Some Colonial Stories.
One evening, in the principal gold-min
ing camp in the Transval, 9 or 10 years ago,
a man, partially intoxicated and supposed
to be actuated by jealousy, attempted suicide
He first took morphia; but this not proving
strong enough, he tried to hang himself,
but was prevented and handed over to the
eherifl, to be kept in safe custody for the
night, and to be tried before the acting gold
commissioner (a shrewd and sokm Scot)
the next morning As there was no law to
have prevented him Irom committing sni- L
cide if he th Right fit, but it being desirab e
to punish hint in some way, it was decided I'
to bring a charge of drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct against him. To this the
prisoner pleaded guilty; whereupon the act
ing gold commissioner, without the ghost
of a smile, delivered the following judgment
“Mr. ; J shall fine ye twa punds for
your drunkenness, but I’ll just gie ye to un
derstand that 1 ken vera weel what ye at
tempted to dae, and had ye succeeded in
your attempt, your poonishment would have (
bsn vera much more severe than it is.”
While I write, another story comes to my
mind An old miner of my acquaintance ;
had the following story current about him :
W hile in British Columbia he appeared as
witness a in court court of justice, and the
Judge, not satisfied with his answer, angrily
told him he was “prevaricating.” “Can’t
help it Jedge,” said the unabashed miner.
“Can’t help it!” sail the Judge, “why, what
do you mean!” “Just so, Jedge, three years
ago I was ‘packing’ in Idaho, and one of
them tarnal mules reached out and tuk ofi
my front teeth, and I’ve prevaricated ever
since.”
A story is at the present moment going
the round if the colonial newspapers. A
well known colonial Judge, who is an Irish
man, has just returned from a circuit, and at
one of the last places in which he held his
court he told a witness to “bold his tongue,
and give his evidenca clearly.”
He Wanted a Pass.
The following correspondence explains it
self :
Office of Evening Squeal, Jan. 14, ’BS
General Passenger Agent, Great North
American Gitthere Railroad, Chicago,
111.
Dear Sir : I desire to know by return
mail whether or no you would be pleased to
swap transportation for kind words. I am
the e litor of the Squetl, published at this
place. It is a paper pure in tone, world
wide in its scope, and irresistible in the
sweep of its mighty arm.
I desire to visit the great exposition at
New Orleans this winter, and would be
willing to yield you a few words of editorial
opinion set in long primer type, next to pure
reading matter, and without advertising
marks. You may make the pass read:
“For self, Chicago to St. Louis and return,”
aid I will write the editorial, or you miy
make it read: “Self and wife,’ and I will
let you write it for yourself
Yours truly,
Daniel Webster Brigs,
Edito if the Squeal.

Washington Letter in the Record.
Stuttering “Bi 1” Travers took Dorshe -
mer out for a drive out of New York.
Travers out it a “Ha’s way” hotel and
got a drink. “Who’s th t in your wagon,
Bill?” asked a crony standing by. “Oh, ’
said Travers, “i t-that’s Ex-Lieutenant
Gover D-D-D-Dorsheimer.” “Why,” sai I |
bis friend. “I had no idea he was such a big
man.” “Y-y-vou ought t t c to see him ; s
he t-t'thinks he is.” responded Travers as
he left the bar.
Thousands Hastened to Their Graves.
By relying on testimonials written hi vivid |
glowing language of some miracul- us cures
made by some largely puffed up doctor or
patent medicine has hastened thousaned
to their graves: the readers hav
ing almost insane faith that th same miracle
will be performed on them, that these testi
monials mention, while tlie so called medi
cine is all the time hastening them to their
graves. Although we have

It has never tailed ana never can. We will
give reference to anyone for any disease simi

the known world but can show its cures by

A Losing Joke.
“A prominent physician of Pittsburg said
“to a iady patient who was complaining of
“her continued ill health, and of his inability
“to cure her, Jokingly said : “Try Hop Bit
“ters !” The lady took i in earnest and used
“the Bitters, from which she obtained per
“manent health. She now laughed at the
“doctor for his joke, but he is not so well
“pleased with it, as it cost him a good
“patient. »
Fees oi Doctors.
The fee of doctors at 53.00 a visit would tax
man for a year, and in need of a daily visit.
3ver SI,OOO a year lor medical attendance

Given up by the Doctors.
“Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and at
work, and cured by so simple a remedy?’’
“1 assure you it is true that he is entirely
cured, and with nothing but Hop Bitters,
and only ten days ago his doctors gave him
up and said he must die, from Kidney and
Liver trouble!”
