CHUNKY TOWLES. Baair WattofoooB AasoSola ef sat flssV Tim atoataskjr OSBklac It is related of Chunky Towles, says Henry Watutrson in the Louisville Cou-rier-JournaL that in 1853, grown weary of trr.it:ng for the coming of the latest intelligence from the Kstional Demo cratic convention, then sitting in Balti more, he retired to his bed. An hour or two after tidings of the nomination of Franklin Pierce arrived, and Bamuel Hug!, (.'hunter's political guide, philoso pher and friend an earnest Democrat withal, and a gentleman of extensive knowledge proceeded at onoe to awek en the sleeping sportsman, "And who in tSnnif Franklin Pierce?" savs C. . . . uy, says Mr. fingg, "Franklin Pierce is the son of General Kcnjamin Iierse of revolutionary fame. He was a distinguished Representative end Senator in Congress from Kew Hampshire; he was offered a seat in ill. 'Polk's cabinet and de clined it; and he fought gallant ly in Mexico - as the youngest and most brilliant of Kew England's I!ngadi"n!" "In that ease,' says Chunky, with decision, "I'll get np and dress." De did so, and came down to the City Hotol. in front of which a good ly company was enjoying the summer night in uiMjusainfr the news. As Chunky approached a leading Whig exclaimed: "Here is Chunky Towles now, and I'll vet him one hundred dollars be never heard of Franklin I'ioree in bis life, and can't toll who he is, or where he's from." Chunky pansed a moment, gased eom psssionatelr upon his interlocutor, and then, with an air of composure and authority, said; "Put np your pocket book, Colonel. It ain't good sporting rules to win on a certainty. Franklin Pierce, sir, is a son of General Benjamin Pierce, of revolutionary fame. Be was a distinguished Representative and Senator from New Hampshire. He was offered a seat in Mr. Polk's Cabinet and declined it. And be served gallantly in Mexico as the youngest and most brib liafit of New England's Brigadier. Bo is the very men we wanted.

Occasionally he meets a venerable person who laughed at hi )okes and grimaces nearly fifty year sco, and who recalls his grand old edu cated hone Exoehuor, var which Dsn himself has shed many tear. One day United State justioe shook hand with him on the rear of is Broadway car. "Unci fan," said the justice, "you dont know me, and this is the first time in my life that I have ever spoken to yon, but when I was a boy I crawled under your tent to see yon, got caught by a canvas, man, and had powdered resin sprinkled all over my hair."

"I never did anything worth doing by aoddent," he replied, "nor did any of my inventions come indirectly through aooident, except the phono graph, Ko; when I have fully decided that result is worth getting' I go ahead on it and make trial after trial until it comes. I have always kept strictly within the lines of commercial ly useful inventions. I have never had any time to put on electrical wonders, valuable simply as novelties to catch the popular fancy." And he named hi distinction some noted electricians who had made their reputations through the pyrotechnics of the pro fession. "What makes you work?" I asked, with real curiosity. "What impels von to this sonstant, tireless struggle? You have shown that you care com paratively nothing for the money it makes, and you have no particular en thusiasm in the attending fame." "I like it," he answered, after a mo ment of puzzled expression, and then he repeated his reply several times, as if mine was a proposition that had not occurred to him before. "I like it I dont know any other reason. You know some people like to collect stamps. Anything that I have begun is always on my mind, and I am not easy while away from It until It is fin ished. And then I hate it" "Hate it?" I asked, struck by his em phatic tones. "Yea," he affirmed, "when It Is all done and is a success I cant bear the sight of it I haven't used a telephone in ten years, and I would go out of my way any day to miss an incandescent light" WAS ALL BUSINESS sssaaat Wants Be Tooth Pulled With, at Any Cbargs far Sympathy. She was a mature woman, with high cheek bones, a dappled face and red hair, ssys the Chicago Herald. Fling ing aside her bonnet she got up into the dentist's chair, leaned her head back, opened her month, and pointed to a tooth on the lower jaw. "I wish you'd see what Is the matter with that grinder," she said. . "Yes. ma'am," replied the dentist in a sympathetic tone. "Has it beenrhurt- ing you long?" "Who said it had been hurting me?" "Beg pardon, ma'am. I inferred" "Well, yon dont need to infer any thing. If you're ready to look at that grinder, doctor, I'm ready to open my mouth again." And she opened it "The tooth, madam," he said, after a brief examination, "is a mere shell. I regret " "What occasion is there for you to re gret sny thing? Whose grinder is it?" "1 wss going to say it is too late to save the tooth. It is too far gone. If it's troubling you any it will have to come out" "Well, that's what I'm here for." "It will be hard to get hold of with the forceps and I am sorry to say it will hurt- "Does it hurt you to poll a custom er's tooth?" she demanded. "Of course not but" "Well, then, yon needn't feel sorry. I sm here on business. I don't need sny sympathy. Yank it out." The thoroughly-bumbled tooth artist wasted no more words. He produced s pair of ugly-looking forcepn ar.u ex tracted the offending molar wittiout de lay. "What's your bill?" inquired the woman. "Fifty cents." "That's the regular price, is it? You're not charging any thing for sym pathy?" "It is the regular price, madam," "Here's the money. Good-day!" After she had gone out of his office the dentist went and sat down by the front window to rest "If I had that woman's nerve," he said to himself, as be wstched her striding down the street "I could be an a.dernian and pwn a whole ward in less than three months." roar Very Qaser Pigs, William Hoffman, of Sebewaing, Pa., has four pigs thst beat any thing ever seen in that locality.
