joking, but he is credited with the following 
witty observation to a brother Peer who was 
complaining of the coldness of the House of 
Lords whenever he addressed it: “I am be¬ 
coming accustomed to it; but at first I felt 
like speakiug to gi avestoues in a cemetery.” 
Up IN Cbatauqua County one day lately a 
politician was watching a severe storm from 
his doorsteps, when a farmer acquaintance 
turued in hastily from the road and drove 
under a shed. “What's the matter, Bob?” 
asked the politician. “Well,”said the farmer, 
“I believe thar’s one of them sly coons coming.” 
A London tourist met a young woman go¬ 
ing to the kirk, aud, as was not unusual, she 
was carrying her boots in her hand and 
trudging along barefoot. “My, girl,” said he, 
“is it customary for all the people in these 
parts to go barefoot?” “Partly they do,” said 
the girl, “and partly they mind their own 
business. ” 
During a disturbance in the gallery of a 
theatre the excited crowd were on the point 
of “throwing over” one of the principal 
offenders iu the parquette beneath, regardless 
of consequences. Observing the extravagant 
tendency, an Irishman of utilitarian views 
arose in his seat aud roared out: “Sh! Don’t 
washte him 1 Kill a fiddler wid him.” 
A gentleman who observed Johnnie care¬ 
fully taking the census of a company assem¬ 
bled in the parlor awaiting a call to supper 
inquired: “What is the matter, Johnnie? 
“ Why,” returned the urchin, with a troubled 
air, “here’s nine of us, counting me, and 
mamma has gone and cut the two pies into 
quarters, and that only makes eight pieces.” 
A friend of miue, who dabbles considera¬ 
bly in stocks, walked into a well-known 
banking-house the other day and created con¬ 
siderable excitement by remarking: “I got 
a pretty good tbiug when I bought that last 
Winter. It was 34 then, and to-day it stands 
at 95.” “Well, I should say so,” exclaimed 
the senior partner. “But what stock was it?’ 
“It was a thermometer,” coolly replied my 
friend. 
If you are a frequenter or a resident of a mias¬ 
matic district, barricade your system against the 
scourge of all new countries— ague, hlllous and in 
termittent fevers—by the use of Hop Bitters. 
Ludixotos, Mleh., Feb. 2,1880. 
I have sold Hop Bitters for four years and there is 
no medicine that surpasses them for bilious attacks, 
kidney complaints and many diseases incident to 
this malarial climate. H. i ALEXANDER.

M BALSAM! 
Is undoubtedly the most val- 
^mynnhle and reliable Veteri- 
Jiai .y Xlemetly ever discover¬ 
ed. It has superseded the Actual Cautery 
or hot iron; produces more than four times 
the effect of a blister; takes the place of all 
liniments, and is the safest application ever 
used, as it is impossible to produce a scar 
or blemish with it. It is a powerful, ac¬ 
tive, reliable and safe remedy that can be 
manipulated at will for severe or mild ef¬ 
fect. Thousands of the best Veterinarians 
and Horsemen of this country testify to its 
many wonderful cures and its great practi¬ 
cal value. It is also the most economical 
remedy in use, as one tablespoonful of 
Caustic Balsam will produce more actual 
results than a whole bottle of any liniment 
or spavin cure mixture ever made. Price
