The Perverse Printer.

The printers blunder which made
one of Mr.. Aldrich's sugared lines
speak of patent nectar" instead of
"potent nectar" was, it appears, even
funnier than it appears. A cores
pondent of the Boston Transcript SAYS
that the line originally read "a potent
medicine for gods and men," and was
misprinted "a patent medicine, etc.
It is also reported that Mr.. AS equan-
unity was upset on another occasion
because in a serious mood he wrote in
another poem, "Now the old wound
breaks out afresh," and was Mortified
to learn by the types that he "a bach
elor-had said Now the old woman
breaks out afresh."

Cou1dn't Be Imposed Upon.

The amateur farmer looked wise. He
had tramped or driven over a large
portion of the farm, and passed judg-
ment on the richness of the soil, and
had talked of the purchase of some inn
proved machinery. Altogether he'was
very favorably impressed. and an
nounced that he had about made up
his mind to buy the land.
Then he noticed little pool of bub-
bling water.
whats that?" he asked quickly.
"a spring." replied the old farmer;
zone of the purest, coldest springs in
this country"
ga cold spring!" exclaimed the am
ateur farmer.
yes, sir, and as clear as crystal"
"Look here!" said the amateur farm
er,, sternly, "do look like a man who
can be imposed upon?"
"Why, no."
"Would you pick me out for man
who doesn't know his business?"
"Of course not. Il"
"Then did you expect to unload this
farm on to me handicapped by that
thing?"
"Why, what's the matter with it?"

"Cold springs do. You can't fool me,

TWO STORIES OF SHERIDAN.
They Are Told by an Intimate Friend ana
Show His Humor.

Two good stories of General Sheri-
dan were told me the other day by
Mexican gentleman, an intimate friend
of the great northern soldier in
his lifetime. One day, calling on the
commander of the army of the Union
at his Office in Washington, he found
the hero of Winchester at his desk, his
feet encased in slippers and his shoes
economically placed on the top of
the desk. While the general was ap-
parently absorbed in some writing the
Mexican gentleman, who thought some
servant had left the warriors shoes in
the wrong place, took his cane and
gently deposited the shoes on the
floor.
The next day the Mexican gentle
man called again on Sheridan, says
the Boston Herald, and found him at
his desk, shoes on top, as before. The
polite resident of the tropics began
once more removing the shoes to the
floor, when all at once Sheridan roared
out: Don't you do that again, sir!
You make me ridiculous, sir!" II beg
your pardon, general, but how have I
made you ridiculous?" "Why, sir,n
said Sheridan, still annoyed, @yester-
went out to walk after you had called
on me. 1 was nearing the White
House when noticed gentleman
looking at me intently. Soon he ad-
dressed me, saying: Excuse me, gen.
eral, but aren't you afraid of catching
cold? why, sir, no, not that / know
of; what's the matter, STRIP WELL
said the gentleman, it is very damp,
and you are going about in your slip
pers!' Il tell you, sir, said Sheridan,
addressing his Mexican friend, @you
make me ridiculous. 1t is my habit,
sir. to put my shoes on my desk, where
| can not fail to see them, so may
! not forget to put them on, and con-
| found it, sir, you come around here
with your notions of propriety and
send me around town in my slippers,
sirl"
The other Sheridan story is OF con-
versation between Sheridan, Tom Och
iltree and the Mexican gentleman.
They were at San Antonio, Texas, and
the conversation fell on the possibility
of another war with Mexico do you
think we could whip MexicoP" asked
| the redoubtable Tom. "Can q ton
crush a pound?" sententiously replied
| Sheridan, and then it was discussed
what terms the victor might demand,
whether there would be partition of
Mexico, etc. Sheridan grew impatient.
for he was always warm friend of
the Mexican people and war with
them would not at all have suited him,
SO he blazed out: Gentlemen, in case
of war with Mexico, which God for
bid, and in case we were victorious I
would not spare Mexico. No, sir, I
would impose conditions of the most
onerous sort. I would inflict fearful
penalty on Mexico, something to
arouse the horror of mankind" @What
would that be?" demanded his now ex-
cited listeners. Gentlemen" said the
great soldier, in his most solemn man
ner, 81 would demand of Mexico that
she take back Texas" This recalls
the anecdote of General Sherman, who
said that the United States should
fight one more war with Mexico to
make her receive back New Mexico
and Arizona.

WOMAN BoNE.sETTER.
She Was Famous Last Century and Has q
Remarkable Career.

One of the best known characters of
the last century was Mrs. Mapp, the
bone-setter, who, after leading wan
dering life for some time, settled down
at EPSON.
The remarkable strength with which
she was endowed, together with such
knowledge as she acquired from her
father (himself bone-setter), mainly
contributed to the success which in
many cases undoubtedly attended her
operations.
She journeyed to town twice week
in coach-and-four, and at the Grecian
coffee-house operated on her town pa
tients, carrying the crutches back to
Epson as trophies of her skill.
During one of these visits she was
called in to the aid of Hans S1oane's
niece, and the success she met with on
this occasion became the talk of the
town.
Many remarkable cures effected by
her are noted in the public journals OF
the day, and there is no doubt that
she was in receipt of very large in
come.
In 1856 she was in the height OF
prosperity. In December of the next
year she died at her lodgings near the
Seven Dials so miserably poor that
the parish was obliged tn bury her.

son, solemly, "rm terrible afraid you
haven got much facility. If you had,
you could make that screw-driver do
or else you'd find some other way to
get them screws out without raisin'
bout old 'Bijah jenkins, the tin
kerer?"
"No, sir, can't rec'llect anything
bout him." replied Jake, after o mo-
ments reflection.
"Well," said Mr.. Babson with sigh
of regret, "there was man that had
what you might be safe to call facility.
He could right clock an set her goin'
again in no time; he could fix up a
door-lock or a hinge that was out O.
killer quicker'n wink; he could pry
things open an he could make 'em
fast. He was fust-class all-round

"Why," said Jake, glibly, "a ham,

and gimlet and an awl and"
"You can stop right where you be, "
interrupted his father. "You wouldn't
have ketched 'Bijah Jenkins burdenin'
himself with such mess O. things as
that. Folks where he went centrally
had hammer, I calc'late. If they
didn't he could make out with a stone.
All he carried was broken clothes

an hens feather an bottle O.
glue that he'd made himself"
well, l swaney," remarked Jake,
whose amazement had ineapacitated
him from further utterance.
"Yes, that was every nameable thing
he carried" repeated Mr.. Babson.
"He could screw an unscrew with the
clothes-pin an use it for a number O.
other purposes. He could pry with
the fork an he could jab with it an
bore f'r-sized hole. He could lie
with the hens feather an he could
glue with it and kind O. smooth things
up centrally. I tell you, Jake, he had
facility.
"Now, let's see if you can't make
out to get along with that screw
driver, such as it's" concluded Mr..
Babson.

by the posthr ~-~us fame of the old tin
kerer, did.-Y0uth's Companion.

An Autumn Landscape.

No wind there is that either pipes or means;
The fields are cold and still; the sky
Is covered with blue-gray sheet
or motionless cloud; and at my feet
The river, curling softly by
Whispers and dimples round it's quiet gray
stones.
Along the chill green slope that dips and
heaVeS
The road runs rough and silent, lined
With plum trees misty and blue-gray,
And poplarS pallid as the day,
l n masses spectral, underlined,
Pale greenish stems half hid in dry gray
leaves.
And on beside the rivers sober edge
A long fresh field lies black. Beyond,
Low thickets gray and reddish stand,
Stroked white with birch; and near al
hand,
Over a little steel-smooth pond,
Hang multitudes of thin and whitening sedge
Across waste and solitary rise
A ploughman urges his dull team,
A stopped gray figure with prone brow
That plungeS bending to the plough
With strong, uneven steps. The stream
Rings and re-echOeS with his furious cries.
Sometimes the lowing of a COW, long-drawn,
Comes from far Off; and crows in strings
Pass on the upper Silences.
A flock of small gray goldfinches,
Flown down with silvery twitterings.
Rustic among the birch cones and are gone.
This day the season seems like one that heeds
With fixed ear and lifted hand
Al! moods that yet are known on earth,
All motions that have faintest birth,
If haply she may understand
The utmost inward sense of all her deeds.
