The Legislative J8sters-A Good Story

The Legislative Jesters-A Good Story
t''0D the LcJaaon Courier.
What a joking set Of fellows there must
be in our legislature When it Is proved
upon any Of them that they offered or ac-
cepted bribes on the boom question, thcy
don't deny it, but declare it was only 4 Joke.
They remind Us Of a story we once heard
well told by Governor Curtin. After the
war broke out he was on the train from
Baltimore to Harrisburg. On the same
train was a blatant yet cowardly Copper
head, who was not aware Of the Governor :
presence. He was very abusive of Union
men, and talked loudly about how the
Southerncrs would whip them Some one
whispered to him that Governor Curtin
was sitting a short distance from him. This
information seemed to fill him with ap
Prehension. For a short time he was quiet
and thoughtful; then approaching the
Governor, he said Governor, you heard
me joking about the Union men well,
can't help joking; why, I'm the ID
jo,iuist son of a dog you ever saw" And
then, Ike the Harrisburg legislators, he
felt that be was vindicatcd.

DR.. ]. H. SIDDAL-Dr. Siddal, of our city, whose
office has been for maliy years in Harter's Block,
is Dental Surgeon of skill and large experience,
as many can testify, ana as is well known to the
profession. For years the senior of this paper had
mouthtul of teeth in bad shape, and in many
respects worse than useless. Resolving on a
change he consulted DR.. Siddal, who said the old
friends were troublesome and should be removed
and in due time could be replaced by artificial
which would, after while, become highly ser.
vieeable and promote health. Accordingly lest
Friday the patient at one sitting, and without the
use of anesthetics, had extracted dozen and a
half of single and double teeth, in so brief time
that one could scarcely conceive 1t possible When
such things are to be done, it's well to have them
done quickly and, at the same time, judiciously,
and with skillful care. In this case, Doctor Sid
dal was nminenty successful, and the patient is
all right, saving the awkwardness incident to the
deprivation of every tooth in his head. One
realizes the utility Of the teeth in speaking and
eating when deprived of them. The progress of
late years IS as well marked in the utiliLarian
science and art of Dentistry in almost any other
branch affecting human Improvement, especially
in health and happiness. 1t is proper to say Doc
tor Sddal is up with the tin es in his useful pro-
fession.

CROOKED WHBKY.-On last Saturday Officer
Williams came upon big countryman who was
timber drunk and as stubborn as mule, though
when sober he is generally quiet enough Frank
concluded to arrest him, and went at it with all
the confidence natural in the breast of a police
officer in the discharge of his duty. He stepped
up tapped the man on the shoulder and said.
Come along with me, my fellow | think you
need attention."
"Denzhen! Whooz denzion? Watts medder
wiz you-me-you2 Whooz denzhen?'
"Come along Iarrest you and you'd better
come quietly"

Never mind, but come along quietly orit will
be the worse for you"
"VerSe nit me? nod (hic) mid sich lee (hic)
eedle schnips like you, 1 dOn'd go nit"
Then Frank went to force the arrest, and the
fellow resisted. There was lively time for spec
tators, sore time for the cOunryman, and very
perplexing time for the policeman, who, after get
ting his blue suit besmeared with mud, dumped
his subject into big wagon belonging to some
farmer, and droveto the lookup, where the coun-
tryman was secured till evening, when he was
somewhat sobered up and released on bail

AN absent-minded young man, who sleeps at a
house in the Second ward, and takes his meals
down town, got up last Sunday morning, and be-
ing only half awake, his mind was naturally dull
and confused. He proceeded to dress himself
carelessly, and when he thought his toilet COM
plete, he started Off He went down stairs, opened
the front door, and was about to start Off for his
breakfast, when he became impressed with the
fact that his lower extremities were chilly Upon
looking into the case, he found he had put on his
shoes, collar, tie, vest, coat hat overcoat and in
fact all ordinary articles of clothing but his pans
and as the thought struck him, and people were

door, rushed back to his room, and jumped into

a young woman called on Justice of the Peace
up town. She was ia trouble she said She had
had beau, who was Catholic, while she was
not. This young man had been very prompt and
regular in his attentions until aOout week ago,
since which time she had not seen him or heard a
word from him. And she continued:
Do you think they'd dare to do it? Would the
Catholics kidnap him and hide him in dark
dungeonP And when she was informed that such
q thing was an utter imprObability she left, but
still insisted that her young man had been kid
mapped and imprisoned, II this happens to catch
the young mans eye, he eshould write or call round
and settle her mind on the question Immediately.
