We know an old maid who says it’s
bad enough for men to get married,
without fools of women imitatingthem.
—Boston Star.
Anew novel in press is called “Vice
Versa.” There is more vice than versa
in some novels, but this is vice versa.
—Norristown Herald.
An exchange heads an article “Where
Six Generals Fell.” No doubt it was
in close proximity to a saloon —where
a great many “Colonels” continue to
fall.— Norristown Herald.
Out West a man is considered nobody
unless he has “killed his man.” There
is where young physicians have the ad
vantage over the average man in migrat
ing west. —Lowell Citizen.
A Philadelphia woman was so fright
ened by a drunken man two weeks ago
that she lost her voice. And yet some
people claim that no good results from
hitemperauce.— Oil City Blizzard.
It is stated that but twelve Senators

1884 are over, most of them will cease
to aspire and commence to perspire.—
Lowell Citizen.
It is said that King C'ety wayo was so
rude as to yawn while visiting the Brit
ish House of Commons. If a member
was speaking, we don’t see how he could
help it. It is a marvel that he didn’t
fall asleep.— Norristown Herald.
A lawyer-congressman, on seeing a
pair of trousers brought into court to
prove what part of the body t his client’s
dog had bitten the complainant, moved
that they be referred to the committee
on “contested seats.”— Yonker’s Ga
zette.
Cecil. —“ What is the next thing to
a good hnsband?” Well, really, we
never gave the subject much thought,
but we imagine that the next thing to
any brand of a husband is his gauze
wear. Are we right? If not we give it
up.— The Bye.
Victor Hugo is said to be troubled
with poor sight. It is also said that he
kissed the party of female dry goods
clerks from Boston who recently visited
him; and it may be that the hinge on
one of their eye-glasses gouged him in
the optic, and impaired his vision.—
Norristown Herald.
The biggest thing the average Chica
go girl gets in her Christmas stocking
is when she puts the stocking on.—
Eugene Field. This is true, and they
don’t get very much in either. But the
biggest things those St. Louis girls get
in their stockings are upright pianos
and dressing cases. —The Eye.
Somebody shook a log-cabin bed
quilt at Oscar Wilde when he was in
this country and it knocked him so
crazy for two days that a man had to
lead him around town by a bed-cord to
keep him from butting his head against
a lump of oatmeal mush and scattering
his brains all over the union.— Bill
Nye.
An illiterate farmer, in Warfield,
Texas, being nominated for tax collec
tor, went and cut his throat. It hap
pens so rarely that a man nominated
for an office for which he has no quali
fications ever hesitates to accept, that
the prompt conduct of the Texas in
capable almost challenges admiration.
—Cincinnati Saturday Night.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s great blood
searcher guarantees to eradicate all hu

the night and taken his medicine out of
the wrong bottle.— Bill Nye.
A would-be smart young man on the
West Side wears a very .fine looking
shed kitchen over his eyes and breathes
through his mouth while his nose is get

can’t stand humor; it stops the circula
tion of the blood.— The Eye.
He Didn’t Bark.
Courier Journal.
John Henry, the masher, stood on
the corner with another one of his kind
watching for a girl to come along whom
he might crush. At last a thin young
woman from the rural districts came
by, and John Henry thought he had
found her. As she passed, he said
something about her being bony, but
he went after her, and catching up, he
said; “Good evening, Miss.”
“Good evening,” she replied, look
ing at him so suspiciously that he hesi
tated.
“Ahem, Miss, ahem, a—”
“Well,” she put in, “why don’t you
bark?"
“Bark?—bark? What do you mean?
I don’t quite understand.”
“Oh you don’t? Why, in our coun
try a pupy that has any decent train
ing always barks when he finds a
bone.”
John Henry didn’t have any more
to say, and to this day he is a changed
man.
