no faith in that ague cure.

A Kansas youth played trick on two
young girls the other day who were re-
turning from school, and just about to
enter society, which. for real meanness,
can't be beat. Occupying a seat on the
train just back Of them, he entered into
Irritation, which was in no way dis
couraged. The train came to dark
tunnel, and when it got midway be
kissed the back Of his own hand andibly
gave it a regular buss. Each girl, Of
course, charged the other with guilt, and
the passengers thought possibly the
youth had kissed both. When they got
home, each told the joke on the other.
and for the first time two girls have the
credit Of having been kissed without hav-
ing enjoyed that pleasure.

An Absurd Mistnlse.

An absurd mistake led on one occa.
sion to the temporary confinement OF
the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland in a
mad. house. His Lordship had received
an unfavorable report of this particular
asylum, and being anxious to judge for
himself, he drove up in close car,
without having sent any intimation OF
his coming, When the porter refused
him admission, he said at last, am
the Lord Chancellor" "Oh, Lord
Chancellor, eh?" said the porter, with a
grin, as he opened the gate. " Step in;
it's all right. We have seven of you
here already. One got loose last week
with the Emperor of China, but thought
both of you were back" By this time
his lordship was within the gate, and a
batch of warders summoned by the
porter took him in charge. 1t was not
till he had sent for his secretary that he
obtained release. tetf NNe ~

mirhtx Handx mo- es.

Within one of the many rooms con-
tanned in the great museum and picture
gallery at Antwerp, Belgium, may be
seen, any day in the week, skilled
artist busily engaged painting rare pic
lures with his toes. He was born with
oat hands. A case suggestive of this is
now attracting much attention within a
square of this office. A poor little girl
OF ten years, who had the misfortune to
lose both arms, one just above and the
other just below the elbow, when only
nineteen months old, has, with two
weeks tuition, become an expert as a
sewing machine operator, performing
with rapidity and precision such parts as
winding the bobbid, threading the shut
tie and needle, putting on the hemmer or
feller--all with her little stumps, and
apparently quite happy in her triumph
over the necessity of hands and fingers.

Publication of water.

1t should be remembered that the i'm
purities that exist in water are of two
kinds-those in solution and those THAT
exist in solid form. The former consist
of various earthly salt and soluble organ
ic matters; the latter may consist Of
earthly and sandy particles, the solid de-
bris of animals and vegetable bodies,
and living on anisms from both the lat

alone that can be removed by the small

A LITTLE boy at Knoxville named

carry out the threat, but to brighten his
sister, who was eleven years old, and
show off smart. He begun by pouring a
little powder at time from theneck OF
bottle into the fire. 1t was total fall

the success about it was agood sized hole

out, the furniture shattered, the girl 8
hair singed off and one OF her hands cut
but not near ruined for life, while the
boy only lost two or three fingers, which
the doctor had to trim off smooth. A
black face, handful of glass in his
thigh and a few other little wounds,
which he may survive, are the only relics
Jimmie has of that bottle, which he
priced very highly, and would not have
sold for less than fifteen cents.

The feeling of confidence in the pub
lie mind as to the character of the incl
dent which befel Jonah, which has long
prevailed, has recently been rudely
shaken BY the investigations OF o certain
Mr.. Sands, who affirms, on what ground
we know not, that that luckless prophet
escaped in a yawl boat instead of being
engulphed within the digestive abysses
of the whale. On the other hand, certain
dubitations in respect to some of the re-
corded particulars Of the journey Of the
ark, and certain historic doubts of the
authenticity Of Noah which have invaded
weak Understandings, are finally set at
rest by the discovery of an Assyrian in
scription in the uniform character, pre-
cisely verifying the Biblical record, and
setting forth also many ad9itianal and
interesting particulars. Mr.. Smith Of
the British Museum, an accomplished
orientalst, is the translator Of the stone.
Who Mr.. Sands, the promulgator of the
yawlboat theory is, we don't know, and
don't care much Nor is there any
ground for supposing that the position
Of Jonah in this community will be in
the least changed by any Of his pre-
tended discoveries.

parties to get him outfit possible. Bard's
campaign paper at Chattanooga fell
through, and his Republican neighbors,
to get rid Of him, all signed a petition
begging General Grant TO give him EN-.
ployment of some sort, little dreaming
that they were fostering him on the
community perhaps for life. There was
an understanding that he was to ask for
nothing in the Third Congressional Dis
trict, but he got his appointment as post
master Of Chattanooga; had the rules
suspended in his favor when Brownlow
and Maynard happened to be off duty
and was confirmed unanimously. Crutch-

We mentioned the fact two OF
three days ago that Fitzpatrick, the
leader of the black mob who tried to
burn and sack the town Of 0sceola, Ar.
kansas, had passed through this city on
bis way to Little Rock to procure assis-
lance from the Radical authorities at
that place for carrying out his heinous
designs. Last evening a delegation of
prominent officials arrived in this city
on the train from Little Rock, on their
way to 0sceola TO investigate the causes
which led to the recent disturbances and
the extentto which lawlessness was car
ried with view TO reporting the same
to Governor Hadley. Fitzpatrick, it
seems, had been drilling his forces for
two or three months previous TO the out
break, and publicly boosted his ability
to call out negro army whenever it
should suit his purpose. He seems to
think the course he has pursued the only
way to prevent the county from going
Liberal, as the Conservatives predomi-
nate in the county.
