Eight Thousand Bills

Boston Herald: Gen. Rosecrans
has made q record for himself in this
congress by introducing more bills
than any other member of the house.
heading the list with 100, writes a
Washington paper. Vance, of North
Carolina, comes second, being the au-
thor of 120 bills. Although over
5000 bills and joint resolutions have
been introduced this session, there are
thirty members who have not present
ed so much as a petition. About two
per cent. of the bills introduced be-
come laws but it costs nearly $500, 900
every year to print those which lie
forever in the pigeon holes. There
has been so much scandal over print
ing speeches that were never delivered
that an attempt is being made to have
the practice prohibited. There ought
to be another in the shape of a ru lie
prohibiting the presenting of the same
bill twice, as about half of those intro
duced have been before previous con-
crosses, and some have been printed
many times.

BE WENT OUT OF BUSINESS.
A Practical Joker's Last Joke
Amusement for the Boys.

San Francisco Post.
No, gentlemen, said Captain Skiddy,
you don't catch me taking part in any
practical jokes. l went out of that
business for good over ten years ago.
How was that?
Well it was in the winter of ~,
may be '73, 1 was living in Daven-
port, La, and a man came round
there giving balloon ascensions. One
day it was advertised that the mayor
of the town was going up with him.
Now, the mayor was big, fat man.
who always wore light suit of
clothes and a white hat. This put
me in the notion of working joke off
on the people. got acquainted with
the aeronaut, and he agreed to assist
me in the scheme. We then got an
old suit of light clothes with which
we fixed up dummy, which we filled
up with sand so that it weighed about
200, and would therefore drop straight
and heavy like man. The day of
the ascension there were fully $4,000
people on the ground and the excite
ment was very great, as there was
slight wind blowing at the time.
After the balloon got up about mile,
and maybe that far south of town,
town, they dropped the dummy over.
Big sensation then, Ell?
Well, should say So. Of course
the crowd made a break out of the
town to scrape up the remains and L
rushed home to get my fishing tackle,
for it struck me that the most healthy
thing / could do would be to go fishing
for day or two. Before / had left
the house, however, was arrested
for murder.
For murder!
Exactly. A lot of boys accompan-
ed by the sheriff, rushed in and col
AIRED me. They claimed that the
dummy had fallen on a farmer and
driven his skull clear iuto the heels
Of bis boots. He said that the bal
loonatic had turned states evidence,
and the chances were that I'd be
hanged by a mob before night.
That was rough.
Well, so l thought. l was just
scared to death, and begged the boys
to stand by and protect me. 1 ponied
up $50 for legal expenses, and they
hid me in the garnet of a neighbor's
house. They kept me there ten bless
ed days and there wasn't a day but
they struck me for a twenty or two
for continuances. One night the
whole gang came round full OF beer
ON my money, mind you-and said
they bad concluded as an addition
al precaution, to hide me in the hol-
low of an oak tree about three miles
in the woods. l saw through the
whole business them. and drove 'em
out with a club. 1t was a good
square case of the bitter, bit, / know,
but they never let up calling me
Dummy Skiddy after that until they
actually ran me out of town. and /
had to emigrate to this jumping-of
place of creation, and the captain
shook his head with a Disguised air
and walked of.

tual and spasp1odic. ta
The Holy City of Mecca is another
great distributing point for cholera /;
in fact, it is a sort of clearing house
for all sorts of infectious diseases. In
1865, it is said. 200 pilgrims died
there of cholera in six days, and
the city for centuries has been the
focus of plaques, which have been
brought from all directions, and
thence distributed by returning pill
grirns over three continents.
For many centuries there has been
an incessant stream of pilgrims to and
from Mecca. To be present at the
Kourban Bairam is the great aim and
end of Mohammedan life, and to
reach there hundreds of thousands
abandon homes and property, and
undertake perilous and exhausting
Journeys. From the North Atlantic
and Mediterranean shores of Africa,
from Timbuctoo and Western Africa,
from Siberia, from the Danube and
the Sea of Azof, from the western
provinces of China, from the cities of
Europe, and from the most remote
Mobammedan settlements, constant
professions of pilgrims are passing to
and from Mecca for this pilgrimage,
at least once in life time, is binding
on all true Mohammedans. and he
who dies without having made it
might as well have been a Jew, a
Christian or dog.
The return OF one pilgrimage is never
accomplished from any of the larger
settlements before another is on the
move. They arrive in great caravans
and the misery and hardships they en-
dure are equal to those suffered by
the Hindu devotees- Some come by
sea to Jedda upon the native vessels,
which are saturated with infectious
poisons. Each passenger receives
only sufficient space to squat upon.
The intense heat of the day, the mias.
mas of the night, privations of all
sorts, the want of sleep and food and
exercise induce a physical condition
but little short of death. Many die
on board the vessels, but the most
have strength enough left to drag
themselves to the Holy City. Those
who 60 by land and on foot suffer
even worse.
Having arrived at Mecca without
rest or food, the pilgrims enter at once
upon their religious duties. The
first is to visit the Kaaba, the Holy
Temple, and the tomb of Ishmeal up
on which rests the stone let down from
heaven. Upon the arrival at the
Kaaba all drink and perform their
additions in the well of Fem Fem.
The water is tepid, salty, and milk
ish in color. 1t might have been
pure once, but it has not been so in
centuries. No pilgrim ever quits
Mecca without carrying jar of this
water away with him, and it is impos-
sible to over estimate the potency of
the Fem Fem spring in spreading
cholera and other diseases.
In Mecca all the essentials for an
epidemic are constantly gathered, as
well as the means for distributing the
germs of disease broadcast. The pill
grimages in India and Arabia have
received the attention of sanitarians
for several years, but no means has
yet been found, so strong is the reli-
gous sense, to prevent the dissemina-
tion of disease by them.
The present epidemic in France
can be traced from Hurdwar to Mecca,
from Mecca to Egypt. and thence
along the Mediterranean to Toulon
and Marselles.

One Thousand Acres OF Land and
Fright Smart of Bears"


On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged Southern planter. Indicating by sweep
OF his arm the waters the boat passing over he
said TO a passenger from the North: "When was
twelve years old killed nay first bear on q new
plantation my father was then cutting out of q
forest that grew directly over the waters of this
bend. That was a mighty good plantation, and
there was right smart OF bears there too. But
that one thousand acres Of land went into the
Mississippi years ago"
IL is putting strain upon the figure to say that
great forests OF youthful hope. womanly beauty
and manly strength are swept in the same way
every into the great turbd torrent Of disease
and death. Yet IL should not be so. That il is so
is disgrace as well as loss. People are largely
too careless or too stupid TO defend their own in
Irresistible most pi eciOus OF which is health.
That gone, sll is gone. Disease is simple, but to
recklessness or ignorance the simplest things
might as well be as proposition in Comic Sections.
As the huge Western rivers which so often food
the cities along their shores arise in few mount
ain springs all ailments can be traced TO im
pure blood and a small group Of dsordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for
disease ia PARKER'S TONIC. II goes to the
sources Of pain and weakness. In response TO its
action, the liver kidneys, stomach AMI heart begin
their work afresh, and disease is driven out.
