1 LII Glc lOuGlCS WHOoC TcCeuG at fSDrlnOfiald from the kicking of very powerful stallion, we mentioned few days since, probably owes his life to the apparent insign fcant fact that he was at the time smoking cigar! At the very in stant that the horse dashed out with his heels Mir. Scranton was raising his hand to his month to take out his cigar, and the blow that must otherwise have crushed in the ribs on his right side, took effect on the arm, pounding it to a Jelly, and severely bruising with it, the right side, breaking no bones. Let the opponents of the use of tobacco take note that here is case where cigar saved mans life, and that life one that would have been very much missed by large number of people.-N. II. Pulzaoimm. We take note, and charge the accident entire . ly to the fact that the man was smoking. The 1 sudden motion of raising his hand to his cigar was regarded by the horse as a menace. and he kicked in self-defence.-Life Illustrated.
 This IS too much even for the tombstone qray- lty Of denouncers of the weed.

 Spaulding X Co. of New York. the great prepared glue men, have cleared $6O GOO with ln year past, on the sale of their glue. which they attribute in the main, to the policy of ex- tensive advertising. They went into it on the i Bonner scale; and so satisfactory has been the result-the already immense demand for the ar tice steadily and rapidly increasing-that they expect to loom up in still more magnificent pro- portions in the colums of the press during the ensuing year. So much for. .firiM in advertising and bold and judicous action founded thereon

 TIE FcsIoN.-The Eeeuing you,7,al has the following language in regard to the Democratic fusion
 Remembering, as we do how long and tepa- clously the Democracy was powerful, by adher- 1 cnce to its principles. usage and discipline, we are amazed at the folly that has dwarfad and de- l TnJ In It, hnttn l.. tines fell into the hands of traders and tricksters the Democratic party would have preferred a dozen defeats, rather than resort to or rely on bargains with other opponents When converts from other parties came to them accepting their principles they were received But the idea of dividing an Elect.ral Ticket with three hostile partles-each their avowed opponents-would have been secuted by the leaders, as it will now be spurned by the rank and file.
 How TO GET IT OUT OF THEM-The police, it is sad have at last found out how to bring villain to confession. The plan is to keep the ! victim in the station house all day and at night | lock him in cell. The cell is alive with bed bugs and vermin of all kinds. Just before the key is turned the prisoner is asked if he has any thing to tell. This done in low voice and amiable manner. If he says nothing.' then the door is locked, and he is left to his fate
 If he survives till morning, he is inquired of, kindly how he has rested, to which he designs no answer, but looks daggers. All day he looks like very much abused individual But as the shades of evening approach, he is found to be getting hdgety and very communicative. The culprit begins by saying that he has something on his mind He wonders if he tells all he knows and some things he does not know, whether he shall have to stay another night in that place of torment. He IS ready to disgorge and tell the < whole story" We often hear it said this is a knowing age. But we think it remained for our police to find out what bed bugs are made for ". y. Sun. {
