THE PARSONS MISTAKE.
He Couldn't Show the Symptoms
From the Sunday Mercury.

he COul0nC snow the symptoms
From the Sunday Mercury.
Parson Pyne, who used to be settled
on a fashionable congregation in the city
of Was hington. had a chemically indis-
posed lady of great intelligen ce and
sweetness of character in his flock. He
used to dread to visit her, so long WAS
the catalogue of ills that she was wont TO
unfold before him. OF course he was
expected to sympathize and he did his
best. But it was WEAKNESS to his impa-
tent spirit, and at times he found him
self advising numerous doses to the LADY,
when she had detailed her symptoms
and asked his advice. 1t happened at
last that the parson fell sick and had a
long siege of Typhoid fever. When he
had slowly recovered he was in haste to
resume his pastoral work, and deter.
mined to visit the sick first. He made
inquiry of a lady parishioner as to the
invaiids, and was told that Mrs. Squire,
very sick. Was it her chronic use of
patent medicines? 'No," the lady re.
Piled, slightly stammering and blushing.
She believes that Mrs. Squire had a run
Of low fever and some other complica-
tons. This was enough. If she had
really been sick she must have the con-
ISOLATION of religion as soon as possible.
Arrived at the lady's house, Parson
Pyne sent in his card, and Mrs. Squire
came down the picture of health. The
domino congratulated her on her i'm
proved appearance. She had never
seemed SO we'll and happy il her life,
But | hear you have been sick" he add
ed, "and | call to bring you the SYM
pathy which you do not appear to need"
"You have been sick, doctor and ger
sigh, "that is the reason | can sympath-
ice with you SO readily. / know ali that
you must have suffered. l nave Just
had the same trouble, and passed
through all the symptoms and sufferings
myself.' 3oI
The lady looked at him earnestly for
a moment, and us if she were disposed
to be angry. Then she seemed to think
better of it; her face frightened and she
rose, went to the parlor door and cried;
katie come here-just as you are.'
The parson sat quiet and amazed as thu
footsteps came nearer. Then the door
opened and Katie the nurse, entered,
bearing in her arns,a chubby, Growing,
81 -weeks-oid infant. A light began 10
break in upon the dominie's soul and a
cold sweat stood out upon his forehead.
There. parson, that is what allied
me-" cried the laughing lady. where are
your symptoms"
The good pafson blushed and fled, but
the story followed him, %and,eyery male
member of his flock called to ask him
what bad allied him and where were his
symptoms" From that day to this he
has never yentured to ask any lady
about her ailments, and he has fore
sworn the company Of babies.
Ex-senator Edmunds will stay at his
Vermont home until his duties recall
him to Washington.

Louisville as a Gamblers' Cente.

A Louisville Ky.)correspoudent of
the Philadelphia Times writes: "Gam-
bling is plainly the most irnportant..bus-
mess in Louisville. 1t gives character
to five or six of the choicest squares in
the commercial part of the town, and
exceeds any other branch of trade in
volume Of transactions. The pooling
rooms, which are all on the square on
Third street, between Main and Market,
handle not less than 81, COO a year.
The faro banks, which occupy a large
portion of the houses'of two squares on
Fifth street, two squares OF Jefferson
street and one square of Green street,
do a business at about f3, O00, 900. The
winnings and losings OF the numerous
poker rooms amount to 500. 900, at a
moderate estimate; tt keno banks ab-
sorb about 81 100000 in the course Of
each year, mainly the wages of laboring
men; ard the lottery offices, OF
which there are over a hundred
scattered like drug stores all over town,
receive and keep $500, 600 at least, half
of which IN from the negroes.
These estimates make a total of $780,

Of them are Office holders. Two of the

The Chicago Journal thinks no such
catastrophe as that of the Newhall house
fire could occur among the leading ho-
tells of that city on the ground first,
that they are better built, and second,
they have night Waterman on every
floor and a full line of fire apparatus.
The Journals first position may hold
good. But as to the second, night watch
men have been known to 60 to sleep
and up to date hotel fire apparatus has
never known to be anything more than
IN advertising dodge. When hotels
are made fire-proof from cellar to garnet
then danger will be reduced to the
minimum. Until that is done thought
full travellers will make their wills before
v~enturing within the precincts of city
hostelries.

MADISON, Jan. 12.-It is understood
Speaker Finch received forty applica-
tons, constituting nearly one-half OF
the Assembly, for places on the Railroad
Committee. As the committee consists
of nine members, and three Of these
will be Republican by general courtesy,
it is likely that thirty-four Democrats
will meet with disappointment when the
result is announced next Tuesday. The
committee will be made up entirely OF
men favorable to railroad interests.
Representatives of both the Milwaukee
and Northwestern roads were here until
last night. bringing influence to bear on
Speaker Finch, to induce him to favor
their respective interests.

Leonhardt was nominated by a straight
Republican ticket, and his opponent on
what was termed a Peoples ticket,
there being no Democratic organization
in Door county. The contest hinges on
only four votes, the allowing or discard
ing of which virtually settles the case.

Says a writer in the Contemporary
Review, of August 1880: THE true
purpose of the school is not to antlci-
pate the lessons of life, but so to discl-
pine the mind that it may be prepared
to learn them from experience. Our
incessant experiments in educational
reform serve only to interrupt the tradi-
tons, and, therefore, to lessen the pres
tige of u culture; they perplex teach
ers, scholars, and parents alike; they
lead to doubt and hesitancy, and must
all end in simple return to the old sys-
tenn The question is whether there is
not something for Americans to think
Of in this disqualification.
