 The fashionable gentleman, withou, further ssords, went to the door, and, in- stead of demanding an explanation, kick ed old Ben off the steps.
 The unfortunate man sought his ac- quaintance and said: II don't know whether to shoo: the top of your head oH or split your ears.'
 Why, Ben, what's the matter?'.
 Matter, why l tuck out my terbacker like you told me to do an put it in a wash-pan that nigger brought to the door, but it 'peared to insult the family, for the man l had wanted to see come out and kicked three years growth of salvation outen me. After l sorter got over the prize of the thing, l sot down an cussed. hadn't cussed none fur three years an if you'd been there you d thought mill-dam had broke loose.

How Congressman Dress.

Washington Letter to Galveston News.l The republicans are the bes. dressed people in both the senate and house. They have better-kept boards, sleek faces. and look as though they had from & to 5 in change in their pockets. They look as though they think more of public mat ters than about how to save &, 500 per annum out of $ 900 salary. They wear good clothes and polished shoes, and walk with the air of men confident of po- sition and above making the matter of personal appearance matter of study.
 They leave external matters to good tailors and bootmakers, pay the bills, eat good beef and trimmings, shave often and have their heads shampooed SO as to quicken clear thought and smell sweet to their friends and wives. Some of the dem- oerats are just as well kept, and glide through the house like gentlemen. Let us add here that dress does not make the gentleman. but it attracts gentlemen and suggests clean skin. The plain demo- crats, who come here from the people, glory in being shod in nailed shoes, and capped with a dropping, umbreila-Iike hat. Do these great, fermenting minds stop 10 think that the man with the biggest brains lately in the sen ate, Roscoe Conkling, left his measure with his tailor when boy, and never knows what he puts on except as he receives a package on the evening of the seasons as they come! Chester A. Arthur is the neatest man in Washington almost, and he has some brains, too. Abe Hewitt Allison. Edmunds and Randall are wearers of good broadcloth, well cut; so are dozens of others. Speaker Keller is always ready for day call Vest, of Missouri, is always in well-shaped goods, and boldly wears a gold chain around his neck heavy enough to hold pleasure yacht. Vice-President David Davis is the picture of responsibility. George NJ. Robeson looks like an English lord. Members who get lodgings in the suburbs for sI per day. two meals included, spend the time they should be circulating among their brother members in the unfre- quented hotels and other quarters, walk ing to and from their sour-milk homes. When they get to their seats in the capi- tol they feel dull with bad ssomachs. and hardly get to thinking before Caikins. Reed and other bright republicans have them in the nine hole.

TOOK OUT HIS TOBACCO.

Ben Potmayer, an old fellow who lives on Marrow-Bone mountain, came to the city the other day for the first time. By correspondence he had entered into land speculation with one of the wealthiess men in town, and had come to confer personally with him. Meeting a man with whom he was acquainted, Ben ex- plained his mission and asked advice coneerning the proper way to enter the house of such a rich and stylish man.
 "Now, Ben," said the acquaintance, "you must be careful. You know that you are an incessant tobacco chewer, but you must not enter the house with quid of tobacco in your mouth. When you go up to the door, ring the bell-r
 "Bil! Do you have to ring a bell ?"
 "Yes- You will see a knob. Pull it and a servant will come to the door. Be sure and take out your tobacco.'
 Ben, finding she knob without any trouble, gave it vigorous pull. A ser- want appeared, bearing carl salver. Ben had forgotten to throw out his tobacco, and. remembering his friends warning, he took out the quid and placed it on the salver. The servant was 90 as- tonished at this eccentric proceeding that he hurried into the presence of his master.

KEEN DISAPPOINTMENT.

The rural roosters" of Arkansaw have an exalted conception of a govern. or's magnitude. Some time ago a bar. becue was held at Grand Point, and among other distinguished citizens, the governor agreed to attend. A large crowd assembled, and when it became known that the governor had arrived, the people were much excited in their anxi- ety to behold the august ruler. Old Sam Fellers, who had walked fifteen miles to be present on the occasion, turned 10 a friend, after an unsatisfactory search, and said:
 Has the governor got here yil Bill :'
 "Yes, thar he stan's, ,alkin' to the county jedge."
 "What! that feller with a red neck like turkey gobbler.'

AMERICAN literature is no longer held in contempt by the English critics. There is freshness about the American novel a spr.ghtliness of conversation and an in. terest of detail which the later novels ol England do not possess. The great novel of this country is yet to come; in England, fiction years ago attained its full growth.

Remarkable Cure of spsained Back and
 Weak Spine.

Remarkable Cure of Sprained Back and
 Weak Spine.
 NO. IS5 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK,
 April ,4, 1884.
 Some years ago in lifting a heavy weight, something broke in the small of my back, and was confined to my bed tor over three months. l could not sit up without intense pain, and the lower part of my body was cold and numb. The frst physician used liniments, cap sicum and much rubbing: the second tried electricity; the third burned me with hot iron the fourth tried capcine plaster; then in succession capcicin and strengthening plasters; bu, all in vain. At the end of three months I was no better; could not sit up or walk. In de- spair l discharged my doctors and for some weeks did nothing. Then saw the case of Mrs Hammel of Rockaway Beach, cured of a weak spine by AL cocks Piasters. and bought three; one l applied al the small of the back, and the other two above. l noticed nothing the first day the second, considerable itching was felt all along the spine, and the more itching the better felt. The third day the legs were less numb. The fourth day considerable precipitation ap- peared under the plasters, SO they were taken of, the spine well rubbed, and in four hours three fresh Allcock's Piasters were put on. Next morning the itching began again and new life appeared to flow in my veins. These plasters kept on nearly week. They were then re- moved. was we'll rubbed and waited twenty-four hours before putting on fresh Allcocks Plasters. After this began to sit up in bed little. Coldness and numb ness were gone. Every day was stronger, better and more hopeful. The plasters appeared to act On the brain through the spine and filled me with nervous force. changed the plasters ~'SAy Ao1A oAyS.

Whenever catch cold now it appears to settle on the weak spot, and lays me up for day or so, but couple of Allcocks Plasters, so soothing and penetrating, quickly cure me. mus, say here l be- lieve these plasters are the bes, external remedy ever discovered.
