SCIENTIFIC DIscUssIoN-A most AMI
mated dispute occurred on Cross street,
few days ago between Cato Brown and Jim
Totten, two factory hands, employed in one
of the tobacco factories, and we'll known for
their extensive information on all scientific
subjects. The question under discussion
was the shape of the earth. Cato contend
ed that it was fiat and stood on big rock,
theory which when advanced, drew forth
the following dialogue
Jim-You argers dat de world is flat and
stands on big rock, now want you otole me
what dat rock stand on?
Cato-Nigger, Use s'prised at your igner-
ance why it stands on annurer big rock.
Jim-(con6dent that he had his opponent
cornered)- what dose bofe of dem rocks
stan on?
Cato-(after a moments hesitatiou)-
Why, dar is rocks all de way down.
Jim-(with pompous air)-My colored
friend, Use sorry to see sich 'splays oh re-
mitigated obscurity in a gemman of your
egsalted pertensions allow me who has ex-
perienced superior opportunities, to correct
de very deroneous repression you has, and
inform you dat dis earf is round and devolves
on axles.
Cato-I knows how to depreciate de
feelin dat prompts you to distend to diss
nigger de information dat you furnish on de
question dat we is at present debatin', and
wild all reference to s'perior opportunities to
which you take occasion to prelude, must
disagree wild you on de freory dat you advan.
ces. Kase if de world was round and turned
on axles, wouldn't de axle-trees broke down
and spill all de people in the street? Answer
me dat.
1t is unnecessary to add that Jim was ut
terly confouuded by this overwhelming ar
gumeut, and forced to "knock under" to
the superior intellectual attainments of his
opponent.

@ Some years ago bill was up before
the Alabama Legislature for establishing
Botanical Medical College at Wetumpka.-
Several able speakers had made long address
ses in support of the bill, when one Mr..
Monrissett, from Monroe, took the floor
With much gravity he addressed the House
as follows:
"Mr Speaker, cannot support this bill
unless assured that distinguished friend
of mine is made one of the professors. He
is what that college wishes to make for u.s.
a regular root doctor, and will suit the place
exactly. He became doctor in two hours,
and it only cost him twenty dollars to COM
plete his education. he was called to see
a sick woman once, so he tucked his book
under his arm, ard off he went. She was
yery sick woman indeed, and he felt her
wrist, looked in her mouth, and then turn
ing to the husband, asked solemnly II he
had ssorrel sheep
sWhy, no, I never heard of such a thing
said the man.
sWell, there is such thing said the doc
tor, noddiug his head knowingly. 'HaVe you
got sorrel horse, thenT
sYes,' said the man, i drove him to mill
this morning
sWell,' said the doctor, 'he must be kill
ed Immediately, and some soup made OF him
for your wife,
The woman turned her head away, and the
astonished man inquired if something else
would not do for the soup, the horse was
worth hundred dollars, and was all the one
he had.
sNo,' said the doctor, sthe book says so,
and if you don't believe it 1 will show it to
you-e Good for fevers-sheep sorrel or
horse sorrel.' There, sir
sWhy, DOCTOR said the man and his wife,
eit don't mean sorrel sheep or horse, but -
well, I know what am about inter-
rupted the doctor that's the way we doc
tors read it, and we understand it,
Now continued the speaker amidst the
roars of the House, unless my sorrel doc
tor can be one ofthe professors, | must vote
against this BILL
The blow most efectually killed the bill,
it is needless to state.

How Sol. JACKSON GOT Poisoned
Sol. jackson was jest about the widest fel-
low in our town. He was regular coon.
Well, Sol was devil.may. care sort of a fel-
low, one of those who take amazingly with
the gals. One of the puttyest girls was
Nancy Williams; she had black eyes, beau
tiful hair, ct cetera, with jist the beautiful.
est waste you ever sot eyes on. She was
jist suited to Sol, and everybody said so,
exceptin' those chaps wot were in love with
her themselves. Sol was nifty attentive to
her, but whether he ever popped the ques-
tion, can't say; all I kno is, Sol suddenly
determined to commit susancide. He.went
to the sbotecary of Mr.. Thompson, and
says he
sGive me spoonful of arsenic
sWhat do you want it for said Mr.. Thomp-
.Oh,' says Sol, Il want to pisen some rats. ,
But Mr.. Thompson looked mitely suspi-
cious, and when Sol went out, he gived one
of the biggest hoss laffs you ever heard.
Sol went home, and as it was time to 60
to bed, he commenced undressin' when he
was dun, he tuck the pisen and put it into a
tumbler with a little water, and says he:
Nancy, you've drived me to this and
then he swallowed it rite down. Well bout
the middle of the mite he commenced to feel
bad, and he rolled from side to side, moanin'
and groanin', when he begun to feel so bad
that he got rale skeered, so he jumped out
of bed and commenced to yell out:
'Help, help! O Lord, I'm pisened'
Whena hole croud of people ran up to see
what was the matter, and there was the
greatest scene of confusion you ever saw.
Send for the DOCTOR beloved out Sol.
So off went Ben, his little brother, for the
doctor. Ben went to Thompson's, and says
he:
sOh, Mr.. Thompson, Sops pisened i!
Thompson bust out a lafin', and says he,
I'll 20 and see him
When he got there, Sol says:
sOh, Mr.. Thompson, that pisen you sold
me is KILN me-
'Oh,' says Thompson, in the coolest way
possible, 'twasn't pisen, 'twas only salts?
You can imagine what follered. I think
Sol threw pitcher at his head, which jist
missed his nose. Sol vowed he'd kill him,
but he never did.
