LITTLE JOHNNY ON WILD ANIMALS

| S3u IdACIScO ArSOn3ub.
There was frog and ephalent, anC
the ephal0nt it said to the frog:
Were wude you be if I wude steT
onto you? ~
The frog said:
You must be mighty big fool if you
think such an act as that would make
me go away"
The ephalent sed he ment wot wude
become of the frog, which thot a while
and then sed, the frog did:
"Well, won't deny that if you done
it purpose, and bore on as hard as YOU
cude, it would make me hoppin' mad"
Then the ephalent made a figger 3 out
of his probuscus, which is their way to
smile, and wocked away like he was
tickled to death, but when tickle Missy,

she was asleep she snoZe and rubbed il

lish, too, on their bottoms.
Mister Pitched, that's the preacher, he
says:
"One time a frog and a hop tod they
met and the frog sassed the hop tOde eos
it was clumsy, but the tode it sed: III
you will come here on this fiat stone,
where we can start even, lie beat you
jumpin', best two out of 81
$50 they done it, and the first time the
tOde it only just cleared the stone, but
the frog ii went up so hi that it hurt it
self coming down, and cudn't Jump no
more at all, and the tode beat it the
other times"
Then Billy he spoke up and sed;
$50 the tode won the RUBBER" and
Mister Pitched he sed: "WIlliam, don't
kno' wot you mean by rubber, COS it's a
word which isn't in the Bible, and is
the speech of the worldly and sinf1e Z;
but, William, it is true that it was ordain-
ed by providence that the tode got away
with the odd game.
Marbles is the game for me; yes, in
deed, but no snatch I'm and tit, tat, to is
mighty good fun too, when get three

And now lie tell you story about a
bear. One day the bear he went among
flock of Sleeps and picked out a nice
little lamb, and cot it and the lamb it
said ba-ba ba! cos it knew it was goin
for to be ct evry little tiny bit up. But
the bear took 1t up IN his fore pos like it
was baby, and set it up full Tenth and
rocked it, and sed:
'There, there, never mind, my preci-
GUS darlin, where does it hurt you?"
But that lamb kept a hOllerin louder
and louder, cos vile the bear was smilin
and singing hush = boy, he was skawee-
Yin liter and liter al The time. Bime
by the old ramb he seen wot was up,
and he dropt his head, the ramb did,
and come up like he was shot out of a
gun and let him have it, and doubled
him up like he was razor, and set him
roolin over and over without any
preshous darlin. And wen the bear had
pulled hisself together again and shuk
the dust out of his hair, he sed:
81 have Obserbed that lambs tails was
quicken lightnin, but l dident know
they was powerfuller, too"
Jest then he seed how it was, for there
stood the old ramb holding down his
his head ready to let him have it agin,
and shaking it, like he sed:
1.-THE little shaver wudent make more
than a mouthful for Teller like you. l
CESS you better serve up the old man"
But the bear he wocked off a shakin

A BABE IN THE WOODS.

The Burlington (Vt) Free Press con-
tains an account of a little girls wander
ings and death in the forests about Rip
ton. Two little girls, the daughters of
Mr.. j. Z. Goodyear, were sent on an er-
rand to a neighbor's house half a mile
away. Returning one of them went by
the road and the other took footpath
through the woods. Julia, who had
gone by the road, returned home safely,
but the other, Bertha, who was only nine
years old, did not appear, and her moth
er becoming anxious started at once in
search of her daughter. Soon finding
that the little girl had wandered from
the path, she gave an alarm, and a small
body of men that constantly received ac-
cessiOns, formed a skirmish line and the
forest was thoroughly searched for about
a mile and a half with no success, ex-
cept the finding of the girls tracks at
two widely separated points. All the
logging roads with which the forest
abounded were closely examined, when
darkness put an end to the search for a
few hours. Reinforcements having ar.
rived, force of over hundred men fol-
lowed the roads by lantern light for an
hour or two, when that failing q halt was
ordered until daybreak, when some hum
dred and fifty men pushed on, determin-
ed 10 ma the little one. They found
tracks following the north branch of
Middlebury river, which flows through
some steep hills in rough rocky chasm
that would appal any but the strongest
nerves from undertaking its descent.
For some mile and half further the
girl was tracked, in which distance she
crossed the branch twice, and having
reached the junction of the stream with
the south fork, she again crossed the
stream, clambered up high, almost per.
pendicular rock, and, overcome by the
excessive exertions of the past few hours,
lost her hold and fell thirty feet to the
rocks and river below, crushing in a
small portion of the skull in the upper
part of her forehead. She was appar
emily instantly killed, and fioaied into
an eddy of shallow water, where she was
found about $50 by the searchers, and
after little delay taken to her almost
distracted parents.

TEN MEMS ESCAPE.
HOW an Engineers' Presence OF Mind
Saved Their Lives.
-iunin

Saved Their Lives.
Virginia, CNev.,) Enterprise.
Yesterday morning at O'Clock, as the
shifts were being changed at the Yellow
Jacket shaft, ten men had narrow es-
cape from death. These men got on
board the small skip at the $500 station
TO go to the bottom of the shaft. They
mad gone but a short distance before the
eccentrics of the donkey engine broke.
and tho skip, with its living freight
started for the bottom atlightning speed.
Z. Mccarthy, the engineer, knew that
the descending skip must be stopped or
all on board would be dashed to pieces
at the bottom of the shaft. He instantly
seized heavy plank, the end of which
he thrust between the pinionshaft and the
reel or drum from which the cable was
paying off. By hauling down on the
end OF the plank it acted as brake, and
finally brought the skip to stand, when
1t was within twenty feet of the bottom
OF the shaft. The drum was revolving
at lightning speed when the plank was
first introduced and the friction pro-
duced streams of fire and smoke, but
the speed of the skip, and finally stopped
it. To thrust the plank into the rapidly
revolving machinery was a dangerous
experiment, and might have cost Mr.,
Mccarthy his life, but he got the right
hold in the start, and held on with bull
dog tenacity. To do the right thing,
just as he did, at the right moment, re,
quired great quickness of thought. The
plank, the place where it was to be in
serted, and how it was to be used, must
all have been thought out in a single in
slant. During the descent of the skip
one man leaped from it and caught the
bell rope, holding to which he managed
to swing himself to a wall-plate. An
other jumped and caught wall-plate,
but lost his hold and fell, but in falling
caught a rod passing horizontally be.
tween the sinking guides, some ten feet
over the skip, where he held on till it
stopped. Thus it will be seen that this
man did some lively travelling. He got
off the skip, and not finding good land
ing place on the wall-plate, he went
down until he overlook the skip, when
he got aboard of it at the point which
seemed most convenient Aside from a
severe shaking up and bad scare, the
men all came out of the scrape about as
sound as when they got into it.

THE BRlGADIERs.

The confederate congress neglected or
omitted to make an appropriation to
pay claims for unsettled balances of pay
and allowances due to Union volunteers.
The accounts have been audited, the ap-
preparation was recommended to con-
gress by the treasury officials, and the
money is sadly needed by many widows
and orphans of dead Union soldiers.
The whole amount in question was only
divided that the lack of it may be the
cause of real want for many. The most
charitable thing that can be said of this
congressional achievement is that it is a
piece of characteristic incompetence

An Astonishing Fact.-A large
proportion of the American people are to-
day d ying from the effects of Dyspepsia or
disordered liver. The result of these dis
eases upon the masses of intelligent and
valuable people is most alarming, making
life actually a burden instead of pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness as
it ought to be. There is no good reason
for this, if you will only throw aside pre-
JUDGE and skepticism, take the advice of
Druggists and your friends, and try one
bottle of Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bot
ties of this medicine have been given away
to try its virtues, with satisfactory results
in every case. You can buy sample bot
tie for ten cents to try. Three doses will
relieve the worst case. Positively sold by

POLITICAL MATTERs.-We neple Ct

POLITICAL MArrERs.-We neglect
ed calling attention last week to the
announcement then made of the can
didacy of Alex. King, of Cumber-
land, for the sheriffalty. Mr.. King
has strong claims upon the democrat
icparty of the county and his friends
hope they will be duly recognized
and thus go q long way to secure
the nomination for very popular
gentleman.
The Nesos says Owen Evans, of this
place, and @. F. McAleer, of West
ernport, are favorably mentioned as
republican candidates for the House
of Delegates. Both gentlemen are
regarded as strong.
The announcement of Henry Hane-
kamp, of Homecoming, as candidate
for Sheriff appearing elsewhere, is the
formal development of what has been
an accepted fact for some time. Mr..
81. is popular with all parties, and if
nominated his friends will make the
contest warm for his competitor.
The republicans of Rawlings dis
trict will present the name of M. A.
Frost to the county convention for
county commissioner. He is life
long and staunch resident of the
county, we'll acquainted with the
needs of the people, and an excellent
business man.
Henry Rehs, Ct Westernport, will
be put forward for commissioner by
his friends. He is republican of
high standing in the party.
P. A. Bier, of Rawlings, will be
supported for the House of Delegates
by his many republican friends.
On the republican side Frostburg,

and N. S. Frost are candidates for
Judges Of the Orphans Court. and
Reuben Anthony for Clerk. In No.

ing for the republican nomination for

FATAL AccIDENT-Large Funeral
Attendancs.-Last Saturday morning
an accident occurred in Koontz mine
which resulted in the death of Pat
rick Cunningham, of Iona coming.
Mr.. @. was walking on the loaded

passed over him, killing him instant

ly respected by his fellow-workmen
and friends. His remains were in
terredin the Barton cemetery Sunday,
Rev. J. O'Brien officiating. The Or
der of Knights of Labor, numbering
FIVE hundred strong of the most sub
stantial citizens of the region, attend
ed, while many others of the order at
different points were debarred from
attendance by want of travelling ac-
commodations. The procession was
very imposing demonstration. Mar
shalled by Mr.. E. B. Jones, everything
was quiet, orderly and appropriate
to the solemn occasion. The person.
ellie of the Order embraced surpris.
ing number of the sober, solid, good
men of the region, and thus attracted

looked with disfavor upon the organ
ization.
