The Two Ducks of rlyria.

WAS in Elyra a few Sundays ago, and while
sitting in his room heard from the next
room, the mysterious question and answer:
Whose duckey are YOU
Use your duckey."
\ few moments passed, during which the
drummer sat in open. mouthed wonder, and
the silence was again broken:
Whose duckey are YOU"
Use ySur duckey"
Unable 10 stand il much longer alone the
Cleyelander hurried down to the Office, learn
ed that newly married couple were in the
house, invited three other drummers to hear
the fun, and tiptoed back to his room. The
wicked ouartette crammed their handker-
chiefs in their mouths, and during the next
quarter of an hour heard that cOnundrum put
and answered no less than four times by the
unconscious rustic and his blushing bride.
At dinner, as luck would have it, the bride
and groom were seated between two of the
drummers, while the original discOverer of
the bonanza sat opposite. The table had
been cleared of the substantIals and orders
for desert had been given. At that moment
a spirlt OF mischief took entire possession OF
the Clevelander. Leaning across the table he
looked archly at his nearest friend, and in
dulcet tones propounded the cOnundrum:
Whose duCkey are yOus'

Two scarlet rustic faces, the tutter OF a

i Centennial Coincidence.

The winter of 1776-one hundred years
aqo-was almost as remarkable as the
present one has been for its mildness.
All the barbors ON the Atlantic coast
were generally free from ice; some of
the rivers were so far open as to per-
NIT communication between the differ
ent American camps. 1t is said that
General Washington had formed plan
for the surprise Of the British forces in
Boston, and was prevented from carrying
tout by the absence of the ice in the
harbor, which he had unconsciously as
sumed as material part of his calcula-
tions. In regard to the present mild
winter, curious statement, which we
believe will be borne out on examina-
ton, is, that the sailors and the weather.
wise people generally predicted that the
season would be unusually mild. Before
the close ofnayigation the marine reporter
of the Tribune ne corded some prediction
of this kind. Itwas said then that the
muskrats and beavers had made their
winter arrangements ON an extremely
modest scale. Scientific people might
find it worth their while to institute
some inquiries on this score before the
opportunity is past.-Chicago Tribune.

Practical Jokes on Medical students.

Colored people are, as a rule, very su-
perstitious and constantly filed with q
dread of !" spooks, and other supernatu-
raj and mysterious things knowing
this, medical students seem to delight in
playing pranks upon the unsuspecting
of the race. One of these practical jokes,
which nearly resulted in the death Of the
victim, was perpetrated ut well known
medical school few days since. A stu
dent was going along one of the streets
in the western part Of the city when he
met with young negro man, whom he
accosted, and offered to engage to carry
a box for him. The negro readily ac-
cepted the profered employment and
followed the .student to the college. At
the entrance of the building the medical
sprig informed the colored man that the
box was up stairs, and the man not sus-
pecting the character of the institution,
followed him to the third floor, where the
dissecting room is situated. The stu
dents purpose was to frighten the man,
BY suddenly exposing to his view the
chastity array uf corpses, and then enjoy
the CONSERVATION liable to result. When
he opened the door, and the negro caught
sight of the mutilated and disfgured
astiffs,n tableau ensued. The colored
man imagined that he had been enticed
into the room for dissection, and the
thought of his coming to such a shape
less mass Of inanimate flesh as he sau
around him was too much for his nerves
and be gave way to series of violent and
spasmodic commissions. This alarmed
the janitor and the few students who
were present, and they at once hustled
him down stairs and out on the pave
ment, where he soon revived. to some
extent. He was subsequently taken tc
the house of a colored man in the neigh
borhood until able to go about, which
was several hours thereafter. This il
not the first time colored people have
been frightened in a dissecting room, !
student, from whom the above infor
nation was glenaed, may be believed
and the practical jokers may some da.
get picked up. ."-,& Louis Globe Demo

In our advanced times, when ]. WASH
ington Tubbs and P. Walsingham Nc

ing to look back on the style of names
which were popular at more unculti-

No. Hewitt, Make Peace Heaton, God
Reward Smart, Standfast On High
Stringer, Kill Sin Primple, Return Spell
man, Fly Debate Roberts sensible many

an English jury, and other people had
names equally remarkable. 1t must
have been little rough on Mr. Roberts
to do jury duty, but Mr.. Hewitt probably
managed to pull through. One of the
most extensively named men of that
time was, however, Mr.. If Christ Had

it in the middle nor reduced it to /. G.

6 Bloody Jack'sv Last Bear Fight.

Correspondence of the Nebraska Press:
Bloody Jack James Henderson,,
who formerly lived at Table Greek, north
of your city, met with sad accident
yesterday. While out hunting, he came
in contact with a grizzly bear. At first
be tried to avoid the beast, but the ami
NAL was suffering with hunger, and Jack
saw 1t was impossible to get retreat.
Jack stood his ground, and the bear ran
with rapidity and with jaws outstretcSed
ready to take Jack in. Jack let two
charges out of his repeating rifle into
him, at distance of forty feet, but it
only enraged the animal and on he came.
Jack drew his toothpick, a six in hand,
and was ready for action. The bear
gathered him in his claws, and began his
savage work, and Jack kept his arm loose,
and using his knife plunged it into the
bear thirty-seyen times, and all this time
the animal had bis claws settled into poor
Jacks A .sh, and with the loss Of blood on
Jacks side, he became faint; the bear
withdrew his claws, and with them took
out bunch of flesh from Jacks side,
leaving his ribs exposed. just at this
time an old mountaineer was close upon
the scene, and began to let the lead into
old bruin. There we're twelve bullets put
in and through him, and he fell lifeless
to the ground. Jack was lashed to a
pony and carried to hiscamp. The bear
weighed FIVE hundred and seycnty-eight
pounds. Two days afterward James
Henderson, alias Bloody Jack, breathed
his last and was buried on old Red Bill
