JOSH BILLINGS ON BEER.
why he Believes it will not Intoxi
cate-His Famous Beer Fest Act.

hav finally cum to the conclusion
that lager beer as beverage is not in
tOXicating.
hav been told by German who said
he had drunk it all mite long. just to try
the experiment. and wuZ obliged to go
HON entirely sober in the morning.
hav seen this same man drink eighteen
glasses. and if he wuZ drunk it wuz in
German, and nobuddy could understand
il.
1t is proper enuff to state that this man
kept Il lager beer saloon, could have no
object in stating what waz not strictly
thus.
believe him to the full extent of my
ability. l never drank but three glasses
of lager i'm my life, and that made my
head outwist as tho it wuz hung on the
end of "A string, but wuz told that it
wuz owing to my bile being out of place
and guess that it was so. for never billed
over wus than did when got HON that
mite. My wife thot wuz gOin to die,
and wuz afraid that shouldn't for it
seemed as tho everything had ever eat
ell i'm my lite WIZ coming to the surface ;
and believe that if my wife hadn't pull
ed off my boots just az she did, they would
hav cum laundering up too,
0. how sick wuZ! IA yearsagc, and l
can taste it now.
l never had so much experience in so
short time.
/ If any man shud tell me that lager
beer wuz not intoxicating, l shud be-
lieve him; but if he shud tell me that |
wuZn't drunk that mite but that my
stummick wuz out of order, shud ask
him to state over a few wurds just how
"a man felt and acted when he WIZ set
up.
If warn't drunk that mite, / had sum
ov the most natural simtums that man
ever had and kept sober.
In the first place it was about so rods
! frum where drank the lager beer to mi
house. and wuz jest over two hours on
the road, and hole busted thru each
one of my pantalOOn neeZ, and didn't hav
any hat, and tried to open the door by
the bell-pull and hiccuped awfully and
saw everythin' i'm the room trying to get
round on the back side Ov me, and, sit
ting down on chair, | did not wait long
enuf for it to get exactly under me when
l wuz going round. and sit down lit
tie too soon and missed the chair about
twelve inches. and couldn't get up soon
enufi to take the next one that cum along
and that amt awl my wife sed wuz az
drunk az beest, and, as sed before,
began to spin up things freely.
If lager beer liz not Intoxicating it used
me most almighty mean, that know.
Still hardly think that lager beer il
intoxicating, for hav been told so; and
| am probably the only man living who
ever drunk emmy when his liver wuz moi
plumb.
, don't want to say anything against {
} harmless temperance beverage. but i
J ever drink eny more, it will be with m
: hands tied behind and mi mouth price
open.
don't think lager beer is intoxicating
but if remember rite, think it TASTED
to me like glass Of soap suds that
pickle had been left tew soak in.

A Train of Cars Struck by Lightning.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald of March
28 says: The nOrih-bound train on the
Cleveland, Tuscarawas Valley and Wheel
ing Railway, when between Massillon and
Fulton. yesterday afternoon, was struck by
lightning. The engineer and brakeman ,e-
ceived slight injuries about the head and
lower limbs. but the passengers escaped
without more than a terrible shaking mp and
a sudden fright. The baggage car was
somewhat shattered, and after the effects OF
the shock had passed, the conductor passed
through, exhibiting some large pieces of
the timbers where the car was shattered.
The report OF the electric fash was as if a
cannon had exploded i'm the center of the
train. As qnick as the fash every passen-
ger was raised from his seat, and some felt
the shock some minutes afterward. 1t was
miraculous that the lightning did not count
some victims, or throw the train from the
track"

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
of dyspepsia or disOrdered liver. The
result of these diseases upon the masses
of intelligent and valuable people is most
alarming, making lite actually a burden
instead of a constant existence of enjoy
ment and usefulness rs it ought to be.
There is no good reason for this. if you
will only throw aside prejudice and
skepticism, take the advice of druggists
and your friends, and try one bottle of
Green's August Flower. Your speedy
relief is certain. Millions of bottles of
this medicine has been given away TO
try its virtues, with satisfactory results
i'm every case. You can buy a sample
bottle for 10 cents to try. Three doses
will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all druggists on the western con-
tinent. For sale by Farr & Weed and
A. Nj. GerOw. nOv3
The penetrating winds incident to this
season of the year are d severe ordeal tor
the lungs. The neglect of hard cough
generally leads TO weakness of the lungs,
which, not infrequently, results in Con-
sumption.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup will at once
| relieve and loosen tight cough and is
such an agreeable remedy that children
will take it without being cOaxed. A cold
on the lungs, if consumption is not al
ready developed, may be easily mastered
by the use of the PulmOnic Syrup, to-
gether with Schenck's Mandrake Pills to

has become deeply seated, and the pa
] tient suffers from the loss of appetite,
weakness and emaciatiOn, Schenok's Sea

stimulate the appetite and bring the di-
geStiye powers into healthy action, there
by sustaining the strength of the patient
and enabling him to resist the progress

may perform its healing and cleansing

resides in the vicinity Of Fort Fetter-

Stevenson remarked just before leaving
for Colorado that he'd rather die than

dealt with, which latter version of the
affair there appears to be no evidence

COMING TO-DAY.



Remember that this great combine
tion will arrive in our city TODAY.
Look out for the procession, which is
said to be one of the finest -eyer seen on
the American continent. The San
Francisco Chronicle, after witnessing
the cavalcade, thus writes
'The procession Of Forepaugh's Cir
Gus and Menagerie in our city yester-
day was the grandest street pageant
ever made in our city. The gilded
chariots, shining like gold; the gaily
caparisoned horses; the helmeted caval
cade of horsemen, giittsEtag in spaneles;
the banners; all made the most COR
geous procession one could well expect
to see-dazzling to the eye and bewild-
ering to the senses. The procession
was witnessed by the largest crowd
Of people that has ever been called out
on a like occasion in. San Francisco.
The tents, mammoth In proportions,
were crowded both afternoon and even
ing-several special trains bringing
people from neighboring towns. The
Menagerie comprises the largest and
best collection Of animals that has ever
been exhibited on the Pacific Coast, and
the Circus performance was certainly
owe surpassed, If equaled. in our
city, ~ @ 5

mcDanlsIs, New Theatre.

Notwithstanding that it poured rain
until 8 O'Clock last night, q good audi
ance assembled at the above named
theatre to witness the initial perform
ance Of the Wallace Comedy Company.
"The Shaughraun" was presented in a
glorious manner, and Mr.. Wallace was
in his element in the part Of "Conn.'
We, in our humble opinion, doubt if
that gentleman can be surpassed even
by the great original (Boucicault).
Miss Clara Baker al Clair Ffolliot was
good, al asalso Misses Alton, Rutledge
and Haines. OF the gentleman, Messrs.
Beresford, Philleo, Cook and Marble
were up to their usual standard. Mr..
]. 8. Lindsay gave a vigorous imper'
sonation of Captain Molineux, and the
balance Of the cast were fully up to the
requirements. In short, the new com
pany can safely score a success. There
will be no performance tonight, on ac-
count Of the circus. Tomorrow night
will be presented the great play of
Richelieu, with MI. Lindsay in the
title role-a part in which he, excels-
and as the leading parts are all in good
hands, 1t will doubtless be a fine per-
formance. Our citizens shonld not
miss the opportunity Of witnessing this
play, Bulwer's great masterpiece, and
one which touches the hearts of all.
