Dir. Stanley Jcyons Professor oi Political

Kicking,

In Lancashire, England, kicking is the favorite mode of tig ghting among the colliers and laborers. A number of cases of assault by this barbarous meth cd came before the magistrates at Bol- ton, lately. One man, laborer, was sent to jail for two months with hard labor, for kicking a police officer whom he had thrown to the ground. A col Her, whose clogs were shod with iron, was sent to prison for one month for kicking another collier on the head. Two powerful looking fellows were also sent to prison for three months with hard labor for knocking down and bru- tally kicking a young woman, one of the men melting the other to kill her.
 All remedial evils are made 8 great deal worse by turning your back upon them.

A Frightened Beast.

A trumpeter of regiment stationed at the Cape of Good Hope drank so much one night that he could not stand up, and in this situation his mpanions carried him out in the open air and laid him down to get cool and sober. He soon fell asleep, and wild beast hap pening along and thinking him dead, lifted him up and carried him off, ex- pectlng to have a good meal of him. The fellow on awaking was horror struck to find himself in the power of fero- cious beast, who was making off to the mountains with him as fast as possible. But his fear brought him to his senses, and seizing his trumpet, which hung about his neck, he sounded a terrible blast, at which the beast, thinking he had dead man to deal with, became as much frightened as the man was with his situation. The prey was dropped, and capter and captive, equally alarm ed, scampered in opposite directions as fast as possible.

May Day in England.

All England must celebrate the ad- vent of May in some form, says the Danbury NeaUs man in one of his let ters. In the rural districts they have flowers and music and dancing.
 In the cities they have greens, music and dancing.
 In the rural districts the brown-faced swain and the rosy checked maiden con- duct the ceremonies.
 In the cities it is done by the-whom do you suppose ?-why the saOeeps.
 Fancy an association of verdure with chimney sweeps. Jt cannot be done i; but seeing the combination relieves it of all inharmony.
 The first three days of May 8 re given up to the sweeps and their internal per formance. The parties consist of from six to ten persons, one-third of whom are women. One of the number makes himself generally hideous by operating on series of reed pipes with his mouth, while each hand is actively engaged on bass-drum. The orchestra is further embellished by one or two woman with tambourines, the legitimate uses of which instrument they are conspicuous ly ignorant of.
 Prominent in the group is frame of green twigs something in the shape of 8 sentry box with dome roof, under which one of the performers remains and keeps it in motion to the time of the pandemonium going on outside. The performers are dressed in tights which are slashed with various colors in all conceivable directions. Their faces are painted dead black, or streaked with red or yellow, or both, as the fancy of the wearer may prompt. And one thus embellished would scare 8 hack man.
 From the top of the tight fitting head gear curves fine steel wire with lit- tie wooden ball at the end, which the motion of the body raps against the forehead, making 8 most sepulchral sound.
 During operations on the reeds, drum and tambourines, the actors dance up and down, or plunge precipitately into the crowd of scared and admiring citi- zens, begging for money with a cut throat persuasiveness that IS irresistible to the stranger.
 Selecting we'll dressed passing gen. tleman one of the number runs ahead of him, turning ridiculous hand springs, and extending his palm at every recov- cry. If the gentleman is obdurate, the hand-springs are multiplied, until, mor- tifed beyond endurance, he produces the desired coin and fees to his home, a miserable wreck of his former self.
 No wonder the London papers are oautioning their readers to beware o1 mad dogs. l don't blame the dogs.

Magic in Butter.

An ingenious gentlemen is now ap- plying in Washington for patent upon 8 churn of astonishing efficiency. It seems to be composed of several cylin- ders, one within the other, the outer one of some metal and the inner one to receive the milk. By some secret pro- cess, supposed to be electrically or gal vanically chemical, this surprising ma- chine converts a pint of milk into a pound of butter in less than minute, and is said to be capable of making as high as seven pounds and three-quar: ters from one-gallon of pure milk at tho same lightning speed. Said butter is alleged by skeptics to be "a granula- tion of the nutritious particles of milk, only resembling the butter of the old process;'' but as it cannot be distin- guished in taste from the choicest country article, and need not cost more than about five cents pound to make, there should be a pretty sure market for 1t,

Another HerOlc Engineer.

A telegram from Council Bluffs, Iowa, says that as an extra stock train on the Red Oak Branch of the Burlington and Missouri Railway was nearing Farragut, Jack Evans, the engineer. discovered a small child on the track, about sixty yards distant. The engine was reversed and the brakes applied, but the engi- neer knew that the train could not be stopped in time to save the child. Evans ran out upon the COW. catcher, and when the train had reached within about ten feet of the child he made a flying leap, caught the child in his arms, and both rolled into the ditch in time to escape the train, which was running at fifteen miles an hour. The child, one year old, was uninjured. The engineer sprained his ankle, and was considerably bruised, but not seriously injured.

Sw1ND11Na.-Some farmers in Yer mont who do not read the papers, are spending 8 number of dollars each in fighting an old and eften-exposed form of swindle. Two or three years ago a man named Newcomb went through Verment appointing agents for a patent sickle bar for moving machines, and took their names, in order, as he said, to have their addresses. The addresses have since turned up as $2O0 negotiable notes, and the farmers are being sued by the person to whom the notes were transferred, and who appears to have bought them in good faith.

Success Based un0n Merit.

It is a subject of general remark, among both wholesale and retail druggists, that no medicine introduced to the American public has ever gained such popularity and met with so large sale in all parts of the land, in the same length of time, as Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon it's having been more largely advertised than any other medicine, as such is not the case. The correct explanation. we think is found in the fact that this medicine produces the most wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases of bronchial
 throat and lung diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever been introduced to the public, and at the same time possesses the greatest of blood purifying and strengthening properties that medical science has been able to produce, thus rendering it sovereign remedy not only in the cure of Consumption. Bronchi- tis, Hoarseness and Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver and blood as scrofulous diseases, blotches, rough skin, pimples, black specks and discolorations. It has therefore & wide range of application and usefulness, and 1t not only gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who use it, but far exceeds the expecta- tlons of the most sanguine, thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making permanent liUimg advertising mediums of all who use it. For these reasons 1t is that there is not perhaps a druggist in all the vast domain of this Con- tinent who tries to please his customers and supply their wants, that does not keep and sell large quantities of this most valuable medicine
