—_— THE HIPPOPOTAMUS. lew « Naturalist Spoiled o Pair of New Kid Gloves. Beginning with the exterior, the skin toughness. From it are made the { terrible whips called ‘sjamboks,” s stroke of which will out a groove ina | deal board. A large sjambok affords the only argument to which a native draught ox will listen, and a smaller instrument, called familiarly a “cow- hide,” is used in lia of our riding whips. As the hippopotamus spends so much time in the water, the skin is through which exudes a thick, dark, oily secretion, which, like the fur of the seul, otter, beaver, and other aquatio aniwvals, keeps the creature dry. even when it is submerged. When in July, 1849. Obaysh, the first hippopotamus ever brought to England, was taken in the Nile as a youngster, its slippery skin enabled it to wriggle out of the aris of its captor, and it was only se- cured by driving a boat-hook into its hide, the ecar remaining through the rest of its long life. When in May of the following year, it arrived in Lon- don, I went to see it and inadvertently patted it, not knowing of the oily se- cretion, Consequently, a pair of new kid gloves which I was wearing were Qterly spoiled. A f male was aft- erward obtained, and in 1873 was born the first hippopotamus ever pro- duced in Europe. As is mother did not know how to manuge it, the young calf was taken away and fed artiticial- ly. ‘Taking it from its mother was a | most perilous task, and, after a most exciting series of «advev ures, was achieved by So't, the man who was aft- erward 80 well known as “J unbo's”” keeper. The little creature weighed about one hundr-d pounds, but kicked and screamed like an adult, while its round, smooth body was so oily that Scott could «carceely hold it Now we Jurnto thehead.

Not long ago a certain United || States war vessel, which happened to |}; beatthe time the fi gship of a R-ar }} Almiral, was lying anchored in New York harbor. A party of ladies and : @enilemen went on board to visit some of the younger officers and dine : with thom at their mess-room in the Seerage. The Admiral was absent. | One of the youngsters, anxious that | the honors should be done in gallant | ttyle, went to the officer of the deck | and requested that the band be alluw- | edto play during the dinner hour. | The request was promptly | granted, and the bewitching Strains of Strauss' waltzes and Opera ic music soon floated over || the water, to the great enjoyment and satisfaction of the s corage officers and their guesta. = In tho mist of the fes- tivities, however, the Admiral’s barge ‘Was seen upproaching the ship. The yards were manned. and with mach Pomp and ceremony he was received aboard. He iminediately went below. As s00n as the noise and bustle of this incident had subsided and the musio was again heard, the Admiral sont for the officer of the deck. “Mr. B—,"* he said, “what is that band playing on the deck for to-day?” The Lieutenant briefly said the steer- age officers were having company to @inner and they had requested the ) band to play. “Who the deuce,” roared the Ad- i “ever heard of such an utter dity as an Admiral’s band play- gtor @ steerage dinner! Order them ow, sir, at onc*.’* The band was accordingly ordered Below and the young officers pocketed the snub. When pay day came around the Ad- { miral’s messenger went the rounds of the officers’ quarters with a subscrip- tion paper to raise funds for the ase of new music for’ the band. due course of time he reached the /M@teerage mess-room. He hid no ‘Sooner made his errand known than wstalwart young ensign thundered VT ou “Who the deuce ever heard of such By an utter absurdity as steerage officers F paving for the music for an Admiral's id. { } . a } bed The messenger beat a retreat and athe Rear Admiral made up the de- slency.—N.

The following is taken from the Longton, Kansas Leader, and was | written by our former fellow towns- | man, Joseph Buck.

We claim the honor of being the son of as | honorable a Union soldier as ever shouldered a musket in defense of his country. And he is not living off of the charities of the govern- ment asa number of bounty jump- ers and hospital bums are doing ei- ther. As tothe Grand Army own- ing this country it is a mistaken fal- lacy. The soldiers were hired by the government and were paid their wages. In going into the service they knew the risks they were taking. We would not takea single laurel from them that they have so nobly won but instead, we say “God bless the boys in blue.” But we reiterate the G. A. R. is in the hands of a few political tricksters, such as adorn the so-called republican ticket.” { | | | Great Excitement in Texas. Great excitement has been caused inthe vieinity of Pans, Texas, by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corlev, who was so helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise his head; everybody saidhe was dying of consumption. A trial bottle ot Dr. King’s New Discovery was senthim Finding reliet, he bough: large bottle and a box ot Dr: King’s New Lite Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes of Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained thirty-six oounds Trial bottles of this great Discovery tor Consumption free at all drug stores. Large bottles $1. The report of Colonel Switzler, chief of the bureau of statistics, for the nine months ending September 30, of the present year, shows the total number of immigrants arrived at Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco, from the principal foreign eountries, except Canada and Mexico to have been 411,000, as against 294,- 596 for the nine months ending Sep- tember 30, 1886. Of these, 64,441 were from England and Wales, 62,- 203 from Ireland and 17,404 from Scotland, making a total of 144,148 from Great Brittain and Ireland. Do Not Thin for a Moment that Catarrh will in time wear out. The theory is talse. Men try to be- lieve it because it would be pleas ant if true, but it is not, as all know. Do not let an acute attack ot cold in the head remain unsubdued. It 's liable to develop into catarrh. You can rid yourself of the cold and avoid all chance ot catarrh by the use Dr. Sage’s Catarah Remedy. It already afflicted rid yourself of his troublesome disease by the same means.

The debt per head of population is about thirty-nine dollars. The debt has increased about three and a half million dollars since last June. A single bottle ot Ayer’s Sarsap- ariila will establish the merits ot this medicine as a blood purifier. Many thousands of people are _year- ly cured of chromic diseases by the taithrul use of this medicine. It is unequaled for the cure of scrofula. It might be in order for the dudes of the country to hold a mass meet- ing and determine the number and kind ot new “fads” to be put upon the country the coming season.
