One <U», after deep meditation, the
prince oftOrmnge remarked to Bentinck;
"To offiret the ravages of strong drink
the human system resorts to various ra-
■istances yielding versatile resalta.
This lemark, although it embodies no
particularly philosophy, either inductive
syllogistic er reconsturtive, has caused
in :ch comuftnt.
It is true that there is a great differ-
ence in men, concerning the peuer
resistance against the influerce of strong
drink, and although no man wholly es-
capes, yet some men while struggling
under the effect of liquor, can complete-
ly deceive a beholder. There is Col.
At!actus Pindergiiss, for instance,
you did not know ho was drunk you
would not thick he bad been drinking.
He has a way of standing on the tiptoe
of such politeness, a way of saying such
pleasant and appropriate things, that his
intoxication is hidden under a bushel of
. agreeahleness.
The other day Mr. Martinhead went
home with the colonel. The colonel, his
wife and Mr. Martinhead were sitting in
the parlor when Miss Bailie Pummel,
an old maid who had entered her 3Bth
volume, called. The colonel presented
bis friend,and,satisfied with the succasa
of bia sober pretense, he leaned back and
smiled. Then he began lo think about
something and the thought that his two
viaitois had not been presented, occurred
to him.
“Ah, Miss Pummel, allow me to intro-
duce my friend Mr. Mariinhead."
“Wo have met,’’ replied Miss Pummel.
“Ah, I didn't know that you were
acquainted.
The colonel’s wife cleared her throat
with a sharp rasp of irritation. The col-
onel continued: “I have thought for
some time that I would like for you to
become acquainted, hut it never occurred
to me that ) ou were old friends."
“Colonel, let me see y. u a moment,’’
said Mrs. Pimlergraas, drawing her hus-
band into an adjoining room.
“What’s the waller with you?” she
asked.
“Nothing."
"Nothing, the mischief. You are
drank."
"Drunk,” he repeated contemptuously.
"Oh, of course. A man just gets drunk
on the atmosphere.”
Then assuming an air of innocence tlio
colonel went on: “Has it come to this?
Do you want to insult me? What have
I done?”
“Why, just look how yon acted about
introducing—’’
“Oh, I see,” said the colonel, with a
brightening change of countenance. “It
was my fault—a mere matter of forge
ftaincss.”
Then, stepping into the parlor, the
colonel said: ‘Miss Pummel, alow
narcotic nuts.
In Vick’s Floral Magsiine we read of
a flower which creates laughter. H
grows in Arabia | the flowers are efa
bright yellow and the sped resembles
•mall black Iruiih. These are dried by
the natlvre and pulveriaed, and it is said
that small doses make a person Itehsve
like a circus clown or s madman, for he
will dancet sing anil laugh most boister-
omfly, and carry on in a ridiculous way
for about an hour. The stage of excite-
ment is followed by exhaustion and
sleep.
This reminds us of an experiment wo
made many years ago. We had seen
Prof. James R. Buchanan experimenting
with pulveriaed herbs by placing them
In the paleis of the hands of a class of
medical students. While they satins
sort of expectant mood, waiting for
something to turn up and holding various
powdered herbs in closed fists, every
now and then some of them would toll
of the symptoms which were being pro-
duced upon him. It was to us then s
new and surprising revelation that med
icines could thus act without being taken
into the stomach, and wc are not yet
fully satisfied as to the way they do act
under such uirciimstanoes. But having
seen Prof. Buchanan’s experiments we
were led to try it ourselves on a couple
ofbovs ab nil seventeen years of sue.
Powdered Cannabis Indlca from the
tame plant which gives hasheesh, a nar-
cotic used by Hie natives of India, was
placed in one hand of each of the boys,
whiiethey sat quietly waiting to see
what woold turn up. One of them soon
commenced to tittir and then to laugh
Iioisterously, and soon he became so
hilarious with excitement that we
thought best to take the drug away from
him. He soon soliered down, /hiring
the period of excitement we tried to get
him to say why he was carrying on in
such away, but he wns utterly unable to
rive any explanation for it other than
le simply folt that way. The other boy
qpietly nodded off to sleep in his chair.
'ibis experiment illustrates two impor-
tant things l first that medicine can exort
an action in this curious manner, nu<l
second, that a medicine will act tliffor-
me to proaent Mr. M.rtinhead ”
“Miss Pummel and I are acquainted,”
replied Mr. Martinhead.
‘ That so? Why. let me assure you
that 1 didn’t know it. introducing you

went back into the parlor, where lie pro-
ceeded to make himself agreeable and to

“Ho didn’t go to school to me," snap-

One sets, I fancy a, fair view ot an

crowJs are found daily. And here one
notes two things in particular the soft,
blooming beauty of the young Knglitli
girl’s complexion and her lack of taste
in the matter of dress. A girl of the
middle class was at the theatre last night

A few years ago .In the (village of Ar
monk, N. T., lived Melvin Gales, a young
man ef twenty-four years, tne only son of
the village storekeeper. Melvin was not
only an exemplary young man, but a shin-
ing light in the community, being n lay of-
ficial in the cliureh and a singer In the
aheir. Melvin was also a teetotaler, and
not without ability aa an amateur preacher.
For occupation Melvin assisted hla father
in the atora and helped him to farm a few
acres outside of Annonk. Among the cus-
tomers at the store was Phoebe Fluellen,
aged twenty-two, tlie only elilld and house-
keeper of a well-to-do farmer. In a little
time the future of tho youug pair became
the subject of good-natured gossip. Ar-
rnonk was soon too small for Melvin's en-
ergy and capital, and he removed to the
comparatively busy and thriving town of
Mount KIbco. Here he opened a general
store, and finding his prospects good, re-
turned to Armonk for a few days and then
went back with l’limbe Fluellen as his wife
For over two years i their life was one of
placid happiness.
About this time there appeared upon the
scene a man who had been well acquainted
with Vfe'vln. He had been away from the
village for some time, and returned from
tlie South with a beautiful woman whom
he represented as his wife. The oouple
called in at the store and remained some
time. A few days after (this visit the lady
again appeared at the store, but alone, and
announced that her husband had returned
to New York, and that she was to spend a
month by herself In Mount Klsco. From
that moment, if not from the date of the
previous visit, all happiness went out of
the little home of tho Galea. Melvin

and his wife shed tears for almost the first

vice of Ms neighbors and friends. He be-
came the woman’s shadow. They passed
long evenings together In tho country an 1
lengthened their nights by hours stolen
from the ninrnt'ig in the solitude of th

ly left Mount Klsco and PhiBbc hoped that
her husband's heart would soon come back
to her.
One morning he received a letter with a

vela Vilnius Towns.
An Kplsoopal minister who arrived in
this city a few days ago from Nevada,
where he has been doing missionary
work for several years, tails some curious
stories of people auil tilings in that
counP v He s|s-nt a fiortiou of his time
in Virginia City, and he* to look Pi the
people for his support. Once a week lie
wont am ng the business men for con-
tributions. lie took in tlie ssh-on • and
gambling shone, os well as tlie hanks
and stort s. Contributions were general-
ly on a liberal si-ale, as I lie (ample, though
not (lartieulsriy religious, thought well
of the cause and vowed, one and all.
tiiat they would not Iqf the preacher
suffer. Uu almost every round lie re-
ceived a number of “is.ker chips” worth
from $1 pi $5. These he would take to
the liauk, where they wore readily
cashed.
Among the saloons keepers was a
perfect Hercules in stature ami strength.
He was u man ol violent temper and
savage disposition, and had killed his
man. Ho was therefore generally feared.
This man was pradisully Imas of Ihe
town. He sent the preacher word that
he wanted to see him at his saloon. The
preacher went; and was informed th.i
he could get from $5 to $10 a w eek by
calling at the saloon for it, and that it
would lie taken as an insult if lie re-
fused. Tbe proposition was promptly
accepted, anil thereafter, as long as the
preacher remained in town, lie had no
better fri-md <-r more liberal contributor
than tho burly saloon keeper. On mic
invasion, while in the saloon to receive
his w-ekly stipend, another minister
entered and presented his claims for as-
sistance. Tiie saloon mail refused to
give him am thing saving; “What arc
you doing in town, anyhow? I sii|i|k«m-
you want to start an opposition church
or something,and get up n row among
us Christians, i’ll tell y,m why I won't
give any money. You see ibis mm
here? tie's a preacher, too, I've just
given him $ll). We know aouc-thim.-
about him He lias u bishop is-liiis<l him.
If ho don’t walk the chalk, I’ll just write
to the bishop and have the preachei
bounced. I have enough influence to do
it. You have no bishop and can do us
yon please.”
The informant says it was his custom
while in Virginia City to hold religious
services in the saloons and gambling
liens, lie would go in Sunday morning
and say : "Well. Tiovs, it's about time lo
close up. I want to hold meeting here.
Have you any objections?” They never
objected, ana, at a general thing, eon-
ducted themselves with the utmost pro-
m'etv during divine service. If one of
them ventured to break over the line
of decorum, the others w ould compel
him to lichavu himself nr pul him out.
On funeral occasions, which were fre-
quent, the undertaker, who always
managed tin- job, would r-quire the
preacher to ride on the hearse, lie being
considered the “next in importance to
