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 Hint 111 Tombstones. ' Chicago Herald. A town in Connecticut has a lot con taining five graves, one in the center and the others near by at the four points of the compass. The center grave bears the brief inscription, "Our husband," while the others are inscribed, respect ively: "My I wife," "My II wife," "My III wife," "My IV wife.'r Infections File.

THE COWBOr'S MOTHER. How Broncho Bill IVent Home Alter Twenty Years Absence. Boston Herald. "When I struck Philadelphia," said Broncho Bill, one of the best known cowboys now traveling with the Wild West show, "I wanted to see my mother. l Knew sne was Aivur tnar, Dut 1 was blamed if I could ketch the exao' spot, an' it kind of stumped me. Didn't know what to do. One day a preacher feller that I bed knowed at Pine Ridere asrencv. Nebraska, came up to me when the after noon show was over. He had come east tn a. visit T tnm him 'hitif rn Imin' able to locate my mother, an he said he'd fix it all right. "bo away he goes an' finds some sort of a big book I think it was a register. Anynow, it nau my mot ner s name in, an' tne street an' number of her house. Yer bet I was glad. I told the boys an they nxed up right away goirr to see all fair, you know; that's the boys every time. v e took a car an rode away down into the cit y to Twelfth street, I think they called it. I left the boys there, an' asked a feller the way to Catharine street. 'Fifteen blocks,' ses he. 'Phew,1 says I. 'All right though; I guess I kin do" it' an' off I walked through the shops an' the people, an' the horses an' carriages, till 1 came to Catharine street. "Wall, I foun' the house an' I knocked at it, an' my mother opened the door. I hadn't seen her for twenty years not since I went west. bhe was sweepin out. an' had the broom in her hand, an' she started like, when she seen my cowboy dress, an' looked hard at me. I hed med up my mind to play off stranger, and tell her I was a friend of her son. Ses, I, 'Are vou Mrs. Irving?' 1 am, ses she, kinder chokin' like. and lookm' at me harder nor before. "Ses I, 'Wall, I'm from Pine Ridge agency, -Nebraska, an' 1 know your son Bill. He told me for to call on you.' "Ses she, chokin' agin, 'If you ain't my son l never nau one.'

'Yes, I am your son, mother,' I said; I am Bill.' She cried harder than ever then, an' on, never mind just what happened. e had so much to tell each other that I was late in getting to the show. .Next day I brought my wife to see mother, the same as I'd promised. My brothers and sisters was in an' waitm' for me, an' didn't we have the durn'dest time? So glad to see me they didn't know what to do.

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 dress. Pieodo Gallicism. Exchange. A prominent clergyman complains that the prevailing mania for what is French In art, science and literature is under mining the character of the American people. He says: "The Anglo-Saxon character inherited by Americans irom English ancestors is gradually giving way to a species of pseudo Gallicism which may become dangerous not only to morality, but to our political institutions and domestic life. The asylum for the insane is further from the plow than it is from the rich man's gold, or the honored man s fame. 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 The fact "is, nature can't be im proved upon. She may be assisted, though; and in that direction lies the application of the florist s art. e 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. FBOM THE COBFOBAL. " From the Marine Barracks. Pensacola. Florida, Corporal Ben Barger writes of the benefits of Brown's Iron Bitters in that malarious region. He says: "I have used several bottles and must say I am greatly benefited by using it.

The Peor Treated Free of Charge, (From the Daily Exchange.) Magnetism is a subtile power which has . -. . . - . . - - . . 1 ,J snapea tne destiny oi many oi me wunu heroes. It is a power which attracts indi viduals to earn other and binds with invis ible, yet resistless but gentle fetters the hearts of those who come within its matic 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 at No. 113 Stockton street, whose mastery of stubborn diseases is remarkable. These gentlemen abjuring the tricks and jug glery that have made their imitators fa mous, if not infamous, are quietly and without ostentation winning fame and golden honors commensurate to their great skill and scientific attainments Their offices are daily thronged with the sick, who, havinsr heard of the wonders they perform, offer themselves for the treatment, which those who have preceded them have found so permanently benefi cial.

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.

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."
