COUGH AT OXFORD.

The students at Oxford, England, are
a rough and bullying set, and they are
accustomed to interrupt any speaker who
attempts to address them. John B. Cough
had tilt with them some years ago, the
particulars of which are thus given:
\ few evenings before, an eminent man
WAS to have delivered 4 lecture at Oxford
(England) on the Evils of Tobacco.
The boys got into the hall an hour before
hand, each with what Dir. Carroll drolly
emphasized as college pipe in his
mouth. The time for the lecture az
rived, but if the lecturer did, it was never
discovered-he was not visible through
the fog. The students sent word to Mr..
Cough when he came, that they wouldn't
have any temperance, and advised him
not to persist in lecturing. But he went
to the hall. For twenty minutes he spoke
in pantomime amid the dcafening cat
calls of the boys.
Finally he stepped forward, demanded
British fair play, and offered to whip
every one of the five hundred singly.
This offer was loudly cheered and prompt
ly accepted and a big six-foot athlete WAS
sent upon the stage. Cough, who is
little man, backed off as the big fellow
approached him, and explained: my
This is to be an intellectual contest, not
a prize fight The students cheered
again at this evidence of the Americans
shrewdness, and ordered the debate to
proceed. The college lad was, there
fore, obliged to tackle the temperance
champion. He was at disadvantage,
but he quoted Scripture, and reminded
the plucky lecturer that it was one of the
apostles who wrote to Timothy-a young
man, too. like themselves-to take lit
tie wine for his stomachs sake and for
his other intirmities. The lads shouted
vocilerously at this, and wanted to know
how Cough could get around it.
Cough slowly examined the siX-footer
from top to toe, and then said My
friends, look at this athlete. this fellow
with muscles like steel, who can WELD
the club of Hercules, who can bend an
English yeoman's bow. who could knock
down an OK with the blow of hammer
He is the per>oniiication of health and
strength, but he thinks he needs little
wine for his stomach $ sake"
Coughs lnimitable manner of saying
this had a tremendous effect. The STU
dents fairly yelled with delight, and their
defeated champion retreated. Another
was sent up. lie WAS the intellectual
giant of his class, in contradiStinction to
the Six-footer. He, with much self-con-
tidence. made Il finished argument for
liquor drinking. based on Christ's chang
ing the water into wine at the wedding
feast. His comrades cheered him to the
echo. and thought this argument unan.
swerable, and Cough was chatfed for his
defeat. Young men" said he. solemn

THE DISAPPOINTED GRANGER

There was a man who lived near Put
nam, Mass, who had a favoritc dog, a
Maltese cross cat, and twenty-nine hens,
with their natural guardians and conse-
quent broods and accompanying enemies.
Something nightly invaded this mans
palatial hennery, sucked few eggs. and
ate tender little chicken now and then.
The man investigated. The robber was
a terrible enemy of hen coops, the Ameri-
can p. G.. or the Arctic polar cat. The
man carefully opened two or three eggs,
he poisoned them with Paris green and
strychnine and laid them on the floor of
the hen house. At a late hour the next
morning he got up, and went to look at
dead p. c. (polaris cottdricus). The
first thing he saw was a dead dog, his
own favorite dog, midway between the
house and hennery. He wept with grief
and rage, and wondered who could have
been so mean and cruel. The next thing
he saw in the coronor'S line was a dead
Maltese cross cat He shruddercd and
said: - can never tell my wife of this
Then he found two dead hens, and his
heart misgave him.
He went into the hennery and counted
eleven more dead hens, and then he knew
that what the dog and cat couldn't eat
the hens had finished. He picked up six
hens that We're just passing into the
gloomy abode of the shades. And, while
he CRASHED his teeth and rehearsed little
speeches to himself. he saw something
with his nose, and, looking afar off on
sandy hillside. he heard the p. c. that he
hated creeping among the rocks to his
solitary lair like the south wind passing
over bank of fish, stealing and giving
ght-blooming serious. All. thus
he said. from chidhood's hour my
fondest hopes have passed away; the
cake is dough. the milk is sour. general
flavor of decay comes with the breeze
from yonder hills; o. cup of sorrows
htterest dregs. grim death the dog and
Maltese kills, spares the thing that sucks
the eggs This interesting chapter of
local history is literal translation from
the true chronicles Of Putnam.

Charles Harrison Hunter, more general.
known as Harry Hunter, the "Lons Fish
erman" Rice's Eyangeline Troupe, died
OF typhoid fever in the pay ward OF the
Cincinnati Hospital, at twenty minutes to
eleven, yesterday morning. Mr. Hunter
was born in Dorset, Bennington County,
Vermont, and was about thirty-fou years
old at the time Of his death. When he
was but nine years old his parents remov-
cd TO Boston, and that city and its vicinity
has since been his home. He began his
public career as variety performer, but
soon after became member OF Maflitt and
Bartholomew's celebrated pantomims
troupe as its Harlequin. He remained
with this organization for several seasons,
and became very expert pantomimist
Mailitt was the original 'Lone Fisher
man" in Ecaageiiae, but subsequently the
role fell to the care OF Mr.. Hunter.
Those who have seen the burletta know
that the FISHERMAN" is a "side" character
who has not a word to speak and no con.
nection whatever with the plot Of the
piece. Nevertheless, Mr. Hunter made il
the feature OF the entertainment, and gain
ed for himself national reputation by the
quaint and grotesqne manner be played IL.
lie did not confne himself exclusively to
this part, however, but won considerable
credit by his performances Of "Berbantic'
in The Corsiw and "Dick Deadeye" in
Pmqfge. few weeks ago Mr.. Hunter
played at the Grand Opera house, and
was then apparently in the best Of health
and spirits. While performing in Quincy,
Illinois. about two weeks ago. he contract.
ed severe cold, and he was compelled to
ask a member Of the company 10 play the
Lone Fisherman" for him. In Kansas
City he left sick bed TO play his part in
CIino, and this aggravated his illness.
The trip to this city was very severe on
him, and last week while his company was
performing at Henck's Opera house, he
was only able to play once or twice, and
then took to his bed at the Hotel Emery |
His doctor Will Judkins. pronounced his |
malady typhoid fever, and advised his re-
moyal TO the Cincinnati Hospital. This
advice was followed and Mr.. Hunter was
made as comfortable as possible under tho
circumstances. While at the Hotel Emery
