When Pagan Bob Ingersol nominated
Blaine in 1876 he characterized him as 'aman
whose political reputation is as spotless as

1t is to be regretted that Herr Koch,
the distinguished German physician, who
chased the cholera germ in three conti-
nents, takes such a gloomy view of the
outlook in Europe. There is hope, how
ever, in the fact that celebrated doctors
make mistakes about as often as their less
prominent brethren. After all, the doc
tors famous discovery of the cholera
germ NAV not be matter of much mo-
ment. He may have only run across a
new kind Of frog spittle.

MIR. WEEDLEs AND HIS GIRL.

The dress circle was adorned by a
dyspeptic-looking girl, with big feet,
who had brown wart on her face and
a certain look about her which plainly
told that she was fresh from q board
school. Beside her sat .ong, gawky
young man, who was from the country,
and evidently smitten with the charms
Of the young lady by his side, upon
whom he would ever and anon bestow
the most tender g,snces. During an
intermission in the play he turned to
her, and, in voice tender as a sirloin
steak, said:
Don't yer think it's awful warm in
this ere theater, Miss Maryq"
She let fall on him a languid, plying
glance and then replied:
"Ah! yes, there exists certain de-
gree Of closeness which is deleterious
to the comfort Of ones physical being,
but, my dear Mr.. Weedles, you are no
doubt perfectly aware of the fact that
chemistry teaches us that the exhala-
ton of 80 many individuals csrbonizes
the entire atmosphere, vitiating it to a
degree which renders it poisonous to
the respiratory organs, as we'll as to
the corpuscles in the blood, producing
nausea, and in some cases syneope.
You can see at glance, Mr.. Weedles,
that this is caused by the lack Of
oxygen"
"Yes, know EN-, that is, I've read
of'em, but hain't never seen any yet,
as know on; but when Bill Wilkins,
at their protracted meetings down on
Goose Creek, said the heart was a part
OF the stomach, l told him it was the
derndest lie he ever spoke"
80, dear! how absurd it was in him,
to make such statement. Why, don't
you know that the palpitation Of the
viscus generates g subtle electrical
force which is the most mysterious,
wonderful and startling power that
propels the anatomy Of the genus
homo?"
Il have-yes, I've heern tell Of it
afore, but | don't stick myself up as
knowing everything. Iain't that kind
Of man. The folks used to say--and
was powerful proud Of it-that warn't
no slouch on grammar; but won't you
have some peanuts, Miss Mary9' and
he wiped the cold perspiration from his
brow, and trembled with nervousness.
None, thank you, Mr.. Weedles; pea
nuts have strange effect on my gas
Economical organs"
II didn't mean to hurt your feelings,
Miss Mary, because you recollect be-
fore yoa went off to school that l used
to bring you peanuts, and we used to
Sit a-straddle the garden fence and eat
them. Don't you rememb Der how your
old mother used to say that new pea
nuts were awful colicky? Them were
happy days, Miss Mary" and the hum
bic lover sighed as low rs nete on a
bass fiddle.
''Oh, Mr.. Weedles!" she said, blush
ingly, 81 want to ask you something.
Did you not say on one occasion that
was possessed Of moiety Of tho divine
afflatus, and that you thought l WAS
being entirely too seraphic and ethereal
to exist in this mundane sphere e.

right to be called philosopher.
He was buHzing around the depot

and making a great show with d fat

enough to bust when he secs my trick.

way his chin will drop when he opens

About an hour after. when the train
had departed, tho officer was surprised
to see the joker still hanging around,
and this time alone.
Then you didn't go to Chicago 7"
