Another Practical Joke.

A recent occurrence in Youngstown
Ohio, has given fearful warming to The
pestiIent tribe OF practical iolers. 4
youhg man numed Henry Waters, some
what prone to superstition, ana Of n
rather timerous nature, had been in the
habit of keeping pistol at the head Of
his bed where he coald reach it upoa
the slightest warning. For the purp ,se
of enjoying an exhibition Of his terror q
party of young fools secretly drew the
bullets from the cartridges, leaving the
powder undisturbed, and one OF them,
wrapped in r sheet, entered his room at
midnight, while the rest waited near by.
He awoke in great alarm and, after
warning, fired at the figure. The bullet
was thrown back against the headboard
of the bed. This operation was repeated
until the cartridges had all been dis
charged, and then the victim Of prae-
teal joke fell back upon his pillow with
q scream. When lights were brought
the miserable fools found their friend a
raying maniac, aud he is likely To :
main ore for the rest Of his life.

Removing the Capitol.
AIM

few years ago it was the fashion among
a certain clique Of politicians. whose utter
ances We're echoed by portion OF the press,
to clamcr for the removal OF the Capitol
from Washington to some representative

of the country. The topic seemed to prove
a seven days wonder, however, and was
soon forgotten in the rush and requirements
of the Nations urgent business Now,
whether the Capitol viii ever bc removed or

A Smile OF Satisfaction.

This, from the Cleveland (Ohio)
Penny Press, carries its own sugges.
ton: Recently meeting MIR. FL. G.
Keffer. treasurer of the Cleveland
Herald, our representative inquired OF
that gentleman, after stating his mis-
sion, il he personally knew anything
about the Great German Remedy, st.
jacobs Oil. A smile played across Mr..
Refers expressive face and his eyes
twinkled merrily as he replied in the
affirmative, | will not refuse to state my
experience with it, and you may use il
as you think best. Four years ago /
sprained one of my ankles, an accident
which, as YOU are aware, entails much
suffering and sometimes leaves the limb
in condition to remind one frequently
of the old hurt. Unfortunately this re-
suit ensued. Whenever the weather be-
came damp or my system absorbed the
slightest cold my ankles panied me.
This went on at intervals for over three
years, and / could not obtain relief.
Last winter 1 applied the st. Jacobs
Oil and it completely cured me. l have
not since felt return of the pain.

Imprisonment for Debt.

An outrageous phase Of the law of
imprisonment for debt came up in the
Superior g, urt i'll New York CITY. aays
the Herald. 1t seems that under the
new Code i'll an action in which the
defendant is liable to arrest and in
which the plaintiff is unsuccessful in
bis suit the latter may be arrested and
imprisoned by the defendants attorney
on claim for costs. And this is true
although the plaintiff did not exercise
his right to arrest the defendant and al
though he may have perfectly good
case, but loses his suit on a mere tech
nicality. The case in the Superior
Court was one Of this kind. The o ain
tiff fai'ed in a suit in which no attempt
had been made to arrest the de fendaut.
The defendant consented to waive his
right tn costs. ThereupOn bis attorney
steps III and demands the Imprisonment
of the plaintiff uuloss his costs are paid.
Judge Arnorx vas Constrained with
great reluctance" To hold that the law
gave tne attorney this power, but re-
marked that nothing If this kiud could
be done in England. and expressed the
opinion that the Legislature fought
lame dl afejy to amend the Code SO that
10 execution against the body should be
issUel for )sts only" IMPRISONMENT
for debt is q relic of ha1 barism. and
although III the few cases in which i is
retained iii this State lis object is mainly
TO force the pay ment of debts By dis.
horestand fraudulent debtors, the power
is oftener abused for purposes of perso-
cution than Is fairly used for legitl-
mate ends.

mandatory notice of ST. Jacobs OF,
from the pen of my old and valued
friend, Captain Coghlan of the Navy,
now on duty here, reminds me Of an
unfulfilled task, which it is a pleasure
for me to complete. Asufferer COR seven
years from cruel joint trouble, pro-
nounced by some practitioners, govt,
and by others, rheumatism, but dis
tressingly painful under any name
was slowly making my way, with my
crutch, to the court room, when l was
accosted by Captain Coghlan, who kind
~ gave me his arm. He furnished me
with an account of how his well-known
sufferings we're alleviated by the use Of
the Oil, aud with his usual persistent
energy, insisted on sending me some,
which he had. Doubtingly enough,
applied it according to directions, and
the relief within q reasonable time, was
such "a to make me almost disregard
the evidence of my own senses. When
one has been plagued so homegrown
gray with pain and exhausted purse,
patience, and pharmacy in seeking re.

and blamelessly so. But after con-
tinuous use of the remedy, am con.

am not quite sure of dates, but it
was late in the fall, l think, of 1777,
that foraging part from the British
camp in Philadelphia made a descent
upon the farm Of Major Rudolph, south
of that city, at Darby. Having sup
piled themselves well with provender,
they were about to begin their return
march, when one of the soldiers hap
pened to espy a valuable COW, which at
that moment unfortunately made her
appearance in the lane leading to the
barn-yard and poor Sukey was imme-
diately confscated for the use of the
company.
Now, this unfortunate COW happened
to be the pride of the farm, and was
claimed as the exclusive property of
