APPETIZER,

There lives in The Vicinity Of Wooster
down In The wilds Of Wayne County an
ancient veteran Of tho Mexican war who
D known NJ Colonel Gardner. Tho
Colonel has In his declining years sp.
piled himself very steadily to tho task
Of paying of tho national debt, and tho
tax on tho amount Of tangls.foot,
consumed by him in . year materially
augmentS the internal revenue receipts
Of bis district. Ono warm day last
summer, his stock of ardent having
given out, tho old gentleman mounted
his horse and rode to tho village drug
store to rcplenish tho same. The
proprietor Of the pill foundry was absent
at tho time Of his arrival. and tho
assistant was green country boy, whose
knowledge Of the drug business was yet
to bc gained. The Colonel ordered tho
young man to measure him out quart
Of whisky. Tho youth took, down q
large jar, the contents Of which resem-
bfed tho desired article u appearance,
and filed tho bottle, with which tho
Colonel ambled Off home. On tho
return Of tho druggist about ~ hour
later, he took look at his array Of IL
quids, and inquired Of his deputy the
name Of tho person buying 90 much
salphuric acid. II didn't sell any acid j;
the only one in was Colonel Gardner,
who came after some whisky replied
tho boy.
"What jar did you get it from p
shrieked the excited maker Of pills.
'rhat un,' said the apprentice, point.
ing to the nearly emptied jar Of facid.
"Great guns! you've pisoned him.
howled tho drug store man, aud, selling
his hat, shot down tho street toward tho
Gardner mansion like q special dispatch.
On approaching the house he saw the
Colonel sitting on the veranda tanning
himself vigorously, and ruefally survey
ing the charred remnants Of q newspaper
which were scattered about, while the
sweat which p0ured off him formed in
little pools about him.
Hello" gasped the warrior, what
kind Of whisky was that you sold me to.
day, johnson / never see such stuff.
l brought it home and took q couple Of
drinks and sat down here to read tho
paper, and in about five minutes began
to bile, and the next thing, I'm dsrnod
If my breath didn't set the paper aHre;
I'll have to move my custom If you
don't give me better brand. A man
would have to copper line himself to
stand that stuff. .at
Mr.. johnson took what was loft Of
the sulphurio acid and informed the
soldier that he would send him down
better quality Of liquor in return, and
betook himself to his store, msrvoling
at the strength of practiced digestive
organs.-Clercland Leader. t

Perhaps the most remarkable operation
hitherto recorded in the HISTORY Of submarine
teegraphy is that which has Just attended the
work Of the Eastern Telegraph Company's
steamship Chiltern. In 1870 cable was laid
from the coast of Portugal. and recently pre-
serving efforts have been made to graphic and
raise this old cable at Il point where it lay in
2, 900 fathoms of water. The general idea is
that the cable must be rotten after 80 long an
immersion and cannot be Raised, but this ca.
BILE has been successfully brought tn the sur.
face, and was found 10 DO rs good and as strong
as when laid ten years ago. To graphic mere
thread in 1900 feet OF water is triumph
even IN this age.

Eternal Youth,

The mind OF man was never before so active

scorn. Why, 1t IS feeling even for The throne
of God itself 1t holds nothing too sacred to
investigate, and admits OF no limit To its
mighty reach, Mind is so subtle that it can
not explain or comprehend itself And who
