GLENBRooK, May 26th, 1884.
| Ed. APPEAL: Glenbrook is noted
| for the number of jolly good fellows
and practical jokers who reside
here. and the merriest of these is
Frank Jefferson, proprietor of the
Lake Exchange. A few evenings
since an old darkey called on Frank
and endeavored to excite the lat
ter's sympathy. to the extent of a
glass of beer, by describing the
horrible paralytic pain to which he
was subject. Frank not only sup
piled the beer, but declared his
| ability to remove the pains by the
| application of a newly discovered
magnetic belt, which the negro was
induced to try, and Frank impro-
vised out Of a couple of wires and
some flannel sprinkled with cow
itch. The old fellow put the belt
on, and the way that lame side lin
bered up was a caution to behold
ers, for during the few minutes the
cripple wore it he danced hoe
downs that would have made for
tunes for a dozen niger troups.
Now for the initiated reader it may
be stated that cowitch is the vulgar
name for the pollen of plant, and
as a medicine is used for bowel
disorders after being mixed with
molasses. As an internal medicine
it has its uses, but when applied to
the skin drives man almost in
sane with the irritation. A mil
lion Jersy mosquitoes combined
with as many flcas would not ac-
complish as much work in an hour
as a little cowitch would in one
minute. When the darkey put the
belt on he had time to
put his clothes on also before
the magnetism" began to
work. He opened the festival by
leaping in the air a couple Of times
and then took off his clothes,
not after the usual method, how
ever, he just ripped them off in
shreds and cast them from him
with lofty scorn. He seemed to
have a perfect contemp for weaf-
ing appeared. After the belt was
he was rubbed down
with mixture of lager beer, kerr
osene, coal tar and lard and rolled !
in sand, then in consideration of |
his having stood the electric shock
so we'll, admitted to membership in
the society of the Glenbrook Read
justers and poor old Sambo now
carries about with him an import
ant looking document bearing
stamp torn off a bottle Of Thistle
Dew Whisky and authorizing him
to bury the dead, cure the sick by
means of the magnetic belt, and
perform any other good action, but
chickens, which is strictly
prohibited, Frank probably consid-
ering the interest of his own house.
The negro is very proud of his
initiation papers which he carefully
boards, and can only be induced to
exhibit to such important person
.ges as the APPEALS correspond
INT, but the joke is he declares him
;elf perfectly cured of his disease

WHY wATTERsoN NEVER SMILES.
A Gloom Cast Over Him by the Agricultural
Department..

"A Gloom Cast over HIM by the agricultural
Department.
National Republican
"Do you notice. asked the gentleman from
Philadelphia, "what a serious melancholy, al
most morose look Henri Wattersons face wearsl
That is the result of his experience as congress
man. Watterson has not always been simply
the advocate of free trade and the rejuvenator
of senile Democratic candidates for the presi-
dency. His district once consented, almost
unanimously, that he should come to Congress.
Watterson had not fairly settled himself in
Washington before an old lady down in Tennes-
see, who had known him when he was boy,
wrote to him for some seeds. He asked friendly
old member from New York as to the formula
to be used in getting Seeds and was informed
that he must write to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, telling what he wanted and giving the
address to which he wanted the seeds sent. He
did write, and either through his own careless
wording of the note or through somebody's mis-
take at the Agricultural Department Waiter
sons entire supply of seeds went to the old lady
in Tennessee. There were several sacks full Of
them. In "A few days letters began to come by
the score from Watterson's own constituents,
each one demanding seeds. When he wrote to
the Commissioner of Agriculture he was in
formed that his supply was exhausted. He
again sought the advice of his friend, the New
York member, and explained the situation. The
New York man told him that there was but
one course to pursue, and that was to Dor
row seed from members who represented
only commercial and manufacturing districts.
From that time on until Congress adjourned
sine die, during all business hours Watterton
devoted himself exclusively to borrowing seeds.
That is the reason so many people never knew
that he was in Congress. He had no time for
congressional work. He had to borrow seed.
That is the reason, also, why Watterson's face
wears cast of gloom. He used to smile as well
as any other man before he became congress
man, and he has smiled since, but not in Wash
ington. The sight of the city always affects him
unpleasantly, and they say that occasionally
when he is just about to convince some Pennsyl-
vania congressman that nothing but free trade
will save this wretched country he stops short
in his argument, and, with PARKWAY look in
his eye, asks the loan of sack of seed"
