Thurman,s Bugle.

Mr.. James r. Randall, editor of the Angus
ia Chronicle, and formerly Washington corre-
spondent, contributes the following:
Mr.. Thurman's bandana and the potency
with which he sounds his nasal bugle have be-
come of national reputation. The old gentle
man did not grow angry with this exposure OF
his popularity, but rather enjoyed and turned
it to dramatic use We have seen him punctuate
vigorous speech with an artistic exercise OF
his nose and red kerchief. After specially
animated lunge at the evils of the Republican
party, he would pause for applause; and If it
did not come promptly, tremendous snort
from his proboscis walked up delinquent Sena-
tors and made the galleries hum with sup
pressed merriment. Thurman is of most
convivial temperament. No man better un-
derstands and appreciates the highest glory OF
a symposium He is delightful talker and
lovable man, as well as an intellectual giant.
Up to him. as the South Sea Islander to his di-
vinity, looked Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia,
who, now a millionaire and man OF affairs, was
for many years honorably employed upon the
r. 3 o, r. r. as brakeman. The great
Ohioan, having dined one night rather more
abupdantly than usual, appeared at the capi-
tol, but reposed in slumber on one OF the lux
urious coaches of the cloak room. very ten

andered to that privacy, and saw that his
friend and idol was comfortably disposed.
Having performed this office piously, Mr.. Da-
Wis had occasion to rise to some question OF
privilege, and discuss the frightful condition OF
the books of the U. S. Treasury. In the midst
of his speech prodigious blowing, like a
hoarse locomotives steam pipe, began in the
cloak room and reverberated over the chamber.
For one instant, so the story gees, Senator Da.
Wis forgot his surroundings, and was seen
wildly tuyning on brakes with his hands, that
clutched only the vacant air. Instantly, now
ever. he recovered himself and plunged-not
into the Treasnry--but the cloak room where
Senator Thurman, awakening from profound
slumber, had cleared his head with more
than customary explosion.

Magazine Notices.

The Popular Science Monthly for January
1882, is unusually varied in its contents None
of its articles are long, aud four of then are
freely illustrated viz: The Earth-Worm and
its Wonderful Works, New Guinea and its
People, Volcanic Products, and Time-keeping
in Paris. The people of that city have got
ahead of the world in keeping time. The
clocks in private houses are all kept running
by the city government, all are exactly accu-
vate, and nobody has any trouble about 1t.
How all this is done Mr.. Engler's article clear
" explains Professor Pettenkofer's lecture
on ,Che Sanitary Relations Of the Soil is most
impo,tant contribution to hygiene, Of univer-
sal interest and in the last degree practical.
Another article that everybody will read with
interest and profit is Professor Prescott's on
The Chemistry of Coffee and Tea. What is
Transcendental Physics? may seem not very
promising problem for common people to al
tack; but in the hands OF Mr.. Paul r. Ship
man it turns out to be very interest
ing question. The Anatomy OF an Old An
ecdote, by William w. BillsoH, is
striking and instructive essay on the
condition of law in primitive societies and the
progress of judicial practice, as illustrated by
Shakespeare's delineation of Shylock and his
trial in the Merchant of Venice. the Colorado
Da,ert, by Joseph f. james, is graphic ac-
count of one of the most curious regions OF the
ca rtL,s surface. There are portrait ana

"Just gang your ways, Sandy, and tell King

''My dispatch of Nov. s, 1877, saying;

MISSOURI is Dragging about its melon
patch. 1t measures about ~ by 25 miles,
and lies in Scott and Mississippi counties,
in the southeastern part of the State. Its
peculiarites are light soil underlaid with
sand, and at depth of a few feet water il
found, which is reached by the melon roots.
A fair yield is a carload an acre, worth 500

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Neuralgia, Sprains,
Pain in the Back and Side.
There is nothing more painful than these
diseases; but the pain can be removed and
the disease cured BY use Of Perry Davis
Pain Killer.
This remedy is not a cheap Benzine
or Petroleum product that must be kept
away from fire or heat to avoid danger
of explosion, nor is 1t an untried expert
ment that may do more harm than good.
Pain Killer has been In constant use
for forty years, and the universal testimony
from all parts Of the world Is, 1t never
falls. 1t not only effects permanent cure,
but 1t relieves pain almost instantaneously.
Being purely vegetable remedy, it is safe
In the hands Of the most inexperienced.

KILLER would fill volumes. The following
