Mulkittle's son, "Sampson was a strong man, wasn't he ?" ! b "Yes; Sampson was the strongest man n that ever lived?" s< "Tell me about him." . c "It was intended that Sampson should be rI the strongest man, and before he was born?" t: The bewildered expression on the child's is face arrested the minister in his narration, o "Before he was born ?" asked the boy. ii "Yes, before?that is, before he was found " in a hollow stum?" c "Just like little sister ?" j e "Yes; just before he was found an angel ! v appeared and foretold of his strength, saying o that no razor must touch his head." 11< "Was the angel atraid the razor would ! c cut him?" | h "No; the angel meant that his strength 11< lay in his hair, and that his hair must not h be cut off" I s "If I let ray hair grow long, can I lift a more than I can now ?" si "I don't know about that." a "Are women stronger than men ?" e ."No." r "But they've got longer hair?" r "Yes; they have longer hair." v "A woman couldn't whip you, could v she ?" h "No; not easily." fi "Was Sampson a Democrat?" v "I don't know." e "But why don't you know. I'd know if v I was as old as you. How many men was ti it that Sampsonkilled ?" p "One thousand." n "He was bad, wasn't he ?" 1 "No." s "But when a man kills another he's bad." o "But the Lord was with Sampson." 1 "But the Lord says you musn'tkill any- a body. Did Sampson go to heaven ?" ij "I suppose so." ii "He's the strongest angel there, ain't e he?" t "You are getting foolish again." a "But I wan't to know. Will you know f< Sampson when you get to heaven ?" v "I suppose so." r "But you won't fool around him, will s you? If he was to hit you he'd break your a wings, wouldn't he?" t "Go to your mother. The next time you c attempt to question me about the Bible I t shall whip you."? Wit and Wisdom. <j t Consulting Her Father.?Young Mr. j Ch. H. Isidore Coshinigin, of Harlem, was \ plainly embarrassed. For some minutes he s had rested uneasily in his chair, and Miss j Smith, of Ninth street, near second avenue, t upon whom he was calling, knew what was r coming?or thought she did?and her heart i Kiv?hc luoro qo fhp fir?kin<r nf a nlnck. , "Er?Miss Smith," he said, feverishly, c "could I?er?see your father for a moment t or two." ! "My father?" she repeated with a blush, % "certainly, Mr. Coshinigin," and excusing p herself, she swept from the parlor. Presently the old man came in, and, after j a short conversation with Mr. Coshinigin, s he stepped to the door and summoned his j daughter. s "It is getting late," said Mr. Coshinigin, whose face was radiant, "and I have a long ride before me, I think I will say good night. ? Will I have the pleasure of finding you at ] home on Wednesday evening, Miss Smith?" f Miss Smith blusningly assured him that r he would, and young Coshinigin was en s route to Harlem. r "Oh, papa!" she began, "did he?" and f then she stopped. s "You musj^sk no questions," said the old c man, and he smiled as he stroked his j daughter's hair fondly. "Mr. Coshinigin \ wished to see me in regard to a little matter j which, for the present, must remain a se- ^ cret." a "I know, papa," pleaded the girl, "but ? you might give me just a little hint of what it was?just a word, papa." 1 "Oh! well," he replied very indulgently, r "since you must know, Mr. Coshinigin t wanted to borrow five cents to get to Har- ^ lem with."?Sim. I ? ? ? rj B&~ Brow-beating Attorney?"Come mad- j am, you must reply with precision. I s question whether you understand the mean- 't ing of words. ; Witness?O yes, I do. c Attorney?Perhaps you only think so?a vanity which would be excusable. Give me ^ an example of precision in the choice of t words. c Witness?If I said you are a good lawyer x I would be speaking with precision ; but if I said that you are a gentleman? t Attorney?Well, what would that be? Witness?A downright prevarication, sir. Attorney?That is all. A Breach of Promise.?Attorney: J "Miss Someage, you are the plaintiff in this 8 suit for breach of promise, I believe? "Yes, sir,." 1 "And Mr. Squint, here, is the defend- N ant?" "Yes, sir." } "Well, Miss Someage, you may tell the 1 Court how and when he promised to make 8 you his wife." 1 "It was on the third of last September, ; sir. I went into his photograph gallery 1 and asked him if he would take me, and ^ he said he would." \ They Had Forgotten It.?"Say," > shouted a boy in front of the city hall the 1 other afternoon. ^ Something like fifty men came to a dead ^ halt. s "Say! your wife said I was to tell you not to forget to bring some tea!" continued the boy, in a louder voice. 1 Forty-five men wheeled, slapped their t leg ana grunted out: t "Hanged if I hadn't forgotten all about 1 it!"?Detroit Free Press. Of Course He Had to Keep a 1)og.? t "Mister, will you give me o cents?" "What for?" t "I want to buy a loaf of bread for my f starving family." * rJ "Certainly I will." 11 "Oh, thank you, sir. "Now, sir, if it; r isn't asking too much will you give me a a dime more?" ' j 1 "What's that for?" c "I want to buy some meat for my dog." j s t Waiting Wife?Why, Henry, how strangely you look and act. What in the e world is the matter ?" e Early Husband (angrily)?Nothing's the a matter with me. j s W. Wife?But there must be. Have you j s been drinking absinthe? * j E. Husband?Haven't been drinking any-' cl thing. I'm perfectly sober. ! a W. Wife (much relieved)?Ah! that's it. 11 I thought there was something very unusual : i about your looks and actions. I a ti&r Indigent Younc Man?"I would re- ! spectfully^ask your" daughter's hand in ^ marriage, sir." I c Rich Father (in indignant surprise)? j v "What! You want to marry my (laugh-1; ter?" Indigent Young Man (somewhat flurri- j ed)?"Y-yes, sir. W-why not? You don't [ know anything wrong with her, do you?" j j. : f; Jgy Mamie?"Howcan Lucille marry that old fossil, Closelist ? What if he is so rich ?" I j Sadie?"Did you know that he has heart-; A disease so badly that the slightest shock is ! ? liable to prove fatal ?" ! Mamie?"Ah, that's it." ; t Sadie?"Yes, and Lucille thinks she will < n be able to shock him.? The Rambler. ( JST" Judge?"Prisoner at the bar, you are I charged with wilful murder. Are you guil- , ty or uot guilty?" Prisoner?"Judge, (J what's the use of putting it that way ? As > . you put it, it's a difficult question to decide. J1 S'posin' we simplify the matter by goin' in j for a disagreement of the jury."? Boston \ Transcript. * - I "What was the trouble at church this s morning?" inquired one Dakota citizen of J another. "I understand there was a row." s "Oh, it didn't amount to anything. Some c of the members in the back pews threaten- c ed to shoot the minister unless he spoke | a louder. That was all." . Clerk (to president of railroad) "I say I j that a brakeman of the 3:4o freight was a struck and killed by bridge No. 04 yester-1 y day afternoon." President (abstractedly) i "Yes, I understand; was the bridge badly t damaged?" t IHbtcUattcons ?eding. j SLAUGHTERING HOGS. ] At an extensive stock yard in Chicago, the f usiness of killing and preparing meat for c market has certainly been reduced to a s cience, and at no other place is slaughtering p arried on with such rapidity and skill. 1 'he ordinary methods for slaughtering cat- I le and hogs'by farmers and small butchers, t 3 familiar to every one who knows anything f f couutry cr village life. In New England i a the olden lime, when the farmer had a r beef critter" or a few hogs to kill, it was I onsidered the best part of a day's work, a ven with theneighbors to help. Ilereitis t ery different. From the commencement t f the day's business until its close, an end- v ?ss stream of nogs is kept pouring up an in- a lined plane to the door of the packing- a ouse where they are wanted. As they en- r er, men stand in their midst with chains ci aving spring clasps at the ends. These are r prung upon one ofthe animal's hind legs in I H?n hrifr L-nnvvs: il !i sin.'lll j111^', anu uciuiv vnv nw0 !?..?/ ,, K, .., ? tationary engine has lifted him into the air 11 ntl he is squealing vigorously. The upper (f nd of the ."bain is attached to a pully which uns overhead on an iron railway, and car- J: ies the animal along toward the scalding at. On the way he passes the sticker, who, \ /ith one lunge of a long, sharp knife, ends : is life. Almost instantly he is dropped J rom the chain directly into the scalding at, whirled over a few times, and then liftd by hidden machinery at the bottom of the (. at up to a moving belt, which carries hi in award the scraping machine. Theprinci- , al and mechanism of this machine are al- f! lost identical with that of a corn sheller. devolving wheels with flexible scrapers are I o placed and bunched as to hit the surface ? f the hog on all sides at the same time. J 'he animal enters snout first and emerges s cleanly scraped of bristles as he could be [ f the work were done slowly by hand. He s ; then attached to another pulley and passd along to a skilled workman, who, with >hree strokes of the knife, disembowels the : nimal. A stream of water plays upon him ir a few seconds and then an elevated railray carries him off toward the cooling ' oom. The time of the whole process is con- J iderably less than four minutes, on an aver- 1 ge, each day and week and month. The ( wo men who are most skilled and who re- s eive the highest wages for their important ?ut disagreeable work, are the sticker and . lisemboweler. Very rarely do either of ' hese workmen miss their aim or stroke. 1 3ut it requires a cool head and a steady 1 land to do the work quickly and well at the J ] ame time. A steady procession of swing- j ng hogs, dead and dying, is kept passing hrough the room from morn till night and 10 blockade of freight is allowable. Not a , noment is lost, not a particle of strength is s vasted. There is no heavy lifting of dead ? arcasses from the beginning to the end of ] he room process. Machinery takes the , dace of human labor wherever it is possible ( md the work of nimble lingers ami sharp ( :nives rapidly completes the job. It is a ( irocess which inflicts the least amount of ( >ain and suffering upon the animal to be | laughtered, and one which never fails to , mpress the beholder with an enduring j ense of astonishment. ^ c Traveling in 1700.?From a paper on t 'Social Life in the Colonies," by Edward , Sggleston, in the Century, we quote the ( ollowing: "The Virginia planter of the ] icher sort, who was said to live with more s how and luxury 'than a country gentle- ^ nan in England on an estate of three or ^ our thousand pounds a year,' showed a j trong liking for the stately six-horse ( oach, with postilions; but it was not until , 720 that wheeled carriages were recognized ( n the legal price-list of the Virginia ferries. f n the other colonies, also, the coach was j valued as a sign of official or family dignity, ( md some of the richer Carolinians carried j their luxry so far as to have carriages, hors- ? ;s, coachmen and all, imported from Eng- \ and; hut in Carolina, and everywhere { lorth of Virginia, the light open 'chair' or : he covered chaise was generally preferred. \ These were better suited to the roughness j md sinuosity of the roads than the coach, j The chaise was a kind of two-wheeled gig, f laving a top, and drawn sometimes by one, md sometimes by two horses; the chair had wo wheels but no top, the sulky, which ( vas much used, differed from the chair s hiefly in having room for but one person, t V.11 these seem to have been hung on straps, | >r through-braces, instead of springs. Bos- i on ladies in the middle of the eighteenth ] entury took the air in chaises or chairs, \ vith negro drivers. Boston gentlemen also ] iffected negro attendants when they drove ( heir chairs or rode on saddle horses. But n rural regions, from Pennsylvania northvard, ladies took delight in driving about ilone in open chaises, to the amazement of European travelers, who deemed that a paridise in which woman could travel without >rotection. Philadelphians were fond of a ong, light, covered wagon, with benches, vhich would carry a dozen persons in an ixcursion to the country. Sedan chairs vere occasionally used in the cities. The Dutch introduced sleighs into New York at l very early date; but sleighs for pleasure, hough known in Botson about 1700, only ame into general use in the northern provnces at a somewhat later period. The first j tage wagon in the colonies was run from j Trenton to New Brunswick, twice a week, ' \ luring the summer of 173S. It was a link ; i n tedious land and water journey from ] Philadelphia to New York, and travelers j. vere promised that it would be 'fitted up j | vith benches, and covered over, so that pas- i ] engers may sit easy and dry.' " , Hklpfi'L.?A correspondent of the Pall j i 1 [all Gazette tells the story of a plump, pret- | y little orphan of seven, who was one of | he steerage passengers in a steamer heavily i ] aden with emigrants for New York. She j. lad not a relative or friend on board, but j vas sent from some remote district in Swe- | , len to Chicago. The poor baby made her journey of four housand miles smiling, happy, finding a ' riend's face in every one that looked at her. 1) The emigrant women on board cared for ler as though each were her mother. Every I norning she came on deck freshly bathed 1 aid dressed, her pretty hair braided under ' ler puckered hood. The Englishman who ' ibserved the universal kindness to the child < ays, "In all my life I never saw so fine a ? hing." j i A story which is told of some German i migrants might parallel this: Two broth- < :rs, one an able-bodied mechanic, the other 11 . slight lad of eighteen, were steerage pas- 1 engers in one of the American steamers ( everal years ago. The elder, venturing < nto some dangerous quarter of the vessels, 1 < luring a storm, was washed overboard < .nd drowned, lie had on his person the i ittle store of money and the tickets belong- ' ng to both. The lad, Gottfried, was left 1 .bsolutely penniless and friendless in the j vorld. The other emigrants contributed of 11 heir poor little savings enough to pay his 1 ray and support him until he reached a ' olony in Dakota, to which most of them ] vere'bound. lie is now one of the most i ndustrious, energetic men in it. < Scnrwlv n shinlnnrl of emiprnnts comes i i cross the sea in which there is not shown < he same mutual kindness and help. There ! s something in the act of cutting loose rom his old home, and all past assoeiaions, which make a man cling more elosey to other men as neighbors and brothers; iving and asking help as never before. It s the best preparation for his life in this ountrv, where he will stand on an equaliy for mutual help and support with men f every nation under heaven.? Youth's bmpuniou. Washington's Fixkuah.?Washington lied at Mount Vernon the evening of the 4th of December, 17!)!). Congress was in esssion, and immediately upon reeipt of he news it adjoured for the day. The next norning it was resolved that the speaker's hair be shrouded with black; that the nembers and otticers wear black during the ession, and that a joint committee of both louses be appointed to consider the most uitable manner of doing honor to his mem ry. The funeral took place on the lXth ?f December, the fourth clay after death, nd is thus described in Irving's Life: About eleven o'clock the people of the leighborhood began to assemble. Thecor oration of Alexandria, with the Militia nd Free Masons of the place, and eleven ueces of cannon, arrived at a late hour. V schooner was stationed off Mount Vernon o fire minute guns. About three o'clock ; he procession began to move, passing on I: hrough the gate at the left wing of the louse, proceeding round in front of the awn and down to the vault on the right ring of the house, minute guns being fired t the time. The troops, horse and foot, ormed the escort, then came four of the lergy; then the General's horse, with his addle, holster and pistols, led by two frooms in black. The body was borne by '>ee Masons and officers; several mem>ers of the family and old friends, among he number I)r. Craik and some of the Fairaxes, followed as chief mourners. The cor>orateof Alexandria and numerous private >ersons closed the procession. Rev. Mr. Davis read the funeral service at the vault, .nd pronounced a short address, after which he masons performed their ceremonies, and he body was deposited in the vault. Such vas the obsequies of Washington, simple ind modeest, according to his own wishes; ill confined to the grounds of Mount Verlon, which, after performing the poetical [ream of his life, had now become his final esting place. . Growth or America.?The first anexition to the United States was the province ?f Louisiana. France received $15,000,000 rom our Government for it. The articles if conveyance were signed at Paris, April ;0, 1800, by Livingston and Monroe on tfie >art of the United States and by liar be Marbois on the part of France. By this mrchase 1,171,931 square miles were added o the area of the Union, including nearly ill of the Mississippi Valley. The next adlition was Florida, ceded by Spain to the Jnited States in return for the payment by he latter country of claims of American iti/.ens against Spain amounting to $5,000,>00. The limits of Florida at the time of jurchase were the same as now. Texas was innexed without the formality of a treaty, n 1845. It added 376,133 square miles to he Union. New Mexico and Upper Caliornia were acquired as a part of the re;ults of the Mexican war, although Mexico ,vas appeased for the loss hy the sum of M5,000,000 and Texas was afterwards paid he sum of $10,000,000 for that part of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande. The area )f the republic was thus increased by 545,'83 square miles. By the Gadsden treaty of 853 the LTiited States acquired from Mexco for the'um of $10,000,000 the possession if the Moquilla Valley, comprising the southern part of Arizona, an area of 45,535 square miles. By the treaty of March 30, 1867, Russia ceded the whole of Alaska, >75,390 square miles, to the United States, eceiving therefor $7,200,000. The total lumber of square miles of territory acquired by these annexations was 2,776,040, more :han three quarters of the total area of the l:nion.?C/i icago Ledger. Real and Burlesqe Negro.?Of course legro minstrelsy is an illusion. It represents nothing on earth except the abnormal levelopment of a most extraordinary buresque. Perhaps the very breadth and statltelso to sneakl of this burlesaue. overshad wing ancf putting to shame all other modern burlesques, gives it strength and vitality, for it is enjoyed with as keen a relish in the South, where the i.egro is supposed to je known, as it is in any part of the North, where all that is known of the negroistiiat ie was a slave, and that he has what is called i humorous turn, and can vote. In Georgia, for instance, we have long igo ceased to ask ourselves why the stage legro appears in variegated clothes with his oat-tails dragging the floor, or why it is that lis pasteboard shirt collar threatens to scrape the hard oil-finish from the moon, or why his buttons are as large as saucepans. We have long ago ceased to remember that .lie negro was and is anything but a comic :haracter; that he made no puns and asked 10 conundrums. Under the vital influence )f the stage we have ceased to remember his seriousness, a feature intensified rather than ightened by his humor. When, therefore, ;he minstrels inarch in and proceed to crack the old jokes we have seen in the almanac, ind perform on all sorts of difficult instruments, and warble sentimental songs, we iccept it all as genuine?at any rate, we enoy it as keenly as if it were an exaggerated transcript from life. But it is all false in 'act. It is not even a passable burlesque ; "or a burlesque, to be passable, must have ioine grain of truth at the bottom. An Esquimau Summer Tent.?The Esjuimau summer tent is not a very prepossessing looking affair, and a village of such :ents is far less artistic than the displays of :he Indians of the plains with their ornamental lodges of tanned elk skins, and bristing masses of lodge poles radiating from the top. This tent (too-pik of the Innuits) las two poles to hold it up, one near the ;entre, about six feet high, and one at the entrance, about five feet high. The rear :ent pole has a wide, flat crosspiece between J * 1 r ? i i.i. t i AVO ieet ana mircy incites in teiigut, lasien?ned to its top, and placed at right angles to ;he leugth of the tent. Its purpose is to spread the top in order to give more room lelow. The front pole, standing about five eet from the other, has from its front one ir more guy ropes, generally extending forward and fastened to stones. From the ear pole the tent spreads at about an anjle of forty-five degrees backward, affording space enough in which to spread the redding behind the rear pole. The skins of :he rear half of the tent are untanned, unJressed black sealskin, impervious to water ind almost excluding light. The front half is of split walrus skin, and sometimes of walrus intestines, made so thin that it is light yellow, perfectly translucent and freely ulmits the light. It forms a sort of huge bay window in front for this purpose. Unfortunately, this thin stuff admits the rain if the summer, light as it nearly always is in the arctic. Rains are not frequent, so the natives are not often inconvenienced in this respect. There are numerous canvas tents in the colony, which have been got by barter with white men, although for comfort itul protection from the storms they are not is good as those made of skins.?Lien tenant Schwatka. Trades Fon American Roys.?The trades in our country, of late years, have been almost monopolized by foreigners, fhe American boy, however, when he does take a trade, goes straight on to the top of the ladder. It seems if our boys would rather be fourth-rate lawyers, or physicians, than earn their living by working with heir hands. Only the other day I read in i New York newspaper of a young lawyer, In a distant city, whom I knew some years igo when I resided in that section of the . ountry, who literally starved to death. He made scarcely any money, was too proud :o tell his want, lived as long as he could in crackers and water, and was found ine day in his office, dead, from lack if nourishment, lie should never have mtered the legal profession, for he had no *k5i; + ?r \ r\ 4-hnf Ac o f\irmnr nr lUlIHJ 111 U1UIV UilVVblViii ?v iii.i.iv.i v* mechanic he might have lived a long, useful and successful life. Xo boy, of course should enter a trade jnless he feels himself fitted for it; but on ;he other hand he should not, it seems to ne, let the false pride against manual labor ivhich now prevails to such a wide extent n oureountry, prevent him from endeav>ringto do better work with his hands than n his inmost thoughts he knows that he can lo with his head.?George ./. Munnon. Evolution of tiik Peach.?The great incestor of the peach was purely a tropical ;>lant that could not endure the least touch if the frost. The almond, from which, by nan aiding nature, the peach has been produced, is so-fragile that it can searely be nude to grow even in the warmest portions if the United States; yet after many ages if coaxing and gradual acclimation, it was transplanted from the hot suns and warm fields of Arabia to the frost touched highlands of Persia. But instead of the rich Kernel being the tempting food which the :ree offered to the cultivator, as was the ase with the parent almond in Arabia, it was the husk which man ate in Persia; but lot the hard green, indigestible woody rind of the almond, but the rich, luscious peach. 1 Tow Tkkks Pump Water.?.Some idea if the necessity of preserving our forest, in irder to protect the valleys from disastrous nundations, may be gathered frbm the fact :hat Dr. .J. M. Anders, in his official report if the geological survey of Wisconsin, says hat the average amount of water pumped rom the earth and exhaled by soft, thin eaved plants in dry weather amounts to >ne and one-fourth ounce troy per day of welve hours for every square foot of surace. "Hence," says the doctor, a moderite sized elm raises and throws off seven mil throo-fourthts tons of water per day." YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. Pi'OspectiiK for 1HSO. A BUGGY AND TWO CASH PREMIUMS !

SCROFULA OF THE LUNGS RELIEVED. 1 mil now 4!) years old, and have suffered for the last fifteen years with a lung trouble. Several members of niv family, , on my mother's side of the house had died with consumption^ and the doctors were all agreed in their opinion that I had con1 sumption also. I had all the distressing symptoms of that terrible disease ; I have spent thousands of dollars to arrest the inarch of the disease; 1 have employed all of the usual methods, not only in my own case, but intiie treatment of other members ol my family, but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several years. By chance I came into possession of a pamphlet on "Blood and Skin Diseases," from the office of Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend ror.ninmcnib'il tin- use ot Swift's Snecific. clniiiiintr that lie himself had been greatly benefitted by its use in some lime troubles. 1 resolved to try it. About four years ago I commenced to take S. S. 53. according to directions. I found it an invigorating tonic, and have used about fifty bottles. The result was most remarkable. My cough lias left me, my strength lias returned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than I ever did in my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use ol the medicine, hut I have had no return of the disease, and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs. I do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel as well as I ever fell since I was boy. These, I know, are wonderful statements tn make, hut I am honest when I say that I owe my existence and health to-day to Swift's Specific.
