Not every one SO cheerfully communi-
Gates his knowledge and opinions as
recently did E. L. Loweree, Esq, cashier
of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, that
splendid outlet to the South from the
Ohio. Our representative waited upon
Mr.. Loweree, and in reply to certain
questions the latter gentleman observed:
az was suffering from a very severe
attack of rheumatism in my right foot;
it was in terrible condition ; the pain
was almost intolerable our family ply
stefan waited OF me without success; /
sent for another we'll known M. D., but
even the twain could do nothing for me;
I could not get down here to the Office to
attend to my duties in fact I could not
put my foot under me at all, and after
nine weeks suffering I began to grow
desperate. Ny friend (whom, of curse
O know, for he is known by every
body, MI. Stacey Hill, of the Mount
Auburn Inclined Plane Railroad Co.,
called to see me he spoke very highly
of st. Jacobs Oil, and recommended the
remedy to me in glowing terms. /
laughed at the ideaof using a proprietary
medicine, and yet the party recommended
it, (Mr. Stacey Hill, remember), being
a man of sound Judgment, set me tc
thinking the matter over. The next day,
when the physicians called, I dismissed
them, and said to myself that I would
let nature take its course. That resolu.
ton lasted just a day. On the following
morning I, in a fit of desperation, sent {
servant for o bottle of st. Jacobs Oil. ]
applied that wonderful remedy, and j
penetrated me SO that 1 thought my foo
was about to fall off, but it did not IL
fact it did just the opposite. The mex
morning the pain had entirely left m.
foot, the swelling was reduced, and reall
the appearance was sodifferentaltogethe
from the day before, that it actually sur
prised me. I applied more of the st
Jacobs Oil, and that afternoon I wake,

The Violin for Girls.

A correspondent writes to the Queen:
"I do not know whether it made much
way in the provinces, of which my
acquaintance and experience are small,
but in and about London, for twenty
miles round, there is hardly a large
family blessed with an average endow-
ment of girls in which one of them has
not learned, or is destined to learn, to
perform on the violin. I often attend
the practices or concerts given by many
amateur musical societies in and around
London, and generally find young ladies
among the ranks of the violin players
On all sides there is abundant evidence
that the movement is general and strong.
The violin dealers and masters tell the
same story, and 1 cannot doubt that ten
years hence the violin will be far more
common in the hands of young ladies
than ever it was in former days among
their fathers and uncles."

Tramp,s Philosophy.

In the hip pocket of an old vagrant
was a memorandum book full of his own
writing with q pencil, and ome of his
philosophy is good enough to be pre-
served. His first paragraph reads:
drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free is like getting In the way OF
bullets purchased by an enemy"
A second reads:
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with the second best.
It is hard to be honest IN an empty
stomach"
"a dry plank under a rain-roof shed
is better than o feather-bed in Jail, and
n isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing
in a square breakfast"
Afourth says:
"Pay as you go. If you hayen't any
thing to pay with, don't go. If you are
forced to go, record every Indebtedness
and let your heirs settle the bills"
The fifth explains
eve should have charity for all.
When winter winds blow cold and drear
we vags should pity the poor fellows in
India who are having red-hot weather"
A sixth is recorded !:
"Politeness costs nothing, but it Is not
expected that you will wake a man up at
midnight to ask permission to go through
his hen-house. It is more courteous to
let him enjoy his needed repose."
The seventh and last we noted down
as follows:
"When you pick up an apple core dc
not find fault because it is not the apple
itself, but be satisfied with the grade Of
descent. Do not be ashamed of YOU
occupation. We can not all be lords,
aor can We all be Migrants. As I can moi
be a lord, I should not lament at being &
vagrant. Be truthful and outspoken-
that is, tell them you are a Chicago fire

An Guiteau.

"Parson Timothy" said the Judge to
a colored man who had just been ar
raigned, "you are charged with stealing
Deacon Thompson's wife. / have known
you for years, and had always considered
you an upright man. And now, sir, that
you are arraigned on so terrible a charge,
with such overwhelming proof against
you, I must confess that my faith in the
colored part of humanity is greatly
shaken by a severe chill from the dark
swamps of deception. As you expect
one day to be arraigned before a Bar
from which there is no appeal, tell me,
are you guilty2 Did you run away with
Deacon Thompson's wife? ?"

in italics that prisoners are entitled to
the respect and floral tributes of every

"You are mighty Confed, Judge"
said the prisoner. GAS I was going to

often, I seed dat his wife glib him a great

went ober ter de deacon's house an re-
moved de oman"
The Prosecuting Attorney then read
several affectionate letters that had been
written by the prisoner.
"Judge," exclaimed the prisoner,
"that Prosecuting Attorney is a fool,
an I owe the witness ten cents for
board. (Sensation in the Court-room).
I was inspired to remove the woman.

counsel for defense.

Cookery.

It is said that no French cook can fry
oyster and that no American can do 1t
as we'll as the negro cooks of Baltimore
and New Orleans. We believe 1t.
Moreover there are a good many other
things which can only be found j per-
lection in one special locality. For in
stance, there is a kind of steamed brown
bread which is not fit to eat outside OF
New England. Goldfish, too, is a deli
cacy, cooked as Yankee Housewives can
cook it, which it certainly is not under
any other circumstances. In Indiana
and Kentucky, one can get better fried
chicken, and green corn fritters than
n where else in the world. The cook.
cry in the extreme South has a still
more distinctive flavor. The okra soup,
called gumbo, which they make there, is
o thingo of which a Northerner is simply
incapable of conceiving of. As for the
"corn pones," which they eat down
there, no white cook need hope to evel
learn to make them. 1t is an absolute
impossibility hat they should ever be
put together by any but black fingers
