“Agin Prohibition.”
Harper’s Monthly
This sort of talk reminds me of old
Uncle Jem Austin’s excuse for declin
ing to reduce the number of drinks he
was taking daily.
Uncle Lem had been a free drinker
for a long time. At last it began to tell
on him. He became sick and sent for
the doctor.
The doctor came, examined him, in
quired as to his symptoms, felt his
pulse, looked at his tongue, sounded his
chest, etc.
Having, as supposed, suitably impress
ed the old man, he said: “Uncle Lem,
l am afraid you are drinking too much
whisky, and it is proper that I should
say to you that your trouble is caused
almost solely by the excessive use of in
toxicants.”
The old man did not seem to be at all
surprised,Jbut replied promptly: “Well,
Doc, I wouldn’t be surprised if you
wan’t more’n half right ’bout that.
“How much do you drink a day, Un
cle Lem ?” inquired the doctor.
“Well, I don’t hardly know, Doc,’
replied the old man. “Let me sge. 1
take a drink afore breakfus’ and onear
ter breakfus’, and two ’twixt breakfus’
and dinner, and one afore dinner; how
many’s that ?”
“Five,” replied the doctor.
“An one arter dinner.”
“Six.”
“An two ’twixt dinner and supper.”
“Eight.”
“An one afore supper.”
“Nine.”
“An one arter supper.”
“Ten.”
“An two betwixt supper and bed
time.”
“Twelve,” said the doctor.
“Well, them’s about my daily rashins.
Doc.”
“That’s too much liquor, Uncle Lem
You can’t stand it; it will kill you
Now, I suggest that you curtail the
amount. It won’t do to quit off entire
ly. It would prostrate you. But you
could reduce the number of drinks—
say a third, and after awhile another
reduction. Now, suppose you drop off
the two drinks between breakfast and
dinner, and the two between dinner and
supper at first, and begin the reforma
tion in that way?”
Uncle Lem held his head down and
reflected a moment; then looking up
and fixing his bleary eyes on the doc
tor, said:
“See here, Doc; blame my cats if I
don’t sorty be’leeve you’re one o’ them
prohibitioners, an’ I’m agin prohibition
tooth and toe-nails. Now, this here
propersition of your’n looks to me
mighty like a step in the direction er
prohibition, an’ I ain’t agwine to take
it, durn my skin ef I do; I’ll die fust.”
Realism Outdone.
New York Graphic.
A curious case was brought to the at
tention of the police authorities by a
Graphic reporter this morning, and
about which they are still looking up
the law and puzzling their heads. It
appears that the proprietors of “The
Stowaway” dramatic company, who are
to produce that play at Niblo’s garden
next week, propose to employ two no
torious and skillful burglars as actors
in that realistic drama, whose duty
will consist of doing a neat job in the
way of burglary in full view of the au
dience. They will be supplied with all
the latest and most approved devices
in the way of burglars’ tools, and will
“crack a safe” every night on the stage
within a given time, the burglary being
a genuine one every night so far as
opening the closed safe is concerned.
When the case was brought to the at
tention of Inspector Byrne’s assistant,
Sergt. Bird, he said it was an interest
ing and peculiar one, unlike any that
had ever come before the city police
authorities. If the actor-burglars, how
ever, were men who were “wanted” by
the police, the officers of the law, he
thought, would add another realistic
touch to the melodrama by promptly
walking on the stage and nabbing them
in the act.
It is said that one of the burglars em
ployed for the purpose will be “Kiddy”
McCoy, alias “Limpy, the Bilk,” whose
picture adorns the rogues’ gallery. He
has done time in the State prison for
several bank burglaries, and is said to
have been one of those concerned in
the Northampton bank robbery. This
enterprising individual takes a not un
natural pride in the calling in which he
is such an expert member, and will act
upon the stage to show his contempt
for safes and safe-makers. He has
boasted that there is no such thing as a
burglar-proof safe, and that he can open
any safe put before him in a given time.
If he fails in this, it is said that he is
willing to surrender a forfeit to the
managers of the play.
The safe manufacturers are deeply
interested in this novel experiment, and
will furnish safes of various makes for
the successive performances of “The
Stowaway,” having agents on hand to
see that the safe is first securely locked.
It is believed that these burglars will
“beat the record” on safe-breaking
when they get under way, and give
points about expert workmanship to
their fellow-craftsmen.
for some successful anecdotes. Jim,
who is of that shade known as a ‘ bright
mulatto,” has black silken curls and a
smile that renders him the delight and
torment of all the “yaller gals’ of the
city, and his temper is as sunny as a
day in June. It is Mr. Smith’s invaria
ble habit to discharge bis valet once a
week in futile endeavor to persuade
Jim that he does not own his master,
body and soul; but as the amiable Afri
can sweetly ignores all such ebullitions,
and always returns the next morning,
placidly unconscious of any unpleasant
ness, the habit serves only as a relief to
his master’s overcharged feelings. On
one occasion he carried Jim down into
unfamiliar wilds in Georgia and pur
posely lost him, after the fashion in
which one rids one’s self of obnoxious
cats, and for two weeks after his return
revelled in his freedom. At the end of
that time, in answer to his bell one
morning, Jim put his head in at the door
and asked, in his usual tone, “Mis’ Smiff,
did you ring fer me?” and then his mas
ter resigned himself to his obvious des
tiny. His only consolation is that a
repetition of Jim’s sayings sometimes
helps him over shoals of silence at a
stupid dinner party. Here are two of
them:
One morning Jim having been in
structed to rouse Smith at a certain
hour woke him with exclaiming: “Law!
Mis’ Smiff, I done bed such bad luck dis
mawnin! I done clean fergot ter wake
you up time you tole me.”
Smith groaned. “Jim you are too tri
fling to live. I wish you would die. I’ll
never get rid of you any other way.”
The darkey set about his duties with
out resentment, and said, contempla
tively, a few moments later, with an
evident desire to be obliging: “I don’t
mind dyin, Mis’ Smiff; it’s stayin’ dead
so long’s what henders me.”
Jim and a young African companion
were one day fishing from the wharves.
His friend missed his footing, fell into
the water and was drowned. Jim’s
grief was so uproarious that a sympa
thetic bystander inquired if the
drowned boy was a relation. “No,”
said Jim, through his tears; “he warn’t
no relation, but he mout’s well been—
he hedall de bait.”
Why the Train Ran Slow.
San Francisco Call.
A man was one day making a trip on
a mixed train on a Dakota road. Pas
sage on these trains is never taken ex
cept for journeys of considerable length;
walking is as easy and much faster for
short distances. On this occasion the
movement was even more deliberate
than usual, and the passenger called
the conductor to his seat and said:
“Isn’t this motion pretty slow?”
“Well, we ain’t flying, I’ll admit.”
“Sure everything is all right ?”
“I think so.”
“Wheels all greased?”
“Yes, I greased them myself.”
“Tires all on ?”
“Yes. We run through the creek back
here and soaked up the wheels so that
they would stay.”
“Any spokes loose ?”
“No.”
“You are certain the wheels are all
on the rails ?”
“They were when I come in.”
“Couldn’t be possible that any of
them are off and ti e axle dragging,
could it ?”
“I guess not.”
“Are we going up hill ?”
“No, this is pretty middlin’ level.”
“Do you always run at this gait?”
“No, we generally hump along a lit
tle faster than this.”
“May I ask w..at is the trouble,
then ?”
“Certainly. AVe found a 2-year-old
steer stuck in a trestle back here, before
you got on, and stopped and helped it
our. You know the rules of the road
are that in such a case the animal be
longs to the company.”
“But I don’t see why that makes you
run so thundering slow.”
“Why, you blame fool, we’re takin’
that steer along to headquarters; got it
tied on behind, and it ain’t used to lead-
, and don’t walk up very well. I’m
doing all I can; got the brakeman prod
ding it up with an umbrella; an ear of
corn tied to the bell rope. If you think
I’mgoin’ to start up and go howlin’
along and yank the horn off as good a
steer as there is in the territory, wh*y,
you*re mistaken, that’s all. Us train
men can’t expect our pay unless we
bring in some stock once :n a while.”
“The gimfastic affairs of this yere
Constikushion are about to be over
whelmed by the pulley-blocks o’ na
ture.”
This noble sentiment was applauded
to the echo. A stranger in the district
asked the way to the place of a man
named Owen. The mountaineer to
whom he addressed the query was also
a person of superior culture, and his re
ply was couched in these weird words:
“Although Owen’s place is strictly
adjacent to mine, I cannot circumvent
with any degree of certainnities his
wherefores or whichabouts;” a reply
that would have delighted the late Mr.
Weller.
A Candidate's Woes.
Man that is nominated of a convention

the newsboy crieth it aloud in the
streets of the city.
He seeth his substance consumed by
the striker and worker, while the heel
er devoureth him even as the locust
doth the green field.
All day long do fellows of the baser
sort lie in wait for him at his gateway,
and say, lend me five shekels, the which
when they have gotten they spend in
the beer saloon of his enemy and laugh
—ha! ha!
His days are filled with the sound of
the brass band, and his slumber is bro
ken by the scribes, who regard not the
proprieties, but awaken him at all hours
and command him to be thou interview
ed, and straightway publish unto the
people words the like which he had ut

He maketh a speech unto the people,
and the enemy crieth that he is windy
and a man of vain words.
He sayeth naught, but shakeththe
hands of the populace, and lo ! the peo
ple declare he is a chump, and knowdth
not what to say.
He is prudent with his treasure, and
lo ! the striker, the heeler and the bum
mer stand in the streets and cry, he is a
chilly man, and loveth not his fellow-
man.
He giveth his shekels to the cause, and
straightway the scribes and prophets
of the enemy proclaim from the house

with a loud voice, this man would de

I have been suffering from kidney disease
fora month past, and the pain in my back
was very severe. My occupation requires a
good deal of writing at night, and I suffered
all the time. I saw one man who said he was
cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B)

trreat deal less. I have only used two bottles,
and I believe it will effect a cure by the use

New York Times.
A few days ago a young woman who
was passing the corner of Broadway
and Twenty-third street was attracted
by the voice of a young man who was
selling young pups. “Here’s your Har
rison and Morton pups !” he was shout
ing to passers-by.
It so happened that she was a devout
Republican, and the novelty of possess
ing a Harrison and Morton pup got the
the better of her judgment, for before
she realized the presence of a gaping
crowd she had purchased a little beau
ty.
Two days later she was passing the
same corner. The same young man was
there, but this time he was shouting:
“Here’s the place to get your Cleve
land and Thurman pups !”
She pushed her way in. She was mad.
With suppressed indignation she said :
“How is it you are selling Cleveland
and Thurman pups now? Two days
ago you said they were Harrison and
Morton pups.”
“They were then,” suavely replied
the pup dealer, “but they’ve got their
eyes open now. Anybody else want a
Cleveland and Thurman pup!”
Amid the laughter and shouts of the
crowd the woman who had bought a
Harrison and Morton pup with its eyes
closed elbowed her way out and hur
ried away.
“I heard an odd story the other day
about Bishop Heber’s beautiful hymn,
‘From Greenland’s Icy Mountains,’”
said a well-known Cincinnatian.
“What is it ?”
“It relates to*the music of the hymn.
You remember that Bishop Heber
wrote it while in Ceylon, in 1S24. About
a year later it reached America, and a
lady in Charleston, S. C., was struck
with its beauty. She could find, how
ever, no tune that seemed to suit it.
She remembered a young bank clerk,
Lowell Mason, afterward so celebrated,
who was just a few steps down the
street, and who had a reputation as a
musical genius. So she sent her son to
ask him to write a tune that would go
with the hymn. In just half an hour
back came the boy with the music, and
that melody, dashed off in such haste,
is to this day sung with that song.”
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could searceij
walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At
night could not sleep for the excruciating
nain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dn-
ferent- patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
w-lien I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of iny com
plaint-, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much Taith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very inuen relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and have been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. I
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
has been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If any one should doubt as to my being
cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with and have been with for
many years: Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta
nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of

Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20,1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you
for some time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 18 years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used aoout 30 bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation: That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, and, to m.v utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my giri’s leg was entire-
lv well. I also had a very ugly running sore
o~n the calf ol my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well known
in this and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S, Elsom.

this bottle he became so much better that 1
got tb& second bottle, which is now beiAg us-
ed and mvson is nearly well, and I think by
removing‘liim to a cooler summer climate
(which I will do) and continuing its use, a

A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 2, 1887.
For a number ot years I have suffe red un
told agonies from the effects of Mood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and recived but little, if any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spending a large amount ot money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having tut little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to-day a well and
hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual
ities of K. B. B. I cannot commend it too
highly to those suffering from blood poison.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Baltimore, April 20,1867.—For over twen
ty years I have been troubled with ulcerated
bowels, and bleeding piles, and grew weak and
thin from constant loss of blood. I have used
four bottles of B B. B B., and have gained 15
in weightand my general healtli is better than
for ten years. I recommend your B. B..B. as
the best medicine I have ever used, and owe
my improvement to the use of Botanic Blood
Balm. Eugenius A. Smith, 318 Exeter St.
AN OLD MAN RESTORED.
Dawson, Ga., June 30, 1887.—Being and old
man and suffering from general debility and
rheumat ism of the joints of the shoulders, I
found difficulty in attending to my business,
that of a lawyer, until I bought, and used five
bottles of B. B B., Botanic Blood Balm, ot
Mr. T. C. Jones, of J. R. Irwin & ^on, and my
general health lias improved and the rheuma
tism left me. I believe it to be a good medi-
| cine. J. H. Laing.
