FISHING.
Ella. Wheeler Wilcox in New York Sun. J
Uavbe this is fun. sittine in the sun.
With a book and parasol, as nij angler
While he dine his line in the ocean brine.
Under the delusion that his bait will catch
the fishes.
Tis romantic ves! but I must confess
Thoughts of shady rooms at home somehow
seem more inviting.
But I dare not move. "Quiet, there, my
love "
Says my angler, "for I think a monstrous
fish is biting."
Oh. of course, it's bliss still how hot it is!
And the rock I'm sittine on grows harder
everv minute.
While my fisher waits, trying various baits.
But the basket by his side, I see, has noth
ing in it.
It is just the way to pass a July day
Arcadian and sentimental, dreamy, idle,
charminc
But how fierce the sunlight falls, and the way
that insect crawls
Along my neck and down my back is really
quite alarming.
"Any luck? I gently asked of the angler at
his task,
"There's something pulling at the line," he
' said; "I've almost caught it"
But when, with a blistered face, we our
homeward steps retrace,
We take the little basket just as empty as
we brought it.
CHARACTERISTICS OF CLERKS.
Peculiarities of the Different Kinds
as Noted by an Observer.
New Haven Register.
How diftk'ult it is to distinguish them
from proprietors until you are used to it.
Then it is eay. Proprietors wear
clothes that clerks wouldn't be seen
wearing to sift ashes in. At the start,
however, clerks always speak of them
selves as "salesmen." They have a faint
idea that the latter is a dictionary word
and means something.
The king clerk is the "floor walker."
He is a drum major without bearskin
cap or baton, and fills an important po
sition in an important manner. Poor
humanity always feels its kuees quake
when before his awful presence, until he
says "show these ladies them hose," and
it is proved that he is but mortal.
The active clerk shows all the goods
in his department, talks a steady stream
and wears a customer out. lie makes
few sales and doesn't stay long in a
place.
The listless clerk, with drooping eyes
and pale necktie, drops his goods on the
counter in a don"t-care-a-tive sort of
way, wearied by the exertion, and the
customer trades with him because he is
so refreshingly lazy.
The average clerk comes up town in
the morning the very ideal of spick-span
newness. He is fresh every day, his
collar and shirt front are just from the
smoothing iron, his clothes are molded
to bis form, and his hair looks as if his
good, kind grandmother had slicked it
down with bear's grease. He is a daisy.
The poorly dressed clerk. There are
no facts in regard to this nonenity.
The "masher" as a clerk. He is en
gaged because of his superlative attrac
tion to silly women, who call on him
every day and buy some little knick
knacks in order to bask in the sunshine
of his radiant and charming smile.
The genial clerk, a man who is always
too good for his position, and a positive
addition to a well-regulated establish
ment. One clerk of this sort is worth
a whole store full of average clerks. He
sells goods before you know you have
bought them.
The genuine business man sometimes
begins life as a clerk, and he pushes out
of the position in an amaJring hurry.
The lady clerk. Who would be so
ungallant as to say she is not interest
ing. She is. Gentlemen always like to
trade at the counter where she presides,
and she is usually assigned to a depart
ment where they are sure to come on
little errands. Ladies, on the contrary,
do not like to purcnase ot ner, ana it is
noticeable that she is seldom in the dry
goods department.
There are a ereat many varieties of
clerks: drug clerks, grocery clerks, and
ten thousand others. They are the
ornamental and somewhat useful mile
posts on the highways of business. They
seem to be a necessity, but why they
should carry the world in its entirety on
their shoulders and superintend the
progress of the planets on their orbits is
a mystery.
Vanity's Recruits for tbe Stage.
London Era.
There can be no doubt that vanitj'
sheer, shallow vanity is at the bottom
of this rage for the stage, which a comic
contemporary has aptly designated "The
Fashionable Craze." Young men and
women of the upper classes do not rush
in equal number, or with equal eager
ness to adopt the profession of the
painter, the sculptor, and the poet. And
why? Because these professions at their
commencement demand patient, mdefat
jgable drudgery in private, only sup
ported bjr the real enthusiasm for the
work which sustains the genuine artist
under so many disappointments. Even
supposing them to be successful, where
are they to be employed? Will not all
the London theatres, and all the touring
companies combined, be too small to
furnish engagements for the army of as
pirants which is now in course of beinc
recruited.
bcnoois oi dramatic art, private acade
mies and a host of agents are encourag
ing a vast number of young people to
prepare themselves, for a profession
which is already over-stocked, and
which practically unfits them, should
they prove unsuccessful in it, for adopt
ing any other. Already there are signs
tnat tne theatrical business, both in Lon
don and the provinces, has been a trifle
- overdone of late. Is there not some
danger of the supply of neophytes ex
eeeaing tne demand i w m not the re
sults be a rarity of engagements for the
ordinary artist, long periods of idleness,
and a host of applications for assistance
to the actors' benevolent fund? Certainly
those who are casting all these young
men and women on the boards ought
to be very liberal in their support of
that institution, and should pay their
poor-rates with exemplary regularity.
It is rather unfair that the contributions
of artists and managers, should go to the
assistance of a mob of genteel new
comers who have rushed to dependence'
on the workhouse, because it is the
"fashion.' t

A 3leetln ot Royalty.
Weisbaden Cor. Boston Transcript
As we drove to the station we passed
an old lady being wheeled m an invalid
chair bv a hotel porter. She looked
aged, ill, and was plainly attired. I
cast a pitying thought after herewith
the hope that she was blessed with
friends. This same lady we saw later in
the station, still in her chair, and bend
ing over her, kissing her, caressing her,
and talking to her most affectionately.
was a handsome, stately, middle-aged
woman, with a step like a gin s and a
figure lithe and fine a woman full of
animal spirits and brio. This was the
empress of Austria, Elizabeth, the most
famous of royal horse women, who may
be said to live on her horse.
laiking down to tne old lady was a
sweet-raced, dignined woman with a
most winning presence the princess of
Wales and behind her, her royal
mother, the queen of Denmark. The
empress of Austria was richly dressed
in black silk, with a large hat in which
were many long gray plumes, and the
princess was most simply attired, in a
close-fitting bonnet and dark stuff gown.
The old lady was grand duchess of some
thing, I've forgotten what, and the royal
tram had rested on its way to Darmstadt,
at Ueidelburg, that she might receive the
greetings of these friends. The
prince and princess of Wales
and the king and queen of Denmark
are yet at Wiesbaden for the waters,
living in a simple fashion, that some
American millionaires would scorn.
The empress of Austria was here for
several weeks, off on her horse before
other guests were awake, and visiting
all the neighboring towns in this man
ner. In the train of royal carriages
belonging to this empress is one carriage
for her horses, and all of these carriages
are in polished black wood with simple
gold moldings and the Hapsburg arms
in gold. It was a beautiful train, and
the demonstrative affection, the simple,
unconscious graciousness of these royal
personages were very pleasant to see,
and my mind was quite relieved as to
the sick old lady's possessing friends.
A Despot's Novel Safe.
Chicago Herald.
The emporer of Anam uses a largo
and deep pond of water as a safe for
money and valuables. The money not
intended for use is placed in the hol
lowed out trunks of trees, which are
thrown into the water. To keep away
thieves and prevent the king himself
from being tempted to draw upon the
reserve and without sufficient cause, a
number of crocodiles are kept in the
water, their presence and the certainty
of being eaten alive acting as a whole
some restrainer and insuring the security
of the royal treasure in a most effectual
manner.
Galatea's Drapery.
San Francisco Argonaut.
-Mrs. Langtry s ualatea drapery is
nothing more nor less than a pink mus
lin washed m suds till some ot the rose
came out of it, ' and then (in washer
woman's parlance) "rough dried." It is
even more than the usual rough dry, for
it is not taken out of the wringing folds.
It is because of Ihese folds that Mrs.
Langtry looks more like a pRster cast of
the Galatea than a mushed marble till
you reach the silvered neck-run oi ner

HUo W-; tbe First Volunteer? "
ew York Times. 1
A long-standing and generally ac
knowledged claim by Capt. W.W. Bush,
of Lockport, that he was the first person
to volunteer in the Union army in 1861
has been successfully disputed by Col.
T. J. Kennedy, of Auburn. Capt.
Bush's claim was made on the fact that
he had been anticipating the call for
troops by President Lincoln after the
firing on Fort Sumter and had not k-ft
the telegraph office in Lockport in ex
pectation of momentary news of the
call. At noon on April 15 the news
that the President had issued the call
for trocps was received. Bush ran at
once to his place of business.
drew up an enlistment roll
and signed it. He then proceeded
to enlist others. He raised a company,
was made captain, and went to the front
with the first troops. This fact has been
a source of much pride to Capt. Bush,
and has made him widely known.
Col. Kennedy, of Auburn, sets up the
claim that as early as November, 1880,
seeing that an armed struggle between
the north and the south was inevitable,
he urged the immediate enlistment of
men to bo drilled in anticipation of a
call for troops. In January, 1861, he
applied to Governor Morgan for author
ity to enlist a company, and his applica
tion was placed on file Jan. 17. He did
not wait to receive the authority, but
proceeded to enlist men. When Fort
Sumter was fired on, April 12, 1861, ho
had 15 men under drill. He offered
the services of himself and men to the
state the same day, and the same day
his enlistment roll, his name being the
first one upon it, was received and en
tered in the adjutant general's office.
There were too many men for one com
pany, so a full company was selected
trom them and became Company C of
the Nineteenth regiment, N. Y. S. V.,
of which regiment Kennedy was made
colonel. The remainder of the men ho
enlisted were distributed among other
companies. The claim made by Col.
Kennedy is supported bv records of the
state. That Capt. Bush was the first
volunteer under the call of President
Lincoln for troops, however, there is
probably no doubt.
Giving Artificial Colors to Flowers.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
"In order to meet the demand for new
varieties of the rose, artificial hues may
be given to them by means of a coloring
matter placed at the root, said a Mil
waukee norist, out it is by no means a
recognized practice of the trade. There
is an easier way of imparting an artifi
cial color to a rose where it is desired
to produce an odd effect, and that is to
dip the stem of a freshly-cut flower into
a liquid dye. If you put a freshly-cut
rose into blue ink, for instance, the ink
will ascend through the stem into the
flower and impart a curious blue tinge
to the petals. But the effect thus se
cured is an effect of oddity, no beauty

can get a rich deep color and a vigorous
owth in roses by judiciously applying
strong manure to the plants. e use
bone dust, or guano, or cow manure in
liquid form. We have tried all kinds of
manures, and we find these simple ones
the best.
"The matter of their application like
everything connected with the rearing of
plants is one of experience. .No quantity
or quality ot fertilizer is a substitute tor
careful treatment. We have to study
the different varieties and find out the
conditions under which each thrives best,
After having discovered these it is our
business to observe them. We have had
first-rate success with our Jacqueminot
roses this season, whiie many others have
not done so well. I attribute our sue
cess to the fact that we started ours at
exactly the right time. I think it
possible that roses could be shaded to
some extent by the application of colors
to the roots, but great care would have
jo be used, as most dyes would likely to
interfere with the thrift of the plant and
some might kill it. But 1 don t think
the thing would be worth wl ile, even if
it were successful. .Nature is the best
artist after all."
At Niagara Falls.
Sir Lepel Griffin's Book.
On the whole, and always expeeting
the Chicago pig shambles, I am disposed
to think Niagara the sight best worth
seeing in America, though I will never
return there until the paper, mill shall
have been moved. I will not attempt to
lescribe the indescribable and would
merely note for the benefit of future
travelers that the effect of Niagara is as
follows: On the first day it is distinctly
diappomtmg; the roar of the waters is
not so loud, the fall so high or the cur
rent so fierce as was imagined. On the
second day this natural though irra
tional disappointment has been gradu
ally and unconsciously swallowed up by
the waterfall, which has become omni
present, tremendous, and soul-absorbing.
On the third day Niagara has gTown a
monster so oppressive to soul and sens
that the visitor hurries from the plac
with the feeling that another day's com-
munig with the waters would make
him mad.
"Hangman Foote."
Ben: Perley Poore.
Senator Foote. of Mississippi, was
what the Virginia darkeys used to call a
puddin -stick, never letting an oppor
tunity pass for stirring up angry pas
sions. On one occasion, when Senator
John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, had
dared to advocate emancipation in the
District of Columbia and elsewhere, Mr.
Foote said: "If the senator from New
Hampshire will visit the good state of
Mississippi, where I have the honor to
reside, he will be received with hosannas
and shouts of joy. I invite him there.
and tell him in all honesty that he could
not go ten miles into the interior before
he would grace one of the tallest trees
of the forest, with a rope around his
neck, and, if necessary, I would assist
in the operation, mis won ior him the
sobriquet of "Hangman Foote."
During the war Ingersoll, Frye, and
a number of other officers, captured by
Forrest, were subjected to pretty rough
treatment. J. hey an stood it pretty
well except Frye, who was older than
the others and in danger of breaking
down. Ingersoll wrote a letter to For
rest, putting in an eloquent plea for
Frye and asking that he be paroled.
Forrest was so touched by the letter
that he consented to the immediate ex
change of the whole crowd.

may rest assured they all think it is the

heroes. It is a power which attracts indi
viduals to earn other and binds with invis

spell. Who has not felt the influence of
this unseen force when brought in contact
with men possessed of health, vitality and
genial manners, wno exert an lnexpucttuie
attraction that wins respect and friend
ship? Health and vigor are inseparable
from it. It is a power for good when prop
erly exerted. Animal magnetism is a mys
terious aerent employed by some men in
the successful treatment of disease. When
combined with the medical skill and expe
rience, magnetism is a powerful factor in
the mastery of many disorders. Its ad
vantages are that physical ailments are
cured without the use of medicines, which
too often remove one disease only to ira
plant another scarcely less injurious. Un
fortunately, though, for the afflicted, im
posters are so plentiful that the percentage
is largely against success in the search for
relief. Every large city has its quota of
fraudulent pretenders, local ana importer,
and San Francisco is no exception to the
rule in this direction. We have been vis
ited by many of this class, whose coming
has been heralded bv the bold assumption
of miraculous powers, blazoned in public
print and upon dead walls in flaming char
acters. These have come, strutted their
brief hour among us. deluding the edu
cated and intelligent, and bamboozling the
ignorant: and. departing, have carried
with them the coin and anathemas of
their deluded victims. Happily there are
those who, possessing all the attributes to
success, milieu wim a. uiuruuKU Knowl
edge of physical laws and the nature and
treatment of disease, come to us, and
modestly place themselves and attain
ments in the way of the afflicted who may
need their valuable services. Such as these
secure the gratitude of an extensive cli
entele and receive a merited reward in
pecuniary compensation for their skillful
services.
Of such are the Drs. Darrin, now located

of stubborn diseases is remarkable. These

PAPILL0N CATAEEH CUES
Has received the commendation of thousands
afflicted with that dreadful disease, Catarkii.
It is a poBitiTfj cure, and so pleasant to use, that
when once applied, the effect is so apparent,
that the treatment is continued with confidence.
It does not smart or irritate, but soothes and
heals.
K. M. IIorton, car accountant of the I. C. It.
R., writes, under date of Nov. 19. 1877: 'Tapil
lon Catarrh Cure, cured me of an obstinate of
fensive catarrh of fifteen years' standing."
Jno. V. Stkkkterv M. D., 30 Aldine Square,
Chicago, writes July 15, 1881: "I'aniUon Catarrh
Cure, cured nie of mjr recurring Kobe Cold in
a few days. I have suffered for years, tried
every remedy I knew without benefit; finally
tried this remedy and the effect surprised me.
I shall prescribe it for Kobe Cold, Catarrh
and Hay Fjcver, being confident it will cure."
James H. Cook, 12 Itockvills I'laoe, Itoston.
Mass., wTitea Sept. 11 1881: "Papillon Catarrh
Cure cured me of catarrh after all kinds of rem
edies had failed. I insufflated a few days and
must say the disease commenced to cure at
once."
Peter O. Thompsox, 179 Vine Street, Cincin
nati, O.. writes Sept 10, 1881: "I'apillon Catarrh
Cure cured me of hay fever. 1 have recom
mended it to a great many, and all have been
benefited wonderfully."
I'apillon Catarrh Cure is purely vegetable,
and is a positive cure for catarrh, rose cold and
hay fever.

The experience in the treatment of Cancer with Swift's
Specific (8.8.H.) would seem to warrant us in saying that
it will cure this much dreaded scourge, l'ersues so
afflicted are invited to correspond with us.
I believe 8wift's Specific has saved my Ufa I had vir
tually lost use of the upper part of my body and my
arms from the poisonous eifects of a large cancer on my
neck, and from which I bad suffered for twenty years.
8. 8. 8. has relieved me of all soreness, and the peisou
is being forced out of my system. J will soon be well.
W. Ii. Kobibom, Davis boro, Oa
Two months ago mr attention was called to tbe case
of a woman afflicted with a cancer on her shoulder at
least Ave incites in circumference, angry, painful, and
fving tbe patient no rest day or night I r six months,
obtained a supply of Hwift's Specific for her. bhe bas
taken ft bottles and the nicer is entirely healed op, only
a very small scab remaining, and her health is better
than for 5 years past; seems to be perfectly cured.
Bzv. Jeshb U. Campbell, Columbus, Ca
I hava ssxn remarkable results from use of Swift's
Ppecinc on a canoer. A young man here has been
afflicted five years with the most angry-looking eating
canoer I ever saw, and was nearly aead. The first bot
tle made a wonderful change, and after five bottles were
taken, he is Dearly or qui te well. It is truly wonderful.
