- -r-?r Tfj3& wrrr9iii8a$TQFiF' ifS yp-'-kl -&m The San 1V1 th lIicArj-cnic. About 11 o'clock yeaterday morning a haggard-looking 6tranger entered a saloon on Grand River Avenue and asked for a.glass of beer. When his nickel had been raked into tho till the -saloonist took a seat and began reading a newspaper. "Here-is ray last nickel!" solemnly began the stranger. "When Iswal-j low this beer I am a beggar and an outcast. The world does not care for me why should I care for the world ? I will mix poison with this, my last glass!" He turned to the man .with the pa per, but the saloonist didn't seem to care. . "Yes; I will poison myself.and die in my traoks!" exclaimed the strang er in a sad voice. The man with the paper didn't look up. "So hero goes to end my worthless self!'- continued the stranger, as he took out a fjaper and poured a white powder into the glass. "Farewell! cold world ! farewell! Xiet them bury me in the sunshine or the shadow I care not!" He drank his beer, but thesaloonist had his nose close to tho paper and was spelling out a -big word. The stranger started for the door, bat, too madtocontain himself, he returned and demanded': "Will you sit there and seeme poi bou myself and Tiever utter a word ?" "Have you taken poison ?'' "I have ! I just swallowed a fatal dose of arsenio !" "Good !" chuckled the saloou-keep- r as he rose up. "I have a regular contract with the doctors, and you'll net me $12! Come in here!" He grubbed the stranger by the neck and dragged him into a closet at the baok end of the room, saying, as he .locked the door : "Glad you took arsenic, as It leaves the body in a moist, limber condi tion !" The stranger yelled 'and pounded and explained that he had only swal lowed a little chalk powdered up, and after half an hour he was let out. "You have robbed me of $12 !" bit terly exclaimed tho saloonist, as he led the man to the door and gave him a lift with his boot. "Yes you have robbed me, and now !" But the stranger left without saying good-by, and was afterwards heard asking a boy if he knew of auy man -who wanted to hire a gentleman to spado Press. up his garden. Detroit Free Tildcn's Political Legacies. The last honors have been paid to the defunct presldential'pretender by n sorrowing circle of attached friends. One hundred and thirty-seven Demo crats in the house have dolefully re solved that he was'the legally elected president of the United States, the Sun, though not precisely the heav ens, has been 'hang with black,' and the great army of disappointed office seekers have celebrated his wake. There now only remains to be read the will of the illustrious deceased. ILet us hope that the legacies havo been apportioned with that discrimi nating tact for which he was so justly famous. His political prospects sho'd go to David Dudley Field, who needs them most: Springer should get his talent for silence; Proctor Knott his slyness; Jeremiah Black his stage whisper; Beebo his stiffness, and Hewit, as on the-whole, the most con summate ass of the party, tho lion's 6kin in which he played the success ful role of Hercules. His impudence will hardly be needed by any of his immediate supporters, though it might be useful to correct the native modesty of his quondam friend and beneficiary, the editor of the lYibunc, and sustain him in helping President Hai's with the task of selecting hia cabinet. X. Y. Times. The 3Ieaus Employed. The New York Times, commenting on the ways and means employed by the Tildeu people to force in their . man says : Although the Oregon case lackB the raciness of the Louisiana exposure, it Is strikingly suggestive of tho Tilden tactics. Everywhere they were the same. Moneymoneymoney. That . was Mr. Tilden's constant argument for establishing his title to the Pre.-i-dency. The Corse and Miller dis patches to Pelton, published yester day, are equally significant. It is How evident that from the moment Mr. Tilden discovered that he needed one vote, and that a ohance existed of obtaining that vote from Oregon, no means were left unturned to secure it. We have not only glimpses of the truth, but they tell of the corrupt use of money at every stage of the busi ness. They are conclusive, too, as to the direot actlou of Mr. Tilden in the matter. He and his nephew were the senders or the recipients of every BUspicious message. They directed a base conspiracy from New York, and they transmitted tho money to make it successful. Cronin is the result. Joey. A Maltese spaniel, named Joey, was a very wary and careful watch-dog. He would not go to sleep if any door was left unfastened at night, or even the shutters of the garden door were open. But one rough, windy, cold night in mid-winter, the family thought iini sorely wanting in courage. It was about mid-night, when a loud noise, a rush and bang, awoke every one in the house. A thorough search was made, but nothing could be found different from usual, and no traces of a robber could q seen. Every door and window ivas fastened. Joey utterly refused to help In the c-t-ircb. Ho bad jumped Into his bas ket almost directly after ho was 3oused, and seemed to think the jaatter was not worth notice. He was taken out and piit Into the garden, but he sat down and would not move a step. The family laughed and scolded him. "Joey is a coward." ' Joey is j lazy," Joey Is no use for a watch-dog." The next morning, they noticed that the old-fashioned clock did not strike the hours as usual. The cord had broken, letting the weight fall. ThiB - was what had resounded through the house, and the dog knew there was no danger ortroublei and no reason to move from his comfortable bed. Youth's Companion. Ides of March. In "Julius Gear," Act IV., Scene 3, Brutus say A to Cassiux: "Uemem ber March ; the ides of Marchremem ber." The ides were one of -the threp epochs ordivisUms of the ancient Ro man mouth. The "calends" were the first day9 of different months; the "ides" were the middle of the month, and the "nones" the ninth day before the ides Says Webster : The vldes fell on tho 15th day of March, May, July, and October, and the 12th day of the other months." Eight days-in each month often pnss by this name, but only one strictly receives it, the others being called the days before the ide3, the third day from the ides, and so on backward to the eight from the ides. The Romans used a very pecul iar method of reckoning the days of the month. Instead of employing the ordinary numbers, they distin guished them by the number of days intervening between any given day and the next following of the fixed divisions. Ides is from the obsolete verb "iduaro" to divide, because the ides nearly divided tho month. The plain English of Brutus's remark to Cassius, according to the above inter pretation is : "Remember March; the middle of March remember.'' Boston Transcrijit. He Shouldn't Have lied. 'Are those genuinesausages?' asked he of the butcher. Ya,' said the butcher, 'dey ish gen uine.' 'Made of dog and cat, and all that?' observed the.man. 'Nein ! nein! dey Ish not!' indig uantly replied the butcher! 'I makes no dog's and cat's meat in my sausa ges.' Well, then,' said the man, walking off, 'I don't want them ; I'm after the genuine article.' The butcher was perplexed to lose the customer, and gazing wistfully af ter him, reproachfully muttered: 4Ya, ya It ish somedimes better uff I toldtde truf.' 'The brink of the water,' exolaimed Mr. Middlerib, bulging joyously into the sanctum, 'is broken I mean the wink of tho batter is b naw, the wack of the boker aw, shaw, the brack of the winker is shuky, the brote of the baker is win ken here, where is the nearest shoctor dop?

It is refreshing to witness the leer of absolute astonishment that beams from the eyes of visitors to a printing offioe, after having had the common est things explained to them. 'What is that black looking thing standing up in the corner yonder' is some times asked by a greeny. 'That,' an swers the devil, 'is the printing-office towel. We always stand It up In the corner.' Prof. E. B. Taylor said, In a recent lecture 'On the philosophy of lan guages,' at the London Institution : 'Should the extraordinary increase of English-speaking people continue at the existing ratio, there will be in twenty years 860,000,000 of them, as against 80,000,000 of French or Germ an. The English language bids fair to overwhelm all others.' As they fondly linger at the gate, he says in tones tremulous with the eo- stacy of love, 'Darling, my own pre cious darling, one fond kiss before we part!' and a sharp voice from the up stairs window calls out, 'Sarah Jane, you march Into the house. To-morrow is washin' day, and you ain't a goin to lay a-bed till noon, now I tell you i The startling estimate is made by the Los Angeles Herald that at the present rate of increase, in four years the three counties of Los Angeles. Santa Barbara aud San Bernardino will produce annually 100,000,000 lbs. of honey, valued at $20,000,000, or more than all the sugar of Louisiana, Texas and Florida.

My son,' said a doting mother to her eight-year old, 'what pleasure do you feel like giving up during the Lenten season?' 'Well, ma, I guess I'll stay away from school,' was the reply. Frank Buckland, the English na turalist, says that the skins of snakes, if dried and properly purified might be made into very attractive trim mings for ladies' dresses.

What popular ory fully desoribes an inoipient moustaoh ? 'Down in front I- "Improved Stock." I notice In your issue -of Feb. loth the inquiries of your correspondent 'J. S.""who says: "I cau buy common stock- here, cows in milk, for $25 per -bead. I find a good grade nhort-horu -will cost me from $200 upwards, or as much as eight common cattle." This statement of" J. S." shows how little some really intelligent -people know-about "improved caxtle." In stead of " a good grade short-horn'' costing "from $200 upwards," they simply cost as much more as the price of the service of a good thorough bred bull, say five dollars. If "J. S. " has a herd of common cows, he can soon raise a herd of good grade sbort-horns, by buying a thor oughbred bull, which will cost him from $100 to $150. And his herd of grades, takou at any age, will be worth-at least 33 per cent, more for all practical purposes than the same number of scrubs. This-.raislng of "grades" is just what the farmers ought to engage in. One bull, properly cared for and handled, will -answer for one hundred cows each season, "which would bring the additional costof the first crop of half blood grades, at one dollar and fifty cents each, more than the same num ber of calves sired by the scrubs on the prairie, while tho half blood calves would be worth from two to three dollars each more than the scrubs, if marketed'at the butchers for veal. After the first year the half bloods cost no more than the scrubs, the bull having paid for himself the firstseason and when his get are grown to matu rity they are worth at least a third more than the native stock, and cost no more to raise and keep. The sec ond cross would add still more to their value, as many three-quarter bred ani mals are nearly as good for all practi cal purposes of the farm as tho full blood. Still, the rule should be to keep gradiug upinstead of down, cost ing, as it does, so little, and adding as itdoes, so much to the fixedness of those qualities which give the value to the thoroughbred. If "J. S." intended to say that a thoroughbred short-horn cow should cost $200 he is quite right, and is also correct in his inference that the com mon farmer cannot afford to buy thor oughbred cows for ordinary farm pur poses. But tho thoroughbred cow is a necessary to the raising of thorough bred bulls, which the farmer may buy at reasonable prices to grade up auu improve his stock. Tho true mission of the breeder of thoroughbred stock is to furnish male animals to tho farmers at low prices, by the use of which the great mass of the common stock of the state may be cheaply, i'et greatly increased in val ue. By following this policy, "J. S." will soon find himself possessed of a fine herd of high bred grade short horns, which would notouly be much more valuable than his common cows but which would also gladden his soul by their many fine poinU and beauty.?.

Color, black, with white on feet, faoe, and tip of tail, and an occasional splash of white on the arm. While a small spot of white on some other part of the body does not argue any impurity of blood, yet it is to be discovered, to the end, that uniformity of color may be attained by breeders. White upon one ear, or a brouze or copper spot on some part of the body argues no impurity, but rather a re-appearing of original col ors.

Minne apolis Farmer's Union. Cracked Hands Cured. 2Jone but the laboring man, who has suffered misery while using an ax or pounding with other tools, can rightly appreciate this article. For years, when young, I suffered at some seasons untold bitterness, caused by dry cracks on hands and fingers. I tried every so-called remedy I could hear of, but In vain ; and being ob liged then to labor each successive day for an honest livelihood, I was bound, as with an iron chain, to suoh sufferings as almost made life a bur den. At last a friend told me to put common copal varnish into the oraoks and it would cure them ; although my faith was verjT weak, I tried the pre scription, and, to my great joy, sure enough, In forty-eight hours my hands were as well as ever. It does not save from fresh craoks, but It nev er fails to entirely cure the old ones within two days. I keep a small bot tle of the varnish, with aBliverstand-j Ing In it, cost, 10 cents always han dy, and with its help my hands are nearly always well. For knowledge of this simple remedy I would not part for mauy dollars. I have given it to many others for many years, aud have never known of Its failure to ef fectually cure in all such cases. Cor. N. Y Tribune. Hydrophobia. While -we wish to repeat that there are very few cases of this disease eith er In men or dogs, and that many ap parent cases are nervous diseases, sometimes produced by the imagina tion, Btill we know that there is such a disease, which ha3 usually been pro nounced incurable. Therefore we publish below certain claimed reme dies, which have been collected by a friend, and that seem to be founded on sufficient evidence, but we cannot vouch for them. These are in addi tion to Dr. Townsend's pills mention ed in our last paper. Preventives. 1. Mr. Youatt, of England, treated more than four hun dred cases of persons who had been bitteu by mad dogs, with muriato of silver, aud not one had the disease. 2. Another physician treated many cases with muriaticacid with like suc cess. 3. Others uso nitrate of silver and nitric acid. With these the wound should be prompfly and thoroughly treated. 4. Two tablespoonfuls of fresh chlo ride of lime in powder, mixed in half pint of water. Keep tho wound con stantly bathed with it. This has proved effectual in France. 5. Wash with warm vinegar and water, and apply a few drops of muri atio acid. Afterwards poultice with bread and poppy leaves. G. Cures have been effected by a va por bath at 170 degrees. These should be repeated, and the person should be kept in a state of perspiration for some daj's. 7. The root of the white ash steeped strong and drank freely is also claim ed to be a cure.
