He Was Surprised:

The statement of the case of the mystifled
young man. recently published, caught the eye
Of some one conversant with the facts In the
case, and he has fastened to explain, says the
Portland Ore0ontan.
There was no intention on the part of the lady
who came to the door to either score or hurt
the young man, and the drenching he received
was entirely accidental. The unfortunate
mtshap was as startling to the lady and as
much regretted by her as by the innocent vic
tim.
The lady has husband who has a panacea
for all the ills flesh is heir to-his flesh at least
and on the evening in question, not feeling well.
he asked his wife to give him a dose.
The panacea Is composed of citrate of mag
nesia and some other drug, which forms a
highly eterve6cent compound, which has to be
kept In bottles and with the corks strongly
wired in.
The lady had just cut the wire on one Of these
bottles when a ring came at the door She
would fly out so grasping the bottle in her right
hand aud placing her thumb firmly on the cork.
she darted for tie door.
AS she opened it she felt the cork slowly ris-
ing. and being embarrassed on account OF being
armed with a concealed weapon, and scared for
fear it would go off, she endeavored to point
out to the gentleman the house OF his friend,
and while doing so her thumb slipped from the
cork, loud explosion followed, and the
stranger was, as IL seemed to the startled and
distressed lady, knocked bodily off the steps
The lady hastily closed the door and flew into
the room where her husband was and told her
tale OF woe, which threw him into commissions
of laughter and quite drove all thoughts of sick
ness or medicine out of his mind. 1t is hoped
this explanation will prove satisfactory to the
young man, and that he will desist from fur
Their inquiries into the mysterious affair.
