Conceit.
There is nothing more amusing tc
people who know, than the pretension
and conceit of those who only think '
they know. A long time ago. when j
there were some slaves even in New En j
gland, one of the celebrities of E:is? j
"Windsor, Conn., was "Doctor Primus." i
a large, fine-looking negro. He had '
been the slave of a distinguished physi- ;
cian. Dr. Wolcott, who resided m |
Windsor, on the west side of the Con- [
necticut River.
Primus was employed by his master
to prepare medicines and to attend him
in his visits from house to house- He
proved himself to be so able and so
faithful that the doctor, in gratitude for
his services, gave him his freedom.
The negro's attendance on his master
and his experience in mixing drugs had
given him a little medical knowledge,
which he determined to turn to his own
account As soon as he became a free
man, he moved over to the other side of
the river, and, announcing himself as
"Doctor Primus," laid in a small stock
of drugs, and waited for patients. '
They came, for Primus was respected,
and there was no other physician in
the village. As business grew, Primus's
self-esteem increased.
One dav. he was sent for to visit a
3ick child in Poquonnock, on the west
side of the river and beyond where his
old master lived. He went, and on his
return called upon l)r. Wolcott, who
gave him a hearty reception, and a>.ked
what business had brought him across
the river.
44Oh," answered Primus, a little inflated,
"I was sent for to see the child ol
our old neighbor at Poquonnock; but I
told the mother that there was nothing
very serious the matter, and that she
need not have sent so far for a physician;
that you would have answered jus',
as well.''''?Youth's Companion.

on, "fortunately for us, the king, who

to be. in a particularly good humor
on this occasion. He circulated aroun tl
the room in the most informal manner,
so much so that at one time I quiie forgot
his presence, and in the midst of a
wiid galop with one of my young middies

most disrespectful manner as he was
crossing the room. However, he only
smiled and said: Kxo on; that's the way

Henry Irving and the Prinoe of
Wales.
Not long ago the Prince of Walesent
Mr. Henry Irving, th actor, a
note, through his secretary, notifying
him that his royal highness would
oreakfast with him at a day and hour
specified. Accompanying this notification
was a list of persons Mi*. Irving
was to invite to meet the prince. At
UUV/C UUI^ ftuivt Oi^umv^u WUV
which this evidence of the royal favor
had given him and begged permission
to add two guests, whom he named, to
those named by the prince.- The answer
- was a prompt negativa Mr.
Irving could only invite to his own
brealdast; in his own house, the persons
whose names had been furnished him by
his self-invited sraesL Then Mr. Irving
wrote again, lie besought the roy:5
clemency. He ventured to reason the
case. He said that when he was in
America he had received signal kindness
and hospitality from the individuals
mentioned; that they had just arrived
in London, and that he knew" not
how to explain their exclusion to them
if they were to be excluded from such
rsfrtsinn. Then his vova] highness
relented and graciously consented that
Mr. Irving might ask his two American
friends to his own table.
This is a perfectly true story and one
entirely characteristic of the social system
of England. If the English like it
that is their affair. If there are Americans
who like it that is their affair.?

MAX AND HIS SHOES.
How much a man is like his shoes!
For instance, both a soul may lose,
Both have been tanned; both are made tight
By cobblers; both get lefl and right;
Both need a mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need heeling, oft are sold,
And both in time will turn to mold.
""With shoes the last is'first; with men
The first shall be the last, and when
The shoes wear out, they're mended new;
wnen men wear out, tney re men dead, too!
They both are trod upon, and both
"Will tread on others, nothing loth;
Both have their ties, and both incline,
When polished, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. Now would you choose
To be a man or be his shoes?

Where Genera! Sheridan was Born.
The Chicago Times thinks the following
telegrams appear to explain themselves:
County Cavan, Parish Kiltnbran-,
Ireland, February 17.?Philip H. Sheridan
was born in this county, near the town of
Virginia. There is no doubt about this.
Mr. Patrick E. Sheridan, his uncle, remembers
the event well.
Somerset, O.. February 17.?General
Sheridan's mother, who lives here, says
Phil was born in Somerset. She is sure
oho ic nnt mistaken ahrmf. t.his
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, February
17.?General Sheridan's aunt, Mrs. Cristy,
who came here with Captain Cook, says
the general was born in Wrtk, Wales. She
was present at the time, and knows what
she is talking about.
London, England, February 17.?Allan
Quartermain, a half-brother of General
Sheridan, says he remembers well when
Phil was born. He is very sure it was just
before his first journey to King Solomon's
mines, iur. v^uarteruiata is wunug 10 maiie
affidavit that General Sheridan was born in
Kukuanaland.
Atlanta, Ga., February 17?Joel
Chandler Harris says he and Henry W.
Grady are positive that General Phil Sheridan
was born on the Piedmont fair
grounds, near this city.# Mr. Harris says
he remembers it particularly by the circumstancc
that Mrs. Sheridan, the general's
mother, was at the tim? visiting friends in
New York State.
St. Paul, MiDn., February 17.?Frank
A. Carle, of the Pioneer Press, says General
SBeridan was born in the ice nalace in
this city. Mr. Carle is su re he cannot be
mistaken, because, as he says, when he
called on the illustrious soldier soon after
his birth, he noticed particularly that he
did not wear hisshouldei straps, and spoke
to him about it.
"Washington, February 17.?General
Sheridan says he was born in Albany, New
York.
Judgea Drawing Straws.
Shocking as it may seen, the judges of
the supreme court of Florida not only
gamble, but they some times put up the
office of chief justice as a stake. Iu fact,
the constitution of the State requires them
to do it. This is -what the Tallahassean
says: "The idea of three learned and dignified
supreme court judges drawing straws
to determine which shall exercise the functions
of chief justice is so jidiculous, un
dignified, and absolutely foreign to every
principle of intelligent and civilized government
that we can hardly realize that the
constitution o/ the fairest State in the Union
contains a clause making such a spectacle
necessary. The member who introduced
this clause into our constitution ought to
go off and bump his head against a post
for a solid hour every morning during the
remainder of his natural life.'*'
Mr. Corcoran's "Will.
Washington, D. C., February 29.?
The will of the late W. W. Corcoran was
offered for probate at noon to-day. The
greater portion of the estate, which is
valued at ?3,000,000, is bequeathed to
his three grandchildren?George P.,
Louise M. and Wm. C. Eustis, to be held
in trust for them for ten years. Several
legacies of ?4,000 and ?5,000 are left to
other relations, and fiirnflflx amounts to
various -orphan asylums in the District.
The sum of $100,000 is to the Corcoran
Art Gallery, the will stating that $1,500,000
had already been given to that institution.
Fifty thousand dollars is left
to the Louise Home, $500,000 having
already been devoted to it.

I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely walk,
and was in pain nearly all of thetime. At night
I could not sleep for the excruciating Pain. ,
The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged,
and I feared amputation would be necessary.
After trying many different patent
mcdicines claiming to cure rheumatism and
other complaints, I was almost discouraged
until about two weeks ago, when I had to give
up business." Mr. "SV. J. "Willingham, of your

of your modicinc and assured me of his confidence
in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once

A Prosperous Mule Trade.
An Atlanta letter to the Macon Telegraph
says: The mule trade in Atlanta has been
exceptionally large this year, and all the
sale and feed stableshave done an immense
business. Their proprietors say that the
trade this year in Atlanta was almost
double what it was last season. South I
Carolina has been a strong market and
thousands of head of good mules have been
shipped to that State. It is said that the
good crops made in South Carolina last <
year had the effect of creating a demand '
for more mules and of the best that can be *
had. A day or two ago a carload of mules
was shipped to Newberry, S. C., that I
brought on this market $180 per head, *
which is about the highest price paid for a I
carload of mules this season. The drovers ?
md stablemen say that the farmers of i
Georgia and South Carolina have bought c
itock with such freedom as to indicate f lint v

could afford, and they tended on her for

Messrs. Sanford, Chamberland & Co., recommended

For a number of years I have suffered untold
agony from the effects of blood poison- I A
had my case treated by several prominentphy- ^

resorted to all sorts of patent medicines, spend- - ,
ing a large amount of money, but yet getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been affected by B. B. S,
and I commenced taking- it merely as an experiment,
having but little faith in the results.
