a LADY WITH FROGS IN HER
STOMACH.

DR.. Cabarus, who died at Paris last
year, was one Of those jovial physicians
whose presence is equally sought in the
sick-room as in society, and who effects
more with humor and pleasantly than by
medicine. Being a brother in law Of
Lesseps, the celebrated engineer, and
nearly related to princely family of his
native land, he moved in aristocratic
circles, which deeply felt his loss. One
cure, by which, Mt the commencement of
his career, he achieved great reputation,
is characteristic of the man. Tho Ouch
css of d., one of the most aristocratic
ladies of tho Faubourg st. Gormain, had
got possession of the idea that she had
swallowed frog She felt this said frog,
she declared she did, and its presence
robbed her of her peace of mind, sleep,
and even of her health The Partisan
physicians had the rudeness to deny the
existence of this animal, ignorant rs they
were that the poor woman suffered mar
tyrdom. A Fortunate chance made her
acquainted with DR.. Cabarus, and to him
she told her tale Of woe. He felt, with
seriousness worthy OF IIippocrates HIM
SELF the pulse Of the fair patient, inquired
after various symptoms, and when the
charming aristocrat had exhausted all her
store of arguments to prove her pet delu-
sion, the youthful doctor said, after we'll
feigned pause, Madame, the frog is
There, but | will remove it," lie then
prescribed an innocent cmctic, and went
To the nearest flower shop, whore ho
bought small green frog. Armed with
this confederate, he presented himself
once more before the Duchess, and placed
n large basin Of water in readiness. Tho
emetic began to take effect, the Duchess's
eyes were filed with tears, and our doctor
took advantage of the opportunity to slip
the green frog into the basin. On seeing
the frog n load was removed from tho
Duchess heart, and for an instant all
seemed well. The next moment sho
turned pale, and as DR.. Cabarus support
ed her tottcrng frame, she cried in II de-
spairing tone, "Oh, doctor, am not yet
cured, for the frog has left little ono5
behind her." "Stop," cried Cabarus,
without allowing n trace Of ombarrass-
ment to be seen in his manner, "that wo
shall soon seo." lie then threw search
ing glance upon the frog, which he had
bV this time taken in his hand and uttrr-
ed, with Il certainty that settled the whole
question, these words: Madame, that

which was paid him in advance. Sadlier
had confidential butler, who had known
him in his infancy, and to him he devel-
oped his position and his intentions. He
sent him out to neighboring apotheca-
ry's for bottle of laudanum, which he
put in his pocket. Partaking Of his sup
per rs usual, he ordered cab, and order
cd to be driven to Hampstead Road, not
far from Hampstead Heath. Here he got
out and gave out that he was going to the
Spaniards' Hotel, which he was frequent
ly in the habit of visiting. AT five O'Clock
next morning dead body was found on
the Heath. 1t was we'll dressed, and
letter was found in the deceased's pocket,
in which the cause of his committing sui
eide was stated. The butler having been
particularly instructed how to act, was
on the heath when the discovery was
made known, and announcing that it was
the dead body of his master, took charge
Of it. a formal inquest was held-the
body sworn to by the butler and the doc
tor, and the resurrectionist bribed to sill
ence, which he never broke.
When Sadlicr left his house for the
last time that evening, he called on his
mistress, gave her five thousand pounds,
and told her she would never see him
again. There We're some skcptical enough
to believe that John Sadlicr had not COM
mtted suicide, but il was the almost uni
versol belief that John Sadher-whose
frauds in issuing the forged certificates of
shares, and who had applied nearly the
whole of the capital of the Tipperary
bank to his own use, and which caused 1t
Immediately after to suspend, causing an
immense amount of misery in the county

beginning of last June, gentleman
named Lancaster Bridge, residing in
Roscrea, in the county of Tipperary, who
had been large shareholder in the bro
ken bank, took pleasure tour for the
benefit of his health. As he was seated
at the table d'hote of the hotel in Az
ranches, he saw John Sadlicr at the other
end Of the table. lie was greatly alter
ed, but there was no mistake about the
man. He discovered that Sadlier was re-
siding at small village in the suburbs
of Avranches. lie telegraphed full par

and England soon enabled the detective |

SATURDAY. AUGUST II, 1872.

GATHERING "LORLs. ."-Colonel Jack
w. - tells a good story on a sergeant
of his own regiment, the -th Texas cav.
airy, which occurred during the late un.
pleasantness. Sergeant Wiley was a
lank, gawky, but impulsive son of the
wilds Of the Lone Star State worthless
as a soldier, and still worse as a non-com-
missioned officer, he nevertheless was en-
abled to maintain his grade, owing to a
peculiar tact which he possessed Of pro-
curing forage when all others would fail.
One wet morning he appeared with a
long face before his Colonel's tent and
grumbled something against the Ser
geant-Major Of the regiment, and which
Colonel W understood to be n COM
plant, that Wiley had been put on pick
ct duty out of his turn. The story seemed
so plausible when it was placed before
the Colonel that the Sergeant-M Major was
summoned to the tent, and in n few min
utes it was agreed that an unintentional
injustice had been done to Wiley, and
and the party separated.
"Never mind, Wiley" said the Ser
geant-Major, rs they walked together,
"when your term comes again you shall
be exempted from duty"
"That's well enough" grumbled Will
ley, but it may'nt be a wet night"
"That does matter, Wiley" again
said the Sergeant-Major when the
war is over, this little trial will be count
ed rs another laurel for YOU"
Wiley left his superior, and for half
an hour after was noticed wandering
about alone, muttering something unin-
tellgiblc. At last Wiley made straight
for the Colonel's tent, and, without pre-
liminary, apostrophized him in twangy
voice Kernel" he said, "What's a
loril ?"
"a what" asked Colonel W.
"a loril ?" again asked Wiley, in a
louder tone.
"A what ~
"What's lori ?" this time fairly
shrieked Wiley.
Colonel W was now nearly out of
patience, being as little informed as be-
fore on the loril subject.
Wiley" said the Colonel, "if you
will only tell me who uttered that word in
your presence, and under what circum-
stances it was uttered-if you tell me
something that occurred before or after it
was uttered, | may be able to enlighten
YOU" Wiley then explained how it
was that the Sergeant Major had spoken
of his laurels. "Oh," said Colonel W,
81 understand. Well, you see, Wiley,
when the ancient Romans returned tri-
umphant from their wars their brows
were crowned with leaves of laurel, which
are Synonymous Of glory" Willy slow
ly crept away, apparently understanding
the situation less than ever.
In due course of time, one dark, cold,
rainy night, while Wiley was snoring
vigorously, he was awakened from his
sleep and ordered to go on picket duty
with squad Of men. In n few minutes
he had hitched up his clothes, and rush
ing out Of his tent, he yelled out franticly
to his men, =" Come on, boys, we are go
ing after some of the id lorls. >

MANS INHUMANITY TO WOMAN
Mrs. Shaw appeared before the Recorder

abuse. "What have you to complain

Of that spteful lady, thrown out with a
sort OF jerk. "Indeed How is that?"
" He leaves me at home, and when
complain Of it, insults and abuses me-"
" Can you give an instance Of it ?"
" Yes he went to the cock-fght on Sun

JOHN SCHEMMERHoRN, of Alton, H.,
thought one Of his COWS was afflicted
with the hollow horn last week. To sat
isfy himself he caught the beast and held
her by the tail while his wife raped on
the horn with tack hammer. A mo-

as Schemmerhorn scared over ten-foot
board fence, and his wife has an aperture
in her Dolly Vardin that weeks con-
slant labor with a sewing machine will

THE OTHER SIDE.-The labor strikers
in England see results not anticipated by
them. Having first struck to obtain
higher wages, they now strike for lower
prices for food, clothing and housing.
Every article entering into the daily con-
sumption of a family has grown dearer
within few months. Coal is much dear
er. The workmen of England receive,
on the average, fifteen per cent. more than
before they struck, but pay twenty per

THE old rope ladder arrangement for
the use Of elopers seems like very prim-

SO a youth in Virginia lately attempted
TO use a rope and pulley to let his lady
love down from her chamber window.
No doubt this might have worked admir-
ably had not the enraged parent suddenly
appeared on the scene, and hooking the
apparatus into the young mans waist
band, hoisted him into the air, whore he
left him dangling till morning. This
was a serious drawback.
