HIS PRIVATE BAND 
A FiirExn of ours, having determined to give 
a musical party, looked about amongst his 
•acquaintances for suitable guests, and after 
considerable cogitation and inquiry made up 
his mind to invite the following: 
Jones, because he was so clever in blowing 
his own trumpet. 
Brown, because he possessed the ability of 
harping on one sir ug. 
Smith, because, even if you stopped him in 
the street for a moment, lie began to fiddle with 
his collar. 
Tompkins, because the sight of a thirteenth 
ward of a suit filled him with an irresistible 
wish to “ trump it.” 
/Robinson, because, if rumor was true, lie 
was undoubtedly a base-vile” man. 
•Johnson, because, according to all accounts, 
he played second-fiddle to his wife. 
Sinrpsou, because, us a newspaper proprietor, 
he lmfi *11 organ of his own. 
Richardson, because lie is so good at the 
long-bow, and 
Saniuelson, beta*he lie and his wife are cele¬ 
brated for their kettle-drums.

A LAOS 
“ Say, what is a lass ?" his small brother inquired, 
And the youth, with a smile thal was sad. 
Made answer, as if by the question inspired. 
“A luss is alas to a lud." 
A* ex-Professor of ancient languages at the 
University of Virginia, peddles apples in Gal¬ 
veston, Having failed on Greek and Latin 
iwuts he has very sensibly taken to the produc¬ 
tions of his native soil. X. T. Com. Advertiser. 
An English nobleman, who is in the habit of 
speaking to soldiers in an affable manner, was 
much amused lately when a guardsman said to 
him, in a hearty and genial way. "I like you, 
my lord. There's nothing of the gentleman 
about you.” 
A preacher in Kentucky the other Sunday, 
becoming exasperated, paused in his discourse 
to say i '*Ladies, if you will give me your close 
attention I will keep a lookout on that door, 
and if anything worse, than a man enters I will 
warn you in time to make your escape.” 
A little girl visiting a neighbor with her 
mother was gazing curiously at her hostess’ new 
bonnet, when the owner queried: “Do you like 
it, Laura?" The innocent replied: “Why, 
miother said it was a perfect fright, but it don’t 
scare me.” Laura's mother didn’t stay long 
; after that. 
1 his Knife is the best in use for cutting down h ay and straw in 
mow and stack, cutting tine feed from bale, cutting corn stalks for 
feed, cutting pent and ditching marshes. 
The blade is best cast steel, spring temper, easily sharpened 
and is giving vin'vermt satisfaction. A few moments’ trial will 
show its merits, and parties once using it are unwilling to do with¬ 
out It. :n sales are last increasing for ox pent as well us home 
trade, and it serins destined to take the place ot all other Itay 
Knives. 
They are nicely packed in boxes, one dozen each, of 50 lbs. 
weight, suitable for shipping by land orwaierto any part of the

[Extract from the Baltimore li American,’’ 
December 21, 1878.J 
“The Pulverraachcr Electric Belt is recom¬ 
mended to general use for the following rea¬ 
sons: First, for its wonderful properties for 
the cure of diseases of the kidneys, stomach, 
liver and blood; secondly, for its extreme 
simplicity, and the fact of its being applied 
outside, precludes all possibility of any in¬ 
jury being done to the patient, as an external 
remedy is universally acknowledged to be 
safe. Another advantage is the facility with 
which the progress of the disease and cure 
can be watched, and if the Belt be not quite 
in the right place, it can be very easily read¬ 
justed so as to cover the parts affected. The 
Pulvermacher Electric Belt, and its perfec¬ 
tion, has been hailed with delight, not only 
by the sufferers who have regained health, 
enjoyment, and a new lease of life through 
its beneficent, qualities, but by the medical 
profession, who very frequently prescribe its 
use to their patients.” 
PULVERMACHER’S 
ELECTRIC BELTS AND BANDS 
are indorsed and approved by the most em¬ 
inent medical and scientific authorities in 
the world, by the Faculties of France, En¬ 
gland, Austria, Prussia, Belgium, and Amer¬ 
ica, and by well-known writers, who refer to 
the extraordinary cares effected by Pulver- 
macher’s Electric Belts and Bands, in up¬ 
wards of one hundred medical and philo¬ 
sophical works.

A Dangrerou* Torpor. 
Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys Is seriously 
(dangeroo.- ro those organs, since it. is the precedent 
•of distwse»,which destroy their substance and en¬ 
danger, life. This sluggishness may be overcome 
thy stimulating ahem, not excessively, bul moder¬ 
ated!'. an effect produced by Ilostetter’s Stomach 
Bitters, a general! lnvigorant and alterative, pos¬ 
sessing diuretic properties of no common order. 
The impetus which this admirable medicine gives 
to their evaenatlve function counteracts any ten¬ 
dency to congestion which may exist in their tis¬ 
sues. Both they and their associate organ, the 
bladder, are invigorated as well as gently stimu¬ 
lated by the Bitters, which exerts a kindred influ- 
<encc upon the stomaeli, liver and bowels, and by 
strengthening the system, enables it to withstand 
malarial epidemics, to which when exposed It 
might otherwise succumb.
