He Wasn't from the Woods.


Two fashionably dressed young
men passed an old gentleman on
Broadway, near Eleventh street,
on Saturday afternoon, and at
tracted his attention by laugh
ter. On Becker street the old
gentleman was accosted with a
pleasant chow do you do?" and
one of the young men wanted to
shake hands.
II do not know you" said the
old man, drawing back.
ooh, yes, you do. Don't you
remember me?" Why, you and
| smoked a cigar together in front
of the Metropolitan Hotel, three
or four days ago"
The old gentleman, who had
never smoked cigar in his life,
insisted that he was not acquaint-
ed with the strangers.
"You do know me- persisted
the young man. "Let rs take ~
little walk together and ! will con-
vince YOU"
at isn't necessary; for, come to
think of it, do know YOU. You
are an internal thief and bunko
steerer," said the old man.
"Sir," said the young fellow,
you wrong me. l will have you
arrested for calling me such bad
Names"
This was too much for the old
gentleman. He drew back his
heavy walking stick and punched
the young man in the stomach
with the ferule. 1t doubled him
up and the old gentleman indus
triously pounded him on the back.
The young mau howled loudly
and took up Broadway. The old
gentleman forced his way out of
the crowd and started to cross
Broadway.
Before he got over the other
young man he had seen on Elev-
enth street walked up and said.
"Beg pardon, sir, but what is
the trouble?o
''Take that" said the old gen
tleman, punching him in the
stomach with his cane. "You
are a companion of that bunko
man who is now running up the
pavement"
The fellow did not wait to hear
more, but started to run away,
followed by the old gentleman,
who was soon out of breath.
II would not care so much, "he
said, as he stood for a momeut to
recover himself, IF they had not
taken me for countryman. If
they try to rope in man who has
lived sixty-seven years in the city
just think what might happen to
a real countryman."

An End to Bone Scraping.

Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, H.,
says: "Having received SO much bene-
fit from Electric Bitters, feel it my duty
to let suffering humanity know it. Have
had running sore on my leg for eight
years; my doctors told me would have
to have the bone scraped or leg amputa-
ted. | used, instead, three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen' 8

Last Sunday evening, between 6 and
O'Clock, most dastardly attempt was
made to murder Mr.. E. T. Cashin. the
telegraph operator at the G. e. q. R. r: in
this city, by an unknown party. Mr..
Cashin was at the depot in the discharge
of his regular duties which he had about
finished, and was awaiting the appearance
of Mr.. Ed. Murphy, the night watchman,
so that he could 70 home. The night was
very dark, and heavy rain falling. AS
is bis custom before leaving the office
every night, he went into the passenger
reception room to see that the doors and
windows were fastened. While in there
he concluded to open the door and take
peep at the weather outside. He opened
the door, but closed it almost immediate
ly, and as he did so the report of the pis-
tol was heard. The ball struck the brick
wall, two or three inches from the door
frame. Mr.. Cashin thinks the would.be
assassin was standing ten or twelve feet
from the door when he fired. 1t is the
general opinion that the fiend intended to
murder the watchman and then rob the
depot. Every effort should be made to
ferret out the villain, who should receive
the extreme penalty of the law.

In February, 1882. when Blaine had
resigned his position in the Cabinet.
George William Curtis, writing in Har-
pers Weekly. said of Blaine: His letter
On the Panama Canal is a temperate and
dignified document, and states our posi-
sition with blended spirit, courtesy, and
decision. 1t is another instance
of the skill and ability with which he
has managed the department confded to
him. He has what may be called the
American instinct, an essential quality
in our foreign Secretary, yet restrained
in his official expression by an equal
American tact and good sense" George
William has apparently changed his
mind since then.
