A Very Old. Joke.

Stopping some time at an inn, and feasting on the fat of the land, the fla nous Tyll was importuned by the land lord for payment, and being driven to his wits end, he concocted apleasant scheme for discharging his score. Far and wide he caused it to be announced that foreigner had arrived at such & hostelry with an extraordinary animal, whose head was to be seen where hls tail should be. The sight.seers Hooked to the tavern and when the yard was quite full, and every one had paid his admission fee, the door of the stable was thrown open, and Eulenspiegels horse was seen with his tail in the man. ger and his head where his hindquarters usually stood. The jest was taken ir good part, and every one advised hi neighbors to lose no time in visiting the animal. Tyll was thus enabled not only to pay his host, but to fill his owf pocket. '-.'N , ga. .+[

 An Indignant Dame.

She took the car at Ipswich, on the Eastern Railroad, with ticket for Port land. She was an on cient dame on the down hill side of three score sharp and angular features a considerable beard upon lip and chin; bearing with her a carpet-bag, two parer parcels and a bandbox. She took her seat with 6 staccato movement, and when her lug gage had been arranged, like fortifica- ton, she gave a look around. The look was suggestive. It seemed to say 1" Here am If you don't believe it., just put a finger on me, somebody 1"
 By and by the conductor came along, and asked for her ticket, She handed it to him. He punched it, and gave it back. The punching of the ticket seemed to startle her, but before she could re- mark upon it the conductor had passed on. She gave him 8 look, however, and hen looked at the hole which had been made in her ticket. Evidently she did not like it. -;sss.s .--tus~ -'
 Beyond Portsmouth new conductor had come on. "Ticketsl Tickets r sounded through the car and anon the official extended his hand to our ancient dame. She gave him her ticket, and- snap land another hole. She caught the ticket from him, and was upon the point of exploding, when he likewise, passed on. Two holes in the bright, new ticket It troubled her.
 Beyond Berwick Junction conductor number three came along.
 "Ticket, madam"
 "What dye want of it P''

 She extended it warily, and as he took it, and applied the punch, she exclaimed, with motion of her hand towards the endangered pasteboard

The Mustangs in Texas.

The word mustang is corruption of nest enc, the Mexican name for wild horse. Many years ago there were thousands, no doubt millions, of those animals in Texas. In 1849, and for sev- eral years thereafter, they were numer- ous in the region between the Neuces River and the Rio Grande. They were found further north, but not in such numbers. Immense herds of wild horses could be seen grazing on the pralries. When they saw any one ap- preaching the leader would often move to the front and make reconnaissance. If things did not suit him, he would give his head 8 peculiar toss, wheel, and sound the note of alarm. These demonstrations would be followed. by 8 prompt movement on the part of the herd, sometimes to the front, but more usually to the rear. They would wheel into line, change front, move in line or in column with as much precision and order as cavalry. It was wonderful to witness how we'll they were drilled an d disciplined. In the event a retreat was ordered the leader would move in the rear for a while. If any Jagged or struggled they were very apt to feel his teeth, if not his heels. On some ooca- sions movement to the front was order ed. Itwas a charge in line or in col umn, proudly headed by the leader. This was the case sometimes when mounted men were in sight. The Texas Rangers operating in that country were followed by pack-mules in charge of a guard. It was necessary at times to form hollow square, place the mules inside, and to throw out skirmishers to fire into the animals. If the leaders could be struck, the charge would be broken. The horse would retire at once.
 The mustangs were hunted by Mexi- cans. and the finest ones singled out and lassoed. Whole herds were driven at a run into pens having extended wings, which contracted as they ap- preached the gate. As many as five hundred mustangs have been penned at one $ run." They were sold at almost nothing, five dollars being high price for 8 choice horse. These mustangerE were a wild set, often no better than In dians; some of them were honest, gooi men. They were guilty of many nur' ders and robberies. The Oomanches made many visits to that region. They would pounce upon the mustangers set them afoot or kill them, as caprice dictated, The Comanche wanted thu mustang to ride and to eat. HorseAesl is great delicacy with them. I'm choice part is the fat immediately under the mane. The section in question wa
 very hot in those days for Americans. { Texan was considered an hereditar, enemy by both mustangers and Indians

" Vaseline."

A new product made from petroleum
 is jelly called Vaseline," which is of the greatest utility in medicine, phar- macy and for toilet use. nl Physicians all over the world have discovered It's great valuein the treatment of wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrhs and every ailment where q liniment is need ed, and in almost every hospital in America and Europe this substance is now in constant use, and is acknowl- edged not only to be the best treatment, but also one of the most important re- cent additions to medicine. It is put up in bottles by the Chessbrough Manu- featuring Co., of New York, and as g family remedy, it is without doubt the best in use. It's healing and pain allay- ing qualities being superior to those of any known substance, while the speedy relief it afordafor piles and chilblaina is almost magical. As an emolhent, Vaseine is way ahead of anything else, as it renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, and our lady friends will find it not only the best, but perhaps the sole substance which will really preserve and restore to the complexion the hues of youth, making the cheek like velvet and the skin like satin. The complex ion powders in common use, are, as g rule, injurious to the skin and destruc- tive of any complexion, while Vaseline is entirely healthful and beneficial. There is also made Pomade Vase line," which is said to be of great bene- fit to the hair, keeping it soft and glos. sy, preventing and curing dandruG, and keeping the scalp healthful and free from disease, and from those objection
 able creatures which sometimes find ( dwelling there. Numberless instances are cited of how by the use of this DO made thin and falling hair has resumed . vigorous growth. = Both the pur' Vaseline and the pomade are put up il twenty-five cent bottles and are to b' found at all first-class druggists, and VI advise our readers to make 8 txial of thi
 wonderful substance, and we think the. will find it's claims to merit not in thu least exaggerated. Sunday Times.

HAPPENING ANIMALS.

All animals fatten better in mild weather, or in comfortable winter quar- ters, than when exposed to the inclemsnt season. A farmer, desirous of testing this, commenced with a lot of hogs, averaging 175 pounds each, on the 2Oth of September. He fed them two weeks and then weighad them, and found that, at the price ruling in that market, his corn so fed brought him sixty cents per bushel He weighed and fed them again two of the coldest weeks in November, and found on again weighing that, with pork at the same price, his corn had only brought him thirty cents.
