woman

ASKS YOUR
Attention!
While other merchants are singing their own praißes, we cause our customers
to acknowledge that our method of dealing is the best, our goctts second o Dene,
in fact superior to many usually kept and sold as THE BEST. "Butler and urrounding
country needed such a store as this," is the general encouraging words our customers give us, "and people will be
fast finding it out too." We keep good and well made goods only. Our cheapest garment is tewed with first
class thread, trimmed, lined and made up iu a substantial manner. Our medium and better grades take rank with
any Custom-made in the way of fitting and make up. while our FIXE PRESS SUITS must be seen to be appre
ciated. OUR PRICES are decidedly the lowest. Iu short we desire to state that we keep a full line of
Mens', Youths', Boys' and Childrens' Clothing
of all styles and grades. Every garment sold under a positive guarantee that it must be as represented or money
refunded. HATS, CAPS, UNDERWEAR, HOSIERY, etc ,in great variety. The latest styles of everything
pertaining to a first-class clothing store always on hand. The true fitting white and fancy shirts always on hand.
We ask those who have not as yet patronized our store to give us a fair trial. We have no doubt of the ulti
mate result. We invite one and all to call on us before purchasing their Clothes, Underwear or Hats elsewhere.
Remember, no misrepresentation, be he judge or no judge of goods, at
