On Monday Of last week Andreas
Stuebinger, of Salem township, Perry
county. concluded to go squirrel-hunt-
ing. He borrowed gun from neigh
Dor, and put on cap and snapped it,
to ascertain if it was loaded. The first
cap didn't bring out the shot and a Sec
0nd cap was tried without any result.
Then the unfortunate young man be-
came convinced there was no charge in
the gun, and he placed the mnzzle OF
the barrel to his mouth to blow in, and
see if it was clean. Just then the load
was discharged in his mouth, the bull
almost Instantly killing him.

A CHAPTER OF INTERSECTIONS.

One frequent exclamation is borrow
ed from "the unspeakable Turk" as
Mr.. Gladstone used to call the subjects
of the Sultan few years ago. This is
".bosh!" for "bosh"is the pure Turkish
for empty" There are so many ways
of telling man he is mistaken or is
talking nonsense, that it is strange the
Turkish method should have been
adopted. Lingo" is another Oriental
term corruption of "Jenco," which
means the devil. "By lingo" is en-
employed by many people who never
suppose they approach to what is COM
prehensively called swearing, or to the
use of bad language. Many innocent
meaning, while on the other hand
many strong sounding expressions are
perfectly innocent. If little boy said,
for instance, that he didn't care Il
dam" he would probably get into
troubl; yet there is no harm in the
phrase, except, of course, that s'don't
care" came to a bad end. A dam" is
small Indian coin of trifiing value,
not to ''care a dam" is not to care two
pence. Among the lower classes drat
'm"-or arat her as the case may be-
is very often employed to give vent to
discomfort or reproof; and this has a
serious significance. "Drat 'em" is a
contraction of "May the gods uproot
them" and the now extinct "Od rot
'em"-eXtinct unless by chance it ling
gers among some old fashioned people
in out of the way distrlcts-is another
form of the same imprecalion. 'Hur-
rah" is another interjection that had a
powerful significance. 1t was an APP
peal to the god Thor, and was deprived
from the words "Tur aie," or "Thor
aid.n Uttering this battle cry believ-
ers in the god dash upon their foes.
Little does the young lady who cries
"Hurrah!" to celebrate some such lit
tie triumph as the return or failure to
return ball at lawn tennis know that
she is invoking the aid of the mighty
divinity and proclaiming herself to be
a heather. "Halloo" is Eau loup!"-to
the wolf. The meaning of the halloo,
therefore, has in no way altered. When
a wolf was found, the Normans cried
"Au loup!' to guide the wolf hounds
to the quarry. When fox is viewed
away at the present time, a halloo is
given by the whip or by somebody else
Ia somebody very often who halloos
in the wrong place, and does far more
harm than good-but this is by the
way. To the sportsmen the two
shouts sound much alike, and 20 hounds.

criminate in the matter of spelling,

We unqualifiedly endorse the follow
ing sentiments lately expressed by
Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, in refer
ence to turning the rascais out" 1t
will take louder and more effective
slogan than ''snivel service reform" to
thwart the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the polls. This may not be
consoling the 'sins," but if they accept
its truth it may save them grievous
disappointment in the "sweet-by-and-
by" Says the Governor:
The people have declared at the polls that
there must be change of government and
you cannot change the government unless
you change the agencies. There are some
persons now in Office whose services are
very valuable to the Government under ell
Their Republican or Democratic admins
.tration. All those whose services are not of
value should be turned out and their places
filled by the agents-of the Democratic adj
ministration. This policy would be in ac-
cordance with the old Jeffersonian principle
that the government should be in the hands
of its friends.
Waterman, of BeIlefonte, says: Gov
ernor Curtin is certainly right in his
statement of the case. We are not ex-
actly believers in the extreme af1irma-
ton that ITO the victors belong the
spoils," but we are believers i'm the fact
thar every President has a right and
that 1t is his duty to choose his own as
sistants from the highest officer down
to the lowest. He is responsible for
the success of his administration, and
If he chooses to trust the men who
ha We served in the ranks of his OPP
ponents, why he alone will be to blame
in case of trouble. But President
would be fool to do this. The men
who voted against him are not to be
supposed to be very anxious for the

A HUMoRIsT MoRALIzEs.

L turn over the leaves OF an old note
book, the pages of which filled half a
score of years ago. On one page find
this note:
My books are all wrinkled and filled
with crumbs of maple and sumac
leaves. with here and there forgotten
forest leaf clinging to the printed one.
All, well, some time 1 may kiss the
wrinkled pages of my choicest book
while think Of the dear, white hands
that laid the maple lea yes in history or
lexicon, and thank God that the page
is wrinkled and the engraving discol-
ored.
And now, whenever I turn to that
page in the note book, do you know,
my boy, how glad I am that 1 wrote
about the leaves as / did? There was
no shadow of fear or dread over my
little home then. There was no reason
why l should feel so tenderly toward
the leaves and stems that stained
and wrinkled my books, and ever kept
time, was there? All, indeed, there
was. Indeed. there was. Because
love is better than books, my boy. Be
cause your books. my son, though you
crowd the literary treasures of the
world upon your shelves, can never
creep into your heart as your wife will,
some day, when you find the girl
whom the gods have decreed shall
crown your home. Because we should
always hold the hearts that love us
nearer to us than the petty annoyances
and little ills of this life. Because the
quick, hasty word you speak in ill
temper or ungentleness to-day, my
boy, leaves sting in your heart to
rankle half a century away. Because
to-day, If could, would burn up ev-
cry book there is in all this world Just
to feel the little hands that laid those
leaves i'm the pages where / said they
must not go, clasp themselves about
my neck for one hour. Hold your
tongue and your pen my boy. Every
time you are tempted to say an un-
gentle word, or write an unkind line
or say mean, ungracious thing about
any body, just stop; look ahead twenty
five years, and think how it may come
back to you ther.-Robt. j. Burdette.

and the planters for miles around
would gather at his place to drink and
play poker. The old man could play
a good hand until he got drunk. Then
he would say, Billy, take my hand.
Billy, little saEdy-haired cuss, would
take the old mans hand and clean out
the crowd. That was Billy Malone
when he was "a boy, and think he is
just as good at poker now. This is his

The Potosi Independent gives the
coming Legislature few words of ad-
vice in reference to its appointments.
The structures on the appointees of that
body In former years are perhaps too
sweeping, but there is no question that
they contain some truth:
Our next legislature should give the pro-
fessional place hunters a back seat in its APP
pointment of the officers. select only sober
and deserving men to fill the places. Here
tofore nearly all the positions have been
filled by men who have been chronic office
seekers at home and failing in having their
ambitions gratified they have rushed to
the Capitol and secured clerkships of one
kind or another and have disgraced the par
ty by their drunkenness and debaucheries.

IN ARIZONA.

Two noble Indian braves of Arizona,
named Gee Up Charley and Short
Pants, made reckless by too mnch fire
water, attempted to clean out the office
of local paper. The next week the
editor described the result as follows:
" AT first they had the advantage,
Short Pants having hit us a terrific
blow in the stomach, which temporari-
ly knocked the wind out of us, but we
soon rallied, and by piling two forms
on Gee Up Charley's head, eliminina-
ted him from battle. Then by skillful
maneuvering we kept Short Pants from
hitting US again until we got to the
door. when we called to AL Blodget to
help us, which he did. The red devils
are now in Jail, where they will have
a chance to sober up. Our loss was
about $4.75.n
