A Discounted Washer.

The dude who undertook to "mash"
Miss Post, pretty actress in Philadel-
phia, did not succeed as he expected.
He wrote her letter asking her to take
supper with him after the opera, and re-
questing that, if she acceped the invi-
tation, she wink her right eye. Much
vexed at his impertinence, she showed
the letter to her associates, and they re-
solved to punish him. $50 when the
curtain rose on the second act" says the
Philadelphia Press, 'and the whole
company was on the stage, Mr.. De
Wolfe Hopper, who should be the first
to speak, walked deliberately to the
footlights with the letter in his hand,
and, putting on his Eyeglasses, began to
count, in manner which attracted the
attention of the entire audience, until
he singled out the New Yorker, who was
beginning to squirm under such close
scrutiny. Mr.. Hopper then removed
his glasses, and, after once more glanc-
ing at the letter, slowly and solemnly
win&ed his right eye and pointed over
his shoulder toward the back door.
The audience by this time began to sus-
pect the position of affairs, and all eyes
were fixed upon the sixth row. Then
Mark Smith stepped to the front, and,
in the same manner as Mr.. Hopper,
winked and pointed over his shoulder,
while the unlucky dude seemed trying
to shrink out of sight behind his neigh
bors. But the end was not yet, for, as
though at concerted signal the entire
company, principals and chorus, fast
ened their gaze upon the now thorough
~ uncomfortable young man, and each
deliberately winked the right eye. This
was too much for his dude-ship, and
rising in his seat, he beat hasty and
inglorious retreat amid shouts of laugh

these peaked bonnets that have velvet

who was an old college chum and an

looked me in the eye, while with many
courteous regrets made this statement,

of the author on the title page, asked
me if I could recognize my old chum

Found no Poison.

DR.. Samuel K. Cox, D. D., Practical
Analytical Chemist, Washington, D. O.,
who made thorough and careful analyses,
reports that there is neither morphis,
opium, emetics nor poisons In the Red
Star Cough Cure; that it must prove a
boon to those whose systems shrink
from the use of such compounds, and
especially to mothers, who Justly dread
the evil, and, at times, fatal effects of
these dangerous drugs. He further
states it is not only free from all opiates,
poison and emetics, Ia thing which not
one cough preparation in ten can boast)
but it is all together an original and most
happy combination of the best remedial
agents, and is as harmless as it is eff
fectiVe.

A Curiosity i'm Stacks.

Among the sales in che Stock Ex-
change of New York Central the other
day was that of lot of 500 shares at $50;
which was bought at So in 1869, and haz
been held as an investment since then.
The holder has received about ten per
cent. per annum on his investment, and
sold, it is said, with the view of making
an additional one-half per cent. and
commissions on his capital before rein
vesting it. A curious feature of the
transaction is that the stock was sold by
the same broker who bought it fifteen
years ago.
