The t'oHiu, Cure.

Last Saturday a well known ex-Judge
entered the Park Hospital in a state
of partial intoXication. He spoke in
coherently, and laughed when warned
Of the danger Of imbibing too freely
during the hot weather. On leaving
the Hospital. Warden Brown advised
him to seek some shady retreat, else
he would be certain to return on a
stretcher. The Judge strolled over to
Delmonico's and there invested in the
s. 0. p. brandy. lie was soon after
ward found by one of the Broadway
squad. at Broadway and Reade street,
unconscious.
TO summon the ambulance from
Park Hospital was The work of a few
moments. Another case of sum
stroke z said the anxious patrolman.
The surprise of DR.. Vantlewater and
Warden Brown may be imagined when
they found their patient to be the ex-
Judge. The usual restoratives were
applied, and the case pronounced sim
pie alcoholism.
The ex-Judge slept. His breathing
indicated drunken stupor. AT length,
as the hour of midnight approached,
Warden Brown conceived tle idea Of
curing the Judge Of his olIly lnfirmity.
He sent for coffin. packed withice.
The lights were turned down and only
the pale CLEANS of the moon entered
the room. A white cloth was thrown
over the coffin, and one solitary atten-
dant watched the corpse. The ice be-
gan to melt, and the judge began to
revive. AS the influence of the ice
become more powerful the contortiOns
increased, and were soon followed by
a violent torrent of oaths. At last he
opened his eyes looked and felt about
him, and took in the situation. 'Great
God Y he exclaimed, ''they think |
am dead, and are going to bury me" "
TO cry out for help was his first i'm
pulse. He yelled like a Comanche In
dian. Warden Brown, the doctors,
the orderlies and all the patients who
could rushed to the coffin. The corpse
insisted that he was not dead, but re-
quired very careful examination and a
serious consultation before DIR. Vande-
water would express an opion. He d.
rected the Judge to leave the coffin
and get into a bed. mo sir" ex-
claimed the thoroughly frightened
man; "If 60 to sleep you'll bury me,
dead or alive. I'm going home."
And he did go home, vowing never
to drink any more. So far he has
kept his word.

GREELEY AND THE TYp0S.-In the
summer of 1854 the printers of New
York had the sublime audacity to ask
for an advance Of wages. They pre-
sented their list Of prices to the vari-
Gus employers, the majority of whom
demurred to the advance.
Horace Greeley had been first Pres
ident of the Printers Union, had adj
vocated in his paper the formation of
Unions, and in speech made to the
compositors employed on the Tribune
about the year 1929, he said that
when he found himself unable to pay
the prices demanded by the Printers
Union, he would retire from the bust
hess, convinced that he was mistaken
in his vocation. When the demand
was made for an increase of pay In
1854, Mr.. Greeley at once attacked the
Printers Union, which he had done so
much to oorganize, with the utmost vir-
ulence. The members were denounced
as drunkards, gamesters and whore
mongers, and because a drunken fel-
low Knocked the hat off the head Of Il
Union man. the printers were describe
ed as band of midnight assassins, III
q week from the time OF the adoption
Of the scale Of prices by the Printers
Union, the composit0rs employed In
the Tribune office were on a strike. and
printers were brought from Canada
and the West--in fact, the entire colln-
try north OF Mason and Dixon's line
was raked for men to take the places
of the audacious villains who had dar-
ed to ask for an advance of wages.
ASHREwD MERCHANT.-A wholesale
grocer In New York city, who became
rich IN his business, says his rule all
ways was, when he solda bill of goods
on credit, to Immediately subscribe for
the local paper of his debtor. So long
as his customer advertised literally and
vigorously, he rested, but as soon as
he began to contract his advertising
space he took the fact as an evidence
that there was trouble ahead, and he
invaIi iably went for his debt. Saidhe,
"the man who feels too poor to make
his business known, Is too poor to do
business" The withdrawing of an
advertisement is an evidence Of weak
ness that business men are not slow to
observe and act upon. - Ne,o York

convict's head fell in the lap of his child
and he .wept with strong cries. The Jailor
and the Warden said they never saw sight

his sobs were like gasps.

knows that this is a most destructive insect
among melon, cucumber and other young
vines, sometimes damaging the crop seri-
ously. Many remedies have been suggest

way but troublesome. Now we have tried
for several years another which has proved
with US q complete success. Instead Of

with food better than the young melon and
cucumber plants. We sow around each
hill at the time of each planting few
radish seed, aud coming up about the same
time, the tops supply pasture for the bug
which it much prefers TO the vines. Let
tuce will also answer, but the radish Is
rather liked the best. While our vines arc
untouched by making this little provision
for it, the young radish tops are completes
ly perforated.
Should this fail, which is seldom the
case, aud has never been with us-sprinkle

ways lay it to Mr.. Travers, just as they al
ways used to lay all the good stories in
Washington to President LonCnln. The
last one, on the sweepstake director ofErie,
they tell as follows:
Henry Clew, the wclI.kuown bald-headed
banker, who always prides himself On being
a selfmade man, during a recent talk with
Mr.. Travers, had occasion to remark that
he was the architect Of his own destiny
that he WAS a self-made man.
