went so far as to figure up how
many rabbits were brought into
Paris each year, and how many were
consumed, and they made out that
twice as many were consumed as were
brought in. He felt for time as if the
business was ruined, for thereafter the
rabbit purchasers demanded the head Of
the rabbit as a guarantee of the genuine
ness of the animal. But he was equal
to the emergency. He gave an extern
sion to his commerce by making an ar
rangement with all the cooks on his rag
beat to buy their rabbit skins on condi-
ton that their heads should be delivered
with them. Thereafter he was enabled
to furnish to skeptical buyers the rabbit
head with the dressed cat, and every
body was satisfied. He sold the animals
to the small out-of-the-way restaurants
as rule, where they were made into
gibelottes The cat entire yielded him
one franc, and they to whom he sold the
flesh usually got about two and one'halt
francs out Of the animal when turned
into gibelotes. The business was fair,
but there was more competition, especi'
ally since the commune, under which
some people had learned to eat the cat
with pleasure, knowing him to be cat. =

A writer in the New York Mail, who
has been close observer of dog-wor-
shippers, says: 1t is taken for granted
that anybody capable of such affection
is brimful of all kindly sympathies, yet
one of the most miserlE selfish and un-
sympathetic persons ever knew was an
old lady whose whole heart, what there
was of it, went out to a miserable, blind,
toothless, staggering mite of canine
senility After good deal OF thought
and observation, and making due allow
ance for that natural propensity to care
for and protect something to have
pets--which is an essential part of some
minds, / am inclined to the opinion that
a large share of the fondness bestowed
on animals, particularly on dogs, is a
kind of reflected self-love, and is most
often found among persons more noted
for absorption than for giving out.

Gone Down into the Grave for
Evidence.

A correspondent Of the Southside
Sentinel, Virginia, gives an account of
the search for the remains of William
Jennings, who is said to have been
buried about hundred years ago near
Jennings Ordinary, in Nottoway
county. The object of the search is to
establish claim to the great Jennings
fortune in England This William Jen-
nings was an officer of his Majesty
army, and is said to have been buried in
his regimental suit. 1t is thought that
perhaps his sword also was buried with
him. Could these be recovered valua-
BILE clue would be added to the evidence
already obtained. On Monday morning
there were. gathered at the old burying
ground, which is now thickly surrounded
by pines and grown over with cedars and
enormous grapevines, number of peo-
pie to witness the excavations. Many
graves were opened without finding the
desired one, The search was continued
the next day, after the correspondent
had left.

Is Pork IntoxicatIngr

Says the Kingston Freeman: A Con-
necticut friend of ours propounds q new
theory Of intemperance. Pork-he says
it's pork that does it. People eat much
pork, and so are made as dry as a stage
road in August. Unable to stand the
burning thirst created by pork, they fly
to the flowing bowl. We reckon he's
right. We hate hog, dead or alive,
and If he can be convicted of promoting
drunkenness, we move he be suffocated
in his cradle, or squelched in his sty.
Noah got drunk and he had Ham always
in the family, and we shouldn't wonder
if all editions of Bacon, bound with bris-
ties. are the worst possible teachers OF
morality.

A Dealer In "Rabbits. $

A writer on Paris ragpickers: "a

Twenty years ago he skinned aud dress

SPECIAL NOTICE.

ScHENcK's s SEA WEED ToNIo.--In the atmos-
phere experienced here during the summer
months, the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the effects Of
debilitating diseases. In order to keep a ma
tural hea.thful activity of the system, We
must resort to artificial means. For this pur-
pose Shenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effec-
tuaI A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor TO the enervated body. For
dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ
ent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; in fact II assists the regular
operations Of nature, and supplies her def
ciences. The tonic in its nature SO much re-
sembles the gastric juice that it is almost iden-
tical with that fluid. The gastric juice Is the
natural solvent which, in a healthy condition
of the body, causes the food TO be. digested;
and when this juics is not excreted in sufh-
cient quantities, indigestion, with all its dis,
tressing symptoms. follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice
when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic sold by all druggists.

The way the ocean CasIe Talks.

An operator sits at a table in room
darkened by curtains. On his desk
stands little instrument named the re-
hecting galvanometer, the invention of
Sir William Thompson, without which
Atlantic telegraphy would be a slow pro
cess, not exceeding two or three words a
minute, instead of eighteen or twenty,
the present rate. This delicate instru-
ment consists of tiny magnet and a
small mirror swinging on a silk thread,
the two together weighing but few
grains. The electric current passing
along the wire from Valencia reflects
spot of light ON to scale, in box placed
at the operator right hand, where, by its
oscillation, the spot OF light indicates
the slight movement of the magnet,
follows every change in the receiving
current and every charge great or
small, produces a corresponding oscllla-
ton of the spot of light on the scale. A
code of signals is so arranged by Thich
the movement of the spot of light is
made to indicate the letters of the pha-
bet. When receiving a message from
Valencia, the operator watches the move
ments of the light speck, which keeps
dancing about over the scale on his
right. To his practiced eye, each move
ment of the spot of light represents a
letter of the alphabet, and its fantastic
motions are spelling out the intelligence
which the pulsing of the electric cur
rents are transmitting between the two
hemispheres. 1t is truly marvellous to
note how rapidly the experienced opera
tor disentangles the irregular oscillations
of the little specks into the letters and
words which they represent.

Fire as a purifier has not effected
much good for Chicago. The Tribune
says: Zone of the preachers said yes
terdsy that Chicago had been purified as
by fire. He alluded, probably, to the
sweeping away of many dens of vice in
the new-burnt district. Unfortunately,
the keepers of such places have not
been purified. They are ready to start
ir business on larger scale and IN more
elegant apartments than before.

"MORRISSEY'S HE'LL"
The Gambling Establishment of The
Ex-Prize Fighter at Saratoga.

The Gambling Establishment of Ihe
Ex-Prize Fighter at Saratoga.
There is one prominent feature OF
Saratoga which no visitor there can fail
to perceive the existence of, namely, the
gambling establishment of John Morris
sey, the tolerance of which is puzzle
for which | have no solution to offer.
Its existence is so notorious that any
description Of the peculiaritles Of Sara
toga as watering place is incomplete
that ignores its existence. 1t was pub
licly announced that it would be open
for gambling on the lst of July. when
the season fairly began. During the
summer Saratoga receives large acces-
sion to its ordinary population in the
shape of shop keepers, turfmen, horse
Jockeys, and professional gamblers, who
flock hither from all quarters to minister
to the wants and speculate upon the
pleasures of visitors. In the hight of
the season Morrissey's Club House
is patronized also by rather an aristo-
cratic class. One may always then be
sure of meeting good society" at his
tables. This is an attention which the
ex-Congressman offers to those new be-
ginners who nightly flock around his
tables. After the ball one may see
mice young men, who have been dane
ing all the evening with young ladies of
our set, wend their way one by one
over to the club-house;" and by one
o'clock great part of the young men
of the ball room may be found at sup
per, at faro, at roulette, at rouge-et-noir
orlounging in some of the luxuriously
furnished rooms which John Morrissey
throws open to his guests. Faro is the
favorite game, though occasionally dur
ing the evening the roulette table may
have run which will draw the faro
players from their seats and leave the
dealer alone. Men of mark in the
country may be seen here and there
among the youthful faces which crowd
around the tables. Very little talking
is done. Every eye is watching the
cards as they are slipped from the box.
