DANIEL WEBsTER's FIRST Plea

DANIEL WEBsTER's FIRST Plea
When Daniel Webster and his brother
Ezekiel were boy on their fathers farm
in New Hampshire, they were greatly an
noyed one year by ravages of the squir-
rels, and traps were set to catch them.
Ezekiel brought the first capture to the
house in triumph, and was, boy like,
eager to kill him at once, as punish
ment for his misdeeds, or to make him
prisoner for life in a cage; but Daniel
would consent to neither sentence he
wanted to set the poor, frightened little
creature free. The dispute waxed warm,
and the boys appealed to their father.
He proposed to hold a court and have
the squirrel tried, Ezekiel appearing for
the prosecution, Daniel for the defense.
This was grand idea. The court was
organized in the family sitting-room,
with the father on the bench. Ezekiel
did his very best. He enlarged upon the
iniquities of the squirrel and the neces-
sity for punishment, and supposed he had
covered the whole ground. But Daniel
rose, his young face lighted with enthu-
siam, and his young heart full of pity
for the helpless creature whose life he
was to plead for. Boy as he was, he
poured out such a flood of eloquent
speech on the beauty and worth of life,
even to squirrel, On the great wrong of
Imprisonment for an unsconscious Of
fense, and on the charm of freedom, that
when he sat down his hearers wiped
the tears from their eyes. The prosecutor
was the first to deliver the little prisoner,
and Daniel and Ezekiel set no more
traps.

smiled very sweetly, and said:
The boy moved cautiously toward the

.And when the cook got pretty close to
him, she whispered:
Mr.. Kroeger, the potatoes are getting

After Years Of Suffering. .

Mrs. Elizabeth Moe, of Salem, N. c.,
writes under date of March 26th, 1878,
that she suffered for many years with
dyspepsia, complicated with neuralgia
The pain was so severe that she could
not rest day or night. Several physi-
clans attended her without benefit, or
even relief. She was considered incura-
BILE. By reading the Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser, she learned that
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, successful
ly prescribed his Golden Medical Dis
covery in such cases. She commenced
its use. The pain gradually subsided
and digestion became more natural. She
persevered, and in few weeks was per-
fectly and permanently restored. Her
case is q wonder to all who know her. In
the face of such testimony, is it not fool
ish to condemn DR.. Pierce's Family
Medicines, simply because some almost
unknown postrum has failed? Suppose
you have purchased shoddy goods of one
or two merchants, is it fair to condemn
all merchants as swindlers, and all goods
as shoddy? Those who once try DR..
Pierce's Family Medicine ever afterwards
speak in their praise.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE
BLIND.-The organ of vision is consid-
cred the most delicate organization of
the human frame; yet many have
been enabled to see by surgical opera
tions, and the following is an interesting
fact concerning one of that class: A
youth had become thirteen years of age
when his eyes were touched by sur
geon. He thought scarlet the most beau
tiful color; black was painful. He fam
cied every object touched him, and he
could not distinguish by sight what he
perfectly we'll knew by feeling; for in
stance, the cat and dog. When his Sec
ond eye was touched, he remarked that
the objects were not so large in appear
ance to this as to the one opened at first.
Pictures he considered only partly COL
ored surfaces, and O miniature absolutely
astonished him, seeming to him like
putting bushel into a pint Stanly,
the organist, and many blind musicians,
have been the best performers of their
time; and a school-mistress in England
could discover that the boys were play
ing in q distant corner of the room in
stead of studying, although a person
using his eyes could not detect the
slightest sound. Prof Sanderson, who
was blind, could in few minutes, tell
how many persons were in mixed COM
pany, and of each sex. A blind French
lady could dance in figure dances, sew,
and thread her own needle. A blind
man in Derbyshire, England, has actual
ly been surveyor and planner of roads,
his ear guiding him as to distance as ac-
curately as the eye to others; and the
late Justice Fielding, who was blind, on
walking into room for the first time,
after speaking few words, said: 'This
room is twenty-five feet long, eighteen
wide and twelve high" All of which

An AfectiOnate Cow.

Mr.. Knox has COW which calved on
the 4th of July, hiding her calf in the
pasture, which is . half-mile from the
barn. The COW was driven home at
night with several others, going quiet
ly along as if nothing had happened,
leaving the calf in the lot. Arriving at
the barn, it was discovered
she had been MIXED, and she was
returned to the pasture, and
q search made for the calf, but to no
purpose. She had it hid and could not
be prevailed upon to reveal its hiding
place. The search was renewed the
next day with the same result. She
would Eos 60 near it when any person
was in the lot, and she was driven home
that night, where she remained until
morning, when she returned to the pas
ture with the other cows. On Sunday
afternoon some twelve or fifteen children
and young folks, having heard of it,
went to the pasture in search of the calf.
The COW all the time watching their
in an unconcerned manner
would not betray its hiding-plac until
one of the party, standing on . rise of
ground, initiated the calf by bleating,
when she started at once down into
hollow among the bushes calling for it,
audit was discovered. The calf was
very much frightened when it saw the
children, and ran OF. They then left
her for q few moments, and she hid it
again IN another place, but this tine it
vas soon found.-Utico On ~ Herald.

Queer Doings Of Odd People.

Odd folks here and there are described
in the newspapers. Roxbury, Mass,
has an eccentric tramp who lives in q
cave during the winter, and spends the
summer in making begging excursions
tn neighboriEg towns. He never says
word, and his dress consists entirely of
old sbootlegs fastened together with
leather strings. A small wagon, drawn
by two goats, and containing q helpless,
shriveled man, attracted attention in
Hagerstown, Md. He said that he had
travelled in that manner for many years,
and called himself "the American Tour
ist." He is entirely helpless. His wife
and, four children accompany him, and
attend to his wants, getting their living
by the sale of temperance song and
other small articles. Jefferson Stevens,
who lives near Sulphur Springs, KY,
concludes that he is gifted with peculiar
powers, of which he lately gave street
exhibition. He held a forked dogwood
switch, like those used by. wizards, in
his mouth, and told the crowd to ask
any questions they pleased. A pair of
'tramps turned up at yiDes Moines, Iowa
Peter Carlisle and wife-who were on
their way to Leadville from the Penn.
sylvania coal regions. They had push
ed a handcsrt all the way, containing
their baby girl and q few Household
utensils. Carson Carr of Noodle, Cal
will on no account walk a step, but al.
ways runs, no matter If the distance is
only few feet; while Mrs. Main of Chi
cago will neither walk nor run, although
physically able to do either, because she
thinks her legs will drop off if she stirs
them. The story comes from Pittsfeld,
Mass, of the discovery of q cannibal,
who for years has lived near that city.
He says that early in life he ran away
from home and went to sea. He was
early shipwrecked on one of the South
Sea Islands, where cannibalism was
practiced and idolatry was the worship
of the natives. How long he remained
there he does not know, but he learned
to enter into their savage rites with
good deal of rzest, and he confesses to
have acquired a taste for cannibalism
