DRINKING WARN BLOOD Mention
was made recently of a gentleman in q
very feeble state of health, who was
for sometime at the butchers abattoir
in Brighton for medical treatment,
simply drinking half a tnmblerf,l Of
warm blood twice q day. This course
the gentleman, Mr.. Z. H. Stickney,
who is willing that his name shall al,-
pear, has followed until week ago,
having been there ten weeks, and dur
ing that time gained ten pounds in
weight, and, to use his own words:
J" My appetite Is good; sleep we'll and
feel like new man, and am soon to
commence business again in Boston" !"
He also says that there are ten or
twelve others there, drinking the blood,
all Of whom are gaining under this
treatment. One gentleman from BOs-
ton, c0nsumptive, 80 feeble that it
was with difficulty he could get to this
abattoir, is now able to handle an Ak
skillfally enough to tskn0ck down .
bullock" A lady from thOcityy who
has been six years stricken with par
alysis,s ,s.is ilApeoving wonderfully by
.sthis blood cure" A gratifying feat
ure OF this cure is that it is ~withOut
money and without price," and Mr..
Stickney speaks in praise Of the gen
tlemell in charge Of this establishment,
and says strangers visiting the place
will find courteous treatment.-B0stos

There use to he a clerk In the Regis

those Wasl in yton families which, ever
since the foundation Of the Govern

prescriptive right, entitled to be pro-
vided for by it. At the same time his
father was chief of one the bureaus in
the War Department, and he had q
brother who was employed in the In
terror Department. He had also an
other brother who had been. in the
army, but. becoming disabled by ILL.,

For his brother, too, he was deter
mined to secure place in the civil

without success. Finally he deter

A LONDON magazine has an artice
on Joan Of Arc, raising the question
whether she or some other person was
burned at ROuen. If we are to lose
all our fine old myths, one after an
other, we may perhaps be consoled to
find that the Maid Of Orleans was not
cruelty put to death after all, but that
she settled at Metz, become the wife
Of Robert Herm0ises, and had Q family
by him. There seems to bc consider
able evidence in favor Of this sHpposi-
tiOn.

!" HUyTSMAN THE UNLCCKY.v
from the lsussi3n.

Once upon q time there lived a
hunts,,.al. He would go every day in
search Of game, but it often happened
that he killed nothing, and 81 was
obliged to return home with his bag
empty. On that account he was nick
named Huntsman the Unlucky."-
1T last he was reduced by his i'll for
tune to such extlpmitics, that he had
not piece of bread nor Il SINCE cOl,cck
left. The wretc',cl man wandered
about the forest, cold and hungry; he
had eaten nothing for three days, ami
was nearly dying Of starvation. lie
lay down Oh the grass, determined to
put an end to his existence; happily
better thoughts came into his mini; /;
he crossed himself and threw away
the gun. Suddenly he heard a r,.stl-
ing noise near him. 1t seemed to issue
from some thick grass close ut hand.
The hunter got up and approached the
spot. He then observed that the
grass partly hid q gloomy abyss, from
the bottom of which there rose y stone
and OH it lay small jar. AS he look
cal and listened the hunter heard .
small voice crying:
"Dcar, kind traveller, release met"
The voice seemed to proceed from
the little jar. The courageous hunter,
walked carefully from ono stone to an
other, approached the SPOT where the
jar lay, took it up gently, aud heard q
voice crying from within like the chirp.

Release me, and will be Of SER

"Who are You, my little fiiendi"
asked Huntsman the Uulucky.
I" have no name, and cannot be
seen by human eyes" answered q soft
voice. "If you want me, call 'Murza"
A wicked magician put me in this Jar,
sealed it with the seal Of King Solo
mon, and then threw me into this fear
full place, where have lain for seventy
years."
"very good," said Huntsman the
Unlucky; ~ will give you your lib
erty, and then We shall see how you
will keep your word"
He broke the seal and opened the
little jar-there was nothing in it!
Halo! where are you, my fiiclldm p
cried the hunter.
"By your side" Q voice answered.
The hunter looked about him, bu.

As soon - the hunter had uttered
these words there appeared before him
Q table covered With dishes, each filed
With the most delicious ssiands, as il
they had come direct from banquet

the table, and ate and drank till BE

In case arising under an act of
Congress, with reference to the prop
erty rights of married women i'll
the of District of Columbia, the
Supreme Court, speaking through Mr..
Justice Bradley, held that defendant
and the husband of the plaintiff exc
cuted their note and gave it to her as
q consideration for joining them in a
deed Of certain premises releasing her
dover, the release of the wife's con-
tingent interest was sufficient con
siderati0n for the note, and that the
wife could maintain an action upon it
against the defendantin her own name.
This il blow at the absurd common
law doctrine of the "femme c0verts."
1t will not be long before the notion
that the wife has no separate prOprie
tary rights will be entirely abandoned
as . relic of cruel barbarism.

MODERN EVE AND HER APPLE
A professors wife, who occupied her
self sometimes in assisting her hus-
band in making casts Of interesting
objects of geology and natural history,
also for her own pleasure sometimes
made flowers and fruit of wax and
other materials; but Notwithstanding
that she had become quite an expert
in this line, she found that most al
ways her efforts were criticised by her
friends. Once she passed large ap-
pie around, and stated her confidence
that this time she had been quite sue
cessfal in her imitation of Natures
product; but her friends were, as usual,
not of her opinion. One criticised the
shape, saying it would he more natural
if it were not SO globular; another
criticised the colors, and said they
were better than other limitations, but
she had not quite hit that natural, in
descrilable pecaliarity which distin-
guislldg the natural apples from the
limitations; almost every one had some
fault to find. After the apple had been
passed around and had come into her
hands again, she ate it without saying
anything. Her friends had been criti-
cisin. real apple.

A COURT SCENE IN THE EARLY
DAYS OF MISSOURI.

his official and social excellencies. He
was universally known as "HOrse Al
len," to which title in lister years the
prefix of "Old" was added. He was
q sound lawyer and an incorruptible
judge, and in these primeval days i'm
posed personal regard by the posses
sioM OF set or Drawny limbs that men
said had been called on more than one
occasion into active exercise to teach
the refractory "how to respect the
court" He regarded the bar-com-
posed generally of young men whom
he called by their Christian names
almost in the light of his children, and
they in turn soon learned to love him
as a father. They tell this story on
the old Judge:
On one occasion, while lie was hold
iltg court in a log cabin in one of the
then wild counties of the Southwest,
two of his boys became so excited over
a case, that, 1lter each had in unmis-
taxable language questioned the ver-
acity of the other, an inkstand had
been hurled, and the compliment re-
turned by a forciblc propulsion of the
Missouri Statutes by the mad.dencll
disputants at each others heads. The
whole thing occurred SO quickly that
the judge had not time to prevent it,
but he proved himself equal to the Oc-
casiOn.
"Cyrus," he remarked to the sheriff,
" adjourn court for fifteen MinuteS.n .
1t was done by Mr.. Frost, the sheriff.
"NOw shut that door, and lock it.n
- AS soon as these orders had been
executed, turning to one of the COM
batants, then States Attorney, and
row All eminent citizen and lawyer in
California, he said:
"Peter, come out and stand behind
that bench!" The representative of
the State quietly too!< position.
"TOn.," he confined, to young HOr-
rell (of whose future your historian
has lost sight "do You stand thcre!"
and the attitude was taken as ordered.
"Now, boys" said the "Oll Horse, !"
In gentle tones, s9you have been guilty
of . very gross disrcspect of this court,
stand it, and will take proper steps to
vindicate itself. l have always held
myself as good a judge of fight as
of the law. In this matter of outrage
the court will sit and see it out, ard
you both shall have fair play. Now
pitch in and fight it out"
Nothing 10th, tho boys went at it
fist and skull, for they knew very we'll
that if they did snot settle it in this
way the "O!d Horse" would probably
quit his seat and thrash them b0th-a
feat very easy Of accomplishment for
him. And SO they fought, and the
judge looked on to see fair play. His
tory does not record which OF the two
was the victor, but after protractetl
and exhausting efforts, and, alas!
much profanity, of which the court
took no official cognixance, the judge,
turning to the sheriff, said:
"Cyrus, separate them, unlock the
door, and open the court"
And when the court was opened, he
turned to the court and said:
"Alr. Clerk, enter q fine of twenty
dollars each against Mr.. Minor and
Mr.. Horrell for fragrant contempt of
this court"
Before the adjournment the fines
were RENTED, and the boys were ever
the best of friends.-Har-
