Wonder what They'll Do Next.

The negro minstrel, Thatcher, the other
evening, told \ ludicrous story to. a big
audience at the Grand Opera House here,
and put a catch phrase into the mouth of
Indianapolitans that has kept them
laughing ever since. 1t is all about two
s. 3rs and a poll parrot. Two sailors
We had q parrot with them went into a
m~:,icians' show, in the upper room, in
some foreign city. The three constituted
the entire audience. After each feat of the
magicians, one O the sailors would remark
That's pretty good; wonder what they'll
do next" Finally one of the sailors
asked permission to smoke, which the
maggicians granted, forgetting that in the
room beneath was stored an immense
quantity Of gunpowder. The Jack tars
and the parrot continued to enjoy the
show, one sailor adding the pleasure ofhis
pipe and the other remarking after each
trick, "That's pretty good; wonder what
they'll do next"
A spark from the smokers pipe CHANGED
to drop through q crack in the floor into
the powder and something suddenly &C.
cured. Sailors and magicians, parrot

million fragments. All except the poll
parrot. He landed in a heap of bruised
flesh and burnt feathers on a potato patch
thice miles away. He was terribly de.
moralized. 1t took him some moments tt
collect himself, and when he had partly
done so he hoped limpingly upon ;
fence rail and remarked: "That's prctt,
good; wonder what they'll do next"

He may have come here to wash his

I said nothing, but looked toward the

AP. Dl0IonAa.

This singular man lived in Greece. He was
distinguished for his ccccntricities, bad man.
ners, and bad disposition. 1t was his chief bust
ness to find fault. For example, he took a
lantern one day when the sun was shining
brightly and went to search for an honest
man, thereby insinuating that such persons
were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, a
distinguished military gentleman, paid him q
visit, and inquired what he could do for him,
he had the %impudencc to tell him to "gct out
of his sunshine" To cap the climax of his
oddities, he dressed like a beggar, and lived in
bachelor. We infer that he had no wife, first,
because history docs not mention her; second,
because 10 woman would take kindly to one
ais habits, dress, or manners, or aspire to
ecomem mistress of his mansion. "Therc was
T., old woman who lived in a SHOE" it is
:uc, but the woman who would live in a tub,
Ind especially with such q companion, has not
been heard from. The misanthropic spirit
which possessed this man was doubtless due
OdisOrdered digestion and q ~biliousncss, one
OF the prominent symptoms of which is q
morose, f~aultfnding dis position. The tongue
Isl heavily coated 2; giving rise to a bad taste,
dull, sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to be fretful.
Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogenes lived several
centuries before DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purga.
tive Pellets were invented, a few doses of
which would have relieved him Of his "bile"
ana enabled him to find scores Of "hOncst
men" without the aid Of his lantern. Under
their magic influences, combined with that Of
the Golden Medical Discovery, to cleanse his
blood, he might have been led to take a more
cheerful view of life, to exchange his tub for
q decent habitation, to Spruce up" in per-
sonal appearance, and ut last have taken a
wife to mend his clothes and his manners,
and become the happy sire oflittle Dlogcncscs
who would have handed down to postcrity
the name, not of a cynic philosopher, but
Of a cheerful, healthy, happy, niytuous man,!

open the door. 'Oh! he said, open the
door, and see for yourself,-for Mahomcd
