1t was man Mt one of our restau-
rants last Wednesday night He was
sitting at a table digesting that hallu-
cinating dream, that mockery of res
taurant mockeries, modern oyster
stew. Calling the white-aproned darkey
to his his side he pointed down into the
dish and said
Waiter, what is this?
Il beg yah pawdon. sah?" queried the
waiter.
This thing must be investigated. 1t
appears that you have Civ n me an
oyster stew with an oy ster in it. Come,
this is hardly fair. And am stran-
ger, too
Hey" asked the puzzled waiter.
ii repeat, you have given me an oys-
ter stew with an oyster in it. Must |
pay anything extra for the oyster?'
No why
well. that's all right I'm glad of it,"
smiled the stranger, Strengthening up.
only ! don't see how YOU can make
any mnney at that rate. You pay
dollar ~ gallon for oysters aud then sell
stews at sixty cents. Tn IS barely liv-
ing profit whereas if You put an oyster
in the stew well, it beats me how YOU
can afford to do it. | suppose you'll
be putting chicken in chicken salad,
ham in ham sandwiches, and veal IN
veal pie, next Then you'll be so rash
AS to give man clean napkin, besides
putting vinegar in the vinegar castor

A WOman'S Quick Wit.

The part of Tennessee, says news paper correspondent, through which l have been knocked about is full of remi- niscences of the war, but there is none of its bitterness left. In war times the people were greatly divided in their sentiments, and no man could tell t'other from which. This remark re- minds me of story heard yesterday, about an estimable woman of seventy odd, who died two or three years ago, here on the mountains. One day, dur ing the war, when the country was fairly alive with guerrillas, she had occasion to take some valuable goods with her on trip she was making, and put them on her horse back of her. When she had gone some distance in the woods, she heard asquad of guerrillas approaching, and knowing her goods would not be safe for a moment, she straddled her horse man fashion, and throwing her long skirt over the package behind her, completely concealing it. When the guerrillas rode up she was unable tc guess whether they belonged 10 the North or to the South-their uniform being no solution whatever. She deter mined, if questioned, to play bluf game with them, and she soon had { chance to exercise her wit. "Hello ? called one of the guerrilas. Hello !! she returned. "What side are yo1 on ?" he challenged. She laughed
 good laugh at him as she replied, kick ing out her feet, "On both sides, o course can't you see?" This brough roar from the whole squad, and the, began to banter her in her own fashion
 (Which side is your old man on |? asked one of them. "He's on neithe side," she laughed "he's on his back and has been for years" Such wi saved her, and they let her pass unme

How to Treat SunstrOke.

The treatment of the premonitory symptoms of sunstroke consist in the individual withdrawing himself from the influence of the direct rays of the sun, and in keeping his head cool by the frequent application of cold water to it. This, added to the quiet and rest of few days, will soon remove all the unpleasant enecis produced by the in- tense heat of the sun. The means used for the treatment of an actual attack, are fortunately very simple, and easily applied in any place, and readily pro- cured in almost every locality. The sufferer should be placed at once in 8 cool and comfortable position, with his head on level, or @ little lower than his body. Pitcherfull after pitcher full of cold water should be freely poured upon the forehead and allowed to run over his face, and this operation should be diligently continued until evidence of restoration is manifested. Mustard plasters should be at once applied to the wrists, ankles and over the stomach. The effort to introduce fluids into the stomach usually gives rise to vomiting, which is no disadvantage, and as soon as the patient is able to swallow, how. ever imperfectly, his restoration may be confidently expected in 8 period of ar hour, or varying to six hours. It ii thus seen that sunstroke is not only evident in it's approach, but wei marked in it's character, and that any one can apply the simple and conve nient means which are adopted for it cure. In waiting the arrival of physi clan some time usually passes, and thi' time frequently makes all the difference between life and death. Therefore when an individual is sunstruck," h. should at once have the remedies uset for his restoration /; and any one of hi
 companions can place him in 8 favor able position, pour cold water upon hi
 head, and continue this treatment unti
 the physician arrlves.

A Trial by Jury.

Perhaps the oldest instance of trial by jury is one narrated of the Superior Court, New York. At the close of the week cause was called when, behold, one juror only was remaining in attend ance of the whole number summoned i; all others had served or shown exemp- tions. He was told to take h1s place in the kjury-box. He had previously ex- hausted all efforts and excuses to avoid serying, and naturally was not at all plesed at being caught ID this way. Hs claimed the entire routine, heard the speeches and the Judges charge, and then gravely said to the court that s'the jury desired to retire." Retire he did, and remained "out' so long that the Judge passed an order for sealed ver- diet. Next morning court was opened, tho sealed envelope broken, and the verdict produced; it read :" The jury cannot agree. :, -.--.--. 3. =-s-,

Here the whole joke burst on the

Here the whole joke burst on the minds of the gentleza en present, who fell into loud fit of laughter. After the tumult had little subsided says the judge, mildly, "Did I chop wood to pay for my breakfast?" "Indeed you did, says she, "and said you had no money" "I told you the whole truth, " says the judge, "but I have beautiful shawl worth more than $1O, which I just now bought, and will leave it with you in pawn if you will only let me eat din- ner with these gentlemen" Here the gentlemen were biting their lips to keep from laughter. "How did you buy 8 shawl worth, more than BIO without money ?" (. I bought it on credit, says he. "And where did you find credit to that amount?" says she. "I brought It from houe," says he. "That is a likely story, and something like your abuse of Judge Crane this morning, y said she. "How could I abuse the judge if he were not present ?' said he. "Why," says she, "you called him a rusty, fusty old fudge, and an old cod ger, and said you did not care rye straw more for him than youF did for yourself" And here the whole com pany were in an uproar of laughter again. But as soon as it little sub- sided, one of the gentlemen asked the landlady how she knew that the gentle man she was addressing was not Judge Crane ? "He Judge Crane P said she; Che looks more like snipe than 8 crane P
 Here the loud laughter burst forth a third time. And after little pause the judge said, "I must confess that I am not bird of very fine feathers, but l assure you that am a Crane, and a crane is often very useful instrument; saw a very good one in your kitchen this morning sometimes an instru- ment called crane is of incalculable use, madam" Before she had time to reply, some of the gentlemen with whom she was acquainted assured her that she was talking with the presiding judge. Astonished and confounded, she attempted some excuse, and hastily asked his pardon for her rudeness.
 The Judge had by this time, unob- served, taken from his pocket the beau. tiful shawl, and folded it at full length one way, and in 8 narrow form the other, and it being of a very fine tex ture, appeared more like an elegant sash than like valuable shawl. When he arose, with graceful dignity and with half smile advanced few steps toward the landlady, saying, "It is not my province to pardon, but it is my business to judge; and I judge that you and I shall hereafter be friends-and l judge also that you will, without hesita- tion, receive this as present, if not as a pawn" So saying, he gently laid it over her shoulders and across her arms, saying: "Take it, madam, and do not attempt to return it, for it was purchased on purpose as a present for you." She hastily retired in confusion, hardly knowing what she did, and took with her the shawl, worth SIP instead of $1O.
 And here were three parties who had each two good things. The landlady had good shawl, and good lesson to mediate upon-the gentlemen had a good dinner and good joke to talk over and the Judge had good intentions in the joke, and good will and ability to follow no the lesson given,

WHAT A VERDICT MEANT.-One Fourth of July night an American in London let off some rockets, and the sticks fell into the garden of a neighbor. Neigh bor's wife was sitting in the garden and either the rush of the rockets when they ascended or the crash of the sticks when they fell, frightened her into chronic hysteria and neuralgia. Lawsuit; in which the jury assessed the damages at one farthing. The plaintiff complained to the Queens Bench of this verdict as absurd. But the Judge said that the meaning was clearly this "We cannot say that in strict law the plaintiff had no right to complain, but the case is so small and contemptible that we give a verdict for farthing."
