He Was There.

[ was working at an old Tufts press
when my roller-boy gave utterance to
prolonged roar. He had an old newspa-
per pinned with bodkin against the
back of a type-case at his left hand, from
which he had been reading by snatches
/ asked him what he was laughing at,
and he read the anecdote which had so
excited him. I have not seen it in print
from that day to this, and think it worth
reproducing:
In the times when the political warfare
between the Wings and Democrats waxed
hot and relentless there was town out
West in which the two parties were so
nearly equal that the variation of single
vote, one way or the other, might be a
matter of most serious consequence. OF
course, on both sides sharp eyes were
open and watchful.
A young man came up to the polling
place on election day, and offered his
vote. 1t was his first appearance in the
character of an elector, and he had the
independence, or audacity, to differ po-
itically with his father. His father
challenged his vote.
"On what grounds?" demanded the
presiding officer.
" He amt twenty-one."
81 am twenty one, " asserted the youth.
"No you amt" persisted the father;
"you won't be twenty-one till to-mor-
row."
CT say I aOiU!" cried the youth. "I
was born Oh the twelfth day of Novem-
Der. It's down so in the old Bible"
''Then it's dod-rotted mistake" said
the old man. "You weren't born till the
mornin' of the thirteenth Of November,
/ can swar -
Chow can you swear?"
"How?" repeated the father, indig-
nantly. Goodness gracious wasn't 1
thar"

defiance, "aOGsya't I there, too 90

Dainty i'm the Extreme.

A contributor to the editors Draw
er" in Harper's tells the following story
Of an old Dutch landlord who "kept tav-
ern" in New York village in the good
old times when such modern inventions
as butter-knives, silver forks, and clean
plates for each "course" of meats were
unknown, at least in that corner of the
world.
One morning this worthy " Wirth was
aroused from reverie behind the bar
room stove by the arrival of traveller
a rare apparition to his household
whose dress and manner indicated that
he hailed from "der city" 1t was near
noon, and the stranger made known. his
wants by calling for feed for his horse
and dinner for himself. AS the tall
Dutch clock in the corner struck twelve
be was conducted into back room which
served the double purpose of dining
room and kitchen, and took his seat with
the boarders- they were not called
"guests consisting of the village
schoolmaster, the farrier, the store keep
er's clerk" and several farm hands
who hired out in the neighborhood, and
who, being st to the manner born, con-
tentedly ate their food of flesh, green's,
and pastry off one and the same plate in
the primitive style. The landlord and
his two buxom daughters did duty as
walters; the carving was performed by
every man for himself" with his own
knife and fork The meal proceeded
quietly until the first "course" was dis
patched when the stranger astonished
the natives by calling for clean plate,
knife and fork, preparatory to changing
his ham and egg diet for cut of roast
beef. They were handed to him, how
ever, without remark, although not with
out dumfounded stare from the land
lord, and again things went along as
usual, until the stranger, having disposed
of the substantials, and feeling inclined
to finish off with slice of pie, called for
another clean plate with knife and fork
accompaniment. This was more than
the saturnine landlord, with his home
bred notions, could stand. He rushed
up to the stranger, leaned over his shout
der, and looking him-not square, but
sideways-in the face, said,
"I likes to axis you yust one queshn. "
"Well, what is it?" was the some what
surprised response of the stranger.
"Vy, wants to know uf you got bar
ditions in your pelly?"

Reasons for Going Abroad.

People Should Eat More Fruit.

The Herald Of Health, in its current
number, has an article on "Fruit and
Food, which, the writer thinks, is far
too sparingly used by everybody. He
takes some of the principal hotels in New
York, and compares in figures the amount
of flesh and fruit consumed every week.
Thus the amount of animal food con
sumed at the four principal New York
hotels, the Fifth Avenue, Grand Central,
st. Nicholas and Windsor, is put down
in round numbers at about $1,000 pounds
per week. These are the average weekly
figures, including fish, flesh, fowl, game
and oysters The amount of fruit is
given as 900 pounds, with 645 gallons Of

The Mysteries of the Human Throat.

DR.. Frederick Fieber, of Vienna, like
the little boy with his drum, not content
with enjoying the melody of Madame
Pauline Lucca, has made close scrutiny
of the throat whence the sweet sounds
issue, and publishes the result of his in
vestigations. The mechanical apparatus
which is the instrument of the mental
faculty, appears in Madame Lucca's case
to be beautifully perfect, the result to
some extent, perhaps, of congenital fit
ness, but also doubtless, partly of the
scientific training to which the young ar
tiste has been subjected in early youth.
Examined under the laryngoscope, the
lary1lx appears small and well-shaped,
its several parts being marvelously de-
veloped and perfect. The true strings
are pure snow white and possess none OF
the blush tinge common among women.
Although shorter than usual among vo-
calists they are stronger in proportion
and amply provided with muscle. When
at rest they are partly screened by the
false strings; but DR.. Fieber, who
watched Madame Lucca's throat through
his instrument while she was singing,
noticed that as soon as tone was struck,
they displayed themselves in their full
breadth and strength. The aid given
by suitable form Of mouth to the pro-
duction of vocal music is novel and in
teresting point brought out by DIR. Fie
ber On being admitted to view of
the artiste's mouth he was at once struck
with the spaciousness and symmetry OF
its hollowness, the otherwise perfect sym
metry being impaired only by the alb
sence of a tonsil, which had been re-
moved, as we'll as with the vigor with
which every tone produced raised the
"sail " of the palate. DR.. Fieber is of
the opinion that the natural conforma-
ton of her mouth accounts in a large
measure for the wonderful power Mad
anne Lucca possesses of raising and drop
ping her voice alternately. The sound
waves are naturally strengthened in SO
favorably shaped space, while the mus
Giles of the palate appeared to have &C
quired exceptional strength and pliability
by long practice.

A Remarkable Book.

In 1868 P. T. Barnum wrote his Autobiogra-

in Hartford, Conn.,, for which they paid him
$4,000. 1t made book of 500 pages, was
profusely illustrated, gave particular &C
count of BarnuIns eventful life i'll all parts of
the world, and included his celebrated lecture
on 1.-The Art of Money Getting" Horace
Greeley pronounced the book worth hun
dred dollar greenback to many beginner in

the book by subscription, at three dollars and
half = copy. In 1871, when Mr.. Barnum
started his great travelling shows, he bought
back the copyright and stereotype plates OF
his book for 10000, added an Appendix

PATENT MEDICINES. That there are
some good patent medicines no intelligent
man dare for moment deny; and pre-
eminent is the great California hero med
icine, VINEGAR BTrTERs, discovered by
DR.. j. WALKER, prominent physician
of San Francisco. This medicine, al
though called Bitters, isnot to be classed
among the vile fancy drinks y recon-
mended and sold over the bar by rum
vendors, but is combination of pure
herbalistic extracts, known to possess
sterling medicinal qualities, and is COM
pounded without the use in any shape of
spirits. Its action upon the internal sys-
tenn is not stimulating to the extent that
alcoholic poison is, but it at once attacks
blood-impurities, and by removing the
original cause destroys the germs of dis
ease and invites returning health. It's
action upon the stomach and liver render
it all almost certain specific in the most
stubborn cases of dyspepsia, and in truth
imparts new life and vigor to the whole
system. It is one of the best medicines
ever invented.

THE QUEEN OF ALL SEWING MACHINES.
In speaking of the merits of the Wilson
shuttle sewing machine, it is sufficient for us
TO say that we think the invention of this ma
chine marks one Of the most important eras in
tine history of this country and when we con-
slider the influence it has upon the social we'll
being of the masses, it is difficult to conceive
of All invention Of more Importance. 1t has a
beautiful noiseless movement it makes the
genuine "lock-stitch" alike on both sides, and
does TO perfection all kinds of plain and fine
sewing it needs no commentator it's rapid
sales, the increasing demand, and the many
gathering testimonials from those who have
used it, lis sufficient proof of it's merits. The
want of sewing machine is deeply felt in
every household, and as the Wilson shuttle
sewing machine on account of its extreme
simplicity and less cost OF manufacture, is sold
at a much lower price than all other first class
machines, it is meeting with the extensive
patronage that it SO justly deserves. Machines

JOSEPHINE MERRITT, of Nashville,
Tenn, lost her infant child the other day
in singular manner. The child was lying
in it's cradle, all snugly wrapped up and
well in every way, when colored man
dropped in and engaged in little chat
Finally the colored man, no lightweight,
concludedto sit down, and, unthinkingly,
sat down plump into the cradle. The
colored man might have sat down on the
edge of the cradle, or he might have set
tied down lightly in one end Of it ; he
might have done one of these things,
but he didn't. He came down like pile
driver, and it didn't make any difference
that he came up like rocket-the mis-
chief was accomplished and one little
baby was cut off from life early enough
to avoid the troubles of this wicked world.
The poor colored man was plunged In
grief, but he couldn't undo what he had
done nor make the fattened infant any
plumper.
