HE KNEW THE MULE.

An Innocent Witness Nodded to
Balaam's Acquaintance.
During the trial of a horse case in
Judge Otis court, a few days ago. a
scene was enacted that struck the,
chords of humor in the judge. attorneys.
jurors. and spectators to an extent not
often witnessed in court. One of the
attorneys persistently referred to the
horse as "that mule" He called an ex-
pert witness to testify as to the value
and qualities of the horse. 1t soon be-
came apparent that the witness was not
as familiar with the horse as desired.
The attorney asked the following ques-
tons:
You know that to be the same mule? You
know the mule ? You may not know the mule
fully. but you have a nodding acquaintance
with him =
The witness nodded, assented. and
left the stand with a face a shade redder
than two two slices of mangel wurtZel
beet, while the occupants of the court
room, including the court, shook their
sides with laughter.

THE e STRONGHOLD.
Encouraging Meeting in the First
Ward.

The Democrats of the First ward are
of the true blue Jef%fers0nian variety.
Rainy weather has no terrors for them,
as was demonstrated by the large num-
Der who assembled at Turgeon's a l. on
Payne avenue, last evening. There
were several fine addresses delivered
by Hon. John l.. Townley, o. HI.
O'Neil and DR.. Fleisburg. The
latter delivered one of the most elo-
duent talks of the campaign and was
given a most fattering reception. Hon.
A. T. Lindholm, of Saltwater, the
Democratic nominee for secretary OF
state, was present and shook hands with
his numerous friends. it was a great
meeting, considering the weather, and
shows the excellent condition in which
the Democrats of the First ward find
themselves at this stage in the cam
paign.

BY THE WAY.

There are probably many lovers of the edf-
bic mushroom who are not aware hat the
tempting d~elicacy can be had for the trouble
of gathering in the very heart of the city. A
bon vivant of my acquaintance tells me that
he quite frequently picks fine samples of the
e~sculent in the various city parks. My friend
has a quick eye to discern the dainties, and
u~nerring judgment which enables him to Sc
lect none but the wholesome variety. 1t is
doubtless due to the fact that so few know
the genuine from the poisonous kind that
any are left to be gathered in such fire.

Smith parks.
Imet a highly esteemed friend of mine on
the street a few days after it had been known
that j. j. Hill had promised a cool half-mill-
ion for the building and endowing of a Cath
Ole seminary. My friend seemed TO think
that a much better use might have been
made of the money, and he is one OF those
good people who have an idea that the fos-
tering of such establishments leads to the
ENGRAVING of un-Ameriean views and prac-
tees upon our civil institutions. Just as l
was endeayoring to explain to him that
everything Catholic was not necessarily revo-
lutionary, the subject of our remarks passed
slowly down the street. HIS brow was placid,
dlId blo lhdGo III ii HAL M11O d
conscious that he had made good use of the
wealth with which he has been so abundantly
blessed. Mr.. Hill owes his immense fortune
to his own efforts, and he certainly has a
right TO do as he chooses in the matter of
selecting objects Tor his bounty. Besides, he
has been very liberal at various times towards
nearly every religious body on this CONT
nent, and if he thought well TO make an eS-
p~ecially large gift to the church of his own
utilization it was no more than right and
proper.

If you never have enjoyed a stroll on Gro
Gus hill. you do not yet know all the lowell
ness in the way of scenery which adorns our
city. / walked alone there one Sunday even
ing late in the month of September, and
shall never forget the calm beauty of the
hour. All around the p~alatial mansions
stood out against the sky in the several va
rieties of noble architecture. In the little
park the fountain splashed musically. while
the air was filed with the sweet aroma of a
thousand flowers. High in the heavens the
radiant moon shone gloriously, shedding her
peaceful rays over the river valley and the
distant bluffs and upon the abodes of men.
Far away the great cantilever bridge swung
like a gemmed zone across the Mississippi;
still further off the electric lights were flash
ing. The precipitous bluffs across the vale
doomed up silver-grey, and just below. and
as If to relieve the almost oppressive solitude,
a railway train with its bright-colored lamps
threaded its serpentine course to the busy
terminus. Scarce a sound was heard, save
the barking of a dog far off on the flats be-
low. The time and scene, alike, were replete
with restful tranquilizing influences.

Democrats OF the True Blue
Order.
The Cleveland Democratic Club of
the Fifth Ward, held a good and enthu-
siastic meeting last night at Ayd's hall.
The rainy weather did not deter a good
ly number of the faithful Democrats,
as well as some Republicans, from at
tending what was the opening meet
ing in that part of the ward. A. D..
Warner called the meeting to order and
made a short address. Aid. Banholzer
was afterwards called to the chair and
presided. The audience gave close and
earnest attention to the speeches made
by A. E. WisIizenus, F. P. Nuzum, T.
d. O'Brien and j. G. Michael. The
speakers were well received. and the
points made on the tariff and against
the Republican record were heartily APP
plauded. The meeting lasted until after
10 o'clock.

Two Giants

On the one hand-Serofula, the ancient
disease, known the world over, gnawing at
the yitals of every nation, existing in the
blood of nearly every family-descended to
us from our fathers or acquired by our wrong
habits and indulgences-powerful, obstinate,
almost impregnable.
On the other hand-Hood's S~arsaparilla,
the modern medicine. the great enemy of i'm
pure blood, accomplishing the most wonder
full cures of scrofula, salt rheum, etc.-the
conqueror of disease, economical, reliable.
If you suffer at all from the Giant of Dis
ease, conquer him by the aid of the Giant Of
Health.

Unusual Foresight of a Candidate.


A lady of Warsaw, Poland, adver-
tised in the paper that she was willing
10 accept proposals for marriage, and,
giving a description of herself, she
also enumerated the qualifications she
required in her sutton. Among those
qualifications she mentioned that he
must be the owner of real estate. She
received many letters in reply, but
one of them was strikingly original.
The writer said that he possessed all
that which the lady desired in her fu-
ture husband. He was good looking,
he held respectable position, he had
many friends and was received in good
society, and could support family
comfortably. And as to real estate,
he had that. too; he was the owner of
a plot of ground in a cemetery which
was large enough to accommodate
him. a wife and six children. The
lady selected. the writer of this letter
from the whole number of suitors.
She opined that young man of his
position who had thought of acquiring
graves for himself and large family
before he was married was surely
worthy of the endow ment &her hand
and heart.

Death From Tight Lacing.

Happily the practice of tight lacing,
though still fruitful source of Illness
does not now occupy foremost place
among the recognized causes of death.
The fact that it does occasionally
stand in this position, however, should
be noted by those foolish persons
whose false taste and vanity have
made them the suffering devotees of a
custom so in. uriOus. 1t should be re-
membered also, that whatever may be
said of the more evident effects, the
indirect consequences of thus tightly
girding the body can not be exactly
estimated. They can not be but hurt
full. The veriest novice in -asaaafttuny
understands how by this process al
most every important organ is sub ect-
ed to cramping pressure its functions
interfered with, and its relations to
other structures so altered as to render
1t, even if it were itself competent, a
positive source of danger to them.
Chief among the disorders thus in
duced are those which concern the. cir
culation, aud it is to the laSrfboring in
capacitS~off@2 heart thus imprisoned
r and impeded, Both as regards the out
flow and return of blood, that such dis
astrous consequences as occurred not
long ago in a Berlin theater must be
attributed, According to the Lancet,
one of the actresses, who had taken
part in an evening performance, and
then seemed to be perfectly well, was
found next morning dead in bed. Sub
sequent examination Of the body
showed that death was due to syncope,
and this was attributed to tight lacing.
which the deceased had practiced to
an extreme degree. AS regards the
persons Immediately affected, the
warning conveyed by this incident is
obvious.

BREATHED UNDER WATER.
A FrenChmaD's Escape fromBrIgands by
q Clever Ruse.

A FrenChman's Escape fromBrIgands by
a Clever Ruse.
Fenimore Cooper. in his stories of
hairbreadtf escapes from Indians,
never hit upon more extraordinary
device for eluding pursuit than one
which was related TO President Carnot
during recent tour in Corsica. A
French traveller, so the story went,
ventured some years ago to pass
through a. mountainous district of
Corsica without escort or any means
of protection, and. in crossing a par
ticularly rough and craggy region,
found himself pursued by band of
brigands.
AS the traveller had some money on
his person, and feared that besides be-
ing robbed, he would be held in cap
tivity for ransom, even if'he were not
put to death, he took to fight
Knowing. little of the country, he
soon stumbled on the border OF lake
in the mountains. There was no path
around it; twas impossible to swim
across, and the brigauds we're behind
him. though he was hidden from them
as yet by the rocks.
Whatever he did must be done in
an instant. Necessity quickened his
wits; he saw at once way out of the
difficulty and availed himself of it.
He hastily cut with his knife one of
the long hollow reeds that grew on the
shore OF the lake. Then he stopped
up his ears and nostriIs with wet clay
from the margin, took the reed in his
mouth; and waded<out into deep wafer,
where he remained submerged, with
upturned face, just allowing the upper
end of the reed to project above the
surface.
On came the brigands, following the
travellers tracks to the waters edge.
But what had become OF him? had
he flown acrossp Certainly he could
not have swan. There was no other
way OF escape, and the surface had by
this time stilled to perfect calm.
The brigands remained waiting on
the shore for some time, but no sign
OF the traveller APPEARED. They con-
cluded at last that he was a sorcerer,
who had caused himself to vanish into
thin air.
Then they disappeared, and the
Frenchman. who had been under
water all this time. breathing through
his tube came out. He managed to
keep under cover, and make his way
to Ajaccio; and there he declared that
he had been under water for four
hours.
1t is possible that his distress and
alarm may have caused this period to
appear many times longer than IL
really was; but, in confirmation Of the
main part OF his story the Frenchman
brought with him a water-soaked sec.
ton 81 4 hollow reed.
