John Bonk, the Immortal.— He deserves 
the title ; he has earned it. John Bone lives 
in Texas, of course ; that’s where they all 
live. He has been repeatedly shot dead in 
his tracks by infuriated mobs; wild Injun 
tribes have alternately tortured him to death, 
clubbed the life out of him and transfixed 
him with poisoned arrows ; he has been hung 
as a horse thief; fatally injured by the ex- 
plosion of a kerosene lamp; stung to death by 
rattlesnakes ; crushed to a jelly by bears ; 
immature drug-clerks have by mistake ad- 
ministered all sorts of deadly poisons to him, 
which have repeatedly proved fatal in their ef- 
fects; he has been mortally wounded in six 
railroad collisions ; and twelve lightning-rod 
and book agents have as many times talked 
him to death. And now the sheriff is 
after John to kill him again for a fresh crime. 
He doesn’t mind it much himself, and thinks 
that when he is a little more used to it he 
may come to eDjoy it. 
“ Old Abe." — And now it has come to light 
that the eagle, which we all saw at the Centen- 
nial, and expended a deal of sentiment upon 
as the veteran war eagle that went with the 
Eighth Wisconsin Infantry through the smoke 
and grime of the four year's war, is a sham 
and a fraud after all. The genuine “Old 
Abe ’’ died years ago. The present unlawful 
occupant of his perch is a d« facto “Old Abe, ” 
who was fraudulently counted into his place 
by a returning board of impecunious ras- 
cals. Those blue-uniformed attendants who 
talked so eloquently of their war exploits 
and took in the money of the interested and 
gullible listeners— we wonder if they were 
frauds too, veterans who had never been 
within hearing of the echoes of a battle. 
— What is the difference between South 
Side, L. I-, and New York on a night? 
Spreads and sheets. 
make him forget the degrading associations 
of the bar-room and lift him upward. He 
should endeavor, so far as his business avoca- 
tions will permit, to sleep, bathe and eat reg- 
ularly and obey the laws of health. By the 
adoption of this course enegetically and sin- 
cerely no man who has the will to reform 
can fail to do so. Hundreds and thousands 
can attest the truth of these statements. —

—While Mr. Escher was making one of his 
celebrated runs at billiards a few nights since, 
two street gamins were intently watching him 
through au open window. After he had 
scored about 160 one of them turned to the 
other with a perplexed expression on his face, 
and quick speech, “Say, Jim, where is the 
other man?” He evidently thought it took 
two to play billiards. 
Dogs with Antipathies. — Crib, a won- 
derful dog, described by his proprietor as 
“ an enemy of poachers, a friend of cats, and 
a connoisseur of gooseberries, ” while regal- 
ing himself upon his favorite fruit, fresh 
from the bush, got stung by a wasp, bent 
' upon gooseberry taking too, and experienced 
a new and never-to-be-forgotten sensation. 
Crib became convinced his vocation in life 
was to wage war upon wasps, and from that 
time devoted all his energies to their de- 
struction ; and, taking up an advantageous 
position under the bushes he and his enemies 
most effected, snapped them as fast as they 
appeared without getting hurt himself. He, 
at any rate, had reasonable and just cause 
for the antipathy he indulged, which is more 
than can be said in extenuation of the irre- 
ligious collie, whose habit it was to Bneak 
out of his master’s company as that gentle- 
man took down his Family Prayers and rang 
for the servants. Purposely prevented one 
evening from making his usual exit, Noble 
took such pains to behave indecorously that 
it was judged wisest to let him have his way 
for the future ; and he was never known to 
make one of the nightly gathering again— 
All the Tear Round. 
Advice to Drinking Men. — A drinking 
man can supply himself easily with the rem- 
edies used at nearly all the inebriate asylums 
and be his own physician at his own home, 
without the necessary expense and publicity 
of visiting the Washingtonian home or any 
other reformatory institution. His labora- 
tory need contain only a small quantity of 
cayenne pepper, a pot of concentrated ex- 
tract of beef, and a few grains of bromide of 
potassium. When the desire for drink re- 
curs, make a tea from the cayenne pepper, 
as strong as can taken with any degree of 
comfort, sweeten it with milk and sugar, and 
drink. This tea will supply the same place 
that a glass of liquor would fill, and will 
leave no injurious effect behind. Repeated 
daily or so often as the appetite returns, it 
will be but a few days before the sufferer 
will have become disgusted with the taste of 
the pepper, and with the appearance of the 
disgust disappears the love of liquor. The 
fact is proven every day. The extract of beef 
is to made into beef tea, according to the di- 
rections on the pot, in quantities as may be 
needed for the time being, and furnishes a 
cheap, easily digestible and healthy nutri- 
ment, it being made “to stay on the stom- 
ach ” when heavier articles of food would be 
rejected. The bromide of potassium is to be 
used carefully and only in cases or extreme 
nervousness, the dose beiDg from fifteen to 
twenty grains, dissolved in water. This is a 
public exhibit of the method of treatment 
adopted at the inebriate asylums. In ad- 
dition thereto the drinking man should sur- 
round himself with influences which tend to J 
ery and Bric-a-brac, is the 
largest in the world, and the 
public are invited to visit their 
establishment without feeling 
the slightest obligation to pur- 
chase.
