SINGULAR AUDIENCE IN AN ORLEANS CAFE
CHANTANT.-A Prussian officer relates that
shortly after the retaking of Orleans by the Ger
mans he happened to be passing through a de-
serted street, and on coming in front of what
had formerly been one Of the most popular cafe
chantants of the town, but which are now sup
posed to be closed, he heard the deep, vibrant
tones of a grand piano, played upon, apparently,
by some master hand. There was also heard in.
the interval trampling of many feet, betoken-
ing large audience. Curious to know how
such thing could happen so soon after the
confusion into which the town had been thrown
by the recent battle, he entered and found
seated on the music stool a Prussian train
soldier, while all around him in the vast audi
ence hall-which had been brilliantly lighted up
for the occasiOn-and pressing close up to the
platform, were his charges, great troop of
horses, who filled the hall and stood with pointed
ears and erect heads eagerly listening to the

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Prosecuted 0rgan.-The human stomach
has been a shamefully prosecuted organ.
There was time when for every dereliction
of duty it was punished with huge doses of
the most disgusting and nauseous drugs. In
vain it rejected them, and literally returned
them upon the hands Of those who admins
tered them. They were forced upon it again
and again, untilits solvent power was thor
oughly drenched out Of it.
The world is wiser new than 1t was in that
drastic era. when furious purgation and mer-
curial salvation were what Artemus Ward
would have called the main holt" of the
faculty. in cases of dyspepsia and liver Gem
plant.
The great modern remedy for indigestion
and biliousness is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
a preparation which has the merit of com
bining a palatable flavor with such tonic,
aperient and anti-bilious properties as were
never heretofore united in any medicine.
1t has been discovered, at last. that sick
people are not like the tabled Titans, who
found prostration so refreshing that, when
knocked down. they rose from the earth twice
as vigorous as before. When an invalid is

being aware of the fact. prefer the building mp
to the knocking dot0n system of treatment.
Hostetter's Bitters meet the requirements of
the rational medical philosophy which at
present prevails. 1t is perfectly pure vege-
table remedy. embracing the three important
properties of a preventive, tonic. and an
Alternative. 1t fortifes the body against dis
ease, invigorates and re-vitalizes the torpid
stomach and liver. and effects a most salutary
change in the entire system, when in morbid
condition.
In this country. where the ehfeebling tenn
perature renders the human organization par
ticularly susceptible to unwholesome atmos-
pheric Influences. the Bitters should be taken
as a protection against epidemic disease.

OF course nobody but Don Piatt could
be responsible for the following:
The latest story that is going the
rounds here is told of one Of the Secre-
tary Joints, as the Secretaries were
called to distinguish them from the High
Joints. This was an elegant youth,
rather slender and tall, whose talk began
and ended in one short sentence winch
said: Jaw, | beg y'r pardon, which
drawled out has very pleasing result
and is being generally initiated 9y our
free-born youth of America about WASH
ington.
Il seems that tbs sprig Of English no
bility was invited to pass some days at
the country house of wealthy Amerl-
can, and late at'night before retiring
concluded 90 take I" a bath, you know,
and so directed by servant he found
his way to the bathroom, and turning on
the warm water was soon enjoying at iuil
length the delicious souse of an entire
relaxation of his aristocratic person and
repose of his aristocratic intellect.
Unfortunately the daughter OF the
house also concluded to take dip IN
the tub, and not knowing what tneir IL
lustrious guest had done to himself, I'M
dressed in her room, ran hurriedly along
the hall for fear of meeting some one,
and darling into the bathroom closed
and locked the door. Whatwas her con-
sternation to see head raised languidly
from the tub, and voice exclaim;
Aw, ] beg nawdon.
She screamed scream--l indulge IN
no exaggeratiou when | say that that
girl screamed scream of the first mag
nitude, and then she screamed another
scream as, in her confusion, she turned
the key in the wrong direction, and so
did not open the door. Between each
scream the languid voice exclaimed:
Jaw, / beg pawdon."
After sixteen screams, any one OF
which would have rivaled a locomotives $,
she succeeded in opening the door, and
fell fainting in the arms Of her fright
ened papa. So soon as pdter fdmttids
could relieve himself of his nude daugh-
ter, he stuck his paternal head into the
bathroom, and wanted to know what in
the hi was the matter. All he could
get in reply was:
Aw, beg pawdon.

Suggestive Hints 10 the Thirsty.
From Good Health.l
The first, the best, because the safest,
for laborers, invalids, the sedentary, for
all classes, at all times of the day and
night, is half glass at time, repeated
in ten minutes if desired, of common
cold water, at the temperature of the
spring, or well, or reservoir, or cistern.
Ice water is more palatable, but often
kills
ANY drink which contains alcohol,
even cider, root beer or domestic cordials,
all are not only not harmless, but are
positively injurious, because the atom of
alcohol, by using the strength Of the next
minute for the present, leaves the system
that next minute Just that much weaker
than it would have been had not that
atom of alcohol been taken; this is
the case, because that atom Of aloo-
hol has not one particle of nutri-
ment, hence it cannot supply the system
with one atom of strength.
If anything is added to the summer
drink, it should contain some nutriment,
so as to strengthen the body as well as
to dilute the blood for purposes Of a
more easy flow through the system, as
any one knows that the thinner fluid
is the more easily does it flow. Some of
the more nutritious and safe drinks are
given below, especially for those who
work in the sun Of summer, all to be
taken at the natural temperature Of the
shadiest spot in the locality. To any OF
them ice may be added, but it is luxu-
rious,. not a beneficial ingredient, nor a
safe one
l. Buttermilk.
2. A pint of molasses to a gallon OF
water.
3. A lemon to a half gallon OF
water and a teacupful of molasses, or as
much sugar.
4. Vinegar, sugar and water are sub
stitutes, but the vinegar is not natural
acid, contains free alcohol, hence is not
as safe or healthfnl.
8. A thin Cruel made Of corn or oats,
drank warm, is strengthening.
6. A pint Of grapes, currants, or gar
den berries to half gallon of water is
agreeable.
Cold water applied TO the head is very
refreshing TO harvesters. Wading in
water abates thirst. Persons cast away
at sea will suffer less from thirst if the
clothing is kept wringing wet with salt
water. A piece Of silk fitted in the hat
at an equal distance from the hair and

The Boston Journal of Chemistry, in
speaking Of the Ocean Telegraph, re-
marks: Here is a man sitting in a
darkened room at Hearts Content. The
ocean cable terminates here. A fine
wire attached thereto is made TO sur
round two small cores Of soft iron. As
the electric wave, produced by few
pieces Of copper and zinc at Valentia,
passes through the wire, these cores
become magnetic enough to at
tract a light iron bar A looking-glass,
half an inch in diameter, is fixed on
bar Of iron one.tenth Of an inch square
and half an inch long. On this tiny
glass q lamp is made 10 glare, so that its
light is reflected on a tablet on the wall.
The language Of the cable is denoted by
the shifting Of this reflected light from
side 70 side. Letter by letter is thus ex-
pressed in this fitting idiom in utter
silence on the wall. There Is no record
made By the machinery, except as the
patient watcher calls out 10 a comrade
he translated flashes as they come, and
which he records. Il seems miracle Of
patience. Something Of awe ereeps over
as ms we see the evidence of human
touch three thousand miles away sway
ing that line Of light.
