Cathartic Fills
Combine the choicest cathartic principles
in medicine, in proportions accurately ad*
tasted to secure activity, certainty, and
uniformity of effect. They are the result
of years of careful study and practical ex
periment, and are the most effectual rem
edy yet discovered for diseases caused by
derangement of the stomach, liver, and
bowels, wliich require prompt and effectual
treatment. AVer's Piles are specially
applicable to this class of diseases. They
act directly on the digestive and assimi
lative processes, and restore regular
healthy action. Their extensive use by
phvsicians in their practice, and by all
civilized nations, is one of the many
proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and
perfectly reliable purgative medicine.
Being compounded of the concentrated
virtues of purely vegetable substances,
they are positively free from calomel or
any injurious properties, and can be admin
istered to children with .perfect safety.
Ayer’s Pills are an effectual cure for
Constipation or Costiveness, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Loss of Appetite,
Foul Stomach and IJreatli, Dizziness,
Headache, Loss of Memory, Numbness,
Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheumatism,
Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy,
Tumors, Worms, Neuralgia, Colic,
.Gripes, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Gout,
Piles, Disorders of the Liver, and all
other diseases resulting from a disordered
etate of the digestive apparatus.
Asa Dinner Pill they have no equal.
While gentle in their action, these Pills
are the most thorough and searching cathar
tic that can l>c employed, and never give
.pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and
then their influence is healing. They stimu
late the appetite and digestive organs; they
operate to purify and enrich the blood, and
impart renewed health and vigor to the
whole system.

Uncle Remus’ Folk Lore.
Brer Wolf appears upon the scene.
“Ilayyo’ma got comp’ny,” said
Uncle Remus, as the little boy entered
the old man’s door with a huge piece
of mince-pie in his hand, “enif she aint
got comp’ny den she’s drapped de cub
beru key soni’ers whar you done run
up wid it.”
- “Well, I saw it lying there, Uncle
Remus, and I just thought I’d fetch it
out to you.”
“Tooby sho, honey,” replied the old
man, regarding the child with admira
tion. “Tooby sho, honey; dat changes
matters Chrismus doin’s is outer date
en day aint got no bizness layin’ roun’

continued, holding it up and measuring
R with an experienced eye, “will gim

Here the old man paused and pro
ceeded to demolish the pie—a feat ac
complished in a very short time. Then
he wiped the crumbs from his beard
and begun:

Holy Misses.
[New York Herald. 1
The preacher who has lately been
tried for doing more kissing than the
spiritual condition of his flock required
got off with a verdict of “exceedly im
prudent,” which, after all, is nearly as
bad a thing as can be said about a
clergyman in his relations with his fem
inine parishioners. Naturally there
is another verdict, the self-appointed ju
rors being the husbands and brothers
of the ladies who were kissed and we
have no hesitation in saying that these
gentlemen are far more competent as
jurors in such a ease, than the seven
good pastors who talked and prayed ov
er the affair eighteen hours. There is
an ineradicable impression in the minds
of all men that preachers, outside of
what special endowments they may en
joy while engaged in their professional
duties, are of natures and passions like
unto other men, and that their kisses,
which are generally bestowed according
to the dictates of personal taste, are no
holier than those of other men. It is
useless for pastors to quote the apostlic
injunction to greet each other with a
holy kiss, for this suggestion was offer
ed for men and women alike, whereas
the modern preacher who kisses the
male members of his congregation, or
even the homely women, is yet to be
found. Besides, kissing is a common
Oriental method of salutation for all
sexes and ages, and the early Christi
ans, who were in hourly expectation
of being-floggod at the public whipping
post, fed to lions or sawn asunder, had
little time or inclination to regard a
kiss according to its signification among
people who ooncider that the world
owes them a good time, and they are
going to have it. Had Peter, Paul or
any of tha ahurah fathers, dropped in
at a church sociable in the course of
their journeying and organised games
iu which there were forfeits to be paid
ia kisses their epistles would never
have coma down to us. Indeed, were
any the prominent clergymen of New
York, in the eourse of their pastoral
visits, to kiss all ‘heir lady parishion
ers, scores of letters on the subject
would crowd the Herald's. “Complaint
Book,” and the churches would speedi
ly go into tha market for new pastors..
Preachers will have to keep pace with'
tha moral sentiments of the age if they
want to be respected, and these senti
ments declare that kissing between men
and women not closely united by bonds
of affection is always grossly indelicate,
and generally a great deal worse. No
professional or clerical stamp can im
prove its appearance or save the repu
tation of thjse who indulge.
Tl*e Long Lives of Fish.
Washington, January 7th, 1880
Some days ago I had occasion to make
some inquiry into the ago of fi-h, and
was suprised to find that they lived
so long. Thiukiog .hat there are
ethers who know as little about the
subject as I did, I append a lettar I
received from Professor Spencer W.
Baird, of the Sini:h<outeu institute,
who is also United States fish commis
sioner. He is the best authority in
the world on fish, and this gives his
letter its value. He writes:
Ttiere is, I believe, authentic evi
dence to show that carp have attained
an age of 200 years. There is a tra
dition, that within tho last fifty years
a pike was living, in Russia, whose
age dated back to the fifteenth centu
ry The fish is said to have been
eighteen feet long. This however, is
not considered very reliable. But
thsre is nothing to pieveut a fish from
living almost indefinitely, us it lias no
period of maturity, but grows with
each year ot life. In species like
mammals and biibs whore theie i
a Intuit, a definite terra of years is
generally the rule.
There are now some gold-fish here,
in the aquariums of the United States
botanical gard n, that are nifty years
old. A gold-fiish dealer in BilUmore
showed me some gold-fish that he bad
kept in his aquarium for thirty years.

Killed by a Snake.
A Cow That Is Conjectured to Ilrve
Drank the Reptile in From a
Brook.
[New York Sun.]
Norwich, Cost*., December 24.
Mr. Lovell K. Smith, a prosperous and
an intelligent farmer of Franklin, about
six miles from this city, is justly proud
of his crops and his stock—especially
of a heard of somo twenty Aldertley
cows, mostly of his own raising, and a
span of large gray carriage horses that
have taken prizes at two county fairs.
About six months ago one of the most
valuable of his cows became restless
and fretful, goring and worrying other
cattle whenever near them and fllliug
the air with doleful bellowings. She
lost flesh rapidly, and it was evident
that her internal organs were much de
ranged. Her breathing was difficult at
time, and later accompanied by a strange
gurgling sound. Her appetite was
generally ravenous; and although she
hal the best of pasturage, an abundance
of choice hay, aad a liberal supply of
grain, the suffering beast continued
gradually to waste away. Her maldy
was a mystery. The ordinary and the
extraordinary remedies were adminis
tered in vain. No medicine or treat
ment that was suggested proved any
beneficial effect; and a few days ago,
having become reduced to a mere skele
ton, the cow died.
There being no skilled veterinarian
in the neighborhood, a regular exami
nation into the causes of the animal’s
sickness and death was not made; but
the mystery was soon solved. The
skin was thought too valuable to be
lost, and in removing that Mr. Hill’s
employes found between the skin and
the flesh, on ono side of the cow’s neck,
a dead snake, eleven inches long and
three inches in circumference, its head
imbedded in a mass of coagulated blood,
which had evidently oozed from a lace
rated artery! The snake was of a dark
color, of the common water species,
and its tongue was slightly protruding
from its mouth. -The indications were
that the cow and the snake died at about
the same time.
It is conjectured that the snake was
taken into the cow’s stomach while sSe
was drinking, probably at night from a
small brook that flows through the pas
ture; that ic made repeated efforts to
escape from her stomach; that atlengtgh,
unable to escape, it effected a lodgment
in the glands of the throat and eventu
ally worked its way to the spot in which
it was found.

SUroude* Id Flames.
New York, Januaiy 21. —A Dan
ville, Va.j special states that Mrs.
May—an aged lady, liviuig six miles
front Danville, in Pittsylvania county,
with two daughters-—Miss Kate May,
eighteen years of age, and Mrs. Hern
don, a mairied lady—was placing a
kerosine lamp on the mantle last
night,’ when it was overturned and
an explosion followed. Mrs. May
was-envtloped inflames. Mrs. Hern
don, and Miss Kate ran to their moth
er,s assistance, when their clothing
took fire. The three ladies rushed
into the yard. Mrs. May and Kate
ran around screaming wildly for help
nn il they fell dead, suffocated and
frightfully burned. Mrs. Herndon
laid down and rolled over and over,
until the flames were extinguished,
but vt as terribly burned and became
unconscious. Although she is still
living, but little hopes are entertained
of her recovery.
A woman at Stockton, Cal., who
had a dt unken husband, was waiting
late at night for him to come home.
Th'e lamp was in her bedroom, and
she was in the parlor. Hearing a
nois outside, as if a man who was
trying to find the gate, she went cut,
and sure enough a drunkeu man was
there. She helped him into the par
lor, as she had been used to® doing,
and placed him carefully on the
lounge. After a hard struggle she
got his coat and vest off, and thee
pulled at the boots (as she thought
they were), but they would not come
off. At length she felt about the an
kles and found that the man had
shoes on— something that her hus
band never wore. Striking a light
she saw be was a stranger.
At the End of His Trouble.—The
Itev. Dr. Col Iyer tells this story of a
wedding in Yorkshire: As the man
came out ot church with his bride he
met an old companion, who said:
“There, lad, I wish thee much joy;
thou’s gotton to t’end of all thy troub
le.” It was very good to be assured
of that, and the bridegroom went on
his way rejoicing; but by and by he
found he had got married without
getting a wife. It was a bad job;
and so when ha met his old compan
ion on the street one day he said,
with a very long face: ‘T thought
thou told ine as I came out of Gruise
ley church that I’d gotton to t’end of
all me trouble.” “I did tell thee so,”
said his friend, qnietly, ‘‘but l didn’t
tell thee which end.”
Forgiveness and a smile are the best
revenge.
Combat With an Eagle.
A Hunter Overpowered After a
vere Struggle and Narrowly Es
> capiug Death.
Henry Decker and John House ar
rived at Lord’s Valley, Fa., recently
from Trenton, N. J., expecting to
remain several days to fish and hunt.
The next morning at daybreak they
took their guns and fishing tackle
and started for Blooming Grove pond,
three miles distant While passing
through the woods, Decker seperated
from House, being called away by
the barking of his dog, which he sup
posed was after a rabbit or fox.
House continued on, and soon reach
ed the poud. He waited over n
hour fo'r hia comrade’s atrival, and
then started back to where they had
seperated. . He halloed repeatedly,
but received no response. Ho then
followed the tracks in the snow, and
after going nearly a pule discovered
spots of blood. His first thought
was that Decker had been wounded
by tlie accidental discharge of his
gun. As he went on the blood spots
upon the snow became thicker, and
near a cluster of hushes there were
indications that the hunter had en
countered something, for the snow
was trodden for a considerable dis
tance. House called out again, and
soon there came a feeble response,
which was recogized as the voice of
Decer. House hurried on, and, as he
was about to enter a deep ravine, he
saw the bushes move. Looking clo
ser, he saw a large gray eagle perch
ed upon Decker’s breast and pecking
him in the face. House approached
to within shooting distance and fired,
killing the eagle instantly. He hur
ried to where Decker lay, and found
him unconscious and bleeding.
When he had gained consciousness
he said that he did not see the eagle
until it had descended and fastened
its sharp claws into his back. Being
frightened he dropped his gun into
the snow. He fought the eagle as
best he could, but soon became so
weak from loss of blood, and suffer
ing such intense pain, that he fell un
coiiicious. His body and face were
terribly lacerated, and his clothing
w'lis torn to shreds- The eagle mens*
ured nearly eight feet from tip to tip
of wings.
Arkansas Etiquette.
[Little Rock Gaactte.J
Lust night twa men from Phila
delphia egaged in a quarrel at a hotel
in this city. After using all kinds of
epithets, one ol the men thrust his
hand behind as though about to draw
a pistol, and then took it away. The
quarrel terminated without damage
to either party. An old man from
South Arkansas shook back his long
hair, and, advancing to the man who
had made tfie pip-pocket motion, re
marked :
“Both of you men are strangers
here, I recon?”
“Yes.”
“Not acquainted w’ith our little
rules of politeness ? ’
“How ?”
“Why, you put your hand behind
you just now.”
“Yes.”
“You didn’t pull a gun?’’
“I haven’t got a gun.”
“Now, young man, let me give
you a piece of advice. While you
are in this country don’t put your
hand behind you unless you intend
to shoot; don't even run your hand
into your pocket for a chew oftoback
er; don’t spit; don’t wink, for if you
do your partner, if he’s an Arkansas
man, will jolt you. You must learn
these little rules of politeness. You
may know how to conduct yourself
at church, but youv’e got- a good
many rules of etiquette to learn.”
An Electrical Stove.
A man “out west,” envious of Edi
son, has invented, or rather discovered,
an electrical stove. When you put wood
in it, or at least when he did, a severe
shock was felt and he dropped the lifter
and the griddle he was holding. In at
tempting to take a stew pan off, his wife
dropped to the floor. The hired men
coming in were baffled in their efforts
to get anything to eat. Ono seining the
coffee pot sprang two feet into the air
and yelled; another undertaking to
move a pot of cabbage was himself
moved to the corner of the room. Ffn
aily in despair of having a dinner, the
proprietor put on sheepskin gloves and
removed the vessels from the stove.—
The fluid is believed to be generated by
a wind mill which happens to be con
nected with the stove pipe by a wire;
for, it is only when the mill is in motion
that the stove cuts up such pranks. —
The ralue of the new invention is not
as clear as the electric light; though in
the event of a call from hungry tramps
insisting upon dinner it would be both
convenient and amusing to start the
windmill and tell them to help them
selves.

Cora Norwood’s Wax Doll.
llow the Prayer of a Little Maine
Girl was Apswered.
[Elmira Gaaette ]
The United States Express Company,
on tho night of December 17, carried
over Erie an express package dastiued
from Chicago, 111., to Htvksport, Me.,
which has a singular romantic history.
A little girl who knits gloves wrote a
a note and placed it in one of the pairs
of gloves befofe sending them off. It
was as follows:
“I am a littlo girl only eight years
old. My name is Cora Norwood. I
live in Bucksport, Me. I knit these
gloves for 8 cents a pair. I wish the
gentleman who buys them would please
send mo a wax doll for a Christmas
present, as I have none and want one
very bad.” '
The note was found in the glove by a
firm in Chicago, who had bought a quan
tity of them. They immediately pur
chased a splendid wax doll and forward
ed it' to her by the United States Ex
press. The way bill was filled out in
regular form as follows :
“Consignor, Keith Bros & Cos., Chi
cago, 111.” “Address, Cora S. Noi
wood, Bucksport, Me.” “Collect—

Love in a Graveyard.
Several years ago a young lady and
a young gentleman of Ameucus Lada
tender passion for one another, which
might have culminated in a joining of
hearts and hands. The parents of the
girl objected to the young man on some
frivilous charge, and thereby forbade
their meeting, but this interdict only
gave zest to their stolen interviews.—
One hot summer afternoon tho lovers
“met by chance” in the old cemetery
and were sitting quietly on a slab talk
ing their sentimental nothings when they
saw the girl’s fatner coming up. Tho
young fellow saw it would be too late to
make bir exodus from the place without
detection, so he'moved the slab front
over tho side stones and slipped in on
top of the grave, replacing the stone
after.. The girl’s father camo up and
sat down by her side upon the slab, and
stayed there talking to her two or three
hottrs, while the youug man inside the
tomb had to endure a heat nearly as hot
as Tartarus. He was on the point sev
eral times of begging for release, but,
fearing his girl might have a severe
reprimand, he held his peace.. About
sun down tho girl accompanied the old
man home, and the young fellow crawl
ed out of his prison in a most ludicrous
plight. After that he was shy of the
girl. The grave had done more to di
minish his love for the girl than all the
commands a father and mother could
have imposed in a lifetime. lie is still
single, out the lady has been married
two or three years. —Atnzricus Repub

The following remarkable and
doubtless “o’er true tale” is told by
the Ameicus republican. It says; “A
gentleman givss us this little incident:
As I was tiding along in itn out-of-the
way path I observed a ludicrous scone
I had approached a log cabin that had
several acres cleared around it. Iu
■ ■lie corner ot tno lot a negro 'woman
was ploughing, but she had two girls
tugging away living to breek up tbe
hard ground instead of a mule
They made little head way, as th
ground was too Lard. About fif'y
jsrfs off a negro mini Was feeding a
rattier phiinp mule. On asking why
tie did not plow theaiule, he rein irk
ed: dis mule is minej'Jde ole
Vimui is mine and de gals is mine;
nobody is *3wiiio to fotcti doiu away ;
but it de muiguiu on dis mule ain’t
laised tin* tail do white man will &eud
de Sheiitf aud take de mule and ail
I’s got. So, boss, I thought I’d ke-p
de mule fat and let the gala and old

as much as I can, fur ifde wusteomes
