where and How to Keep cool.

This is problem that greatly perplexes
humanity during these hot days, but u Is
onickly solved by visit to Anton Hauber's
saloon. No. 202 West Second street. He
has recently put up set of revolving fans,
which keep current of air in constant
motion, thus reducing the temperature
several degrees below what it is outside.
The best way to get cooled off is to stepintoo
Hauber's saloon, take seat at a table and
drink glass of refreshing beer, with the
cool air playing around your heated brow,
while the absence of flies, which are dis-
persed by the strong currents, adds largely
to your comfort. 1t is the best place IN 1ne
city during the hot weather.

Recently Il gentleman whose home is
in La Grange, Ga, says lhc reporter,
was riding along road near the Ala
bama line, when he saw a fine comcly
white woman blowing with a steer. This
was so unusual spectacle that our
friend thinks he forgot himself in the
intensity of his rapt gazing, Anyhow,
he was startled thcrcfrom by the woman
stopping in the furrow, planting her
arms aFimbo, and eXclaiming in voice
sh'ill and sharp:
"You will know me the next time YOU

This was enough. Our traveller blush

battered female with q smile on her
countenance, drove on more rapidly.

terances from the platform will insure
his placing upon the plane of sober.
minded, discreet, sensible. instructive
and entertaining teachers. Personally,
Talmage is q genial fellow. Get him in
a corner with his war paint off and talk
with him on any subject except that OF
shop, and you will find him as genial
and pleasant companion as you may
wish. He is in the pulpit what Butler
is in politics. 1t is his profession, and
he is bound to max &c hit every time.
He is reckless. careless, and not always
reliable, but get him down to hard pan
and he is worth q hundred cents on the
dollar every time. Talmage is very
bald Personally in my eyes that is not
IN objection. He seems to think the
public regard is otherwise Consequent
ly he lets the hair grow on the side OF
his head very, very long, and then
brushes it up over his scalp and fancies
that, because he looks like u hairy man
to himself in the glass, nobody can see
the little bald spot behind, Youremem-
Der the ostrich? This is another case.
On the street Talmage appears to think
that everybody is looking at him. That
is where his head is not level. He
should think that everybody is looking
at him because everybody is, but he
should not appear SO. See the pontP
