Mrss Nellie Estelle, nee Ellen Kelly, and 
Miss Elite Celeste, nee Mary Crump, are two 
Imllet-girlB in New York. They fell out about 
a don, and bad recourse lo a police magistrate 
hi order to settle Ibeir difference. During the 
proceedings the following correspondence was 
read: 
Mary Crump—Your dogg is treating my cat 
shameful. If he ain’t made to stop t will make 
him myself. Miss Nellie Estelle. 
Ellen Kelly—Yrur impertinent letter don’t 
deserve au answer from any lady. But I give 
you warn that you will lay your filthy hands 
on my dog (see dictionery) if you dare. I 
don’t demean myself by putting my name to 
thiB. 
Mary Crump—If my bans is filthey I use 
soape and water on my nek, and not powder 
I am not ashamed of my name, if you are. 
Miss Ellen Kelly, nee Celeste. 
On the case being reported, the reporter re¬ 
ceived the following letter from one of the 
irate ladies s 
Mr. Reporter—Falsehood and desete is for¬ 
eign to me. I despise the actions of a false 
frieud. Let hei r doo and say her worse, m< an- 
ing no disrespect to your papper, I scorn to 
say anything except that I will yet be even 
with one so low as to forgot the frauds of her 
adversite. Yours more respectfully, 
Miss Estelle. 
P. —Excuse bad riiiu as my nerves ls.alpon 
edge. Miss Nellie Estelle. 
Many a poor but religious editor has been 
compelled to receive payment for his valuable 
paper iu turnips, string beaus, pumpkins aud 
such like articles of diet, but we never remem¬ 
ber to have heard of a bULchor who would 
accept of a column of paragraphs in return for 
a porterhouse steak or a small roast for Sun¬ 
day.—Piscataway Presbyterian. 
A3-year-oId little girl was taught to close 
her evening prayer, during the temporary ab¬ 
sence of her father, with, “Aud please watch 
over my papa.” It sounded very sweet, but 
the mother’s amazemeut may be imagined when 
the child said, “ And you’d better keep au eye 
on mamma, too.” 
“Going to leave, Mary?” “Yes, mum; I 
fiud I am very discontented-” “If there is 
anything I can do to make you comfortable 
let me know.” “No, mum, it’s impossible. 
Yon can’t alter your figger to my figger, no 
mor’n I can. Your dresses won't fit me, aud I 
can’t appear ou Suudays as I used at my last 
place, where missus’ clothes fitted ’xactly." 
When Plagued by the Vagaries. 
Of a disordered Uver, the bilious need expect to 
derive no permanent relief from the use of calo¬ 
mel, blue pill, or the barbarous cathartics now 
happily losing ground In general and professional 
estimation. These rasp, convulse and weaken 
the systetn, i but Hostetler's stomach miters re¬ 
lieve. regulate and Invigorate It, Those significant 
pains In the liver, the saffron hue which Its de¬ 
rangement communicates to the skin, the Impurity 
of the blood, constipation, furred condition or the 
tongue and contamination of the breath which re¬ 
sult from biliousness, are entirely, speodRv and 
pleasantly removed by this beneficent alterative, 
which Is likewise a potent remedy tor chilis and 
fever, and Its best preventive. While the system 
is regulated and purl (led, It Is also thoroughly 
Invigorated by this superlatively fine medicine, 
which la or botanic origin, and contains none! but 
salutary Ingredients. The medical fraternity 
highly commend It.
