CHUNKY TOWLES.

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

Dan Bice, the old-time clown. Is pass,
ing his summer in New York, and looks
as young and fresh as aboy from school.
He lectures some nowadays, and knows
how to give an interesting talk, says th
Kew York World. 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." The justioe and tb
ex-clown had a gnat laugh over th in

"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."

William Hoffman, of Sebewaing, Pa.,
has four pigs thst beat any thing ever
seen in that locality. One has no trace
of hind legs, another has no hoofs, but
claws take the place of the generally
thought necessary porcine appendix,
and the two others have claws and toes

pigs can very handily get along with
