All Anecdote Abou, Inserscll.

A story is told of Colonel Robert G. In
gersoll to show that, when he lived in
Peoria, Illinois. he believed in much
talked -of-subterranea region, whose ex-
istence he has since vebemently discredited.
He was engaged as counsel by pretty
and attractive widow who had n claim
against u corporation, which it would not
pay. For the company appeared Jonathan
Cooper, an able lawyer and devout
Presbyterian, During his argument he
referred to the Colonel as often unreason-
able, on account Of his great sympathy
with the plaintiff, charming women always
arousing his chivalry to such an extent as
to make him unmindf,1l of sound law.
lngersoll, in reply, admitted his sincere
admi ration of the SEX, whether rs maid
ems wives OF mothers, and declared that
he would rather sit on a rough bench in
Hades, talking with beautiful woman
for fifteen. minutes than stay forever in
Jonathan Cooper's heaven, singing psalms
and playing on n celestial banjo. This
raised the laugh on Cooper, who joined in
it himself, and the decision OF the jury was
given in favor OF the widow.

Medical Women IL, Paris.

Eight feminine physicians ara regular
practitioners in Paris, the most noted CT
them being Madame Madeline Bres, who
was the first to take the degree doctor of
medicine. This she received through
favor of the Empress Eugene, who, during
her husbands absence at Chalons, opened
the door to the profession for madame, de-
lighted at the establishment of SO desirable
precedent. DR.. Bres has a large num-
Der Of patients of both sexes, many Of
them distinguished. She writes OH hygien,c
subjects frequently and ably, mingles III
the best society, is 81 brilliant talker on
light or solid topics, and is the salaried
physician of the Theatre Chatelet. At
first all the would be wits of Paris tried
to make the feminine doctors ridiculous !;
but these have shown so much ability
and skill that the satirical arrows could
not hurt their professional reputation.
Madame Rose Perree is social favorite
and receives big fees Mademoiselle Yer
neuips speciality is brain disease, and
several others have had marked success
with nervous affections of their own sex.
Nobody but a woman can fully sympatilize

The saxcaarsc woman.

Have you ever met the sarcastic young
woman? No! Well, she is a pest. The
giddy girl, the gushing girl, the lackadais-
ical miss are not ornaments whose loss
would cause the world grief, but they can
be tolerated. The sarcastic maiden should
be suppressed by law. The school is grow
ing. Nobody likes the sarcastic girl
everybody fears. and many bate her. Her
stock in trade may originally have been
SATIRE but has long ago degenerated into
impudence I'D with the degeneration has
slipped avl: 'er ability to see the differ
ence betw. IN what was and what is--be-
tween satire and inpudence. She has
been fostered in the family circle, and
generally stays there. She began with
mild criticisms Of her friends and ends
with lampoonirg them. Now she has
none, and caricatures her acquaintances.
Her parents a,pplauded her early efforts,
and she reta1iates by staying on their
hands. The family think her brilliant,
young men avoid her, and what the world
knows as scur old maid is generally
thus created.--I Vanity Fair.

Locating a Mine.

Whitlach went into the Palmer House
barber shop the other night and made q
sensation by u funny mineral discovery
which he claimed to have found in the
marble tiling. AS Is known, the tonsorial
professor at the Palmer House has had
sunk in each Of the dark marble blocks of
his floor silver dollar. There are 267 of
these dollars, and the effect is odd and
puzzling to the hucollc mind. The dollars
are sunk into the marble, and made
flush with the surface. Each piece is Sc
cured with cement and also by g wire
which passes through and under the tiling.
Jim" Whitlach went in the other
night, glanced down, and, affecting not to
see the mint marks on the dollars, said:
''Great God, boys! Look here! Native
silver right in the croppin's C#sar's
ghost! Let's nail herr and out came a
pile Of prospectors' blank notices. in two
minutes Jim had one filed out and in
another second there was tackled up notices
of location of the palmer mine, scon-
tanning 800 feet on the Palmer lode, with
ali its metes and bounds, dips spurs and
angles" The BARRIERS laughed and took
Whitlach for 81 crank, but he insisted up
on it that the lode was a true fssure, that
it carried native silver from the groupings,
and that he would begin at once to sink
shaft, and with that he out with PEN
knife and began to dig up one OF the dol
lars. There was rush of two OR three
of the BARRIERS, but Whitlach pulled re-
volver three feet long and pointed signi-
ficantly at his :'no1ice Of location" The
joke ended, as ali such Jokes do, by friends

graceful accomplished, singu]arly modest
withal, and is resolved to pursue music as

having heard her i'll Cincinnati, where she
had attended the College of Music, was
SO much pleased that he invited her to

The poet Of the Boston Courier thus
i1nrnortalizes the female crush hat:
Somebody has invented theatre hat
for ladies'. 1t is operated by a spring to
which IL string is attached. When the
curtain rises the lady pulls the string and,
presto, the hat collapses, falls flat on the
head BY pulling the string it again is
restored to it's original shape. These hats
will doubtless be generally worn by
ladies who are in the habit OF going to the

be paid woman than TO have it said
OF her:
Shes as beautiful as an angel.
And ns amiable as she is fair,

PLUCK AND PRAYER.

There want any use o. fretting.
And I told Obadiah SO,
For If we couldn't hold Oh to things
We'd jest got to let them go,
There were lots Of folks that'd suffer
Along with the rest Of US.
And it didn't seem to be worth our while
To make such dreffle 1nuss.
To be sure, the barn was most empty,
An corn an pertaters sca'ce.
An not much of anything plenty and chear
But water an apple-sass:
But them as told Obadiah,
1t want any use to groan,
For flesh an blood could't stan it, an he
Was nothing but skin "a bone.

At any hour Of the night,

'Twould have set yon crazy quite.

With cloth that was no ways thin,
But it seemed as if the pieces wore out
AS fast as set en- ill.,
To me he said mighty little
OF the thorny way we trod.
But at least a. dozen times a day
He talked it over with God
Down on his knees in that closet
The most of his time was passed;
For Obadiah knew now to pray.
Much better than how to fast.
But am that way contrary
That if things don't so just right
feel like rollin' my sleeves up high
An getting ready to fight.
An the giants slew thas winter
amt goin' to talk about;
And didn't even complain to God,
Though think he found it out.
With the point of a cambric needle
Idruv' the wolf from the door,
For knew that we needn't starve to death
Or be lazy because we were poor.
And Obadiah he wondered.
And kept me patchin' his knees,
An thought it strange how the meal held
out.
An stranger we didn't freeze.
But said to myself in whispers
God knows where his gift descends:"
An 'tisn't always that faith gets down
AS far as the finger ends.
An I would not have no one reckon

For some, you know. have the gift to pray,
An others the gift to work.
