The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1892-09-09

A doctor, who was treating one of his
patients for simple but tedious disorder,
found the man in such an irritable con-
dition that he began to cheer him up.
But his words fell on deaf ears, for the
man had been housed up SO long that he
was firmly convinced that his time had
come.
'Tut, tut" said the doctor. "I'll have
you round again in few days if you'll
keep quiet ~ take the medicine. Why,
man, suffer from the same complaint
as you myself"
There was look of compassion in the
paiiGnt's eyes as he reached out the bot
tie ~ said:
"In sthat case, doctor, do take some of
this medicine you prescribed for me-"
The man had grown almost hopeful
under the influence of the doctors reas-
surfing words, but his hopes were cruelty
dashed the next moment as the medical
man drew back from the bottle with a
shudder and replied, "No, thanks

buried Alive After All.

In Ireland the custom used to prevail
of burying the dead as soon after their
certified decease as possible. 1t is very
probable that many were thus buried
alive. It is related that certain DR..
Walker, of Dublin, entertained such
strong views upon this question that he
never wearied of discoursing upon it,
and even wrote pamphlet embodying
his views, which was widely circulated.
While conversing one day with his
friend Mrs. Bellamy, celebrated
actress, the lady informed him that she
herself would take care that he should
not be committed to the cold embrace
of mother earth until indisputable EVIL
dence was forthcoming Of his death,
provided his decease preceded hers.
Some time afterward the doctor con-
tracted a fever, of which it was sup
posed he died. In spite of the opposition
he had raised to the prevailing custom,
he was buried the day following. Mrs.
Bellamy was at the time in Ireland, and,
hearing of his death and burial, she
FASTENED to Dublin, and at once had his
body exhufned. Her considerable offices,
however, came too late. On opening
the coffin it was found that the doctor
had evidently revived since his inter-
ment, for he was found lying upon his
side.AYankee Blade.

Coal in Indian Territory.

"My home is in the Choctaw nation"
said DR.. E. N. Allen, who dwells at Nc
Allister, thriving town noted for its
extensive coal mines, to a reporter at
Wizards. "And l want to tell you,"
he continued, "that when it comes to
mineral wealth, though yet in an unde-
veloped state, there are few sections of
this country equal to ours. Next to
Pennsylvania we have the finest coal in
the United States, producing coke of the
very best quality, which finds a ready
market even in Philadelphia. A thou

Curious Tricks of Memory.

One of the queerest freaks of the men,
DRY is the trick-often enough noted for
that matter--which some peoples mem
cries have of seeming to recall only the
things that the mind never made any
effort to remember, and letting 80 irrev-
ocab'' all the things that the mind did
consciously attempt to store up. Pos
sibly the Listener has once before told
the story of friend of his, whose occu-
patton is more or less literary, who can
remember but one single piece of poetry,
and that was piece of doggerel that
his seat mate in school once learned! All
the divine verse that he himself has Oft
en- labored to commit is gone forever;
but this piece of doggerel which the
other boy labored to learn, but probably
totally forgot in month or a year,
sticks fast in his mind.
Everybody's memory has tendency
to hold fast to mischief and nonsense
and let serious and important things go.
However, this very characteristic of the
memory is a thing that can be made use
of if we know how to do it. If we are
bright enough at the right time to take
in these useful things somewhat after
the easy and enjoyable fashion that we
take the agreeable nonsense, the chances
are that they will stick by us.-Boston

man was at the station, waiting to meet
his mother. who lives with him here,
but had been down in Pcnnsy III
one Of the small towns of the coal
regions visiting relatives. Tho mother
arrived, and after the usual osculatory
greetings the son bethought himself Of
her baggage. She went to the baggage
room with him and pointed out very
small trunk. .

man in tones Of mock surprise and dis

church was packed and religious fervor
reached its climax. The preacher was
picturing the horrors of hell and the

Two Specimen Protectionists.

The two following incidents throw
curious light upon McKinleyism as a
,orrupting force in our political life,
and the fact that they have been extern
'ively exploited by Republican newspa-
pers as campaign material is still more
curious thing.
Philadelphia firm, which seems to
oe the only concern in this country man.
afacturing phosphorus, writes letter to
Governor Mckinley to say that they
''are doing prosperous business" as
the result of the higher protection which
be gave them. The letter closes with
trusting that the country at large will
zee that it is vitality to the interest of the
prosperity of the whole country that
protective tariff principles shall triumph
at the coming election"
The milk in the cocoanut for this firm
is that Mckinley raised the duty on
phosphorus from ten cents IL pound to
twenty cents. OF course they will row
vote for Republican protection and pre-
tend that ''the prosperity Of the whole
country" demands that all the match
manufacturers and match burners in
the United States should be taxed for
the benefit of this one Philadelphia
firm!
The second incident is the "conver-
sion" of one j. Fl. Clark, silk manu-
facturer Of Cobleskill, N. Y. This man
is represented by the protectionist Or
gans as changing his politics for the
money there is in protection for him.
The New York Tribune represents him
as saying: sit is protection pure and
simple that has enabled Inc to float this
silk mill. Protection is a great thing.
1t has made my factory" And the milk
in his cocoanut is a duty of so to 60 per
cent. ON silk goods ~ l,lp
1t is not strange that these two manu-
facturers should confess, in effect, that
Mckinley has so used the taxing power
OF the government as to buy their votes.
Nor is it strange that Republican organs
should parade such confessions before
the public without shame.
The singular thing is that they expect
to win votes in this way But they are
mistaken. Facts like these can but
serve to show the people the insidious
corruption that turks in protection. The
papers are simply proving
that Mckinleyism is vast vote buying
scheme carried on at public expense.
