aud, extending his palm, said to the
dreamland bidder, Well, we'll, let's have
the ffty! A variation of this class is
the story Of the two fools. one of whom
dreamed that he had trodden on a nail,

and learned the reason, delivered him

THE doctors aud their patients are
not forgotten in the old jests. There is
the case OF one who, having had his
uvula operated upon, was hidden not to
talk. Accordingly, he desired his slave
to return for him the salutations OF those
who bade him good.morrow; but, when
this was done, kept saying to each in
the fullness Of his courtesy: Don't take
it as an affront If my slave salutes you
in my stead; my medical man has bid
den me not to talk. Another fool be-
ing sick agreed with the doctor that he
would pay him fee if cured. So, when
his wife blamed him for drinking wine
when in a high state Of fever, he re-
torted, What do you want me to get
well, then, and have to pay the doctor
his fee2
"a man is told Of, who seeing physi-
clan coming, slipped out of sight. A
friend observing this, asked the reason.
WELL said the other It's some time
since I've been sick, and really I'm

story is: "A doctor gave up Cumen

as follows; why, you said | was dying,

Among the old stories which are
very old, and still current in some shape,
are those Of the order to stuff pitcher,

river in hurry, preferred to ride into
the ferryboat and not alight; that of the

him who when called to task for usurping

would have believed his slaves; that of
the host whose guests enjoyed eollared

would dine with him next day, upon
which he went to his butcher and ordered

student was the chief instrument in
clearly setting forth and establishing
was the doctrine, wrought out by careful,
cautious inquiry in all parts of the world,
that the frame Of this earth was gradual
ly brought into its present condition,
not by sudden and violent conyulsions,
but by the slow and silent action Of the
same causes which we see now, but
operating through long succession Of
ages beyond the memory and imagina-
tion of man. There need be no question
whether this doctrine agrees or not with
the letter of the Bible. we do not ex-
pect it should. Fer, had there been
no such scientific conclusions, we
now know perfectly well, from
our increased insight into the nature and
origin Of the early biblical records, that
they were not aud could not be literal,
prosaic, matter of fact descriptions Of the
beginning Of the world, of which, as of
its end, no man knoweth or can con-
ceive, except by figures or parallels. 1t
is now clear to all students of the bible
that the first and second chapters of
Genesis contain two narratives Of the
creation, side by side, differing from each
other in almost every particular Of time,
and place and order II is now known
that the vast epoehs demanded by scien-
ti6c observation are incompatible both
with the 5000 years Of the Mosaic chron-
ology and the six days of the Mosaic
creation. No one now infers from the
bible that the earth is fixed, that it can
not be moved, that the sun does literally
60 forth as bridegroom from his cham
Der, or that the stars sung with an audi
BILE voice in the dawn Of the creation. -

Ancient Jesta.

Blackwoods Magazine has review of
the new collection of Ancient Greek
jests of Hierocles and Philager. The
following extract will give an idea Of
them:
Another abundant class of stories
are those Of the confusion which results
from sleeping and dreaming. We read
in Hierocles that man met fool, and

STOCK Gambling in France.

There is a rage OF speculation. Since
the Spanish Mobilier started from 500
francs to rise to 1900 the capital stock,
amounting to l20,000000, the result is
that the stock operators have made 240,-
100000 in few days on these securities
alone. Therefore everybody is crazy for
his share in the golden shower. The
Bourse is invaded by an entirely new
public. The young Creves who have de-
voured their fortunes in the QUARTER
Breda want to repair them by one stroke
at the Bourse. The young.ladies of the
half-world are equally eager to try the
hazards of the game. They are not al
lowed to enter the Bourse, but they drive
in their coupes all around the building
1t is comical to see these little powdered
faces leaning out of the carriage windows
to give their orders. They call them
bsnkeresses. The curbstone brokers
now wear white cravats, and talk Of
~ our lady clients" +" This will soon end
by the ruin of these ladies. But the men
will have to pay for it.
The great fnancierS pass with mien
unaltered amid these resolutions Of the
speculators; they have hard heads which
the games of the Bourse cannot intoxi-
cate. And speaking Of this reminds me
of story which paints the portrait of
old Baron Rothschild. They were play
ing, at Marquis d Ailgres, a genuine
iinancier's game, that is TO say for very
small stakes. The Marquis was losing. he
threw louis on the table which rolled
on the floor. The Marquis d Algre
dropped on all fours to look for the
money, disturbing everybody and delay
ing the game. Baron Rothschiid was
dealing. "a louis lost, . he said; that
is worth looking for;" aud putting on an
expression Of deep anxiety, he rolled up
a thousand franc note, lighted il at the
candle and held it to assist Marquis d
Ailgre in his search. The whole charac-
ter of the old gentleman was In this ac-
ton. He was terribly avaricious of his
pennies, but he would sacrifice O thou

get the laugh on him.

bers may be worth noticing. Those who
think that barber's pole is painted red,
white and blue in respect to the national
colors, will please find themselves cor
rected. In Mr.. j. Cordy Jeaffreson's 8
Book About Doctors" we find the fol-
lowing:
Lord Thurlow, in speech delivered in
the House Of Peers, July II, 1897, oppo.
sing the surgeons incorporation bill, said
that, by statute still in force the bar
bers and surgeons were each to use
pole. The BARRIERS were to have theirs
blue and white striped, with no other ap,
pendage; but the surgeons, which was
the same in other respects, was likewise
to have gsllipot and red rag to de-
note the particular nature of their voca-
ton. The reason why the surgeons pole
was adorned with line OF blue, red and
white, winding around its length in a
regular serpentine progression, was this:
The blue represented the venoss blood,
the more brilliant color the arterial, and
the white was symbolic of the baudage
used in tying up the arm after withdraw
ing the ligature. The stick itself is a
sign that the operator possesses stout
staff for his patients to hold, accelerating
the flow Of blood by the muscular action

of great antiquity. 1t is to be found

THE people generally are beginning to
see and understand that the leaders of the
minority-the Democratic leaders, we mean
of the White League States do not object
so much TO ''Sheridan's policy in New
Orleans as they do TO his dispatch in which
he characterizes them as banditti. 1t was
against this characterization, and the state
ment so thoroughly consistent Herewith
that the ''peace and prosperity of the
Southern country demanded their punish
ment, that has aroused their ire. The
bishops, the clergymen, the merchants, and
the this, that and the other do not complain
of military interference, but they dc at
tempt to contradict Sheridan's truthful as
sertion that assassination is in the air. "
The truth is that these clergymen and their
fellow -signers Of the protests against Sheri
dan course have been deceived. They do
not occupy positions, socially, politically or
otherwise, which admit of their obtaining
any knowledge of the White League
banditti. When one Of these rascals desc
crates the sacred precincts of church, he
takes hisscat as demurely and with as much
an expression of Christianity as the most
devOut believer; but before the day is spent
he contributes ten times as much for the
support of the White League as he puts
into the contribution box

AN INTELLIGENT AGENT.

The agent Of the Associated Press in
New York appears to be rivaling his
brethren in the South in his efforts to mis-
represent Louisiana affairs. He is not sat
isfed even with a single false statement,
but delights in reiterating them. For in
stance, he treats us, under date of New
York, January ii, TO one Of the specials
from New Orleans to the New York Sun,
giving an account of a pretended agreement
by Kellogg, McEnery, Penn and others to
submit their various titles to the Offices to
which they respectively claim to have been
elected to the subcommittee Of investiga-
ton then in New Orleans for arbitration.
1t goes on further to state that the commit
tee took cognizance of their propositions,
but afterwards demanded OF the various
claimants pledges to abide by the determip-
alton of the committee as q fnali!y.
To this, we are informed, the McEneryites
agreed, but that Kellogg and Antoine re-
fused 10 enter into any such compromise.
The joke Of this whole matter lies, first, in
the fact that the regular Associated Press
agent in New Orleans telegraphed this
whole business last week second, that the
committee is now here, and denies that
there is any truth in the statement thirdly,
that if there were, said committee had no
more jurisdiction in such a case than the
Associated Press agents themselves, and its
decisions could, therefore, have had no
binding effect toward constituting the par
ties in whose favor they might be, legal
officers and lastly, the luminous intelli-
gence of the New York agent in rehashing
Sun special, made up from one of its
own kilograms of the week previous,
and sending back here as news.
We are bound to say, in this connection,
that the agent of the Associated Press at
this point seems TO be almost the only
truthful and impartial one in political mat
tiers on the whole line from New York to
New Orleans via the Atlantic coast.
While We do not wish to do injustice to
any, it is a pleasure to note the care and
impartiality which is exercised by the
Washington agent in the collection and
yerifcation of his news as contrasted with
those at other points. The organized hos
tility TO Gen. Grants administration and
the Republican party by this New York
association is now attracting the attention
of the whole country, and is the subject of
daily animadVersion by the press and by
members of both Houses of Congress. 1t
is not yet too late for it to be ''hoist by its
own petard."
