How a Judge Entered The House.

Jeffersons great height and slender fig
ure exposed him to much ridicule from his
opponents; his sobriquet with them was
Long Tom" Nothing could present a
more striking or more singular contrast
than the figures of Mr.. Jefferson and
General Knox, the one very short, the
other lank and lean, and unusually tall.
They happened to meet one morning on
the steps of General Washington's lodg-
ings. The two gentlemen approached
from opposite directions, and, arriving al
the same moment, a contest in etiquette
took place between them. The general
of the army, and full of its chivalric po-
likeness, could not think of passing in be-
fore the co-equal head of the Department
of State, while the civil officer of the gov
eminent was equally as averse to taking
precedence of the military: and they
stood for some moments, each drawing
back and waving the other forward.
In the midst of this entertaining scene
the notorious Judge Peters, the greatest
wit of his day, came up directly in front.
Perceiving>how matters stood, and cast
ing sly glance from one side to the 9th
er, he pushed boldly between them, ex-
claiming, as he passed, Pardon me, gen.
tlemen, if, in my haste, I dash through
thick and thin"

Intoxicants In England.

DR.. French, in a recent work, "Nine-
teen Centuries of Drink in England"
says that mead was the intoxicant of the
ancient Briton. The Romans introduced
wine. Cider was known at an early date
bit the Saxons, Danes and Normans
broughtin the secretof stronger bevera.
ges. Distilled liquors were introduced
under the Plantagenets, and clergymen
then began to tipple. In the sixth cen.
fury men of all degrees "slumbered away
their time in drunknness." The preva-
aleRt intemperance of the seventeenth
centuryis said to be due to the act to en-
courage distillation, the exhaustion OF
light wine, the influences of the court and
the development Of toasting and club life
DIR. French predicts that moderation will
increase until intoxicating beverages
shall be used and not abused, and thus
become one of our blessings.

A Copperhead's Bite.
Pittsburg Dispatch.


Several years ago daughter of A. C.
Ramage, of this county, while spending
her college vacation at home. was seated
beneath an apple tree. She suddenly
felt singing pain in the thumb of her
right hand, but the only visible NJ .rks
of injury at the moment were two very
small globes of blood as of a needle point.
In little while her hand and arm be-
gan to swell at fearful rate and she was
taken very sick. She was taken to the
house and remedies applied. Her father
went to the tree in his anxiety about his
daughter, and there discovered copper
head snake, which he dispatched.
The life of the daughter was saved
with medical assistance. She married
and has several children. but on the re-
turn of the anniversary of the date OF
the poisonous bite the right hand and
arm become spotted and swollen and the
symptoms and sickness of the first occa-
sion return. Each year the attack grows
more violent, until this, the ninth year
it is believed she will not recover. Wig.
orous remedies successfully applied in
former years seem to have no effect
None of the children are affected in the
least, and the lady has enjoyed remark.

A Warrior of the Sea.

Capt. Ashby, famous sword fisherman,
who furnished the United States Fish
cries Commission with much OF the
material used in reports about the sword
fish, gives the following account Of live
ly experience in mid-ocean: man at the
masthead caught sight of the dorsal fins
of huge swordfish, and the vessel was
steered directly toward the spot. In the
pulpit-a raised platform at the end OF
the bow spirit the harpooner.
The warrior of the waves may have been
asleep, or he may have held the vessel in
contempt. At any rate the approach was
successful, and the harpoon was buried
in the back of the fish. The next mo-
ment the wounded monster leaped clear
out of water, attempted, as he vaulted,
to shake out the barbed prongs of iron.
So great vas his effort that he fell on his
side with crash, but the very next in
slant he was off with tremendous speed.
The line ran out so quickly that the knots
IN it were invisible.
But the break had been expected, and
before long six stalwart sailors were tug
ging at one end of the line, while the
sword-fish held the other. Six men new
er before were jerked around In more
lively manner than were the SIX In ques-
ton. Now the 'sword-fish would land
them altogether in heap; then he would
let the line become slack and would catch
them nawares by darting like shot In
some other direction. This sword fist
was taken within less than an hour, and
no one was hunt; but many cases have
been known wherein persons were in
jured. One OF Capt. Ashby's men was
wounded, on another cruise, by a fish
which thrust it's sword through the oak
floor of a small boat and pierced the
naked keel to TIE depth of two inches.

A Scene In Court.

The following anecdote is said to be
literally true of an eminent lawyer: The
gentleman in question, who was then
quite young. was retained as advocate in
case on which, not feeling himself suf-
ficiently prepared to plead, he was very
DESTROYS of obtaining a postponement.
As, however, the court had already pro-
lracted its session beyond the usual
period in consequence of an unusual
amount of business, and of course the
ury were getting impatient to be releas-
ed from their duress. he was well aware
that it would be impossible to procure
such postponemeut unless he could al
lege some extraordinary excuse.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, as the
result proved, he had lively magma
ton, and had quickly formed a plan
which he was sure would be successful.
Rising, with his handkerchief to his
eyes, he addressed the court in great ap-
parent emotion:
"May it please the court, l have Just
heard Of the dangerous illness of my
venerable mother, who is lying at the
point of death. Under such circumstan-
ces, much as / regret protracting an al
ready heightened session, must request
that this case be postponed. My feelings
are so powerfully agitated that should
be unable to do justice to the case, feel
ing as do that my proper place is at the
bedside of my mother"
The pathetic appeal was completely
successful. A feeling of earnest sympa-
thy for the afflicted counsel pervaded all
hearts, and the Jun ors, though anxious
to return to their families, were not suf-
ficiently hard of heart to wish to have
the business of the court proceed at such
sacrifice of personal feelings.
The Judge, who was tender-hearted
man, had risen, and was about to grant
the request of the counsel. when the
deep hush was broken by shrili voice,
which proceeded from lady in a Quaker
bonnet, who was bending over the rail-
ing of the gallery. 1t was the mother OF
the eloquent counsel, who, so far from
being at the point of death, came with
out her sons knowledge to hear him
plead.
Timothy, Timothyp' she exclaimed,
in q voice which could be heard all over
the house; Timothy, Timothy, how of.
ten have chastised thee for lying?"
1t is needless to say that the court
room fairly shook with laughter, and the
eloquent COUNSEL sat down completely
nonplussed.
The case wasn't postponed.

PAPILL0k
AN ALTERNATIVE is NOT

The proper medicine to take when the Blood,
Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Kidneys are out
of order, for then you are liable to be afflicted
with yer Complaint, Dyspepsia, Flatuence,
Stomach ache. Jaundice, Constipation, Collie,
Vomiting, Indigestion, Kidney Complaints,
Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Backache, Neu-
ralgia and Sick Headache, and such kindred
diseases. These diseases are not caused by
impurities of the blood, but by impoverish-
ment of the blood. The blood needs vitalizing,
enriching, building up, that it may have
strength to prevent disease. To supply this
particular want medical jurisprudence has
discovered the remedy in PAPILLoN BLOOD
CURE, positive vegetable compound that Is
not IN Alternative, but as its name implies blood
Cure. BY eradicating excuses and supplying
deficiencies of the blood coursing through your
veins, the medicine removes the causes and
cures disease It's efficacy is wonderful, as Tor
upwards of thirty years this same compound
prescribed by an eminent physician, has cured
the most obstinate cases of dyspepsia and slck
headache. liver complaints, and especially dis
eases so prevalent in women as irregularities
and weaknesses. 1t contains no drugs or MIN
erals, but purely roots and herbs, and is fol
sale by all druggists.

A New Horseshoe.

A new horseshoe has lately been ex.
perimented with at Lyons, France. II
is made entirely of sleeps horn, and is
found particularly adapted to horses EN-.
ployed in towns and known not to have
steady foot on the pavement. The re.
suits of the experiments have proved
very satisfactory, as horses thus shod
have been driven at rapid pace on the
pavement without slipping. Besidesthis
advantage the new shoe is very durable,
and, though little more expensive than
the old one, seems destined sooner OF
later to replace the iron shoe, particular.
ly for horses employed in large cities
where, besides the pavement, the streets
are intersected by trampway rails, which,
from their slipperiness, constitute q
source of permanent danger.

tackled by the disease. Six French sol.
diers in the fortress of Soctrang were
cured by the same means, while only one
died, and he was dying before NJ. Janin
came.
Should one dose o. absinthe prove in
sufficient, NJ. Janin Recommends the pa
tient to continue taking it; he says OF
himself that when attacked by cholera
he drank one-third litre of absinthe in
about ten minutes, after which he slept
and awoke cured. 1t is a curious fact
that after taking five or six doses of clarei
mixed with absinthe, the patients are
rarely intoxicated. Ifhowever, they fall
asleep in state of intoxication they are
saved IN case of an insufficient guam
tity being taken death is sure to ensue
In the long run, however, it is safe to say
that absinthe will kill many more
Frenchmen than cholera.
