Stories Of Peter Cartwright.
A nIsprTE WITH A DOCTOR.

A DISPUTE WITH DOCTOR.
MANY anecdotes could be told of this
eccentric and talented man, and there =
one too good to let pass. He once had a
dispute with doctor relative to religion.
The doctor said he wanted honest and
unequivocal answers to few questions.
Did you ever hsar religion ?"
"No."
Did you ever smell religion?'
Ono"
"Did you ever taste religion ?"
"No.'
Did you ever feel religion ,"
Yes
"Now, then" said the doctor, with APP
parent triumph, II have proved, beyond
doubt, by four respectable witnesses,
that religion is not seen, heard, smeIled,
or tasted, and but one solitary witness,
feeling, has testified that it is an expert.
mental fact. The weight of evidence is
overwhelming, and you must give it up. y
Cartwright asked;
Did you ever see pain ?'
ono"
odd you ever hear pain -

" Did you ever smell pain -
"Nod
odd you ever taste a pain ?"

Did you ever feel a pain -

BLAZING HIS WAY.
Cartwright, having been brought up in
q log cabin, did not like climbing stairs,
and when he took up his quarters in a
hotel he preferred rooms on lower
floor He once went to Chicago, and
booked himself at the fremont douse.
The preacher was assigned to room on
the eighth or ninth story.
Soon after being shown to his room
Cartwright rang the bell A waiter was
promptly in attendance 4 want an
AK" said Cartwright. The astonished
servant said he would procure one. Hay
ing obtained an ak, Cartwright asked the
waiter to guide him down stairs. At the
first turn in the stairs Cartwright blazed
his mark in the walnut baluster The
dumbfounded waiter asked him what he
meant. II want to know my way baclto
my room again." said Cartwright The
preacher was assigned to a room at a
more reasonable distance from mother
earth.

Stammering.

STAMNERING is due to unbalanced aC-
ton Of the muscles concerned IN articu-
laton This is why many persons who
stutter badly in speaking can sing with
out difficulty. Singing, compared with
speaking, is as walking compared to run,
ming Some persons whose muscular
systems are not equally developed, as in
the case Of many sedentary females can
walk very well, but cannot run without
staggering. The athlete can run with the
same grace and symmetry of motion that
he can walk. In singing, the motions OF
the articulating muscles are slow, dclib-
crate and measured In speaking they
are rapid, and If all do not contract in
harmony, some will be thrown into spas
modicf ton. And this Is stammering.
In some cases the tongue. and in other
cases the lips act spasmodically, produc
ing the varieties Of stammering known
as lingual and labial 1t is very easy to
understand that, if these defects
are not corrected in childhood, they
become by long habit, very invcter-
ate in adult life Yet nearly all cases are
durable by iudicious training. But
months Of patient and persevcring effort
are usually required.
I The remedial plan consists essentially
in ascertaining what words or letters oe'
casion spasmodic action, and practicing
on them by prOnouncing very slowly and
distinctly, as in singing, until the habit
of spasmodic action is overcome. The
( patient must on no account, utter sound
! hurriedly, nor until the mind has, by a
deliberate exercise of will-power, got con.
troll of the muscles. A good clocutionist
may be of great service to the patient;
| but he must stud the peculiarities OF
each case, and not undertake to manage
! ali CAGES by q routine. .Sctente II NenlM.

A Printers Misfortune.

Some years ago, when the writer was re-
porter upon al Eastern paper, it devolyed
upon him to write for the same edition an ac-
count OF the presentation of gold-headed cane
to the Rev D. Nudge, the clergyman of the
place, and the description of a patent hogkilling
and sausage machine that had just been put
in opperation at the factory. Now, what
made Dr. Nudge mad was this The iucon-
siderate buccanccr who made up the forms got
the two locals mixed up in frightful man
ner aud when we went to press, something
like this was the appalling result
"Several of the Rev. DR.. Mudge's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after a brief
conversation the unsuspecting hog was seized
by the hind legs and slid along beam until
he reached the no. water tank. His faiends
explained the.object of their visits, and present.
ed him with very handsome gold-headed
butcher who grabbed him by the tail, swung
him round, cut his throat from ear to ear, and
in less than a minute the carcass was in the
water.
Thereupon he came forward and said there
were times when the feelings overpowered one,
and for that reason be would not attempt to
do more than thank those around him for the
manner in which so huge an animsl was cut
into so many fragments was simply astonish-
ing. The doctor concluded his remarks, when
the machine seized him, and in less time than
it takes to write it the hog was cut into frag-
ments and worked up into delicious sausage.
The occasion viii long be remembered by the
doctors friends as one Of the most delightful
of their lives. The best pieces can be obtained
for fifteen cents pound, and we are sure that
those who have sat so long under his ministry
will rejoice that he has been SO handsomely
treated"
Mad? Well, A6outnine o'clock that morning
the Office had been abandoned by every man.
but the advertising clerk, and he asconded to
the roof and robed himself in boiler iron so
that he could watch the venerable clergyman
tearing round down there In the street with
bis congregation, all wearing the panoply Of
war, and carrying butcher knives and things.
The next day we explained and apOligized, but
tho doctor stopped bis subscription aud began
to take the rival papers. "-Erchaage.
