TRICHIIIASII.
It is not until within 9 comparatively few
years that this disease has attracted atten-
tion, although we have every reason to be-
lieve it has existed unrecognized them time
immemorinl. It is caused, as we are all
now aware, by the infection of the muscular
system by a minute parasite called the 1H-
clu'na Spirals? ‘ which gains access to the
economy through the medium of uncooked
ham and sausages made from pork contain-
ing them.
This parasite, which is truly a microscop-
ic animal— is only oneghirfi to one-half line
in length and about ougfifty-second of a line
in thickness, and is alwpys found coiled up
in a little sack or cyst firmly imbedded in
the muscular substance.
For a considerable length. of time, the
Natural History of these creatures was
poorly understood, and the manner in which
they gained access to the muscles, after be-
ing taken into the stomach, a mystery; but-
during the years 1856 mid 1857, Mr. Leuck-
.art, a German Pathologist, by a series of
interesting'experiments upon the lower ani—'
male, gathered many important facts con-
cerning them. . *
He administered portions of infected meat'
to rabbits and found that when the trichiniei
reached the stomach they were liberated
from their cysts. and at once commeneee in-
creasing in size and numbers. The old ones
—that is those taken with the meat—dying
ofi‘ in a. few days, and: fire young boring
their way through the infestinil walls dis-
persing in every direction throughout the
bodyg—the process beingottended'with more
or less constitutional disturbance as the
trichiuse were in large or diminished quanti-
ties. After they reached the .muscles ~they
domiciled there, an exudation was thrown
out around them, a cyst was formed, and
in a short time they presented the some up
pear-once as those taken into the stomach in
the infected meat. ’
Now this is the “ sum and substance" of
the whole matter, andafiis equally true as
regards the human ' subject, for all of these
changes in the history of the animal have
been repeatedly observed in man. The
symptoms of this «no.» arequite charac-’
teristic, and vary in severity according as
few or many Levelling“! swallowed, as well-
as in proportion to numb? of the progeny,
and thenitent of their migrations. It Hall:
ally commences with loss of appetite, and
general malaise, followed by nausea, pros-
tration, dial-rhino,- and painful stiffness with
swelling of muscles of arms and legs. In
some instances the irritation of the intestines
is very great, and the greater it isf’by the
way, the more favorable the prognosis as a
general rule; for violent and frequent evac-
uations seldom fail to discharge the greater
portion of the trichinm from the body. If
the irritation be not very marked, time is
allowed for the young trichinm to penetrate
the intestinal walls, and enter the muscular
tissus, which takes place usually about the
end of the first or second week. '
This is the most dangerous period—the
passage of the worms into the muscular tis-
sue and the changes ’ taking place then:
creating violent constitutional disturbance
which usually results in the patient’s death:
If this is safely passed through with, and
the parasite gets eucysted, the pationt’l con-
dition begins to improve, the skin becomes
cool and moist, the muscles lose their sore-
ness, the general typhoid state which marks
the disease subsides, and everything passes
on as usual. The trichium, after they be-
come encysted, remain on the muscles for
the remainder of the patient’s life. '
The chief epidemics of this disease ' e
occurred in Germany, but we have not es~
coped in this country, nor can we claim that
our hogs areth infected; ou the contrary,
it has been found by investigation in Chi-‘
cage, that of all the pigs brought to market
in that city, one in fifty has the iriohiute in
their muscles. This shows that we are all
in danger of becoming infected by the use
of pork, unless measures are taken in pre-
paring lhe meat to destroy the vitality of the
worms. Smoking arid suiting will do this
efi‘ectually,—only thorough cooking can be
relied on as a safe-guard, It is remarkable
that most of the cases of trichtniaais in this
country have occurred among the Germans.
This is because they learn the habit, not
otherwise common here, of eating ham,
sausages, and even sometimes fresh pork
nearly or quite in the uncooked state.
Now unless the flesh of pigs be thoroughly
cooked it might as well be taken'raw as far
as immunity from trichiniasis is concerned,
for if every portion of it be not raised to a
temperature of 212 degrees, the parasites are
not killed. Bear in mind, therefore, this
fact, and before putting between your lips a
piece of ham, pork or sausage, see that it,
has been subjected to a thorough cooking
process. '
These are the chief points of importance-
in regard to this disease. It is certainly fa-
tal enough, frequent enough, and revolting
enough to induce ,us to take all possible
measures in preventing it, and I think noth-
ing is sufficient for this but a thorough per-
sonal examination of‘ever'y piece of bacon,
ham, or sausages used as food, to see that
every part of it has been prepared as thor-
oughly as is necessary that it should be.

The Late Major Genet“ Thomas.
George Henry Thomas, Major General of
volunteers in the United States army, who
died suddenly of apoplexy, in San Francis-
co, California, on Monday night, March 28,
was born in Southampton County, Va., July
31, 1816. He was graduated at West Point
in 1840 and commissioned brevet second
lieutenant Third artillery, and joined his
regiment in Florida. For his services in the
Florida war he was breveited first lieuten-
ant in 1841. He served at Fort Brown du-
ring its bombardment by the Mexicans, won
the brevets of captain at Monterey and ma-
jor at Buena Vista, and in 1849 was again
sent to Florida to serve against the Indians.
From 1851 to 1854 he was instructor ‘of ar-
tillery and cavalry in the military academy.
He was then ordered to California, where
he commanded Fort Yuma till 1855. when
he was promoted to be major; of the Second
cavalry. From 1856 to 1860 he was on duty
in Texas, commanding his regiment for the
last three years of that time against the In-
diana 'and on exploring expeditious. In
1861 he was ordered to Carlisle barracks,
Pa., was promoted to be colonel of the Fifth
cavalry Maya, and ordered to report to
General Patterson, commanding the depart-
ment of Pennsylvania. He was then as-
signed io a brigade, and retained that . com-
mand until August, 26, 1861, when he was
appointed brigadior-geuoral of volunteers
and ordered to Kentucky. He commanded
at the battle of Mill Spring, January 18,
when the Confederates were completely de-
feated. His division was then ordered to
Nashville, where it arrived March 1, and as
soon as supplies could be obtained marched
to Pittsburg‘Lunding, but being in the re-
serve did not arrive in time to take part in
«he battle of Shiloh. He was appointed
major-general of volunteers April 25, 1862,
and assigned to the command of the right
wing of the army of the Tennessee, under
General Halleck. The forces in the West
being subsequently re-orgauized, he was
transferred to to the department of the Ohio
(General Buell), and appointed commander,
in the field or all three corps embraced in
that department. On September 30, he was
ordered to supersede General Buell in the
chief command; but on the remonstrance.
of himself and other officers, that General
was for the time reinstated. He was placed
in command of the Army of the Cumber-
land October 19, 1868, and on the 25th was
made a brigadier general in the regular at.
my. While in command of the Army of
the Cumberland he opened his communica-
tions by the Tennessee river and Lookout
Valley; fought. the battle of Missionary
Ridge, November 23-2201, 1863; pursued
the enemy and fought the battle of Ringgold,
Georgia, November 26th, and reorganized
his army fi'om December 1, 1863, to May 2,
1864, after which he was in the invasion of
Georgia up to the 7th of September in com-
mand of the Army of the Cumberland
which was composed of the 4th, 14th and
20th army corps, and three cavalry divisions.
He was engaged in the active campaign in
Southern Tennessee and George in 1364, re-
sulting in the battles at Camille, Dallas,
Rouesaw Mountains, and other memorable
contests, and finally in the battle of Nash-
ville, December 15 aud 18, 1864, in which
Hood was routed with heavy loss. Con-
gress passed a formal resolution thanking
General Thomas and his troops for the gal'
lautry at Naseville, and the Tennessee leg-
islature gave him a gold medal. He was
made a major general in the arm, Decem-
ber 15, 1864. At the close of the war he
was in command of the military division of
the Tennessee, embracing the departments
of Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi, up to March 11, 1867, when
he was assigned to the command of the Third
Military District, embracing Georgia, Flori-
ds. and Alabama, and from which he was
relieved at his own request, in a few days ;
he was subsequently in command of the
Department of the Cumberland; anl finally
placed in command of the Department of
the Pacific, having his headquarters at San
Francisco.
RIGHT OF PASSAGE.
Once upon a time there came to New Or-
leans a. young Kentuckian, for the purpose of
learning the science of medicine and sur-
gery. He was tall and athletic, shrewd,
apt and intelligent, with a little sprinkle
of waggishness. He was inducted into
the Charity Hospital, and had a room
in the third story as a student. On enter-
ing into his new quarters he was introduced
to a young French gentleman, occupying
the from room also as a student. The
young Frenchman, it seems, was vere
frank in his manners—courteous, yet cold—
and he thus addressed his new compas;
iOn :
“Sir, I am indeed pleaael to see you, and
hope that we may prove mutually agree.
able; but in' order that this may be the
case, I will inform you that I have had
several former room mates, with none of
whom could I ever agree ; we could never
pursue our studies ‘together. This room
contains two beds; as the oldest occupant:
I claim the bed nearest the window.”
The Kentuckian consented.
“Now," said the Frenchman, “Ill draw
the ‘boundary line’ between our territories
and we shall each agree not - to encroach
upon the other’s rights,” and taking a
piece of chalk from his pocket, he made
the mark of division ?midway from one
side of the room to the other. “Sir,” he
added, “I hope you have no objection to the
treaty."
“None in the world, sir,” answered the
stranger,"‘l am perfectly satisfied with it.”
He then sent down for his baggage, and
both sludenta'sat down with their books.
The Frenchman was soon deeply en-
gaged; while ‘BOld Kentuck" was wash-
ing himself and thinking what a singular
geniulhe must be apd how he might “fix
him."
Things went on until dinner time came.
The bell was rung—the Frenchman popped
up, adjusted his cravat, brushed up his
part.
‘Sland sir i” said the strangenauddenly,
placing himself with his foe to the mark
directly before the French student. “if you
cross that line, by George you’re a dead-
man i"
The Frenchman stood pale with astonish.
ment. The Kentuckian moved not 9. mus-
cle of his face. Both remained in silence
for some moments, when the Frenchman
exclaimed-“Is it poiaible I did not reserve
the right of passage 1‘”
‘ “No sir indeed you did not; and you
pass this line at your peril,” _
“But how shall I get out of the room I”
“There is a window which you received
to yourself—you may use that; but you
pass not that—my door, which you gener-
ously left me. ”The poor Frenchman was
fairly caught. He was in a quandary, and
made all sorts of explanations and entrant-
ies. The Kentuckiau took compassion on
him, and thinking that going out of a third
story window wag not “what it’s cracked
up to be,” said to his new friend—“air in
order that we may be mutually agreeable, I'll
rub [that hateful chalk line and let you
s.”
The Frenchman politely thanked him,
and after the settlement of the “boundary
question” teby were the beat of friends.

THE IOBANTON TRAGEDY.
While the newspapers gloat daily over
the details of the last murder or seduction,
mere mention has been made of an incident
which occurred last week in Scranton,
Penn., and which seems to us to contain the
elements of the mest terrible tragedy. But
the story is so old and hackueyed—the trag-
edy almost as common as death itself. A
young man goes wandering about the coun-
try, the son of respectable and wealthy peo-
ple‘: well educated himself, a generous, af-
fectionate, good fellow, of whom no worse
harm can be said than that he was “a little
fast.” Jul at the age, too, when the broad
road of life has its fullest daylight upon it ;
when all chances of power, and helpfulness,
and love are waiting to be conquered by
the strong brain and ready hand. Just at
this age, this boy stops short, looking, it
would seem, with a catch steady coolness
at his own iblure, and finding that for him,
early as it is, there is no chance. The devil
of drink has its grasp on soul and body, and
is sucking the life from both. He tries his
own strength, and finds it too weak to shake
it off. Afraid to go home, ashamed to look
his fellow men longer in the face, he writes
a boyish, sorrowful good-by to father and
brothers, and then quietly puts a pistol to
his head and ends it all. There is some-
thing beyond the pathos of words to us in
the lads messages to his brothers, the other
boy: he had left at home. ‘ ‘
“Caution Willy, mother, not to follow in
my footsteps. Let me be buried only in a
plain box, and I do not wish to have any
but relatives at my funeral. Keep Henry
out of harm’s reach, as if he is not checked
he will be ruined also," He sends “it tho a-
nu kisses to little Julius and Clarence, and
till them I will never come to see them
again ; and tell Julius that he mustforget
me, as I am not Worthy of remembrance
from the meanest our living.” A common
story, as we have said. There is hardly a
household where it does not repeat itself;
where some boy—usually, too, the most
generous, impulsive, lovable of the group—
is not going along this lad’s downward road,
to die, perhaps, only by the slow suicide of
drink, but no lesssurely by his own hand.
There has been so much false reasoning
on both sides of the subject of temperance,
such intrmiuable chatter, bigotry, and fren-
zied adjuration, that it is beyond all other
questions worn out and distasteful. But
the deaths from drunkenness number no
fewer because fashion taboos the subject
Its fatal effect upon the mental power and
spiritual health of the country are no less
appalling. The evil is a. physical plain
matter of fact ; it is time that it was grap-
pled with in a plain physical way. It has
been the custom both in and out of the pul-
pit to represent intempernnce as a tempta-
tion of the devil, to be met and resisted by
a sinnuer. He is entieated to repent by the
terrors of earthly ruin and the eternal
death beyond the grave. His heartbroken
wife and starving eqildren are with justice
enough, perhaps, held up before his con.
science, which it is the custom to denounce
as scared. It is time that we looked through
the poor wretch’s eyes. Wife and children
are usually neither so hungry nor heartbro-
ken as he ; he surely sees the earthly rain
and eternal damnation with more agonized
soul than the man who preaches to him ;
yet he walks'deliberaiely down to hell for
a drilik of liquor which has long ceased in
all probabilty to yield. him any pleasure.
For what 7 What is the answer to this rid.
die ? Simply this : That the liquor has be-.
comes physical necessity ; that drunken-
ness, eight cases out of tea, is either on he-
reditary or acquired disease; as much as
'sorofula or scaylet-fever. Let us surely use
faith and prayer in the one case as in the
other, but let us meet physical ailments by
physical remedies. This fact is just begin-
ning to be understood by the medical world.
Two or three Asylums for inebriates are no-
ted for their success, :where it furnishes the
theory on which the treatment is based ;
but not until it is comprehended by the peo-
ple, by the parents or wives of drunkards,
can there be any effective opposition to the
evil. When a woman understands that her
child may be born with the inherited dis-
ease of Oinomania, which so affects his
stomach and nerves that the craving for
stimulants is morbid, and once indulged al-
most certainly fatal, she will use the same
rational means :to guord him against it as
she would against colds if he inherited con-
sumption ; and the boy himself, knowing
that liquor which may be innocuous to other
men is a physical poison to him, is for safer
than when taught to regard it as a tempta-
tion which only the weak mind yields to.
Drunkard: with whom the disease is not he-
reditary are, almost without exception, san-
guine, genial, warm-blooded men, for-whom
mentalexcitement is a necessity, and who§e
chance of cure, therefore, lies in the applied-
lieu of some healthy stimulant, some coun-
fer-irritant of the brain or emotions.
We only hint at the great reform needed
in the treatment i f this growing evil. The
day is, we trust, not long distant .' when it
will be as thoroughly understood as any
i»
whiskers and mustachioa, and assayed to do- .
other less mortal ailment, and the poor vic-
tims can seek for some sensible philosophic
means of cure, instead of turning to death.

The mantle of Charity
A missions of the American Sunday
School Union in Kansas attended a reach.
ing service held by a very strong aptist
brother “who did not see how a conscien-
tious Baptist and a Union Sunday School
missionary could agree.” The latter said,
“ Under the pantie qf charity.”
After another sermon in the afternoon of
the name do by a different preacher, the
missionary eliverod a Sunday school lec-
lure. A new church building is now erect-
ed there, and the conscientious Baptist is
the superintendent of the Sunday school,
and the other preacher is the pastor of the
church.
In Osaukie, an Eastern young lady, find-
ing no religious privileges, started a union
Sunday school with aixtv scholars—the first
ever organized in that vie inity. This led to
the starting of another. The union princi-
pleia the only one on which they could be
conducted. One school near Leavenworth,
has recently enjoyed a revival reaching _ev-
erv family. All the schools in that neigh-
bdrhood are flourishing. Kansas is ripe
for Sunday school missionary work. The
schools already started are doing a great
i amount of good.
THE DRESS MAKER'S STORY.
_..I
A competent and tasteful dressmaker told
me, not long ago, that she had an idea. her
experience in what were called the first
families of New York would surprise me,
and it did.
“I have been out, as dressmaker,” she
said, “for fifteen years. The ,first live I was
imposed upon in every imaginable man-
ner; but since that I have managed very
well. I got so at last that I knew how to
fix' the women who put me off fi‘om day to
day and week to week about my money—
I went to their husbands. Sometimes it
would make a fuss; but I could'nt afford to
work without compensation, and I was
bound to get it somehow. I tell you,
though, I have pitied some women terribly-
Many of them after contriviug all ways to
procure a nice dress, or cloak, or some ar-
ticle of wearing apparel, after having pinch-
ed here and there, and in some cases com-
pelled to actually lie in regard to household
expenses to procure necessary trimmings
the funds would be completely exhausted
before my work was finished, and no
ay. After a good many losses and heart
aches I finally adopted a plan which work-
ed very well. Whenever I went to a new
family, I informed the lady of the house
that my price was so much per day: and
to save trouble I insisted in every instance,
upon being paid each evening. I made up
mind that a woman who could not make
it convenient to pay for one day’s work
would naturally, find some difficulty in
settling for a dozen. “Goodness” she con.
tinned, as I ventured to remark that I
should suppose one could tell by appear-
ances and the acknowledgedsoeial position
of the families who employed her whether
they could be relied on or not, “not a bit
of it. Brown stone fronts, Wilton carpets,
full length mirrors, velvcls an‘d 'salius, are
no criteriona of honesty let me tell you.
Why” said she, “you know Ida—don’t,
you ?” mentioning a gentleman extensively
known in poltical and literary circles.
“Oh, yes ; well,” I replied.
“Then you know what kind of an estab-
lishment he keeps. Mrs—engaged -me——
or rather ri-quested my services for a
month. I stated my terms before I took
my things off. She laughed in my face.
“Why,” she said, “how ridiculous! I
should'nt suppose you would find any em-
ployment at all if you are as suspicious
'of every body as this.”
After a long talk I agreed to work for her
by the week—that is to receive my pay at
the end of each week. My breakfast at
this establishment consisted of two slices of
stale bread and a cup of coffee you could
see forty fathoms ie; at noon two more
slices» of bread, two potatoes, and some-
times a piece of corned beef or ham ; and
prayer and faith. The druukard is simply for supper what do you think—a bowl of
oat meal gruel and a couple of crackers.
My meals were served to me in the sewing
room. I had no means of knowing wheth-
er the family lived in this manner or not.
Well, the week came to an end at last, and
I waited for my lady to settle—having
made up my mind, after receiving my men-
ey. that I would inform her thatI should
not come again; and why. My stomach
was so faint before night that I was all of a
tremble. Seven o’clock and no one came
near me. I finally rang the bell and a
servant informed me that Mr. and Mrs-—
had gone to Staten Island to remain over
the Sabbath. Monday morning I was there
at the usual time. Mrs—arrived about
eight o.clock. She sailed into the sewing
room where I sat, with my bonnet and
shawl on.
“Why what is the matter, that you are
not at work ?” she asked.
You did not settle with me, as you
agreed, Saturday evening,” I replied; and
I am waiting for my money."
“0h, pshaw, l” she laughed, ”what-a par-
ticular body you are, to be sure. Why,
child, what do you think—that I mean to
cheat you; out of your honest wages ‘2”
“I don’t think anything about it,
Madame," Ianswered, beginning to grow
vexed with the cool impudenee of her
manner ; “I never speculate on the subject.
You agreed to pay me on Saturday evening
for my Work. You did not fulfil your con-
tract and now I hope you will see the ne-
cessity of attending to it at once.”
“Well, well,” she replied, “go on with
your work and I will make it all right
when Mr—comes home.”
“Now what could I do? If I refused to
comply the probabilities were that she
would never pay me a cent; and if I did
as she desired I might get my money—al-
though I coufess it‘looked exceedingly du-
bious. So I seated myself again at my
work, and went on with the old programme,
or rather, bill of fare—stale bread, potatoes
and oat-meal. Six o’clock arrived ; Madam
did not make her appearance. Madam, 1
was informed after ringing for a servant,
has been out for more than an hour, and
would not be back until late-somebody in
upper tendom having a reception.
“ There is nothing for you to do," she
continued, ‘but to go home,’ and it was a
bitter pill to swallow, I can tell you t for I
needed the money, on account of having a
sister down with the inflammatory rheuma-
tism and while I was out at work I was
compelled to hire some one to take care of
her. WhenI went home that night I had
not fifty cents in the world, I hadn’t a single
friend of whom I could borrow a dollar
A silver ladle—which was the only rem-
nant of past luxury, and which Ihad kept
through all reverses—I .hid under my
shawl, so that my sister needn't be the wis-
er for it, and marched to the nearest pawn-
broker’s shop. I received five dollars on
it, and a yellow ticket, which.made my
blodd run cold in my veins to look at,
The next day, I presented myself at the
door of Mr. , the husband of the, we-
man who failed to pay me. I had consider-
able difficulty in getting an audience.
“Well, young woman," said he, in an ab-
stract sort of manner, “what can I do for
you 2”
“I told him as clearly as possible
story of my grievances.”
“Humph.” he grunted, and then gave me
a quizzical, half gratified look which I
hardly understood.
“Mark my words new, young woman.
Yen will always find that your best and
truest friends are among the men; Women
never can be just and businesslike—it isn’t
in them.”
. “But they can be just‘” I ventured to re-_
mark. “Women can at least refuse to have
their work done when they see no way to
pay for it.”
“Tut, tut, child, you don’t know what you
are talking about. My wife had money
enough to settle your bill a dozen times
over, but she probably feared she should
come short on some “fixius ;” and the wrclch
laughed as if he had said a smart thing.
“Don't trust them, don’t trust them. I
have lived on very intimate terms wi b one
of the fair creatures for several years, and
can therefore speak from experience.”
“I pocketed the money and walked away,
leaving the strange man‘ muttering and
luughingas if he or somebody else had
doneavery smart thing. But I will tell
you one thing, and thatis the truth ;” and
the dress maker laid her work in her lap for
amoment, and looked him steadily in the
eye. “I never yet asked a man for money
which his wife owed mc—(and I have been
the
compelled to do it several] limes)—without
receiving the whole amount, and pleasantly
too.” ’
“Then I suppose," I, queried, “that you
must have decided that men are generally
more honest than women ?"
“Note bit of it,” she replied: ‘I think
that men, from long business practice, have
accustomed themselves to meet payments
promptly, understanding that this is one se-
cret of business, and they are ashamed not
to do so. Men. who have paid me money
owed by their wives, would ten to one, re-
fuse to let them have the amount, because
a man can cheat and abuse his wife, and
she will keep still about it, while an' outsider
would have no conipunctions about making
the matter known. That’s the truth in a
“nut slit-ll.” ‘
‘tht’s the Matter
:‘t-‘ose’:
Snyder kept a beer saloon some years ago
“over the Rhyne.” Snyder was a. ponder-
ous ’l‘euion of very irascible temper—“sud-
den and quick in quarrel”-—gel mud in a
minute. Nevertheless his saloon was a
great resoryfor the boys—partly because of
the excellence of his beer, and partly be-
cause they likod to ehafe “old Snyder," as
they called him; for although his bark was
terrible, experience had taught them that
he wouldn’t bite. '
One day Snyder was missing, and it was
explained by his “ frau,” who “jerkr- l" the
beer that day, that he had “ gone‘oul fishing
milder pays." The next (lay om- of the

“ W'hy, Snyder, what’s the mailer \-. ilh

“ I peen out fishing mit der poys,” replied
Snyder, laying his finger tenderly against
his proboscis, “the sun it pese hot like ash
der tifcl, uni I purus my nose. Nice nose
don’t it ?” And Snyder viewed it with a
look of comical sadness, in. the little mirror
back of his bar. It entered at once into the
head of the mischievous fellow in front of
the bar to play a joke upon' Snyder, so he
went out and collected half a dozen of his
comrades, with whom be arranged that they
should drop in at the saloon one after anoth-
er and ask Snyder, “What’s the matter
with that nose ?” to see how long he would
stand it. The man who put up'the job went
in first with a'companiou, and seating them-
selves at a table called for beer. Snyder
brought it to them, and the new comer ex-
claimed as he saw him: “ Snyder, what’s
the matter with your nose 5’”
“I yust tell your freint here I peen out
fishin’ mit der poys, not the sun he purut
’em—zwi lager—den cents—all right.”
Another boy rushes in. “Hallo, boys,
your’re ahead of me this time, ’sposc I’m in,
though. Here, Snyder, bring me a glass of
lager and a pret—(appears to catch a sudden
glimpse of Snydet’s nose, looks wondering-
1y a moment, and then bursts out laughing)
—lia l—ha l—hai Why, Snyder-ha l—liai
—what’s the matter with that nose?”
Snyder, of course, can’t see any fun in
having a burnt nose, or having it laughed
at, and he says, in a tone sternly emphatic:
“ I've peen out fishing mit der poys, nut
(18 sun it juse ash hot like ash der tifel, um
I purnt my nose; that ish all right.” I
Another tormenter comes in and insists on
“selling 'em up” for the whole house. “Sny-
der,” says he “ fill up the boys’ glasses, and
take a drink yourse—ho! ho! ho! ha 1
ha! ha i Snyder, wha—hai ha l—at‘s the
matter with that nose i”
Snyder’s brow darkens with wrath by this
time, and his voice grows deeper and
sterner—
“ I peen out fishin’ mit ter poys on do:
leedle Miami. The sun- pese hot like as hail,
not I purn my pugle. Now, that is more
vet I don’t got to say. Vot glad of peso-
ness? That isb all right; I purn my own
nose, don’t it ?” ..
“Burn your nese,—burn all the hair' off
your head, for what I care; you needn't get
mad about it." - ‘
It was evident that Snyder wouldn’t stand
more than one more tweak at that nose, for
he was trampiug about behind his bat and
growling like an exasperated old bear in his
cage. Another of his iormontors walks in.
Some one sings'out to him, “Have a glass
of beer, Billy ‘3" ,fi
“Don’t care about any beer,” says Bill,
“ but, Snyder, you may give me one of your
best ciga— Ha-a-a-l ha! ha! ha! ho! ho!

Why—why—Snyder—who—wha-—- ha-a-a‘a

Snyder was absolutely fearful to behold
by this time. His face was purple with
rage, all except his nose which glowed like
a ball of fire. Leaning his ponderous figure
for over the bar, and raising his arm aloft
to emphasize his words, be fairly roared:
“ I’ve peen out fishiu’ mit ter poys. The
sun it pese hot like as hail-temnation. I
purnt my nose. Now you no like dose nose,

A SCENE FOR THE PENCIL—A. missionary
of the American Sunday School Union,
traveling on horseback among the “ Crane
Creek Mountains," in BuncomberCounty,
North Carolina, to meet his Sunday appoint-
ment, pursuing his obscure, rough and rocky
way through the thick woods, was arrested
by the sound of distant singing. Following
it, he at length found a small log cabin,
through whose wide crevaees the sable faces
of men, women, and children were seen. A
class of fifteen or twenty children, ranged
against the wall, were spelling words of one
syllable, given out by the superintendent
from a Worn cepy of Webster’s Spelling
book; while 1110 old mensaud women, seated
in the midst on blocks or Split logs, leanctk
forward with gaping mouths, listening to
the youngsters lesson. But three out of
thirty con (1 read the Bible—Independent.
