Anna Dickinson's trials and tribulations, and finally, her triumphs in reaching various lecture'stands to the great gratification of huge audiences, says the Rochester Demovrat, have been frequently writteu about. Once she crossed tho Hudson at Catskill on a old day in January, very nearly freezing and drowning on the way. At another time she hired a special locomotive, as all other ,1a aaa*bIai>?11.?. nn/1 t Vtnrt arrftin fillA lUUlflll viD uv I'ttaoiuiiaujf^ auu biivii h^??m was drawn a hundred miles in two hours by six reindeer, standing bolt upright in a fairy stone boat and handling the reins with the dexterity of the class known as old sports. Her latest adventure is graphically related in the Jersey City Journal. She was engaged to lecture before the people of Newark Wednesday evening of last week at the Opera House. She was a passenger from Jersey City on the 7:10 evening train, of which 0. H. Crane is the "gentlemanly conductor." She intended to alight at the Market street depot, but for some unexplained reason she was taken to South Broad street, some distance beyond When Mr. Crane's train stopped ho found that the only way he could get Miss Dickinson over the swamp which lies between the tracks and the street on which was a horse car, was to take her on his back and wade through the .t> mnd and quagmire, in some places knee deep, to dry land. Miss Dickixson sa* there was no help for it. and, covering her face with her veil to hide her blushes, pot her arms around Mr. C.'s neck, which, doubtless for him was not an altogether unpleasant operation. and left the rest to fate. When about half way through the swamp of dangers, the conductor called lustily to the driver of the horse car, which was about to start, to 'hold on,' but the Jehu was dull of hearing, bo the louder the oonductor yelled, the more energetically (he driver whipped into a ran his "jaded stated." Hut we canuot continue this painful sceneSuffice it to say that the conductor finally yelled " bloody murder;" that some passengers on the car heard the cry, and finally both Miss Dickinson and her jaded steed were lifed up to dry land and happiness. " Anna." concludes the Journal, " never looked prettier, smiled sweeter, or delivered her thoughts in a more musical tone than she did on last Wednesday night, and it was noticed all through the lecture her eyes fair 41 - _1!A ly laughed at tne runny manner in wuicu she was landed in Newark. A Disgusted Landlord.?The Missouri JiepuUiean is responsible for the following: "Once on a time there dwelt in oar sister city of Alton a worthy, but rather irrilablo, gentleman, who was the host of a famous hotel there, known as the Franklin House. Numerous citixens drew their rations from his liberally furnished table, and now a few visitors from the rural districts preferred the substantial fare of the Franklin House to the mere pretentious board of the Alton House. One day, in addition to all the good things with which the dinner table was loaded, there was at the lower end a nice roast pig, that might have tickled the palate of the gentle 'Ella/ who discourses so eloquently of that savory viand. At the conclusion of the meal, this roast pig remained intact, when along came a belated drover, who sat down beside it, and, having a good, ' -S *1. L _1_ wholesome appetite, soon aovourea me waoie of it. The landlord looked on amazed, and was puzzled to see where his profit was to come in, after deductings dollar and a half pig from a fifty cent dinner ticket. Giving vent to his disgust, he said very sarcastically to the drover: 'Isn't there something else you would like to be helped to?' 'Wal yes,' drawled the drover, 'I don't care if I take another of them little hogs.' This was too much for the equanimity of the landlord, and. to keep himself from 'spontaneously combusting," like Dorothea, he was compellto rush out in the open air, where he oonld give vent to a few unorthodox expressions without being overheard by the elect, of which he was one." Trick oka Berlin Photographer.? The Latest trick in Berlin photographs is thus described: The artist pretended he could make photographs of gentlemen so lifelike that their dogs would be able to recognizethem. When these photographs were held up before the dogs of the owners, the dogs would wag their tails and lick the pictures. The other photographers of Berlin, who wero unable to perform anything simi ? -? ? -i ? ii_ j:_ lar, watcliea tneir coueague, anu unanj uw covered bis secret. It was a very simple proceeding. All he did was to cover the photograph with a thin layer of lard, which the dogs, of course, smelted, and then lickod off. lie succeeded in taking in a good many of the aristocracy, and has therefore been sent to the penitentiary.

DIABOM^^mLES^ THESE Spectacles are manufactured from "MINUTE CRYSTAL PEBBLES," melted together, and are called DIAMOND on account or their hardness and brilliancy. It is well known that Spectacles cut from Brazilian or Scotch Pebbles are very Injurious to the eye, because of their polarizing effect. Having been tested with the polarscope, the diamond lenses have been fonnd to admit fifteen per cent, less heated rays than any other pebble. They are ground with great scientific accuracy, are free from chromatic aberrations, and produce a bright ness and distinctness of vision not before attained In Spectacles. Manufactured bj the Rpenoer Optical Manufacturing Company, New York. For sale by J. A. YOUNG, Camden, 8. C. From whom they can only be obtained. No peddlers employed. The groat demand for these Spectacles has Induced unscrupulous dealers to palm an Inferior and spurious article for the " Diamond." Great care should be taken to see that the trade mark (which Is protected )>y American Letters Patent) are stamped on every pair. September 98. 12m.
