Funny Cures.

Caesar held that to die quickly was
to die happily; so, too, thought one
whose case was cited by Montaigne
as an instance of fortune playing the
physician. Jason Phercus, troubled
with IN incurable imposthumation,
resolved to end his pain by dying in
battle; and throwing himself in the
thickest of the fight, was run
through the body, which caused the
imposthumation to break, and his
wound healing, he found life enjoy
able after ALL This lucky hero, who
could brave death better than he
could endure pain, owed his cure to
q foe. A qninsy afflicted Cardinal
had to thank n monkey for like
good tnrn. The physician had left
him to die, and as he lay hopelessly
waiting for the end, the dying Cardi-
nal saw his servants carry off every
thing that was movable, without be-
inc able even to expostulate with the
thieves. At length his pet ape came
into the room, and, taking the hint
from the providcnt lackeys, looked
around for something he could appro-
pirate. Nothing was left but the
Cardinals hat; this the ape donned,
and, proud of his headgcar, indulged
in such odd antics that HE all but
dead master burst into n hearty fit OF
laughter. The quinsy broke, and the
Cardinal recovered, as much to his
own astonishment as to the dismay
of his plundering servitOrs.

American Herolsm.

The centennial celebrations all over
the country will teach us this also,
that in the final consecrating grace
of any scene upon the globe, namely,
the display of the highest human
heroism, our own soil is as rich as any
upon which the sun shines. Haw
thorne, who lived in Concord, ,bewailed
the want of romantic suggestion in
this country, yet afterward in his
Septimius FELTON, he showed that his
own quiet village and its famous day
were as full of romantic and moving
incident as any spot or time in his
tory. Where, in any annals, is there
a more striking and poetic story than
that of the midnight march to Con-
cord, and the country rising behind
the invader? What element of ro-
nance is wanting to the, scene of
Ethan Allen entering the fortress
whose name of 7Ticonderoga is full of
resounding music, and which is set
amid every picturesque charm of
landscape, and summOning the sur
render in the name of the Great Je
hovah and the Continental Congress?
Even the tender grace of Philip Sid
ney's pure devotion in handing the
cup of water tn the dying soldier is
emulated by the reply of the young
man mortally stricken upon battle
field of the late war, who refused to
allow his comrade to leave the gun
to give him a drop of water. If
America is not classic ground, there
is none. If our own story does not
inspire the imagination, imagination
has expired.-Fditor's Easy chair,

Last night James Dixon, "The
Salamandcr, or Fire King" as he
delights to call himself, gave a pri-
vate exhibition of his powers to a
representative of this paper. The
man Is negro, black as the ace of
spades, and badly pocked marked.
As model of Apollo he wonld fail,
but as hot coal HEAVIER he has
genius. He applies red-hot irons to
his face, arms and legs, and seems
rather to enjoy the sensation. He
began his performance by sprink-
ling some resin over quantity of
oakum, on tin plate, and then set
ting the mixture on fire. When it
was in full blaze he cut the oakum
into small pieces, and chewed it by
bites until the flames were extin
guished. While the Salamandcr
was taking his meal of fire, an iron
rod, with fiat crescent-shaped blade,
was being heated in n small furnace,
such rs is used by travelling thinkers,
and when he drew it ont its heat was
intense. He drew the red-hot blade
up and down his arms and legs and
across his face, after which he licked
it with his tongue until the blade be-
came as black as if plunged into
water. A cylindrical tube, about six
inches in length, and a six Xpound
cannon ball we're next heated, and
the Fire King pushed them over the
floor with his bare feet. The sizzle
of the scorching hoofs, and the
smell with which it was accompanied,
make it desirable that this portion
of tn. performance be Witnessed at
some distance from the odOrous Afri-
can. Next he melted some lead and
poured the moulten. metal into his
mouth and the next moment elected
it hard and cold. To show that his
internal arrangements are as fire
proof as his external, he boiled some
sweet oil and drank off a cup with
evident relish, his eyes turning up
ward in apparent ecstacy. In con
clusion, he heated several strips of
fiat iron at one end and holding the
cool ends of the strips he bent the
ends into the form of poker, first
with one foot and then with the other,
and Strengthened them again with his
hands. The cracking of the burn
ing flesh and the smoke arising from
his hands and feet sends a thrill
through one.
If Dixon uses chemicals to pre-
vent the FIRE from reaching his flesh
he does it 50 cleverly as to blindfold
the shrewdest observer. Noticing a
shade of sadness on the mans ebony
visage, the reporter asked what great
grief oppressed hm. He smiled
(like horse) and replied: "oh,
muffin much, sar; on'y sometimes l
feel bad on 'connt o. havin' no whis-
kahs; 'kase l would 'jes' like to en-
joy de luxury O. Shawn myself wid a
re,l-bot razahp' So it appears that
even this fire-proof African is not
entirely happy. He contenplates
aiy;ne a public exhibition here. Of
which due notice will probably be

Fancy Dancing.

An editor cautions young men, who
can't dance the fancy dances, not to
go to Il ball with young lady who
can, and adds a few suggestions as
follows:
"If We ever have children we shall
teach them these fancy dances to the
neglect of the catechism. Not that
they will enjoy the hopping around,
first on one foot, then on the other,
then on both, but they will have such
good chance to hug other folks
wives and syeetheartsl That is the
secret of the dancing! No one can
object then, but if a fellow were to
sit by the side of his own wife even
in ball room and hug her half as
hard, well, wouldn't there he re-

From the Detroit Post.
The Ohio Democratic platform has
some good planks, which are bor-
rowed from former Republican plat
forms. It resolves in favor Of the
protection of all citizens, "without
regard to race, color, or previous con-
dition of servitude." This plank is
so obviously borrowed from the Re-
publicans rs to need no comment,
except an expression of qualification
that, even at this late day, the Ohio
Democrats are willing to avow their
conversion to primary Republican
| doctrine.
Another plank declares in favor of
''the preservation of the remnant of
the public lands for the benefit of
citizens of the United States and
foreign emigrants who have declared
their intention to become such, who
will occupy and cultivate the same"
This is also manifestly, rs everybody
knows, Republican plank altered by
the Democrats, and altered for the
worse. The old Republican, plank,
from which it is borrowed, declares
that the public lands should he re-
served for actual settlers, without
saving that actual settlers must be
citizens. The Democratic plank
would limit the homestead law to ac-
tnal citizens of the United States and
those foreign emigrants who have de-
clared their intentions to become clt-
izens. The Republicans welcome 10
settle upon our lands Immigrants
from the whole world, without re-
strictions or delays. The Democrat
10 platform of Ohio says to the imml-
grant. .Wait, and, perhaps, starve
while waiting, you can't have home
here until after you have declared
vonr intention to become a citizen
and voter No alien need apply"
Another plank declares against
any grants of public lands or of gov
ernment credit to railroads, steam
ship companies, or other companies.
This is also borrowed from the Re
publicans, and is sound doctrine.

Put Yourself In Her Place.

BY MRS. SARA wOLyERToN,
Pity her; that poor, frail woman,
All alone.
Raise not thy hand, Oh! friend, to
Cast the stone.
Think how worn, and weak, she was;
Yes, twas wrong;
But faults you know to dwellers
Here belong.
No crime, Oh! friend; her Judgment
Erred maybe;
But do goa always the better
Reasoning sees
Are there no calls, coercions,
That abide
With you, and keep so closely
At your side?
Or are you always strong, and
Full of heart,
Above life's ills secure to
Walk apart?
If so, thank God for it; for
What has been
TO come will bring its trials
Surely in.
And as you measure, so to
You shall mete.
Forgiveness, is compensation
Very sweet,
Would you at-random, venture
Now, to-day,
Your product, good, and i'll, with
Hers to weigh?
All! God hath vision perfect,
He can see
ThrO' slIrouds of circumstance, the
Purity.
So pity her, | say; don't
Join the cry
OF harsll-yOiced condemnation

FRAMING an Audience,


Some years ago, an eccentric genius,
the Rev. Thomas p. Hunt, used to
give temperance lectures. One night
he announced that he would lecture
in Easton. Now temperance was not
IN favor among the male portion OF
the burg. The women, however, were
all in for the 'pledge," and cOnse-
quently, on Hunts first night not a
man showed himself in the hall. The
benches were pretty well filled with
women, though, and Hunt com
menced; but, instead of temperance,
he put them through on the vanities
of dress, etc. They wore great
stuffed feather sleeves then. They
the sleeves-caught it, then their
tight lacing, and so on through the
catalogue of female fOllies; not a
word about temperance. And the
ladies' went home hopping mad, told
their husbands about it, and voted
old Hunt down to the lowest notch.
He had announced that he would
lecture at the same place next night.
Long before the time appointed they
commenced to come, and when Hunt
hobbled down the aisle the building
was comfortably well filled with men.
The old fellow looked about, chnckled,
and muttered: "Hogs, I've got you
nowr The audience stared. "Aha,
hogs, I've got you nowp'
After the crowd had got quiet lit
tic. the lecturer said:
"Friends, yon wanted to know what
/ meant by saying, "HOgs, I've got
You now," and I'll tell you. Out
West, the hogs run wild; and when
folks get out of meat they catch a
young pig, put a strap under his body,
and hitch him to young sapling that
will just swing him from the ground
nicely. OF course he squeals and
raises rumpus, then all the old hogs
gather round to see what's the mat
ter, and then they shoot them at their
leisure. Last night / hung pig up
l hurt it little and it squcaled. The
old hogs have turned out to see the
fun, and I'll roast you," and so he
did, pitching into their favorite vice
with a relish and gust.
