DIDN'T KISS HER.-A gentleman
who has been recently travelling in the
lower counties tells us the following
amusing story:
He was stopping over night at a
house where the partition walls were
particularly thin. The adjoining
room was occupied by mother and
her daughter. After retiring, the
mother began to rebuke the daughter
for an alleged partiality to somebody
named John, which soft impeachment
the daughter denied vigorously.
"But," said the mother, 81 saw you
kissing him at the cow-pen yesterday
morning, Amanda"
"No, ma he wasn't kissing me at
ALL"
"Why did you have your head so
close up to his for? You deceivin
critter."
"Well, you see, ma, had been eat
ing pitallas (the fruit of species OF
cacius) and you see, ma, got some
of the prickles in my lips-and-and-'
"And what you wicked, wicked
critter2V
Sand couldn't get them out my

out with his teeth, but he didn't kiss
me nary time."-SaR antonio (1'eras)

DIR, Simon, physician of Lorraine,
gives a new cure for boils, namely, by
treating them with camph0rated alco-
hol. AS soon as the eUlminatioH point
of boil makes its appearance he puts
little of the liquid into a saucer and,
dipping the ends of his little fingers
in ii, rubs the inflamcd snrfaoe, espec-
tally the central part, repeating the
operation eight or ten times for abant
half minute. He then allows the
surface to dry, placing over il slight
coating of camphorated olive oil, lie
says that four such applications will,
in almost all cases, cause boils TO dry
up and disappear; the operation TO be
performed morning, noon aud eveA-
ing. The announcements of so simple
a cure for such a painful malady will
bear repetition.

A PLAGUE has broken cut i'm Bar

A CLERGYMAN having INDUCED
himself too freely in filling up his

How to Do 1t.
One Senator Writes to An

He Wants to Suppress a Eocu-
ment

We all recolect the prominent part some
few Republican Senators played in the be-
ginning Of the McEnery Legislature - how
they were induced to leave the Kellogg
rump and cooperate with the Fusion Legis-
lature. 1t is amusing now to see some OF
the secret and inside workings Of these dis
tinguished gentemea.
The following letter, which was picked
up and handed to rs, is a rich specimen of
Republican cbicanery AMI management. 1t
is a commentary upon Keilogg's treachery
as well as an exposure of the character Of
men who surrounded rim. We omit names,
believing that the letter will sufficiently in

TIE Prince Of Wales.
UP TO HIS EYES AND EARS IN DEBT.

The prince of Wales. says the London
correspondent Of the New York Graphic,
owes debts to the amount of 100000. Some
of these debts have been running for long
time, and the creditors are somewhat impa-
tient for their money. How did it happen
that the prince got deeply into debt /! Who
can tell From his birth up to his majority
the revenue Of the duchy of Cornwall were
saved up for him. Last year his income
from this source was f62,349 1t was not
SO much before his shrewd father
tratiOn, but the sum saved must have
been large. Then there is his annual
allowance from Parliament and the annual
allowance to his wife, and while he pays no
rent for his town residence, Marlborough
House, he probably gets small income
from his tenants at his country estate, Sand
rlngham. Besides all this, his late lamrnted
father is known to have LETT very large
amount of money, although it is probable
that his mother keeps close guard over this.
No one can tell anything about it, for if the
Prince Consort left will his widow has
never sent it to BE recorded. Bat, on the
whole, one would be inclined to say that a
gentleman with an income OF at least $780,
600 Il year Onght to keep ont of debt, even
if lie had large family of small children
and entertained much company.
The Prince of Wales has not kept out of
debt. He owes as | have said, S'JO.000, and
the Government are about to ask Parliament
to pay his debts. The proposition will
cause a row, and if the Repnb leans had
any real influence they could make some
capital ont Of the affair The plea in favor
OF the proposition Will be that the debts
have been incurred in the performance o,
state duties which have been imposed II on
hn by the Qneen. The truth is, believe,
that the Prince, who is "A very shrewd
fellow III his money matters, has al
way borrowed the funds which have
been expended on thesu OCCASIONS re-
tusing to use his own money for such pur-
poses, and saying that in the eim either
Parliament or his mother must pay the
debts thus contracted. II yuiSon The
simple justice Of the case would seem to de-
mand that the Queen should pay the money.
She receives from the state very ample
revenue for the discharge of certain duties
it w"nd seem only right that if she deputies
her son to perform these duties for her, she
should pay the expenses attending them.
Many disputes are said to have taken place
between the Queen and the Prince on this
subject: bit her Majesty does not like to
spend her money any more than the Prince
does and as the creditors are growing clam
orous. Parliament is TO be asked to vote the
money. 1t is an ill-advised piece of bust
ness. but | suppose the request will not be
refu sed

Wrecked Hopes-The Law
Gives No Relief.

Yesterday those two noted individuals
Kinch Malone and Patrick Jones, were
brought before Judge Cullom on writ Of
labeas corpus.
Some months ago the two festive gent
were arrested on two charges of burglary,
and after being in prison for a length of
time were released by Judge Abel on their
own recognzance. Soon after the Superior
Criminal Court was established and the
papers in he case We're transferred to it.
The presiding .tye ordered them arrested
and confined until they furnished bonds for
their appearance. This order was carried
ont, aud the application for a writ was based
view OF the fact that the accused were al
ready on bond
Judge CullOm held that under no statute
OF the State is the acceptance of the bond
of Il man accused of crime, for his own APP
pearance, authorized, and he therefore dis
missed the application.
The police had all arrangements made to
Ke-arrest
the firm, in case the application was
granted, and police were stationed at every
point of egress from the building to snatch
them on another charge of burglary
After the decision OF Judge CullOm, Kinch
and Pat We're conducted ID the Tnri Pre-
cinct ,Station, where the charge was entered
against them of having, Oh the 18th of
April last, bnrglariOusly entered the house
of Antonio MachusO, at the corner of Cont
and Rampant streets.
They were arraigned before Judge Staes.
who placed them under bonds Of $500 each.
