An Awrul Disappointment.

An old fellow, living in the country,
called at the office of the gas company,
in Chicago, the other day, having
two-quart pail in his hand, and asked t:
SIS this where they sell gas ?" Eyes,
sir, we can furnish you with gas" re-
piled the clerk. "Well," said the old
man, as he pulled the cover off his
pail, 'Pve heerd good deal about gas,
and I'll take two quarts along and try
it. How much is it quartz" When
he was informed that gas was a vapOr,
and the method of burning it was ex :
planned, he sighed and said: Hannah
will be awfully disappointed"

A Dacotah man, says Western ex-
change, got mad at the editor and
stopped his paper. That week he sold
all his corn at four cents less than the
market price; then his place was sold
to pay taxes he did not know were
due; he lost the nomination for super
visor because he only heard of the con-
vention three days after it had adj
journed; he was arrested and fined
eight dollars for going hunting on Sun
day, and he paid three hundred dollars
for a lot of forged notes that had been
advertised and the public cautioned
not to negotiate them, for two weeks.
Then he paid a great big Irishman
with leg like a derrick to kick him
all the way to printing Office, three
dollars, where he paid four years sub
scription in advance, and made the
editor sign and swear to a written
agreement 70 knock him down and
rob him if he ever ordered his paper
stopped again.

Breath of ViOIefs,
BY MISS LAURA c. FORD.

Upon the air ] noted
A perfume faint and sweet,
A fragrant breath that floated
From violets at my feet
The faintest perfume only,
Floating through the evening lonely.
They wove q spell around me,
Invoked with breathings sweet,
With memory's chain they bound me
Those violets at my feet;
They woke with magic power,
A long, long buried hour,
Why did We, cruel flowers,
Wakeu with your perfume sweet,
Those dead and buried hours,
Whose passing was so fleet2
Why with their flashing pinions,
Disturb my souls dominions2
q violetsl We have darkened
All the present with your breath,
Because my soul has hearkened
Unto wings We stirred from death,
Quickened by your perfume only,
Floating through the evening lonely.

How 1t Feels to swallow a Mouse,

The CohQes On. Y. } Eagle tells of
curious accident happening to son
of Jas. O'Helan, residing on Saratoga
street. 1t seems that Willie, the
youngest child, a bright boy of twelve
or thirteen years of age, laid down in
a corner of the kitchen, Monday night,
and being tired out from play, was
soon fast asleep. The father was
reading at a table placed in the center
of the room, the rest of the family
were all in bed, and consequently the
house was perfectly still. Suddenly,
a startling cry came from the child
which aroused the father, who made a
rush for the child and asked him what
was the matter. The boy clasped his
father in his arms, and with startling
eyes, exclaimed, Father, Father, |
have swallowed a mouse, and | feel
him biting me inside In an instant
the father had the house aroused, and
a messenger was sent for the doctor,
who soon arrived, and administered
an emetic which had the desired effect,
and the boy, after some terrible retch>
ing threw up the mouse, and strange
to relate, the creature was alive and
active, and made his escape to a hole
in the floor. 1t seems that while the
child slept he had his mouth open, and
the mouse being a small one, got
frightened by muscular motion ofthe
child, jumped into his mouth and
down his throat, but how he remained
alive in the boys stomach is mystery.

The First of the season.

Last evening the Democrats held a ratifca-
ton meeting and celebrated the coalescence of
hard money and soft. A handsome banner
was run out from the headquarters at Army
and Navy Hall, and crowd of embryo you.
ayes did the cheering. AT the sound of a tor
pedo the flag was run out Soon after there
was gathering in the hall, chiefly remarkable
for the immaturity Of those composing it. j.
s. Palmer called the meeting to order, named
s. G. Andrews as chairman, and then hastily
withdrew. Mr.. Andrews accepted the position
in his usual dffident manner, said the Democ-
racy had found an oasis which was haven and
introduced Hon. N. s. Littlefield to the audi
ence AS Mr. Littlefeld tramped through the
sawdust which covered the floor the band, with
unconscious sarcasm, played several war airs.
He looked little astonished at finding no
hoop to leap through, and contented himself
with making feeble joke on the convention at
"Cincinnaytye" and few incorrect quotations
from "scriptur." Mr.. Lit.lefeld was succeeded
by M. P. Frank, who made an old-fashoned
Democratic speech. To him succeeded Col.
Bradbury. The Colonel remarked that the 18th
of june, the date of Tildeh's nomination, would
hereafter be regarded by Americans with as
much veneration as the Fourth of July. j. T.
Emery then made characteristic speech, and
was followed by W. G. Chadbourne Mr..
Chadbourne went into the air over Uncle Sam
and "the glorious auspices before u.s." He is
one of those speakers who can be easily heard
when the hall is small and the auditor near
the platform. At the conclusion of his

DIR. SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. I hey are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution Other rene
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptiye pa
tients it must do great injury for its tendency is
confne the morbid matter to the system, which, of
course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain parti
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs which act ON the lungs, liver stomach,
and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from tine body
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cines which operate in this way it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
tion Each bottle of this Invaluable medicine is ac-
companied by full directions. DR.. Schenek is pro
fessionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia every Monday where all
letters for advice must be addressed.
