The proprietor gazed after the purchaser
as he went out about five minutes, the
picture of arnazement, and then he sat
down and famed himself for half an hour,
and then got up and consumed half an
hour more in slowing away the piles of
fancy cakes and Talking to himself softly,

JUST after the trial of "a petty case in

was witness, three or four of the lawyers
were discussing among themselves the
variety of testimony deduced, when Gener-

witness stand as Hank Fisher; he is uu-
doubtedly the biggest liar l ever knew

FORTY-NINE YEARS IN BED. An artist
fond Of subjects for still-lif pictures could
find all he wanted in the case of William
Sharpe, who, according to the Doncaster
Gazette, went to bed in 1907, and never got
up till he died there in 1S56--a still life of
forty nine years passed in a chamber nine
feet square, the windows of which had not
been raised for thirty eight years. When
he was thirty he went one fine morning to
church to be married, but his affianced
came not, her father having an invincible
repuguance to Mr.. William Sharpe as a
son-in-law. The mortified bridegroom
went home, undressed, got into bed, pulled
the blankets over his head, and for forty
nine years obstinately refused to get up
and clotbe himself, or to do any work, pass
ing the time uninterruptedly in bed. He
was never seriously i'll during this time.
His body was perfectly sound IN spite ofits
great age and great abuse, aud he WAS only
sick one week before his death.

Capt. Boyton's experience in
crossing the British Channel was
not so delightful as to make other
persons in haste 10 try similar ex-
pertinent. Dr.. Diver, who attend
ed him, gives these particulars OF
Capt. Boyton's sufferings on the
voyage: '.IIe was received on
board the Prince Ernest at about
2:30 on Saturday morning, when he
had been about 23t hours in the
water. He was perspiring very
freely, complained of general stiff
ness, with pains in his wrists, from
padlling. He stated that for the
first few hours be suffered terribly.
and that he even wished his dress
might burst and he 90 down. He
was very sleepy at this time, and
actually slept in the water and
dreamt, waking with a start and
finding himself padding. Some
very strong green tea was given to
him, which di>pelled all his unpleaS-
ant symptoms. The last two or
three miles, he SAID, seemed never
ending to him, and he would not
again 90 through what he had ex-
perienced for any money. He WAS
undressrd, >ponged and rubbed
down, and placed in hot blankets.
His face was very red, and in some
places the skin had cracked from
exposure of the sun and salt water.
He was fatigued, but not very
much, considering what he had
gone through. His face was creased
and cold wet rags afterward applied
to 1t, which relieved him much.
His pulse was II, and his tempera-
ture 96 degrees. The action of his
heart was feeble but this is natural
N him, and was observed on the
former occasion. He was full of
spirits at his success. In about an
hour he walked to the Pavilion
Hotel, looking, with the exception
OF his face, very little the worse for
his interesting trip"

afterward, and then returned to
Germany, taking wirh him his son,
who was then 6 years of age.
StrIRberg, when he returned TO
Germany, renouaced his citizenship
acquired in the Uni'e,i States, and
resumed bis allegiance to German
rule. His son who was born i'm this
country, is an American citizen, until
he renOuBces his allegiance here.
This, he says, has never been done.
He is now 20 years of age and has
been draft ed into Emperor Williams
army. Young Steinberg has ap-
pealed to this country To save him
from service in the German army.
He claims this upon the ground that
he is a born citizen of the United
States, who was removed from it
not by his own free will, and who
has never rennunced the citizenship
acquired by his bir h TIE case
was sent to the State Department.
and by it referred to the Attorney
General. When the case first came
to him, he said, why has tins sim
pie case been sent to me? Surely
such case as this has been decided
over and again, before this" How
ever, upon examination, it l. dI~-
covered that no similar case ha>
eve: been brought up. The poiut,
involved are very nice ones. From
the conversation of Mr.. Pierreponf
upon the subject, it i Inferred
that he was of the opinion that tn.
Government would protect young
Steinberg. Then, If this country
does demand Steinberg, the next
question is, Will the German En-
pire give him up.

The COMING PEACH CRop.-It is
estimated that the Delaware peach
crop this year will reach 10000, 900
ba>kets-the largest ever known.
In 1859, when 100000 baskets
We're shipped, the limit of pro luc-
ton was said to have been realized.
New markets for the present crop
will have to be opened, and there
Is fair prospect that peaches will
be wonderfully cheap this season.
An experiment is to be tried at
Middletown by New York cap
italist. A s25 900 storehouse tor
peaches will be kept at an even
temperature of about one degree
above freezing point, so that those
not Intended for an early market
can be kept one, two or even six

PRESC CRIPTION FOR DRUNKEN

PRESCRIPTION FOR DRUNKEN
NEss.-There is curious pre>crip-
ton m England for the cure of drum
krnness, by which thousands ar
said TO have been assisted in recov-
ering themselves. The recipe came
into notorlety through the eff prts OF
Rev. Newman Hall and Capt. VIue
Hall, commander of the Great Eas-
tern. He had fallen into such ha-
bitual drunkenness that his utmost
effort to regain himself proved una
vailing. AT length he sought the adj
vice Of an eminent physician, who
gave him a prescription which be
followed faithfully for several
months, and at the end Of that time
BE had lost all desire for liquors, al
though he had been led captive by
most debasing appetite. The re-
clpe, which he afterw yard publish
ed, and by which so many have
been assisted to reform is a. follows:
Sulphate of iron, FIVE grains; mag
nesia, ten grains; peppermint water,
eleven grain; spirit OF nutmeg, one
drachm; To be taken twice a day.
This preparation acts as a tonic ami
stinulant and so parIy supplies the
place OF the accustomed liquor, aud
prevents that absolute physical and
moral pros.r.cion That follows su :
