DOLLS OF DRIED FRUIT.-If genial papa
or doting auntie wants TO amuse the little
ones immensely any evening after tea this
cannot more successfully be accomplished
than by making them some dolls Of dried
fruit for they can at first "wonder and ad-
mire" while the evolution Of the grotesque
figures is going on, and afterwards have the
delicious pleasure of eating the manikins up.
The materials to be employed are few each
of shelled almonds, figs, prunes and rasins,
also four apples, three of which must be
graduated two loose pieces Of wire, and two
pieces of board measuring two inches square,
in each of which must previously have been
fixed firmly two wire pins about four inches
high. Having got all the things together,
begin with the man. Put an almond an each
wire for his feet, turning the toes or narrow
end out. (The wires must be near enough
together to have the heels Just touch.) Above
these, string on each wire three large raisins
for the legs. Then comes a large prune on
each for the knickerbockers. Above these
thre6Higs strung on both wires make the
body. Through the upper fig pass wire
horizontally for the arms String three
smaller raisns on each arm, and continue the
figure by putting two largest-sized raisns
over both wires, one above the other for the
neck. The head is made Of one large prune,
with pieces Of almond for the eyes, nose and
mouth, and the hat is half an apple, with a
raisin for tuft. The little woman is made
in the same way, except that she only has
one raisin leg above each almond foot and
then come three graduated apples to form
her skirts, and over them the three figs with
the raisin- strung arms for her body.

QUICKENED CONSCIENCE. About ten
years ago the buildings of person residing
in n town some forty-five miles from Mont
pelier were damaged by fire to the amount of
about one hundred and fifty dollars, and cloth
ing to the value of fifty dollars was burned.
They were insured in the Farmers Mutual and
the case was duly settled and no more thought
of it. On Friday last the person drove to
Montpelier appeared before the insurance
company and gave himself up, stating that he
made false statement of the losses sustained
by the fire, and that he set the fire himself to
raise money to make payment on his place.
He had recently experienced religion and his
mind could not be at rest until he had made
a clean disclosure of the whole thing to the
company and settled for the same. Although
poor man, with large family to support,
he had come all this distance to give himself
into the hands of the law The matter was
satisfactorily adjusted and he departed for

PoLrTTcAL. - The following conversation
was overheard in New York city street-car
during the recent canvass for governor in that
state. The car, with number of others, was
stopped by political procession which was
crossing the track. Several of the passengers
got out to ascertain the cause OF the delay
Finally, an Englishman-a veritable cockney,
eye-gass and all-came out to the back plat
form and accosted native of the Vaterland,
who was standing there.
''Aw-what is the mattaw Z"
''De car ish stop" answered the phlegmatic
German.
"Ya-a-s. But why is the car stopped p
ITS one o Shohn Kellys professions, was
the reply.
"Jawn Kelly p said the cockney.
yah, de politics man."
"Oh ya-a-s, they are electing some Of their

man returned to his seat, apparently ponder

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.-Critics have puzzled
their brains good deal to account for the
wonderful vitality, the astonishing hold that
the play Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" has upon
the public. Year after year it is pla yed, and
always before crowded houses, when present
ed by good talent But few women who have
made for themselves reputation as actress
es, have gained any credit for themselves in
the delineation of ''Topsy" the incorrigible
wench of Mrs. Stoves creation. Mrs. G. c.
Howar is the only one who has been able,
year after year TO play this character to large
and delighted audiences. Her mischievous
pranks cause roars of laughter, while her
grief at the death of EVA, :" and the scene
wherein she presses to her bosom and kisses
the lock of Eva's hair, are portrayed in
manner that forces tears in the eyes of many.
Mr. Cool White the favorite "Uncle Tom,
Mr., G. G. Howard, the original 'St. Clair,
and little Carrie Hall, the wonderful child &C
tress, acknowledged to be the best eva" on
the stage, supported by splendid company,
and the celebrated Virginia Quartette of Ju-
bilee singers, in their plantation songs, will
appear at the Crosby opera house, Saturday
evening, Nov. 29th. Seats can be secured at

this day abandon the practice Of medicine. There
is an adsRe which reads; They who live by the
sword, by the sword shall also perish" and the say
ing is well enough in its way; but when the tables
are turned and made to read: THEY who live by
practising the healing art shall receive pay, and
consequently starve," then 1t isn't quite 80 praetca-
BILE. It is something two years since be-
came separate interest in the practice Of my profess
slon and have had during all the time, no lack Of
business but, after the most strenuous and persist
en Efforts the amount collected does not reach more
than twelve per cent. While regard the practice Of
medicine always have, in the light Of ideAlity, a.
a labor OF love toward humanity rather than mere
mereensry scheme also think that lightweight per
cent. Of ones business is more than ought to be ABB
sorbed by charity, especially beforeone lie in creum
stances to bear the sacrifice and therefore desist
and shall hereafter devote my time and erges and
Whatever ofAbility may possess, to such work as
will give me guaranty OF my earnings.
To those persons aud families who have given me
their confidence and patronage, return my thanks
and extend my hearty well wishes; and hope that
whenever the misfortune Of sickness comes to them
they may fall into care skfu but not less soc
