Gossip and Gleanings.

Yesterday when newsboy got hold of the
information that the big New York bankers
had failed he called number of his best
friends together at the post-office. and said:
ssSee here, you fellers. There's another
big bust-up in New York. Peanuts, harvest
apples, jaw-breakers and gum will kite right
up, and II you've got any money you want to
hump around and get in ahead of the panic.'
And they "humped." -Detuoit Free Press.
Free Press-Lately, as the black clouds
rolled up in the west and people prepared for
storm, citizen standing near the monu-
ment wiped his face and remarked, "What
grand sight for an artistp' A woman, not
thirty feet away, waiting for car colloquiz-
ed, Grain comm, and I'll bet dollar get

yelled out, 20, yes ! rain if yer want to, there

''If you dareo to play marbles for keeps
again. said Mr.. Hurtlescamb to his eldest
boy, "Pn whip you within an inch of your
life." And then Mr.. Hurtlescamp went on
'change, and lifted up his voice at the call
board, and raised his hand and shook it in
the air, and got red in the face as he cried,
''Sixty-seven! sixty-seven! for fifty thousand

cents bushel, cashr'
A little Idaho three-year-old fell into well
recently, where the water was only six inches
deep, and remained there six hours before he
was discovered. When he was finally rescued
his pent-up wrath knew no bounds. There
was no crying about, it, but such volley of
invectives upon the heads of neglectful
parents never before fell from childish lips.
Here is sample: "You fink kin tay in

youth heard of a boy who educated himself
to become great orator, he went home, got
his school reader down, and began, "The
next gale that sweeps from the north will
bring to our ears the clash--v' His mother
arrived just then, and taking him by the ear,
she said, "Boy, If you don't go out and split

solemnly vowed that he would 60 to Missouri

SEA CAPTAIN CURED

LEXINGTON, Mass, June %, 1875.
PROF. ALPHONSE KILLER:
DEAR SIR:-For the alienation of human suffer-
ing feel it my duty well pleasure to certify to
the following facts in my own case:
The past spring was sore afflicted with Sciatic
Rheumatism, suffering night after night and all night,
without the least CESSATION the most excruciating
pains ever knew. My doctor who practiced in my
family for over thirty years. to my entire satsfac-
ton, and in whom still have the utmost confidence
said that ''medicine would do me no good-he could
not help me, time probably would, and in six or
eight weeks it might leave me; in the meantime
must grin and bear it." But was not disposed to
do So and in my desperation caught at the first arti
Gle, which under the name of Quack or Patent Medi-
cine, or any other remedy, promised relief 1t hap
pened that this was the
Diamond Rheumatic Cure,
obtained at No. 80 Hanover street, Boston. The
statements accompanying directions seemed reason
able and determined to give it fair trial. 1 did
So at the same time being without faith in its ell
cacy followed the directions. and the results were
that using the third bottle was sensible that it
acting powerfully and tavorably, and before US
ing the fourth bottle my pain had passed away, and
now have occasion to grin with joy that longer
have to bear them.
WIN. D. PHELPS.
Mr.. Phelps is gentleman well and favorably
known in this community, and for the past 40 years
has been recognized by our shipping merchants as
of the most successful captains sailing from this
port. This testimony is genuine and speaks more
than volumes could express in favor of the great
merits of the
DIAMOND
RH e u MATIC CUR e.
This medicine is prepared BY careful, experienced
and conscientious physician in obedience to the de-
sire of numberless friends in the profession in the
ranted to contain the full strength Of the medicine in
its highest state of purity and Development and is
superior to any medicine ever compounded for this
terrible complaint.
In simple cases sometimes or two doses suffice.
In the most chronic cases it is to give way by
the use of four five bottles. By this efficient and
simple remedy hundreds ofdollars saved those
who can least afford to throw it away surely it is
by the purchase of useless prescriptions.
This medicine is for sale at all Druggists through
out the United States and Canada. If it happens
that your druggist hasnot got it in took ask him to
send for it to any of the Wholesale Druggists in Bos

The POpe's Daily Life.

One of the extracts which is making
tho round of the press at present is a
sketch of the daily life of the Pope,
written by M. Bernadille from facts Civ
en- by no less watchful an observer than
the valet de chanbre of His Holiness.
One of the most interesting features of
the Papal biography here given is the
care bestowed upon the particulars of his
diet. He rises at $50 o'clock, winter or
summer, and spends three hours and a
quarter in prayer, receiving the Sacra-
ment, and visiting the chapel which con-
tains a fragment of the true cross, an
other of the crib of Bethlehem, some
teeth of st. Peter, and piece of the
skull of st. John the Baptist. A basin
of broth and cup of coffee at S:45 con-
stitute his breakfast; bowl of soup and
a glass of Bordeaux wine, made from
his own particular vine, make a good
lunch. At he dimes OH bowl of soup,
with clock-work regularity, declining to
taste the boiled fowl and meat which ac-
company the soup, but enjoys some Ro-
man FIXTURE, vegetables, and fruits.
At nine o'clock bowl of soup, two
boiled potatoes, and some fruit afford
him frugal supper, and then he goes to
bed, to renew next morning the routine
of his daily life. His Holiness was in his
S0th year before he could drink Bordeaux
wine with any relish. Previous to that
time he preferred common white wine.
What he now takes is made by the nuns
of st. Joseph for his special use. The
frugal habits of the august prisoner, as
he delights to be called, have secured
for him wonderfully good health, for a
man of his age. His doctor and surgeon
visit him once a week, feel his pulse,
assure him he is free from fever, and
retire

A Beautiful Huntress.

Miss Clara Hale, of Harrisburg, Penn,
went on cunning expedition down the
peninsula, and met with considerable
success Early on Tuesday morning last
she went out, and in short time sue
ceeded in bagging sixteen cartridges and
three squirrels. The night of the same
day she shot eight muskrats, two Of
which, however, she failed to get. On
Wednesday afternoon she gave few in
vited friends an exhibition of her skill
in handling a revolver. An old-fash-
toned copper cent was fastened to fence
post, and she hit it eight times out >of
ten. Several pigeons were let out OF a
trap, every one of which she brought
down.
Miss Hale is beautiful brunette,
about seventeen years old, and her form
is perfect. She is intelligent, fluent
speaker, and delights in recounting her
hunting adventures in the mountainous
regious of Pennsylvania. Her uniform
consists of tight-ftting, light corduroy
Jacket, short skirt of the same material,
with the inevitable hustle, which she
utilities for the purpose of carrying her
ammunition, etc., several pockets being
neatly arranged in it. Her cap is also of
light corduroy, with an oil-cloth, reversi-
bic cover, and her feet and ankles are
tightly encased in pair of India-rubber
boots. She carries one of Remington
handsome fowling-pieces, and seems to
be greatly attached to her two canine
companions, who answer to the names of
Eloise and Skippo. The Seaford Citizen
says she is now visiting few friends in
Sussex county, and will soon return
home Wilmington Every Evening.

English and American Tourists.

A correspondent of the Hartford
Times, writing of tourists on the Cont
nent, says: "There is the brisk, commu-
NEGATIVE American who makes acquaint-
ances right and left, and cheerfully an
nOunces, / am an American utterly
unconscious that that very name is
stamped all over him in characters of
living light. And the American who
wishes to be considered an Englishman,
and wears long coat and side whis-
kers, and American girls, who are breezy
and chatty and enthusiastic, and so very
pretty that we are proud of them, though
they do talk too loud and forget there
are other people besides themselves on
the boat. And the silent Englishmen,
who always carry a field glass strapped
over their shoulders, and stand smoking
in commanding attitudes; and the
English women, keeping guard over some
twenty-five shawls and rugs, each rolled
in a separate shawl-strap, who always
wears a long waterproof cloak, and are
not ashamed to take cold tea out of a
flask when they need it and the reserved
English girl, who is certainly very fair
to look upon, though you imagine her
rather too subdued and stolid to be in
teresting, and there seems to be a mo-
notony in the yes, DEAR and no, DEAR
that FIJI out the gentle trickle of CONVEX
sation between herself and friends; and
the young Englishman, whose long blue
veil waves from bis hat-band as he ap-
pears in picturesque attitude, in high
wooden, loose knee-breeches and walking
boots bristling with nail-heads, leaning
on his alpenstock, and resting after his
arduous labors. To be sure no high
mountains seem to be very near. The
Bermese Oberland, which we saw from
Berne, seems to have been taken back
into heaven, for we see nothing more of
it or of any other snow-clad peaks; but
our Englishman has the names Of half
the famous mountains in Switzerland
branded on his alpenstock, so we know
he has climbed them all, and we feel that
we are in the presence Of a hero, and adj
mire his courage greatly, while we think
his mother will be 50 pleased to see how
careful he has been of his clothes amid
all the perils of ice and rock and ava
lanche-not break or scratch appear
ing anywhere"

The recent visit of the Empress of
Russia and the Grand Dukes, her sons, to
Paris, appears to have been in marked
contrast with their sejourn in London,
the French capital having blossomed
into such fetes and splcndors as in later
years it has rarely seen. There was not
much Republican simplicity in the re-
ception which the Marshal President Of
fered them. There was, on the contrary,
a touch of the old lavish splendor OF
Louis XIV's time, in all the Hastings
and merry-makings. As the Empress Is
passionately fond of flowers, wagons
filled with the rarest and costliest bios
SONS were daily sent to the Embassy of
Russia during her stay. All the great
notables went daily to. do her homage;
the new opera-house was illuminated,
and the Grand Dukes, attended by the
Marshal, were shown the decorations of
the finest musical temple in the world.
During their stay the Republican Presi-
dent also entertained the. Imperial party
at banquet in the Palace of the Ely
see, after which reception was given,
and clever comedians beguiled the time
with spyightly pieces from the repertoire
