Drunk for a Week.

" Tom |" and the tones of the masters voice
Came sharp to the listening ear;
Where is the woman that does this work ~

Get somebody in that's well, .-..
These women are always in trouble, think

When he gets over that last weeks spree,
And comes to his senses, send him to me.
L" It's week to-day since he's shown his face,
But he's got his oats 10 sow;
And III give him hint on the evil of drink,
And let the whole thing go.

Who wants young men to grow old too fast?"
So drunk for n week" is young mans joke,
And 8" sick for day" Is sin

And why? Oh ! that is the riddle confessed (;

A CERTAIN Cure FOR EARACHE.--
We have recently seen several recipes pub
lished as beneficial in case of earache but
one who has severe attack Of that malady
will, we think, soon 6nd the inef6ciency Of
them all. There is, however, one remedy
which the experience Of twenty years has
taught us is unfailing. We have seen it
repeatedly tried in our own family, and
have frequently recommended it to others,
always with the same satisfactory result.
No house should be without its bottle Of
aruica. It is indispensable in cases Of
cuts, burns bruises, and in an earache it is
a sovereign cure. As soou as any soreness
is felt in the ear--which feeling generally
precedes the regular " "ache"-let three OF
four drops Of tincture Of arnica be poured
in, aud then the ori6ce filed with little
cotton to exclude the air, and in short
time the uneasiness is forgotten. If the
arnica is not resorted to until there is act,
ual pain the cure may not be so speedy
but it is just as certain. Ifoue application
of the aruica does not effect cure it will
be necessary to repeat it, it may DO, sew
eral times. It is o sure preventative ol
gathering 10 the ear, which is the usua
cause of the earache. -

THE PYRAMIDs.--Colonel James, in a
recent lecture on the pyamids of Egypt,
stated that in the Kings Chamber, inside
the pyramid, some of the stones we're thirty
feet long. These stones. weighing some
ninety tons, we're not found in Egypt at
all, but were brought down the Nile, dis
tance IF five huadred miIes, and then
placed in their present position, one hun
lred feet afovc The level of the ground.
In regard to their finish. these Synete
stones are among the hardest known; and
yet they are so exquisite y polished, and
built in to form easing tor the Kings S
Chamber with such superior skill. that
the finest piece Of tissue paper could not
be put between the joints. aud this after a
lapse of over four thousand years. Such
workmanship would excite the wonder and
admiration of the world.

GOOD FOR BUTLER,

A rather amusing story is in circuIatio,
at the expense Of the eminent gentleman
from Massachusetts, commonly called " Oh
Strabismus." At the Presidents leve,
the other night, which was dcnsely crowd
ed, an old lady from the interior somew here
in faint condition, requested her hus
band to get her an ice.
Cant be did," responded "hub" i,

ments. here"
Don't believe it. Didn't we get pleu
/ ty at Belknap's the other night ~ the 81,
woman said angrily; snow 60 and get MI
an ice and some lemonade"
81 tell you now don't be fool; there
ain't no refreshments, everybody says so. >
grunted the lord and master.
You are quite mistaken sir" said thu
Hon. S. s. Cox, who happened to be near
and who mover loses an opportunity to pu
in joke. "The President always pro.
vides substantially. There is his butler
whose business is to show ladies to tn.
supper room," and the Hon. little jestel
pointed to General Butler. 7iE
You'll find him little stuck up ant
cross, but you mustn't mind that; tell hin
to get you terrapins."
This was said so gravely that the two
struggled through to where General But
ler stood talking to some ladies'.
Il say, Mister, l am told you are the
butler," said the man.
"I am General Butler" said Old Stra.
bismus pleasantly, thinking the two some
country people filed with admiration Of
his greatness. srI. .ss 8
II don't care whether you are General
Butler or not, but my wife wants some ter.
rapins and lemonade"
"Sir?" sDorted old B., in amazement
and disgust.
"Oh, don't take on any airs, old cock
Come now. hurry up them terrapins.
"You must be drunk, sir +! you must be
drunk p r sa 1i
"No he amt" screamed the wife.
"He's knight Templar, he amt drunk,
but I guess you air." zes. q.
Roars of laughter greeted this, 10 which
s. S. Cox was forced to join. General
Butler redeemed in the face, and began
putting his cheeks out in the most violent
manner. .n3 4eegHsa 8al a
Il don't understand this extraordinary
conduct. What do you want-what do
you want?" 93 -t L 2 t'
"Tarrapins, / tell you" f4 aoi-7
What do you take me for, you Gus
sed fool?" roared Benjamin. elf 3a
You call me cusscd fool and I'll hit
you on the snout," screamed the country
man.
At this juncture an officer Of the police
seized the beligerent husband and led him
away amid much laughter. Butler turn
ing suddenly, saw the mischief maker.
II say, Cox, did you do that 7"
"Well yes, I'm afraid / did"
Well, / owe the terrapins, and I'll pay
you, mind that-I'll pay you"
And the two walked lovingly away.

AMERICAN WoNDERs.-Silver Spring,
Florida, is one of the greatest curiosites
in the South. 1t bursts forth in the midst
of the most fertile country in the State.
II bubbles up in basin near one hundred
feet deep and about an acre 10 extent, and
sending from it deep stream sixty to one
hundred feet wide, and extending six to
eight miles to the Ocklawaka river. In
the spring itself fifty boats may lie at an-
chor--quite feet. The spring thus
forms natural inland port to which three
steamers now run regularly from the St.
Johns making close connections with the
ocean steamers at Pilatka. The clearness
Of the water is truly wonderful. 1t seems
even more transparent than air; you see
the bottom eighty feet below the bottom Of
your boat. the exact form of the slnalles
pebble, the outline and color of the leaf
that has sunk, and all the prismatic colors
of the rainbow are reflected. Large fish
swim in it, every scale visible, aud every
movement distinctly seen. If you 20 over
the spring in u boat you will see the fis-
sure in the rocks, from which the river
pours up like an inverted cataract.
Another wonder is, that Stone Noun

famous during the late war has not been

we can but wonder if it be boulder from

living by manual labor, owning perhaps a
house and lot, as it will only add from fifty
cents to two dollars to his whole tax
annually, while labor would increase in
price and demand. Others pretend
conscientious scruples against voting a tax
on the poor man, that, zee opiHe IS rather
thin, and will not catch votes, as they
showed no such scruples while voting
bounty tax several years since on poor
mems property while they were away in
the army at sl3 per moath.
Again, in case 1925 900 taxable capital
should be attracted and invested in this
city within a year and half our taxes
would actually be decreased by the time
the tax was levied for the payment Of in
terest on these bonds. In any event this
city can well afford to vote the bonds ask
ed, as she will then get the benefit OF rail
road connections with the outer world at
much less cost than any other city in the
West. And we feel that such heavy tax
payers as Benz. Jones,J. E. Plat, o. Tori
son, Lyman Emerson, G. s. Rand, P. John
ston, Thos Windiate. Jonah Richards, The
First National Bank, T. c. Shove, Jacob
Luers, j. D. Markham, Scheuttee & Bro,
Cooper & Jones, Guyles & Pankratz, S. A.
Wood, Richard Khngholtz, and hundreds
of others who own or con-
troll large landed, moneycd, or property in
terests in this city, should consider it their
imperative duty to vote this tax on the
city. As to whether these capitalists
would build the road in time, if the bonds
were not voted we are in no mood to con
slider after sixteen or seventeen years of
waiting, as delays have always proved
fatal with our railroad prospects.
In another column will be found the
proposition of the Railroad Co. to the city.
Also the order for :n election which was
published in the PILOT last week, but
being ordered late Wednesday night, was
too late for comment.
