A Drunken GObbler,

A Glenburn farmer, says Bangor,
Me-, paper, came into the city recently,
and among other things purchased some
rice and a pint of whisky. Fearing
that the bottle might get broken on the
way home, he placed it in the box con-
tanning the rice. When he reached
home and took the box from the pung
he found that the stopple had got out of
the bottle, and the rice and whisky were
thoroughly mixed. He dumped the rice
behind the barn, and in short time a
huge turkey came along and, as he was
not as particular as the farmer gobbled
up the medicated rice. Shortly after
this the farmer was greatly surprised to
find the turkey lying out behind the
barn "dead as door-nail," and yowing
vengeance, on the man who sold him
whisky rank enough to kill turkey, he
carried the bird into the house. The
farmer was soon afterward seen carry
ing the naked bird-as every feather was
gone with the exception of wings and
tail-out behind the stable where he
left it on the SNOW. The next morning
when he entered the stable, it being
hardly light, he detected what he thought
was the ghost of the intemperate turkey,
and could almost feel his hair rise; but
he made up his mind to investigate the
matter and boldly advanced. Imagine
his surprise, on getting nearer, to dis
cover the bird shivering on the roost
and looking at him with reproachful
eyes for having stolen his clothes while
hopelessly drunk. At last accounts the
turkey was doing as well as could be ex-
pected during zero weather.

A Mules Reserved Power,


This mule locked like he was 13s
years old, and was dead standing upon
his feet. He was hitched to a pine
bodied spring wagon, with high dash
board. The team was standing on
the levee in mute silence, while the old
darkey who driv" it went aboard the
wharfboat. A tramp could make barrel
of money selling pictures of that mule,
labeled Patience" His long, fiabby
ears hung down each side Of his head
like window-awnings with the rods out
of them. His face wore sober look.
while out of his mouth hung tongue
eight inches long. His tail swung down
from the rear end of his hurricane roof
like wet rope, while his whole body
seemed as motionless as death itself.
Presently red-headed urchin, with an
old boot in his hand, walked up in front
of him, and, looking into his face, saw
that the mule was asleep. He walked
around, climbed up into that wagon
leaned over the dashboard, lifted that
mules tail, and let it come down in time
to catch death-grip on that bootleg.
That mule woke up SO quick that he
kicked the boy and the dashboard

of his ears, hauled in his tongue, plant

his knees, and from the fore shoulders
to the tip of his trunk was in lively
motion, and he didn't look like he was
more than years old, the way he was
kicking that old wagon-body into kind
ing-wood with his heels. He had it all
to himself, and was doing fine, when
the old darkey rushed up the hill, got in
front of him, and, grabbing him by
each ear, shouted, "Whoa ] tell you.

and, looking around at the crowd, yelled,

A Slow Train.

We are frequently indebted to our
friend Colonel Yard, of the Monmouth
Democrat, for anecdotes illustrative of
the character of the peculiar people who
live in New Jersey. He sends us this:
The Hon. G. TELLS good story
of q slow railroad in the northern part
of the state. He says he went there
cunning, and came to a short line of
road on which was run a single car, the
forward end of which was partitioned
of for baggage. He took his dog in the
car with him and put him under the
seat. Presently the conductor came
along, and insisted that the dog should
60 into the baggage room, which, after
some alteration, was done; but here
the baggage-master demanded a fee of
fifty cents, which was denounced as a
" swindle,"a a "put up job" between
the conductor and the baggage-master,
and that sooner than pay it he would tie
the dog to the train and let him "work
his passage" The conductor assented,
and the dog was hitchel to the rear of
the train, but the conductor began to
get uneasy, making frequent trips to the
engineer, urging him to increase the
1PNOA Va eAO sAoAAAt oAAA DoSA 0koAn W
watch the effect upon the dog. The lat
ter began to show signs Of fatigue, but
after while caught his second vino, !"
and was keeping along as before. The
conductor now ordered the engineer to
heave all the coal into the furnace and
stir up the fire, which being done, the
speed was perceptibly increased. The
conductor again went to the rear of the
car to observe the effect, but the dog had
disappeared, whereupon he triumphant
ly called T-'s attention to the fact.
The latter after taking glance at the
situation, quietly pointed to a crack in
the floor of the car, "and there" sayt
he, "was the dog, comfortably trottinq
along under the car, and licking the
grease from one of the axle boxesl"-

AIbanI.

was at Saratoga eight or nine years
ago and attended an entertainment in
the ball room of the United States ho-
tel. At the close an old French gentle
man arose and begged the audience to
listen to his daughters singing. Among
the few who attended to the request,
this lady saw two rather shabby figures
advance behind the old gentleman; they
were his daughters, and one was the
Albani of to-day, who was then listened
to merely as a matter of courtesy, as
there was nothing at all in her voice
then to foreshadow the great fame she
now enjoys. The father would, how
ever, persist that his daughter could
sing, and when others turned away in
disbelief, he held steadfastIy to his faith,
and she, in spite of sights and difficult
ties, persisted and went onward. You
may have read of magnificent home in
London where Albani lives with that old
father and the sister who was her COM
panion in the shabby bonnet and shawl
that failed even in the slightest degree
to enlist the interest of Saratoga ball
room audience. Lately, the newspapers
tell, she had twenty-three recalls in one
night before a critical audience in St.
Petersburg, and the great and the high
are now busy in her laudation. Is this
a reason, dear girls, for taking courage

eminent jurist soon recognized in his
witness, who was produced as medical
expert, laboring man, who, some years

try, had been engaged by him as
builder of post-and-r rail fences. With
this cue, he opened his cross-examina-
ton: "You say, doctor" he began, with
great Difference and suavity, "that Jou

"Ohl to be sure, Schudge; me always

Judge bent over in a friendly, familiar
way, "ten MS whether you submitted
