It therefore become absolutely necessa ry to get the old man's permission, so aa Smith said, the arrangement might be made to hop the conjugal twig. Smith said he'd rather nop the interrog atories to all of Thompson's daughters, nd his sisters, and laid lady cousins, and hia aunt Hannah in the country, and the . -hole of Ins female relations, than ask Id Thompson.

So b blurted out : "Mr. Thompson Sir : Perhaps it may not have been unknown to you, that dur ing an extended period of some five years, I have been busily engaged in the prose cution xf a commercial enterprise ' "Is that so, and keepin' it a secret all this time, while I tbounlit vou were ten- WSJWCI.V II v uiov tAmmY din' store I Well, Ly George, you are oue I qlaesuons should pay the one who pro of them, now ain't you t" pounded them a twelve kreutzer piece, Smith had begun to think it all over arid those who answered them pertinent again, to get the run of it. ly should receive a twelve kreutzer "Mr. Thompson Sir, perhaps it may piece, not be unknown to you that, for the ex- This proposal pleased the company, tended period at five years, I have been and hopiug to divert themselves with the busily engaged in the prosecution of a j Jew's wit or stupidity, each one asked at commercial enterprise, with the determi nation to secures sufficient maintenauoo"- "Sit down, Smith, aud help yourself to beer.

With that old Thompson took Smith and shot in the street as if he'd ran him against a locomotive agoing at the rate of forty miles an hour. Before old Thomp son bad time to shut the front door, Smith collected bis legs, and one thing and an other that lay around on the pavement, ar- raiged himself in a vertical position and yeited out : "Mr: Thompson Sir: It mar not be known to you ''which made the old man so wretched mad that he went out and set a bull terrier on Smith before he bad a chance to lilt a brugao, aud there waa a scientific dog-fight, with odds in favor of the dog, for he had an awful hold for such a small aaimal. Smith afterwards married the girl and lived happily about two months. At the end of that time he told a confidential friend that he would willingly take more trouble and undergo a million more dog bites to get rid of her. PROFITABLE TRADE IN MID DLES. Nine persons sailed from Balse down the Rhine. A Jew who wished to go to Schalampi was allowed to come on board and jonruey with them, npon condition that he would conduct himself with pro priety and give the captain eigteen kreul- zers for his passage. Now, it is true something jingled in the Jew's pocket when he bad struck his hand against it; but the only money there was a twelve kreutzer piece, for the other was a brass button. Notwithstanding this, he accepted the offer with gratitude. For he thought to himself "Something may be earned even upon the water. -as many a man has grown rich upon the Bbw . . sengers were talkative and merry and the Jew with his wallet under his arm, for he did not lay it aside, was an object of much mirth and mockery as alas, is often the case with those of his nation. But as the vessel sailed onward, and passed Thur engen, and St. Velt, the passengers, one after another grew silent and gaped, and gazed listlessly down the river until one cried "Come, Jew ! Do yon know any past time that will amuse us 7 Your fathers must have contrived many a one during their journey in the wiPlerness." "Now is the time," thought the Jew, "to shear my sheep !" And he proposed that they should sit round in a circle, and he, with their permission, would sit with them. Those who could not answer the random whatever chanced to enter his head. , . Thus for example', the first asked: "How many soft boiled eags could the gi ant Goliah eat on an empty stomach ?" All said it was impossible to answer swer the question, aud each paid tlie twelve kreuUurs. L. , mm , iiiijmgp But the Jew said "One, for he who lias eaten one egg, cannot put a second upon an empty stomach," and the others paid him twelve kreutzeus. The second hought "Wail, Jew, I trill try j ou out of the New Testament and I thiuk I shall win my piece I Why did the Apostle Paul write the second epistle to the Corinthians T" The Jew said "Because he was not iu Corinth otherwise he would have' spoken to them." So he won another kreutzer piece. When the third saw tbat the Jew was so well versed in the Bible, he tried him iu a different way. "Who prol ga his work to as great length as possible aud completes it iu time." "The ropemaker, if he is industrious," said the Jew. ' In the meantime they drew near to a village and one said to the other "that is Bamlack," then the fourth asked "In what month do tlie people of Bamlack eat the least i The Jew said, "In February, for it has only twenty-eight days I" The fifth said,- "There are twp natural brothers, and still only one o( them is my uncle."

AN ELEPHANT AND TWO CAM ELS ATTACKED BY ALLIGA TORS IN A FLORIDA SWAMP TERRIFIC BATTLE AND Dxath of oxk riAifiu. .T.ttao. jaaafl I The perigrinations of showmen arc be set with numerous difficulties while pur suing their daily avocations in this our Southern country, which, with the usuai winter rains aud heavy roads, makes it very difficult for the managers to muke good the promises of the agents. Such was the ease of a circus and menagerie a few days since. While performing in Tallahassee, Florida, it was mentioned to the manager that he might expect some difficulty iu passing through a long and dismal swamp between that place and Quincy, on account of tho large number of alligators who infested the ford at this particular locality, and who are at this season of the year very ferocious, and on the watch for any unfortunate rattle or horse that may become entangled in the aumerous roots, quicksands and hobis which abound; but he replied thatthe agent had already made the arrangements for him to go trough, and it was not his natHre to turn hack. At three o'clock, P. M., on Tuesday, January 25. a man in: charge of the noi- iu ils stnrted with the Elephant Empress the large Hadrian enim-l, the beautiful Arahian white camel, a fine thorough bred maro and colt, and two spotted coacb dogs, to make the trip to Quincy, warn ed, botwuvor, not to attempt the passage of the swamp only in daylight. Before approaching the ford, an occasional bel low or roar was heaid betokening that the uinauitaiits ''of the locality had not re tired for the night, and a sudden plunge and splash in -tha water would denote that the enemy was mi the alert for mis chief. 'Phe elephant would, every few Steps, throw her trunk aloft, emitting at the same time a loud screech of defiance, the camels uttering low moans, while the horses airrost refused to Stir and Stood trembling with fear, while the dogs kept up an incessant howling. Approaching the water at the ford, the man in charge determined upon the immediate "passage through before the alligators had time to summon their crew. Bidding the elephant enter she stepped boldly in at tho same time, lashing the water fnrionslV with her trunk, the cam els, horses and dogs following close in the rear. He had passed two-thirds of the way when a sharp yelp of paiu from one of the dogs aud his sudden disappearance donated that tha swamp fiends were at work, and before he could collects his thought the' other dog went under with a long death howl. The water seemed alive with alligators. V The roaring, bellowing and screeching of elephants, camels and alligators weie terrific. They would throw their ponder dermis jaws open and tear hnge pieces oi flesh from tha camels, while the poor brutes would ntter bearrf-rendinf groans anilities for relief. Meantime the ele phant Was not idle. Ever solicitous for the welfare of her keeper and companions, she had, at the moment of seeing them landed upon the opposite sboie, rushed back to the ass'staucs of her friend, who by this time was nearly gone, and sue ceeded in bringing the head of the earoel to the shore, that portion being all that remained of the poor animal.

Transfusion of Blood formed on a Young Lady The Cbicaeo . x ue reader oi tnis paper will remember the report of an interesting ex periment of transfusion of blood into the veins of a dogperformed at Bush Medical College last Wednesday by Drs Freer ana Hunt. I he carotid artery of the an imal was severed, and the blood allowed to ran out until the animal waa apparent; ly lifeless. An incision was then made in the regular vein, and the Blood allowed J ru" 001 tl e animal was apparent ly lifeless. An incision was then made in he juguUr vein, and the blood was eject ed back into the ar imal's system, with the effect of restoring him to life. The account of this interesting expert mem given to lbs Post was noticed by the friends of a young lady hi Iowa, who had been0 for some time wasting away with disease sunr m -J ta L., ai.rv.,vrivreyei!ujaiu,i u r Trail ITOsi ii g Tjjo (5a into her system. Dr. Hunt, of the Facu! ty of Rush College, responded to a call, and found the puient in a very low con dition. He proceeded to take some sixteen oun ces of blood from the arm ot a young bro ther of the girl, and injected it into her veins. The patient went into a comatose condition, ana it was found that still more of the vital fluid was necessary. Another supply was drawn from a sister of the in valid and wa injected, and finally a third supply from another brother, about ten years of age thirty-six ounces of warm, living blood being thus conveyed into the system of the young woman within a few hours. The event is not yet determined, though the prnsp ets of recovery arc very hopeful, if the lungs are not too nearly destroyed If the disease is only incip ient, it is thought that life and health will be restored. This experiment is the only one of the kind ever attempted in the West, and is very rare elsewhere, though it has been tried with success. The re sult in this case will be anxiously looked for, not only by the friends of the patient, but by the scientific world generally. The Shield f Faith. When Epami nondas had received his death-wound on the battle-field, be asked with bis fast fail ing breath,, if the enemy had taken his buckler. On beine told that it was safe. that the enemy bad not so much as laid a hand upon it, he laid down again peace fully to bis soldiers death. So when the soldier of the red cross comes to bis dying hour, his failing hand reached out to his trusty shield of faith, which has borne him safely through many conflicts. If it is safe, all is well. He can rest his head upon it, as upon a downy pillow, and breathe his life away ia the joyous hope of a glorious resurrection. "Now," said the bishops to John Huss, ss the fagots were piled a bo at hi in, "we commeud thy soul to the devil." "But I," said Huss, lifting bis eyes to heaven, "do commit my spirit into Thy bands, O Lord Jesus Christ; to Thee I commend my spirit, which Thou hast re deemed." He wore a shield which no fire of per secution could destroy. Free Masonry iu Rome. One old Capuchin, whom I came upon the other evening near the Fomm Rnmanum, work ad himself into a kind, of 'divine rage about the Free Masons, and bis hearers seemed to take a good deal of interest in the minute and particular way in which he described the machinations of that 'ac cursed, blasphemous and impious ere v.' It is rather curious, by the way, to fi.id how large an are this "aboratnatian of Free Masonry" subtends iu the clerical imagination here at Rome. The "Free Masons" seem te be regarded now aa the Turks were in the time qf Paul III. Tbey are charged, and this in the lead ing prints of Rome, with being at the bot tom of all the "liberalism" of the age; wi.hi xciting a fatal influence over the minds of princes, and with perverting the policy of empires. Certainly I do not believe there is to be found another place in the world in which so much is heard and thought of "Free Masonry" as here aad now. W. H. Hurtbut's Letter from Home in New York VTorW.
