The mayor of Louisville, upon meeting
an old Negro, drew him aside, and
in a voice by no means gentle, thus
addressed him :
"Randsom, I am going to have you
arrested."
"How come dat?"
"Why, for having obtained money
under false pretences."
"I ain't done nothin' like dat, sah ;
I 'clar to goodness I ain't."
"Didn't you come to me yesterday
and get $1 ?"
"Yes, sah."
"Well, but you trifling scoundrel, I
saw your son on the street just now."
"Hah ?"
"You know what I said ?"
"Yds, sah; yas but I didn't tell you
de boy was dead, did I?"
"Didn't tell me he was dead! You
infernal old idiot; did you suppose I
thought you were going to bury him
alive ?"
"No, sab."
"Then what did you mean by saying
that vou didn't tell me he was
dead?" .
"Now, jes hoi' on, sah ; jes wait a
minit. Dat boy ain't been in good
helf fur er laung time, an', dat I'd
batter bury him sooner or later, w'y I
'lowed better raise de money durin'
de busy season, when de folks wan't

"You old rascal, that boy is in excellent

"Who, dat chile? You don't know
dat chile like I does, sah. Dat boy
suffers wid der gestion, but it's jest as
I says, er hones' an' kine hearted man

AMERICAN HUMOR.
Thft disposition of Americans to ex
x
aggerate is especially prominent in
what is known as American humor.
A story associated with "picket-firing,"
during the Civil war, brings out
this feature of national character :
One day there was a truce between
the two hostile picket lines.
"Ho, Yank 1" called out a lank Mississippian,
who bad just been posted.
"Can you fellows shoot ?"
"Wal, Johnny, I guess we can, some!
Can you ?"
"Shoot!" shouted back the Confed
6rate. "Why, down in Mississippi we
knock a bumble bee off a thistle bow
at 300 yards!"
"0 that's nothing to the way we
shoot up in Vermont! I belonged to
a company up ther' of 100 men, and
every week we used to go out to practice.
The cap'n would draw us up in
single file, and seta cider barrel rollin'
down hill. Each man took a shot at
the bung-hole as it turued up.
"The barrel was then examined, and
if there was a shot found that didn't
go into the bung-hole, the man that
fired it was expelled. I belonged to
the company 10 years, and there ain't
been nobody expelled yet."
The exaggeration is often so pronounced
as to eclipse the humor. A
Californian, hearing a Brazillian tell
of the wonderful fireflies of his country,
so large and luminous that ladies
wore them on their person enclosed in
gauze, replied:
"That's nothin'. Why, in Californy
the fireflies are so large that they use
them to cook by. They set the kettles
on their hinder legs, which are
bent for the purpose like pot hooks,
and their bodies give out heat to boil
potatoes."
too fond of the luedictise.? - i
see you have got that black bottle
filled again !" remarks Mrs. Splatterby,
the other day, as Splatterby was hunting
around for the sugar.
"Yes," replied Splatterby, "a little
something is good to have about the
house in case of sickness."
"I don't think whisky is good," said
Mrs. Splatterby.
"And why isn't it, I would like to
know?" asked Splatterby, with some"
degree of feeling. '"Many of the most
eminent physicians recommend it."
"Well," said Mrs. Splatterby, with a
composed cast of countenance, "if it
is a good medicine, it don't agree with
your system. I notice that you are
never well while there is a drop of
the stuff in the house."
Couldn't Find It.?The wife of a
wellknown citizen recently purchased
a wheel and has been taking lessons at
the rink. Her husband the other
night went up to see her under course
of instruction. She is a plump (I may
say exceedingly plump) and pleasing
person. Jtiubby noticed tnai ine instructor
found it necessary to occasionally
place bis arm about his
spouse's waist, and, approaching the
man he said: "Young man, don't
you think it a little too fresh to put
your arm around a lady's waist?
Whir rtnn't. vrtn fnlrA tinlH r?f t,he sad
die ?" The instructor looked helplessly
at the rotund rider and exclaimed
: "Great Scott, I can't find
the saddle!"
The Story.?A little girl came
home from her grandmother's one day,
with a very full account of an elegant
lunch party that grandmamma was
giving. Surprised that she had known
nothing about it before, mamma made
inquiries, only to find that no such
party had taken place. Questioned
in regard to her imaginative effort,
Mabel answered plausibly :
"Why, mamma, sometimes you
make up 'tories to amoose me, and I
thought I'd see if I couldn't make up
a 'tory for you."

A LOVING SINNER.
CASSIE QUIN'S ATONEMENT.
BY GUY BOOTHBY.
"I say she's a liar?she kin say what
she bloomin' well please. My man a'
course kin take the sack ready aud
williu'; I ain't a denyin' that; but
what I do say is that we aiu't a-goin'
to be put upon by the likes of 'er?
no, not if she was Missis Victoria upon
her golden throne ; we wouldn't. An'
30 I'll tell 'er to 'er face."
Her name was Cassie Quin. And in
case this assertion may not convey
very much, I may also say that she
was a strapping young woman of
about 22 years of age, strong as a
mountain heifer, brown as a berry,
and boasting a fluency and picturesqueness
of expression that almost
took one's breath away. She was the
wife of a boundary rider on the
Queensland Station I was managing at
that time, and there had been serious
trouble out back.
The adjoining station, it must be
understood, had a hut on the other
side of the boundary fence, and between
the two women there was constant
feud. The opposition wife had
taken the trobule to make certain serious
charges against our boundaryrider,
and now bis wife Cassie had
come in herself to disprove them. She
was about as rough a diamond as
could be found between Capes York
ind Howe, and when she stood before
ue she completely filled the doorway.
Having had 10 minutes of vigorous
protestation and defiance, and with a
irtew of arriving at a conclusion, I
said, quietly:
"Come, come, now; that's all very
veil, you know, but you must have
;iven her some provocation !"
"I dunno what yer mean by 'provsrcation,'"
she answered ; "but if she
says my 'usband don't do no work,
veil, she's a liar, a darned liar; and
>o I'll tell 'er to 'er face when I go
ome?there, now! Why, I'll tell yer
vbat, if yer want to know, 'er man
ion't?"
"There, there; that'll do," I said,
lastily; "I don't want to know any,hing
further. Go home, there's a
;ood woman, and, for goodness sake,
lon't let me hear any more about it.
,'f you want any extra ratious for
Christmas day, you can tell the storeceeper
I sent you."
She was evidently not satisfied, for
she went away down the path mum
ding something about falsehoods and
vengeance I did not catch. It was
orribly hot, and even in the shadow
>f the veranda the thermometer stood
it 116 degrees.
When Cassie had interrupted me, I
vas busy writing to the old folk at
some ; and after she left, I narrated
vhat bad passed as an amusing mcilent
characteristic of Bush life. Then
he storekeeper came in, sat on my
able, and lit his pipe. When he actid
in that fashion, it was always a
lign that he had come to stay, so we
tat talking of bygone days, mopping
>ur faces, and wondering what was
lappening 16,000 miles away. I renember
he had just said : "Hold on,
hough, we're feeding them with
;oose and plum-duff when tbey are
?nly just out of bed?we've forgotten
he 9 hours' difference in time."
To which I replied: "God bless
hem ; and precious cold some of 'etn
ire too, I'll be bound"?when from
he yard rang the cry of "Fire 1"
We dashed out; and there, sure
snough, was the smoke of a huge bush
ire, licking along the top of the thicky
timbered ranges that separated us
rom our back country. It appeared
o be entering the gully in which stood
he rival huts I have previously menioned.
And as soon as Cassie saw
his, she left the store and rushed to
he bough shude, where her horse was
landing. I followed her, crying:
"Who are at the huts, girl?"
"Only that woman and 'er kid," she
inswered, seiziug her saddle.
"Then where are the men ?" I asked.
?or I knew, as it was Christraus day,
here would be no work doing.
"Down at the Dingoe Creek grog
hauty, and most like dead drunk by
his; and that woman's lame, and 'er
:id ain't weaned. I must go!"
"Nonsense. Put that saddle down,
ind let one of the men go. You cau
lo no possible good !"
"I can, I can. Don't stop me;
here ain't uo time to wcste, I tell
rer! What's the use of sendin'one
if them ? I cau get there quicker nor
uy of 'em."
She wus in the saddle by this time;
,nd I, seeing it was impossible to stop
U a nnl j ori/1 n All*

houted after her; "Take care of
ourself, for God's sake, girl!"
She had 14 miles to go, and the fire
earcely six more. But she could
mly travel as fast as her horse could
;allop ; while the fire was moving like
,n express train.
Ten minutes later I was on the way
vith men and beaters. Even at the
listance we were from it we could
eel the hot glow upon our faces.
Lnd every moment it was closing in
aster aud faster on the devoted huts,
'resently volumes of smoke began to
oil over our heads; and we could
listinctly hear the roar of the flames
ind the falling of trees far ahead of
is. Withiu half an hour we had arived
at the point I was aiming for,
md had commenced clearing a track,
n order to direct the course of the fire
owards a dry creek bed. It was
Ireadful labor; but any one with half
in eye could see that it was the only
:hance of saving the wool-sheds and
he home station. Every moment the
leat was growing more intense, and
>y the time our work was completed
lad become almost unbearable.
Cassie had been gone nearly three[uarters
of an hour now. That she
vould gallop her horse to death to get
there in time, we knew ; but was the
feat she had undertaken possible ? It
was the uncertainty that made the
suspense so awful.
With the roaring fierceness of a
million furnaces, the fire came closer,
and already sparks were floating toward
us. Then we heard a noise of
horses galloping through the thick
scrub timber; and presently, mad
with terror, a mob came into view,
tearing and racing for their lives.
With them, in hopeless confusion,
were sheep, kangaroos, wallabies,
wild-dogs, and emus; while overhead,
hawks, crows cockatoos, magpies, eagles,
and all manner of birds, flew
screeching before the hot blast.
Our track by this time was broad
and clear, and, if only the wind would
drop or change, we might consider
ourselves safe.
Seeing that nothing else could be
done, we mounted our terrified ani
mals and rode down into the creek
bed. Then there went up a shout;
and at the same instaut, through the
high grass, a maddened -and terrified
horse, with a woman and child swaying
to and fro upon jts back, thundered
towards us. That it wasn't
Cassie, we could tell, for this rider
and child were tied on. Seeing the
other horses in the creek, the poor
beast leaped over the edge, and fell
upon the soft sand at our feet. We
rushed forward, secured it, and, as
fast as we could, unbounded the precious
freight. Needless to say, it was
The Opposition and her child.
Cassie must have traveled as fast as
her horse could gallop to the Blackfellow's
Well in the Ten-mile Paddock
; and then turned due east along
the foot of the Ranges towards the
gully where she lived. From the well
to the huts she must have had the
heat of the fire full in her face, for at
the highest calculation the flames
could not have been five miles in front
of her. Then turning the hillside, she
saw the huts below her.
In three minutes she was beside i
them, calling and shrieking to her .
enemy to come forth and be saved. ,
The terrified woman, according to her 1
own account, had shut herself in'o the
bark "humpy," for she knew it was
worse than useless to trust to her
lameness in the dried up scruh. As
the dames appeared on the hilltop, .
she saw through the window Cassie
descending the track on the hillside ; '
then she lost sight of her until she <
heard her name called and rushed j
out. (
"Save me, save me, Cassie Quiu !" t
she cried ?"save me and my little
Em'ly. Take 'er, and I'll pray for ye [
and bless your name forever !"
Cassie had by this time dismounted.
"Come on, then?git on 'ere," she
shouted. "But wait, where's some
green hide? I'll have to tie yer on, <
or yer'll let the kid drop?I know yer '
will. That's right now. Stick to 'er
tight, and make for our 'ead station.
Go on I Git 1" 1
"But you, you 1" screamed the J
frightened woman as the horse plunged
and snorted at the on-rushing flames?
"there's no room for you. You'll be
killed 1"
"D'ye think I'm a baby, and don't :
know how to take care of myself? f
I'm all right. You git 1" '
As she spoke, she struck the horse
savagely, and he bounded away, and
the next moment bad disappeared
down the track, the mother and child J
rolling wildly in the saddle as they
went. Then Cassie turned to the r
gully and saw the approaching flames.
Her sacrifice was complete. Death e
was inevitable. She gave one glance
round, found that her escape was cut off,
and then rushed into her own hut f
and shut the door.
? - - i
That night, as soon as it were possi-1 j
hie, we orgauized a search party and I
went out to hunt for her. We had [
not far to look. We found her in her I
own hut, which, hy some strange i
chance, wus untouched, lying ou the floor
quite dead?suffocated. On the
back of the door, evidently scratched
with a nail, were these words : "I sed J
she wer a liar ; I'm sorie." I

510. THE ELECTROPOISE. $10. A
[N view of the increased and growing
demand for this remedial agent, the

with the manufacturers for a reaction
in the cost of manufacture which
low enables it to sell the instrument for
10 CASH. This arrangement, however,

re suffering with any kind of disease,
nd desire a cure without medicine, should .
ake advantage of this reduction and seure
an ELECTROPOISE at once. It
3 simple and can be used without inconenience
to the patient. A book giviuS
ull directions how to use it with each
nstrument. Send in your orders at

V. M. Propst, Agent, Yorkville, S. C.
Dear Sir?In reply to your inouiry, I
fill say that I cannot give too much praise
ar the Electropoise. I have tried it
ar pleurisy, neuralgia, rheumatism and
estlessness at night. From 11 to 1 o'clock
very night I had to rise and sit up. The
Jlectropoise has cured me ana I now
leep well and feel better than I have felt
ar 30 years. Yours truly, w?
