Duck Hunting With a Club.
A colored man by the name of Ike
Simpson was seen standing on a street
corner, leaning on an immense club.
“ What’s yer doing dar, Ike ? ” asked
Sam Smith, another darky.
“ I’se out duck hunting,” responded
Simpson.
‘ ‘ What sorter ducks ? ”
“Wild ducks, ob course.”
“ And sposin’ wild ducks was to light
about heah, what would you kill ’em
wid ? ”
“ Wid dis here club,” said Ike, swing
ing it over his head in a most alarming
manner.
“Well, you is de biggest fool on Gal
veston island, sure,” said Sam Smith.
“ Not much I ain’t. I’ee gwine to rake
in dead oodles of wild duoks right heah
on dis corner. I’ll bet you a foali-dollar
hat I captures moah den a dozen wild
ducks on dis heah comer wid dis heah
short-range club,” and once more Ike
swnng the club to the great discomfort
of Sam Smith,
The bet was taken and now Ike sports
a fine new hat. When asked how he
managed to get the ducks, he explained :
“ You knows dat old niggah Noyes,
w’hat libs down on de island ? Well, he
borrowed anew saddle wuff $lO from me
befoah de wah, and he liain’t neher
fotched it back yit. I heerd lie was in
town wid a w agon-load of ducks for sale,
so I jess laid foah him on de comer wid
a club, and vou bet I kerlected de whole
amount, wid interes’ to date, in ducks.
I has dared moah den $25 off dem duck*
already. ” —Galveston News.
Mo Music in Themselves.
An amusing incident occurred in
Ghent while the American and British
plenipotentiaries wore forming a treaty
of peace between the two countries. A
looker-on might have seized it to quote
against the Americans Shakspeare’s lines
beginning :
The man that hath no music in himself.
The authorities of the city, anxious to
honor the representatives of the two na
tions, proposed to give a grand musical
entertainment. The leader of the band
called upon the Americans to get their
national air. The question was imme
diately raised bv the three Ministers—
Adams, Clay and Bayard—as to whether
“ Hail Columbia” or “ Yankee Doodle”
was the national air. Having settled
that to the latter belonged that honor,
the gentlemen wore requested by the
band-master to give him the air.
Mr. Adams, looking at Mr. Clay, said,
“ I can’t do it; I never sang or whistled
a tune in my life.”
“ Nor I,” said Mr. Clay.
“Nor I,” repeated Mr. Bayard.
“Call John!” exclaimed Mr. Clay,
referring to his negro servant.
John entered. “John, whistle ‘ Yan
kee Doodle’ for this gentleman J”
John whistled it accurately, the lead
er wrote down the music, and the next
day tke Ghent band played “Yankee
Doodle” as the national air of the Unit
ed States.
The Kind of Country New Mexico Is.
Gen. Lew Wallace does not give a
very encouraging account of New Mex
ico." He says:
“ The southern portion of New Mex
ico and Northern Old Mexico is infested
by bands of thieves, robbers and mur
derers, many of whom are wanted in the
East to answer for crimes committed.
They think no more of killing a man
than of shooting game. They rob the
miners of their horses, mules and other
property. They rob anybody they lay
their hands on. If a man resists they
kill him. The property and life of no
one are safe from them. When a Depu
ty Marshal, armed with authority and
backed by his posse, gets after* them
they go over into Old Mexico, and laugh
at their pursuers. The latter cannot
stay there watching them and neglect
ing their own business. As soon as
they retire the outlaws come back into
New Mexico, and go to robbing and
killing again.”
Blocked In.
The train had run into a snow-drift,
and the engine was butting its head in
vain against a six-foot bank.
“ For once the iron horse appears to
be beaten,” remarked a fat woman near
the center of the car.
“ You shouldn’t call it an iron horse,”
mildly reproved a solemn-faced man
aoross the aisle.
“ Why not ?” asked the fat woman in
some surprise.
“ Because it’s block tin,” softly mur
mured the solemn-faced man, as he
gazed out the window and across the
wintry waste with a far-away look in his
eye.
The fat woman gasped, while the
conductor was astonished to such a de
gree that he went out of the car without
slamming the door. —Eockland {Me.)

Pig am! Turtle.
A pig met with a singular adventure
in Pike county, Pa. The young rooter
was doing some plowing in a swampy
part of the field, and came across a huge
snapping-turtle, sleeping quietly on a
Iwg. Piggy didn’t know a turtle from
a tea-kettle, and he promptly put his
nose under one side of the turtle’s shell
and turned him over on his back. The
turtle was naturally indignant, and as
the pig’s nose onrae near his head he
fastened on it and settled dpwn to work.
The pig was frightened nearly to death
and tried to run away, but, as the turtle
was nearly as large as the pig, the run
ning was slow. The squealing of the
pig finally brought help, and the turtle
was captnred and found to weigh twen
ty-eight pounds.
One Touch of Mature.
A gentleman was going home at a late
hour recently when he was suddenly
confronted by a footpad, who, with his pis
tol pointed at his head, demanded his
money. The gentleman assured the fel
low that he had no money—that he had
“ been to a church fair.” Before he
could say more the rascal dropped his
pistol, put it in his pocket, and present
ly took out his wallet, and, crushing
something into the citizen’s hand, said
in grief-broken accents, as he turned on
his heel: “Been to a fair ! Poor fel
low l Take that—l wish it was more. ”
He was soon lost in the night. Upon
approaching a street lamp the gentle
men found that the miscreant had given
him a $lO bill. Verily, one touch of
nature makes the whole world kin.
Tenderness and Liberality.
What is charity? This question was
put to a little girl, and her reply was,
‘ ‘ Giving to the poor what we do not
want for ourselves. ” Her answer was,
undoubtedly, given from observation;
for children are observing creatures,
more so than we always give them credit
for. Often we hear and say, if not in
words, by onr actions, “It is only a lit
tle child, it will not notice or remem
ber,” and yet all the while they are re
ceiving impressions from which they
draw their own inferences and definitions
of what grown people do and say.
Is it not too often the case that we give
them good cause to define the word char
ity as the little girl did? When we at
tempt to give the poor anything are we
not apt to select those things that we
consider worn out, or perhaps fit so badly
that we want them out of the way? If
we have things we do not want it is all
right to let those have them who need
and will use them. But if our charity
extends no further than this, how much
of the genuine article do we possess?
Many years ago a merchant was pass
ing along one of the streets of a large
city. It was a cold, dark, wintry night,
but what cared he for the cold, even
though the snow was falling thick and
fast around him? His costly overcoat
was buttoned close, and his hands were
encased in gloves that defied the bitter
winds.
From the cold, marble steps of a build
ing he was passing a little girl clothed
(if you can call it clothed) in a few scanty
rags, extended a thin cold hand, and in
faint, piteous tones, begged for “only
one penny.”
The merchant passed on, nor heeded
the piteous pleading of the homeless one.
He was on his way to a meeting called
to devise ways and means to relieve the
sufferings of the poor. As he passed on
he said to himself, “ Yes, it will be as
good an investment as I can make. It
will boa good advertisement for my
business, and will pay a big profit; for,
if to-night I give SSOO to the committee
for the poor, it will come out in the
morning papers with a big puff, my name
will stand high, and many new customers
will be sure to patronize the merchant
who was so generous to the poor.”
He reached the place of meeting and
gave liis hundreds of dollars for the poor;
but was there any real charity about it?
No. It was simply a selfish transaction
to gain more money and a big name for
himself. The morning papers came out
with a glowing account of the large
hearted charity of the merchant.
Following the lengthy report of the
meeting for the benefit of the poor was
an item stating that a little girl was
found dead under the snow at the foot of
the steps leading to the bank building
on street.
Many seem to think that charity is
simply the giving of our goods to the
poor and needy, but Webster defines the
word with three others, “tenderness,
goodwill, and liberality.” Tenderness!
I am glad that word is put in as one defi
nition to the word charity, that we may
show true charity by throwing a cloak
over the fault of others, and trying to
bring to light their virtues.
In an old book I read that “Charity
sufifereth long, and is kind; charity en
vieth not—is not puffed up. And now
abideth faith, hope, charity, these three,
but the greatest of these is charity. And
above all things have charity among
yourselves.” —Correspondent in House
hold.

Our representative lately learned the
following from Mr. Carl Siegmund, Cor.
Congress and Washington Sts.: My
daughter suffered from Itheumatism to
such ail extent that it crippled her, ren
dering her unable to walk at all. We
consulted many physicians and used all
kinds of med'.cines, but in vain. At last
St. Jacobs Oil effected the happiest re
suits. It cured my daughter.

Capt. John N. Bofinger, a steamboat
man of St. Louis, well known through
out the South and West, has been de
voting much time to the history of
steamboats. He has found that steam
ers, and especially Western river steam
ers, whose names begin with “ M,” are
very unlucky. If they have not been
sunk, burned or destroyed by boiler ex
plosions, their owners have met with
financial disaster through their means.
As proof of what he avers to be true he
cites innumerable Magnolias, Missouris,
Magentas, Marys, Myrtles, Massachu
setts, Metropolises, Marigolds, Missis
sippi, Mayflowers, Monitors, Monticel
los, and others with initial “M,” all of
which have come to grief.

Hop Bitters, which are advertised in our
columns, are a sure cure for ague, bilious
ness and kidney complaints. Those who
use them say they cannot be too highly rec

siastic in the praise of their curative quali

Winter Sports.
“Ah, that’s what I like ! that’s wbatl
like !” chirped old Mr. Whistleblossom,
as he came carefully down the hill where
the boys were exercising their sleds.
“If there’s anything I really love, it s to
see the boys, full of animal spirits, enjoy
ing these wintry sports.” And just at
that instant 150 pounds of animal spirits
came dashing down the hill on a double
runner, and caught the unsuspecting
Mr. Whistleblossom between the heels.
There was a sound of revelry by night,
and when they picked up the unfortunate
gentleman, and had pinned together the
ruptured back of his coat, he remarked,
in a tone so gentle that it made him
quite black in the face, that the City
Government who w r ould refuse to pass a
law making it a reform-school crime to
slide on the streets were a set of pusillan
imous yahoos. —Rockland Courier.
Shrewdness and Ability.
Hop Bitters, so freely advertised iu all the
papers, secular and religious, are having a
large sale, and are supplanting all other med
icines. There is no denying the virtues of
the Hop plant, and the proprietors of these
Bitters have shown great shrewdness and
ability in compounding a Bitters, whoae vir
tues are so palpable to everyone’s observa
tion—Examiner and Chronicle.
A prominent actor has written a book
entitled “How to Act.” It won’t have
any sale. People who are not actors
don’t want to know how to act, and
where is the actor who will admit that
anybody can tell him liow to act ?
Do not allow your noble animal to
suffer with ringbone, galls, scratches,

Contentment a Tice.
Did it ever occur to you that the much
lauded virtue of contentment is in some
instances a vice—the dry rot of ambition?
The contented man makes no progress
in the world. He is hopelessly stranded.
A man, or a village, or a town, or a city
that becomes content, stops short, never
to go again, till the dread disease is over
come. Therefore, young man, if you
are a farmer, don’t be content; strive to
be a better farmer. If you are a carpen
ter, don’t be content; always strive to
become better or wiser than you are.

In reply to the many inquiries which we have
received regarding a most prominent modern
remedy, wc would say: To the best of our be
lief Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, is
pure in its nature, efficient in its action and
certain in its results. We have learned of some
remarkable cures which it has effected and be
lieve that as a preventive of disease it is une
qualed. For delicate iadies and enfeebled men
it is invaluable, and its pure vegetable qualities
commend it to the favor and use of all.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, nervous prostration
and all forms of general debility relieved by
taking Mensman’s Peptonized Beef Tonic, the
only preparation of beef containing its entire
nutritious properties. It contains blood-mak
