BULLS OF PUBLIC SPEAKERS.
Some of Them Are Irish, But Others
Have a Different Paternity.

An Irishman who was very i'll when
the physician told him he must pre-
scribe an emeiic for him said: Indeed,
doctor. an emetic will never do me any
good, for l have taken several and
could never keep one of them upon my
stomach" An Irishman at cards, who,
inspecting the pool, found it deficient,
exclaimed: Here is shilling short;
who put it imp A poor Irish servant
maid. who was left-handed, placed the
knives and forks upon the dinner table
in the same awkward fashion. Her
master remarked to her that she had
placed them all left-handed. "Ah, true,
indeed, sir" she said, land so 1 have.
Would you be pleased to help me turn
the table?' Doyle and Yelverton, the
two eminent members of the Irish bar,
quarreled one day SO violently that
from hard words they came to hard
blows Doyle a powerful man at the
fists, knocked down Yelverton twice,
vehemently exclaiming: You scoun-
drel, I'll make you behave yourself
like gentleman" To which Yelver-
ton, rising, replied, with equal indigna-
ton: mo, sir, neveri l defy you.

The Hodja Nasr-Eddin, Turkish
teacher and preacher, one night shot
out of a window at what he thought
was robber but it turned out next
morning to be his own caftan hanging
up in the garden. Perceiving that an
arrow had pierced it, he cried: Thanks,

FRENCH LECTURES
By Professor de Loery in the Tenn
pIeton Hotel.

BY Professor de LOery in the Tenn
pIeton Hotel.
Monsieur de Loery's lecture in the
French language at the Templeton
hotel last Friday was attended by
large and cultured audience. The sub
ject of the lecture was, The Preach
ers of the Time of Louis XIV; Bossuet,
Fenelon, Massillon, Bourdalane, Flech-
er and Mascaron." The subject is
considered one of the most classical in
French literature. containing as it does
the highest principles of theology and
philosophy and the finest and most
elegant forms of French diction. The
lecture was highly appreciated. as the
subject was well handled by Profess
sor de Loery.
The subject for next Fridays lecture
is, Women of America Compared
with Their European Sisters" The
subject is an interesting one and will
be a treat to those learning the French
language, as Mr.. de Loery, by reason
of his extensive travels, is we'll quail
fed to speak on the subject.
A general invitation is extended to
all who wish to attend.

than one This, of course, is no news
to veteran fishermen who clean their
own fish. But there is always best
way in everything. The best way to
overcome or prevent malaria, to con-
quer incipient rheumatism or kidney
trouble, and to relieve dyspepsia,
biliousness, constipation and nervous
ness, is to begin without delay, and
to pursue steadily and regularly, the
use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
standard medicine Endorsed by medical
men everywhere. 1t strengthens the
system and improves the appetite and
sleep of those who employ it as re-
storative, and accomphshes health-giv-
ing results which fairly astonish those
previously unacquainted with its
efficacy. Invalids of all sorts testify
in it's behalf. 1t is the leading tonic of
this era

After the uncertain and clumsy oper- ations of the medieval headsman, one had been led to suppose that a human head required a great deal of sever ance; but so adept are the Chinese ex- ecutioners that they seem to display no more effort or emotion in cutting off a head than they would in looping a poppy from it's stalk
 With fearful rapidity the slaughter proceeds, and not five seconds elapse between the fall of each head. One unerring stroke ends each life, and the victims are so arranged that each can witness the fate of all those in front of him before his turn comes.
 The crowd is now in the most jovial humor, and signifies it's light-hearted enjoyment by ribald chaff at the ex- pense of the remaining victims, who frequently retort defiantly, and exhibit the most stolid indifference to their fate.
 Suddenly burst of merriment arises in, one; corner. A portly merchant has approached too near, and his long white coat is splashed with blood. How the bystanders laugh! Was there ever such good joke!
 The last few heads are falling now, when my hand is plucked by an ex- cited youngster of ten, dancing with delight, who cries, eagerly: "Ho-tai?" Qsn't it beautifully I repress a fierce desire to throttle him, and in few sec onds all is over. Justice is vindicated, and the crowd quickly disperses, all but the city gaElins, who renaain behind to rehearse t5lse whole,proceedings and to skylark witl the bodies.
 Horrible thoagA the sight has been, death has, at any rate, being swift and mercifu1, but another day the supreme horror of Chinese justice is revealed to us. 7 | For certaia offenders, notably parri- cidess and women who ksl their hus- bands, the penalty Is the'' Ling -chee, !" or thousand cuts" This is too ghastly for detailed description, but suffice it to say that the victim is first crucifed to a low cross, and then slowly sliced to | pieces with knife.
 So skillful is the eXecutioner that all | though his vie5ira soon becomes un- recognizable as human being, yet no vital wound is inflicted till perhaps half | an hour of this torture has elapsed, when the agony is ended by decapita- tion.
 So superior an entertainment as this is naturally rewarded by full house, and even greater merriment prevails than at mere head-chopping displays, which savor somewhat of monotony to the blase Cantonese.

A Rare Event.
work.

Silver weddings are not uncommon, but a silver betrothal falls to the lot of few. A case of that kind is reported from Berlin. The engaged couple first pledged thc-r troth in December, 1S69 The young lady's aunt, however, threatened to s'cut her off with shil- ling" if she dared to get married. Con- sequently, the loving couple had to forego their most ardent wish, viz: the prospect of speedy marriage. Still, they remained true to their pledge dur ing this interminable courtship. Not long ago the obdurate aunt departed this life, but by desire of the intended husband the wedding was postponed to enable the couple to celebrate the twenty-ffth anniversary of their be- trothal.
