The Other Sort Of SMindEer.

There were six or eight of US in the
smoking-car as the train was running
down to West Point from Atlanta, and
everything was lovely until the seventh
man got on at small station. He had
no sooner entered the car than he
looked fixedly at the man who had
been telling US snake stories, and di-
rectly he walked up to him and called
out:
"Ha! you Internal swindler, I've
found you at last!"
who's a swindler?"
"You are!"
81 never saw you before!"
You're d liar, and I'm going TO
pound $16 worth of cash out of you!"
1t was presently discovered that he
recognized the snake story man as a
fruit-tree agent who had sold him some
grape vines which did not show up, and
he was splitting on his hands and MAX
ing ready to do the pounding, when
the other remarked:
MY dear fellow, [ insist upon it that
you are mistaken. was never in the
fruit-tree business, and 1 never swim
died you out of $10."
Il say you did"
Never! Instead of swindling you
out of $1S on grape vines, I am the
man who charged you SIG too much for
a sewing machine, and here's your
money!"
"Well, now, come to look more close
y at you, I believe you're right" said
the seventh man.
"Of course Pm right" growled the
other, as he counted out the money,
"and [ warn you to be little more
careful in future. I have reputation
to sustain, and grapevine swindles are
not in my line. Here's your $16, and
now think you ought to apologize !"-

THEY Weren't Sandwiches.

Among the score of us who rushed
into a railroad eating-house in Mississ-
ippi at the call Of twenty minutes for
dinner" was a chap who had his mind
made up to say something unpleasant
when he came to pay for his meal He
was growing when he went in, and
jawed all the while he was eating, and
when he slouched up to the desk TO pay
his IS cents he broke out with:
"Them sandwiches are enough to kill
dog"
what sandwiches?"
"Why, them on the table"
''But we have no sandwiches on the
table, sir" protested the landlord.
"You haven't? Well, I should like f.
know what you call them roasted brick
bats on that blue platter?"
you didn't try to eat one of those ?'
eyes, I did!"
"Then, my friend, you had better &c
for doctor at once! Those are table
ornaments, made of terra-cotta, and
were placed there to help fill up space
Land O. cats but you must have lived
In cane-brake all your life!"
The traveller rushed into the car and
began to suck at whisky-fask, and he
didn't get over looking pale for three
hours
And they were sandwiches after all
real good ham sandwiches made that
day. The landlord had adopted that
particular style, instead of using a club.

Wnen Prof. Dexter came to Minneapo-
lis, less than month ago, he promised
our people that he would cure some of the
worst cases of chronic rheumatism and
other diseases of the most stubborn char
acter and long standing. That he has
done as he promised, the GLOBE readers
here had frequent proof in published
testimonials from patients cured in Min
neapolls. But now we publish below a
card from prominent st. Paul merchant.
WHICH must needs carry conviction with it.
Tie following is the testimonial:

Last year Col. McCrory established the
custom of giving the poor mothers and

day, and the following correspondence
fixes the date of the second excursion:
MINNEAPOLIS, LYNDALE & MINNEToNKA
RAILWAY COMPANY, MINNEAPoIs, Aug. 4,

of Minneapolis-My Dear Sir: The Sec

neapolis, will take place on Tuesday, Aug.
Il, 1882
AS the success of our last excursion de-
pended largely on the aid you so kindly
gave US, we would respectfully solicit your
cooperation again this year, in making
happy the "little ones," who have no other
means of enjoying the sights and pleas
ures of our beautiful summer resorts.
Very respectfully yours,

the time to consider the wants of the poor,
and has the heart and the means to con-
tribute to make them happy, even for a
single day. GOD bless Gel. McCrory"
was the full fare tickets collected from
each of the poor women and children you
made happy last year by your motor line
excursion, and the tickets will probably be
the same this year. I will gladly serve
you again by distributing tickets through
the police department, and will send with
the excursion platoon of police to guard
against accidents. Very truly yours,

English Quacks and Irish Patients,

English statesmen and editors try to
make it appear that they cannot under
stand the real cause Of destitution in
Ireland. This ignorance of the En-
glish on the Irish question is only
equaled by that of an old quack doctor
who had been treating child for some
time, and finally discovered it to be in
dying condition:
Il never thought the poor child
would die of Group" said the dis
tressed mother.
"Umph!" exclaimed the quack. "Why
didn't you tell me the child had Group /?
That's the first [ heard of it."
The English have been dosing Ire
land for seven centuries, and it is time
they found out what was the matter
Our own opinion is that Ireland has
been bled too much, and has not had
quite enough to eat
Changing the siInile, the condition
OF ireland reminds us of a poor dray-
horse that has yielded to bad treatment
and starvation. A crowd gathers
around the PROSTATE animal, and every
body proceeds to make suggestions.
One fellow thinks that twisting the ami
mails tail or sitting on his head will re-
store him to his original health and
vigor. Another asserts that a liberal
application of the lash will cause the
famished steed to renew his youth like
an eagle. After everybody has had his
say, a quiet old farmer takes a good
look at the emaciated framework of
what once was q horse, and then asks
the exasperated owner, who is
loudly asserting that the brute never
did seem to thrive, no matter what was
done for him:
"Did you ever try corn and kind
treatment ?"-Terds Sifti7aqs.
