A TIGER FRIGHTENED By A Mouse.
traveller gives the following anecdote of a tig-
er kept at the British Residency at Calcutta:
"But what annoyed him far more :.han
our poking him with sticks, or nalizing
him With Sims Of beef or legs'of mutton,
was mouse, introduced iut3 his cage. No
fine lady ever exhibited more terror at the
sight of spider, taan this magnificent roy.
al tiger betrayed an seeing mouse. Our
mischieyous plan was to tie the little animal
by string to the tigers nose. The, mo.
ment he saw it, he leaped to the opposite
side, and when the mouse was made to run
near him, he jammed himself into a corner,
and stood trembling and roaring in such an
ecstasy Of fear that we were always obliged
TO des'st, in pity to the poor brute. Some.
times we insisted on his passing over the
spot where the UNCONSCIOUS little. mouse ran
backwards and forwards. For a long time,
however, we could not get him to move; till
at length, believe by the help of suid, we
obliged him ostart, but instead of pacing
leisurely across in his den, or of making q
detour to avoid the object of his alarm, he
generally took kind of flying leap, so high
as nearly to bring his back in contact With
the roof of his cage"

Popularity.

A great many people at the present day
think more Of obtaining publicity and pop.
ularity, than Of any other one thing they
could possibly be possessed Of But anx-
ious as they may be to acquire the vain glo-
~ ofthe popular voice, none ever succeeded
to 80 great an extent as has that world-re-
Downed remedy known as Goes Dough
Balsam. There is scarcely family in the
land but what consider supply of this ar
ticle as necessary to the household as their
flour or provisions. Experience has taught
the people that no other remedy has ever
been put before the public that will cure
coughs, colds, colds, Group, sore throat and
in fact all throat and lung complaints, as
quickly and as effectualy as Goes Cough
Balsam. In the Eastern States, where it
has been long known and tested, it is con
sidered as the most reliable cough remed Y
extant and no'one, either rich OF poor,
think of being without it. We would sug-
gest to oil our readers the necessity of keep
ing on hand an article ofthis kind for i'm
mediate use. It costs but 40c. per bottle,
and is sold at all our drug stores. and is
The cheapest and best remedy in the world.

DOdging a Fee.
From Hon. O. II, Smiths "reminiscences of
Early Indian Trials.

l. a. f. /
At a term of the Circuit Court of the Un-
tied States, was requested by Daniel j.
Caswell, to be employed for Nicholas L ong.
worth, of Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the veal.
thiest men Of the State. was highly
pleased with the employment, looking for.
ward, of course, to a liberal fee, punctually
paid, as was assured by Mr.. Coswell would
be the case. So.
1t was an action of ejectment, brought by
David Close, of Rising Sun, against Long.
worth, for a. tract of land in Dearborn coun.
ty. Judge Holman was on the bench. Mr..
Oaswell had to leave for Columbus next day,
and wished to deliver over the case to me,
as the sole attorney for Longworth. Mr..
Caswell left before the case was reached on
the docket
The trial lasted several days. and was
warmly contested by both sides. Judge
Holman charged the law against us, and the
plaintiff recovered the land. l Immediately
informed Longworth, and requested him to
pay ME a fifty dollars-about one-fourth
what should have charged him.
He refused to pay me, On the ground that
| was not his lawyer. Mr.. Caswell then
called upon him, as he told me. and Long.
worth refused to pay him because he had
not attended to the case. This gave me
enough Of rich attorney clients, who would
refuse to pay for services rendered .hem.-
- a.
Longworth, besides being wealthy, was at
that time cunning lawyer. He had not
then reached his high position Of successful
rivalry of French winters in sparkling Ca.
