The BIRps AND THE PEsTILENGE.-
Sometime during the epidemic we
published IN extract from an exchange
giving an account of how the birds left
the interior towns of Te1as during the
epidemic Of 1867. The purport Of the
extract was that the poisoned air drove
them off. At the time we published the
extract, Mr.. Asher, cashier of Pixies
bank, called our attention to the fact
that the large number Of martins that
usually hoVered about the portico in
front of the banking house had disap-
peared before the epidemic here broke
ont. Mf. Asher remarked to Mr.. Pike
at the time the birds migrated that
there EEa evidently something wrong,
sls the birds never left before SO early iii
the season. It was our intention to
make mention OF the fact at the time
our attention was called to lit, but owing
to the pegnliarities of getting ont q pa
per during such an epidemic, aud the
worry and g furry Z of mind, it escaped
our memory. The more we thought of
it the more re were convinced that the
instincts Of the birds warned them of
the approaching pestilenee.-lSh lShreve

ABAsHFUL HoOsIER- Which reminds
US OF arHseie anecdOte about very BASH
full man in indiana. The unfOrtunate's
friends knew that he wanted to be mar
ried; they knew that he deserved to be {;
but they were quite as certain that he
never would be, If he waited until he
found courage to pop the question; so
they took all the trouble off his hands,
and by a series of rapid strategic moves
had him popped" accepted, and wiyed
before he could find pretext for "wilt-
ing" So much accomplished, and the
nuptial evening having passed off mer-
rily, the young mans back -boners with
drew at an early hour, feeling that they
could spare themselves further effort in
their friends behalf. About FIVE min
utes after, young Benedict, who had ev-
identity been having o serious debate
with nervous good night" made his
exit, He was not seen again by the
bride or her family until the following
evening, when he timidly knocked at the
door and was admitted. No special
comment being made upon his singular
conduct, he passed an hour rather COM
fortably i'm the parlor, and everything
seemed to promise fayOrably for q cure
Of the besetting weakness, when, hear
ing the household monitor proclaim the
hour of nine, he suddenly seemed to re-
member that he had forgotten some
thing, and started for his hat. This was
the moment and the event that had been
somewhat expectantly awaited, with
indignation most profound but under
control, by the brides mother. Plant
ing herself ras0luteIy in the doorway,
the old lady demanded to know why and
wherefore, what he proposed to do, and
whether he was man OF only feeble
imitation, ETC.; in short, why he did not
remain with his wife instead of sinking
back to his old quarters2 The bashful
sOn-in-laW stammered out, as the elder
ly female seized his hat and backed him
into chair again. well, | should like
to, but | Thought maybe I'D better wait

STATIsTICsOF OF INEBRIETY, start
ling statesments have been made by DIR.
Mckinley, of Chicago, SAYS the Balti-
more Episcopal Methodist, in pamph-
let entitled Statistics of Inebriation in
the United States.n The epamphlet con-
tains two chapters filed with figures,
one chapter being report to the Board
OF Health OF Chicago, and the other an
address to the executive and legislative
authorities of the United States; and,
on the whole, we do not remember any
other document of only nineteen printed
pages which makes so many serious
charges or adduces such an array OF
tables and deductions as this. Original
ly intended to apply to Chicago, the sta
tlstlcs have been amplified so as to en-
brace the whole Union, and the results.
considered from DIR. McKinley's stand
point, are simply appalling. For ex-
ample, he gravely announces that out of
every eleven Congressman one is a per-
petuaI drlnker, one an occasional drink
or, FIVE drinks periodically, and only
four are sober at all times; or, taking
the whole number of $50 members Of
Congress, only 100 are sober men, so are
confirmed inebriates, and $50 are perins,

women. Out OF every 100000 women in

every 1O,O00, 900 there are n, ,499. In an
urban population of 100000, ON the
aggregate basis of calculation, there are

Tor the whole country are as follows.

JESS So!-The moral regimen of many
people, says Boston paper, is just the
counterpart of the system of dietetics,
which begins with eating unwisely of
picked CLAIMS, then taking little bran
dy to settle the CLAIMS, then little Tar
tarean coffee to quiet the brandy, next
some kind of ice to silence the coffee,
and then cordial for fear of a chill.
The point is to avoid the clans.

A LEssONFOR SMOKERs.-Plain speak
ing was formerly considered q duty by
the Quakers. 1t is pity they do not
practice it Oftener on smokers, taking
the following as specimen:
Recently O Quaker was travelling in a
railway carriage. After a time observ-
ing certain movements on the part of q
tellow-passenger, he accosted him as fol-
lows:
Z" Sir, thee seems well dressed, and |
dare say thee considers thyself well-bred,
and would not demean thyself to do an
ungentlemanlike action, wouldst thee 7"
The person addressed promptly re-
piled, with considerable spirit
Certainly not, if knew. it."
The Quaker continued.
And suppose thee invited me to thy
house, thee would not think of Offering
me thy glass to drink out of after thee
had drank out of it thyself, wouldst
thee ?"
The interrogated replied
"Abominable! No! Such an offer
would be most insulting"
The Quaker continued:
Still less would thee think of Offering
me thy knife and fork to eat with, after
putting them into thy mouth, wouldst
thee 2"
The interrogated answered.
"To do that would be an outrage on all
decency, and would show that such a
wretch was out of the pale of civilized
society"
"Then," said the Quaker, with those
impressions on thee, why shouldst thee
wish me to take into my mouth and nos

thou art preparing to smoke, after send
ing the smoke outof thine own mouth ~
