The Bay Mule.

He was showing the man the new bay
mule that he was working in team with
the old gray. "You warrant him sound
and perfectly kind and gentle ?" the man
said. "Perfectly," said Farmer John.
" My wife and children drive him, and
he is perfect pet. Comes into the
house like a dog ''Easy to shoe 2"

Rear Guard.

Night before last a family man on West
Hill peeped out OF the hall door and saw
a youth sitting in the moonlight talking
to his eldest daughter. The old man
made a rush, the young man drifted out
into the shrubbery, and as he went over
the fence pater made a good line shot
and kicked. Then he carried himself
into the house on one foot and sat down
and wept, and called for witch hazel and
arnica, and yelled, Emelinel What
does that young fool plate himself for p
And Emeline said, "Why, pa!'' and she

night until the moon went down. Bur-

A Modern Samson.

In the last century there lived in En-.
land man named Thomas Topham, who
was renowned for his muscular power.
He could, with ease, roll up in his fingers
| the pewter platters which werein fashion
| at that time, or strike an iron poker
upon his arm until he bent it at right
angle. He took bar of iron, and,
placing it behind his neck, holding the
two ends in his hands, he brought these
ends forward until they met in front,
then-a teat which required still more
dexterity-he brought it straight again
in a similar manner. He is said to have
lifted with his teeth, and held out for a
time, wooden table six feet long, and
with half a hundred-weight attached to
one extremity. These performances are
recorded by DR.. Desaguliers, q French
scientific writer, who made it his bust
ness to investigate the subject person
ally, while collecting material for one of
his works. In 1744, being then 30 years
OF age, Topham went to Derby and
obtained permission of the authorities
to display his prowess in public. A
Stage was erected for him, and on this
stage, among other performances, he
raised three casks filed with water,
the total weight OF the three being 1886
pounds, and it will be observed that in
doing it he brought the muscles of his
neck and shoulders particularly into
requisition. TIE muscular strength of
his legs had been affected by an Injury
he sustained during an incautious exper-
iment. He had undertaken to pull
against two horses from the trunk of
tree, but, being unscientifc in his mode
OF exertion, and placing himself disad-
vantageoUsly, he was defeated, and his
knee-pan was fractured. It was the
opinion of Desaguliers that, had he gone
properly to work, Topham might have
pulled successfully against four horses
instead Of two. The two-horse feat was
accomplished in the last century by
powerful individual, German named
Won Eckeburg. This man sat down on
an inclined board, with his feet stretched
against fixed support, and two strong
horses were unable to remove him from
his position. Standing on platform,
like Topham, he sustained the weight
OF large cannon round his waist, and, at
another time, bending his body in the
form of an arch, he allowed a stone of
more than q foot in thickness to be
broken upon his abdomen by the blow
OF sledge-hammer. Of Maurice of
Savoy, son Of the Elector Augustus IL.
it is recorded that his strength of finger
was SO great that he could snap iron
horse-shoes between his fingers like
pieces Of glass, and, on one occasion,
finding himself in want of cork-screw,
he took long nail, and, with his fingers,
twisted it round into the shape of the
implement he required. Such are some
OF the feats which the human body is
able to accomplish by muscular exer-
ton.

Prompt Reform of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily evils,
enfeebled digestion, incomplete assimilation,
we'll as of the nervous symptoms which these
ailments are especially prone to beget, is al
ways accomplished by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters medicine accredited by
physicians, pronounced pure by analysts, and
eminently wholesome and agreeable. Surely
such restorative is preferable to unpalatable
and indigestible mineral drugs and INSANE
toned nostrums. The nation at large assur-
eddy thinks SO, judging by the unprecedented
demand for the article from Maine to the
Pacific, a demand now supplemented by inn
mense orders for it received from tropical
America, Mexico, the British and Spanish
colonial possessions and elsewhere. Both ut
home and abroad it is recognized as standard
remedy and preventive, the decisiveness Of its
effects recommending it everywhere.

Mehemet'S ALPS Death.

\ Later advices from Constantinople give
further details of the circumstances at
tending the death of Mehemet Ali Pasha.
It seems that at CUISINE, PLAYA and
Kolasin, even before the arrival of Me-
hemet Ali, complete anarchy had gained
the upper hand, and upon his arrival in
Jokovo he. found the greatest excite
ment prevailing among the inhab-
itants. He was violently upbraided with
having come to Albania to hand over the
land to the Servians. The agitation
went on increasing, finding vent es-
pecially in the vehement abuse OF Alb
dullah Pasha, Mehemet Ais Adjutant.
The house selected by Mehemet Ali for
his lodging was fred by the Albanians
of Jokovo and Ipek. Then the fight
began between the incendiaries and
Mehemet ALPS escort, in which twenty
men of the latter fell. Toward evening,
though the intervention of some Ule-
mas, the conflict was appeased, the in.
surgents promising to observe peace
full attitude. About o'clock in the
evening, however, in Jokovo, where
Mehemet Ali still remained, the strug,
gle broke out afresh, resulting in the
death of Abdullahs Pasha, with several
officers of the escort, and the house in
which they took refuge was fired. Me.
| hemet Ali succeeded in escaping from
the burning building and in concealine
i, himself in shed close by, but his hiding.
place was soon discovered, and he was
mercilessly put to death. f,a.,

PRICE OF PRODUCE IN THE HILLS.

Corn-The market is well supplied with
this article, and holders are now Offering at

43c. in the street.
Oats-Are in good request for farm use,

Potatoe.-Several trains almost entirely
loaded with this much-needed vegetable
have come in the past ten days, and sellers
have conceded to very low point Sales
were made on the stteet at Sc, with large
