A DANGEROUS SAFEGUARD. There has
been a gun standing behind a cupboard
in Pine-street residence for the past
eight years. 1t belonged to the occu-
pants tatherAand was set up there in a
loaded condition It's presence was
always an eyesore to the occupants wife
who shared fully with the sex their fear
OF firearms. So the other day, Friday,
we think-she induced her husband to
take it down and fire it off He had
never fired off gun which had been
loaded eight years; in fact, he had never
fired off gun at all; so he poked it out
OF window and took aim into the gar
den, without the taintest shadow of fear
His wife being afraid OF firearms, stood
behind his back and looked over his
shoulder with her eyes shut tightly. He
shut his eys too and then he pulled the
trigger. OF what Immediately followed
neither appears to have any settled idea,
He says he can vaguely remember hear
ing noise of some kind, and has an in
distinct impression OF passing over some
thing which must have been his wife, as
she was found between him and the win
dow by the neighbors who drew him out
oil the fire place. The fact that one of
inches, and that three of her teeth were
imbedded IN his scalp, seemed to indicate e
that in stepping back from the window
he had done so abruptly; and this con-
clusion, we are glad To say, was verified
by both on being restored to conscious
ness.-Lite in E0,t5tUy.

Henry Van Meter, who recently de-
ceased in Bangor, at the age of one hun
lred and ten years, was an African gem
hat was not born to blush unseen. He
was a genuine ebony waif from Old Vir-
inv, who drifted down East more than
!, half a century ago. He was thoroughly
.harged with the inspiration OF the
Voudou, and would give odds to the
Maydaline in the number and variety OF
.apricious spirits that possessed him.
Van was summoned to court one day as a
witness, and knowing his peculiarltles,
The counsel on other side badgered him
with the most preposterous questions,
until he became so entangled that his
answers were as wild as the passes OF a
blinded pugilist. Noticing the distress
of the obiuscated witness, the kindly
Judge Hathaway hushed the lawyers, and
put a simple question to him with the
view OF bringing him back to the start
ing-point. This third assault was too
much for the over matched seer and he
broke out, Now, look a-heah, you ole
gray haired gemman up on de bench dar,
don't YOU Interfere wild dis business at
all; Is jus as much as can do to take
care OF desc two fellers down heah!'-

Maize and Tobacco.

The Indian corn looked over The fence,
And what do you think he spied?
A field of tobacco. just ready TO bloom,
And stretching in lordly pride.
To his broad leaved neighbor at once he called
In accents loud and clear,

So then with naughty air replied
The plant of power and pelf,

What do you do yourself?"

To make our farmers strong,
And furnish blood for the little ones

He ceased to speak, and in angry mood
Responded the tasseled Maize:
You're in secret league with dyspeptic Ills

With clouds of smoke you pollute the air,

From the Peoria Review.l
A Black-and-Tan Dog Tackles a Turtle

If anybody has seen a black and tan
dog, answering to the name of Judge,
going down the street in company with
a hard shell turtle that wont answer to
tackle, as the dog can tell you if you
can get him to stop long enough, please
halt the eloplng pair, as they are the
property Of the editor OF this paper.
We are strongly attached TO the dog on
account OF his vagabondish, Bohemianish
habits. He knows every dog in Peoria
10y name, and is on intimate terms with
nine-tenths of the granger dogs that come
in under the wagons, and he knows more
of the inhabitants of this city than the
tax collector does. The turtle is more
recent acquisition. 1t was placed in the
back yard yesterday, and the dog spent
an hour and half trying TO entice it to
come out of its shelf ard be sociable
The old irOn-clad maintained his reserve,
however, until the dog crammed his nose
against the forward part Slad began to
snuff. The pair seemed TO come to some
understanding at once, for the dog made
an impetuous remark on very high
tone, and they both started on trip
after Donalson's balloon When the dog
jumped over Fishers barn we thought
he had struck the easternly current and
would go right through, but we learn
since that he landed and was seen saun-
tering along like whirlwind, the turtle
staying right by him. We should be
sorry to lose the dog now, as he has ac-
quired another important and valuable
quality. He knows more about turtles
than any other dog in the country, and
it is mighty hard to find real good tur-
tie dog.

A clergyman in the north of Scotland
was riding along the road one day, and
had on cloak (Which he wore when the
elements without seemed to wage war
and dispute their claims to superiority
of rather an extraordinary make and
pattern, cape upon cape, like the out
works in a regular fortitication, so that
when the rain had got possession of one
told it had a fresh one to encounter. The
winds were trying their full power to
turn this tailor's barricade into ridicule,
and were assailing the shoulder turrets
in all directions, when an English gentle
came up, mounted on very spirited
horse, which had never been trained to
such sights, and took alarm, and almost
threw his rider "Why, man, said John
Bull, that cloak O yours would frighten
the devil" Weel. replied the minister,
that's just my trade"

A Justice of the peace in Illinois, before
whom citizen has prosecuted his daugh-
ter's lover for ejecting him from his own
parlor the Sunday evening previous, sol
emnly decided as follows: 1T pears to
me that this young teller was courtin
plaintiff gal in plaintiffs parlor, and
that plaintiff intruded, and was put out
by defendant. Courtin is public ne
cessity, and must not be interrupted:
Therefore the law of Illinois will hold
that parent has no legal right in a room
where courtin' is on foot. and so the de-
fendant is discharged, and plaintiff must
nav the costs.

following: "On the evening train from
Albany, recently, was woman bound for
Westfeld, who persisted in requesting
the affable conductor to inform her when
Chester was reached, Every llme when
the conductor passed through the car, he
was greeted with please tell me when
we get to Chester" Courteous man
though he is, his patience was finally ex-
hausted, and he politely requested the
unfortunate female to maintain silence,
as he had heard and would heed her in
junction. Chester was finally reached,
and Chester was yelled at the car door.
The train again started, and the eonduc-
tor mounted the car In which was his
