Parson Beecher,s Denial. &.

Henry Ward Beecher was seen at his coun-
try seat at Peekskill. With ALL his old fire

Plymouth church and that he was sadly in
H debt. Mr.. Beechers declared he did not owe

am prepared for any amount ofswork. The
church is stronger and better than ever it,

The richest bootblack in America is
Patrick Malloy, of Saratoga. He
owns two houses and has fat bank
account. He seems unable to explain
how he got rich in any other way than
by saying that he and another boy
started out together, and while the
other boy invested in horse, ne put
his money in the bank. Once a.Bos-
ton swell came to him to get his shoes
polished, and said, as he dropped
dime in the old mans hand: s'That
is the last cent I've got. I've been bet
ting and have lost every dollar I
had. Now Unjust walk back to Bos-
ton" The bootblack took him to
railroad ticket Office, bought ticket
to Boston and gave that and two dol
lars to him. The grateful gambler re-
paid him with heavy interest when his
luck returned.

One Of the Fish Stories.

a few days since, says the Yanceburg
{Ky.) Courier, while a party Of gentlemen
were crossing the Ohio river near the
mouth OF Shade river, their attention was
attracted to sounds of peculiar distress
ing nature coming from the water a short
distance above them. Rowing to the spot
from whence the noise proceeded, they
found a large fish, struggling in the most
excruciating agony. One Of the gentlemen
reached out and catching the suffering fish
Through the gills, lifted it into the skiff.
Immediately afterward the party was sur
prised to see a huge muskrat cut it's way
through the stomach Of the fish and leap
over the side Of the boat into the water be.
low The above narrative sounds almost.
pincredible, but if any reader doubts it's
ruth he is respectfully referred to Capt.
yphn a. Williamson, Great Bend, Ohio,
Nsentleman Of unquestioned veracity. SIS

don know what caused my, recall. Had
the Austrians assigned reason that might
have been all right, but putting forth such
frivolous ones as they did they are an al
front to this people and Issdon't intend to
resign in consequence OF them. With Italy
the case is different. The reasons given by
that government were sufficient to warrant
a charge. as it would certainly have been
unpleasantifor King Humbert to receive, as

had so severely denounced his father. /

Whether shooting il necessary or not remains
to be tested Ia the satisfaction Of the ma jorty.
Some believe that shoes cannot be dispensed

inclined 10 the opinion that shoes are not alto
gether necessary on soft, sandy. or light,

somewhat sore, and the hoofs cracked and
seemed very brittle. In time however, the
hoofs began To harden IN texture. became cal

clares he would not use shoes again under
any circumstances. Just here We de
slre To call attention to the subject
Ii the feet, by direct contract with the earth,

hoOf is changed, it may he possible that those
who have attempted to work their horses un-
shod have become alarmed at what they sup

have demonstrated the method a. feasible
Any one who IL accustomed TO wearing shoes
finds 1t very inconvenicnt 10 walk barefooted
for a few days; but after short time the feet
become insensiblcto substances with which they
come in contact, and one then easily manages
to walk on the stones, gravel, in the sand, water,

least difficulty. Thus it may be with horses,
when the shoes are removed They will find
walking awkward and the feet may become
