this city. Is. am told by one Of the pro-
fession, sick Of her job. AS the profess

on the stage and feel The heads Of the
curiosities and mOnstrOsiues on exhibit
tion and dilate on their malformations for
the benefit OF the audience. There are
one or two Of these who take occasion %
"asidc" some unpleasant gags on the lee
turer. which now and then are spoken 50
loud that the audience catches on and
Joins In the ehuckle. Yesterday she got
her fingers I'm the hair Of Mai. Atom and
was showing him up 10 the behOlders,
when he said rather petulanily; "Come
OF, now, and cut the string. Pm hungry
and want 30 yet something % eat" one
OF the long.halred sisters told Mary 10 roll
up her pants. l am told that the Mrs.
Doctor has m0pped her brow several
times and remarked that II she had 20 do
the dime museum racket as steady job
she would f0rswear male attire and
relapse into wOlnanhoOd.

MAsTHEADhD BY A FISH.
The Funny Adventure of Frightened
Fisherman off u Florida Reef.


From, the Neao York Sun.
Here's an old acquaintance" said my
friend, as we stood looking at the fish dis
play OF Commissioner BlackfOrd, point
ing out parti-cOlored eel-like fish sew
eral feet long and of most villainous as
pect. In form it resembled the typical
sea serpent that figures in the old works
Of Pontoppidan and others. The body was
high, the mouth large, and in it appeared
a NEST formidable array of teeth.
@That is the famous. or rather irlfa-
nous murray of the South" explained my
companion, giving the creature a spiteful
dig SITS as much of sea serpent as
ever want to see. and | must tell you a
good Joke on myself in which one of these
bruseS played a prominent part. Some
years ago, when | began spending my
winteresin Florida. / devoted almost my
entire time to fshing-sea fishing, you
knOw-and almost the first fish that
caught me was one of these murrays.
This is a medium-sized one. They attain
in the Bahamas and around Cuba a length
of four or five feet, and, being proportions
ately stout, present formidable appear
ance. One day | was fishing off the reef
in about five fathOms, and had been hav-
my uUt LUCK WIFI El ulln illA yCiiON-ldliSs
when suddenly | had bite that brought
me to my feet. / hauled the fish, and the
fish hauled me. and after ten minutes hard
work had him at the surface, and, with
a tremendous jerk, landed, not a fish, but
one Of these muTrays-a rOuser. L was
amazed as much as the murray.
"No sooner did il feel itself in the boat
than it opened its cavernOus mouth and
made a rush for me. There were but two
methods Of escape open to me, one to jump
overheard and the other to climb the small
mast OF my boat. l chose the latter. and
as the murray reached the spot just
cleared it, and there / was in the attitude
generally known shining. The murray
made the circuit of the boat several times,
dragging the line, tnrashing the oars
about, and darting its ugly head in my
direction at every move l made. 1t was
impossible, however, to hold such posi-
tiOn long, and / was about considering
the possibilities Of leapng into the water
and swimming TO the reef when the crea-
ture wriggled overheard. j then slid
down and cut the line. When got ashore
my friends asked me what l was Shin

been watching me through spy glass.

kmDutatiOn Of the Leg.

Money is the universal necessity, and none
bnt a cynic or a fool VIII affect TO despise 1t.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster
county, \. Y, had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole Of his thigh bone,
and the suffering man looked forward. not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
del!verer. The family Physicians refused TO
amputate the limb, asserting that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. Dr.
D0Did KENNEDY, of Rondout, \. Y, VINO
was consulted, held different opinion and
amputated the limb. The Doctor then adj
ministered freely his great Blood Specific
FAVORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system and prevent the return
OF the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains TO
this day in the bloom OF health. This gentle-
mans disease was the offspring of foul blood,
and Kennedy's FAVOeITE REMEDY puri-
fed the blood and restored TO him the power
once more to enjoy his life. Are You suffering

A MUD SPATTERER.
An Awful Machine Rolling Up and Down
in Philadelphia.

III Philadelphia.
From tho Press.
A wonderful brOad-gauge street sweep
er, weighing ten tons, dashed up and
down Chestnut street yesterday afternoon
causing some excitement among pedes-
TRANS. 1t was driven by man with wild
whiskers and unkempt hair. The sweeper,
which moved along with the noise of
tornado, scattered mud and terror over
passers-by, until finally, when people saw
it coming, they concealed themselves
in alleys and nestled in doorways.
Showers of filth marked the sweeepers
passage.
A reserve officer. who had a wrangle
with the driver declared that the machine
was called "rhe EstabroOk." 1t has at
its stern a tremendous cylinder studded
with brOOms. The whole affair is nearly
twice as wide rs street car, and when
ever it encountered a car there was either
a collision or "A risk Of one. 1t ran up and
down the street all day, and its pilot was
rOundly abused by car drivers. At
Eighth and Chestnut streets, during the
evening, the heavy apparatus, which was
going west, could not be lifted from the
track to make way for a car coming east,
and there was period OF swearing and
confusion, in the course of which large
crowd collected. When finally the thing
moved it revolved so rapidly that all the
bystanders were spattered with mud.
"The machine" said its driver. sis the
latest thing out. 1t was invented by a
Jersey gentleman. who took nearly 10
years to perfect the idea. Its presence
on Chestnut street at this time is more in
the nature OF an advertisement of its mer-
its than anything else. 1t was brought
up from New Jersey to be placed in the
novelties exhibition of the Franklin In
stitute ard l am told that it is to be driven
up and down this thoroughtare until the
exhibition opens"

And now, our devil (who Is wander
fully inquisitive "creetur") wants to
know IL "the STAR man" is to have q
life posotioil, like chief justice; and
go around with his nose turned away
up among the clouds, not looking at
common people? And in order to quiz
ct him, we've had to tell him that no
matter how the kind hearted fathers
worded the business, they meant the
salary for the Office and not the man.
(Probably thought Il would tickle him
to "see his name in the papers," etc,
&C., and so on). For further purposes
Of pacitication of jealousy we have
gone into the mortifying task OF ex-
planning that he holds the Office Vt Sec
retary by the tender thread of mercy
of Ed. McCluskey and "Scme" Fowler;
that instead of having u public teat in
his mouth to suck for the balance of his
life, that his term of enlistment expires
next October; when his terrible career
of six years la squandering the peoples
money will be bLought to All end.
With these explanations the devil is
apparently satisfied for the present.
