What Was He 2

A Jolly young fellow, named Corcor-
IN, when he arrived in this country,
some years since, propounded puzzle
to gruf old clerk in the New York
City Hall, which he believed to have
shortened that officials days. Corcor-
IN went up to the Office for his "first
papers" The deputy was a serious old
chap, who, without ever looking up,
proceeded to put the formal interrog-
atories.
What's your name ~ he demanded.
"John Corcoran"
"Your age"
Twenty-one.
"What nativity?"
Well-th;at's what bothers me-Ill
tell you, and may be you can make it
ont. My father was Irish, my mother
English, and was born on board of a
Dutch brig, under the French flag, in
Flemish waters. Now how is that?"
The oil clerk looked up aghast, SHOW
ed his speetacles on his brow, and slow
ly made answer: "Young man, your
nativity and that OF your Saviour are
the only ones which ever puzzled me-"

Labrador,

A correspondent of the Boston Tray
eller considers Labrador everything
but an Arcadia. The length OF the en-.
tire territory from north to south is
about seven hundred miles, with a
breadth of four hundred and eighty
nearly double the extent in Newfound-
land, to which the greater part of it bo-
longs. OF Labrador the writer says
that it is zone of the most uninviting
regions, rs an abode of civilized man,
on the face of the earth. The climate
is savage, the snow lying from Septem
Der to June; the coast in winter is block
SIDED by ice-ields drifting from Baffin s
Bay, and in summer the glittering ice
bergs, stranded or floating, impart a
stern beauty to the grim and rocky
shores. Storms of terrific character
are frequent. The soil is barren, and
but for it's valuable fisheries of cod,
seals and herring, there would be but
fow inducements to visit these savage
shores. The table land of the interior
is at one place 2,240 feet above the
ocean. Professor Hind, who explored
a portion of the interior, says:
cit liz pre-e1ninently sterile, and
where the country Is not burned, carl
bee moss covers the rocks, with stunt
ed spruce, birch and aspen in tho hol-
lows and deep ravines. The whole of
the table-land IS strewn with an infinite
number of boulders, sometimes three
and four deep. These singular erratics
are perched on the summit of every
mountain and hill, often on the edge Of
cliffs. and thew yarv in size from one
foot to twenty feet in diameter, Lam

ton of the table. land Of the Labrador
Peninsula"
With the exception of few widely
separated posts of the Hudson's Bay
Company and score of settlements on
the st. Lawrence and Atlantic coasts,
the peninsula is uninhabited by civiliz-
ed men. Sportsmen will, however find
no lack of game, while the botanist and
geologist will never be at IL loss for a
new subject to study

4 Man Carries Bullet in his Head Tor
Two Years.

The Troy Times gives the following:
About two years and a half ago, Ed
ward Agan, d tallyman in the railroad
freight depot on Green Island, after O.
long dcbanch, produced q large-sized
Colts revolver, entered his bedroom,
said his prayers, and while upon his
knees placed the muzzle Of the weapon
into his mouth and fired. The ball
passsd through the upper jaw, and
lodged in the left hemisphere of the
brain, producing an injury that in nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a
Thousand would have proved fatal. DR..
Mclean, OF Troy, was called to attend
the man, bnt after seeing him express
scd the opinion thet he would not live
more than u few hours at most. The
man continued to survive, however, and
the doctor to attend him, until the case
has grown to be one of the most re-
markable in the whole history of sur
glcal practice. MIR. Agan is now in the
old Troy hospital at the head of Wash
lngton street, where we saw him yester
day. His left eye protrudes badly and,
being bloodsho5 and inhamed, gives his
features rather repuls1ve aspect. He
is mere wreck OF his former self; and
though the right eye expresses intelli-
gence the functions of the brain have
been greatly impaired by the injury
He has lost the power of articnlating
words beyond the single phrase "Good
morning" and being paralyzed on the
right side is also unable to express his
wants by signs. While trying to spell
his name he forgot the connection of
the letters, and gave up the task with
shake of the head. It is evident the
ball has lodged in the brain back of the
eye, where it has become iucysted, and
forces the optic out cf its normal posi-
ton. Several medical gentlemen have
visited the unfortunate man, and all
have expressed the greatest interest IN
he case

Cheering Facts for the Bilious
Every day demonstrates more clearly that
liver complaint in all its distressing forms, can
be controlled and cured without difficulty or
inconvenience 1t is an obstinate disease, but
its obstinacy is not proof against the pertina-
cious, remedial and restorative operation of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That genial cor
rective conpels the organ to do its duty. 1t must
secrete regularly and BEAUTIFULLY under the in
fuence of the Bitters. Their action brings it
back from state Of rebellion into perfect har-
mony with the laws of health. If there is cos
tiveness, it disappears; if there is side-ache or
back-ache, it ceases if the skin and the whites
of the eyes are tinged with superhuous bile,
they recover their natural hue; if the appetite
is gone, it is restored in brief, whatever the
symptoms of the complaint may be, and what
ever the phase it has assumed, a cure is certain.
Such are the uniform effects of this preparation
where bilious disease has been already devel-
oped; but in cases where there is merely con-
stitutional tendency to liver complaint, it may
be prevented throughout life by the regular use,
in small quantities, of this palatable antidote.
These are proven facts, and should be seriously
pondered-or, rather, they should be promptly
acted upon-by all persons of bilious habit.

are caught and killed long before they are

But let us take the negative side Of this
question. Therears about twenty-five shores

FIVE hundred acres 6shed over, and all the
spawn destroyed Now, we will be moderate
to say, that there are only two thousand gill;
nets-and have been credibly informed by
respectable gentlemen there are more-and
they fish over one hundred acres each. That
makes about two hundred thousand acres
dragged over. aud every stick covered with
spawn turned over, backwards and forwards,
daily and nightly every gravel bottom, rock
and log dragged over, scraped and scowered,
top and sides, daily for three long. bloody
months. 1t is needless to tell me their nets
do not go to the bottom, when they have
strings fifteen and twenty feet long te let them
down below the keels and entre-boards OF
vessels. But will be more accommodating,
and suppose that only half true. Then there
are only one hundred Thousand acres scower.
