a CLEVER DOCTOR,

DIR. Cabarus who died at Paris
last year, was one of those jovial
physicians whose presence isequal-
ly sought in the sick room as in soci-
ETY., and who effect more with humor
and pleasantly than by medicine.
Being brother in.law of Hessep,
the celebrated engineer, and nearly
related to a princely family of his
land, he moved in aristocratic Cir
Giles, which deeply felt his loss.
One cure by which at the commence
ment of his career, he achieved a
great reputation, is characteristic OF
the man. The duchess of D,
one of the most aristocratic ladies OF
the Faubourg st. German, had got
possessed of the idea that she had
swallowed frog-she declared she
did-and its presence robbed her OF
peace and mind, sleep, and even of
health. The Partisan physicians
had the rudeness to deny the exist
ence of this animal, ignorant as they
were that the poor lady suffered mai
tyrdom. A fortunate chance made
her acquainted with DIR. Cabarus,
and to him she told her tale of woe.
He felt, with a seriousness worthy OF
Hippocrates himself, the pulse OF the
fair patient, inquired after various
symptoms, and when the charming
aristocrat had exhausted all her
store of arguments to prove her pet
delusion, the youthful doctor said,
after well feigned pause:
"Madame, the frog is there, but l
will remove it. " -
He then prescribed an innocent
emetic, and went to the nearest flow
er shop, where he bought a small
green frog. Armed with this con-
federate, hepresen ed himself once
more before the Duchess, and pla-
ced large basin of water in readi-
ness. The emetic began to take eff
feet, the Duchess eyes filed with
tears, and our doctor took advan-
tage of the opportunity to slip the
frog into the basin. -. sa
On seeing the frog load was re-
moved from the Duchess heart, and
for an instant all seemed well. The
next moment she turned pale, and as
DIR. Carbarus supported her tottering
frame, she cried in despairing tone:
go, doctor, l am not yet cured, for
the frog has left a little one behind. "
"Stayl" cried Carbarus, without
allowing a trace of embarrassment
to be seen in his manner; "that we
shall see.o
He then threw a searching glance
upon the frog, which he had by this
time taken in his hand, and uttered
with certainty that settled the
whole question, these words:
"Madame, this is an impossibility,
for the frog is a male"

Californian. being asked Il

A Californian, being asked if he
could "go" Greeley, replied that the
situation reminded him of an inci-
dent that occurred in the mines.
A party of miners took up claim
and elected one of their party cook !;
who was to serve in that ca
pacity until some one found
fault with his cooking. In that
event the fault-fnder has to
take his place and do the cooking
himself. George B.. was the
first to ell the position aud every
thing went on smoothly for a week
or two when George became tired
and resolved to have some one to
find fault if possible. Sc one morn
ing he mixed up his dough for break
fast. and Bill j., was the first to
break q biscuit. He tasted it,
smelled it and tasted it again, and
said: ell! I'll be id Is this amt

boring the contract, sit is good 7"
Now the Democrats are in the same
fix. Greeley is the saltiest pill they
ever got hold of, but then he 10

The Fairfield Ledger tells of a
stranger who was, twice in one night
last week, taken off the railroad track
in that place, SO determined was he
to make the first engine that came
along commit manslaughter.
The MarshaIltown Republican
says: while James King, who is in
the employ of Geo. w. Ferguson, was
driving the reaper the horses ran
away, throwing him off so that one OF
the wheels ran over his right leg
above the ankle, breaking both the
bones and turning the foot backward.
The Guthrie Journal says that
Miss Butler, aged IA years, attend
ing school on the 18th inst, was
gored by a COW belonging to a Mr..
Ferguson. One horn of the cow en-
tered the bowels above the pubic
bone, near the center, passing into
the left illium, making an orifice four
or five inches long. DR.. A. Roberts
was called and the patient is doing
well. -..-. NJ. . - ...-l. .-

Among them were broken leg, an

frightened and he W as thrown under

lance. His left arm was so badly
cut as to render amputation necessa-
ry. Grandview must be a flourish
