M. GHKVREUL , the centenarian over
whom the } are making quite a fuss in
Paris , never drank wine and-abhors the
mere smell of it.
YORK CITY has , says the
Graphic , 10,000 licensed saloons and
2,000 that are unlicensed. She has
1,055 bakeries , 2.015 meat markets ,
and 4,126 grocery stores. The infer
ence is , that drinking is the essential
business of the male sex in Ne York.
CHAUNCKY M. DEPEW says the prin
cipal American topic in the European
papers while he was abroad , was the
fight on the floor of Congress between
Messrs. Laird and Cobb. These two
persons were held up as leading Amer
ican statesmen , and there were columns
in tha-papers going to show that their
meeting-was typical of American civil
ization. Such is fame !
GOVERNOR LARRABEE , of Iowa , has
acted promptly and properly in issuing
a quarantine proclamation against Illi
nois cattle. The wide-spread existence
of pleuro-pneumonia in Chicago is a
menace to all the neighboring states.
This contagious disease cannot be too
carefully isolated. Governor Dawes
will do well to follow suit in the inter
ests of Nebraska stock raisers.
of Wisconsin , who loved
Grover for the enemies he had raadp ,
was retired from congress the other day
by the democrats of his district , who
do. not love him for the friends he has
made , namely , the administration. There
are a good many worse men in the dem
ocratic party than Gen. Brass. But
* .
the democracy is marking for slaughter
every conspicuous friend of the presi
dent.
A RUMOR FROM SHILOH.
From , tlic October Century.
" 3-lnduriu' of the war" it was not
safe in Kentucky for Southern sympa
thizers to rejoice over Southern succes
ses. A certain old "secesh" from the
hills of Tale's Creek in Madison coun
ty had been frequently admonished by
Judge Turner of Richmond , Kentucky ,
that if he was not more cautious he
would land in Camp Chase or some
other Northern prison. One day the
Judge observed his old friend glancing
anxiously into his office as he passed
and repassed the door. Calling him in ,
the Judge asked him what was the
matter. ' 'Well , * ' said the old man ,
"Jedge. if you'll lock yer door I'll tell
you. " After assuring himself that
there were no listeners he proceeded.
"Jedge , I hearn as the Rebils an'
the Yankees has had a ma.ter tiirht.
O
As I hearn it , the Rebils and the Yan
kees they met away down on the Mass-
is-sippi River , an' they fit three days
in and three days out. an' the een uv
the third day cum John C. .Bracken-
ridge , Kentucky's noble son , an'axed
fur the priverlige uv the fiel * fur fifteen
minits , an' Jedge they do say he
slew er hunderd thousand uv'm. ' "
Watch for it ! The first svnintoin of true
croup is hoarseness and if Chamberlain's
Cough Ilcmeily is freely given at once ami
the doses frequently repeated , the dread dis
ease may be entirely prevented and all dan
