Samson and the JaM.ROne

Sacramento Journal.
When l travelled IN 1871, IN Palestine
an old servant from the monastery OF
Raml,h, about fifty miles west from DER
usaIem. showed me the supposed place
where Samson killed 1000 Pnl!istlnc'
with the jaw-bone of an ass. When l
expressed my doubts as to the length and
strength . q jaw bone, considering the
great number Of surrounding enemies,
the god man explained the case IN the
following manner: We'll, he took hold
Of the ass by the tai and swung the AMI
NAL against the PhilisLines in such q
manner that only his mead, and OF The
especially the jaw-bone, struck the Phil
istines keeping Oh in this way the sur
rounding warriors and giving the blow
the necessary force to kilt. Iai1irm that
in this manner Sampson could have slain
u million rhiIs!lnes, provided the tail OF
the as did no. break"

The most interesting and amusing e1
hibltion of the season took place at the
Greene-county National bank on Tues
day of last week. The pair were newly
married, and were up from Arkansas on
their wedding trip. They sauntered into
the National, and seeing but one chair,
the adv took that, and her lord occupied
her lap. This caused the modest bank
officials to blush, and an additional Chair
was offered, which the happy couple re-
fused. By way of - change the lord
took the chair and the LADY his lap. he
then produced black bottle aud pro-
posed her health; but she refused To-
drink. He took long strong pull, and,
looking around and seeing hundred
gazing eyes and everybody laughing,
remarked that it was "darned strange {"
fellow couldn't hug his wife without at
tracing the attention OF the whole town
And with an air OF supreme contempt ne
took his lady and strobe of, much to the
disgust o! the patrons OF the show.
