* ?==Ktt=ESH5SSS5SSBHESMm Humorous. ,1 An Editor in Trouble. > $ A week or two ago one of onr reporters ft&d occasion to refor to a certain woman, whom we will call Hannah Smith, as a "denifcen" of the llth ward! ~ ~ A day or two afterwards a huge man entered the office, with his brow clothed with thunder. In his hand he carried a fearful ciub, and at his side trotted a bulldog, whom hunger had made desperate. With that quick appreciation of the situation1 which is creditable to the- superior intelligence'of educated men, the editor of this paper and' the proprietors darted to the window, climbed outsido, and down the lightning rod, and went across the street to watch the bloody fray through a spy-glassWifch the fearlessness of conscious innocence we sat still, merely inserting our legs iu two sections of stove-pipe to guard against any misapprehension of facts on the part of the dog. The man with the club- approached, "Aire you the editor ?" he asked, spitting on his hand and grasping- bis- club. We told him' that the editor was out; that He had gone to the North Pole with Captain Hall; and that he would not return before 1876, in time for the Centennial Celebra- { tion. "Are you the propreitor f* he asked. We explained to him that we were not : that the proprietors were also out?that they had gone to South America for the purpose of investigating the curative proprietors ol cundurango, and they expected to remain there for several years. "Well, whoever you are," exclaimed the warrior, "my name is Smith. We told him we were glad; because, if there was one thing better than possession of the name of Smith, it was the privilege of knowing a man of that name. "But, Smith," we said, "why this battle arrav ? It is absurd for a man to put on the | panoply of war, and frisk into editors' sane- j turns fumbling a club and accompanied by a disheartened bull-dog, simply because bis name happens to be Smith." lie said he called to burst the head of the man who had insulted his sister. "It is impossible, Smith, that such a thing could have been done by any one m this office!" "Yes, but it was, thoueb; and her name Was published, too! Miss Smith?Miss Hanner Smith!" "May we be permitted to inquire, Mr. Smith, what was the preoise character of the &fFcoflt~o&red~to Hannah ?" "Well, you see," said tmith, "the blackguard said she was a 'denisen.'?And I want ^ou to understand," said Smith, becoming excited, aud brandishing his club in a wild manner over our head, while the bulldog advanced and commenced to sniff up and down our stove-pipe?"I want you to understand that she is a decent young woman, with a good ehar-ack-ter, and none of your denizens and such truck. The man who says she is a denisen is a blackguard and a thief, and I'll smash him over tbw nose if I get a chance. They may say wlfaf they please about me, but the man who abuses my sister has got to suffer. And Smith truck the table iff a violent ^MMRUiUei Rllh hit club, w hi re" the bufttfog put his forelegs up on the back of our chair. We pacified Smith, with a dictionary. We pointed out to that raging warrior that the Webster i2n definition of the word "deniren" gives such a person an nnoffending character, and derprivas the term of anything like reproach. Smith said he was satisfied, and he shook hands, and kicked the bulldog down stairs. Pi>Ua. Sunday Dispatch. One or "Jo's Boys."?On one occasion the childron were all gathered in a room, when they made a docree that every one that entered should tell a story. Mrs. Jo. had just been trapped, and made to pay her forfeit, when little five-year old Bobby came in, having got out of bed to see what was the matter, and dragged his bed-cover with him. He was about to bo turned ignominionsly out as i ?u a. ?fur* ODe Wno couia not pay tut; tuncn, nnvu < ? protested vigorously against this sentence without atrial, and declared that he could tell "lots-of ones" when ho had "finked." Having cfeeply cogitated for a moment, perched on his mother's kneo and wrapped ' in the gay coverlet, he told tho following brief but tragic tale, with an earnestness that in ape it ftrony: "Once a lady bud a million children, and a nice little boy. She went up stairs and said, JTou musn't go in the yard.' But he wented, and fell Into the pump, and was drowned dead.-'*: "Is that all?" asked Frank, as Rob paused, out of breath with bis startling beginning. "No, there is another pieoe of it," and Rob knit his downy eyebrows in the effort to evqjve another inspiration. "What did the lady do when be fell into tbe pump ?" asked his mother, to help him .

A physician called to prescribe for a somewhat illiterate old lady, and as cod liver oil in his opinion, was the remedy for her complaint, he wrote a prescription for the apothecary to put up, with the latin formular "Ole Jeo. Ass." being an abbreviation of "Oleun Jecoris Asselli," or, in plain English coc liver oil. The medicine was procuerd, tak en, and in a few weeks the ladv completely recovered her health. A neighbor paid hei s visit after her recovery, and, expressing surprise at her improved condition, inquirec the secret of so rapid a restoration. "Why,' said the old lady, lifting both hands in grate fui enthusiasm, "it was that beautiful medi cine, the OH o/Jackau, that brought me or my feet again V' The Standard of Friday last, puzzles hii readers with the following statement: "Yes " tl j e teraay morning, a man wnose name nuu i?ut sere unknown, was found dead in a bam* oi Mr. Brandt's, on the Jersey City and Newark turn-pipe.

Scrofulous poison is one of the most destracgve enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and snffelt tanant of the organism undermines the conJpg don, and invites the attack of enfeebling or lbU1 diseases, without exciting a suspicion of it* presence. Again, it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some tavorable occasion, rapidly develop Into one or other of tte lideons forms, either on the snrfhee or among the titais. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited fn the lungs or heart, or tamers formed In the liver, or It shows its presence by emptiona &tbe skin, or ftral ulcerations on some part of body.
