BILL NYE. H Visit* Toney Inland and Meet* a Man with a Itandana. From the New York World. Coney Island is provided with delight ful music this year. A handsome hall, with comfortable seats, and within sound of the ever low spirited and complaining sea, is filled by those who come to hear the Metropolitan opera house orchestra, under the leadership of the handsome and fluent Ilerr Seidl. Herr Seidl does not play any instrument himself, but makes the gestures and punctuates the music*. He also shows the piccolo where to put in the piano and points out to the tubas where it would be a good idea to stock in the fortissimo. Music is his heart’s delight. He would ra*ther stand them and listen, it seemed to me, and kill mosquitoes with his pointer, than to play himself. In theseat ahead of me sat a plain man with gray hair and toil-hardened hands. Ever and anon he wiped the honest sweat from his brow, and then, plunging a full-blown nose into his red bandana, he sounded a tocsin which would natur ally make an alto horn go and dispose of itself at a sacrifice. “You are an Ohio man, doubtless, I said to him in a bantering tone. “Why so?” “Well, you seem to have the true Thur man snort.” “No. 1 ain’t from Ohio. I’m from New Hampshire. I carried a bandana before the war. Politics don’t have nawthin to do with it. I’ve always believed that “Satan trembles when he sees The old bandana on It* sneeze. ’* “I suppose that is often in your case taken for a campaign badge.” “Yep. -Badge? I should say so. If I’ve been ast to liekah-up to-day once, I’ll bet I’ve been ast fawty times. They say the republican party, but so far, it strikes me that the democrats are a good deal freer with their lickah than the re bublicans ah.” We got pretty well acquainted during the evening, and finally rode back to New York together. Sitting below, where we could smoke together and feel the salt spray on our polished domes of thought, the old gentleman said: “It’s curis how folks always wants to go summers else to have fun. Dukes and one thing another comes to this country to take a vacation, and when we get enough means on hand w*e go over amongst the gaudy trappin’s of the effect moniekeys, as the feller says, and catch Roman malaria or break our weeks skim wiin' the Alps, when we’ve got a blamed sight better meawntins right here. “Now right at the present minnit, while I’m here aboad o’ this bo’t, thous ands o’ you New Y'awkahs are payin’ two prices for the privilege of livin’ up in my neighborhood. When we git our havin’ done in my place we like to break loose and come down to New York. Here, land sakes, you can go in fawtv different directions, and have sea aih and loggah beeah, and the Lawd knows what else, and all poot.v reasonable, tew. I come down heab most every summah after the hay is in and the cawn and beans don’t need but a little tendin,’ and I get a room pooty cheap, for the blame town is almost empty, anvbow, then I kind of browse around and skin out every day on a little one-boss picnic up the river or out to this island or the bay, or fishin’ or crabhin’, or sunthin’ or other every day for two or three weeks. Then I go back and tell about it. “That’s the way everybody does. They want a change, I s’pose. Then their own home seems a blamed sight better to them when they get back. It’s poot.v tough on folks, when they’ve got to stay at home all the time, man or woman. A fellow actually gets to hate the wall paper, and he hates the old fur niture, and gets tired of lookin’ at the pictures of Washington about to become the father of his country, and all the other pictures get to look measly, and the everlastin’ flowers in the settin’ room begin to look like delusions. “Then’s the time to skin out and tend the country fair down to Coney Island. Folks want a change and they ort to Jiev it. We had a woman up in our sec tion that pizened herself right in the dead o’ hayin’. Left five little folks, and the oldest wasn’t but five years old. Her husband was away from home a good deal, changing pulpits and one thing or another, but she wrote a letter and left it on the burow then went on to state that whilst there was probly no place like home, and n doubt she ort to be contented, she had got wore out with the wall paper, and the hair-cloth chairs jest made her gag. and so while she was doing wrong to pizen herself and she knew it, and that they’d probly hev to hire help in the house now, she had thought for a long time that the smell of fried pork and warm dishwater was warpin’ her mind. So before she had went crazy and killed several of the chil dren and mutilated the neighbors, and bit the old man, she had decided to take advantage of a lucid interval ami light out in search of a change. “That ain't her exact language, of course, but that is the main idea and the thought germ, as a talented man would call it. Her husband’s folks read the letter and claimed she’d already got to wandering in her mind before she wrote it, but the neighbors got together and voted that it was infested more or less all the way through with thought germs, as you would rail’em, and they had it printed in a country paper, and since that our wimmen folks up that way git out more.” Just then the boat bumped against the iron pier at New \ork, and we shook hands and separated,* each one striving to add his share to the general riot which takes place on a crowded boat when she lands at the dock. Bill Nye. How Doctor* Conquer Death. Doctor Walter K. Harrmond says “After a loDg experience I haue come to the conclusion that two-thirds of a 1 coughs, pneumonia and conscption, might be avoided if Acker’s English Cough Remedy were only carefully used in time.” This wonderful Remedy is sold under a positive guarantee by J R. Wikle & Cos. e o w Truth* Well Spoken. That we are living at too great an ex pense to meet our honest obligations, is a fact patent to any casual observer. At our present speed of living, to keep up appearances with our neighbors, it takes a sizable income to satisfy the wants of even a small family—spring suits for the boys and spring bonnets; handsome dresses and ribbons for tire girls. Nor can we lay all the blame of extrav agant living on the boys and girls, for besides parents are to blame for yielding to such extravagance on their children,, many of them dress beyond their means and allow their creditors to suffer. How many men strut in fine clothes, when if they could not have swindled the merchant out of them with fair promises, would now be wearing their old suits with a patch on their shoes and a rent in their hats. Debt annoys some people to al most madness, while others appear to have no conscientious sccHples and con sider themselves honest. The country will never get any better, generally, until our people learn to live more economi nally, and make an effort to pay their honest obligations. Terrible F*r*w*rl**. Cough in the morning, hurried or diffi cult breathing, raising phlegm, tightness in the chest, quickened pulse, chiliness in the evening or sweat* st night, all or any of these things are the first stages of con sumption. Acker’s English Cough Reme dy will cure these fearful symptoms, and it sold under a positive guarantee by J. R. Wikle & Cos. eo w * • ♦ • ■ —•— A Good InTMtmcnt. Kaukaunu (Wi.) Sun.] The iron mine that Capt. Meade and T. M. Kellogg invested in near Allatoona, Ga., when .South in February last, now proves to be the richest mine in the State. The fact was demonstrated dur ing their recent visit to that place. They were absent about thirty days, and are well satisfied with the trip and the atten dant result. Wheat, when they left there was about as far advanced as it is here in July. The temperature is more evenly divided, the nights cool and agreeable. They speak very highly of this feature which we in the North have been led to believe was one of the most disa greeable things to contend with in the South. PnrenbCriminslly Liable. More than half of all deaths occur be fore six of age. An armv of inno cent, lovely children are swept needlessly away each year. Parents are criminally responsible for this. The death rate of children in England is less than half this. Acker’s English Baby Soother ha 9 done more to bring this about than all other causes combined. You cannot afford to be without it.

He was with his master in the revolutionary var, was forty years old when Washington was elected President, went to Texas when one hundred and one years old, moved into Mexico five years later, and now at the ripe age of one hundred and thirty six, lives in a little hut, to which he is confined by rheumatism, aud is sup ported by contributions from the citi zens of Santa Rosa.
