The Bachelor Juror.

A gentleman who rather given to
story telling relates the following:
When | was young man ! spent
several years in the South, residing for
a while at Port Hudson on the Missis
sippi river. A great deal of litigation
was going on there about that time
and it was not always an easy matter

moned to act in that capacity, and re.
paired to court to get excused.

Water Telescopes.

The people of Norway carry in
their fishing boat water telescope, or
tube three or four feet IN length. they
immerse one end in the water, and
then looking intently through the
glass, they are able to perceive objects
ten or fifteen fathoms deep, as distinct
ly as if they were within few feet of
the surface. SO when they discover
plenty of fish, in good locality
they surround them with their large
draught nets, and often catch them
in hundreds at a haul, which, were it
not for those telescopes, would fre.
quently prove a aprecarisus and unprof.
table fishing. This instrument is not
only used by fishermen, but il also
found in the navy and coasting vessels.

Sleep, Painting, Apoplexy.

When a man is asleep, his pulse
beats and his lungs play, but he is
without sense, and you can easily wake
him up.
If person faints, he too, is without
sense, hut he has no pulse and does not
breathe.
Apoplexy is between the two; the
heart beats, the lungs play as in sleep,
and there is no sense, as in fainting,
but you cannot shake the man back
to life.
In sleep, the face is natural; in a
fainting fit, it has the pallor Of death
in appoplexy, it is swollen, turgid and
fairly lived.
If a man is asleep let him alone
nature will awake him up as soon as
he has got sleep enough.
When person faints, all that Is
needed is to lay him down fat on the
floor and he will "come to" in double
quick time. He tainted because the
heart missed a beat, failed for an in
stant, failed for only once to send the
proper amount of blood to the brain.
If you place the patient in horizon
tai position, lay him ON his back, it
does not require much force Of the
heart to send the blood on a level to
the head; but if you set man up, the
blood has to be shot upwards to the
head, and this requires much more
force yet in nine cases out of ten, if
q person faints and falls to the floor,
the first thing done is to run to him
and set him up, or place him on a
chair.
In apoplexy, as there is too much
blood in the head, every one can see
that the best position is to set man
up, and the blood naturally tends
downward, much so as water will come
out of a bottle when turned upside
down, if the cork is out.
If, then, man is merely asleep, let
him alone, for the face is natural if
man has tainted, lay him fiat on his
back, for his face is deadly pale; if a
man is apoplectic, set him in a chair,
because the face is turgid, swollen, liv-
id, with its excess of blood.

Rates of Advertising.
Not Much Of a Sportsman.

The gentleman mentioned in tho
following anecdote might have served
as an original for Dickens Mr.. Win
kle: Once, when Mr.. Buxton was
staying with Mr.. Coke, at Holkham, q
well-known professor was also one Of
the visitors. The venerable historian
had never had a gun in his hand, but
on this occasion Mr.. Coke persuaded
him to accompany the shooting party;
care, however, was taken to place him
at the corner of the covert, where it
was thought the other sportrmen would
be out of his reach. When the rest
of the company came up to the spot
where he was standing, Mr. Coke said
to him: "Well, what sportf you have
been firing pretty often" Hush, :"
said the professor, ,"there it goes again."
and he was just raising the gun to his
shoulder, when a man walked very
quietly from the bushes about seventy
yards in front Of him. 1t was one Of
the beaters who had been sent to stop
the pheasants, and his leather gaiters,
dimly seen through the bushes, had
been mistaken for hare by the pro.
fessor, who, much surprised at its ten
acity for life, had been firing at it
whenever he saw it move. But said
Mr.. Buxton, "the man had never dis
covered that the professor wasshooting
at him."

health, his character and his con-

is not that sin2 He knows that his
habits of indulgence will disqualify
him for the performance of the duties

which should elevate him above the
dumb beast, they intensity and quicken

The Norwich Comm Bulletin tells
pathetic little story about a pigeon
which became fastened by a long string
hanging from its leg to a telegraph
wire on Main street, in that city. Two
or three cruel boys wanted to throw
stones at 1t, but a kind gentleman, tell
ing them not to hurt the poor bird, got
a ladder and carefully unwound the
string and put the frightened, futter-
ing little creature tenderly into his
bosom while he descended. The next
evening he remarked that it had made
a much nicer pie than he expected.
Miss Laura Ream overhears such
remarks as these at Chicago social
gatherings: "Look how elegantly Mrs.
T. is dressed. 1t is the first time she
has been out sincehe divorce. There
is Mrs. L., too, and the case in the
papers SO lately. Would you have

An Editors Shirt.

Editors have frst-rate time in
Texas. The ladies of town out there
have given to the editor of the paper,
an embroidered shirt which contains Il
pictorial history Of Texas, including
the war with Mexico, and the meeting
of the first Legislature, and also pic.
lures Of the State, all worked in red
worsted. The editor never wore a
shirt in his life, and he thought this
was a flag for temperance procession
which was TO come off the next week.
So he made little speech of thanks,
in which he said he would fling it out
forever to the breezes of heaven, that
they might kiss its folds, and that un-
til his hands palsied it should never
be trailed in the dust-never. The
ladies didn't understand him, ,and when
he talked about its trailing. they blush
ed and said they we're sorry they made
it too long. But a committeeman took
the editor aside and explained. The
next day he appeared in the Office with
that shirt mounted over his coat, and
wrote four columns of explanation for
his paper. The shirt is much admired
by the boys Of all ages of the town,
and whenever the editor goes out for a
walk, they follow him in regiments,
studying the history of Texas and the
fine arts on the back Of it,
