fate of those who have given balls earlier In the seasen. and did not pay expenses, is something to brag of.
 The death of Mr. John Collins, who passed away last ThhrsdaY morning. was a sad affiiction to his wife and other nasr relatives and friends. He had been un- we'll for several months, but did not take to his bed until Tuesday of the same week that he died. He was 31 years old, His funeral took place last Sunday after noon, from his late residence on Beaver street, and was attended by large num- Der of friends. Rev, Vim. Brown con- ducted the services. The deceased was a member of the Bethel Hat Finiahers Association, and his remains were escort ed to the cemetery by the members of the association. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearsrs: George Fry, l. II. Squires, Willie Kyle, Andrew fatehen. Frederick Mackenzie, Jr., Stewart Kyle. Mr. C0llins worked in the shop of G. A. Hickok i Son. and by his shopmatss and ali who knew him was highly esteems cd.
 N. B. Corning promised Chas. H. Frost, who WAS already tn. father of four boys. that he would give him bushsl of rye right" said Charles. and the iokss. Mir. Corning, forgot all about the matter until a few days ago, when Charlie called and, knocking at the door. asked Mrs. Corning for Air. c. He was not in, and Mrs. Corn Ing, wishing to know the importance of the call, inquired Charlie told her the story. and Lrs. C.. who likes joke. told him to call at S.30 and Mir. Corning would be in. Charlie did 50 and found Ar Corning home, and asked him for the rye. Mir. Corning promptly sent the rye the next day. They tell another good one on Corning that has never appeared In print. It is as follows: MT. Corning, several years ago, used to most with our present warden, Geo. Nj. Cole, just as Mr. Cole was going home to dinner, and MT. Corn ing would invite him In. Afr. Cole would decline with thanks, but Mir. Corning would insist, "Oh. you better come 1T and have some oysters, roast beef. tur
 key" 6c., whatever he knew hs would have that day for dinner. Warden Col'
 bore It patiently for about three years
 and then suddenly walked into MT Corn
 ing's house and took dinner. and iron
 that day to this Corning has never sai'
 dinner" to Warden Cole once, Thos'
 who know Mir. Corning best say thst
 you want to shorten one of his jokes al
 you have to do is to sit down on him al at once.

The firm makes . speciality of the collection of county and city bonds and the interest on the same. We do not know of any legal firm in the city whom we can more cheerfully recommend to the public thsn that of Courtnay. Caldwell < Northrop. They are gentlemen with whom it Is pleasure to become acquaint- ed. and stand high In their profession.

vICE-PREsIDENT ARTHUR.

1t is all wrong to be abusing Vice-Presi-
dent Arthur before he has been tried either as
Vice President or President. Sad indeed would
be the death of MI Garfield, and every true man
in the land would regret IT. but so far as admins
tering the Government is concerned, we do not
believe that the public interest would suffer by
the installation of Mr.. Arthur as President True,
he has been politician; and, 1t may be, wire
working politician; but SO have many other men
been such, and who are now worshipped by their
constituents and applauded rs honest, we'll mean
ing men. lfProvidence should so order 1t that
Mr. Arthur becomes President, let us give him n
fair trial, hold up his handsby encouraging words,
and not find unnecessary fault with the man or
the circumstances lie has been lawyer merchant
manufacturer, farmer, politician &c, and cer-
tainly must know great deal about human ma
ture, men, things ana public affairs, and is capa
BILE Of knowing what is right and doing right in u
high station. For one we have no gloomy fore
bodings, feel no dscouragement about the welfare
of the country, and are ready to accept without
anxiety, what may now seem unpropitious occur
rences. Do your best and hope for the best. If Mr.
Arthur becomes President let him be judged by
what he does, and not by what he has done or lert
undone. He is strong Republican, of course, but
he is better man than some people represent him
to be.-ChdriOte IN C) Democrat.

Tho Eastish Joke.

The average English joke has its pecu-
liarities A sort OF mellow distance. A kind of
ohastened reluctance. coy and timid, yet
trusting, though evanesccnt intangbillty which
soly fingers IN the troubled air. and luls the tired
senses to dreamy rest, fse the subdued murmur
Of hoarse jackass about nine miles up the gulch.
lie must be hardened wretch indeed who has
not felt HIS bosom heave and the scalding tears
steal down his furrowed cheek after he has read
an English joke. There can be no hope for the
man who has not been touched by the gentle,
pleading, yet all potent sadness embodied in the
humorous paragraph Of the true Englishman.
One may frittcr away his existence in
chasing the follies Of our day and generation and
have naught to look back upon but choice as
sortment of robust regrets but If he will stop in
his mad career TO read an English pun his atten-
ton will be called to the solemn thought that life
is after all but fearful journey TO the tomb.
Death and disaster ON every hand may fail to turn
the minds of thoughtess world to serious mat
ters, but when the London funny man grapples
with particularly skittsh and evasive joke, with
its weeping willow attachment, and hurls 1t at a
glddy and reckless humanity, a prolonged wall Of
anguish goes up from broken hearts and sombrc
pail hangs in the gladsome sky like pair OF
soldier pants with only one suspender.-Bm Nye

REMARKABLE EYES.
ono n Telescope and the oihcr Micro
acOpe.

Last winter Litchfield Conn girl of
sixteen went riding on cold day Returning home
she complained that her eyes pained her They
grew worse, aud she was obliged to stay In dark
room. A few days ago she felt something coming
out Of her eyes She helped II out with her hands.
Her eyes felt better at once. and her sight was
recovered Now comes the strangest part of the
story. Six months ago the girls eyes straight
ana natural now the girl is oross-eyed, but she
pays no attention TO that She secs things just the
same as she always did, but let her close her
right eye and look out Of her left eye and she
can see distance Of eight or ten miles and
distinguish things as well as any ordinary person
can at sixty rods away. She Is able TO look
clear to the lake, distance Of three and half
miles, and identify any one, describing their
dress even The distant hills are brought close to
her, and she can see the farmers getting in the
hay, even counting the number Of heaps which In
an air line are seven miles from her. To test her
field glass was used, and her sight would far out
reach any object that could be seen with the glass
II she closes her LEFT eye and looks out Of the right
then she cannot see anything except close to her,
but that eye is perfect microscope. She is able
to distinguish things that the natural eye cannot
see. The point OF needle looks as blunt as a crow
bar, and 1t is wonderful TO hear her describe the
beautiful colors of flies and other insects To her
the hairs persons head look as large ms darn
ing needles, and in the finest piece of linen she
can count the threads us easily as one can count
bean poles. The moment she opens both eyes they
assume the cross-eyed expression or shape, and
then she sees again as any other person. II is the
intention Of her father to take her TO New York at
no distant day to let some of the celebrated ply
sicians see this wonderful phenomenon. The girl
herself is very bright pretty girl but very timid.

PhiIndeIphtnns Abroad.

One meets more Phiadelphians here
than In former seasons, and they behave just as
Philadelphians do when away from home. Two
men who have known each other by sight and
name for twenty years will meet in n hotel a hun.
dred or a thousand miles away aud pass each
other twenty times a day for month without ex-
changing word or a nod, although each knows
the other perfectly well. Spring Garden street
turns up its at Spruce street, and the belle Of
North Broad street will toss her pretty head dis
dainfully rs she passes another belle, whose only
misfortune is that she lives on Walnut street.
while the latter will stare in stony way and an
swer, II asked about her pretty neighbor at the
dinner table: 81 have not the least idea who she
is; presume she comes from up town." VIII
