The Drunkards Cure.

Some monlhs, ago a gentle
man advertised that he had dis.
covered a sure specific for the
cure Of drunkenness. He
would not diyulge the secret OF
what compounds he used. but
furnished the medicine at so
much per bottle. He did not
have SO many applicants for
cure as he expected consider
ing the extent of the disease.
In fact, the more malignant
cases did not seem anxious for
relief. They rather appeared
to enjoy their malady. A few,
howev, r, placed themselves
under his treatment, and some
were cured whether by tax.

and now has not the least taste

0lden CongressionaI Fun.

M. T. Walworth, in his political re-
searches, brings to light the following
piece of Congressional fun; When the
question of the emblems and devices
for our national arms was before the
old Congress, a member from the
South warmly opposed the eagle as a
monarchical bird. The king Of birds
could not be a suitable representative
of country whose institutions were
founded in hostility to kings. Judge
Thatcher, in reply, proposed the goose.
which he said was most humble and
republican bird, and would in other re-
spects prove advantageous, inasmuch
as the goslings would be convenient to
put on the ten cent pieces. The laugh
ter which followed was more than the
Southerner could bear. Constituting
this good-humored irony into an insult,
he sent a challenge. Thatcher return
ed it to the bearer, observing that he
would not accept it. "Whatl will you
be branded as coward?" eyes sir,
if he pleases. l always was coward,
and he knew it, or he never would
have sent a challenge to me-" The
Joke was too good to be resisted, even
BY the angry party. 1t occasioned IN
finite mirth in Congressional circles,
and the former cordial intercourse be-
tween the parties was restored.

The Crust Of the Earth.

If we bury thermometer fifty feet
below the surface of the earth the
mercury will remain at the same point
the year round, in winter and summer,
showing that the influence of the sun
does not reach below that depth. If
we carry the thermometer fifty feet
lower, the mercury will rise one de-
gre, and will rise in the same ratio for
every fifty feet we go down. 1t can
be easily calculated at what depth all
known substances will melt. This
would not exceed fifty miles. 1t will
thus be seen that the crust, or solid
part, of the earth is very thin in pro-
portion to the diameter; not so thick
as an egg shell in proportion to the size
of the egg. With crust SO thin, con-
stantly cooling. and producing pres
sure upon the internal masses, it is not
strange that the beds of oceans should
be elevated and form dry land, and
continents should sink and form the
beds of oceans. Large mountains have
been elevated in a single day, and
whose cities have been sunk in the same
space of time. The side of volcanic
mountain once broke away, and the
livid masses flowed out, forming river
twelve miles wide, which in its course
melted down six hills six hundred feet
high, filling up valleys six hundred
feet deep, and spreading over sur
face of eleven hundred square miles

Good Practical Joke.
The following is making its annual
tour through the newspapers.

The following is making its annual
tour through the newspapers:
While Roxbury was yet in the su-
burbs (of Boston, Mungo Mackey was
one day crossing its common. when he
saw man laboring along heavily, un-
der load of "New England rum."-
He watched him for a time, and seeing
him nearing an olddry well. and at the
same time noticing an old blind horse
grazing in the vicinity, with a bell
round his neck, his prevailing pro-
pensity began to loom up. and he sohl-
oquized thus: eff he should only
tumble into the well, and he is in fair
way to do so, couldn't l play him
joke" Sure enough, in tumbled the
rummist. He, drunk as he was, had
noticed the horse, and immediately he
recovered from the shock of the fall,
which had in some degree sobered him,
he exclaimed: "What if that dared old
blind horse should tumble in here on
me? Oh, LordT' AMI Just as if the
thought had prompted the act, tinkle,
tinkle, tinkle, came the bell, nearer and
nearer, threatening certain destruction.
if providence did not stay the blind
horses course. "Oh, good Lordi
there he comes. Here l lay me down
Ball, damn your old blind
picture. Here lay me--UAod, Balli"
Tinkle. tinkle, and the gravel began to
descend on the poor devils head
"Oh! mercy, mercy, good Lordl I'll
never get drunk again, spare-whoal
Ball, damn you, whoa. Here l lay me
whoa, Ballr'
1t is needless to explain that Mackay
had taken the bell from the horses
neck, and was playing one of his jokes.
When he had tortured the unfortunate
man, in the retreat of truth, to de-
gree approximating frenzy, he gave
vent to one of his peculiar cachinations,
helped the man out, and both went
their way rejoicing.

E In his speech at Eaton on last
Friday, Mr.. Richland Smith, gave the
following good exposition of the way
which Geo. H. Pendleton the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, favored
the taxation of bonds:
81 want to tell you another thing
about that. The Republican Legisla-
ture passed the tax law. 1t was en-
forced last year for the first time
When the tax was assessed upon the
National Banks, our distinguished
friend, Mr.. George H. Pendleton, who
happened to be large stockholder and
Director in one of the Cincinnati Ma
tional Banks, the Commercial National
Bank of Cincinnati; did he pay the tax?
No, he did not, until the bank was
compelled to pay it. The bank of
which Mr.. Pendleton was a Director
was the first to propose to resist this
tax law. They sent circular to every
one of the stockholders advising them
not to pay the tax. Then they went
around to the other banks and sug-
gested that they unite in resisting this
tax. And they did for while but
we're compelled to pay it. .'
"Now what is the difference between
Mr.. Pendleton and Republicans? Here
is my friend. Mr.. Eggleston, who is a
stoekholder in one of the National
Banks of Cincinnati. He wasin Wash
ington City at the time and when his
bank went into this arrangement to re-
sist the payment of this tax, the notice
was sent TO Mr.. Eggleston, and he i'm
mediately wrote back, to his clerk to go
to the Treasury and pay his tax
Now, this is the difference between the
Republican, who is acting upon, and
the Democrat who is seeking hobby
upon which to ride into Office. Mr..
Pendleton is in favor of the tax provi-
ded somebody else pays it, but when
it comes to himself be is opposed to
it. But as 1 said before they paid the
tar, and what is more, they paid the
penalty for not having paid the tax
within the time.'"

FELoNs ON THE FINGER.-Many per-
sons are liable to extreme suffering
from felons on the finger. These af-
flictions are not only very painful, but
not unfrequently occasion permanent
Gripping of the member affected. The
following simple concoctiou is recon-
mended as sure cure for the distress
ing ailment: Take common rock salt,
such as is used for sailing down pork
and beef, dry it in an oven, then pound
it fne and mix it with spirits of tur-
pentine in equal parts. Put it on a
rag, wrap it around the. thumb, and as
it gets dry put on some more, and in
twenty-four hours, we are assured, the
felon will be dead.
