ACLoWN's RIDE.

One night French circus rider-one
of the famous Franconi family-was
iourneying between Perigord and Bor-
deaux, when news reached him that his
wife, who was at some distance away,
was dying. At any price he must have
a horse, but none was to be found. Fin.
ally, however, he heard of horse, but
was informed she was wicked brute,
whom no one can ride-he will kill you. "
Franconi laughed and said: eve will
see about that; bring him out" He vaul-
ted on the animals back, pressed his
knees into it's sides, and soon mastered
its struggles. Then, through the night,
along the highway, standing on the back
of the horse, as though in the circus
ring, the famous ecuyer passed through
the country, his hair blowing in the wind
and beating time with his feet as he
shouted to the frighted beast, Hoop a
Ia, hoop la!" as though he was doing
his great act before crowded house il
Paris. The peasants of Perigord who
that night heard the wild galloping Of
the horse, and who ran to the door to SEE
what they imagined to be the devil pas
sing them, will not to this day believe il
was clown fastening to the bedside Of
his diving wife,

A MISCHIEVOUS PARROT.

An anecdote illustrates the sense of
humor which some parrots seem to pos
sess. Opposite the residence of Polls
owner, there were some buildings in
course of erection, and the men at the
top of the scaffold were in the habit of
calling to those below for such material
as they wanted. "More brick!" "More
mortar" and so on.
In very short time. Polly had these
terms by heart. as well as the gruff tones
in which they were uttered. No sooner
did the Irish laborer relieve himself of a
load than the everlasting cry "More NOR
tar!" assaiIed his ears.
He bore it with exemplary patience till
the mortar board at the top of the scat
fold was piled up; but once more the
order for "Mortar-more mortar" was
given.
Then, to the delight of the parrot s
master, who was standing by, the Irish
man flung down his hod, and making a
speaking trumpet of his hands, bawled
to the bricklayer above

A REMARKABLE CASE.

Macombe. ILL.,, Oct. IA special
gives the following remarkable history
occurring at Battle Creek, this state.
Just one year ago Mrs. Nellie Ingram
OF this city, who had been suffering from
severe neuralgia in the teeth concluded
to have one of her molars extracted, and
accordingly repaired to the Office of a
dentist, Mr.. n. Merritt, for that purpose.
She was then enjoying the best health
and weighed $50 pounds. The tooth
was very troublesome one and was in
firm and fast, and the pain she endured
from its extraction was so excruciating
as to excite her nervous system to such
degree that she experienced shock of
nervous prostration which ended in par
alysis of the stomach. A carriage was
called, and she conveyed to her home in
a precarious condition. She suffered
several days with cramps in the bowels.
When she attempted to eat food it re-
fused to remain on her stomach and pro-
duced most violent retching pain, SO
that she was obliged to give it up. 1t
soon became apparent to her physicians
that she could not keep alive without
means of nourishment, as not particle
of food passed her lips. Injections were
therefore given her and life had thus
been prolonged for year by the process
of absorption of food by the walls of the
intestiness, baths of beef tea. milk, etc.,
with an occasional bath of alcohol to keep
the pores open. She has thus lived II
months, not particle of food passing
her lips, life being supported entirely
this way. When she is hungry, both
milk and beef tea or injections of the
same satisfies her appetite the same as
though eaten in the usual way, but al
though this rather thin diet keeps her
alive it does not prove very fattening, as
it reduced her weight in this time from
$50 to about 70 pounds, or at the rate of
over two pounds week. She can OBJ
tain only two or three hours sleep night
ly, and that towards morning when the
vitality of the body is very low.

A SHARP VERMONT DODGE.

A st. Adams gentleman whom | had
questioned about the working of the
liquor law, told me just as | was told in
all other parts of the state. that there
was no trouble in procuring whisky. He
said:
81 am in very funny secret, which
is shared by most of our citizens who
like glass of stimulant occasionally
Come with me.
He took me to cross street, and we
entered room which appeared to be
cigar store, with confectionery. etc. We
took seat at the rear and my friend told
me to keep my eyes open.
Within twenty minutes [ saw ten or
twelve gentlemen come in, some in pairs,
some singly, some in little parties, go in
to the water cooler, take drink, buy
cigar and go out.
My friend finally asked me if 1 had
seen any liquor sold, and said "no."
Nevertheless, said he, "every man
who came in took drink of whiskey and
paid for it.
"Well," said I, "the drink must have
been in the cooler OR the cigars. 1 know
ii was not in the cigars, for most of them
were lighted before the purchaser left.
1t must be in the cooler
"Well, go and draw some," said he.
I went to the cooler, held the glass
under the nozzle and pressed down the
button. Twas rewarded for my exertions
by flow of clear, cold water that soon
filed the tumbler. I was puzzled and
my friend and the proprietor greatly
enjoyed it.
My friend took the empty glass and
drew from the same faucet half a glass
of whisky. If / was puzzled before 1
was now thunderstruck, and after laugh
ing at me for while the trick was ex-
planned. It was simple. Press down
the button and water runs; press up with
the thumb from below while you appear
to press down with the fore6nger, and
you get whiskey; open the cooler and
you find it full of ice water.
The whisky comes from cask in a
hidden closet up stairs, and frows thro'
small pipe which descends in the par
tltion, and connects with the faucet.

A TRUE CAUSE FOR REGRET. makes
the heart of every philsnthropist sad to
see so many worthless patent medicines
pulled and advertised for the cure of
chronic diseases. Usually the remedy is
some vile cathartic compound or alcohol
ic preparation, combined with buchu.
turpentine or other severe diuretic that
affords the invalid only temporary relief
but which has no lasting effect, and in
truth eventually brings on a compiled
ton of diseases arising from state of
wornout and exhausted digestive and ur-
mary organs that nothing but death can
relieve. Invalids should trust more to
nature for their recovery. A gentle med
icinal tonic that stimulates enfeebled di-
gestion and strengthens every part of the
system by its soothing and refreshing
effect on both mind and body, is natures
truest and best assistant. Such a rem
edy is Browns Iron Bitters, medicine
surprising the sale of all other remedies
whenever its merits become known, for
it acts in such perfect harmony with the
law of life and health, that all pulmonary,
urinary and digestive troubles are pre-
vented and permanently cured By its
timely use. 1t contains no alcohol, and
will not blacken the teeth. Physicians
ana ministers endorse and recommend
it.

FARMERS ACCOUNTS
From the II. 7. Observer.

From the II. Y. Observer.
There is probably no class of men who
live more strictly according to their
means, and who more uniformly make
than farmers. But there are compare
tlne) y few who are as strict in keeping
the ir accounts as those who are engaged
I'D mercantile or mechanical business.
and yet there is no reason why they
. should not be as systematical in recor
ding their incomes and their outgoes as
any others. As one of the least weighty
considerations, it would afford an inter
esting occupation for occasional leisure
| moments and an interesting matter of
review at The close of season or of tho
year. But in an economical point Of
view the advantage would be much greater
If every one who has farm or a garden
were to put down not only the amount
of his expenses from day to day, but
separately, what he expends upon par
lcular crop, or upon a particular field
or tract of land, be it large or small, and
on the opposite side of the balance sheet
the returns In product and in money Of
what he raises; and if this were done in
connection with every crop and each
one of his fields separately, it would
enable him at a glance to determine on
what portions of his place, or on what
part cular crops, he could lay out his
mo ney and his labor to the greatest pc
Gu niary advantage.
One of the chief hindrances to success
III any branch of business is a want of
sly stem, and keeping an accurate account
of expenditures and receipts would at
once be followed by systematic results.
The present season of the year is a good
time for each one to lay his plans III this
respect, to prepare his books, and so to
be prepared for more systematic pro-
secution of the work of the year. Those
who have adopted the plan of keeping a
minute record of all their operations have
found it to be not only a source of great
profit and we recommend the plan to all,
whether their business is on q large or
small scale.

GRAPESHOT IN THE SEA SAND.

Several days ago, while fishing with a
party of friends off Cummings Point,
Major Mansfield, of the postoffiee de-
partment, found a human skeleton wash
ed up on the sand. 1t is supposed to
have been the remains of some soldier
who fell at Battery Gregg during the
war, whose resting place had been rude
ly disturbed by the encroaching waves.
The skeleton was reinterred. Major
Mansfield also gathered quite number
of shot and shells near the spot where
the old battery stood, bayonet almost
eaten up with rust, a Parrot shell with
the charge still in it, and an assortment
of grape and canister, terrible witnesses
of the scene transporting in our historic
harbor nearly twenty years ago. 1t is
said that when the tide is low grapesho'
can be gathered in the sand at this point
by the bushel.

A COUPLE living in the vicinity of Nc
Gregor are in despair. They were lately
married at Prairie du Chen, and the
justice promised to send them their cor
tifcate by mail in few days. 1t never
arrived: The justice, it seems, made a
memorandum on slip of paper of their
names and the names of the witnesses.
This he laid on the desk and his clerk
cleared it off into the waste-basket, or it
blew out OF the window and cannot be
found. He does not remember their
names nor they his, and they can't find
each other. A rag dealer finding such a
slip with names will be literally reward
ed. People get married loosely over the
river.-McGregor Ne,os.

NOTABLE BELLs.-The history of the
bells of st. Michael's church is interest
ing. They were imported from England
in 1854, and when the British evacuated
Charleston in 1882 they carried the bells
with them to England; they were return
ed to Charleston, however, in the follow
ing year, aud relapsed to the belfry. In
1861 they were removed to Columbia for
safety, but in Sherman's march through
that city they were SO much injured by
fire as to be entirely useless. In 1866
they again took voyage to England to
be recast, which was done by the sue.
cessors of the firm that had made them a
hundred years before, and from the same
patterns. They were replaced in the
steeple in 1867, and no stranger visits
Charleston without being charmed by the
Ginning of these old bells, which ring
out every quarter of an hour.

For colds, coughs, asthma, in short for
any and all arrangements of the lungs or
respiratory organs, or for any complaint
tending toward consumption, nothing is
so reliable as Ayers Cherry Pectoral. In
all ordinary cases it is certain cure, and
it affords sure relief even in advanced
