ONLY AN ERUPTION,
From the Eureka Sentinel.

From the Eureka Sentinel.
An individual, whose clothes look
ed as though the sands Of life had
nearly run to seed, entered popular
main street saloon recently. He look
ed sad and careworn, and there was q
far-away look in his left eye-which
was the only eye visible, as his hat
was jammed closely down over his
organs of vision-and his hair and ap-
pearance were those of q man who
wished to avoid the gaze of the vulgar
herd. But he was sOciable, notwith.
standing appearances. Approaching
the bar, he remarked to the bar-keep-
er that he guessed he would take ga
nice whisky cocktail with little wine
into it." While the bar-keeper was
erecting the cocktail the strangers un-
covered eye fell on a group of gentle
men who were standing at the end of
the bar counter, discussing Tilden's
fidancial views as OPPOSED to Red
Frank Wheeler's method of running
quartz mills, and he observed: "Gen-
tlemen, hope don't interrupt; but
won't ye take somethin' ?" TiIden
and Wheeler were dropped instanta-
neously, and seven voices simultane-
ously exclaimed "Certainly I" and sev-
en- gentlemen ranged themselves in
front of the bar aud gave their orders.
The drinks were all mixed sn1 each
man stood at rest, with his hand on
his glass the bar-keeper said, ,"All set,
gentlemen" and one of the gentlemen
was just about to remark" Here's luck,
when the stranger observed, $50 they
have got case Of smallpox here at
last" NO." said the bar-keeper,
shave they, though ?" "Well." return
ed the stranger, 81 don't know wheth-
er it's a case of genuine smallpox or
not; you see this disease is hard to de-
termine in the first stages. Now q
doctor up to the upper end Of the town
expressed the opinion that I've got the
smallpox /; but don't believe it's any
thing more'n a varioloidal eruption, so
to speak, mild case of variola, az it
were." Then he showed up his hat
and displayed a fearfully blotched
forehead, and the bar-keeper jumped
over the bar and went up town to see
what time the 10 O'Clock train would
get in, and the seven gentlemen went
out Of the back door 10 look at the
stock quotations; and the stranger
gently lifted his cocktail to his lips
and drained the glass, and said he
guessed he would stampede too.

A PRACTICAL WITNESS.

In Cox's court there was a charge OF
assault against that old offender and
police favorite, John Dee," and Mr..
Dickson, the attorney, was examining
the witness.
Dickson-How hard did he shake
the man when he grabbed him?
Witness-I don't know. Pretty
hard.
Dickson-What do you call "pretty
hard"
Witness-Well,i it was pretty hard
that's all l can say.
Dickson-Come, now-you surely
have sense enough to let the court
know what you call "pretty hard"
Witness-I guess l can show the
court. 1t was like this.
Here the witness rose from his seat,
and, springing upon the astonished at
torney, grabbed him by the collar and
with . strong, impulsive jerk, landed
him on the Goor. Then he gathered
him up and Topped him across chair

floor, jam him up against the wall and
batter him round over the benches.
"Hold on-I understand" J" shouted
the lawyer.
"ThIs is how he fetched him." re-
torted the witness, giving him another
lift.
"Wont the court rule out his an
swer? OBJECT" said Mr.. Dickson !:
catching his breath.
"If you Withdraw the question, all
right" said the Judge; and springing
down from his seat he collared the
witness aud took him of. When he
again mounted the bench he remark
ed: aThe witness appears to have in
troduced his testimony. but l can rule
that the jury ignore his answer"
By this time the spectators were in
q convulsion of laughter, and the at
torney retired 10 brush his clothes.
The case was dismissed.

You have doubtless heard about the
ssBesom of destruction" Well. Mr..
Bosom, of Third Avenue, is not that
kind of . man. He wouldn't destroy
. grasshopper if he could walk around
or climb over the insect. His object
IL to slide through life without hurt
ing any ones feelings or stepping on
any ones toes. They got a new hired
g.rl at his house the other day. She
had pensive eyes, a very quiet way,
and seemed quietly religious. Bosom
said she was just the kind of girl he
liked to see about the kitchen, and he
flattered Mrs. Bosom tor her percep-
ton in reading human nature.
The first evening the new girl caught
Bosom in the pantry. He was on tip
toe, and had just reached down a bot
tie from the top shelf. He started to
put it back, hesitated, and finally said,
II wanted to warn you about this
bottle. 1t contains fluid known as
kronkikology. have to take sip
now and then for my liver, but it is
death to well person. Don't never
touch this bottle, Augusta-don't even
smell of the cork"
The girl soon discovered that it was
q bad case of liver complaint. At
least Mr.. Bosom entered the pantry
regularly three times per day, and af-
ter taking his "kronkikology" he al
ways uttered a hearty "Ah! ura!"
The family didn't hear the breakfast
bell yesterday morning at the usual
time, and after waiting a while Mrs.
Bosom entered the kitchen to see what
had occurred to delay the meal. She
found the pensivc hired girl lying on
the floor, no fire i'm the stove, and no
meal under way.
"Krow-kronki-k NUT
tered the girl.
"The girl has q fit-the hire1 girl
is dyingp exclaimed Mrs. BesOm as
she rushed through the house.
Bosom ran back to the kitchen with
her, and as he shifted the air of that
room and looked down upon the PEN
sive girl, he called out
"She's been drinking gln!'
"Youze Iiar!" shouted the girl, Be-
curing hold on the stove leg to help
her to her feet,
"Get right out of here, you great
big hired girl drunkard!" called Mrs.
Bosom.

added Bosom.

"Howz liver complainz, Mizzer Be-
som?"
"Put her out!"
"Puz who ouz? All rize-I1l go

She got hold of Mr.. Besom's shirt
collar and Mrs. Besom's hair. and the
carpenters at work on new house in
the next lot heard so mut direful
noise that they felt called upon to go
over to Bezom's. They found the
three in a corner, engaged in an ear
nest contest and it took some time to
tell which was who. The pensive
hired girl was carried outside the gate
more sober than when the unpleasant
ness began, and as the crowd stood on
the doorsteps and shook their fists at
her and threatened her, she held fast to
q shade tree and called back

1t has been so long since l have

doubt regret that they allowed them
selves to be made use Of by their
political enemies for the prospect of

profit by the example Of the Alabama
Independents, and if any of them are
likely to be led into disaffection by a
desire for Office, let them abandon the
idea at once.
Tilden and Hendricks will carry
this State by an overwhelming major

the $4,000 majority Of the State cleo
