A Story About Uncle J«ke.
While in Washington some years ago
Uncle Jake Ziegler, of Butler anil Captain
John Hastings, of this town, came to the ,
city on a politicai mission. Meeting
them at the National Hotel we were in
troduced to the Butler county philosoph
er, and we all walked up the Avenue to
gether. Uncle Jake was feeling quite
"raspederious," as Hoarce Mehring
would say, and was full of Jokes aiyl
good humor. Uncle Jake saw that he
had made a hit with us, and seemed to
make an extra effort to he jolly. One
instant we distinctly remember. As we
walked along, a very larye and very
black "colored lady" passed us. She
was dressed within an inch or two of her
life, and swept along like a stately ship
As soon as she got by Uncle Jake stop
ped, assumed a solemn expression and a
dramatic attitude and said:
"She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and sunny skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes"
And then Uncle Jake and Captair
Hastings laughed heartily.—Punxs'y

Disinfectants should be used extensively at this season of the year,
the Ixst being copperas, chloride-lime, and crude carbolic acid, the
latter being better than the pure, as in purifying an important disin
