An Unhappy Showman. A contributor to the Cleveland Plain » Writing of a book ayent once famous throughout Ohio, says: Mr. Beer delighted in “astonishing strangers, who were accustomed to stare at him on account of his oddities in per- sonal appearance, and _ pric himself upon being physically dif from other men, and, being a natural accor. would often assume most ungainly atti- tudes in order to amuse stranwers. The writer recollects passing up Su- Derior street in his company on one oc- casion when Barnum’s circus was ex- hibiting in Cleveland, and an old lady evidently from the countr being at tracted by Quincy's un ly appear- ito 1 nd that other feliow [meaning me] is ps rading him up and down the ” street.” “That's so,” replied the old man; when Quincy, overhearing the conversation, put on one of his inimitable expressions of countenance, ussumed a most awk- ward gait, an! looked more an orang- outang than like a human being, as the old gentleman continued: -‘An’ I'd rather see the ‘What Is It’ than all the rest of the circus, ’cause it's funnier and didn't cost nothing.”” This remark so pleased Quincy that he said we must spend the rest of the day at the circus, aud -there we repaired, when the fun began. Quincy planned that 1 must exhibit him to a crowd at a sideshow as one of Barnum’s greatest curiosities—the great “What Is it” Wegave a sideshowman $1 to let us run his show for just fifteen minutes, and the showman called the spectators to order, when I immediately commenced to exhibit my curiosity. 1 held up kis hands and called attention to their wonderful size and similarity to a monkey’s paws.

The great Chinatown of the { doe rtising medium of telegraph-pole in re in Mott street, tham s qu e. in diameter, led by a belt of Chinese s white, ec red paper. The girdle is thr ov four feet broad, and thus the avail- able advertising space is from eighteen to twenty-four square feet. This does not suffice for the needs of Chinatown, and another telegraph pole on the op- posite side of the street, out toward the corner of Park street, gets part of the | business. When the Chinese avail themselves | ef this advertising medium they are re- | minded of the perversity of this western people in doing almost everything in a way diametrically different from their time-honored oriental method. There | is never any doubt as to the circulation of this advertising medium, for, as in the case of that other post the Evening, nobody claims that it circulates. It stands there year in and year out, and the readers do the circulating. Thus, there is no chance for hocus pocus. It | is possible that, with their not very ex- act ideas as to modern - western appli- ances, they may suspect that there is some benefi influence in the mys- terious buzzing that is heard up among the lofty wires. ‘Lhe prohibition **Post no Bills” does not appear on the pole. If it is there it is covered up by many thicknesses of *‘dead-ads.” On Sundays, when the Chinese from all parts of the city flock to Chinatown to pick up the week’s news concerning their race, each visitor steps up to the pole and consults the announcements made thereon. sales, to lets, and wants. hen a Chinaman has anything for sale, from Wo & or selves, but they know where they can tind scribes who will do it for them in good shape for reasonable pay.

Comparatively few of them are able to write the notices them- The and without No cuts are inserted. There seems to be an understanding that no man shall occupy more of the common space than a reasonable setting forth of Among the new advertisements re- cently were the announcements, made in good commercial Cantonese, that a laundry in Harlem, with a well-estab- lished Melican custom, could be pur- chased at a reasonable figure by apply- ing on the premises, und that a mer- a Dutch jig, and thus show his_ polish and gracefulness as the result of civil- ized life and training. ‘The dance be- gan, and the dancer's legs roamed over the large platform. Sometithes the heels would be in close proximity to the showman's head, and sometimes might be seen touching the huge can- vas a long way off, while the contor- tions:of the body were truly wonderful to behold; but the crowd enjoyed the performance, and men as well as wom- en Jaughed until they grew weak at the comical attitudes assumed by the per- former, who at last. becoming weary from his exertions, gave a war-whoup that started the crowd for the exits, they imagining that the supposed wild man: had suddenly become a dangerous being.

Mr. Beer $3,000 a year to travel with him and perform. As the fame of the morn- ing exhibition became noised about the afternoon crowds were diverted even from the main tent to the sideshow to see the phenomenal “wild man.” The showman, wio had taken the money of the people, was now in despair, for the “wild man” could not be found, though an offer was made of $150 for just one act of “that comical fellow,” as he called him. But Mr. Beer was no long- er in that special line; and looking from the seclusion of a window across the way he witnessed the success of his per- formance as the disconsolate showman appeased the disappointed crowd by re- funding their money. es Forethought oi a Dying M&n. Rev. Hugh Cull is still well remem- bered in Wayhe county, where he lived for more than half a century, and died at the advanced age of 104 years. Dur- ing the last four years of his life he was afflicted with a sort of hypochondria, and every once in a while imagined he was dying. On one such occasion he mounted his adopted daughter on a horse and sent her to notify the mem- bers of nis family, who lived at some distance, that.his end was near and if they desired to see him die they must come atonce. While she was gone on this errand he happened to think that there was no wood cut and that his children would ve cold when they got to his bedside, as it was inthe middle of winter; so, forgetting about his near apprmach to death, he got up and went resident of that quarter who translated for the reporter could find no English equivaient—\.

Kisses for a Consideration. ‘Those housekeepers, those mothers who pride themselves on bringing up their children well, and who keep a constant eye on their servants, ean only be bent from the strictest rules of pro- priety intue household by housekeep- ing considerations. There's one of this dear, old-fashioned school up town who has a very pretty servant maid, a tempt- ing servant maid, who.always gets serv- ed tirst in the morning, and has all the tradespepple interested in the house. The milkman tries tocome late, so he may find'her, and the butterman is wild about her, and the butcher sometimes comes himself to see that the meat is all right. Those advantages have not been jost upon the lady of the hou-e, but she iss stickler for propriety. So when, theother morning, she found the butcher's boy kissing the pretty servant maid, she was shocked. She wrote a note to the butcher and told him if he couldn't séad a boy who behaved him- self he could take her name off his list of customers and she’s get her meat elsewhere. At breakfast they spoke about it. “Well, mamma, you'd better write to the bntterman, too. He kisses her every morning,” suid the daughter of the house. “What?

Many persons u Athlophoros for rheumatism and neuralgia have been surprised to find that chronic disorders of the liver and kidneys have also been greatly relieved and they have written foran explanation. The fact is, that the remedy acts directly on these organs, | cleansing them from all irritating sub- | stances and regulating their action. Taken in connection with Athlophoros Pills this is, without exception, the most valuable kidney and liver remedy in the world,and will cure a large proportion of those wno have these diseases, Charles F.
