THERE is negro boy at Henderson,
Ky, who, for the hardness of skull, is
without parallel in the State Last
'eAonth Wash Smith Chats his name) and
companion were out shooting near the
railroad, when by some means disorder
ly and angry alteration ensued between
them, and struggle soon followed, where
upon the other negro cooked his gun, ami,
taking aim at Wash's head, discharged a
full load of No. 4 hard-shot against this
important feature of his constitution.
Strange TO relate, the shot were hurled
back against the aggressive party with
such violence as TO wound him in several
places. Not so much as even adent could
be detected on any part of Wash's fore
head, although the shot struck him on
several places. He was, week or so
after this, passing the baseball grounds
when one of the boys offered to give him
a cigar providing he would not object to
being struck across the forehead with
bat To this Wash readily assented, and
Bill GraysOn who proposed TO do the
striking, hit him lick sufficient to fell an
OK. The negro was hardly staggered by
the blow, and now wants 10 know If any
pusson is got any mo- segars TO glib way"

beneficial effects we do know something;
and from personal experiments 1t is our
opinion that its virtues have not been exag.

the press. II any Of our fellow-brethren are
suffering from hepatic disorders, and have
doubts In relation to the efficacy of this popu-

simple and candid argument OF Philip to Ma

the liquid Is contained in the food it is
generally more palatable and nourishing
than when added extrancously. Thus a
juicy apple is always more acceptable
than dry one, which requires little wa

which has been roasted or broiled till the
natural juices are all cvaporated becomes

A HIRED girl should be ingenious. One
of them, in the employ of West street
family, discovered unique way of ex-
tracing teeth. She suffered nearly a
whole week with an aching tooth but had
not the courage to go 10 dentist. One
afternoon il troubled her so much as to
force her TO look for a remedy, and she
finally hit upon plan. With piece of
stout twine she made loop which she
put about her tooth Then she took bit
of soap and rubbed it on the floor opposite
the back door The other end ofthctwine
she fastened 10 the knob OF tho closed
door, then she took a position on the
soaped boards and commenced to lean
back. When she had acquired slope of
about foriy-fge degrees the soap suddenly
took hold and she came down on the floor
with such force as TO knock pair of ten
dollar vases from a mantel upstairs. And
there she sat reaching out or'breath when
