The Connecticut Mutual Life.

The thirty-frst annual statement Of this stand
ard Life Insurance Co. is given elsewhere, and
shows highly favorable condition. The gross
assets at the beginning oil this year were over
SAC 900 900, and the surplus over all labilitict'
over $4,000, 900.
Notwithstanding the calamities which during
the year have threatened land often overwhelmingly
our financial institutions, this company has pur-
sued its course quietly and surely, adding to its
assets nearly SO. 600, 0O0 and honoring claims to
the amount of over two and half million dol
lars
We think the numerous policy-holders on the
Kennebec have reason to feel well satisfied with
this showing. NJ. w. Fsrr Esq., is the daily au-
thorized agent of the Company for Augusta and
vicinity. through whose agency it has paid nearly
$4,000 TO the families of deceased members dur.
ing the past Is years.

Tae Pail Mall Gazette does not believe the sig
nature of the projected protocol will give and Sc
curity of peace. Already forces are at work in
Bosnia to prepare another series of outrages,
which might precipitate the very war the protocol
was intended 10 prevent. Dread had been ex-
pressed if Russia is allowed to commence war
with Turkey, this may afford Germany an oppor-
tnnity of making an attack upon France, which it
is commonly supposes she was restrained from
making two years ago, but if Germany helps Rus
STA TO recall her troops with honor and profit il
may be tn is year she will find herself under NO
such restraint. The outlook in that direction
seems to be darkening daily.
Gladstone's Opinion.
LONDON. March ID. Gladstone has published a
pamphlet in which he shows that the conduct OF
the Porte towards the authors of the Bulgarian
outrages, is distinct encouragement to a repeti-
lion of the horrors. The guilt of the Turkish
government is fully proved. United Europe
should a. least impose such restraints the Turk
ish administration as all Europe has declared in
indispensable. The proposal to grant Turkey a
year of grace, simply means another year of de-
basement and misery for Turkish subjects
Mr.. Gladstone concludes as follows 81 ask
England to redeem the pledges given by the Cri-
mean war to The SUBJECTS Of Turkey

The European Plan.

Yesterday evening stranger, clad in
duster and carrying earpet-sack, en-
tered hotel on Delaware avenue. He
marched straight up to the counter,
where the amiable landlord stood pick
ing his teeth, and the moment he set
his bag down the amiable landlord
whisked it off and set it down with the
pile of other baggage in the rear of the
bar.
"Please register your name," said
the landlord, passing him pen.
" How much is it, mister ?"
I" That depends on what you get. We
keep hotel here on the European
PLAN"
" / say mister" said the countryman,
all in a tremble, "please give me that
bag, and viii get right out and not say
a word.''
The landlord gazed at him, but made
no movement toward the bag.

TILE TIMES, NEW B1ooMFIE1D PA, OCTOBER 8, 1877

I am poisoned the druggist made
mistake"
The boys now dropped in, and were
quickly Informed Of the fatal mistake
They tested the medicine, and with omi-
nous shakes Of their head informed him
IL was arsenic. They told him to lie
down, as he was a "goner,'' and sug-
gested If he had any word to leave, now
was his time.
He commenced to pray, and Riley
asked him If he desired to send any
word out West.
No, he never was West, never had
been out of New York itwas all lie
Would some one go for doctor ?"
Accordingly, a doctor who lives near
by, and whose horses are left in the
stable, was sent for and came around.-
He made him eat a number of raw eggs,
and walk around the stable till he was
almost ready to drop with fatigue and
fright. The doctor then asked him to
show him the arsenic Peter brought IL
out, and the doctor pronounced it cream
of tartar, and showed him one label
pasted over the other
To say that Peter was mad poorly ex-
presses his demoniac frenzy. He stamped
and raved, and swore he would not
work another day in the same place with
such lot of scamps. The boys kept
shady for while, fearing fresh out
break of Peters rage. No one dare fool
with the old man since then, and he
tells no more yarns.

How the Boys Fixed Him.

MOT FAR from Lafayette Place, in
IN New York City,is livery stable,in
which is employed an eccentric Irish
man named Peter Hoolan. He is some
thing of blower, and pretends that he
fought nearly every battle of the recent
war. One of his chief delights is to tell
about his adventures out West with John
G. Fremont, the pathfinder. According
to his assertions, Peter has killed more
bears, catamounts, and wild animals
than whole brigade of trappers could
kill The boys pretended to " take in''
his yarns, but wanted him to cease
telling them.
Not long since the chance offered -
Peter was suffering with boils, and some
one told him that cream of tartar was
remedy. He bought a package and took
a dose, and left his package on window
sill. In few minutes label with the
word " arsenic'' on it was transferred to
Peters package. His employer coming
in, and noticing the medicine, told him
it was dangerous to leave poison lying
around in that manner. Peter said it
was cream of tartar. His employer con-
tradicted him, and said Peter could not
read. Peter took up the package and
there staring him in the face, was the
death-suggesting word "arsenic."
He turned pale and said

" Please mister, give me my bag
There's nothing In IL but few shirts,
Indeed there isn't. Here's the key. I'll
let you search it," continued the stran-
ger, trembling still more violently.
The landlord passed him the bag, and
as the stranger instantly shot for the
door the former exclaimed.
"Well, blame me If amt puzzled
to know what kind of fool you are.''
But the stranger paused to hear no
compliments, and he was good half
mile away before he took the courage to
lean against an awning-post and NUT
ter:
Gracious What an escaped Keeps
a house on the rope In plan, does he p
suppose he wanted to rope me in and
perhaps kill me. Lord, what wicked
places these cities are. I'll go home i'm
mediately."
And he kept his word.

B9T Never was a better answer made
than poor Irishman made to catholic
priest while defending himself for read
ing the Bible.
I" But" said the priest, 'the Bible is
for the priests, and not for the likes o.
you"
"Ah but, sir,' he answered, I" 1 was
reading in my Bible, You shall read it
to your children an sure the priests
have got no children"
But, Michael y says the priest, ''you
cannot understand the Bible. It's not
o. you to understand it, my man.
All very well, your riverence, if
cannot understand it, it will do me no
harm, and what can understand does
me a heap o. good"
Very well, Mike" said the priest
"you must go to church and the church
will give you the milk of the word
And where does the church get it
from but out of the Biblep Ahl your
reverence, would rather keep the COW
myself"

Wedding Anecdotes.

A YOUNG Clergyman at the first
n wedding he ever had, thought it
was very good time to impress upon
the couple before him the solemnity of
the act. t.as
Il hope, Dennis" he said to the
coachman, with his license in his hand,
"you have well considered this solemn
step in life p''
81 hope so, your riverence," answer
ed Dennis.
=" It's very important step you are
taking, Mary" said the minister.
" Yes ,sir-I know it is, replied Mary,
whimpering. Perhaps we had better
wait awhile
Perhaps we had, your riverence,"
chimed in Dennis. ,r4..
The minister, hardly expecting such
a personal application of his exhorta
tion, and seeing the fees vanishing be-
fore his eyes, betook himself to a more
cheerful aspect of the situation, and
said:
Z" Yes, of course, it's solemn and i'm
portant, you know; but it's very hap
py time, latter all when people love each
other. Shall we go on with the SER
vice 2"
" Yis, your riverence,'' they both re-
piled.
And they were soon made one in the
bonds of matrimony, and that young
minister Is now very careful how he
brings on the solemn view of matrimony
to timid couples.
A clergyman was called on upon one
occasion to officiate at colored we'd
ding.
(" We assure you, sab, ''said the gentle
manly darkey, that thisyere wedding
is to be very opropos = quite q y mode,
sah."
"Very well" replied the clergyman,
l will try to do everything in my
power to crafty the wishes of the
parties.
So, after the dinner and dancing and
supping were over the groom's best
man called again on the minister, and
left him the usual fee
81 hope everything was as your
friends desired it, said the urbane cler-
gyman.
" Well, sab, to tell the truth, Mr..
Johnson was little disappointed"
answered the groomsman.
" Why, I took my robes" said the
minister.
" Yes, sah-it wasn't that"
{" 1 adhered to the rubrics of the
church."
=" Yes, sir--that was all right"
" 1 was punctual and shook hands
with the couple. What more could 1
do ?"
Well, sab, Mr.. Johnson he kind o.
felt hurt, you see, because you didn't
salute the bride"

81 Lovers of new mackereI have
noticed that the flesh of some of the
fish is white and of peculiarly fine flavor,
while that of others has a yellowish
tinge, and is decidedly inferior to the
white in point of quality. An old dealer
in salt fish in this city explains this
difference in appearance and taste in
this way:
There are two methods of catching
mackerel - the hook and the seine.
When the fish are taken with the hook
they are Immediately cleaned and pre-
pared for sailing away, but when the
seine is used and large catches are made,
this cleaning is necessarily delayed with
a portion of them. The fish caught in the
seine are thrown into large piles, where
they frequently remain for more than a
day before it is possible to cleap them for
packing, and it is this delay after they
are taken from the water that causes
the yellowish tinge in the flesh and i'm
pairs its quality PhtIadelDhia Eveni,ag

A Curious Use for the Magnet.

magnet is mentioned in the adelaide
Register of June 14th. A young lady
sat down on settee on which needle
had been carelessly left. 1t pierced her
thigh and totally disappeared in the
flesh. Medical men said it could only
be reached by large incision, and con-
cluded te leave it for time in the hope
that it might work itself out. The
pain, however, became so severe that
the young lady was confined to her bed.
So magnet was suggested and power
full one being procured and applied, in
four hours the needle reached the sur
face, raised and protruded itself through
the skin, and was instantly extracted
