We had thought. upon reading the
false acusitions aimed at rs last week by
the resderless coocern Of the lower end
Of town, that We would make no answer
to its silly prating, but as its dozen or 50
readers in the cnuntry might believe q
portion of its remarks. We will just say
that the Opposition ticket" was BOT
supported BY us, we simply printed the
tickets for q stated price, which We opine
our worthy contemporary would have been
glad to have done. The name Of MI.
Platt was printed on the tickets just Is
it was given US by the parties having the
work done. IF the editor Of the reader
less continues 10 this way-misrepreseu-
ting facts-he will soon bear the same
reputation 10 this country that he did 10
Iowa-that Of beisg the champion liar of

lace The douanier winked; the happy
bride was accosted with the invitation
to walk into the female searcher's room.
She turned pale, tottered, but was led
away, and five minutes later dismal
sounds of Mysteries were heard. Then
the douanier reappeared, and said to the
mortified husband, Thank you, sir; it's
a good capture. The lady will be taken
to prison, and half the fine will so to
you This was painful adventure, but
it does not follow that all husbands are

A more amusing anecdote on this sub
ject was lately told at public dinner
by Ferdinand Duval, Project of the
Seine He said that the octroi men of
Paris, who levy the municipal barrier
dues, are most vigilant set of fellows,
but that, having boosted of their merits,
he (the Prefect) had been caught. A
friend of his, residing at st. Cloud, has
made a small bet that he would intro
duce . pig into Paris in his brougham
without the octroi men detecting it. NJ.
Duval took the bet, and strict orders
were given at all the gates of Paris to
look out for the brougham of the friend
in question. Within less than a week,
however, the Project received the sum
OF SO confines, being the amount of
duty leyiable on e pig, and a request to
come and assured himself that the quad
ruped had been successfully struggled
in. 1t turned out that the pig, killed
and scalded, had been dressed up in
womans clothes, and had been driven
into Paris seated triumphantly on the
box beside the coachman. Since then

some fxity at plump women when they
behold them on carriage boxes.-Leisure

Afghan Towers and Huts.

These towers are structures about thirty
feet high, and the same in diameter
The first ten feet are of solid structure;
the upper hollow, and capable of holding
fifteen or twenty men; the whole loop
hoed and rooted in; above the roof is a
lookout balcony. The only entrance is
small doorway above the stone sub
structure, approached either by ladder
or single piece of rope, which, when the
tower is occupied, is drawn up. Scat
tered round the towets are the huts or
cave dwellings of the people. The huts,
surrounded generally by low earthen walls,
resemble those all over upper India
earthern walls and fiat, Undiscovered
roofs some 20 feet long, 10 or IL broad,
and 6 high. Sometimes they are longer,
and divided into apartments, in one of
which the COWS and buffaloes are housed,
though quite as often they occupy the
same apartment as their owners. Their
portion is generally anything but clean;
the portion occupied by the family is
swept out daily by the women who, as a
rule do not only all domestic work, but
good portion of outside duty also. The
only furniture consists Of two or three
small bedsteads, covered with string, on
which lie tumbled some dirty quilts or
blankets; in one corner some seed cases
covered with coating of mud, contain
ng the grain for daily use and for the
next sowing season; small stool or two,
and some spinning wheels, at which e
women sit when at leisure, which is l.
dom; few ghurras, earthen vessels, hold
ing water or buttermik, and used as cook
ing-pots. In one corner, or in the centre
of the room, lies heap of ashes or a
wood fire, on which the cooking is done
the smoke of which, having no outlet,
blackens walls and rafters, on which hang
the warlikc implements of the lords of

Josh Billings Advice to Singers

The first thing to make good quire
singer is to giggle little. Put up your
hair in curl papers every Friday mite, soze
to have it in good shape by Sunday morn
ing. If your daddy is rich you can buy
some store hair; if he is very rich, buy
some more and build it up high on your
head; then git high-prised bunnet that
runs up very high, at the high part of it,
and git the milliner to plant some high
Known artefishas onto the highest part Of
it. This will help you sing high, as So
phrano is the highest part
When the tune is Civ out, don't pay
attention to it, and then giggle. Giggle
a good eel.
Whisper to the girl next you that En-
Jones, which sets on second seat from the
front on the left-hand side. has her bun
net with the same color exact she had las,
year, and then put up your book TO your
face and giggle.
Object to every tune unless there is a
solow into it for the sophrano. Golf and
hem good eel before you begin to sing.
When you sing a solow shake the art-
fshels offyour bunnit, and when you come
TO a high tone and brace yourself back a
little, twist your head to one side and
open your mouth TO the wides, on that
side, shet the eye on the same side jest
a triple. and then put in for dear life
When the preacher gets under hedwey
with his preachin, write a note onto the
blank leaf Of your note book. That S
what the leaf was made for Get sum-
body to pass the note to sumbody else,
and you watch them while they read it
and then giggle.
If anybody talks or laffs in the congre-
gashun and the preacher takes notls OF it,
that's good chance for you to eiggle,
and you ought to giggle great eel.
The preacher darsent say anything TO YOU
bekaus you are in the quire. II you had
a bow before you went into the quire
give him the mi.ten-you ought to have
sumbody better now.
Don't forge. to giggle

Playing With Firearms.

One of these practical jokers who
point firearms, supposed not to be load
ed, at persons Sin fun" was treated ac-
cording to his deserts in Iowa recently,
as we learn from the report of State
against Hardie, AZ Iowa, 647. The hui
morous gentleman in question under
took to brighten lady neighbor with a
revolver. The weapon somehow went
off, and the lady died of the fright. The
court thought this was manslaughter, and
sent the joker to prison for one year to
give him an opportunity for reflection.
The despair of the unfortunate man, his
threats of killing himself, and his vio-
lence, necessitating the tying him with
ropes, when he discovered his mistake,
were not deemed of sufficient account to
dispense with The restraint of the prison.
The prisoners counsel requested the
court to charge the jury that he was
not blameable If his act was what any
man of ordinary prudence and caution
might have done The court declined,
observing: mo jury would be warrant
ed in finding that men of ordinary pru-
dence and caution so conduct themselves
When persons engage in such reckless
sport they should be held liable for the
consequences of their acts" Albany

Milk and Lime Water.

LII d paper on MILK With Lime w a.
ter as Food and Medicine in Nervous
Disorders" presented by N. E. Chap
man to the Medical Society of the State
Of New York, at it's recent annual
meeting, the author deprecates the war
fare of drugs against disease which is
now being wagcd by specialists more
vigorously and systematically than ever
before. Digestion and assimilation, he
asserts, are ignored, and the attention is
absorbed by one or more prominent
symptoms in a part remote from the
primary source of morbid action. Con-
sequently the efforts of the physician to
cure his patient are too often unavail-
ing.
He states that having used, the last
few years, milk with lime water almost
exclusively as the diet of his patients,
he has attained a success unknown to
him when he depended more on medi-
cine and less on food. To illustrate the
ready assimilation, the nutritivc quality
and remedial power of milk, when rend-
cred digestible by lime, he presented
notes of number of cases treated by
him, mbracing a class involving the
nerve centers, and that are acknowl-
edged to be little under the command
Of the accepted modes of treatment ;
such, for instance, as marasmus, anamia,
paralysis, indigestion, neuralgia, chorea,
dementia and alcoholism.
In concluding his paper, DIR. Chapman
remarks that the efficacy of milk with
lime water in the illustrative cases
brought forward by him is equally OBJ
servable in others, whenever, either
primarily or secondarily, the nutritive
functions are much at fault The milk
with a pinch of salt) being rendered
very acceptable to the stomach by the
lime, may almost always with advantage
be made the prime article of diet in the
sick room, however diverse the con-
dition. 1t is the most digestible and at
the same time the most nourishing food
that can be given. 1t allays gastric and
intestinal irritability, offers duly pre-.
pared chyle to the absorbents, supplies
the blood with all the elements of nutri-
ton, institutes healthful tissue changes,
stimulates the secreting and excreting
glands, and, in a word, provides nature
with the material required to sustain her.
self in her contest with disease. If it
be conceded that nature always accom-
plishes the cure whenever it is secured,
and that drugs merely aid, direct, or
modify her efforts to this end, it will be
selfevident that the food which supplies
the vital forces with all the power of re-
sistance they possess is a matter Of the
first Importance. and that milk acted
upon the lime, provided it contains all
the essential properties of other articles
epitomized, and is more friendly than
any or all of them, has range of appl<
cation almost as extensive as the disease
itself, whatever its character and who
ever the patient.

. ISCONTENT.

Two boats rocked on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
One was n love with the harbor:
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds of fate outbore,
But held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With wisttul eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailing far and fleet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbor safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss-grown shaded shore:
One signs that it may enter
That harbor nevermore.
One wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and wall.
One dreams. amid the lilies,
OF far-oif snowy sail.
OF all that life can teach Us
There's nought so true as this:
The winds OF fate blow ever;
But ever blow amiss.
