Strange, la it, that in thoughtful mood When ahucked aud cooked of late, I wondered why 1 should be stewed With elams who have no pedigree Aud elama without philosophy— Can’t men discriminate? N. r.

Saul a philosopher: “My frieni conducted his future wife to the alia —aud here his leadership came to ai end.” “A lass, a lass,” exclaimed an oh bachelor who wauted to marrj “Alas! alas!” cried he after beiup married a few weeks. “Loss of a China packet ship,” ex claimed Mrs. Partington ; “no won der, when iron ones isn’t always safe.” A Cabinet officer's wife hearing that the Hoosac tunnel cost Slo.uOO , yard, is now importuning him for t. areas of the same stuff. Ask a St. Louis man about Chicago, aud he will admit there is such i place iu Illinois, but willalways add. “it’s all mortgaged to Boston.” It isn’t necessary for a man to carr a pistol to frighten people now-a days. He has merely to flourish a bill. A jury in a suicide case lately re turned the following verdict: "\\< the jury, find that the deceased wa a fool.” Writes a friend; “Some tribes in flict punishment upon themselves a a religious duty ; but my shoemuke, says he don’t see how they can bee, soles with welts.” Says a country editor: “Who drinks all the whiskey made in the Ualtei States is wlytt staggers us.” It i.~ enough to stagger anybody. “Diogenes huntid in da time wit! a tin lantern for an honest man. 1 he hod lived in these daze, he wouh iiev need id the hed lite ova lokomo tiv.—Joxli Billings.

He had a bowl of bread and milk. He tasted it, an then hesitated a moment, when hi mother asked him if he didn't like it to which he replied, smacking hi: lips: “Yes, ma’am ; I was only wish ing our milkman would keep a cow.” Mrs. Logroller, whose husband is a delegate to a political convention, grins derisively at reading that th< delegates have been instructed “Heap o’ good it’ll do to instruct old Logroller!” she says: “I’ve been in struetin’ the pig-headed fool fo years, and he can’t buy a yard of cali co with any sense yet.” Felt its Loss. A Preston man wa very angry on going home the othei night to find that his wife hud leni the only Bible in the house. He said it was a disgrace that, in this age ot Christian enlightenment a famiiv should have only one copy of ihe Bi ble. It. seems lie wanted to decide a bet as to whether it was Paul or Ce phas who said, “Consistency, thou art a jewel.” —Norwich Bulletin. A gentleman up-town invited a friend the other evening to go into the nursery and hear the children say their prayers. They stopped u moment on the stairs, however, and when they reached the room the lit tle pratlers had just sung their even ing hymn, and were trying to drown the kitten in the wash-bowl. The visitor appeared to be deeply moved. Lady customer —“Have you a nice book all covered with red leather, with gold letters on the back?” Shopkeeper—“ Yes, madam ; we have De Quincy’s works, three volumes, in Kussia; or General Sherman’s Me moirs, two volumes, in calf.” Ladv customer—“l don’t want anything ttbout Russia. Give mo the book about the dear little calves; besides it was made by a General.” The poet of the bell punch has come out in favor of the cash system, and gives the following advice to t he “retailair:” ••Retailer, shun a bad debtare, Turn a deaf ear to his promises fair; A smile and a ‘no’ to the new conn are, A frown aud a ‘no’ to the bad pay are, Asuapped-out ‘no* to the delaultare; Watch, brothers, watch—watch with care; Watch all the tricks of the bad payare.” Chicago Times: A shower of goose eggs fell at Niagara, Ontario, the other day. The correspondent who tells the" story explains that they probably fell from a flock of wild geese winch became bewildered in a storm and were unable to reach their usual laying place; but he insists that the eggs were not broken. There is no way to explain this latter cir cumstance except on the supposition that Niagara, Ontario, is not a moral Niagara, and that the people of the place lied about the eggs. Dr. Hare’s work on diseases of the lip has produced quite a stir in medi cal circles, but the author never in tended the book to make young men blush. Yesterday a charming little lady asked one of the handsome young clerks at Eyrieh’s bookstore if he had “Hare on the Lip ” The young man upset a box of pens, overturned a set of Dickens, and with something like impatience, stammered: "Yes, mam—a little but the prospect is good for more.” The lady had to explain.— N. 0. Bul letin. The German General Staff has pub lished a report on the trials made since 1871 with regard to the employ ment of balloons for military pur poses. 411 attempts to direct bal loons have failed. It is hoped that means for mounting and descending without throwing out ballast or jet ting out gas, and renewing, during the voyage, by chemical means, the provision of gas will shortly bo dis covered. Balloons should not be too large, and the covering should be as dense and at the same time as light as possible. The experiments for dis covering the means to direct bal loons are being continued. The questions of the most suitable pro portion between the diameter of the screw and the height of the balloon, of the best shape to be given to the wings, and of the number of the wings, are also being studied. EPITAPHS. The Boston Bulletin has prepared the following list: Epitaph for a liar: Iu life ho lied while he had breath; And strange to say, lien still lu death. For an angler—Waiting for a rise. For a baker—He kneads no more on earth. For a betting mail—“ Better off.” For a brewer: A well-known brewer lietli here; His ails are o’er—he’s on “his bier.” Fora waiter—“ Only waiting.” Fora, doctor—“ Waiting with pa tients.” For a beggar—l asked for bread md they gave me a stone. Fora bootblack -“With the shio ■ ng ones.” For a pottor: On earth he oft turned clay to delf, But now he’s turned to clay himself. For a razor grinder U nder ground. For a dressmaker—“ For the fash on of this world passeth away.” For a musical director :• In beating time his life was passed, But Time has beaten him at last. For a sailor—Anchored! For an auctioneer—Gone! For a watchmaker—Stopped. Fora barber Scent ahead. For a wheelwright—Tired of life. For a telegrapher-Dispatched. For a scalemaker: His weighs were ways of pleasantness In ail life’s fitful dream; He struck a balance with the world. And then—he kicked the beam. llount Vesuvius. From the London Telegraph, March 21.1 After many false alarms and par ial outbreaks, Vesuvius is reported o be having an eruption at length u grim earnest. On Friday night lie ancient mountain began to pour orth a stream of lava, while an iin oense column of milk-white vapor rose high into the air,illumined mag lirteently, it is said, by the tires which were raging in the crater be icath. Quantities of stones, cinders, md scoria' were at the same time •jected both in the night of Friday md during Saturday, as though the subterranean furnaces that underlie he brim of the lovely Bay of Naples were being stoked by the fire iuomes for a really grand outburst, vs yet, however, we hear nothing of ieial from Prof. Palmieri, who. tom itis watch-tower near the sum mit, keeps an eye perpetually fixed tpou the mountain, surrounded by eismographs aud cunning iustru uents of all sorts, which enable him o feel the pulse of Vesuvius, ano generally to foretell a fever-fit in tie capricious vole mo. Its change oil moth s, however, frequently de ■cive even this accomplished aud earless sent inel of science, for it is iow some weeks since the Professor gave erroneous warning of an imrni lent eruption. The water was smok in' more t han usual, and Vesuvius is seldom without ut least a thin wreath if vapor curling from its crest, which a calm weather gathers into a cloud tbove its head, flecking the bright nine campanian sky. This wreath was a dense and roll ing volume of smoke when Palmieri gave liis warning; the mountain was rembling with the inner shocks and loises which mostly precede an out >reak, and near its top fire could be seen luridly shining iu the night from lie many crevices, out. of which ex ided the mephitic smell of sulphur ms gases. Yet, notwithstanding all hese tokens of disturbances inside lie volcano, the symptoms appear •q to subside, and Vesuvius was h mglit to be settling down. <‘rom time to time since then there have been only slight relapses; and he present paroxysm appears to lave come on with something like abruptness, which we believe, is one of the worst possible signs of its in tentions which the volcano evei gives. The terrible outbreak of A. D. 79, which overwhelmed Pompeii, md cost the life of the Elder Pliny, began in t.ho same fashion, villi a great cloud of wiiite vapoi suddenly ejected to a vast height, ighted up by the fires of the ojmti ng crater, and full of black frag ments and showers of scoria;. To a certain extent, no doubt, all serious eruptions of the volcano at some time or other reproduce these phenomena; out it is always an evil omen when (.he column of smoke is like that de scribed in ihe letter to Tacitus: “Its iigure resembled the conformation of a pine-tree, for it shot up to a great height in the manner of a trunk, which extended itself at the top iu similitude of branches, appearing scrutinies blight and sometimes dark >r spotted, as it. was more ( r less im pregnated with earth aud cinders.” Stories that| You Neciln't Believe. “Speaking of shooting ducks,” says Dr. F., “puts me in tnind of the great storm that occurred when I lived on the island. As you are all well aware, our island was near Cas co bay; an awful storm arose, and was so fierce that it drove all the ducks iu the hay into a pond, cover ing about an acre, near my house. In fact, so many ducks crowded into that pond that 1 could not see a drop of wa>er. “Stioo,” says Smith, “didn’t ye shoot any of ’em?” “That’s what I was coming at. I went into the house and got my double-barreled shot gun, and dis charged both barrels right into the midst of them, but to my astonish ment they all arose into the air, leaving not a solitary duck on the pond.” “Good gracious! You don’t say so,” said Smith. “Didn’t you hev any shot in yer gun, or what in thun der was the trouble!” “Well, I was coming to that,” said Dr. F. “It astonished me at first; but as soon as the ducks rose a few hundred yards in the air, and com menced to separate a little, ducks be gan to drop, and, whether you believe it or not, I picked up twenty-nine barrels of ducks, and it was a poor season for ducks, too. You see the ducks were wedged in so solid on the pond that when they arose they car ried the dead oues in the air with them,and, when they separated,down came the twenty-nine barrels of dead ducks.” “Oh,” says Smith, “I’m not sur prised at that at ail, or at the big lot of ducks yer bagged, for it was an awful storm. I remember it well, doctor. I had at that time a corn barn full of corn ; on one side of the barn was an open window, and on the other side was a knot-hole; and during the storm the wind blew so fierce that ,t blew every ear of that corn right through the knot-hole,and the hole being just the size of a cob only, the result was that it shelled every ear, leaving the corn in the barn, and the next morning I found my corn barn half full otjsheiled corn and not a single cob. I.had a curios ity to know where the cobs had gone to. I wont to the rear of the barn and followed the lino of those cobs over eleven miles, and at a distance of about five miles a large, first-growth (line tree stood in the track, and darn me if the wind hadn’t driv cobs into that ’ere tree from top to the bottom. Oli, doctor, that was an awful storm.” “Yes,” sighs the doctor, “awful.” FOR SALE CHEAP. GOOD House and Lot on Baldwin street. THORNTON & WILLIAMS. march 26 tf THE WHOLESALE GROCERY HOUSES OF J. J.

Many ladies’ hair falls out so rapidly at each combing, and be comes so short and thin that they can’t support curls, nor a “club” without the aid of “dead hair,” at an enormous expense, and shorn perhaps from some diseased scalp. We will tell you how to stop your hair from falling out at once; how to make it grow long and rapidly; how to cleanse your scalp from all dandruff; how to give your hair a beautiful, glossy appearance without the use of oil, grease or anything poisonous or the least injurious; but on the contrary, it cools the head, and is one ol the most delightful perfumed Hair Dressings you ever used. SAVE YOUR Money and we will do the above, under contract, or make no charge. Gentlemen who have been so unfortunate as to lose their hair and become bald-headed, can by the use of the same article, cre ate a growth of new hair all over the bald spot; or in other words, we propose to cover over all bald heads with their own hair, under contract, or no charge made. It will also give anew growth to whiskers and moustache, and imparts life, beauty and elegance to the hair and whiskers. This article acts directly upon the hair follicles and bulbs, penetrating, stimulating aad arousiug their dormant energies to action, thus imparting anew life aud new growth in the hair germs. Many persons are ready to cry “humbug,” but gentlemen, you cau have your OWN HAIR or no charge will bo made. This truly wonderful preparation caused hair to grow six feet iu length on the head of a Kentucky lady, who had been bald-headed: it has restored hair to the heads of those who have been bald from 10 to 25 years. A pamphlet filled with positive aud unmistakable proof from Doctors Ministers, Editors, Drug gists, &c., sent free to any address; and we will give One Thousand Dollars to any one who will prove that any of our certificates are “bogus.” It does not change the color of the hair, hence is harmless aud free from any poison. .... The wonderful article alluded to is known as Dr. J. Newton Smiths Hair Restorative. Price SI.OO, or 3 bottles for $2.50, or $8 00 per dozen to dealers, express* don receipt of price. Many per sous are ordering one bottle to be seut from five hundred to one thousand miles, while the freight will be no more on three, or half a dozen bottles, than on one. One bottle for baldness is not a fair trial. First satisfy yourself that we are not humbugging you, then call on your druggist, or order a fair supply direct from us.
