Tilt' Farmers Pfst. lint a Very Kntcrlcinins Animal When we spe.ik of ophers in Gcoraia, Mabama, and southern FJordia, says tin- Camilla (La.) Claritnt, we don't mean what are railed fiophers bohveon the "Hocky .Mountains and the Mississippi. The irophers there arc .salamanders, or ground Kits. Nor do wo. mean the pr.iirit squirrels which are called gophers! in Illinoir-. We mean our Miu-enomih iopiu.'is. These high land loggerhead turtles that burrow in tin- ground ami come out of thoir secure abodes to feed upon grass and herbs. Their book name is testudo polyphcmus. If the original old Cy clops Polyphemus was as ugly as his modern namesake, wc don't blame Ulysses for putting his eye out. The farmers of this M'clion would not care if the Greek hero would come back and put out the eyes of all the poiypnemus race, ror wnen ineir home h in or near a Held they arc very destructive toyoung cotton, corn and peas. When nroperlv prepared the flesh j of the gopher is very palatable, very little, if at all, inferior to that of tho ttti tic. The negroes are fond of them, and hunt them with a long pole with the hook ot a steelyard fastened to the end. They feel for tho gopher in his long hole in the ground, in which he dwells, and draw him out with the hook. Very frequently those holes are so crooked that a pole cannot fol low its winding. A very common device for catching these "marauders is to bury an open candle or starch box at the mouth of the gopher hole. The box is left open, and, strange to say, when the clumsy old fellow comes out, which he will do once or twice a day in the summer and spring, he will tumble right in, and then can't get out. Strancers to the ways of this wonderful animal are slow "to believe that he is such a suicide. But his ways are curiou3. Dr. Bruce, of Hainbridge, says that one of the first things he learned after coming to this section from Virginia was not to bet on gophers. He .was boarding with Mr. Peabody, who had a field of corn and peas on new ground near town. The old gentleman complained terribly of the gophers, and one morning at the breakfast table said he was going to catch one which was doing him special damage. "How are you going to catch him, Mr. Pea body?" said the young doctor. "I am going to bury a box at the mouth of his den, sir and about eleven o'clock he will come out to feed and will tumble in, and I will have him." The young Virginian laughed at the idea '-111 bet you $1 a gopher is not that big a fool", "said he. "Good," said the old gentleman, and the money was put up. The box was duly set at the mouth of the gopher hole, and both gentlemen went on about their business down town. A little past eleven o'clock Dr. Bruce remembered the bet and slipped off down to the Hold to see for himself. "I'll be hanged if the old fool wasn't in tiie box, sure enough. I then put him back in the hole, and with a long pole 1 pushed him down as far as I could, giving him all the hard thrifts I thought necessary to make him stav there. I then went back tlown-town and hunted Mr. Pea body, who had forgotten all about the gopher, until J reminded htm that it was past the gopher's dinner hour. 'Sure enough,' said he, 'come and go with me ; 1 want my dollar.' Mr. l'eabod, I'll bet you "another dollar yon don't get him.' 'Good; I'd rather win two than one.' "When we arrived at the gopher's hole I'll be banged if he wasn't in the box again. 1 lost my money, and make it a rule never to bet on a gopher." It will not do to bet on anything about them, except that they can run faster than anything in the shape of them on earth. They hibernate in their burrows, and how long thej- can live witnout food is a question yet unsolved. Lol. .1. K. Bacon tells 01 one which was placed on his back on a stump by an old planter, in Liberty County, and left there to die. Just twelve months afterward the gentle man passed that way, and there was his gopher, still alive. Yet the Florida people say that if put on their backs in the hot sand they will die in a few moments. Mr. J. B. Collins tells of one which was shut up under a chimney for seven years, and was known to remain alive without food all that time. A negro man in his neighborhood kept one shut up for four years. Almost a Personal Allusion. A fat old man was spread out over four seats on a Texas train. At a small station a tall lady wearing a sunbonnet entered tho car. Tho old fat man pretended that he did not see her, but a gentleman just behind the fat man who took up so much room, politely removed his grip-sack, and she sat down, thanking him for his attention. She did not sav any thing for a minute or so. Then she snapped her eyes and remarked to the gentleman who had given her the seat, at the same time glancing in the direction of the corpulent old gentleman : "You can't rely on what you read in the farm journals nowadays." "Are they so unreliable?" " Yes," she replied, glancing over her shoulder at the fat old man; I read in one of them the other day that the average age of a hog is only fifteen years." The old gentleman grunted. Texas Siftines. , Men. Thomas iJailey Aldrich is a blonde and wears his mustache with the ends pointed a la Francais. uev. sam .iones says lie never rode with a girl in a tight-hquec7.e buggy. He has missed lots of fun. Novelist Crawford has a very flexi ble baritone voice, but he dosen't mention that fact in his "Homnn Singer." David Davis has lost about 100 pounds in weight since his marriage. It is rumored that his skin now sets on him in Mother Hubbard dress style. Beecher denies that he ever stole apples while a boy, but it is said that ho maintains a suggestive silence when the conversation turns on watermelons. Senator Vance's summer recrea tion consists of having old-fashioned los-rollings and chopping-bees on his Black Mountain farm. But log-rolt-ing is not far removed from politics, and chopping-bees involve axes to grind, remarks a well-posted poli tician. New York Journal. "'vil Spirits and Evil Names. Chinese parents aro afraid to give their children the fine, high-sounding names their love suggests, lest the evil spirits, of whom they stand in constant fear, should come to under stand how precious they are, and cause some calamity to overtake them. And so you constantly meet with children answering to the names of Little Stupid, Vagabond Flea, Dirt of Spring Dog tho idea being that when the spirits hear the little ones called by such uncomplimentary names, they will imagine that the parents care very little for them, and will not take the trouble to molest them. Her Romantic Sonl Was Satisfied. A romantic New Hampshire girl was willing to mam a persistent lover, but wouldn't consent to the ceremony taking place anywhere but in a cave. As there was no cave within a radius of fifty miles they w ere forced to abandon" that project. In a happy moment the idea of a cellar marriage suggested itself to the young man. The idea was broached and accepted by the young lady and the wedding speedily fol lowed. Where He lrcw the ine. "No," said a Vermont deacon, "I don't approve of boss racin', but when another member of the church becomes so godless as to try to pass me on the road comin' home from meetin', I feel it my duty to the church to let out a leetle on the lines, just to keep him from puttin' his trust in earthly things." Troy Tress. "How sleep the brave?" asks a poet. This depends largely on the number of cats in the neighborhood. Waverly (O.) Mugwump. Mrs. K.

The liver is out of trder. Take Sim mons Lier Regulator. This unfailing specific for liver disease has restored more people to health and happiness than any other agency known on earth. No one can take the Regulator and re main long unwell. Itev. K. (I. Wilder, Princeton, X. J., says: -I find nothing helps 50 much to keep me in working condition as Simmons Liver Regulator.- The story that the site of Chicago was bought for a pair of boots is not surprising when we consider the size of the accepted boot in that locality. This probably gave rise to the remark .hat corporations have no soles. iLife. Wo hear a great deal in these spec ulative davs of lucky investments. Tho most luckv investment which a man could make would bo a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil. He would never be troubled with aches or pain, and conld devote his time to making money. Boston has been shocked by the discovery that Sitting Bull cats with his knife. A sage suggests that the Bostonians should take up a sub scription to send the greasy old savage to the Concord School of Philosophy to learn how to cat pie. Pre paring to Encounter Disease.

Dement & Co Ominous Prophecies 1SSO. Concerning Somebody has unearthed an old prophecy for the year 18S6, of a de cidedly uncomfortable nature. It appears that in the church of Ober emmel, near the city of Treveri, in Germany, there is a stone tablet some centuries old, on w Inch is cut , the prophetic verse in prose it may be rendered : When Mark shall bring us Easter and Anthony shall sing praises at 1 Pentecost, and John swing the censer at the feast of Corpus Domini, then shall tiie whole earth resound with weepings and waiiimrs. Now, it so happens that next year ! Easter lalls on St. Mark's day, rente cost on that of St. Anthony of Padua, and the Corpus Domini comes on St. John the Baptist's day, June 21. Here, then, are the first conditions of the prophecy fulfilled, so that now believers in prophecies and anxious minded persons generally have only to sit down and think of everything disagreeable that can possibly hap pen to this poor old planet and the t dwellers thereon, between January and December, 188G. And, really, if the cyclones and earthquakes and epidemics and "wars and rumors of war" of the years 18S2,So, 84, 80, are to be eclipsed, the prophecy is not ah agreeable one. Tired and Languid Womrn. How many women there are of whom these words are true: "They feel languid and tired, hardly able to bear their weight on their "feet, the bloom all gone from their cheeks, ir ratablo and cross without meaning to be, nerves all upset, worried with the children, fretted,over little things, a burden to themselves, and yet with co acute disease." "What a pity it is. But n few bottles of Parker's Tonic wiU drive all this away, and relievo the troubles peculiar to their sex. MARKETS. WYATT & THOMPSON.
