He Went Fishing,

Several of the Clevelanders who
went to Kelly's Island, by the way
of Sandusky, last week, after black
bass, reached home night before
last. One Of them, Brown, rushed
into his house, and, in his Joy at
meeting Mrs. Brown, and all the
little Brownses, attempted to clutch
them all to his bosom in one wild
embrace.
$50 awayl" yelled Mrs. Brown.
"But, my dear"
81 amt your dear! / never
saw you. My Leonidas never had
that ugly red all over his face, and
never smelt like beer-garden po-
lice "
The baby began to yell, the
Oldest girl started into the back
yard after the dog, and the hired
girl tainted dead away in the pan
try.
II am Brown /; l swear it! Lis
ten, Mary Ann. Your upper
teeth are false your switch cost
two dollars and half; you demol-
ish cloves for the benefit of your
breath; you keep a bottle of bran
dy in your wash-stand. Hear me
for my cause. What stranger
could have learned this ? What
man Z"
"Me love me love IT'S thee I!
'Tis thee y And she collapsed in
to his arms, and thus prevented
the gathering neighbors from learn
ing any further particulars about
the internal economy of the house
of Brown.
"And now," says Brown, ~ am
fully determined to brain the first
man who says black bass and es-
pecially when the sun is hot
enough to turn one into q Hotten-
tot or a Fiji Islander in twenty
four hours"

Chased by a Train ON Fire.

"I've been down the bank more'n
once, an had few bad smash-ups
in the 20 years I've run locomo-
tive, but the closest call / ever had
was the time / was chased from
Mavville to Brocton junction, by
an oil train afire. | KIN almost
feel my hair turn white now when
| think of that"
He was one Of the oldest en-
gineers on the Lake Shore road,
and was riding me on his engine
from Brocton to Dunkirk.
81 was on the Buffalo, Cory &
Erie road then. 1t was in 1860
August the seventeenth. The bit
O track 'twixt Mayville and Broc-
ton is about the crookedest an
steepest stretch there is in the
country. It's ten miles from one
place to t'other, but the twist in
the road makes it fourteen. The
grades bout eighty foot t. tn mile.
The roads so crooked that it's a
standin' joke 'mong tn boys that
they dasn't put more'n ten cars in
a train or the engine II butt the
caboose certain. The road runs
into the Pennsylvania oil country,
an heaps O petroleum is run over
it. That night, bout nine o'clock,
/ was gettin' ready t leave TIL sum-
nit with box car, six oil cars, an
two passengers cars. Tn latter
was full. TIL box car had two
valuable trottin' horses in it. Igot
the signal from tn conductor to go
ahead and started her up. We
was under tol'ble headway when j
see the flames burst out'n one o.
the oil cars, whistled down brakes.
The passenger car was cut loose,
an brakes put on. We cut the
engine and box car off from the
burnin' cars, an thinlxin' the brakes
man'd stop them l pulled on
slowly down the hill. But pretty
soon | see we was in a fix. The
oil cars wasn't stopped, an they
came q ,tearin' down the grade
after us, an fore | could give my
engine speed, 'nough to git out o
the way, HEIRLOOM, they come 'ginst
the box car, smashin' in one end
an knockin' tn horses an their
keepers fiat on the floor. Its a
mighty wonder tn shock didn't
knock tn engine off tn track, an
it did give her N awful husslin'.
But she settled down at her work
as IL she know'd we was bound
to have q race for life.
"Ohl how the flames did roar.
Every informal car was afre, now,

There were two Of them hanging
over the front gate the other night.
She was standing within the yard
and he on the sidewalk outside,
both leaning on the top rail, and
apparently as happy as two pigs in
corn-feld. He was saying, "Now,
my little darling, sweet idol of my
soul, whose image is ever on my
heart"-when he saw the old man
coming down the front walk and
continued in a different strain
"The potato bugs haven't destroyed
our crops so much since we pur-
chased Paris Green, and You will
find also that cabbages can be
raised better on a rich soil" The
old gentleman heard it, and turned
back, saying, as he entered the
house, "These young people take
more interest in agricultural af-
fairs than people generally sup
pose."

He Changed His Mind.

Apropos to the power Of the
press, the late John Forsyth, of
Alabama, was accustomed to illus
trate the advantage of advertising,
and told the following story with
much gusto. He made a wager
with a merchant who denied that
advertising was benefit to the
advertiser. In the event of proof
to the contrary, the merchant was
to pay for such an advertisement
as Forsyth should dictate, and an
oyster supper to boot. Of course,
Forsyth should do the same if he
lost. The editor said to the mer-
chant:
"Write-'Wanted to purchase
dog" The number of the resi-
6ence and the name of the street
was given, and in the wager it was
stipulated that the want should be
put in nonpareil and in an obscure
corner of Forsyth's paper. Next
day the merchant called at the of
fee of the Register looking ex-
tremely annoyed. His house was
besieged with men having dogs to
sell. The dogs were brought to
his door, and his family were so
annoyed that a policeman had to
be called to drive away the pests.
Said the merchant, 81 will not
only pay for the dog advertisement,
but put in one which l wish to dis
play, because | am convinced that
the public reads, and that my busi-
ness can be best increased through
the agency of type. Come along
and get the oyster supper, Colonel,
you have fairly won the bet "

A Wonderful Cure.

and her great pride was being an
invalid. She lost no opportunity
in stating that she came to Mime
sofa to recuperate. She did not
hesitate to enter into a conversa-
tion with any person she came in
contact with, giving advice, eli
matological, to invalids, and seek
ing the same from those of robust
constitution. Her conversation
was always prefaced with the intro
ductory inquiry, so common to
visitors "Did you come here for
your health 7" She thus addressed
stalwart, ruddy visaged young
man at the dinner table of the
Metropolitan few days since, and
the following conversation ensued
"Yes, madam, | came here prob
ably the weakest person you ever
saw. / had no use of my limbs !;
in fact, my bones were bat little
tougher than carriages. l had no
intelligent control of single
muscle, nor the use of a single fac
ulty"
"Great heavens" exclaimed the
astonished auditor, "and you livedl"
81 did, Miss, although / was de-
void of sight, and absolutely tooth
less, unable to articulate a single
word, and dependent upon others
for everything, being completely
deprived of all power to help my
self. l commenced to gain imme-
diately upon my arrival, and have
scarcely experienced a sick day
since, hence / can conscientiously
recommend the climate"
"a wonderful case !" said the
lady, "but do you think your lungs
were affected ."
"They were probably sound, but
possessed of so little vitality that
but for the most careful nursing
they must have ceased their func-
tions."
81 hope you found kind friends,
sir p
Indeed l did, madam; it is to
them and the pure air of Mime
sofa that 1 owe my life. Ny fa-
theirs family were with me, but un-
fortunately my mother was pros
trated with severe illness during
the time of my greatest prostra-
tion."
SLOW sad Pray, what was
your diet and treatment 2"
"My diet was the simplest posi-
BILE, consisting only of milk, that
being the only food my system
would bear. AS for treatment, /
depended entirely upon the life
giving properties of Minnesota air,
and took no medicine except an
occasional narcotic when very rest
less. My Improvement dated from
my arrival. My limbs soon be-
came strong, my sight and voice
came to me slowly, and full set of
teeth, regular and firm appeared"
Remarkable, miraculous! Sure
ly, sir, you must have been greatly |
in feshG"
"Madam, / weighed but nine
pounds. i was born in Minnesota.
Good day"

On the Saginaw.


Pale glows the sunset westward on my gaze,
Lower the Day-God sinks from off his throne
Upward slow lifts the rivers misty haze,
Mingling dark earth and softoned sky in one.
The winds are waiting 10 their sunset rest;
In paler blue the rifted cloudlets SWIM
Our daylight fair retreats into the west,
And my thoughts follow, till they rest on him.
o, that the breeze would tarry till my lips
Could fill its balmy wings with breath-ed love
Then, ftly freighted, might its speed eclipse
The flight of arrows, or of winged dove.
The stars come slowly out; above his head,
AS DER my own, these scf-same orbs do shine;
And all their lambent glories brightly she'd
Around his wandering steps, as well Ms mine.
How far apart While standing lonely now
Beside tins river, with its numbering craft,
] think, meath that bleak Rocky Mountain brow
He drives the tunnel, and he sinks the shaft.
If could stamp on yon blue dome prayer
All writ in golden letters, that his eye,
Upturned, could trace forever cleaning there,
forevermore engraven on the sky
All, me thinks each star would bear its word,
So multitudinous the thoughts that yearn;
And heavens own radiant brightness be obscurcd
With earth-prUyers for his salty and returnl

at nearly eighty miles an hour.
She went so fast that she quit
bumpin'. We shot round them
curves like a streak of lightnin' an
ev'ry time we'd strike one t seem
ed we must go over. When the
oil car struck us we made a
gap of about ten foot between
them and us, an we couldn't in
crease it, to save our souls.
"Poor Jimmy Keenan, was my
fireman. He was crazed for bout
a minute, when the burnin' cars
hit us an kept SO close in our wake.
He tried to jump of, but ! grab
bed him till he cum t himself, and
he stuck to the old gal like a man.
Jimmy got killed in picl1in' a
young one off the track ahead of

the young one, though.

me afterward that they crouched
down in fur corner of the car,
almost sweltered with heat, expect
in grand crash every second, an
in danger O being trampled to-
death by tn horses. Through the
broken end O the car they could
see tn blazin' oil tanks a roarin

No Extra sesston.

We trust the talk about an extra session of
Congress has no foundation. It would be q
great mistake. Congress can do nothing in
this matter Of the strikes The trouble is
already nearly over It has ceased to
spread; and the citizens everywhere are
taking the disorders in hand. The Gov
ernor of Ohio has called on the citizens in
cities, towns and even villages to do their
duty, as a special police, to put down dis
order. The Governor of New York has
offered five hundred dollars reward for the
apprehension of any one who stops a
train the Governor of Pennsylvania has
returned from his pleasure trip, and
is taking measures with the citizens
to restore order. The strikers them
selves are already alarmed, and at various
points are themselves sworn in as extra
policemen. The tramps, thieves and cut
throsts are not numerous enough to make
head against the citizens anywhere.
To call an extra session of Congress to
deal with this matter would only bring it
into politics, which would be real, and
might be very great, calamity. The States
are quite able to deal with the lawlessness.

Shooting Over Their Heads.

The Chicago police thought they did a
humane and wise thing Tuesday night when
they dispersed gathering mob which had
attacked them by firing over their heads.
But they made n very serious blunder, and
last evening they reaped the fruits of it in
another riot.
There is no reason in the world for being
careful of the lives of mob. 1t is wild
beast, and it needs to be shot down. That is
the plain truth Of it. There has been
too much triaing with mobs already, and
people set up hullaballoo because rioter,
caught red handed with brick in his fist,
is shot down. We trust the authorities in
this city and State will give strict orders to
the police and the military to ''aim low" and
to deliver as effective fire as they can when
ever they face mob. citizen can do no
better work, be lie policeman OF militia
man, than when he shoots down a rioter.
He deserves medal from the State for it.

SchWnb,S Millennium.

Doubtless these are great days for Schwab.
He must sell more beer than any half dozen
of his nelghbors; and if he does not make
more than four and half cents on a five
cent glass this is sufficiently within
the Communistic principle OF a fair
division +. for his purposes. But we
should like seriously to know whether
Schwab's pint pot holds good quart of
beer. There cannot be any reliable millen-
mum short of that. The simple prin
OF Communism on this subject was laid
down by Jack Cade. He said, "There shall
be in England seven half-penny loaves sold
for penny; the three-hooped pot shall
have ten hoops, and I will mako
it felony to drink small beer" In
that last clause Cade went for the heart of
the true Communist and brewer, who hates
thin potations. But when Jack provided
that ten cents worth of beer should be given
for three cents he was extravagant. Schwab
could have taught him that that would
destroy the beer business and end in the
disappearance OF beer as beverage and the
ruin OF his political and social theory.
