In support OF this statement he cited

all played their part. On the other

New York hospital was frightened into
getting well. This man was brought

from heart failure.
| He was laid on a table and dag
nosis showed him to be suffering with

of his assistants and, asking for knife,

leaping from the table, started for the

man was cured and never came back.
Some time ago four criminals, con-

which they were told a number OF
cholera patients had died. AS mat

were informed that they would be set
at liberty if they would undergo the
ordeal of sleeping several nights in the
beds. From the prisoners point of

When an adaptive young man from
the far corner Of some New England
or western state lives for time In
New York, and absorbs enough of its
atmosphere to gain the prestige Of q
regular boulevardier, it's pretty hard
now and again to have old times thrust
upon him in the person of primitive
cousin or brother-in-law, whom he is
bound in conscience to entertain. A
case of this kind occurred last week,
in which the artless relative saw moth
ing but screamingly funny lapse OF

found a modification therein which
was pretty hard to live through.

ONLY a MISTAKE, AFTER ALL.

And Nothing for Respectable Coiored
Gentleman to Worry About.
A serious blunder occurred in West
Virginia county not long ago. A num-
ber,of the farmers had sustained losses
of sheep from their respective hocks,
and, being skeptical as to the efficiency
of the law officers, one night took the
matter in their own hands. A dozen or
more Of them proceeded some miles
away, to the house Of Rehoboth Jem-
son, and, notwithstanding his protesta-
tions of innocence, gave him severe
drubbing.
The affair created no little STIR, as
Rehoboth was very respectable col
ored man, who owned snug little farm
and was a deacon in the Baptist church.
He had the confidence and esteem OF
his white neigh bors, who were so
worked up over the matter that they
considered the expediency Of an investi-
CATION that should lead to the punish
ment of the raiding party.
Within few days the farmers dlscov-
cred they had made: an awkward mis-
take, the guilty party having been
caught red handed and had made full
confession; SO, being in the main right
good set Of fellows they decided to offer
balm to Rehoboth for his many wounds.
Three Of their number were designated
committee with full power to act, and
they FASTENED to the discharge Of their
duty. Old Rehoboth was sitting in his
neat little cabin with bandaged head,
while his wife was applying cooling
wash to his lacerated back. The COM
mittee, looked foolish and scarcely knew
how to begin; but finally one Of the
number stammered out an apology, and
added that they were willing to pay
reasonable amount as recompense for.
