Ponitowaki insisted that he was nothing more than plain Poniatowski, without any ancestry worth speaking of; but at last he ac knowledged himeelf a direst descencant of the Polish line of kinge, and a Prince of Poland by birth., In making the dec- laration his deep black eyes sparkled brilliantly, and, his friends say, he look- ed every inch a klng. He al.o produced a number cf papers and records in proof of his identity, which, upon examina- tion, it is sald, proved clearly and unmis takably his real rank and position. Soon after this s became tired of his work among the cows, and he so Informed his employer, who tried to dlesuads him from throwing up the work, but without any success, About three weeks ago he informed Dr, Patterson that he was going to Athens, Ga., where, le said, he had secured a better position, The next day he left for the south. A young friend of the prince, In con yersation with an American reporter yes- terduy, said: ‘““Poniatowski Is a fit ex- ympathy terson, determi : trial 1 ample of the ill-treated and easlaved Poles. Heis one of the brightest fel. lows [ over met; speaking six langusges, he is fit to urace any court. He has often told me Lis story, which is not only romantle, but even thrilling, After the war between Russia and Poland, his father was banished to Siberia for some alleged Polish conspiracy. His mother, with the prince, then an infant in arms, heroine that she was, refused to be separated from her husband, and accompanied him info that bleak and dreary county. As might have been expected, her dellcate constitution soon gave way, and she died an exile from home and friends. The father, although subjected to the most cruel treatment, kept his health and worked like a cominon laborer with the other prisoners. I have often heard him recount his father's exparlences in those awful mines; how he arosc before day- break and worked in the damp and cold from 6 until 6, with three excu:es for the meanest lunch, mlscalled mesls. Nor wasa this all; for if he made the slightest complaint, he was either flogged or re- quired to fast, sometimes for an ontire day. Thus mary years were passed, during which tlme Thaddeus, who re- malned voluntarily with his father, grew to be quite a handsome younz man, One day father and son arranged their escape. They disguised themselves ss peasants, and after some difficulty succeeded in getting safely cut of the settlement, For days they traveled in the snow stopping here and there for a morsel of food that barely kept them from starving. The only serious obstactes they met with were the fierce wolves prowling about the woods. They were obliged to use the most extreme caution, lest they be torn to picces by the savage animals. Ac cordingly, they kept as much to the main road as possible, and concesled them- selves at the slightest indication of a growl or & bark, Footsore and weary, they a% last arrivel ata Ruseian port, where they shipped as sallors and sai'ed for Germany. Soon after theic arrival there the fither died, leaving young Thaddeus alone in the world, Atter roamiry around the contivent for a year or two, the young prince came to Ameri- ca, landing in New York about slx years ago. From that city he came to Balti- more, where he trisd to obtain work, and failing In that, went to the Patterson farm, whera he remained until his de- parture for Athens a few weeks ago. While in Baltimore county he met quite a number of young ladics, many of whom fell deeply in love with him. I have not heard from him since his departure, but I expect to in a few days.” A Telephone at ¥ Paris dispatch to the London nes, n the eavirons of Kairwan, the holy city, there is a keeper of a kouba, or shrine, who has Introduced the tele phone, or is about to do 8o, into the ex- ercise of his functions in asiogular and unexpested manner. To understnad the story it must be explained that this keoper is of French origln—belonging to a good Normau family of Bouen, I be- lteve—and the son of a minister of state under the monarchy. Ho is 0 years of age, and has passed through the most curlous experiences. Ho was oncea priest of the Premonstrants, whosc prin- cipal monastery is near Avignon, and known as the Couvent de Frigolet. It be remembered that, on the execution of the anti-clerical decrees, Gen. Billot was obliged to lay sioge to this monastery, and the clerical revenged themselves on him by nicknaming him, ““Dac de Frigo- lot.” Our keeper of the kouba, after leaving the Frigolet monastery, became a trap- pist at the Abbey of Staonelll, in Algeria. After a time he left the abbey and proceeded to Tunls, where he turned Mussulman, and settled at Kairwan, where he lived until the entry of the French Into Tunis. He rendered at the tlme some service to his native country, and was invested with the charge of a koubs, tligh'ly owlng, I be- lieve, to French ihfluence, He speaks Arabic admirably, preaches on the Koran with great unction, and cnjoys renown for his great witdom among the Arabs The very intelligent French minister resident, M., Cambon, has probably not neglected to cultivate him and take ad- vantage of his Influence In the intsrests of his country. However, for the pres: ent, the keeper of the kouba lives on the offerings of the believers who vislt the shrine, The revenues from such & source are necessarlly swall, and it has occarred to the ingenious Frenchman that a tele- phone might render him real service. As the Arab pllgrims come to consult the saint, the keeper s abour to install & telephone In the kouha, which will cou- vey to him in his chamber the questions put to the salnt and return his own re plies, Besides the material advantages which this mode of performing his min- {stry might bring him, Le knows that he would produce a deep and salutary im- pression on the minds of the faithful, for whom the modus operandi would long remain a dread myat:ry, This {s an instance of how inventlon otten produc ,\' resalts aud are sdapted to purposes which their inventors little dream of. How easily might one find an explana tion of many events at the dawn of his- tory which were held to be supernatural or marvelous? — Applied locally on the pain placa 8t Jacobs Oil cures at once.

The Globe can that good cows are always profitable cither in cream selling or butter making, and the farmer who lives ia reach of this, the best market in Towa, and does not keep good cows, simply lets a golden oppor tuni'y go by.

It is not claimed that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a_specific for rheumatism —we doubr if there is, or can be, such a remedy. But the thousands benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla, warrant us in urging others who suffer from rheumatiem to take it before the first keen twinge. —— Cure for Hog Cholera, The Massachusetts Ploughman. As this disease is making much trouble and loss in this state at this time, I thought perhaps it would not be oat of place for mo to state through your valu- able paper the result of an experiment made the last year, and continaing to the present time. In 1883 we had on our farm about seventy hogs, welghing from elghty pounds to 200 pounds, live weight. In the month of September they commenced to show unmistakable evidences of the disense, and asa result about fifty per cent. died, and this after preecribing all the known remedies that could be heard of. With this experience 1 was the better preparod for the return of the disease the next year. We commenced the season of 1834 with twenty-seven shoats weighing about 100 pounds each, di- vided into five different pens. In the month of Angust the disease appeared azain in its most violent form; in a pen of seven, one was found dead, and two more were unable to walk and eat. The symptoms were all of the cholera character. 1 immediately gave twenty drops of carbolic acid to each hog and continued this twice dally for two days. the slck ones recovered and no mcre was seen of tho trouble until October, when in another pen one was taken sick, fol- lowed immediately by three more. The same remedy was again resorted to and all recovered but one. From that time until all were butchered no more was seen of the disease, but an occaslonal use of the carbonic acid was had as a preven- tive. This winter, with a lot of seventeen, using no preventivo, the disease again made its appearance, but was immediately stopped by the same remedy. For a well-grown heg, 1 would give twenty drops; for one of less size I would glve loss, using it also occaslonally as a deodorizer about the trough and psn. —— A Profane Cadaver, The colored people of Lowndes county, Georgia, are somewhat myetified over the irregular proceedings cf a corpse, which refused the decent burial with which they were complimenting it. Craw Duncan had been for years a leader in colored politics, but he never took to religion, A few days azo he became violently ill, aud, going to bed, he was duly beset by weepicy sisters and zealous preachers, bat all to no purpose, When the time came he died, aud a large concourse of friends and acquaintances gathered to pay the last tribute to his memory. As 18 the custom among colored peo- ple, they sang over his bedy all night. The weird music that floated over the adjacent forest that night struck a responsive chord in the bosoms of the owls of baeser note, and they joined in the refrain, About mid night a little bird flitted in one door and out of the other. This caused the assem blage to go on Its knees, when tho leader declared that ‘‘sperits could not harm 'liglous folks,” and the singing was re- sumed. When daylight came the weary watch- ers detailed one equad to build a coftin and another to dig the graye. The rude casket was first completed and conducted to the proper place, It was put on two chairs, facing each other, beside the corpse. Frlends drew around to take a last look; psll-bearers put themselves in position to bear the burden to the grave; the coftin was held over the open grave. In an instant the lid went fiying off the coffin, and the dead man arose and cursed with all the exuberance of a man who had worked on & canal. The mourners scattered in every directlon; but the funny part of it is tney insist that he Is really dead, and will have nothing to do with him, —_— The Sacramento river puzzles the old inhabitants by its eccentric actions When it ishigh at a certain point it is quite low at all points lower down, and fods near its head are proof that there willnctbe & scarclty of water st its mouth, —— Harrison Haln, of Wind Gap, North hampton county, Pa., is the father of a two-yearold giil whose ears are bent forward and grown to the face.

Here he thought very hard for a long while, and glanced back appre- hensively at the men, who stared at him with all the visible signs of anger. The head waiter asked nim what he was standing around about, and the cooks laughed at kim, Then he came back very obsequlously and said: *‘You'll excuse me, gents,’but I didn’t quite get that order.” Upcen this the solemn man exhibited the most intense annoyance. ‘I told you elght distinct times,” he said, speaking very rapidly, while the others chorused in at intervals, ** to bring me rome stewed oysters fried on toasted half shells, with mushrooms and $2 worth of soap, along with some buck- wheat cakes frappe, mulligatawny soup with brass nails, half of a porterhouse chicken—" “Ye—ye-yesalr.” “And “paper collars edges " “Bat,” yelled the waiter, *““we haven't got ’em.” “‘Haven't gct oysters,” and the man jumped to his feet, ‘‘nor chickens, mnor toaet?
