'sThers are many strange people in New York city," moralizes Chicago nswspa- per Ca number of persons in that town are just now endeavoring to cut down the number of saloons @ as to give but one drinking shop to every 500 psrsons. Nsahs ing could positively be devised that would cause more misery and inconvenience. Picture the possibility of these 500 men applying for thelr morning cocktail at the same hour. Supposing it takes two min utes to compose this matutinal beverage, which according to persons that under stand these things is said te be fair ss- innate, it would take bartender over six teen hours to wait on the 500 customers. Few saloons can afford to keep force of bartenders sufficient to appease this amount of thirst in 8 short time and the suffering would necessarily be extensive aud intense. The misguided persons who are advocating this measure may think they are doing good, but it would drive many deserving men to the private bottle and overwork the already hard-working bartenders."

MISTAKES OF EMINENT MEN. --Old men give too much advice for it all to be sound. Washington, it iss said, once decided that the Erie Canal was not practicable. Sam Houston thought one-half the money cen grsss voted to Morse to build the first telegraph line ought to be devoted to en- courage mesmerism. Cave Johnson, post postmaster-gsneral, declined to buy the telegraph patents for the government for $100, 900 on the ground that it could not earn expenses. Ezra Cornell spent two thirds of Morse's appropriations laying the first poor starveling telegraph under ground instead of stretching it like . clothes-line. Timothy Howe was sure a ffty-cent tax on whisky could not collect as much as a $2 tax. Seward thought 75,000 men would put down the rebellion. The old Baltimore merchant to whem Poe's poems were submitted indorsed them "Here is man fit for nothing whatever" Franklin rather thought the Stamp act smart recommendMtien. Com modore Vanderbilt told his son to buy ne railroads outside of New York state. Old age is for counsel, bat it eught to come from the "Amen" benches.A All the wis., dom in Spain and Portugal discouraged Columbus, but a pretty woman said te the sailor:

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never ;mitatea

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS are never initiated or coa'terfeited. This is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy insitated is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family med ioine on earth, many limitations sprang up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had express ed the merits of H. B., and in every way try ing to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. B., with variously devised names in which the word ''Hop" or ''Hops' were used in way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pre- tended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word Hop" or 'Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are limitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else Druggists and dealers are warned against dealing in imita- Ltions or counterfeits.

A SMALL BOYS PRACTICAL JOKE.

l 'sSay, do you think that little practi- cal joke does any hurt ?" asked the bad boy of tho grocery man, as he came in with his Sunday suit on, and bouquet in his button hole, and pried off a couple of figs from new box that had just been opened.
 "No, sir" said the grocery man, as he licked of the syrup that dripped from a quart measure, from which he had been tiIiiug ajug ssI hold that-a man that gets mad at practical joke, one that does not injure him, is fool, and he ought to be shunned by all decent people. That's a nice bouquet you have in your coat. What Is 1t, pansies? Let me smell of 1t, z and the grocery man bent in front of the boy to take whiff at the bouquet. As he did 80 Q stream of water shot out of the innocent looking bouquet and struck hlm full in the face, and run down over his shirt, and the grocery man yelled mur- der, and fell over barrel of axe helves and scythe snaths, and then groped around for towel to wipe his face. ~ ssYou condemned skunk, y said the gro- cery man to the boy, as he took up an axe helve and started for him, "what kind of a goE blasted squirt gun you got there. I will maui you by thunder" and he rolled up his shirt sleeves.
 ''There, keep your temper. I took a test vote of you on the subject of practi cal jokes, before the machine began to play upon the conhagration that was rag ing on your whiskey nose, and you said man that would get mad at joke was a fool, and now know it. Here, let me show it to syeu. There is.a rubber hose runs from the bouquet, inside my coat to my pants pocket, and there is a bulb of rubber that holds about half a pint, ard when feller smells of the posy, squeeze the bulb, and you see the result. , Its fun, when you don't squirt it on a person that gets mad"
 The grocery man said he would give the boy half a pound of figs if he would lend the bouquet to him for half an hour to play 1t on a customer, and the boy fixed it on the grocery man, and turned the nozzle so 1t would squirt right back into the grocery mans face He tried it on the first customer that came in, and got it right In his own face, and then the bulb in his pants pocket got to leaking, and the rest of the water ran down the gro- cery mans trousers leg, and he gave it up in disgust, and handed 1t back to the boy.-Peck's Satae. 5fE,&

sI sha'nt never forget it" said little Chicago girl, when the coroner asked her if she was sure that her account of her mothers death was accurate. And it was no wonder that the scene was indelibly impressed upon the child's mind. The father came home drunk, dragged the mother from the bed, slammed her about the room, tore all her clothes of, and finally beat her with heavy strap until his strength was exhausted. By that time she was dead.
 A matter of fact. Little Eva, five years old, goes to visit her grandparents in the country The morning after her arrival her grandmother asks her if she has said her prayers. "Oh," replied the child, "I do that at night when go to bed. !" "But you should thank God in the morn ing for the good sleep He has given yoN. !" "But, grandmother objects the young philosopher, 1T didn't sleep last night"

Capt. Thomas Osborne of the steam ship which took Arabi Pasha and his com- panions in exile to Ceylen, and arrived at Bombay on January 16, has furnished the following account of the voyage 1: "We took Arabi Pasha and his associates and their families on board at Suez, and sailed from that port on December 27, bound for Colombo. They were seasick for the first two or three days, and after that they brightened up and we always more or less cheerful. Eventually, in fact, they became as happy as if they were going to paradise.
 "The dullest of the lot was Arabi. The exiled party went ashore in four squads. In the last one was Arabi. On landing the people crowded round him. should call it fairly mobbing one. Some kissed his clothes, some got down on their knees and kissed his boots. The party were driven away in carriages to the Cinnamon Gardens, where they were located in ssme handsome bungalows. On the whole, I don't think any of them regretted bis lot. They never exhibited any symptoms of fear, and believed happy future to be before them"
