ANECDOTES OF COLERIDGE.

He was dining with some friends near
London, when broken soldier, in old tat
tered uniform, came to the window. beg
ging; on which Colerldge launched into q
history, causes, effects-everything-oi the
Peninsular War. "What pity said one
of tho party afterwards. "that that old
soldier came up to the window" "It would
have been all the same" said the other, eff
a magpie had hoped across the path" It
seldom happens that those who are famous
at monologue are equally clever at retort.
But Coleridge uttered one of the finest
things. on sudden provocation, ever said
in any language. He was addressing a
British mob, when some Of his hearers, not
liking his sentiments, Missed. He paused,
looked calmly around at them, and then,
enunciating very slowly, said: "When, on
the burning embers Of Democracy you
throw the cold water of reason, no wonder
that they hiss" It was Of course better
suited to an Athenian ssmha than to a
British mob. bussswaSS glorious outburss

ONLY THREE LEFT.

Mr.. John McIntire, of East Fallowfeld
township, (Pa.) was member of Company
H, Of the One Hundred and Thirty-third
Regiment, Sixteenth Division, Pennsylvania
Militia, which was made up in Crawford
county during the year Of 1912, with John
McDowal as captain. Colonel Samuel
equity commanded the regiment. The
company numbered sixty-three men, and
all of these, save James Mcconnell, now
living near Sharon, Mercer county, James
D. McIntire, formerly of Crawford county,
but now residing in Iowa, and brother,
John Mclntire, already mentioned, are the
only survivors. Mr.. Mcconnell is aged
ninety-nine years, James D. McIntire is in
his eighty y-third year, and John McIntire in
his eighty-frst year. Thus, of all that band
Of Crawford county patriots who went forth
to defend their country against a foreign
foe, but three remain, and they too, in the
course Of nature, will soon he laid in their
graves.

TOBACCO IN ALGERIA.

The culture Of tobacco may now be look
ed upon as one Of the principal pursuits Of
Algeria. The tobacco crops Of 1874 have
been exceedingly abundant, and the returns
are double that Of the previous year
namely, 3,53O,6O7f. Since the year ls47 it
has been calculated that the cultivation Of
tobacco has realized 54,00O,OOOf. The
Government is doing its best to encourage
this source of industry, and the planters
are zealously striving to improve their
fields, and methods Of cultivation, SO as to
compete on larger scale with other coun-
tries. Public attention is also being drawn
to the ..mineral wealth Of the country.
Throughout last year several French, Eng
lish, and American companies have been
exploring various regions Of the three prov
inces with view to future enterprise; but
capital, roads, and means Of transportation
are wanted. In Constantine, mining opera
ations are actively carried on. In 1873 the
total amount Of mineral exports of Algeria
reached 42o,662 tons, .two-thirds Of which
were supplied by Constantine. Last yea,
this quantity was exceeded; 1t is expected
that the returns will be 100000 tons. The
colony demands Of the Government an ex-
tended survey of the mining districts, with
view to promote branch of industry 30
important alike to Algeria and France. at
present the mum ber Of miners is only $500,
the greater part Of these being employed
in Constantine alone.

A HEARTLESS JOKE.

The Fort Wayne Sentinel, speaking of the
foolishness of smallpox scare, illustrates
the effect Of the imagination by the follow
ing:
You have of course heard of persons hav-
ing their imaginations SO wrought upon as
to cause their death from some supposed
disease or illness. Now, no one les, far as
heard from, been frightened to that extent
on account of the smallpox scare,
but a case in point happened here
twenty-five years ago, that will serve to
point moral if not adorn a tale. The
cholera was then raging pretty generally,
and numbers Of people had left Fort Wayne
fearing to be attacked by the scourge.
Three doctors were conversing about the
plague, the effect, fear and imagination had
upon people, etc., etc. One Of them (now
dead for the last ten years or more) propos-
ed test of this. He named strong, ro-
bust man, a butcher by occupation, named

Dolman, who then kept his shop on the Ca
nal directly back of Columbia street. Or
the many strong and healthy men, probably
not one could be found who was so nearly q
perfect man physically. He was also at tho
time in superb health, Of full habit and
good weight. So the trio agreed to. subject
Dolmau to theabove mentioned test. Each
Of the three disciples of EscuLpius was to
90 into the shop on pretence Of purchasing
meat, and then lead the butcher to talk on
the subject of cholera, or in some way to
impress him with the belief that he was
about to become it's victim.
The first doctor entered the shop, and,
after passing the compliments Of the day,
with the proprietor, ordered pound of
steak. It was cut, and the unsuspecting
man of meat began to weigh it.
"Why," said the doctor, chow badly you
look! What is the matter with you, Dol
mani"
"Nothing at ALL" Isaid Dolnan, "never
felt heartier or better in my life"
"But surely something ails you; you are
looking ILL.,"
"Wen," said the victim, "Tm very well;
nothing at all is the matter with me-"
After looking at Dolman minute the
doctor passed out. ,ssss..,ss. {.
Entered then the second OF the trio,
who also ordered some meat. He likewise
looked searchingly at the butcher, and then
said: -. .-..-.
"Why Dolman, what is the matter with
you? You are looking i'll. You're going
to be sick, I'm afraid"
The poor man replied that he was not
i'll, nnd felt as well as he ever did in his
life.
The doctor looked obviously at him and
went out.
The last of the three who had "put up
the lob" on Dolman came in after while.
He requested the butcher to cut him off o
nice piece Of steak. As this request was
about to be complied with, the doctor e1-
amined the meat, and remarked in an ear
nest way: "No, I want take it, that meat
has cholera in it,"
This was the last straw. The poor wretch
BEGAN to think he was in a bad way. The
doctor, as soon as he had uttered the rash
words, walked off and left Dolman to his
own reflections, which were none Of the
pleasantest.
Doln,an Immediately "shut up shop" and
went home. He fell sick and had, it is said,
as genuine case Of cholera as was ever
seen. The artifce Of the medical trio had
succeeded too well. Fortunately, the mans
spleudid constitution carried him through,
and he recovered. Had he been man Of
little strength, highly susceptible to dis
ease, and all that, the result very likely
would have been DEATH
But that was not ALL The doctor who
had proposed the trial attended Dolman
while he was sick, and presented q bill tor
his services The butcher, having no mon
ey; couldn't tpay it. TO satisfy his claim the
doctor took Dollnan's horse and cart and
sold them to pay his bill, though he himself
was the principal cause Of the poor fellows
illness.
The circumstances are doubtless ren,em-
bered by many in this city, though they
will also be new to numbers Of people now
here.
