A dignified looking stranger entered the ticket office of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad yes terday, *nd stated that ho wished to purchase tickets tor himself and family to Texas, and also wanted to se cure rates for the transportation of a carload of household furniture. CoL Harry Wilson waited on the gentleman, and ascertained that his name was Mar tin. He negotiated a trade with him for the tickets, and referred him to the freight office on Monroe street for infor mation about freight rates. As the stranger displayed a goodly role of boodle it was incumbent on Col. Wilson to treat him with the considera tion due his importance, and so he told Billy to take the colonel over and intro duce him to Mr. Bartley, and he took care to lay the accent on the colonel. Billy got the stranger safely over to the freight office, and in his politest manner presented him to Will Bartley as follows: “Mr. Bartley, allow me to introduce to you Col. Martin.” The stranger drew himself up haught ily, and striking an attitude, with his rigiit hand over his left breast pocket, said: “I am no colonel, young man: I am something higher than that.” “Excuse me; I meant to say briga dier,” apologized Billy. “I have a higher title tharv that,” said the great man. Billy was equal to the occasion, and same again with “I really meant to say uajor general, you know.” He was knocked out again, however, jy the supposed, officer remarking witii leightened dignity, which, however, vas softened by a quiet, amused smile: ‘You have not got up high enough yet.” “You must be the commander-in-chief of the army,” suggested Billy in a doubt ful sort of tone, but the‘stranger par alyzed him by the announcement that lie held a still higher title. Billy was stumped. He thought the dis tinguished visitor was no other than the president travelling in cog., but he dis missed that idea, and then his curiosity got the better of his reverence, and he blurted out! “Well, who are you, any way?” Tiie stranger softly replied: “I am a minister of the gospel, sir,” and Billy fainted dead away, while Will Bartley made a half rate for the divine on ac- Envelope*!

( England, which is rich in gentlemen, furnished, in tho beginning of the pres ent century, a good model of that genius which the world loves in Charles James Fox, who added to his great abilities the most social disposition and real love of men. A characteristic anecdote is re lated of the celebrated orator and states man: A tradesman who had long dunned Mr. Fox for a note of three hundred guineas found him one day counting gold, and demanded paymentof his long duo note. “I cannot pay you now," said Ftix. “I owe this money to Sheridan pit Is a debt of honor. If an accident should happen to mo he has nothing to show to main tain his claim.” "Then,” said tho creditor, “I change my debt into* debt of honor,” and tore the noto in pieces. Fox thanked the man for his confi- donee, and paid him, saying: "His debt was of older standing, and Sheridan must wait." . . Fox was the lover of liberty, friend of the Hindoo, friend of tho African slave; he possessed a great personal popularity, and Napoleon said of him, on the occa sion af his visit to Paris (p 1805: "Mr. Fox will always hold tho first place in on assembly at the Tuileries.”— Youth's Companion. Hln Flayer Answered. A certain Chicago coal man enjoys nothing more than he does a romp with his two pretty boys. After supper ev ery night he has great fun with them. One ,evening last week his wife was taken sick, and he cut short the usual romp, much to the disappointment of the boys, who hod been looking forward all day to his homecoming. He told them it was time for them to go to bed, and, like obedient boys, they walked off without a word of remonstrance. Silent ly they disrobed and prepared to retire. The larger boy said his prayer and found bis way between tho sheets. Then the little fellow knelt down by the bedside, uttered his prayer and added: “Please, God, make papa funny somo more.” And the father, who had been waiting just outside the door to see that they retired all right, overheard tho petition and went in and gave bis two boys another grciR romp. Tho little fellow then re tired in tho firm belief that his prayer hud been answered.—Chicago Herald. A Cent's Worth. I was walking by the Hotel Bucking ham the other evening (says a writer in New York Truth) when my ear was pene trated by a hoarse shriek, “Extra! extra! full account of tho fire down town—ex- traF “Let mo soe, boy, if you’re telling the truth,” said a passer by. The lad held up his paper to verify his statement, and showed the headline, “t^0,000 Blazer “Oli,” said the inquirer, “two hundred and fifty thousand? Is that all? Well, I guess I don’t want the paper.” “Ah, what's de matter wid you,” an swered the newsboy; “do yer want ter burn up de city o’ New York for a cent?” An understanding having been ar rived at botween the men and master mechanic.of the Central ritilroad shops at Savannah, the machinists returned to work Saturday.

Not to tako advantage of this remedy is cer tainly an indication of mental weak ness!” There is a wholesome kernel of truth inside the rough shell of this ungallant speech. Tho “Favorite Prescription” is invaluable in all uterine troubles, in- llammations, ulcerations, displacements, nervous disorders, prostration, exhaus tion, or hysteria.
