TRIALS OF A TREMENDOUSLY

PLrenology is the science of the spec
ial functions Of the parts of the brain :;
and long since, our town was visited by
a professor of all this.
Between and among a thousand other
calls was one at the house of Martha
McGinn, widow and washerwoman, and
the unhappy mother of ten small child
ren. The whole family met him at the
door, and that worthy saw at glance
what fine field was spread out for
observation. He began:
"My dear madam, | have come at the
right moment. | find you enshrined III
the bosom of your interesting family
You have mission-a noble one; but
permit me to ask if you are acquainted
with the disposion and temperament Of
your precious little ones-that you may
bring them up to be intelligent men and
women. How can you manage to
is it manage ye he's after spanking
aboutl" interrupted Mrs. McGinn.
"Faith it's by lickin' of thin that 1
manage p
The professor sighed, "My dear
madam
Don't yes be after spanking about :"
interrupted Mrs. McGinn. "Faith it's
by lickin' of thin that l manage -
The professor sighed. My dear
madam
Don't yes be after dear madaming
me. " snapped the widow mother eyes
good looking, but iver since Mixes
blarney has been stopped by the grave,
I'll take no other.'
The professor colored, and to hide his
modification he stopped down and car
essed the carroty caranium of the young
est McGinn.
MADAM, allow me to examine this
child's head-I can see that there is
something in it,
eye lie, We spalpeen; there's nothing
in it at all. It's clean 'em 1 did, every
one of 'em, last night!''
The professor forced o arlile and
smothered on impreciation.
Il fear you have misunderstood me,
my dear"
Mrs. McGinn rolled up her sleeves
and squared her gaunt elbows. Then she
spoke again--this time more briefly and
TO the point, ''Git out wild ye."
''And the professor got.
But he first made a pause at the win
dow. Woman, there may ba nothing
in your children's heads, but in yours is
ignorance, stupidity, vice, wickedness
and sin. Good day."

NOT DESERVING OF PITY.

Beggared spendthrifts, TO whom mon
ey has no exchange value but pleasure.
Persons who will persist in dying by
inches with dyspepsia and liver diseases,
when DIR. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are unfailing remedies for these maladies.
Parents who spare the rod and ruin the
child. Fast yonng men and women are
generally spoiled children to begin with
People who suffer from catarrh, when
DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is safe,
reliable, and we'll tested remedy for this
loatnsome disease.
People to marry for money, and find

Women who suffer death every day of
their lives, when DR.. Pierce's FayOrite

painful wearinesses and impart a health
ful tone AMI strength to the whole

People who live beyond their means
and find that style and pride, like every
thing else ii this world, unless placed
upon z secure foundation, are subject to
the law of gravitation.
lnyGilds who DO more toward fostering
disease, by living and sleeping in the
low, unyentilated rooms of the ordinary
house, than the best medicines can ac-
compiish toward recovery, when at a
moderate expense they can secure all
the hygienic and sanitary advantages OF
the Invalids' Hotel at Buffalo, \. Y.
Every physician knows how much recov-
cry depends upon good nursing and the
hygienic conditions of the sick room.
Chronic diseases are especially subject
TO these conditions.

a correspondent of the Visalia CCal.)
Delta furnishes this queer paragraph: !:
"A boiling spring has been discovered
between the Polvadero and Los Gatos
creeks. An ingenious individual has
applied for the water right, and has con-
strueted clothes-wringer, to be run by
a water-wheel at one side of the spring,
where it ho:ls over into another OF clear
cold water, in which the proprietor has
placed sack of indigo. The ranchers
Of the settlement resort to the spring to
do their washing. The clothes are thrown
into the water, which has a whirling
motion, and are drawn in ont of sight.
In about five minutes they come to the
surface, float to the wringer, and are run
through into the other spring, where
they are rinsed by passing through an
other wringer. In less than 30 minutes
the washing is done, and the rancher is
on his way home rejoicing. His happy
wife meets him at the door, hangs the
clothes out to dry, which takes but a
short time, and the washing is done"
THE RELEASED FENIAN.
Daniel Reddin, the released Fenian,
died at kingstown Ireland. Reddin was
sentenced for his connection with the
Manchester affair, and was attacked
while in prison with paralysis. His con-
dltion gave rise to charges of cruelty
against the prison doctors.
VENEZUELA.
HAVANA, March 14.-The last accounts
from Venezuela report the arrival of ex-
President Blanco at Caracas. The prin-
cipal men of all parties offered to sustain
Blanco when the new election for pres
ident occurs. Peace is reestabhshed
everywhere.
ANOTHER INSCRRECTION.
According to accounts from Sefa,
preparations for another insurrection in
Macedonia are III active progress. The
leaders are the bishops OF Sefa and
Ochrida, the Russian chief of police OF
Widin, Bulgarian bandits, Storke and
Petke, two Austrian deserters, two
Bulgarian civil functionarles and an
Englishman named Cooper, who served
Gen. Tchernaieff in Servia. The Turkish
government is perfectly aware of what is
taking measures on the frontier accord
ingly.

HEADING OFF i LAWYER.

Rufus Choate, in an important marine
assault and bate ry-at-sea case had Dick
Barton, chief mate of the clipner ship
Challenge, on the stand, and badgered
him SO for about an hour and at last
Dick got his salt wafer up, and haulad
! by the wind to bring the keen Boston
lawyer under his batteries.
At the beginning of his testimony
Dick had said that the night was dark
as the devil, and raining Ike seven
bells"
Suddenly Mr.. Cboate asked him:
"Was there a moon that nightl'

'Be civil, sir. And now tell me in
what latitude and longitude you crossed

/ sire you to answer me"
| Il shan't.'
"Ah-you refuse to answer. do you?'
''Yes-l can't"
"Indeed, You are chief mate of O
/ clipper ship and unable to answer Sc
simple question:"
Eyes, It's the simplest question eve,
was asked in my life. Why, I thought
every fool of lawyer knew there ain't
no latitude on the equator"
! That shot hoored Rufus Choste.

And here am, you see.
O. Jack. il i awful jolly
Not to be grown UP folks:
They never have fun in the hay-loft,
Laughing and telling jokes.
They can't go hunting for hens eggs.
Or swing the Old barn door,
Or climb this steep old ladder,
And jump like us 70 the floor,
To sit in char is hOrrid,
TO sit on a beam is fun,
And ne don't care if were sunburnCd-
We aren't afraid of the sun.
Just fancy mamma and sister
Rolling about in the hay,
II makes me Iaugh-becauSe, surely,
Their trains" would be in the way.
I heard papa call me "TOm-bOy;'
I'd rather be that, ! declare,
Than 10 sit for another hour
So still in parlor chair.

When | might have been here with you.
And il may be another half hour
Before her visit is through.

interviewed senator Bayard last night.
He thinks the extra session will be short,
and general legislation excluded. Two
appropriation bills viii be passed The
obnoxious war test oatn of 1862 vii be
repealed, which he says. excludes nearly
the entire white population south from
the jury box. Laws will be passed pro
viding for impartial juries, and the
amendment of the Law permitting the
presence of armed forces at elections to
keep the peace, and to repeal those por-
tons of the revised statutes which pro-
vide for the appointment of federal
officials as supervisors of election in the
several states, and of countless deputy
marshals with unlimited power of arrest
with or without process, even while
election is proceeding. Bayard believes
these measures be pressed by the united
strength of will Democrats of both
! houses.
