aside and bowing courteously.

leaned on his back, thrusting his head over
his shoulder. Saphir drew out his hand

your PARDON" said Saphir, 81 thought it

An Australian prince, who was also an
archbishop, swore horribly at a banquet
and, pefceiving that Saphir looked at him
in surprise, angrily asked the cause Of bis
astonishment. 81 thought an archbishop
would not allow himself to swear,' ans
wered the Wit. 81 was not swearing as an
archbishop, but as a prince" explained the
prelate. "Ah," said Saphir, thoughtfully,
"but suppose the devil fetches the prince,
what will become of the archbishop"

at the present time between two and three
million cigarettes In bond at the London
docks, having been damaged on the voyage
from America or Turkey. These are sold
at auction for about one shilling and six.

His Fighting Kiss,

humor and pathos that grow happier
and sweeter as those Jour dark years

to start for the South. The time of
parting had come and weeping mothers
hung over the sons that they were
sending away.
Almost every one of the boys had
some to see him off and wish him God
speed, but there was one who, leaning
upon his musbet, stood away from the
crowd alone. Nobody had come to bid
him goodby. AS he watched the fare
wells OF the others, his eyes fell on an
old mother who had kissed her son and
turned away. AS she was leaving, the
watching and lonely boy followed her.
IN moment more he had reached her
side
"Please, ma'am," he said, Il Just saw
you kiss your boy good by"
The Old lady turned and looked at
him, and he continued: "I'm all alone
and no one has had a parting word for

him on the TO ehead, and then with

of the keenest and most polished speci-
mems of satire / ever came across:
'Dlsraeli, the great English Premier, as
is well known, was defeated several
times before he was elected to Parl1a-
ment. In one of his speeches on the
hustin.s he denounced Daniel O'Con-
nell, the great Irish agltator, as a
"bloody traitor" to which Mr.. O'Con-
nell made the retort: "For aught L
know the present Disraeli is the true
heir at law of the impenitent thief who
died on the cross" Disraeli challenged
O'Connell's SOD, Morgan, who took up
his fathers quarrel, but the challenge
was not accepted
''When the brilliant but cratic orator,
Thomas Marshall, of Kentucky, was adj
dressing a large audience in Cincinnati,
he was interrupted by q man in the
crowd, who, pretending not to hear the
speaker distinctly. endeavored to en-
barrass him by putting his hand to his
ear and crying out 'loudern Several
times did Mr.. Marshall pitch his voice
to q higher key, but the only effect was
to draw forth from his tormentor still
more energetic cries OF louder, please,
sir, louder Thus interrupted in one
o. his most thrilling appeals, Mr..
Marshall. indignant at the trick,
paused for a moment, and, fixing
his eye first on his enemy and
then on the presiding officer, said:
"Mr. Chairman, on the last day, when
the Angel Gabriel shall have descended
from the heavens, and, placing one foot
upon the sea and the other upon the
land, shall lift to his lips the golden
trumpet and proclaim to the living and
to the resurrected dead that time shall
be no more, have no doubt. sir, that

A Pointed Reply.
From the Detroit Free Pre- ss.

M. Foley, the eminent billiardist. is 6.
man of literary talent, and has had the
benefit of liberal education. How
ever, he never obtrudes his knowledge
on anybody, and many O; his friends
are not even aware that he is liberal
man. The other day laxative 1gno-
ramus was airing at great length what
he called his views" on religious mat
tiers, and after holding the floor contin-
uously half an hour, turned to Foley,
and said:
Nov, Mr.. Foley, what do you be-
ieve in?''
Compulsory education" was the
brief and significant answer.

Genuine Mound Builders.

The caving of the bank of the Big
River, about two miles south of Bonnie
Terre, Mo-, writes a correspondent of
the Globe-Democrat, has disclosed an
ancient burial ground. Six rndely con-
structed boxes, formed by setting flat
stones on edge in parallel lines, about
twenty inches apart, covered also with
fat stones, were disclosed, the end pro-
iecting from the bank some two or three
leet below the surface of the soil. On
examination each box proved to be a
coffin containing human remains. The
form of the bones could be plainly dis
cerned by the chalky substance into
which time had changed all but the
larger ones. Portions OF the larger
bones of the arms, thighs and skulls
were obtained from each of the graves
in tolerubly solid condition, but the
smaller bones, as soon as they were eX-
posed to the air, crumbled to dust.
Quite a quantity ofteeth were found In
excellent state of preservation, as also
numerous fragments of pottery. This
last circumstance determines the oc-
cupants of these silent abodes to belong
to the Mound Builders, a race of men
who had passed even out of tradition
before the advent of the white man.
The six graves were all side by side, a
space of about two feet intervening be-
tween each two. Besides these. other
graves have been found justiying the
belief that this is an extensive ancient
burial ground.
These remains of an unknown race
that once inhabited this country recall
other very interesting remains found
on the farm of William D. Huff, near
Irendale, and about twelve miles from
this place. These latter are found in a
rocky glade, covered with a soft, yellow
lsh, bastard limestone, in which, many
years ago, there we're hundreds of tracks
of human feet and of almost every ami
nal formerly inhabiting the country.
Years ago, however, the locality be-
came known to curiosity hunters, and
all the best specimens have been carried
away. Among the footprints were
those of bears deer, turkeys, etc., as
we'll as human feet, most of which were
as perfect as if they had been made by
the impression of the loot in soft mud,
which dried into stone; and indeed.
there are some who believe this to be
the case. Notwithstanding the great
number Of specimens that have been
carried away, there are still many left,
and to those who take an interest in
such matters, the locality is a highly in

The Result Of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among a discriminating people, it is
pretty good evidence that there is merit
somewhere. Few, if any, medicines have
met with such continued success and pop
ularity as has marked the progress of
BRANDRETH' S PILLS, which, after trial
of over fifty years, are conceded to be the
safest and most effectual blood purifier,
tonic and Alternative ever introduced to the
public.
That this is the result of merit, and
that BRANDRETH's PILLS perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those
who have used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

A Great Engineering Work.

A perfectly feasible and very impor-
tant ship canal is in course Of construc-
ton to connect Manchester, England,
with the estuary of the river Mersey,
which is the outlet to the sea Of the vast
commerce of Liverpool. The cost Will
not much exceed $4,000 the whole
work only requiring the excavation of
As, 100000 cubic yards and the removal
OF 100000 yards of rock. Four yea: S
rom last November is the time at which
the canal is to be finished, and the
progress made SO far is in advance o1
what this requires. The estuary OF the
Mersey is seventeen miles in length
and the river is navigable farther in
land to the mouth of the Irwell, ten
miles from Manchester, which is on the
IrMell
