The Odds too Great.

The story is told of man who visited
a saloon and was refused liquor because
he was drunk. He denied the accusa-
tion.
"Well, I'll bet you fifty dollars to
one that you are drunk" said the bar
keeper.
"Good enough, 1 bet you," said he,
pulling out fractional currency enough
to make up dollar. "Now, who will
you leave it to 2"
"I'll leave it to yourself. Are you not
drunk? ?"
eyes, by jingoes, I am, said he,
mounfully, take the dollar"
A friend of his happened to be in the
crowd, and upbraided him for deciding
against himself. "But it was the
truth"
"Well, supposing it was what did
you want to be fool enough to bet for,
then?"
81 couldn't help 1.-THE odds were so
great, he replied, turning away more in
sorrow than in anger.

A Cruel April Fool Joke.

Bad as the ordinary form of April
" fooling" is, it is capable of being out
done. For several weeks, the residents
along the banks of the Delaware, Sus-
quehanna, and other rivers, were kept
in a constant state of fear lest the break
ing up of the ice should result disas-
trously to them. The women and chill
dren trembled for their lives at the
least alarm. Each day that went by
without bringing the assurance that the
danger from the gorges was over, rem
dered the position of the watchers more
and more trying. Most of the women
must have been reduced to a pitiable
condition-to a condition, in short, that
none but the most brutal of human
beings would have had the conscience to
trife with. 1t is to be regretted that
Kingston, Penn, has the misfortune to
contain "a few persons who answer to
this description. On the night of the
LIST of April, just as the poor women had
gone to sleep with their little ones, they
were awakened by the ringing Of bells,
and cries of "The water is coming"
The fact has not been stated in so many
words; but it is reasonable to infer that
at the first alarm they rushed out of bed
and into the streets without waiting to
clothe themselves. 1t is stated that the
confusion was very great, and that the
terror was general. Luckily fos Kings
ton, it happened to possess one man who
had sufficient presence of mind to mea-
sure the depth of the water flowing past
the town. He soon discovered that the
people had been deceived by 1st of
April joke. We have not yet heard
that many of the women tainted and
had to be carried to their homes, or that
any of them dropped dead with fright;
but it would not surprise us in the least
if, under the circumstances, such had
been the results.

A Lobby Story,

A story is told of Sam Ward, the
noted lobby king: A measure, full of
money, had passed the United States
House and made its appearance in the
Senate toward the close of busy session.
The sufferers were collected the night
before the last day, and were full of
trouble. If some other measure could
be gotten up to occupy the time it would
save them. But no, the appropriation
bills were to be passed yet, and nothing
could be got up that would provide dis
cussion. Gentlemen" said Uncle
Sam Ward, one of the afflicted, 81 be-
heve 1 can save you y and sitting down
wrote to Charles Sumner
"MY DEAR SUMNER You will forgive
an intrusion that in others would be an
impertinence, but from lifelong friend
and admirer you will take it kindly I
know. am but now from Boston and
New York. In both places 1 have been
panied to hear uni ust criticism on your
course. You have taken no part in the
affairs of the country during the session,
and this is attributed to your growing
Indifference to the grave affairs of gov
ernment by some, and by others to your
loss of influence. A few hours remain.
1 trust they may not be lost to you, to
your country and your friends. Among
these / have the honor to subscribe my
self, ever, SAM WARD"
There was no answerto to this note other
than the appearance next morning of
Sumner, armed with pile of documents.
He took the floor and drove the anxious
Senate wild by an elaborate argument.
The appropriations got through by q
shave, but the obnoxious measure was
not voted on. A fee of $4,000 was Sam
Wards reward.

FJrreS IS Last Appearance.

A writer on the late Edwin Forrest
says: His last engagement was in Bos
ton. He had had an attack of pneu-
monia which affected one of his lungs.
Mr.. Oakes, his lifelong friend, implored
him not to go on the stage again. He
was i'll all the afternoon so hoarse that
he could scarcely speak The play was
Richelieu." All the entreaties of his
physicians and friends could not keep
him from the theater. Too feeble to
walk, he was led to his dressing room
and arrayed himself for the part. The
physician had given Mr.. Oakes a small
phial of whisky, telling him that if
Forrest showed signs Of suffering to adj
minister it to him. When Forrest heard
this, he said eff I die on the stage 1
will die, but they shan't find any rum
in me-" A chair was put behind the
scenes, and when he was called he was
led to it by Mr.. Oakes. When his cue
came he was raised to his feet. " Steady
me, he said, "steady me, and let me go
on" Tottering on the stage, the sound
of the applause of the multitude seemed
to put new life into him. and he went
through his part accurately, and so to
the end of the play. When he finished
he was led, half fainting, to his hotel,
and he never appeared upon the stage
any more. The next night the play was
"Virginius y but his physicians and
friends absolutely forbade his playing
the part. He struggled until the last
moment, resolved he would not be gov
erned by either friends Or physicians
Finally the doctor said: eff you dress
for 'Virginius tonight and go upon
the stage you will die" He listened for
a moment, burst into tears like a child,
and submitted himself to be put to bed
This was the Globe Theater, Boston, and
he never acted again.

your pardon for so doing" said Mrs.
Rangton, in her decided way. "Well,
as you've resolved to stand upon you
dignity, like all you foolish lovers-and
you're all well matchedin that respect, or
there would be more reconciliations and
fewer broken engagements-just remain
where you are till 1 return. I'll find out
the why and the wherefore of this mat
ter, and be back again in five minutes. :"
The stated time had scarcely elapsed
before jolly, resolute Mrs. Rangton
appeared.
"Why, Malcom, she's in her room
sobbing as if her heOrt were breaking.
The silly creature says that she saw a
woman kiss and embrace you at the
depot to-day. L guess she fell asleep in
the carriage and dreamed it."
Malcom's gravity changed quite sud
dedly to merriment, and it was with
difficulty that he managed to say 4:
"The woman called me George, and,
as resembled her lover, thought I was
he, but she quickly discovered her mis-
take"
Mrs. Rangton had keen appreciation
for the ludicrous, and she joined in NAL
CONS laughter
What s all this fuss about ?" said the
cabman to himself. eff I didn't know
it was Mr.. Rangton's place, I should say
it was a mad-house."
"Well, " said Mrs. Rangton, "you'd
better pay and dismiss the cabman, and
then go in and forgive Minnie for acting
so foolishly."5 j
Malcolm put his hand in his pocket,
but found that his wallet was gone; and
soon made the discovery that he was also
minus his watch and chain.
" Mrs. Rangton, I've been robbed. "
eyes, Malcom, and it was that very
loving woman who robbed you," said
Mrs. Rangton, bursting into a hearty
laugh. "Well, don't keep Minnie wait
ing any longer, but go to her, and I'll
pay G1e cdDltu
Malcom did as he was hidden, and
when Mrs. Rangton joined the lovers
they were as smiling and happy as any
two affectionate mortals could be.
That day the proper officials were no.
titled Of the robbery; detectives were
put on the track of the affectionate pick
pocket, and two or three days afterward
she was caught in the act of embracing
another man at station above Malvern.
Malcom got his watch and chain back,
but not his money; but that did not
bother him, nor would it you, reader OF
the sex masculine, if you were going to
marry pretty, loving girl, with fine
marriage portion.

Trials Of Conductors.

The other day an aged lady, in COM
pany with a little girl, entered Phila-
delphia street car, and when the conduc-
tor went to her for the fare she declined
to pay for the child.
"How old is she, madam 2" asked the
conductor.
"Six years old, sir, and never heard
of such thing as asking fare for her."
"Our rules are that all children over
four years of age shall be charged" po-
itely replied the conductor.
"Oh, rules indeed! How much you
regard the rules. Do you observe the
rules when handing in your cash2 1
will pay it, but complain to the COM
pany."
Arriving at Race street she rushed
frantically to the door, shouting:
"Mr. Conductor, stop the car and call
that lady with the hat on coming up the
street. Here, here !'' she shouted to a
young lady; "I want you-come in !"
"What do you want2 answered back
the young miss.
"Get in here I want to talk to you. "
She finally did as requested, and after
the car had been delayed about three
minutes it started off. When they reach
ed Sixteenth and Coates, she again
shouted to the conductor to stop, saying:
"I told -you to let me off at Fifteenth
street, sir, and now we are by it."
"You said Seventeenth"
"No, sir, I did not, and you know it.
Don't dare to contradict me, sir; 1 posi-
lively said Fifteenth, and you have done
this to annoy me"
Madam, am sorry, but certainly
understood you Seventeenth, and as it is
impossible to go back, you can get off
here" said the conductor, in gentle
manly way.
ooh, yes, suppose I can get off, but
the company shall hear of yonr rascally
transaction.
And so this fashionably dressed lady
left the car, vowing vengeance on the
conductor for simply doing his duty.

IN ADVANCE.
NO. L..
The First Gypsy of the Season.

1t was on Saturday, says the Reading
(Pa.) Eagle, that the first real gypsy
woman of the season put in an appear
ance. She was the color of an old cop
per cent, and her hair was black, coarse,
and very straight. She was dressed in
cherry -colored clothing, and her eyes
were black and piercing. Her people
were encamped outside of the city limits,
having arrived in this section from Ches-
ter county. She gave her name as Bar
bara Gomez, and, although she was but
thirty-five years of age, she said she was
the mother of fourteen children. She
was born near the foot of the Pyrenees
mountains, in Northern Spain, and was
married at the early age of fifteen, when
she removed to the north of England.
Five years ago they came to America.
They wintered in Alabama, and left
there about month ago for the North,
travelling by wagon and railroad. The
woman said that Pennsylvania was their
State for business for the entire season,
from April until November. Her hus-
band with his brothers and their fami-
lies travel together. The men deal in
horses while the women tell fortunes
and sell trinkets. In this way they gain
livelihood, and the woman was very
emphatic when she said it was an honest
livelihood. The gypsy woman was ask
ed her opinion of the Ross abduction
case. She gravely shook her head and
replied that she had heard of it and had
contemplated it in great sorrow. Then
she flew into passion and condemned
the people for blaming the gypsies. In
broken English she said that gypsies
generally had enough children of their
own to take care Of without stealing
those belonging to other folks. After
the woman had been paid for her time
and her opinion, she drew from the
depths of her pocket small piece of
dried root. "Take this" she said,
"and keep it about you. There will be
many trials and troubles in the land be-
fore long, both by sickness and misfor-
tune. This root of the wild flower will
do you no harm" And with great cere-
mony she handed the charm to her visi-
tor, just as if its power to protect was
actually as great as she represented it to
be. She prides herself on her great
power to tell fortunes truly, and she
said that she averages $40 and $12 day
in the pursuit of that business. She
said she was a real gypsy, and had ac-
quired her knowledge at the age of four
teen from her great-grandmother in
Spain. Finally she became sullen and
cross, and with shrug Of her shoulders
she departed without saying another
word.

Grain Trade of Boston.

The twentieth annual report of the
Boston Commercial Exchange shows
that the receipts of flour for the year
1874 were 1,57S,440 barrels, or 37,643
less than during 1873, although there
was an increase of 1888 half barrels.
Of wheat the receipts were 1,202,091
bushels, or As, 562 less than in 1873; and
the secretary reports that, while the de-
mand from local millers has increased,
the export demand has been moderate.
Of corn, the receipts were 3,8S1,S7l
bushels or 1856, ,642 more than in 1873.
OF oats the receipts were 500, 1874 bushels
less than in 1878. The receipts of rye,
rye flour, shorts and feed and corn meal
were very nearly the same as in 1873;
but of barley there were received l24, 952
bushels more than in 1873. The report
announces that new elevator is to be
erected soon at Cambridgeport, on the
Grand Junction road, with capacity OF
about $50, 900 bushels.

A SWindIer.

A stranger entered Detroit clothing
store the other day, carrying a good
sized paper parcel. He selected a
thirty y-five-dollar suit of clothes, and re-
qussted the clerk to tie it up for him.
This being done, he discovered that he
had nothing but check with which to
pay for it, SO he asked that the package
containing the clothes might be laid
aside for him until he could go around
to the bank and get the check cashed.
The obliging clerk complied, and the
stranger departed. Several days after,
as he did not return, it was thought
best to open the package, and replace
the clothes in stock, when it was dis
covered that the stranger had dexterous-
ly exchanged bundles-both being in
the same colored paper-and that the
clerk had been saving for him suit
of worn out, ragged clothing, too poor
even to give away.

One of the Results.

One of the evil effects of Fools Day
practical joking has been shown in the
report of the burning of the Overlook
Mountain House, in New York State.
During the absence Of the lessee, who
occupied it all winter with his wife and
children, fire broke out, which rapidly
spread until the hotel and furniture were
consumed. When the alarm was given
at distance of few miles, there was
no movement made to render assistance,
all who heard it being of opinion that
some "sharp' youth was trying to
"fool" them. 1t was only when the
flames shot through the roof that they
were convinced of its truth, aud then
it was too late to render assistance. 1t
was a fortunate circumstance that the
fire occurred in daylight, or the conse-
quences might have been Of shocking
nature. As it was, the hGtel-keeper S
wife and children succeeded in getting
out of the building in safety.

Spring Suits.

A fashion journal says: Imported
suits of Scotch ginghams are shown in
quaint and pretty colors of stripes half
an inch wide, alternating blue with
brown, or pink with blue, or blue with
white. They cost from $13 upward, and
are made in the neat manner for which
the best Berlin suits are proverbial. The
skirt has plated founce, showing a
certain stripe on each plait, headed by a
bias band. The deep apron has a sim
pie sash drapery behind, and is edged
with side plaitings +; the jacket-basque is
double-breasted, and has two darts in
front. 1t may be worn with or without
a white blouse-waist beneath it. Such
dresses are a boon to busy women who
have no time to make their own dresses,
and who would have to pay dress
maker the price of this suit for making
the dress. These gay stripes and checks
will be chosen for morning dresses in the
country.
Domestic gingham, similar to the
seersucker gingham that was popular
last summer, is now made in the high
colors of Madras and Scotch ginghams,
and is sold for twenty-five cents a yard.
The Oxford stripes half an inch wide are
most liked.
Very tasteful and neatly made suits of
gray undressed linens are made in three
pieces, basque, apron, and skirt, and
trimmed with flat plaitings and bias
bands very simply arranged, so that
they will be easily laundried. Those
from $8. so and upward are commended
highly they are also shown as low as
$6.50 suit.
Pretty lawn suits for inland and South
ern climates are made with basques and
apron overskirts, and sold for So.
The most effective ones have hair-lines
of black on white, and the overskirt is
trimmed by rows of bordering to repre-
sent three aprons; the back of the over
skirt is looped or puffed. The skirt has
bordered founce, and similar borders
trim the sleeves and basque. For morn
ing there are wrappers Of calico and
cambria in dainty striped patterns made
in tasteful styles, beginning as low as
So % and reaching to $40.

HipOcrasy.

Hipokrasy, Josh Billings says, IL one
of the lowest priced sins in market.
Hypokrits, without meaning it, and
without even suspekting it, pay to virtew
one ov the finest kompliments she ever
receives, for they acknowledge her
power and simplicity, when they array
their wolish forms in her lambs wool.
Hipokrasy IL not only a CRATE wicked
ness, but dredphull phoolish one too,
for it kosts double the time and pashunce
to be cunning nave that it duz to be
honest.
Thare would be poor excuse, at least,
for prakticing hipokrasy, if this vile
artifce ever did suckceed in eskaping
detection, but sooner or at last we hav
seen an imposture ov emmy kind brought
to grief.
1t IL very rare, if ever, that crime or
deceit iz buried with its perpetrator, and
thare is hardly emmy thing that iz dis
honest which the world dispizes more
and will work harder to detekt than
hipokrasy.
Hipokrasy, like impudense, is a certain
sign ov weakness, and like impudense,
too, iz allwuss a sorry howard.
Theze two moral vagrants are often
found in each others company, but az a
general thing hipokrasy IL too mean to
be impudent, and sneaks about the
world humble, but devlish.
Next to stealing stands hypolzrasy,
two sins that I don't beleave the devil
himself feels proud ov

How Colds Attack.

Colds this year seem to have a pecu-
liar tendency to develop themselves in
the form of pneumonia. In such cases
the substance of the lungs is affected,
the air passages become filled up, and
breathing is difficult. There is also q
tendency to cough and fever, and usually
a deep pain in the chest. Pleurisy,
which is an affection of the membrrne
covering the lungs, is generally first
manifested by sharp pain in the side,
attended with difficulty in breathing,
rapid pulse, and high fever. If one is
attacked with either of these diseases,
and physician cannot be Immediately
procured, the best thing to be done is to
induce free perspiration by hot foot
bath, warm drinks, and warm bed.
Painful breathing is frequently relieved
by sweet spirits of inter, taken in doses
of half teaspoonful every half hour.
