EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER SIR On my ar

time, a slanderous communication against me, pub
lished in your paper of the 9Th inst.
I do not feel that it is necessary or proper at this
time that I should enter into any self v:ndication or
refutation of statements put forth by irresponsible
parties, whose needs prompt them to awaken public
sympathy. in order to have their wants gratuitously
supplied but L merely wish to state now, in antici-
patton of a full and correctly attested statement
respecting the examination and management of a

denouncing me, which you have thought proper to

The Dutchman's Insurance.

A story is told Of German who had taken the
precaution to insure the life Of his wife for S.
900, and his stable for 5000, believing the for
mer might die and the latter be burnt and he
could not get along without some compensation
for the loss. Both policies had been taken from
the same agent. In few months after the stable
had been insured it was destroyed by 6re.-
Shmidt quietly notified the agent, and hiuted to
him that no would expect the 5000 at the earl-
est possible moment Tho agent at once sent a
carpenter to ascertain the cost of erecting q new
stable Of the same dimensions, having ascertain =
cd that the property had been insured for moro
than it was worth. The builder reported that
he could replace the stable with new material for
$500, but unfortunately there was an ordinance
preventing the erection Of frame buildings-the
old stabls haNi3. ,s.e m o a6 6 Sapd rHe=se1eF3ns
ed the amount at $3.50. The agent then notified
Shmidt that he would build him . new brick
stable!in place Of the old frame one. but Shmidt
became very indignant at the proposition, saying:
81 do not understand this Insurance business.
! pay You for $500, and when my stable burn
down you make me new one. Il not want q
new shtable. I want nine hundred dollars"
The agent reasoned With Shmidt, but all to no
purpose. When the stable was about finished,
Shmidt went To consult a lawyer, thinking he
could still git The amount Of the policy, besides
having the new stable.
The lawyer, however, informed him that the
company had right TO make good the loss by
building new stable, and expressed surprise at
tnc IDEA o. bringing SUIT against tneu.
"But" said Shmidt, 81 Insure for 5000, and
dis fellar put up dem shtsblc for seven hundred
and ffty-I do not understand the insurance
business"
Finding that no could not compel the payment
BY law, he became disguised with tho insurance
business altogether. Calling upon the agent,
Shmidt said
''Mr. Agent, want you to stop dem insurance
on mino frow. do not pay any more monish
dat way; do not understand this insurance bu-
siness."
Agent (surpriaed.) "Why, Mr.. Shmidt, you
are doing a very FOOLS ping. You have paid
considerable on this pJlI y already, and if your
wife should die you will get $1,000"
"Yaw, dat ish vat you tell me now" said
Shmidt. even pays you on my shtable you
say got 5000 if it burns down. So it was burnt,
and you not give me mine monish. You sny,
30, dat was an old franc shtable ish not word
anydings; make you brick shtable," and
you no pay me my 5000. Ven mine frow dies,
den you say to me, 80, she was an old Dutcl,
woman she not word anydings get you a

thousand dollars. You not foo! Shmidt again.

A MURDERoUs SEA FLowER.-One of
the exquisite wonders of the sea is called
the opolet, and is about as large as the Ger
man astcr, looking, indeed, very much like
one. Imagine very large double aster
with ever so many long petals of light
green, glossy as satin, and each ono tipped
with rose color. These lovely petals do
not lie quietly in their places like those of
the aster in your garden, but wave about
in the water; while tho opolet generally
cliugs to rock. How innocent and lovely
it looks on its rocky bed !! Who would
suspect that it could cat anything grosscr
than dew or sunshine? But those beauti-
full waving arms, Us you call them, have
another use besides looking pretty. They
have to provide food for large, open mouth,
which is hidden deep down among them
so we'll hidden that one can scarcely find
it. Well do they perform their duty, for
the instant that foolish little fishlet touch
es one of the rosy tips he is struck with
poison as fatal to him as lightning. He
Immediately becomes numb, and in a mo-
mcnt stops struggling, and then the other
beautiful arms wrap themselves around
him, and he is drawn into the huge, greedy
mouth, and Is seen no more. Then the
lovely arms unclose and wave again in the
water, looking as innocent and harmless rs
though they had never touched fish,

DIVINE VIsITATIoN-The Centreville
(Md.) Observer publishes the following in
iB1ditorial column "A singular case is
reported to Us as having occurred at the
National Camp Meeting at Darlington, last
week. Mr.. Benjamin B. Perkins, of Ches,
tertown, has been mortified from bis youth
with an impediment in bis speech, and
when excited, it becomes so great that he
sometimes cannot talk at all. At ono OF
the revival meetings q. the camp, Mr.. Per-
kins asked for the prayers of The people for
the removal Of the impediment, pledging
himself to use his tongue, if 80 oloosened, to
the glory Of God. A minister was asked to
lead 10 prayer, which he did and as lie was
aboYs closing, Mr.. Perkins arose exolaim- :

EyA good, but we know not how re-
liable story, is relatsd Of a venerable doc
tor of the experimental and eclectic school
of medicine. 1t was ono of his rules nev-
cr to have anything wasted and, therefore,
when any prescription remained after the pa
ticnt had died or recovered, ho would emp
ty it into bottle kept for tho purpose =,
that became the receptacle of heterogo-
neous compound that science could not an
alyzc. A younger member of the facu lty
noted this Us very singular fact, and ask
cd of him the reason for it: The doctor
hesitatcd little, and then replied that,
though in ordinary cases he knew we'll what
to do, there were instances when all his
medical skill failed. At such times it was
his custom to resort to the big bottle, and
leave nature and accident to accomplish the
cure. "Aud, will you bolieve it, said he,

s@Two painful cases of "hydrophobia"
have just occurred in St. Louis. One Of
them has proved fatal and the other, at the
latest report, was hopeless. 1t seems to us
to be extremely desirable that this subject
of canine madness should receive a tho
rough scientific investigation. At present u
bout half the faculty believe that there IL
really such disease, while. the othor half
are skeptical. The first case above mention
ed is curious. Tho patient slept, in conso-
qucnce of the heat, in yard in which dog
was confined, and this animal afterward cx-
hibitcd symptoms Of madness. But the
minutost examination failed to show that
the boy had been bitten at all. Ho had
however, a recent cut upon his hand, tbro'
which ho might have been innoculated with
the virus There is a warning in this, for
it shows the danger of permitting any dog
to lick the hand.-Ne.0 York Tribune.

A REMEDY FOR SNAKE BITE.-I havo

that werc bitten by rattle snakes last season.
In two instances I killed tho snakes. A
very largo snake bit horse while he was
harnessed to n wagon. ran to house
near by, procured piece of indigo, the
size of three or four grains Of corn I
moistcd and softencd it with spirits of cam
phor, and rubbed it on the wound and drove
on-without any perceptible injury to tho
animal. Another A valuable rat dog was
bitten on tho side of his nose it mado
him howl and run around as if in great
pain; wo applied the indigo MS before, aud
he soon recovered. have never known this
remedy to fail, and as it may not be gen.
orally known, give it to you for the bene-

RIPE FRUIT.-Nothiug is more wholo-
some than the moderate and seasonablc in =
diligence in ripe fruit as IN article of dict.
1t is very common error that ripe fruit
is the cause Of sickpcss. So far from this
being tho case, tho Oldest and best physi-
clans have recommended fruit, fresh, and
ripe, in its season, as one of natures rem
edies and correctives for many ailings, COM
mon in summer, such as bowel complaints,
diarrhoa aud dyscntcry. Of course unripo
fruits of any kind arc unwholesome.
