A Good Joke on a Lawyer.

An honest German laborer was passing
along the street day or two ago, when
a small dog rushed out of a yard and bit
him on the leg, tearing his pants and
leaving the print of his teeth in the calf.
The German hastened to a lawyers Office
and asked the barrister if he could not
sue the owner of the dog for damages
The lawyer agreed to take the case and
made propositions for filing a suit for
$4,000 damages, alleging that the dog
was ferOcious animal, and that plain
tiff's flesh had been terribly lacerated,
necessitating the expenditure of large
sums for medical attendance and for a
new pair of pants. The client was
directed to go to the house of
the owner of the dog next day,
make demand of $4,000,
and ascertain the name of the defendant.
He called at the house early the next
morning and asked for the "boss" He
was somewhat surprised when the law
yer presented himself as the owner of
the little dog. The lawyer was no less
surprised to learn that his black and tan
was the cause of the trouble, and he in
formed the client that suit would not
be maintained, as the injury done was
mere trifie, and the dog was only in fun.
The result of the conference was that the
lawyer gave the client 60 cents to pay
for patching his pants, ,and took receipt
in full satisfaction of all claims for dam
ages. Both parties were spared the
trouble of trying vexatious and costly
damage suit st. Louis Democrat.

Infringement o a Boot Patent.

Buckingham & Hecht, saws the San
Francisco Chronicle, have brought a suit
in equity against Porter, Oppenheimer,
Slusslnger q Co. for the infringement of a
patent in the manufacturing of boots. 1t
is claimed by the cOmplainants that on
the 2lst of May, 1873, VIM. Il. Miller and
Miller r. Creighton, of Baltimore, Mary
land, were the inventors of the patent,
and obtained letters patent therefor on
the ODD of April, 1879. Subsequently, the
above inventors, by regular claim of as
signment made in writing, conveyed to
the plaintiffs the letters patent and all
rights and liberties by them conferred.
In the face of this state of affairs it is
claimed that the defendants, disregarding
the exclusive right of the complainants,
have manufactured and sold boots, eacn
of which contained the improvements
and inventions described in the said let
ters patent. In conclusion, the complain
ants ask decree enjoining the defendants
by an injunction from using the patent.
The court is likewise called upon to assess
the damages sustained by the plaintiffs
IN the premises by reason of the alleged
infringement.
Patrick Kelly has fled similar bill in
the same court, says the San Francisco
Bulletin, against the same defendants, to
recover damages for infringements of a
patent on an invention by plaintiff cou-
sisting in the combining in the upper
part of CATERS front part of leather, a
middle part of elastic material and back
part OF leather, so arranged that the upper
part OF gaiter resembled a short boot
leg. Plaintiff also prays for an Injunction
restraining the defendant from using such
invention.

Love AT FIRST SIGHT.-An almost in
credible romance has happened in Wis
eonsin, and if it had not been vouched
for by so reliable authority as the
Racine Journal, it would be rejected al
together. The story, as the Journal
tells it, is that a resident of Racine
named Johnson who has roamed through
this world for about thirty-five years,
having never met the choice of his
heart, was walking up Main street, when
he was met by buxom looking country
girl and some friends. He was not ac-
quainted with the girl, but introductions
soon followed; she blushed and he was
confused, and there was no getting
around it, it was case of love at first
sight. They talked earnestly for about
half an hour, the friends having de-
parted. They soon parted with kiss,
she going north and he going south. In
the course of two hours both made their
appearance again on Main street, dressed
up in fine style. They kissed again and
she took his arm and they walked of, and
at o'clock were united in marriage. He
made her acquaintance, popped the
question and married her inside of three
hours.

ERIN.
ISABELLA wooLNER.

Erin, dear Erin, tits a sad sight TO see
The wild desolation that has spread over thee;
No corn waves its stately heads over thy plain,
Thy fields are uugarnered- Thy hopes seem IN
vain.
OH dark are the clouds of despair that hang DER
thee
Heart-rending the cries Of the loved ones around
thee.
Alas! our poor country lies bleeding and fallen
In her streets, in her halls, the strife is appal-
ing.
Ny own native island where e'er | may be,
I'll love thee, I'll cherish thee, Gem of the Sea
oh! Erin, l weep for thy SORROWS and pain!
Surely for thee, viii bright days come again.
Dear "Island of Destiny shall eeF l see
Thy beautiful hills or tread on the lee,
Where the wild flowers bloom and the heather
bells blow
Hard hard! TO bear in the sight of thy woe.
Thy harp is now silent, its cords rent in twain
But its music shall swell on the breezes again.
May the sound of its wailings awake into life
The hard hearts that caused all this blood-shed
and strife.
Upl Sons of Erin from your lethargy-Arise
Hear YOU not your poor country's despairing
wild cries?
Stretch your hands to your down trodden
brothers;
Bring joy to the hearts of the desolate mothers

The American Mutual Aid Association
for unmarried persons is new institution
that is deservediy attracting attention.
An agency has been established at Port
land under the charge of Mr. A. s. Gross,
who will send circulars and answer ali
letters of inquiry. 1t is capital means
of providing for those who wish to enter
the marriage state and can be taken ad-
vantane of by the youth of either sex.
A young lady with policy in the asso-
citation of $4,000 would be a prize that
would be much sought after. Mr. Gross
is issuing great many policies and those
who contemplate marriage should write
to him for information in regard to that
system of insurance.

A SMOKING EooNoMIsr.-A Connecti-
cut man has invented breech-loadinp
pipe which can be discharged and re.
loaded without being relighted, and
saves a vast amount of time and matches
and yexation of spirit. The inventor
calculates that the average smoker fills
his pipe twelve times day, averaging
six minutes each time-causing loss of
seventy-two minutes per day, or eight
hours and twenty-four minutes per
week, or eighteen days, four hours and
forty-eight minutes per year. At this
rate. p erson who smokes for fifty years
viii waste nearly three of them in load
ing and unloading his pipe. The inven-
tor estimated the number of pipe
smokers in this country at 900 600 and
that each pipe-hghting requires an aver
age expenditure of fourteen matches,
which is equal to the destruction of So
400, 900, 900 matches per annum.

Fried Cakes. when properly made.
need not be looked down upon by people
who disapprove of lard. Take one cup
of sugar. one cup of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful of soda or saleratus, two tea
spoonsful of cream of tartar, two eggs,
three teaspoonsful of lard; flavor with
cinnamon or nutmeg; half teaspoonful
of ginger may be added. if desired. Beat
the sugar and lard together till light.
then add the well beaten eggs, mix the
dough as soft as you can, and then roll
it out nicely; put in little flour at
time till the dough is stiff enough. Have
the lard in which the cakes are to be fried
very hot. 1t is taken for granted that
the lard is as clear and sweet as You can
get Before putting any of the cakes into
it take bit of the dough and drop in to
test its heat; if it rises to The top instantly
the lard is hot enough. Then put in a
few of the cakes at time; watch them
closely, and turn them over without
piercing the cake with the fork or what
ever You use to turn them with.

A Cow in a We'll.

Mr.. WIN. Buffers coy fell in q
well at Aspen Hill last Wednesday
night. Our informant says that 1t
occurred during the exercises OF the
singing school, but he did not say
that the singing did it. She may have
been electrified by the concord OF
sweet sounds, and was doubtless at
tempting to trip the light fantastic
hoof and thus became daZed; and
remembering the couplet that ad-
vises jewellers to drink deep of the
Piersan Spring, she concluded q
well would answer as well and so
started dqyn for dIaught. The
poet didn't reeom4ep9 which end
went foremost, however, and so our
kline friend happened to advance
hack " ard into her fancied summer
resort. and realizing her mistake
before she commenced to imbibe its
innocuous draugdt, che concluded
to lodge half way down, and iodg-
ing she stuck, and sticking she bel
loved. Strange to say. the people
we're aroused by the believing, not
withstanding the singing sGhool was
in full blast, with blue streaks of
melody streaming out the windows
and rsvishing delugs Of enchanting
lava threatening to engulf the vii
lage and stifie its denizens with i'm
moderate harmony. They rushed to
her rescue and soon her dangerous
exploit was as q tale that was told,
aud also as q tail that was pulled.
They got her out by one horn and
her dilemma and she walked of as
placidly as il she had been to fu
neral in q free bus, and in two min
utes BY the town pump she had bit of
the only tuft of grass in three miles
of the citation. Her tail hung along
behind her like the drag rope of a
balloon, but it pops every few min
utes now like bones coming together
and is assuming its normal length.
They have covered up the well and
doubtless posterity will fna it and
think they have struck mineral va
ter-and who can tell the cures that
may be effected! We pause to hear
from DOsteritV.

There is not enough to waste nor

abundance that our hills and valleys
