SELECTED MATTER
How be Had his Name Changed.
The other day a young African asked
us if it was “agin de law" to change his
name. We replied that if he had a good
t ame ho had better keep it, as a good
name wax the one thing to be desired in
this world.
Tse got a putty fa’r name,’ he said,
"w’et I'se had ever atnee dewar, but it
won’t do for din chile any ntoab.'
•Why, what's the mutter with it?' we
asked.
'Well, you ace, boss, dar's a fool nigger
come hyar from CbilHeoffe, an’ ha’s a buz
-7.1a around wid u>y name, an’ no two nig
fer.t can circutngate in de name town on
loss one or de udder ob 'em hab a different
procogueni.'
•Perhaps you can preraii on him to
adopt another name.’
'ho, sah; I offered him foaff hits an’ a
rnhzor to call hissulf somethin' else sides
George Wusbin’ton Jones, but do yaller
fool won’t doit.’
'Veilow, is he?'
Yes, sah, an’ dal's what makes me so in
jurious about it. He says de Jonoes waz
■ie fuatest fnuiilira of Kirginny, an' dat
he’s condescended in n direct line from
dew, and conseqnenchly darfouh walues
de name moah exceedingly dan udder,
wise,’
‘So you propose to off with the old name
and on with anew 1’
'Somethin’ like dat, I s'pose, boss. An’
1 want to ax yon de favor to sejest some
likappropriate name dat’l! do for a online]
i usaon ob standing. I dont soshato wid
, common, low-class niggers, an’ I wants
a name out o' dore uncomprehension
what dev can't steal, you know ’
llow'll Benedict Arnold, do?’
In. Arnold am totiish, for suah, hut
1-ir'i. too many linnuys an' Dicks around.
Try anudder one, boas.’
•Well, Algernon Hnrtoris how’s that?’
Dat’s superlngant! Algcrneyman Bar
tons Arnold dat'd do for some oh do
name. I'lease reach for anudder one,
i.h. ’
•Why, that's name enough. How much
hi you want, for goodnesssuke?’
'Dorr, you must ‘member dat I’so deek
in iu do church an’ prictor ob a house an'
lot.’
‘Oh! yes; well-—let's see—Bill Allen?’
'Dal’s too common.'
' Abraham Lincoln ?’
Too ordinary, aali. (lit up higher
Phil. Sheridan ?’
Higher yet, sail, if you please '
William Teennjsch Sher--'
.Stop sah- dal's miff needn’t feel no
furtler. Wilyum Oherkumscy- dat sounds
tike o)o Kuintiuk- Wilyum Clierkumsey
Aigornoynian Kartoris Arnold. Yes sah,
.Ist, 11 do no low-class nigger nan get in
side o’ dat. Yoti'se tie solumn witness,
boss dat dnt’s my name, from Ueucefo'th
nu to all precedin’ time. I’se obliged to
you, sail.’
As lie walked majestically away, repeat
ing the name over to himself; he was the
proudest nigger in Brunswick. Aud yet
Hhakespearc aaj'R there is nothing ill n
vstuo. —[Brunswickor.
A Clerk's Slory.
‘Wlien 1 used to tend store the old mint
ime n round one day, end sujr he, ‘Hoys,
tl i one who sells tbo most between now
and ChiiMuiits gets vest pattern, as n
present’ Maybe Unit we did not work
for the vtat pattern. I tell yott, there
were some tall stories in praise of poods
about thst time, but tbo tallest talker, and
the one who had the most .cheek of any of
us was a certain John (luires, who roomed
with me. He could talk a dollar out of a
man’s pocket when he only intended to
spied a six-ponce, and the women—Lord
bless you—they just handed over their
pocket-boks to bitn and let him lay out
"hat be liked for them. One nigltt John
wcke cue up with, By Jove, old fellow
if you think that ere’* co.tt.on in it, I’ll
bring you down the sheep it was out (rom,
and make hiui own his own wool. Twon’t
wear out either; wore a pair of pants of
that stuff for five years, and they are as
!0 odes when I first put them pa. Take
it at thirty oeuts, and I'll say you didn't
ow me anything t.h —too dear? Well,
caii it twenty-eight cents. What d'ye
aay ? Ail right It’s ft bargaiu.' I could
ttei John's he ode playing about the bed
. totbes for an instant; then rip, tear, wfnt
ennethiug or another, and I bid my head
under lUe blankets, perfectly convulsed
v ith laughter, and perfectly sure that
Tohn had torn the best sheet from top to
bottom. When I awoke the next morn
ing 1 found the bark of my night-shirt
.plit ft om the bottom to the collar-band.
I feel very queer! ’’ was the remarks of
* corpse” in Chicago, with whom a party
~f friends were sitting up. This little de
-iatiou I rom the general conduct of corpses
made the aitUs re-up feel queer too, and
they capered out of there, leaving the
"body” to S’.t up with itself. If dead bodies
are going to act in this tnauner. they will
hate sonic trouble iu getting people to sit
cp with them.
True liberty consists in the privilege of
,-nycying our own rights, not in the de
struction of the rights of others
mm* ► • •
strong minds, like hardy evergreens,are
most hardy iu winter, wheu feeble ones,
like tender Rummer plants, are leasfless.
They give the poor soup iustead of
meat on the general theory that beggars
-bon’d not be obe irs.
BLAKErS EL.KqTfIXC REBIEF 1 ,
Or TOOTHACHE ANODYNE,
FOR THE IMMEDIATE RELIEF OF TOOTHACHE.
Toothache is generally produced from exposure of the nerve, by the decay of the tooth. For toothache, from exposed nerve, the Electric Relief is a certain remedy, and will posi
tively destroy the nerve of the tooth, without injuring the teeth, at- Creosote and Carbolic Acid generally do. Many a Dentist’s bill can be laved by the timely use of the Electric Re
\.\r.v. Toothache takes you unawares, therefore every bouse should have a bottle on hand, in case of necessity. Always use according to directions, and you will not be disappointed.
Insert carefully in the hollow of the tooth a plug of cotton d ; pped in the Electric Relief; do not use the fingers; put the cotton on a pointed stick or toothpick when you insert. tr ice

useful invention consists in a Strainer
which stes on tho boilar ami through which
tho boiling juice overflows, is cooled, and j
again descends into the boiler, leaving the j
scum on the top; thereby doing all the work of j
SKIMMING AND COOLING,
and doing it bettor than it can possible be
done by the old mode of Skimming and Cool

It skims perfectly—impossible to mako it
waste—makes prettier and better Syrup than

rapid boiling bos no effect upon it in causing
waste. One hand can runja
HALF DOZEN BOILERS
with more easo than two can mind one boiler

juice, keep up the fire and tako the Syrup out
