The Truss Wan Again.

The Truss Wan Again.
DR.. Jacob A. Sherman, the notorious truss in
ventor who received the memorable letter from
Henry Ward Beecher, advising him to truss his
his own mouth up, has had Cauldwell and Whit
ney up before Justice Shandley, at Jefferson
Market Police Court, on charge of libel. The
libel consisted in having published Mr.. Beechers
letter and also the letter of victim to the truss
signing himself Tommy Dodd" Messrs Cauld-
well and Whitney recently lost heavily on
libel suit, and live in an atmosphere which is
forever threatening one. This must always be
the case with q newspaper which processes to
falter at no means, provided the law be evaded,
by which pecuniary success is TO be obtained;
but l am inclined to think that on the present
casion they will be let up easy.
Mrs. Robert Dale Owen
has been creating o sensation in Sorasis. 1t is
not often that members of that association have
the opportunity of listening to so much sense
and sentiment expressed in so brief compass.
Her two principal points were that so long as
women have the providing of mans food they
can govern him as they choose, and that if it
became general practice for married women to
support themselves their husbands would quickly
90 to ruin. Mrs. Owen makes no pretensions
to being young woman, and consequently her
remarks commended themselves by reason of the
very maternity with which they were weighted.
Dangerous Drug Clerks.
The New York drug clerks have two or three
little eccentricities which their patrons get used
TO (when they survive them), but which strike
the stranger in Knlckerbocker as being rather
singular One of these ecceutricities consists In
substituting deadly poisons for drugs whose
action is presumed to be the reverse Of deadly
and to have a decidedly enlivening effect. An
other may be illustrated in this wise:-Yor
enter a fashionable drugstore without eve
having done anything that you are aware
of calculated to give any offense to any EN-
ploye there. Notwithstanding this littl
fact in your favor, a youth bursting frou
some unknown lair applies to his lips one O
those arrangements consisting of two glas
tubes at right angles to each other, one of ther
being inserted in bottle filled with liquid pei
fume. In an instant you are enveloped in
cloud of scented spray, the particles of wkic
settle on your whiskers, down your neck, u
your nose. tits in vain you resist. Ottar impede
what you would utter; and If you beat a retre'
the same aromatic Welcome awaits you els

TIE LABoRING MEN.-It seems strange, as

congresses and conventions arc never managed
by downright laboring men, but arc invariably
mes cd ard wire pulled by people " bo never
did day 5 work in shop, or anywhere else
excepting at political primaries and political
caucuSes. The Labor Congress now sitting in
the West have uttered some bold truths; but
they are plcdging themselves to the support OF
very dangerous doctrines, through which
course they will not be likely to benefit their
chief cause.

how To do the best thing at the right time.

evidently been turned out OF doors when
all his money was gone. In moment my
friend FASTENED across the street. and. en-

Twill YOU oblige me with the largest
sheet OF paper YOU have?'
What for, my friend? What's the

"Oh. Won shall see in minute or two.
Please let it be the very largcs, sheet YOU
have"
Now, will you lend me Il piece of

why, what are YOU going Ia do

He then quickly printed in large letters,
"Sptcjmcn Of the cork don6 inside
He then fastened the paper right over
the drunken man. and retired short dis

In a very short time a crowd assembled,
and the publican, hearing the noise and
laughter outside came ont To see what il
was all about. He eagerly bent down and
read the inscription on the paper, and then
demanded, in an angry voice, Who did
that -
(Which :" asked my friend who now
Joined the crowd. If YOU mean what is
on the paper, did that; bnt if YOU mean
