county Clerks office, had disagreeable expert
ence on Tuesday night He got up from his bed
in his sleep and going to the window of his room,
which is in the second story, climed out and fell
to the ground, distance of twenty feet. The fall
walked him and he called to his mother telling her
where he was and that he was not hurt. The
only injury he received was a very slight cut on

The "Methodist's" Little Joke.-The
following is from the Baltimore Methodist: "Open-
ing an old pocket memorandum book in which
fitting ideas were jotted to refresh the memory,
we found, mixed with the hymns for the choir
and the text, zone thing have I desired" &C.,
such wicked temporalities as, ~ lb. butter, lb.
sugar, six eggs, IL lbs. -four, pint sour milk,
&C., with yeast powder, lemon, &C., to taste. -
This reminds us of conspicuous fence on the
road to Towsontown on which somebody had con-
spicuously advertised, "Take Ayers Pills." A
pious colporteur, passing along the same way and
desiring to alarm transgressors, but oblivious OF
Pills" "Prepare to meet thy God"

Heavy Storm.-We were visited by another
unusually heavy storm-or rather succession of
storms-on Thursday afternoon last, accompanied
by heavy thunder and vivid and almost continu-
Gus lightning. A tree in Mr.. Geo. L. Stocksdale
yard, in this town, was struck, but the house was
not injured. A tree near Epson Chapel was shat
tered, as was also one near Mr.. Jas. Boyce's, on
the Joppa road ; one near Mr.. Shelton Prices
on the York turnpike, and near Mr.. J. Hall
Peasants, Woodbrook Station, M. c. R. R. For
tunately no one was injured, and so far as we
have been able to learn no serious damage was
done. The rain came in torrents for perhaps
twenty minutes and flooded the streets but occa-
stoned no serious inconvenience.

A Wonderful Cat-The Columbia (Pa.)
Courant says "Col. John A. Slade, of the Frank
lin House. Columbia, claims to have q cat that
eats cucumbers. Perhaps all cats do, and the
music that we hear from the back yards, instead
of being the outpouring of joyful cat hearts, is
the wall of the unrequited cucumber down in the
deep recesses of the cat"
Col. Slade is an old Baltimore countian and a

The Mosquito Is Here

Now the troubled sleeper waketh,
And ariseth, all undrest,
To destroy the dread mosquito
That has broken up his rest.
And the lamp he quickly lighteth,
And his pillow seizeth he,
With full determination
His disturber killed shall be.
And that pillow wild he slingeth,
With an arm both firm and strong,
But his foe its doom eludeth,
And continueth its song.
And to him that one mosquito
Which upon him fain would feast,
So ubiquitous appeareth
That it seemeth ten at least.
From the combat he retireth,
All his strength and patience past;
And that stoical mosquito
Feasteth on his blood at last.

Chaplain McCabe at Emory Grove
Chaplain McCabe, secretary of the Board of For
eign and Domestic Missions, preached at Emory
Grove camp meeting last Sunday. He was a
chaplain in the Federal army, is about fifty years
of age and is known as the great debt-raiser of
the Methodist church. His morning sermon was
devoted to missionary work, during which he said
the religion of Budha is the best in the world,
next to the Christian religion. Budha taught
400, 100000 people of India the highest morality.
But the greatest comfort he could give them was
if they did well they would be annihilated, blown
away forever. He has asked for million dollars
for missions this year from Methodists. He stated
that S4O5,500 in cash has been given since JAM l,
100000 more is expected from conferences to
meet between now and the close of the year. $40, >
600 by the will of Mr.. Fry and $50, 900 in pledges
"good as wheat" he said o man in Baltimore
gives $4,000 yearly, $4,000 is promised condi-
ton the million is raised, making $4,000 Sin
sight," as the miners say. This is the biggest
amount the Methodist church ever had for this
purpose. He wants to raise S4O,0 900 on his pres
emit trip. December 18th he will hold meeting
in the Academy of Music, the biggest building in
New York, and dispatches will be read from 200
presiding elders, showing that the million has been
raised.

Very Narrow Escape.--The man who
drives the milk wagon for Mr.. Arthur Shanklin,
whose farm is near Loeb Raven station, made a
very narrow escape with his life on the morning
of the great food. In going to the station from
the farm it is necessary to cross an open bridge
over small stream, which empties into the Gum
powder about half mile below. The stream was
very high when the driver went to the station
and when he came back it had risen much higher
and was apparently running over the bridge, which
he could not see but which he supposed to be in
its usual place. He forced his horse through the
water to the bridge, but the bridge had been
swept away and down went team and driver into
the torrent. The man and horse managed to save
their lives, but the wagon was wrecked, only two
wheels being left the other part having been car
ried down and into the Gunpowder, and was not
recovered.

& nice looking young lady with

asked:
10 you have many gentlemen
among your custo Hers2'
''Oh, pes 7 have had about 20 in
the few weeks that [ have been here,
and fully dozen of these now come
regularly. A funny thing, though,
they don't wish it known that they
employ the services of a manicure.
They seem to think that it is effemir-
ate I suppose it is because there never
has been a manicure here before. In
eastern cities we have almost as many
gentleman as ladies among our Gus
toners and nothing is thought of it
there"
DO you find much work here2"
A great deal. [ have been here
only five weeks, and I have nearly all
can do. Ny trade so far is entirely
from the E ast End. and I am told that
I am toe first manicure in Pittsburg,
and that the services of one has
long been needed. / have 25 or 80
ladies who come to me regularly once
9 week"
DO the hands need that much at
tention from a manicure2"
Indeed they do. I believe that my
regular customers do nothing with
their nails at all. Few people under
stand how to cut their nails in the
first place. A knife or scissors should
never be used. trim and shape the
nail with a small file, and then care
fully smooth down and bevel the
roaghened edges with emery board,
which keeps them from breaking and
trains them to symmetrical growth.
Another important point where people
neglect their nails, is in allowing the
skin to grow out on the base of the
nail. This should be carefully pushed
back with a blunt instrument at least

They could never have been used to

ties there are ashamed of having them

On the Way to His Wedding.
Washington (Ga.) Gazette.

A young man sat in the ladies'
coach on Georgia railroad train as
it went flying toward Augusta. He
had on store clothes, that was evil
dent, and they were SO new that the
wrinkles had not yet determined at
what point they would strike in. He
was on the mission of his life. as was
betrayed by the cons cious look which
he could not suppress More wealthy
perhaps less deserving young men are
generally atten led GA sach occasions.
The train went rumbling down the
road. and the further it went the hap
pier beamed the face of our young
man. Finally we approached sta
ton, the air brakes took a giant grip
on the wheels of the car, and the
passengers received the usual stalking
up consequent to a rather sudden
checking of a swift moving train.
