PIzENED.-An old fellow prowling
through the alley by the Moffat building
the other day, came upon a lot OF half
decayed oranges which had just been
thrown out. lie was sorting them over
when boy came along, and taking in
the situation in an instant lie shouted:
Them's put there TO pizcn dogs, mis-
ter. and If you bite in one Of 'em you're
a dead man
The old fellow moved off, and the
boy sat down and stuffed himself until
he was orange colored clear around be-
hind his ears.-Pha. Ledger.

and leaning over the rail she shouted

Now, then, work your legs, flap your
arms, hold your breath and repeat the

Samuel, whether you'll land in Vicks-

QUIZZING.-A Scotch minister. of some
humor, was one day walking through the
streets of Edinburgh dressed in his
rough country clothes, when a young la.
dy, the leader CT a group of fashionable
bellies, surveyed him through her quiz
Zing-glass rather more curiously than he
thought consistent with female delicacv.
Seeming to recognize her, he walked
briskly up to her, and Selling her hand
with the familiarity of an old acquaint-
ance accosted her with:
'My dear Maria. how YOU do how
left you your worthy father. and ven.
cradle mother, and when did you come
to town."
All this was expressed with the ener-
gy and rapidity Of surprised recogni.
ton Of an old and familiar friend and
with an air of equality little savoring
of superiority. The astonshed fair one
had not time to Withdraw her hand or 10
make reply until he paused rs if ont
of breath, and waited for her 10 return
his friendly greeting, looking her still
in the face. The fine young lady by this
time recovered from her confusion. and
hastily Withdrawing her hand said with
some alarm,
You are mistaken, sir"
What replied he, lis it possible,
my dear, that you do not know me-"
Indeed do not, sir"
Neither do I YOU" said the parson.
good morning, madam :" and making n
cercmonious bow, nc walked away.
She was perfectly cured Of quizzing

And it is by such defamation,
by teaching the poorer man to hate
the richer, by insinuating that
property IS theft, that a prosperous
man is public enemy, that a
nation which keeps faith with its
creditors is a moneyed aristocracy,
by suggesting to laborers out OF

they will murder and burn, that
the Democratic rag money party
carries on the Ohio campaign. It's
course is an insult to popular gov
eminent, and we have little doubt
that the people of Ohio will show
Allen and Cary, as they showed
Vallandigham during the war, that
they are not SO ignorant and selfish
and stupid as the Democratic
appeals and arguments imply.
The Democratic speeches may,
indeed, excite the worst passions OF
the worst classes, but those classes
have never yet shown themselves to
be the majority in Ohio.-Harper's

to get out of the country. A few
nights later the attempt was made.
Dodd was taken in a close carriage
and driven to the house of q noted
j Son of Liberty in this county,
where he remained twenty four
hours He was then passed on
from one Son of Liberty to another
until he reached Shelbyville, where,
properly disguised, he got on the
cars and made his way to Cincinnas
Il, afterward to Detroit and then to
Canada.
Dodds two little boys watched
their father p+ rilous descent from
his prison in the Postoffce till he
safely reached the ground, and
then carried the joyful news to the
anxious wife.
5 It has been often minated that
Gov. Morton connived at Dodds
escape-that he had less anxiety to
punish treason than to make polit
ical capital Such is not the case.
He knew nothing of his intention
to escape. It is probable that, hav-
ing escaped, the Governor easily
recOnciled himself to the situation,
and didn't take any extraordinary
measures to recapture him. A cit-
izen told His Excellency some days
after the escape that search of
DIR. Merrilrs premises would pos
sibly result in good, but he did not
take kindly to the suggestion. The
Governor did not desire to see
either Dodd, Mllligan, Bowles nor
Horsey actually hanged-at least
by military commission in q COM
munity where the courts were in
regular session. fact abundantly
proved by his final intercession at
the last moment, which saved the
necks of the famous three.-Indi-

Tunnel Under the Engl1Dh Channel.
The submarine tunnel Between
England and France, SO long q
matter of speculation and engineer
ing ambition, is now about to be
put to practical test The enter-
prise is one of the boldest ever at
tempted, and, il successful, will
certainly pave the way to series
Of submarine excavations which. to
future generations, may prove q
means of almost entirely doing
away with the dangers Of the sea.
The English Channel has ever been
regarded as one of the most gun
pleasant seas in the world the for
nation of tunnel beneath its bed,
and the removal of the necessity
for enduring its tossing and tumb-
ling waters, will certainly prove
boon the travelling public for which
they.eannot be suficientlythankful
The opening of such a communica,
ton between England and the con-
tinent CT Europe must also prove,
in commercial point Of view, a
pure gain to both sides, while the
5000 travellers now computed to
cross the channel every season
would doubtless be increased to
millions. A tunnel under twenty
miles of stormy sea was certainly
q bold dream, even for an age
which has bound the continents by
electricity. OF its possibility how
ever, there seems to be but little
reason to doubt. The bed of the
channel is composed of smooth.
unbroken formation of chalk, and
the depth is nowhere greater than
one hundred and eighty feet. The
success of the experiment depends
on the bed being continuous. If it
Is, as is claimed. a chalk bed some
hundreds of feet in thickness, the
driving Of a huge bore through it
is now q mere matter OF time,
money, and organizst ion.- Inter-

HAIR RESTORATIVE,
OR INIMITABLE HAIR COLORING,


Not a Dye-Heimstreet's Hair Coloring"
is not a Hair Dye, and its operation is
not by any chemical effect, but by nat
ural restoration of the glands, thaS Civ
ing the hair the color il originally had.
N0turalness-When hair is dyed, its color
is leaden hued and unnatural, but when
restored by HEIMSTREET'S HAIR
COi.ORING, its appearance is so per-
fectly natural that no one can detect
the use of any Restorative.
Stainless : While the restorative acts
promptly on the hair, it leaves no stain
or mark whatever on the skin. 1t is
composed of ingredients that form n
perfect dressing well as coloring, so
that no oils, etc., are necessary.
This most effective of all the Hair RestOr-
ers, is for sale by all Druggists, at 50 cents
and 81 per bottle. Numerous certificates
