ANGELS UNAwAREs.-Old Parson Happy
was one of the old.time circuit riders, whose
rough exterior and uncouth ways often OBJ
scured his true goodness of heart. One day
he was caught in shower, in Illinois, and
going to rude cabin near by, he knocked at
the door. A sharp looking old dame an
swered his summons He asked for shelter.
81 don't know you," she replied, suspiciously.
Remember the Scriptures" said the preach
er. "'Be not forgetful to entertain strangers,
for thereby some have entertained angels un-
awares.' -" "You needn't say that" quickly
replied the other; "no angel would come
down here with big quid of tobacco in his
mouth p She shut the door in his face, leav-
ing the good man to the mercy of the rain
and his own reflections.

WANTED A CLEAN CUP.-The London
Truth tells the following anecdote: At re-
cent charity fair distinguished society lady
was among those who dispensed tea at big
price for thimbleful. A seriously-looking
gentleman approached and inquired the price
of cup of tea. "One shilling" was the re-
ply. The gentleman paid. But before the
lady gave him the cup she first put it to her
lips, and then handing it to him said a: "Now
it costs sovereign" The gentleman calmly
laying down sovereign, bowed to the lady,
and in the most natural tone in the world,
said: "And now, will you be kind enough to
let me have clean cup?" Tableau.

SALT WITH NUTS.-One time, While ENJOY
ing visit from an Englishman, hickory nuts
were served in the evening, when my English
friend called for salt, stating that he knew of
case of woman eating heartily of nuts in
the evening, who was taken violently i'll.
The celebrated DR.. Abernethy was sent for,
but it was after he had become too fond of his
CUPS, and he was not in a condition to 60.
He muttered, "Salt! salt" of which no no.
tice was taken. Next morning he went to the
place and she was corpse. He said that
had they given her salt it would have relieved
her; and if they would allow him to make
an examination he would convince them. On
opening the stomach the nuts we're found in
mass. He sprinkled salt on this and it i'm
mediately dissolved. I have known of a sud-
den death myself, which appears to have been
the effect of the same cause. l generally eat
salt with nuts and consider that it improves
them.-G Germantown Telegraph.

News from Tashkend.

Our telegram from Tashkend gives the
latest news of the movements of the Ameer
of Cabul and his son Yakoob Khan. BY the
news from Mazar-i-Sharif it appears that the
sometime ruler of Afghanistan has at last
given up the intention he had so tena-
ciously entertained of proceeding to Tash-
kend, and will send thither instead four
ambassadors. Illness is apparently the
reason for his eventual change Of purpose,
and though this illness may be diplomatic
and mere pretext to cover change Of
plan and put aside an awkwardly received
intention, it is yet quite probable that dis
appointment and hard winters journey
have broken down the fugitive Prince.
Daily communications between Yakoob
Khan and the Ameer seem to be significant
of existing good will between the two, and
do not support the view taken in some
English reports that the son in Cabul
is the most virulent Of all the enemies
Of his father. Yakoob's report of the opera
tions of the English is naturally view Of
the facts colored with the narrator's hopes.
Doubtless the story that the English lavish
gold on the people is a barbarian view Of
the fact that they pay for the supplies they
are able to obtain in the country. That q
conqueror should pay for what he has the
power to take may easily be Incompetent
sible in those regions, and SO they explain
the money they see as gold laid out to
purchase good will. That the mountaineers
lose no opportunity to pillage English con-
voys is evidenced by the severe measures
the English have been compelled to adopt.

Diseased Cows.

Some further accounts are given In the
HERALD to-day of the condition of the COWS
in the stables that adjoin the distillery OF
Gaff, Fleischmann & Co., at Blissville.
These accounts are in the nature Of first
rate notices for the persons who profit by
the sale of milk from those stables, and are
Of interest to milk drinkers who perhaps
use this very fluid, drawn from dis
eased cows and stewed in an atmos-
phere by comparison with which the
air of sewers is fresh and sweet. Officers
who examined these COWS under the author
ity of the Brooklyn Board of Health were
told that there was not q sick COW in
the place, and they did not find well
one; but found eight hundred steamed in
foul air and burning with fever, whose
diseased milk is sold for the city breakfast
table and whose diseased bodies are
sold for beef Our own Board of
Health intends to discover this stable
and the condition of the COWS in it about
the year 19OO-which is only twenty-one
years ahead, so the public should be pa
tient. When our Health Board discovers
this stable, and is satisfied that the milk
comes to this city, it may interfere with the
sale. In the meantime it is not sure that
the milk of diseased cows is not just as
healthy as any other
