RATHER ENTHUSIASTIC.

The Wilmington (Del.) Daily Republican
lately contained the following item of popu-
lar interest DIR. j. +. Speck, who is con-
nected with the Wilmington Erery EreRin9,
speaks rather enthusiastically of st. Jacobs
Oil. DIR. Speck states that he uses the Oil
in his family as household remedy, sort
of universal panacea for all aches and pains,
and has always found il to act most happily.
His attention was called TO it by the many
testimonials in its fayot and he one day used
il upon himself for sore throat. Twoappli-
cations were sufficient to effect cure. He
also used it on his little girl for sore throat
with gratifying success. The same child had
scarlet fever this winter, which left the ten
dons of one leg much hcontracted. The little
pnttler couldn't walk without assistance and
suffered much inconvenience and pain. Sew
eral applications of st. Jacobs Oil restored
her limb to its normal condition and she has
not expcriencedany trouble since. DIR. Speck
states that he has also seen the Oil act
charmingly in toothache. He thinks st.
Jacobs Oil is sterling remedy, and does
not hesitate to recommend it for rheuma-
tism, etc.

A sETERE CAsE or ABSENT MIND
EDyESS

II is related of an absen' mi d d ouuy
lady that, having been duly married,
she started off on her bridal tour. The
party stopped at a hotel in Western city.
So far, good. Sometime in the night
there came n succession Of terrified
shrieks from the room occupied by tho
BRIDE and groom, and the clerk, porters
and employers generally rushed up
stairs, only to meet a frantic female fig
ure, clad all in wilit,, fleeing in desper-
ate haste from her apartment, crying /;
"Oh. there's man in my room !"
The clerk rushed in and found the
groom, half disrobed, standing in the
middle of the floor, one boot ON and the
other in his hand, the picture Of amaze
ment. He explained that he had Just
come up stairs and was in the act of un-
dressing (liis wife having previously re.
tired), when she suddenly awoke with a
shrek and fed.
What was the inatter?" asked the
clerk.
Damfno," replied the husband.
just then the bride. enveloped in a
huge bed spread, procured for her by a
chambermaid, came back, looking very
red and foolish, and in half minute she
explained the mystery by saying:
"Oh, Fred, l forgot l was married.
and whom / awoke was so frightened. !"

4 CURIOUS LEeEND.

This curious Hessian legend is re-
corded by the Brothers Grimm: A
man kills his brother while they areout
hunting, and buries the corpse under
the arch of bridge, Years pass. One
day, a shepherd, CLOSING the bridge
with his flock, sees below little white
bone, shining like ivory. He goes down,
picks it up, and carves it into mouth
piece for his bagpipes. When he began
to play, the mouth piece, to his horror,
began to sing Of its own accord:
"On, my dear shepherd! you are
playing on one Of my bones by brother
assassinated me and buried me under the
bridge"
The shepherd, terrified, took his bag
pipes to the King, who put the mouth
piece to his lips, when straightway the
refrain began
"Oh, my dear King! you are playing
on one OF my bones my brother assassi-
mated me and buried me under the
bridge"
The King ordered all his subiests to try
in turn the bagpipes. From month to
mouth the instrument passed 10 that Of
the fratricide, and then it sang:
"Oa, my dear brother you are pay
ing on one OF my bones it was yon who
assassinated me
Aud the King ordered the murderer
to be executed.
