A. PUNKINHEAD,
GROCERIES AND THINGS.

81 am informed" he continued,
"that four hundred Thousand eight
hundred and seventy-two tooth-picks
are used by the Cincinnati hotels every
year, which is equal to that many bust
ne cards Of mine distributed to the
public. Now fifty dollars wouldn't buy
that number of business cards and in
sure their distribution.
Certainly not. Bat this inscription
on the tooth picks must be very small
l don't see how it can be read"
Nothing easier, my dear sir. You
see each agent carries a small microscope
to assist people in making it out. BuI
that isn't the only advertising plan
am in with. You see this piece of rag
with my card printed on it? Yes well
you probably couldn't guess what it il
for. I'll tell you. It's for doing up g
sore finger"
what has a sore finger got to dc
with advertising?"
Everything, my dear cir, every.
thing. There are over q million sore
fingers in America every year. At q
very moderate expense an advertising
firm in Philadelphia prints my cards on
rags like these and furnishes them to
victims of sore fingers free of charge,
so they will use them in preference to
all others. A million of these rags are
sent to all parts of the United States,
and am only required to pay one hun.
bred and fifty dollars for the privilege
of having my name on them"
"And you paid it ?"
"Certainly I cid. I had to, in order
to prevent any other man from getting
the chance ahead of me.
A sore finger, then, you consider 9
better advertising medium than an
established and popular newspaper"
We'll, yes. in this case. Been trav'
cling lately?"
" Yes made a trip to Minnesota and
Iowa not long ago."
Then you must have seen my bust
ness card painted in black letters on 6
white BOARD and nailed to the telegraph
poles ?"
We hadn't seen anything of the kind
"Singular if you didn't. A mar
came along last fall and collected one
hundred dollars of me for mailing suct
a board on every telegraph pole in the
United States. That was his contract
and I paid him the money on his aft
davit that the work was done. But per
haps you wasn't noticing telegraph
poles. No, 1 don't believe will pu
any advertisement in your paper Thu
week. You see am advertising gooC
deal now"
just then a man came in and collected
bill for sticking Punkinhead's card OF
every balloon that went up during 1874
and effected a new contract for 1875
with what he called the "diving bel
supplement" agreeing to attach caro-
to all diving bells thar go down in 187!
without extra charge, a compliment, al
he said, to their regular advertisers
When we left another advertising aeen
was laying before Punkinhe d the grea
advantage Of investing IN a paten
stamp to be attached to the seats o
boys pants when they go skating
When they get a fall his name ant
business will be neatly stamped upoI
the ice, so that all who skate may read
When it comes to judicious advertising
the race of Punkinheads is very numer
.ous.

NJ, DE FoNvILLE made balloon ascent
from La Villette on the I'd inst, with a
view to Calculating the causes of the
late Zenith balloon catastrophe, reach
ing the altitude of about II, 600 feet.
No effect was experienced by the human
excursionist, but bird in a cage sus-
pended from the netting, where it was
exposed to the inhalation of the escaping
gas, died of hemorrhage into the brain.
M. de Fonville had previously surmised
that the fatal result in the case OF the
Zenith @ronauts was due rather TO the
inhalation of this gas than to the height
attained, and is convinced that with
proper precautions scientific experiments
may be safely conducted at an immense
altitude.

The destruction of life in India by
wild beasts and reptiles appears to be
on the increase. Over &c, 900 persons,
it is estimated, die annually from snake
bites alone, while the inhabitants of the
border lands are killed by tigers in
alarming numbers. In the three years
from 1866 to 1869 tigers destroyed 946
Europeans in the central provinces /;
during period of six years wild beasts
in Bengal cost IL, 4O1 lives and in one
month in 1867, in South Canara, 40 per-
sons fell victims. Mr.. Clements Mark
ham states that a single tigress caused
the destruction of IS villages, and 256
square miles of country were conse-
quently thrown out of cultivation, while
another tigress in 1869 killed 1877 people
and stopped all traffic Oh public road
for many weeks.
By an order from the post-office de
partment, separate pouches for regis
tered letters will eoon be placed on all
the principal mail routes in the country.
This will be invaluable assistance to
the mail robbers. Heretofore they have
been obliged to carry off bags OF unre'
munerative letters, and with much care
and toll fish out the letters that had
money in them.
"WHAr's this crowd around here
for ?" demanded a policeman the other
night as he came upon dozen boys
grouped near house on second street.
"Keep still, replied one of the lads,
'.there comes old John, tight as brick,
and we're waiting here to see his wife
pop him with the rolling pin as he opens
the front door"

THE pollution OF rivers in England by
the manufactures along their banks has
become serious matter. Chemical
works and dye houses are the worst
PRISONERS of the water. A man who
fell into the river at Bradford died from
swallowing some of the liquid. The
Clyde is described as emitting malari-
GUS effiuvia, the Mersey as almost I'M
bsarable in it's stencil. and the Bourne
as thick and yellow. The few fish that
live in these streams are unfit for food.

few days ago and ordered his paper to be
stopped, because he differed with Richard
La Rue in the views of subsoiling ience

to stop the paper, and remarked, coolly,
as he looked over his list:

From day to day the dreary heaven
Outpoured its hopeless heart in rain;
The conscious pines, half shuddering, heard
The secret of the East Winds pain.
Mist yelled the sun-the sombre land,
In floating cloud-wracks densely fureu,
Seemed shut forever from the bloom
And gladness of the living world.
From week to week the changeess heaven
Went on-and still its secret pain
10 the bent pine trees sobbed the wind.
In hollow truces of the rain.
Till in a sunset hour, whose light
Pale hints of radiance pulsed o'erhead,
Atar the moaning East Wind died,
And the mild West Wind breathed instead
Then the clouds broke, and ceased the rain;
The sunset many Il klndlng shaft
Shot to the woods heart; Nature rose,
And through her soft-lipped verdures Iaughet

Last winter family in the western part
of the city fed great number of robins,
and built comfortable house for them in
their back yard thinking in the summer
they would kill the worms on the trees
The robins multiplied, and all went well
until a short time ago the birds took 4 fan
cy to a neighbor's cherries The neighbor
seized his little gun and bagged thirty -one
of the aforesaid plump robins. A few days
afterwards the wife of the neighbor, in the
course of conversation, mentioned what a
splendid pie she had enjoyed, composed of
thirty-one robins. One of the friends of
the family, whose robins were killed, ap-
piled to the cruelty agent, thinking they
had got a hold upon the wicked slaughter
er OF the robins according to statute, but
was shown a revision of the statute dated
March 3. 1874, permitting the killing OF
robins when stealing summer fruits And
now, it is rumored, there will be more
robin pies. Portland Adv.
