A Wicked1 Olt Ontleman.
Nice old gontlomani he was; big
white waistcoat, low Out shoes, bald
head and sliver-bowed spectacles. Ue
led in the singing on Sunday evening
In the hotel parlor, aid snag that old
fashioned bass iII "Coronatlotin,'" and
"China'' in tiht sonorons up and down
style which country elcoriters u1sed to
practice in accompanying the big tiddle
and withal had the blaii(I beievolent,
look of a good old l) coiintry (eacon.
He was "lookihg rouil the house"
next nighit, and stepped in where Some,
of the boys were pliying cards-some
thing where they were talking of
"calls" and "raises" and "seelig.''
The boys looked a little diseoncerted,
but the old mnim didni't say aniythiiig,
till the hand wias played oit, an(I one
of the party, under pretence of having
an engagement., winked to the ofthers
and said lie must go, intending to
break up till the old man had gone
away and then resume tihe game. But
he had scarce turnedI his back wlen
the aged visitor renmarked : --
"I wonder lie (idl't ralse' ye witli
tihe hand he held."
"Do you understand the gamie?"
asked one of the party, taking a eigar
from his mouth.
"Wall, a leetle-l've seen 'em playin
on It, and sometimes thort that I'd like
to take a hand jes' fur fuin I."
"Just so," said anotier, "suppose
you try a game or two with us."'
"Wall, I (101) 't. mind jVs fillr the runi
or the thIng,'' so the oltt mau sat down
and with a good leal of iustriietion
managed to get tliror.,;. tie game and
won on the plony aite. "Thar," said
he, "if that feller that's golne la<d been
spunky ani ptt. in live dolars, he'd get
it instend of eight cen ts, wouild n't lie ?''
''Why ! certainy," sai( one of tile
young Imlen, "certainl, .O,'s your (eal
uncle; now why dont ' you go in for a

"Wall," said tihe ol fellow throw
Ing round the cards, "I dnnoillio biut I
will, but .1 ha t g t Ilotli l' hit. a
twenty dollar bill ilit I drew olitenl

"I'll go yer twevnty, and you cali pul

Oxygen in the Sun.-Professor Henry
Draper had an enthusiastic reception in
London recently, wlieni he broughi'be
rore the Royal Astronomical Society
the results. of his investigations as to
the presence of oxygen in the Sun. In
the paper which lie read Dr. Draper
iuet many of the objections urgel
igainst his theory, and added numerous
contirmatory proofs to those already
pLublished of the soundness of his con
olusions. iis views'were strongly sup
ported by some magnificent photo
graphs of the solar spectrum, which
were greatly admired by the English
savans. The London Times paid thePro
fessor the complinent of a laudatory
eolumn and a half article, and summed
up in his favor as follows: "We think
that most spectroscopists will admit
that Professor Draper d2es not pass be
yond the limits of scientille caution in
claiming that the coincidence, shown
in his photograph's, between the bright
lines of oxygen and bright parts of the
solar spectrum, establishes the proba
bility of the existence of oxygen in the
sun. The burden of proof, or rather of
disproof, should now fall on those who
consider that the coincidence may, after
all, be merely accidental.. To us4 it
seems that it such evidence as Professor
Draper has obtained is rejected, hardly
any spectroscopic evidence can sulloe.
to prove the existence of an element in
the sun. We certainly have not strong
Br evidence in 'the case of sodium or
magnesium, elements which every phy
sicist regards as present in the sun, than
Professor Draper has obtained in the
uase o.f oxygen." In the discussion
which followed the reading of the pa
per, Mr. Raynard, Mr. Proctor and Dr.
Gladstone warmly supported Dr. Dra
per's views. Dr. Huggins was over
whelmed with a sense of the conscien
tious care wlich Dr, Draper had bestow
ed upon the investigation, but stis penided
judgment until lie had examined the
coincidences by direct vision himself.
The only dissentient voice was that of
Mr. Christie, of the Royal Observatory,
who was afraid, if they accepted -Dr.
Draper's theory, that the solar spectru i
is - made up of a continuous spectum
with bright lines upon it, and that
these are again nodlied by lark lines,
they would be landed in absolute tin
aertainty as to the sun's composition,
since they would not.bo able to ascertain
wvhether aby of the ordinary dark lines
were merely interspaces between bright
1ines, or were absorption lines. On the
whole, Dr. Draper is to be congratula
upon his successful reception.
What More Terrible,
more.painful, more exasperating, discouraging
and persistent than les, especially to affloted
mortals who have tried lotions, ointments,
pills, olectuarios and all manner of nostrums
and doctors' stuff. internally and externally,
without relief. What wonder is it that half a
millhon redeemed sufferers should shout ho
sannas over the discover of Anakesie, an in
fallible cure for Pile.? 'his medical miraole,
so simple as to exoite wonder that wise dbotoru
have not thought of its before, so prompt and
certain in its action as to secure for itself the
title of infallible, so scientiflo and rational in
its combination of poultice, instryment and
medicine, as to render the ultimate cure of 95
p.r cent. of average cases of pies sure. is not
an accide'ntal discovery, but the solution of a
problemnb the study and oxperience of Dr.
Silsbee. an accomplished andldsti nguished
physician of 40 years' standing. It has stood
the test of 20 years' experlenco; over half a
million of sultferers have used it with mue6ess,
and doctors of all schools now prescribe it in
their proctice, aud it is pronounced to be the
nearest to an infallible cure for piles 'yet dis
covered. Anakesis, Dr. 8. Sllsbee's External

Nothing like Glass.-It us proposed to
r:.ake railroad ties of glass. So with
car-wheels of paper and ties of glass we
may soon expect rails of putty or some
such substance. Soon after Do la Bas

menced a series of researehes, wybich
have culminated at present in the pro
duction of a very hard glass9 whichi,

North Metropolitan line at Startford,
are three feet long and four Inches wide
by six inches deep, the upper side beibg
shaped to fit the rails, The glass sledp

cheap.
