NATURAL MIsrAKE-Not Ion

A NATURAL MIsTAKE.-Notl long
ago a Milford man came to this city,
bent upon having good time. He had
it, according to his understanding, of the
term, and when the shades of night had
fallen he started home. in a condition
which did not promise rapid trip. He
manifested desire to become acquaint-
ed with all parts of the road, and over
portions of it, here and there, he lin
gered lovingly, but for what reason 9th
er people could not see. Some of the
night had nassed when he reached the
vicinity of the rolling mill in Fair
Haven. In an enjoyable stupor he
stumbled in, and took lodgings on the
ground. Soon the workmen discovered
him. and they dragged him in, where
the molten iron glared at the walls and
roof, the bright sparks were flying all
around, the laborers seemed in the alter
nation of horrible shadows and lurid
flame like inhabitants of little pande-
monium. The scene might naturally
remind one of stories of the abode of the
damned. They shook the man from
Milford until his eyelids rose and re-
vealed to him the interior of the mill in
all its impressiveness. "Who are you,
and where do you come from ?" said the
workmen. The frightened reveler stared
about him as he replied, "Well, when I
was on earth lived in Milford. "--NeaO

How to be Beautiful.

Many hundred thousand dollars are
annually expended by ladies, for ''arti :
fetal" appliances to hide the shrunken
and wasted form, or the yellow skin,
bletches, or liver spots, which are due
to female weakness, dyspepsia, torpid
liver, and constipation. If small per
cent. of this sum were invested in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, ladies
would soon really be what they now
seem to be. 1t readily corrects those
weaknesses and diseases upon which
debility and emaciation depend. 1t
cures dyspepsia by toning up the sys-
tenn, and when used in connection with
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
speedily overcomes all Irregularities of
the liver and bowels. No "bloom of
YOUTH" no "beautifier of the complex
ion," can impart such permanent beau
ty of face and form as DR.. Pierce's
health-giving Favorite Prescription.

The JEWS IN PALESTINE.-The Lon
oon Standard calls attention to the way
IN which the Jews, scattered through
out the world, "are beginning to turn
their eyes towards their own land."-
The shrewdest financiers of that money
making people are reported to be buying
up Palestine. The Jewish Chronicle
reckOns that there are some eighteen
Thousand Jews in Jerusalem alone, and
that they annually receive about csc, 900
from their brethren abroad. Whether
dependent upon others or able to sup
port themselves, they cannot be persuad
ed to expatriate themselves from the old
mother country of Judea when they
have once returned there. 1t probable
that Lord Beaconsfield's oriental ambi-
tons and his known sympathies for the
regeneration of Syria have given a new
impetus to this movement. The Stand
ard further says:
"The possession of Palestine and a
of Syria by people who have retained
an indestructible nationality, while they
have learnt a complete cosmopolitanism
during some eighteen centuries-a ma
ton at once European and Asiatic-Asi
attic in origin and European in educa-
ton, would not be impolitic on the part
of European powers to assist in placing
so influential a people in so important
position, so soon as the inevitable de
cay of the Turkish power renders a
change of government necessary. All
the difficulties and jealousies incident to
any project of joint occupation would
be avoided; for the Jew is, at once, of
no nation and of all. No people could
better solve what before many years,
must become the Syrian difficulty"

JURORS TEST OATH.-In a recent
opinion, Judge Field of the Supreme
Court of the United States used the fol-
lowing language:
II do not think that the act of Con-
gress which, by requiring test-oath as
to past conduct, excludes great major
ity of the citizens of half the country
from the jury-box is valid. In my
judgment the act is not only oppressive
and edious, repugnant to the spirit OF
our institutions, but is clearly uncon-
stitutional and void. AS war meas
ure, to be enforced in the insurgent
States when. dominated by the national
forces, the act could be sustained, but
after the war was over, and the insur-
gent States were restored to their nor
NAL and constitutional relation to the
Union, it was as much out of place and
imperative as would be law quartering
a soldier in every Southern mans
house."

MILK PoIsoN.-On Monday of last
week, 25 persons were poisoned at the
Hotels in Liberty, Bedford county, by
drinking buttermilk. The Lynchburg
Varginia7 says the milk was received
from the country, and is supposed that
there must have been some lead poison
brought to market. None of the cases
were fatal, though the victims of this
wholly unforeseen misfortune were
made very sick.

SPRING..

What a beautiful time is spring,
When the woodchuck begins to sing,
And the bumblebee and chicadee
Carry their heads around in sling,
When the black and tickling ants
Crawl up the young mans pants,
And the straddlebug and mosquito hug
While the spiders engage in dance,
And the bird gets drunk on dew,
And offers the robin chew,
While the great owl blinks and the sparrow
wlnks,
At the wife of the gray cuckoo.
And the coon goes off on spree
Along with the chickmunk and Hea,
The odorous skunk gets laundering drunk
And tries to make love to the bee.
