Somo thrco months ago, owing to vari
ous and repeated "attempts to destroy
Paradiso Hall by fiends in human slmpo,
ifamuol Shin asked leave in open inuot
jlingTtd protect tho hull by tut invontion
ofhis own. Leavo was granted, and
tho result was seen as tho jnftitor oponod
the plnco Saturday afternoon to make
roaily for the usual weekly meeting at
night. Mr. Shin's invontion consisted
of a pound of powder innocently stored
away in an old nail kog, and the keg
fdaecd where a stranger would use it to
ook through tho transom. A prosstiro
of two pounds on tho head of tho keg
would scratch a match and oxplodo t'ho
powder. Somo men would Iiavo grown
weary of waiting, but Samuel know Unit
if lie fished long enough ho was certain
to catch a whale.
Sometime during Thursday night a
porson whoso namo willnover boknowfn
unlocked tiio si root door with tho crank
of a eoirco mill and slid up-stairs with
murder in his thoughts. Perhaps he
expected to find Elder Tootn asleep up
there, and was prepared to dispatch
him without mercy, or he may havo
simply intondod' to damago tho hall
about $18,000 worth and thon go away
to secretly chuckle over his dastardly
work. Ho that as it may ho readied
the ante-room and paused for a moment
to cast a glance of contempt at the
sttiflcd oppossum over tho door leading
into tlio lodge. Thoro Btooif tho Inno
cent nail keg, and tho transom was
open.
Tho human hvcim probably cackled
with delight as ho saw the way pre
pared for him, but it was ids last capklo
on earth. As lie mounted tho 'kog
there was a dull 'explosion, which was
hoard by many people on the street and
supposed to' havo' boon caused by tho
blowing up of a lug down toward 'Lake
Eiio.
Wlion tho hall oponod Saturday even
ing Mr. Shin had all tho remains spread
out on top of Waydown Boboo's plug
hat. There was a button, seven hairs,
tlio hcol of a sock, a finger-nail, and a
part of a document boginning with:
"To ft. o Hon. tlio Common Conn--."
A hole in tlio roof through which
twenty-soven stars looked placidly down
on tho Hear Trap indicated tho ulterior
direction taken by tho balance of the
remains. Tho forco of tho explosion
"knocked the safe ovor and broke ono
hinge, and tho pictures on tlio walls
wore more or less damaged, but Cadav
er Smith camo forward and olVorod to
make good tlio damago out of Ids own
pocket.

Sending a Telegram.
Ono man readied along arm ovor tho
.little crowd clustered at 'the operator's
window and asked for a " blank tele
graphic form," explaining that ho
" wished to send a telegraphic dispatch
'to ids 'family." Now, when a man
.upeaks'of a telegraphic dispatch" 1
always wako up and look at aim. bo
causo tho cumbersome title is all at
utter variance with the spirit of tlio tolo
irranh. It's too lontr. Tlio uso of it
betrays tho man who has little uso for
tho tolegraph. The more ho uses tho
wire tho shorter his terms. Tho moro
nearly ho can conio to saying ' msg"
tho moro content ho is. And lie doesn't
call It a " telegraphic formj'V ho asks
for a "blank," black or red as tlio easo
maybe. And ho never "telegraphs"
anybody. Ho "wires" them. And ho
doesn't explain to tlio operator what ho
wants to do with tlio blank. Presuma
bly ho wants to writo a message. And
jis for tlio matters reforrcd to in that
" msg" and tlio party for whom it is in
tended, tlio operator will ktiow all that
lie wishes to know and sometimes
much more than you want him to know
soon onougu.
So I watched this passenger writo his
telegraphic dispatch." First ho asked
the operator: "What day of tho month
is thisP" There was notfiing unusual in
that. All men ask that. It is the opening
line in the regular formula of sending a
"msg." You may know what date It
is before entering tho olllco, you may
oven havo it impressed upon your mind
by having a note fall duo on that day,
but tho moment you poise your pencil
ovor the blank that ditto Hies from your
mind liko tlio toothache from a dentist's
stairway. So, when this man asked:
" What day of tho month is thisP" I
courteously answered him, as a covor to
approaching his position, but he did not
bollovo mo. Ho repeated his question
and mado the operator answer, Then
1 know ho was very new at It. Ho
spoiled threo blanks before ho got a
"tcleirratthlo tlispateh" written to suit
him. Hut oven that was not very un
common. A man always uses station
ery moro extravagantly lit another
man's olllco than ho does at homo.
Then ho wrote every word in the hotly
of tho dUpatvh very carefully anil ilU
tlnutly, but Noratnnled hurriedly over
tho aililftws as though everybody
know that as won as no tun,
and dashud oil his own sigua.
turo In a blind letter stylo, m
though his namo was as familiar to tho
operator as it was to his own family,
but oven this is not uncomntpn. A
man will writo Cunningham" 'so that
no , export under tho skies will tell
yyhdthor it was Covington, or (jarring
ton, or Cummagen, or Carronton, and
when tho operator points to it mid asks:
"What is tills?" tlio writer will ataro
at him itt blank amazement for a mo
ment, and then answer: Why, Hint's
my name!" "Well, yes, f know that,"
tho operator will say; "but what is your
namo?" Thon tho man will gasp for
breath and catch hold of tlio desk to
keep himself from falling, and finally
shout: " Why, Cunningham, of
course!!!" and look pityingly upon tho
operator, and thou glauco about tho
room with a pained, shocked expression,
as ono who should say: Gentlemen,
you may not bollovo it, and I do not
ultimo you, but heaven is my witness
hero is a man who does not know that
my namo is Cunningham!" Tills Is not
unusual. Any oporator will toll you that
ho has met Cunningham scores of Union
and lias mortally ollended him overy
timo by asking his namo. .
Well, my till I man with tho thick nock
got along a llttlo bettor than that when
ho handed the oporator tho following
explicit message:
Mas. Hauaii K. I'or.MNHiiKK, TUt.r.Afl Ci:n
tijii, Iowa. My Dour Wiro: I left tho city
enrly this niornlnir at tor outing Iiroukfust with

to dlHii)olnt you, but cannot holt) It with
love to mother and tho ohildion, f urn your
loving luiHlmiul,
llOUItlt If. Vor.T.lNSIIKK.
Tho, oporator read it, smiled, and
said: You can save considerable ox
penso and toll all that is really necessary,
1 presume, by shortening this message
down to ton words. Wo havo no wiro
directly into Dallas and will havo to
send this message part of tlio way ovor
another lino, which adds largely to tho
cost of transmission. Shall 1 shorten
this for you?" "No, (), no," tho man
with tlio shawl replied, "I'll fix it my
self. Ten words, you say P" " Yes, sir."
It was a Htunnoi for a fact, and tlio
liiiiii lionvnrl n. ilimmilriiin Rirli i,q lwt
proceeded to boil his " letter'" down to
ten words. Ho sighed again , after
reading it through onco or twico, and
then scratched out "Dallas Center
Iowa" as though overybody know
where ho lived. Then ho erased
"early" and drew his pen slpwly
through "breakfast with" and "in
temperance." Thon lie scratched over
"dinner with" and wont on to oraso
"and narrowly escaped." And so ho
went on through tlio dispatch. Occa
sionally he would hold it from him at
arm's length after making an erasure,
to got at tlio general ofl'oet. And at
last, after much scratching and erasing
anil with many sighs, ho canto to tho
window and said: "Hero is tlio tele
graphic dispatch to my wife. 1 havo
not been able to condense it into ton
words, and do not seo how it can bo
tlono without garbling tho sonso of tho
dispatch, but if you can do it, you would
obligo mo greatly, as L do not wisli to
incur any really "unnecessary expense."
Aim wiiu inai no iiauueu mo operator
the following expunged edition of his
original message:
Mas. Saiiaii It. Fot.MNHiir.n My Dour

and tho children. Your loving husband,
ltotiKii K. roi.t.i.ssiii'.r..
Tho oporator smiled onco more, and
in ids quick, nervous way that grows
out of his familiar association with tho
lightning, mado a few quick dashes
with Ids pencil, and without adding or
changing a letter in tlio original mes
sage, shriveled it down to its very sin
ows,'like this:
Saiiaii A. Foi.mnhiikii, Dallas Ckntiui,
I Iowa: l.olt city 'Hinorubnr; delayed by ueol-
uotit; alt riKhl; homo 'tuivoninjr.

" Thoro, that is all right," he said in
tho cheery, magnetic way those opera

twontv-livo cents if wo had our own wiro
into Dallas, sir: we'll havo ono next
spring, too; saves you soveral dollars,
snn
sir.
That's right,
thank you."" And
tho man went and sat down on a chair
by tlio stove ami stared at that operator
until tho rescuing train came along, as
though ho were a worker of miracles.
And when ho got off tlio train at tho
junction for Dallas 1 heard him whis
poring softly to himself: "Shfollnsbco
clish summing; notiiin smatter; homo
saftuoon." And 1 know that lie was
practising his iosson and had "caught

Why a Duel Was Not Fought.
Opposlto tho city resides Mr. J. M.
Harvey, a gentleman who has lived n
very a'dventurous life Emigrating from
a Northern or Wcstorn State moro
thnn thirty years ago, lie" camo to Now
Orloans, where he settled, marrying
into a very wealthy and prominent Cre
ole family. Previous to nis settlement
dn Louisiana Harvoy was engaged in
mo merchant service auu nan saueu on
several wlialiiuj voyages. Having mar
ried a Creole, Harvey strove to conform
to creolo ideas and usages, which were
quito opposlto and repugnant to his old
notions and foelings. Tlio transition
was certainly a very violent one, from
an old skipper, whoso tastes had been
acquired aboard a Nantuckot whaler,
to tho highly rofincd rules and cus
toms which govern creolo sodoty in
Louisiana
At a gay party at a creolo neighbor's
ono ovening, where Harvey was pres
ent, a game of cards was proposed, and
the game was proceeding quite pleas
antly when an altercation aroso between
Harvey and a creolo gentleman of high
position and for many years an editor,
Albert Fabre. Tho dispute finally be
came very hot, winding up in words ol
insult from Fabro to Harvey and in a
knock-down from tho heavy fist of the
latter, the blow inllictin a very dark
"black-oyo" upon tlio unfortunate Cre
ole Tho next day Harvey was waited
upon by a friend of Fabre with a de
mand for satisfaction and a request to
bo referred to his seconds, with whom
the terms of an early meeting might be
arranged. Harvoy asked what this all
meant.. Tlio second replied that ho
wanted him to meet Mr. Fabre in lionor
jible combat, and thus atono for the blow
lie had given him.
"Utit," replied Harvey, "he grossly
insulted me and I returned the insult
with a blow. 1 think that makes us
oven, or, if wc ain't even, I'll pay up
tlio balance"
Tlio second was surprised to hear
such a response from a gentleman who
had married into a creolo family, and,
as a mutual friend, warned Harvey that
if lie persisted in this view of the' affair
in would bo tabooed by all his wife's
relatives. Tlio suggestion somewhat
alarmed Harvoy, and lie asked his vis
itor what would be tho terms of the
proposed combat.
Tho second, brightening up at tho suc
cess of his appeal to " the better feel
ings" of Harvoy and at the prospect ol
a fivoly affair, quickly responded: "Oh,
of course, being the challenged party,
you havo tho choice ot weapons. '
This announcement was a jrreat relief
to Harvey, who know Fabro to bo an
experienced duelist, skilled with the
pistol and rapier. Ho thoroforo asked,
with an air of great simplicity, what
word tho weapons usually employed by
gentlemen on such occasions.
"Pistols, swords, rifles, shot-guns, or
any dangerous weapon in which you
may bo skilled."
"I understand you," Harvoy replied,
"and my weapons are harpoons hick
ory handles, ton feet in length; distance
twenty feet aparjt. I have a braco oi
them, from which your friend can take
fiis choice"
Tlio creolo was astounded, shocked
anil puzzled; still more horrified was he
when Harvoy showod him ono of these
weapons, which had seen good service
on the Pacific.
"Why," he exclaimed, "do you
think my friend is a fish to bo struck by
such a tool a-s this?"
"Fish or no lisii," Harvey replied,
" that is mv weapon. Your friend is
quite as skillful in handling sword oi
pistol as I am with the harpoon. When
1 challenge him, lie will havo the choice
of weapons, and now 1 claim tlio right,
as tho challenged party, to choose the
only ono which 1 tool I can uso with
skill and effect."
"Hut, sir, your proposition is bizarre
and ridiculous, and will bring contempt
on all who tire engaged in it. This is a
serious affair, sir, and I expect you to
treat it seriously."
"You'll find harpoons serious
enough," replied Harvoy, at tho same
time going through the harpoon exer
cise as practised on whaling ships.
Tlio indignant creolo retired in ex
treme disgust. And the next day every
body in tlio city knew of this spoiled
duel. It may indicate tho radical dif
ference of ideas of tlio two races that
whilo Fabro's creolo frionds reported
tho incident as one which rollcctcu great
disgrace on Harvey, tlio Amoricans
laughed over it most heartily as a rich
joko and a fair commentary upon tlio
absurdity of tho duello. Mao Orleans

How to Catch Frogs.
Tho Washington Star thus tells how
frogs nro caught in tho Potomac: Tho
manner of catching thorn is to drift
about at night in a skitV among tho
swamps which lino tho Potomac anil ita
crooks with a bull's-eye dark lantern.
When tho frogs begin their loud, gut
torul conversation with each other, tho
hunter edges up as near as possible to
his gamo and throws the intensely re
flected light from the bull's-eye direct
ly upon tho frog, which appears to havo
tlio oiled of completely paralyzing him.
Onco tho light strikes tnem thoy r.ro
immovable, and will stitlbr tlionisolvos
to be bagged without a murmur. One
oxport stated to a Star reporter that ho
took a dozen from olVono oltl rotten log
in lumtiiic Crock, but a nig moccasin
snake struck out for him, and in getting
away ho lost nine of them. The frogs
aro particularly plump this year, anil

JOHN HODGE, Sec'y-
DR. JOHN BULL'S
Sniffs Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER and AGUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.
The proprietor of this colebratod medicine
justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ovor ofFerod to the publio for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT euro
of Aguo and Fever, or Chillsnd Fever, wheth
er of short or long standing, Ho refers to tho
ontiro Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to tho truth of tho assertion
thatin no caso what ovor will it fail to care if
tho directions aro strictly followed and carried
out, In a great many cases a single doio has
been sufficient for a euro, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottlo, with a per
fect restoration of the genoral health. It is,
howovor, prudent, and in overy case moro cer
tain to cure, if Its use is continued in smaller
doses for a weok or two aftor tho diseaso has
been checkod, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases, Usually this medicine
will not requiro any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should tho patient, however, re
quire a cathartic medicine, after having taken
,three or four doses of the Tonlo, a singlo dose
Of BULL'S VEOETABLE VAMILY PILLS
will bo sufficient.
