The Berlin correspondent Of the Lond .
d =,ley Ners gives the following account Of a
Jealous nobleman:
A few days since | received the following
notice: The Right Hon. Lord Rads,ock,
whose labors in st. Petersburg aud eise-
where have been SO successful and so widely
known, will preach in the American Chapel
on Sunday, June IA. etc. Seats free" There
ia no doubt that his Lordship is widely known
at the Russian Capital. We received here
the NEST astounding reports about the sue
cess of his singular enterprise; how people
I 2ockcd by thousands to his sermons; how
elegant ladies offered him the use of their
salons. AMI how tie most artist ecratie fell
into a state Of fantastic and fashionable piety
not ,nlike that which prevailed year ago
in France. At FIRST believe, the ungodly
threw doubts on his identity, bat his Lord
ship Eas, of Course, able t. point to his Dame
in the Peerage. He preached yesterday
| twice; end curiosity, if that BE- 20; an igne-
BILE motive, drew We to hear him. The
American Chapel, SO called, is common to
all non episcopal Protestants of any nation
atty There is still at Berlin an English
church, at which attended also such Ameri-
cans as belong to that communion while Enc.
fish dissenters go to the American church.
The regular pastor Of the litter is an Eng
lishman. and very worthy gentleman.
Yesterday morning Lord Radstock was hon
ored by large congregation. l noticed
gentlemen from the English Embassy and
the American Legation, number of erman
families, aud, of course, plenty of ladies;
and the latter, at least, sat With exemplary
patience to the end. Lord Radstock con
ducts his service without music Opening
with prayer, he follows with what may be
called an exegctical reading from the Bible,
then another short prayer, and finally, the
discourse and the henedictian, though this
order or any order, does not seem to be
strictly observed The discourse is qui e
unique. Somebody said that Emersols es-
says were like strings of pearls, from which
a-y number of fine sentences may be deta eh-
ed without disturbing the completeness of
the rest Lord Radstoek's thoughta have
the same happy independence of one another
only for intellectual pearls be has the most
commonplace observations. His man ner in
the pulpit is unexceptionable. He is no,
rhapsodical like a fanatic, nor sophistical
like an impostor. He takes quietly like
well-bred gentleman, and he appears guilt
less OF anything more ttan uttering series
Of dull plstitules to pious and enthusiastic
ladies', / believe he is to remain some DAYS
and hold number Of meetings but if yester-
days experience may be taken, the number
of his nearer will be in inverse ratio TO the
length of his stay. AT the morning service
there was congregation Of several bundled
persons; in the evening t.ere was abo1t
fifty.

A Brutal Joke.

As one Of our citizens who recently took
unto himself better half was retiring the
other night, mean trick was played upon
him by some mischlevous persons. The
wife of the party referred to had already
retired, AMI her lord was just in the act of
crawling over to the back side of the bed,
when some party outside, who bad drawn
the hose froul the front side of the house,
let loose tue water through the open win
dow into the back Of the half beut husband
The shock was SO great that it caused him
to give sudden leap forward, and by so
doiag. be drove his head with terrific force
against the wall, nearly breaking his neck
The bed, of course, was thoroughly satura-
ted, ard the man, through the fright and
injury received By the contact with the
wall, has been unable to be out since. lie
will pay literally for the apprehension Of
the parties who perpetrated the joke

cherries he could eat for once, and he visited
the Central Market and invested in two
quarts. For about an hour he was busy at
those cherries, sitting on the floor at the end
# stall so that other boys should not dis
cover him and ask him to divide, and not a
single pit could be seen around him as he
rose up and sighed Thar" He wanted
to FL up and cherry pits are next to cher
ries to do it with. John wandered around
for a short time, AMI was then seen sitting
on the ground at the east end of the BUTCH
er's building, hi, face growing white and his
hands folded across his stomach. Some one
asked if he was sick, and he smiled !cti ,ntly
and replied: - Me sick! should say not!''

minutes. aud then sat down in iiont Of n gro
uery and almost doubled up in a knot. A
boy going by asked him if he WAS practIcing

Something was gnawing at his vitals, but he

suddenly dropped his box and fell down and

while some said it was an electric FL,
others wanted to know if sunstrGke acted that
way, and if it wasn't an attempted suicide
A policeman came up and told John that
that was about enough of that, but the boy
continued to writhe and kick, and they final

ried across to the drug store, and they threw
water in his face, poured medicine down his
throat and handled him almost recklessly

boy ought to die, for making hog of him-elf
John was finally abs to smile and sit up and

He can tell just how much it costs to raise

farm, also the cost each month ID feed the
hands. The hanis are all hired BY the

demonstrated that Ii cents per bushel iu
ordinary seasons will put corn in the crib,
and &c cents per day will board hands.

Cooley's memory is exceedingly treacher-
Gus. and it often gets 1im into trouble The
other night he was at a tea-party at Smiths,
and while the company sat around the sup
per table, Cooley suddenly concluded he
would eject a coLumirum he had heard some
where, and so, in an interval of silence, he
said:
I've got pretty good conundrum I'd
like you to guess. Can anybody tell me why
druggist who keeps his bottles downstairs
is like a certain kind OK musicianln
Everybody at once began to guess the
answer, and Cooley sat there for a moment
smiling. Presently, however, he thought lie
would get the answer ready in order to give
il. and to his intense alarm found that he
hr. forgotten it. lie began to feel warm.
lie thought the object over with all his might
and he nearly hal the answer several times,
but it always eiuded him. Then he became
warmer, ana the PRECIPITATION began to stand
out upon his forehead The company gave
it up one after another, and, MS they did so,
each one asked Cooley what the answer was
Cooley smiled a CHASTITY kind of a smil, as if
he was keeping it back to torment them, bu
the singular rednesss Of his face and his
peculiar behavior ATTRACTED tho attention Ct
everybody, and the more they looked at him
the redder he got, and the more profuse be-
came the perspiration.
Come, Mr.. Cooley" said the host, "we
are all waiting for the answer.n "Ou. with
it Cooley" said another. Cooley we can't
be happy until We have the answer to that
conundrum," remarked third. Cooley
would have given millions at that moment to
have been hidden in the bowels of the Mann
month Cave out of sight At last he e4'
claimed;
affair-that is. the conundrum--the whole
thing, your honor, is a joke. There i, no
answer to it, your honor.n
Then every body said they dlJn't see any
thing very amusing about jokes of such
character, and Smith frcwned; while Cooley
heard the men say next to his neighbor that
the man Cooley must be drunk. Then
Cooley rose suddenly from the table and
bolted out through the front door. About
two hours afterward, while he was In bed, he
all at once remembered the answer. and he
Instantly arose and went round to Smiths
After ringing the door-bell for half an hour,
old Smith put his head out of the bedroom
window.
Il know it nov" shouted Cooley; II know
i. It's because he has vial-in-celler!n

shut the window witL a slam, and went to
bed. And now the Cooleys don't speak to

Every year increases the popularity
this valuable Hair Preparation which is
due to merit alone. We can assure our
old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high
standard; and it is the only reliable and
perfected preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color, max

scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean
1t removes oil eFuptinns and daadrutf and,
by its tonic properties, prevents the hair
frcm falling out, az it stimulates and
nourishes the hair glands. BY ats use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger. In bald

their normal vigor, and will create new
growth, except in extreme old age. 1t is
the most economical HAIR DREssISG ever
