We heard q story the other day that
is good enough to print. 1t runs thus
ly: Dukely Dodge was a noted char
acter in this country a few years ago.
He was considerable of sport and
was always looking for a chance to
make can honest penny" by beating
some one at game of draw poker.
One day he picked up a fellow and
had just made arrangement for quiet
sitting, when big green-looking
countryman, who measured six feet in
his stockings, asked if they had any OBJ
lection to making the game three-hand-
ed. Dukely said, certainly not, in
fact, he was glad of the addition to
the party as it would give him more
opportunities to fix the cards. The
game had progressed but short time
when Dukely in dealing, gave the
countryman four qeens, and the other
four kings, reserving for himself four
aces. OF course the betting was live
ly. AT last the countryman had his
whole pile on the table, some $3.50,
and claimed a show for his money.
Dukely, who was one Of the most po-
lite men in the world, said certainly,
he should have it when the country
man threw down his four queens and
commenced to rake in the pile.
Hold on, said the other stranger, I
can beat that.
What have you got? said the coun-
tryman.
i have got four kings, said the stran.
ger, and he commenced raking down,
when the countryman hit him square be-
tween the eyes, knocking him about
ten feet, then turning to Dukely, at
the same time drawing back ready to
deal another of his sledge hammer
blows, he said now d--n you, what
have you got?
Nothing, nothing sir! exclaimed
Dukely, throwing his hand into the
pack, Il was only blowing! The coun-
tryman raked in the stamps.
Dukely afterward said, he thought
that if man was knocked ten feet for
having four kings that the chances
were he would 60 through the side of
the building if he called four aces.
An old bachelor recently gave utter
ance to the following jeu d'esprit: He
was introduced to a beautiful widow,
of the same name as himself The in
PRODUCTION was in this wise: "Mr.
Evans, permit me to introduce you to
Mrs. Evans" "Mrs. Evans % eXclaim-
cd the spirited bachelor, "the very la
dy l have been in search of for the
last forty years"
The wife is the sun of The social sys,
TEN. Unless she attracts there is
nothing to keep heavy bodies, like
husbands, from flying off into space.

A Louisville lady who belonged to
that species of human kind the elder
Mr.. Weller told the younger to beware
of, hearing that one Kemperdick, an
apothecary, had circulated stories to
her discredit, determined to resort to
a cowhide, and went to his shop for
that purpose. The gentleman in ques-
ton, however, rather turned the tables
upon her by taking the weapon away
and with it giving her the cut direct.
She next resorted to the tumblers and
syrup bottles, which appertained to
the soda water fountain of the estab-
lishment, while he ungallantly knock
ed her down and gave her the most
unkindest cut of all. The lady then
left the shop, and dared him to come
out into the street. He accepted the
challenge, and she began to box his
ears. The gentleman of drugs, irrita-
ted by this unkind treatment, proceed
ed to kick her in the stomach, where
at she departed.
The following we call pretty "good
doings" for country editor:
"The lady % who yesterday called
the attention Of another to our patch
ed breeehes, whereat they both laughed
so heartily, is informed that a new
pair will be purchased when her hus-
bands "little bill" is settled; it has
been due nearly year. Don't criti-
else printers dress too closely while
wearing silks purchased with money
due him. Tell your husband to send
us S23.70 at once, and save the cost Of
an entire suit"

Mr.. Samuel Bell, of w. Il. Schmertz G
Co., Wholesale Boot and Shoe Manufaclur-
ers, 81 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa, has
been q cted with chronic rheumatish for
thin ears, from his right hip to his foot,
havi to use a crutch and a cane, at times
so hnful as to utterly incapacitate him
frqH attending TO his business. Having
tried every remedy known, without effect,
except Gilliland's Pain Killer, he was
finally induced to try it. A second appliea-
ton enabled him to lay aside his crutch,
and a third effected permanent cure. Mr..
Bell is popular and well-known citizen,
is living monument of the effacacy of
that great medical discovery, Gilliland's
Pain Killer. The afflicted should ask their
grocer or druggist for it, and try its Won
derful power. Mr.. Gilliland, we under
stand, wants respectable agent in every
town and county for it. The principal Of
flee is at Y Third Avenue, Pittsburgh Pa.

SSr JOINT Discussion BETWEEN Is.
f. MARTIN, ESQ, AND Hon. A. K.
BoTELEE.-The Congressional canvass
in this District was formally opened, at
Charlestown. on Monday last. A large
number of people, from all parts of the
County, were present upon the occa-
sion, and We were pleased to see there,
also, some of the citizens of our sister
State of Maryland, amongst whom were
its distinguished Attorney General,
Hon. y. h. Syester, Maj. II. kyd
Douglas, &c, &c.
Mr.. Martin, nominee Of the Grafton
Convention, began the discussion, i'll 4
speech Of about an hours length, which
was respectfully listened to and received
with much applause by an apprecatlve
audience. Mr.. Martin manner is calm
and courteous, and ne is fluent and
adroit DICTATOR. His speech was made
up mainly Of arguments i'll favor OF the
homestead exemption and other proNl-
sions in the new Constitution all o;
which we thought were more approPrl-
ate to the State canvass which we have
lately passed through, than to that Tor
Congress which is just beginning.
Aswe took no notes Of the debate,we
will not attempt to give our readers
ever an outline of it. it was conducted
most courteously and ably on both sides
and each gentleman fully satisfied the
expectations Of his respective friends.
Sir. Boteler's reply was admirable in
both matter and manner. 1t stirred up
the hearts of the people and reminded
us forcibly of the old enthusiasm which
he never failed TO excite when, III H"fs
beijum days, he was the chosen cham
pion OF the Wings. whose banner he
bore so tcarlessly and faithfully as long
as a single shred of it was left TO tuttcr
in the breeze.
Some of his illusions to the past were
very touching, especially when he re-
terred to those good old times when
our WAYS were ways ofpleasantness and
all our paths were peace.
Then again, by some flash Of wit or
appropriate anecdote he would elicit
shouts of laughter, long and loud.
His description Of the massacre OF
the innocents' at the Grafton Conven-
ton was extremely amusing and the
scene was depicted most graphically
with no less force than fun.
Mr.. John A. Thompson followed in
short address upon his fayoritc topic
money.
Seldom have we derived so much en-
ioyment from a political discussion, and
when the next one occurs in which Mr..
Boteler takes a part, may we be there
