The Marines Are Not Tramps.
To the Editor.

Allow me, on behalf of my comrades, to
deny the published utterance of naval officer
that men are driven to enlist into this corps
by hunger aud frost. Such Is not the case.
We were not tramps before enlisting, and feel
pride in our personnel Many Of the COM
rades are men of both intelligence and re-
fnement as Capt. J. H. Highly, our beloved
commander, will no doubt readily testify.

A Romance of MOos Lake.

The people residing in the vicini-
ty of the secluded Moos Lake are
busy with a little romance Just now.
1t seems that on the banks of the
lake resids Elijah Camp. an Indian
guide. He has a beautiful daughter,
Emma, who has developed into a
noble hearted and loving woman.
For some years a family named
Mead, who reside at Sing Sing, have
made it their practice to spend the
heated term at the Indian guides
humble home. In the Mead family
there is a young man named Gabriel
Mead, and quite naturally he fell in
love with the beautiful Indian
maiden, and last spring he made her
his lawful bride. When the elder
Mead heard of this he was very
wroth, and forced his son to desert
his young and beautiful bride,
which he did. FIVE months ago he
took her to his arms a beautiful,
loving bride, and to-day she wanders
alone on the banks of Moos Lake
with a broken heart and blasted
hopes.-T Troy Telegram.

Being too Good.

A retail dealer on Michigan ave-
nue. secured a new customer a few
days ago in the person of well
dressed lady. who ordered and paid
for a large bill OF groceries. The
grocer was desirous of keeping her
trade, and therefore when she came
again and paid half a dollar with a
hole in it, among other change, he
received it and said nothing. Next
day he was oblidged to take another
and during the week she handed
out dozen coins that had the
dreaded holes letting daylight throuh
them. Finally a little girl came in
one day and inquired:
as this the place where ma trades
"Who is your ma ?"
Mrs"
"Yes, this is the place.
"Well, then l want a pound Of
crackers"
They were done up for her and
she handed up quarter that was
battered as well as punched.

"Why not?"
Because there is hole in it"

A Sly Judge.

Judge Joplin was very angry when
be entered the court room. He kick
ed a lawyers dog and trod on the
constable's foot in the blindness of
his rage. No one understood why
the old man exhibited such ill-hu-
NOR. He was known all over the
country as genial, whole-souled
fellow, and the lawyers who made
their living at his bar, looked at the
old man in surprise. The Judge
took his seat, and for a moment
seemed to be revolving in his mind
the wheel of a serious problem. At
last he looked up and asked
Does anybody chew tobacco in
this courtroom ?" No one replied.
Il mean does anybody in this court
room chew tobacco? The educated
gentlemen who are present will
please excuse my rhetorical error.
Nobody chews tobacco? | am
much disappointed. / did not want
a chew, for do not masticate the
weed. l have Just been presented
with some tobacco, and, as | do not
want it myself, l desire to give it to
some one who does want it"
Il chew, your honor" said law
yer, who, fearing that the Judge was
begging. had hitherto refrained from
making himself known.
docs any enc else in the
court room chew?" asked the
Judge.
q believe not" replied the
lawyer.
You are the only one,
then ?"
Il think / am"
We'll, want you. Just now, as
/ came up the steps quid of tobac-
co came down the stairway, and
'spat' it took me over the eye. L
adopted this method, sir, of detect
ing the wretch, and l am thankful
to say that l have caught him. Mr..
Constable, take him to Jail, for fur
ther trial is unnecessary" Let no
one say that the laws of Arkansas
are not enforced.

PARIS, July 18th, 1888.

Messrs. Hiscox & Co. call special
attention to the fact that after April
10, 1888, the name and style of thi:
preparation will hereafter be simply
Pdrker's Tonic. The word Ginger
is dropped, for the reason that un
principled dealers are constantly de
ceiving their patrons by substituting
inferior preparations under the name
of Ginger; and as ginger is an un.
important havoring ingredient in
our Tonic, We are sure that our
friends will agree with US as to the
propriety Of the change. There will
be no change, however, in the prep.
aration itself and all bottles re.
manning in the hands of dealers,
wrapped under the name of "PARK.
ER's GINGER Tonic" contain the gen
uine medicine if the signature OF
