Innocent Mark Twain.
from the Chronicle.1

When Mark Twain lived in Virginia
he roomed with Dan. De guile. All the
miseries which guile ever endured. and
all the bad characters he ever got dated
from that time. They lived in several
different lodging-houses, and were turn
ed ont of them all, one after the other,
all on account of Dam, who soon aequir-
ed bad reputation second to none in
Virginia. No respectable family would
harbor Dan., who knew anything about
him, and the very mention of his name
would cause landlady to hold up her
hands in virtuous horror. One morning
Mark woke up and heard the landlady's
cat mewing about the door, which was
open, Dan. was fast asleep, and Mark,
grabbing one Of his heavy boots, threw
it with fatal precision at the intruder.
The cat limped off with broken leg
(the boot weighed FIVE pounds), and the
landlady secured the missile and waited
for his owner TO appear. Mark got up,
dressed, and went out with both boots
on. The landlady greeted him with
pleasant smils, and when Dan. got up
and was walking about in his stocking
feet hunting for his left boot, he receiv-
ed scathing dressing-down from the
landlady, who, without allowing him to
explain, ordered him to leave the house.
Mark condoled him in his trouble, and
said, "I'll stick to ye, Dam" The next
house they moved into had a pantry
close to the room consigned to them
Every night Mark would steal two or
three mince pies and eat them entire
without giving Dan. sight at them
In the morning the landlady would be
brushing about near the door, Dan
would be asleep and Mark would oper
out in loud voice as follows: "Dan.

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,

physicians from attempting to find rem

death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to b.
unavoidable. 1t is now proved, howev

that it has been cured in a very grea

THE
NATIONAL DISEASE.
Is 1t Durable =?

NHosE who have suffered from the
l. various and complicated forms of
disease assumed by Catarrh, and have
tried many physicians and remedies
without relief or cure, await the answer
to this question with considerable ankle
ty. And well they may; for no disease
that can be mentioned is so universally
prevalent and so destructive to health as
Catarrh. Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs,
and serious and frequently fatal affec-
tions of the lungs follow, in many cases
a case of simple but neglected Catarrh.
Other sympathetic affections, such as
deafness, impaired eye sight and loss of
sense of smell, may be referred to as
minor but nevertheless serious results of
neglected Catarrh, bad enough in them
selves, but as nothing compared with the
dangerous affections of the throat and
lungs likely to follow.
IT CAN BE CURED.
1T can be cured. There is no doubt
L about it. The immediate relief af-
| forded by SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE
FOR CATARRH is but q slight evidence
of what may follow persistent use of
this remedy. The hard. incrusted mat
ter that has lodged in the nasal passages
is removed with a few applications; the
liberation and Inflammation subdued

Mistaken Kindness,

The father, who for a great portion
of his life, has struggled with poverty
is unwilling that his children should
have similar experience. So he de-
MES himself indulgence in even
necessary things that he may save and
make for his family. The mother,
remembering how irksome household
tasks were to her in her girlhood,
permits her daughters to lead lives of
ease and Incidence, thinking that in so
doing she makes the best manifesto
lions in her power Of maternal love
As natural consequence of this view
on the part of the parents, we see
growing up all around us young men
and women perfectly useless for all
the practical purposes Of life-unable
to cope with misfortune. Intellectual
or moral fibre is not inherent; it must
be built up from within, and is the
result of independent thought and
action. The sooner a boy can be
made to wait upon himself, to think
for himself, to act for himself, the
sooner will the germs of true man
hood begin to develop within him.
It is no kindness to surround him with
such attention and care that he will
not be compelled to learn the lesson
Of self-reliance, Of patient industry,
persistent hope. The real crowns Of
this world are crowns of labor.

In general, 10000 pounds is a car
load; it is also 70 barrels of salt; 70
of lime, SO of -four, 80 of whisky, 200
sacks of -four, 6 cords of hard wood,
7 of soft, 18 to 20 head of cattle, 81

5000 ct of solid boards, 1900 feet

800 of apples, 4S0 of Irish pototoes,
800 of sweet potatoes, and 1000
bushels of bran. The foregoing table
may not be exactly correct, for the
reason that railroads do not agree in
their rules and estimates, but it ap-
proximates so closely to the average
that shippers will find it a great ad-
vantage as a matter of reference.

graceful social charm which was one
Of the most pleasing features Of French
politics under Theirs. Then there
was almost IAN era of good feeling"
Looking at the rule of Theirs, and
that Of Mcmahon, from social point
Of view, the contrast is very striking.
At the marshal's receptions it ia sell
dom that any except partissns of his
public policy are to be met with. It
is, as has been remarked, "a regime
Of rudeness, .savoring a good deal of
camp" Theirs had the grace and
tact to introduce social amenitv
as one Of the forces and bu]warks of
his government. He managed with
an easy adroit bonhomaae which un-
doubtedly lent strength to his popu-
larity and his public influence. In
those crowded receptions at the Elysee,
in the centre of which the wonderful
little man dispensed hospitalities of
the state with genial loquaclty all
his own, there were gathered, not Re-
publicans alone, but "such throng
as no French court, royal or i'm
perial, ever attracted during the
present century. Mobiles of the an
Glen regime and radicals of tho deep
est dye; soldiers and spectators, to
whom the hum of the imperial bees
was dearer than the scent of the sil-
yer lilies priests, in6dels, artists, po-
cts, journalists, sauants, and bourgeoi.
SIC, ballasted with steady Orleanism
they were all there on the common
ground that divided them least !:
and they would eye each other with
out frenzy, and even jest and ar
que without flying at each other
throats." These pleasant dissolvings
Of political rancor in social contact
and amenity have sadly vanished un-
der the grim aud tacit,rn soldier who
now rules France; and this i. one of
the least promising features of the
on dition of the volatile and e1cita bic
