 Burdette.
 "No, sir" said Farmer Thistlepod, "you needn't tell me anything about the beauties of . free government. Pm sick of 1t. Pve toiled and moiled and dug and delved on his farm, boy and man, forty five years, and all Pve been able to do has been to pay taxes, keep up the interest on e mortgage and wish I had money enough to take out little insurance on the stock, but l can't do 1t. Pastor was here this morning urgin' me to try to do little more for the church, an I had to tell him l was goin' to give up my pew at the. end of this quarter; just got to do 1t; haven't the money, tell you, and what's more, you can't make it on a farm in this country. I don't know farmer In York State that is maxim enough to pay for labor on the farm" That night three burglars who over heard the old man talking in this strain to the church clerk came into his house at midnight, gagged him, tied him down on the Kitchen table and held torch to his feet until he came down, and got away with four thousand dollars in cold cash, $S, ,5OO in United States bonds, four gold watches, two breechloading shotguns, English; six-hundred dollars worth of solid silver and about . dozen cut throat mortgages on western farms, drawing nine per cent interest. Ana nias doesn't fall dead as he used to, but he suffers . great deal more than if he did.

 The other morning, avs Puck, e the departing CunArd steAmship was casting of its lines and swinging out into the stream, an elderly looking business man hastily embraced . lady who was one of the passengers and rushed down the gang plank to the wharf.
 Going hurriedly up to melancholy loafer who was watching the busy crowd, the gentleman drew behind . pile of freight and sAid:
 "Want to earn c dollar7"
 "You bet"
 "You sec that lady in black on the bridge there1" said the citizen.
 "Cert."

 "Well, Pm too busy to fool around here; stock to buy, biz to attend to. She's little near-sighted % Pll just hire you to wave this handkerchief instead. It's a big one, with . rcd border, and as long as she sees 1t she'll think it's me. Come up to POP Wall street when they are we'll of and I'll pay you"
 "S'posin' she looks drought tele- scope or suthin'1"
 "In that case you'll have to bury your face In the handkerchief and do the great weep act"
 "Thatll be fifty cents extra"
 "All right. Time is money. Look sharp now. You can kiss your hands 6 few times at, say, one dime per kiss" and mapping his watch the over driven business man rushed oG.
 We print this effecting little incl dent to call attention to the fact that the man thus employed has gone into the business regularly. He Is now 6 professional fareweller, and business men and others can save valuable time and yet give their departing relatives an enthusiastic send-off by applying to the above specialist any steamship day.

Dr. Brown Sequard's Elixir of Life.
 Dr. William A. Hammond, in North American
 Review.
 The first information received in this country of Dr. Brown Sequard's researches was through telegram to a New York newspaper, conveying such imperfect details, however, that the writer was disposed to question either the authenticity of the report or Dr. Brown-Sequard's mental eQui- librium. It was apparently stated that various glands of the body were used in his experiments, and that Dr. Brown-Sequard had sud- denly become a very much younger man than he had been. Further in- formation, however, showed the ex- act nature of his experiments and of the claims which he had set up in their behalf. The writer therefore deter mined to examine into the matter for himself, and as the result of his inves- tigation he Is enabled to give, in such general terms as arc suitable for Q secular journal like the North Aneyi- can ReUies0, 6 confirmation of Dr. Brown-Sequard's statements, % far as his researches have extended. And not only this, but he has apparently shown that muscular rheumatism of long standing has been entirely re- lieved after 6 single injection of the juice in question. He has been care ful to state, and he still so declares, that all the experiments performed up to this time are not sufficient to estab- fish the claims of this glAndular juice as an alleviator of old age or 6 curer of any disease whatever. The whole matter is yet in its experimental stage, and it will there remain until the sub ject has been examined into by many physicians under different circum- stances, and general coincidence of opinion obtained. Now, Dr. Brown-Sequard did not go blindly to work with his experiments, for every intelligent physician knows the rela- tion which exists between the glands in question and the mental and physi- cal condition of the animal to which they belong. There Is much G-prtori reasoning to support the conclusions at which he has arrived. They are not based upon empiricism, but are rational investigations carried out with intelligence. Whether or not he has made any apparent addition to our means of assuaging the infrmities of old age or of curing disease, time alone can show. But those physicians who denounce honest investigation in this or any other direction are unworthy the profession to which they belong, and should be relegated to some limbo where they can enjoy their self satis- faction without coming in contact with their more energetic brethren.

MY COLORADO GOLD MINE.
Philadelphia Call.

PhilAdclpnM Call.
 We are travelling over the Uncom- pahgre, just west of the beautiful little mining town of Lake City, Col, and had climbed the dizzy heights as far as our outfit could go, so we stopped to cook our midday meal and allow our burros to gather what sustenance they could from the stunted grass which grew just below timber line.
 Our party consisted of three people. Jim was the chief cook and bottle washer or, rather, the handy man of the camp, and looked after the burros, their packs, and laid out the route. My husband was one of those jolly, light hearted fellows who, when given a gun, was quite unconscious Of the fact that there was a world around him, while I, adventurous 1, had sworn to find gold mine before went back to the States.
 At every halt of the wagon l clam bered out and, taking 6 intercollegiate hammer as companion to aid me in my labors, would scale the toughest rocks and dig into the most improbable crevices in search of the precious metal. I was persistent, and more than determined, and there was no distracting my attention from the fascinating pursuit.
 On the day in question was stand ing on the steep side of the mountain, after long hour of tedious and weari- some climbing where never foot of man had trod before. The great rocks below stood with jagged points to transfx me should my foot play me false, and I shuddered as 1 looked down from my awful height.
 The valley spread out before my gaze was Q wonder of beauty. The streams running down from the side of the great range seemed like little silver threads glinting under the blaze of the monday sun.
 The scene was perfect in its grand eur and repose. Nature was resting her mighty forces, and gathering strength to feed her forests and mead ows, to bless alike the flower and weed. As I stood musing upon the subject brought to mind the valley seemed to move in 6 slow, rocking motion from side to side and then rise ur like hesying bosom.
 knew I was growing dizzy, and braced myself against . rock near which I was standing. Then, woman like, screamed, and as I did SO the great rock trembled, lurched forward, and went crashing down the moun- tain aide. shrank back in time to save myself from falling, and by the aid of . more friendly support steadied mysef until regained my composure. The stone uncovered the entrance to .

now would be . bitter disappointment which could never survive.
 My husband laughed off my fears and talked hopefully of our bright future, and song burst from his lips as he urged our tired burros onward. 1 was yet too weak to sit up and was partly propped and wrapped in blAn- kets.
 The road became rougher and more rocky, and could feel the wagon sway at every Jog over the stones. Finally 1t gave 6 screech and 6 groan and went down with a crash.
 l could feel myself fAlling-fAlling falling.
 l awoke with a start, rubbed my eyes and looked around my room. The candle on the little, old fashioned bureau flickered wildly and cast ian tastic shadows on the wall. I am the poor female compositor yeti My husband? Alas, have none.

little feminine shriek of joy, for here was my gold minei Yes, I could pick up nuggets of almost the pure metal, as we'll as dirty-looking pieces of stone which seemed bound with wire gold.
 staggered back and covered my face with my hands. The past rose before me, with all the bitter struggles against poverty, and tears rolled down my cheeks. It was all over now. No more would my tired fingers lift the types to the stick ,or deftly return them to their places. The "female compos- itor" was s rich woman.
 Realizing the present, thought of going to camp and telling my husband of my gold mine-the gold mine for which had stood so many good nat ured sneers. But my womanly shrewdness asserted itself, and I se- lected four sticks and drove them into the ground with my hammer, as stakes to the claim. finished by taking my handkerchief and laying 1t down SO that the India ink stamp showed plainly who held the title to the cave and all it contained should any wan dering prospector be led by the hand of fortune to the treasure she had just shown me.
 Then l picked up & couple of the largest nuggets and started eagerly back to camp to tell my husband. Be- fore going half the distance I nearly stumbled over him, sitting on a stone and closely scrutinizing fragment of rock he held in his hand. His gun was thrown aside, and 30 intent was he in examining the specimen that he did not look up as 1 approached.
 "Hello !" said softly, "the specu- lator is hunting gold mine, toop
 He glanced up and colored slightly.
 "No, but from the looks of this specimen I should say there ought to be one near here," he replied gravely, turning the bit of stone over and over in his hands.
 "I know there is," I returned with 6 forced indifference in my voice that surprised myself.
 "The devil you do, he cried, spring. ing to his feet and dropping the speci- men he had been so infinitely study ing.
 could keep the secret no longer, so handing him the two nuggets told him of the wonderful cave of gold had discovered, as fast as & woman's tongue could fly. Half choking with excitement led him to the spot. When he could comprehend fully the vast wealth that would be ours he turned to me and held out his arms. His eyes seemed to express 6 thousand apologies for the cruel jests I had sui fered, and all the great, manly love he bore me filled my heart with happi- ness. hid my face in his breast, and he cried like baby.
 Finally we sat down to arrange what we should do. He proposed to work the mine. I only wanted to take all the nuggets we could haul and start for the states. He argued, but held firm. At last had my way about it, and we carried great loads of it down to camp and packed it in the wagon. It meant untold wealth for us. 1 was in fever-almost became de- lirious over our fortune. It seemed as If my mind would be unbalanced by the great joy. My husband made 6 great bed in the wagon and easily con- cealed our treasure beneath 1t. Ten derly he placed me among the blankets and soothed me back to reason again. It was ofthe utmost importance that we keep our secret until we reached the end of our journey, or we would

Iron ns Flsh Fond.

An extraordinary " find in n fish "
was made in tho Market Hall by fish
dealer named George Smith, who owns Il
stall there. Among tho many consign-
mcnts Of fish which he received was "A
number of large congcr cells sent from
Skibcrccn, County Cork, Ireland. Tho
congcr is known to be n very vicious fish,
but one could scarcely believe that he
would swallow two pounds nine ounces of
iron. Yet such was the morscl found in
tho stomach of one of the cells. Mr..
Smith was cutting up tho fish when his
knife encountered something hard, and
on opening the stomach he found n largo
iron bolt, which had evidently been part
of ships tackle.
The bolt is about foot long, and Mt
the end ID large ring, two inches and u
half or three inches in diameter.
The bolt itself is rs thick as an ordin-
nry Malacca cane.
The eel weighed about two stone and
was yard and hnlf long. His swallow
ing capacity may be, judged from the fact
that good sized mackerel was also found
in the stomach. The bolt is eaten away
by rust, and is of type decidedly out of
date, SO that it had probably lain on tho
bottom of the sen long time before it
was swallowed by the col. The latter's
stomach and back were considerably in
famed, and there is little reason to doubt
that it would soon have died from indi-
gcstion. A curious feature of the case is
that the fish was blind in one eye. In
spcctor Latham told our representative
that many curious things were oftcntimes
found in the stomach of fish sent to the
Market Hall, and instanccd his remarks
| by stating that n short time back the arm
| of child was discovered inside n large
Goldfish. There may, after oil, be truth
in the old stories of missing rings and
jewels being restored to the light through
this agency. = Birmingham (EnglanD
