DR.. Smiths Patient.

A paper on "Bowdoin College" In
Scribner tor May contains the following
anecdote of DR.. Nathan Smith:
DR.. Smiths name is especially eminent
in the profession, and gave to the school
at the outset prominence which it has
never lost. An incident shows Of wha1
stuff DR.. Smith was made. When be
began his career as q Ne dical Professor
cat Dartmouth). certain individuals
planned a practical joke which it was ex-
pected would entirely demoraize the
Young instructor. A messenger sum
moned him to set broken limb, but on
reaching the house the Doctor found that
the patient was a goose, whose leg had
been broken by some sharp-shooting
ga,atn. The "friends" OF the patient
looked to see the Doctor beat . hasty ro-
treat; but he gravely examined the trac-
,ure. opened his case, set and boun d the
limb. promised to call the next day, AMI
bade them good evening. The Doctor
duly appeared in the morning and lor
several succeeding days, till be pro
nounced the "patient" in fair way ol
recovery. At his last visit, DIR. Smith
produced q bill OF considerable dimen-
sions, and the family" found that their
little Joke had cost them dearly, The
level headed professor escaped further
intrusons.

New York.
Thus the astounding discovery has been

instruments in New York, New Orleans,

who. in a peculiar uniform, " goes about
the streets OF Boston, picking up boots

says that almost twenty years ago, when
be was out OF money and out OF work. he
dreamed one night that he "was 70 get

tising was TO be was by whistling. and
the tune was to be Yankee Doodle SO
I started out in my uniform. the same as
I've 90, now, and begun TO whistle, and
people would look ou, OF the window
and laugh, and ask who | was, and some
would ask what ! whistled for. And
ALWAYS answered, amy boots to mendY
Well, then they would give ME some
boots, and | would carry them away and

ed, where at store they would have TO
wait two or three days. So got good

pile entirely by shoemaking but has
dabbled shrewdly and successfully in
real estate. He is also government
bondholder to some extent He has en-
loved a source of revenue from his eccen-
tricity in other ways besides as an adver-
lisement for his shoes, for 1t has been
fashionable for some time to present
counterfeit impersonations of him at Sun
day school and other entertainments, and
on these he has always managed to net
snug profit. He mas just completed an
elegant little home on Dudley street at n
cost OF $50 900, yet bis CHEEKY whistle

A recent election in South Carolina elicted th'
following campaign hymn headed by a picture
white man in the act Of heating

A negro to maintain,
A never dying thirst for power
To bind him with chain.
To serve the present age,
Our pockets we must III;
Wen make them work for wage low
And never pay the bill.
Arm me with jealous care,
To make him know his place,
And oh Thy servant, Lord, prepare
To rule the negro race.

Assured il they don't vote ior rs,
