Joggles hasn't been around for some time, but he showed up yesterday afternoon, and says Joggles, says he, "Fve been down there by the engine house aloDg with Jimmy Hare looking at them boys walking on that tight rope and falling in the water,and it reminded me of a little suckum stance that happened about thirty year ago at a place called Canton, on the Mississippi, 'bout twenty miles above Hannibal, Mo. There wuz a minister a baptizin' a lot of niggers out a little ways from shore. Niggers wuz niggers them days, it bein' befo' de wah, and a likely young darkey wuz worth S1.000 or $1,200. "Well, there wuz a lot of 'em; the old parson stud 'bout up to bis middle and dipped 'em as they come along, they wading out, baptized 'n happy. Presently 'long come a big buck nig ger, 'an the minister, being weakly like, the darkey dropped out of his hands. Just then along come the Harry Johnson, on her way from St. Louis to Keokuk; you remember how them old side-wheelers used to make wave3. A big wave come along and sucked the darkey into deep water. He come to the surface and struck out, and after considerable puffin' and blowin' aad pantin', he got to shore. "Ez he passed me he looked over towards the parson and says to him self, kind of, 'Some one will lose a fifteen hundred dollar nigger yet wif di3 yere damn foolishness.' " THE LADIES DELIGHTED. The pleasant effect and the perfect safety with which ladies may use the liquid fruit laxative, Syrup of Figs, un der all conditions make it their favorite remedy. It is pleasing to the eye and to the laste, gentle, yet effectual in acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels. Some Remarks From His Honor. A newly elected justice of the peace not a thousand miles from Milford, says the Milford, (111.,) Herald, de livered the following charge to the jury the other day: "Gentlemen of the jury Charging a jury is a new busi ness to me, as this is my first case. You have heard all evidence in the case, as well as myself; you have also heard what the learned" counsel have said. If youbelieve what the counsel for the plaintiff has told you, your verdict will be for the plaintiff; but if, on the other hand, you believe what the defendent's counsel has told you, then you will "give a verdict for the defendant. But if you are like me and don't believe what either of them said, then I'll be d d if 1 know what you will do. Constable take charge of the jury." A WOMAN'S WAY. AStcrtliag BuIhom Proposition When Mrs. Fowlar, of 827 Ellis street! stopped In at a leading city druggist's to ask what effect Joy's Vegetable Sarsapa rllla, would have In dyspepsia and sick headaches, she was assured it would k Hove both.

Deae Sir: Notwithstanding my mis givings, Joy's Vegetablo Sarsaparilla did all that you promised.

A prominent businessman in this city, called upon to sign a hundred letters every day, will tell you that his signature never varies from the standard fixed by himself in the morn ing, and yet I know that that man will write for an hour with the enjoy ment of a writing master; interrupted by some person who irritates him, he will write for an hour with the heavy poking stick movement of a news paper man: interrupted again by a man who brings him good news, and his pen will slip over the paper with alight, unshaded line. Sometimes the whole signature is signed without raising the pen, again tlje same is written with great care at each initial. Taking the hundred letters, no man could swear that they were signed by the same maxx. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Electric Bitters.

In days of old certain patriots bold, When England grew pedantic, Unfurled to the gale tho Mayflowers sail And ferried o'er tho Atlantic. On Plymouth Rock was landed the stock, With modest oriflamiue, Who framed the state we perpetuate, Entitled our Uncle Sam. Our freedom achioved, was there con ceived, The first known "Yankee notion," Of the "Lion" born and the "Unicorn," Bat on this side the ocean. The infant grew, as infants do, Into a youthful nation, When the English yoke began to choke, And it cried for emancipation. Then England thought, as England ought "We're losing by relaxation;' We'll keep them down by oppression's frown And the grinding heel taxation." So she sent o'er the sea a cargo of tea, With a deal more tax than cargo, Which so raised the ire of the patriot sire He placed on that ship his embargo. Those patriots bold, so we are told, Didn't like tax in their tea, So they threw it away in Boston Bay, For the mermaids down in the sea. Then John Bull fain would cross the main To stop this Yankee row. Ha cared not a jot for the patriot He's more respectful now. But Washington George the man in charge, Before he began to strike, Held up his saber and said: "Kind neigh bor, Whichever end you like." And what, think you, was the choice of the two? This stubborn English John Preferred the blade the mistake he made Was proved to him anon. They served him right ou Charleston height; Like the story of "Jack and Jill," He came tumbling down and broke his crown At the foot of Buukor Hill ! Like herds of cattle they came into battle At Lexington, Monmonth, Yorktown; But always, 'tis said, they dropped their bread, Which fell with the butter side down. His lordship fine thought he would dino On Yankee tenderloin; But the very first fight took the appetite And the sword of this Lord Burgoyne. So one hot July day John Hancock did say To a large Continental attendance; I've a Yankee notion to make a motion For Declaration of Independence. I thought about Writing one out In the form of a "Thanatopsis"; 'Tis too long, indeed, for one to rend, So I'll give you a short synopsis, When, in human events, with good intents, Two nations are tired of sticking; If one has the grit to make the split, There's no use in the other's kicking. We may be the scion of the "British Lion"- But listen to my harangue, The American crew will lot 'em know We oan run our own shebang. This striped rag is our own flag, And floats m our own breezes: And England may stay across the b:y And do as she "uurneu" pleases. That great Declaration mnde by the na tion Tells the reason why, With great demonstration and more ( perspiration, i We celebrate Fourth of July. i THE NATION'S BIRTHDAY. july 4. 1889. Wake her with the voice of cannon nive her colors to the morn! Make the day fight glorious that saw the nation bern: Born to b life supernal like tho bird of storied fame From the ashes of dead empires springs her altar's sacred flame. How bright the skies above her! How fair her broad domains! How rich the warm life current that courses through her veins! Her young brow fronts the nations with a promise half divine, From the frozen hills of Norway to the land of oil and wine. And Teuton, Celt and Saxon, cowed down with toil and care, With longing eyes look westward and bless her unaware. Wake her with the voice of cannon fling her colors to the breeze, From her mountains and her cities and her ships upon the seas, And wreathe her shrine with garlands and crown her brows with bay, 'Tis tbe nation's centenary 'tis Free dom's natal day. The ladies of the Rescue club and W. C. T. U. will serve ice-cream, cake and lemonade, as previously announced, in Capt. Flavel's building, (one of those lately occupied by M. C.
