Clever Little Stories.
Renresentative Browmlow, of Tenn
essee, tells that once he was running
a country paper during campaign
t: nes and was printing “fighting” lan
guage every week. One day, just af
ter the paper vas out, a big man,
a r med with a club, walked into the
sanctum and fiercely inquired if the
editor was in.
'rile
Clotliier’.
The frightened Mr.
Brownlow had wit enough to answe'
that lie was not, but that he would go
out :>nd hunt him up. He started for
1 tp e street and at the foot of the stairs
:r■ i another irate fellow, who asked:
“Will I find the editor of tills dirty
sheet upstairs?” “Yes,” said Brown-
j low, “he’s up there at his desk just
I it bing for a fight.” The second man
' went up and Brownlow disappeared.
! Which whipped, the other is not re-
i lated—and Brownlow didn't go back
during the day to find out.
“We Southe n men,” said Joe Black
burn, “often look at a pretty woman
1 irueb as we would at a picture, ad
miringly, courteously, but never imper
tinently. It was in this way that I
! not ong go rested my orbs upon a
very handsome young woman who was
walking up and down the platform at
the station at Washington waiting for
the train. Soon she turned and saw
1 me. ‘Rubber!’ she exclaimed, and
shrugged her shoulders with a frown.
I took off my hat. ‘Madam,” said I,
! ‘I beg a thousand pardons. I didn’t
know that. I took the liberty of ad
miring you because I thought you
were the real thing.”

It is said of the Rev. I. K. Funk,
whose book on spiritualism has made
j such a sensation, that even as a child
: he had a peculiarly subtle and discern
ing mind. One day, at Sunday school,
a clergyman put a number of ques-
tims to him, and finally said, “What
commandment, my lad, did Adam
break when he ate the apple?” "If
you please, sir,” was the reply, “there
weren’t any commandments at that
time,”

Washington and the Negro.
[American Press. 1
Washington, like almost every
other landed proprietor in the early
days, was a slave owner, but he was
always a kind and considerate mas
ter. He publicly sympathized with
antislavery agitation of 1790, express
ing ins desire to see the system ex
tinguished by some just and equita
ble method. At the time of his death
Washington possessed 124 slaves,
whom he directed in his will should
be emancipated upon the death of his
wife. Washington’s will also contain
ed an injunction upon his heirs to
care for such of the manumitted
slaves as were old or decript as long
as they should live and to look out
for the orphans until they should lie
aide to look out for themselves. To
one slave, his “mullatto man,” William
lA?e, he gave immediate freedom, with
an annuity for life of $30..
Edwin B. Perry at Limestone.
It has been much the fashion among
musicians to make no effort whatever
to interest or enlighten the general
public in regard to instrumental mu
sic, but to administer large doses of
the heaviest classical selections with
out a word of comment, and when not
appreciated, to boast of the superior
ity of the profession, and to snub the
public for its ignorance and indiffer
ence. Edward Baxter Perry’s lecture-
recital was the first attempt to point
out to the ordinary concert-goer just
what it was in the compositions which
he and his brother musicians per
ceived and enjoyed, and to lead oth
ers, by a clear and graphic descrip
tion in words of the meaning of the
music, <0 find and feel such pleasure
for themselves. The invitation has
been largely copied by other solo ar
tists, and the idea has been adopted
even in orchestral concerts, such as
the series by the Thomas orchestra in
Chicago and by the Symphony orches
tra, of Boston, where the descriptions,
or annotations as they are called, are
printed out upon the programs, for
the enlightenment of each member of
the audience. Since this has been the
practice the audience at the Boston
Symphony concerts has increased
threefold.
Mr. Perry will prove the value of
ids innovation'in a lecture-recital here
on Friday, February 3rd, at Limestone
College. Those who always enjoy such
concerts will receive additional pleas
ure and information, while those who
habitually do not care for the piano
will he gratified to find that they have
really enjoyed classical music for the
first time in their lives. The remark
oftener made than any other by Mr.
Perry’s hearers is: “I never heard the
piano before.”

“My mother has been a sufferer for
many years from rheumatism,” says
W. H. Howard, of Husband, Pennsyl

move at all, while at all times walking
was painful. I presented her with a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and
after a few applications she decided
it was the most wonderful pain reliever
she had ever tried, in fact, she is never
without it now and is at all times able
to walk. An occasional application of
Pain Balm keeps away the pain that
she was formerly troubled with.” For
