"WAKED UP THE FORT" "A month before
the bombardmeut of Fort Fisher began, the
celebrated powder explosion occurred, which
was intended to blow down this solid earth.
work, mile in extent, with forty feet ira
verses every few yards Its ridiculous failure
is we'll remembered. The night after the ex-
plosion of the powder ship some of our pick
cts on the beach were captured and carried
on board the Admiral's ship. Among them
was very solemn looking fellow who sat 81
lently and sadly chewing tobacco. AS there
was intense curiosity among the officers OF
the fleet to know the result of the remarkable
experiment, one of them asked the solemn
looking "Reb" if he was in the fort when the
powder-ship exploded; to which he replied in
the afirmative-but without exhibiting the
least interest in the matter; whereupon the
officers gathered around him and began to
ask questions:
"You say you were inside the fort ?"
"Yaas ; I was thar
"What was the effect of the explosion ?"
"Mighty bad, sir-powerful bad"
"Well, what was it? Did it kill any reb-
els, or throw down any of the works?"
"No, sir hit didn't do that"
"Well, what did it dos Speak out, damn
your eyes," ...
"Why, stranger, hit walked up pretty nigh
every man in the fort !"
The IRREPREssIBLE.-They were all out
at the Springs-father, mother, and the five
year.old boy. After an invigorating bath
they went up on the hill to the "chicken-soup'
spring, and while RECALLING themselves with
the delightful drink, the little one looked at
the bubbling, steaming water moment, and
then asked:
Mamma, what makes that water boil so?'
"God does, my son."
"How does he do it?'
"Oh he builds big fire under it,"
"Does he build the fire his own self?"
eyes, | suppose So"
The little one reflected moment, and then
asked:
Mamma, does God kick over the chairs
and swear at Mrs. God when he has to get up
and build the 6re?"
The wife glanced suggestively at her hus-
band, but his eyes were fixed intently upon
some object away down the river. The silence
for minute was absolutely painful, and then
the man softly remarked:
81 never before knew the Humbolt to be so
low at this time O. year.-Elko Post.
The IRIsHMAN's RUsE.-"Dennis," said
Mike, "d'ye see that? I'll fall overheard
and you'll jump in and rescue me, and we'll
divide the reward, which will be pound
apiece" "Agreed," said Dennis, "go ahead." ."
And minute later Mike was foundering in
the river. But no sooner had he fallen in
than Dennis, to his inexpressible horror, re
membered that he did not know how to swim,
and so, instead of springing in and rescuing
the drowning man, he stood leaning over the
rail, staring at the bubbles where Mike had
sunk. Once Mike came up, but Dennis gave
no sign. Twice he came up, but Dennis could
neither move nor utter word. For the fatal
third time he came to the surface, and family
exclaimed: denny, av ye amt moighty
quick it's only fifteen shillin's aich for recov-
erin the body"

ought to be the indispensable condition Of
gentlemanliness. No man who borrows and
does not pay, and does not care whether be

witty, or gay, or fine he may be. To speak
in good plain English, the man who dresaes
himself at another's expense, not knowing
how to pay. not caring whether be pays, is a
genteel scoundrel And yet such things are
done by good.natured folk, by kind.hearted
people, by persons who never probe them NOR:

what they lead to.

the promise of speedy relief: First. One

my left hand. I hit upon cure for both. 1t

tion every night of beef tallow, in one month
all the hard substance that had formed around
the corn had been removed. There is now no
trace left of either corn or war;" Second.
