Rifle Balls from the Louisville Courier-Journal. When Cincinnati hears how Louisville took the rag off the bush last night, she will want to buy our Mammoth Cave to crawl into and hide her shame. "The Bracken Record tells of a blackberry briar seventeen feet high, of a single year's growth." The story is a rather tough one, but if the Bracken Record is the same fellow who said he once saw a colt seventeen feet high, he'll stick to it. A Detroit paper thinks that champagne ought to be plentiful here next winter, as there is, it says, an orchard of 12,000 crab-apple trees laden with fruit in this country. We were under the impression that all the champagne in this country was made like that of Detroit—from turnips. There are now pending in the Superior Court at Indianapolis, as stated in these columns the other day, no less than sixty-five divorce cases. Such an attempt to imitate Chicago indicated a littleness of soul on the part of Indianapolis that was hardly to have been expected of a city of her age and standing in the community. Talk about outliving all love! In the bright lexicon of youth, and in the sombre dictionary of age, there is no such word. Mr. William Shannon, of Barren county, aged eighty-two, was recently married to a widow lady of eighty-one. Oh, there's nothing half so sweet in life as love's young dream, whether it be dreamed at eighteen or eighty-one or two. Gen. Tchoutchowassove, the Russian cavalry commander, must have been a man of some genius. No mere fool could ever have dragged such a name as his up to the position of General of cavalry. But to an officer at the head of an army there is a wonderful convenience in having such a name, especially in a well-watered country. It is so easy to nail a plank-floor to it and use it as a pontoon bridge. "The Ottoman Bank," says a Constantinople dispatch, "has succeeded in placing a loan which will not the Porte $12,000,000." Twelve millions are rather a large sum to have in one's pocket all at once, but to Turkey, in her present condition, such a sum is about as much as ten cents to a dead beat who hasn't "teched a drop" since last night, with no whisky to be had for less than fifteen cents a drink. The Ohio boy is evidently father to the Ohio man. The Ohio boy who was taken Lip-Reading. A good many years ago, when the accomplished daughter of a well-known gentleman of this city was a little girl, she was taken ill with scarlet fever, and when she recovered was stone deaf. Fortunately the child, who possessed a remarkably sweet voice, had learned to talk before the attack, and the physician who attended her, finding that her sense of hearing had entirely gone, enjoined upon the mother the necessity of carefully keeping up the habit of speech, in order that it should not be totally lost. From that time out the mother devoted herself to the preservation of her daughter's voice, almost to the exclusion of everything else, and the successful issue of her undertaking has proved an ample reward for her labors. The young lady is now not only an accomplished member of society, but an excellent artist, well known among the painters of New York. Her education was so carefully attended to by her mother that she not only talks well, but understands everything that is said to her by simply watching the lips of her interlocutor. On one occasion an eminent clergyman of this city called to see her mother, and was received by the young lady. After some fifteen minutes the mother presented herself, and the young lady retired. Presently the conversation turned upon the daughter, and the mother said something about her "infirmity." The clergyman, who had seen nothing to indicate any lack of perception in the young lady, and who had not noticed any physical defect, was surprised, and asked what was meant. The mother then explained that her child was stone-deaf. The clergyman was loath to believe it, and almost demanded further proof of the fact. The young lady was then called, and it was proven to his entire satisfaction that she could not understand a single word that was spoken unless she saw the motion of the lips which uttered it. Like the deaf girl described in Wilkie Collin's novel of "Hide and Seek," she is singularly susceptible to any vibration of the timbers of the room or house in which she may be, and her mother has established a system of telegraphy with her by means of the doors and balusters, by which she can communicate with her throughout the whole house. By simply striking the baluster or door with the open hand her parents can apprise her that her presence is desired in a particular room or part of the premises, and by modification of the raps can inform her of many of the minor affairs that are taking place.

Twelve millions are rather a large sum to have in one's pocket all at once, but to Turkey, in her present condition, such a sum is about as much as ten cents to a dead beat who hasn't "teched a drop" since last night, with no whisky to be had for less than fifteen cents a drink. The Ohio boy is evidently father to the Ohio man. The Ohio boy who was taken from Springfield to Philadelphia a few days ago as a Charlie Ross has, it is true, failed miserably to establish his claims as a long-lost well-spring of joy, but his attempt to get into a good place exhibits all the sagacity of a full-grown Ohioan. He has been taken back home, but he will not be discouraged, for he can grow up, and some day he can be Minister Plenipotentiary or Secretary of the Treasury. "A New Orleans boy shot a piece of his mother's scalp off the other day." Poor little fellow! Boys must have something to shoot at, you know, and to force them to shoot at their mothers for want of a better target is downright cruel. When a mother, to whom the idea of leaving a widowed husband and a parcel of orphans is repugnant, sees one of her little boys fooling around with a pistol, she ought to hide out until he has emptied the weapon into some of the rest of the family. A note from Pulaski, Tenn., signed "Bon and Bill," says: "We have made a bet of a new suit of clothes in regard to the shortest time ever made between New York and Liverpool, one of us maintaining that the voyage has been made by steamer inside of seven days, and we agreed to appeal to you for the information necessary to decide the bet." Then "one of us" has lost the bet, though by a few hours only. A month or so ago the steamship Britannia, of the White Star Line, made the trip from Liverpool to New York in seven days, eleven hours and thirty-seven minutes, which is said to have been the shortest trip on record. A Texas boy named Fisher was stolen from his parents by the Comanche Indians some twelve years ago. Instead of trying to make his escape when he grew to be a man, he married one of the Laughing-waters of the tribe, and now when his father has found out where he is, and wants to bring him back home, the old man finds that the young rascal has a parcel of half-Indians of his own, and won't return to civilization unless he is permitted to bring the whole lot of savage trundle-trash and their mother along with him. The old man had better let him stay where he is. His Minnehaha will never be happy in calico, and it is not likely that he will take to the plow handle kindly himself. Taking a "Load." It is pretty well known that during William H. Vanderbilt's youth his father, the Commodore, had very little confidence in his sagacity or business ability. Against the advice of some of his friends, which uttered it. Like the deaf girl described in Wilkie Collin's novel of "Hide and Seek," she is singularly susceptible to any vibration of the timbers of the room or house in which she may be, and her mother has established a system of telegraphy with her by means of the doors and balusters, by which she can communicate with her throughout the whole house. By simply striking the baluster or door with the open hand her parents can apprise her that her presence is desired in a particular room or part of the premises, and by modification of the raps can inform her of many of the minor affairs that are taking place. Although her father has a handsome competence, this young lady earns enough for her own support in the pursuit of her art.—New York World. How She Served Two Masters. The sweetest oratory that I have listened to on cliff or in forest was when I awoke from a twilight dream which had overtaken me as I sat leaning against the base of a monster tree. They were upon the opposite side and I could not run. Said she: "Since we were children I have felt a deep interest and friendliness in your welfare, and since I came to know the blessedness of hope I have longed to share any joy with you. Will you give your heart to your maker?" He said: "I can't do that, Molly. I would if I could, because you wish it. I gave it to you last winter during our meetings of the 'Jeu d'esprit,' and if you really don't want to keep it yourself, if you don't in the least care for it, you may give it to whoever you like, for I shall never have any use for it. I would like, you know, to share a blessedness of hope very likely much the same as yourself if you would only arrange things so that I might have you all the time to divide the joy with which I hope you mean; can't you, Molly?" She said, "O John?" and then there was a fumbling, and if he didn't kiss her, and she didn't kiss him, why, "Katy did," and the woods are full of them. Then she said, "You must tell pa how you feel," and he said: "Isn't it too soon after getting a new heart to tell a fellow's experience?" and she said, "Not at all. It is proper, and I am very happy." He said: "Not as happy, Molly, as if I had given my heart to the Lord, are you?" He asked his question in a pathetic tone, and she replied, "It is all the same, John. I'll see that the good Lord gets it at last." Then they went off to inform pa, and get an earthly blessing from him, for John is in the leather business, and very prosperous.—Chicago Times' Camp-Meeting Letter. Kissing Day in Russia.—A curious Easter custom prevails among the Russians of all grades of society. The fashion is to present an egg to a friend the first time you meet him or her—most generally her—after twelve o'clock on Easter night. The one who presents the egg exclaims: "Christ is risen!" The other answers: "Is he risen, indeed!" and three kisses follow. Of course the second one has generally an egg to present and favored night, approach the city without nels could be laid and the cry "Sas as it passed by Guided by the light at a favorable three of the astrayed into the city way unopposed house to which The boy ran in that deliverance collected a few wearing apparel the rescued pear column, Shield meantime the drums were beaten all around them point of entrance whole open play the wall was filled and artillery.

Vanderbilt's youth his father, the Commodore, had very little confidence in his sagacity or business ability. Against the advice of some of his friends, he persistently declined the young man's co-operation because he believed him "stupid." A story is current on Staten Island, N.Y., which goes to show how the Commodore's eyes came to be opened to the mistake into which he had allowed himself to fall concerning his oldest boy. William owned a farm near his father's, and finding that it required fertilization, he applied to his father. "How much do you want?" inquired the Commodore. "Oh, about a load," said the son. "Certainly, I can spare that," was the reply. When the Commodore visited his place the next week, he found that his yards and stables were swept clean of the great heaps of composits which he had allowed to accumulate. "Why, how is this?" he said to his farmer. "Your son came and got it," was the answer. "He said you gave him permission." The Commodore went fuming to William, and said, in a bustling way: "See here, young man, what have you been about; how dared you cart off all my manure!" "You said I could have it," was the rejoinder. "You told me to take a load." "A load! why, you have got every bit there is." "I only took a load, father—a aloop load." The old man's eyes were opened, and he concluded to give his son a "slice" of stock to operate with, and soon after made him Vice-President of the Central road. A Kentucky editor remarks that ninety-nine out of a hundred people make a great mistake when they cut off a dog's tail, in throwing away the wrong end. KISSING DAY IN RUSSIA.—A curious Easter custom prevails among the Russians of all grades of society. The fashion is to present an egg to a friend the first time you meet him or her—most generally her—after twelve o'clock on Easter night. The one who presents the egg exclaims: "Christ is risen!" The other answers: "Is he risen, indeed!" and three kisses follow. Of course the second one has generally an egg to present in return. Timid swains eagerly take advantage of this custom to obtain the priviledge of embracing some fond object whom they would otherwise be too bashful to approach. These eggs are of all kinds—some simple hens' eggs, gilded, or silvered, or colored; red, blue, or violet; some sugar eggs, embellished with all kinds of fanciful designs. There are also diminutive gold, marble, or simple wooden eggs; others are large enough to serve as ladies' traveling bags; or they may be placed on stands to serve as a useful ornament; hens may sit on a nest full of bonnon eggs; and some may be fitted up inside with a set of children's toys. There are eggs, in fact, arranged in every imaginable manner, and made out of every imaginable material. On this day hundreds of thousands of these change hands in St. Petersburg alone, and the sum spent in their purchase must be prodigious. ADVERTISEMENT in a New York paper: "A gentleman desires to correspond with a lady of education and refinement, worth from $100,000 to $500,000; must be an Episcopalian and a brunette." It is a great pity that such gentlemen are so scarce. The country is literally overrun with educated, refined Episcopal brunettes who are worth from $100,000 to $500,000, and a gentleman who is willing to correspond with one of them is regarded by them as a perfect godsend. This gentleman is evidently a man of magnanimity and means. True, he insists that the lady shall be an Episcopalian and a brunette, but he doesn't intend if the lady is worth a mere hundred thousand, that the lack of a few additional hundred thousands shall spoil a trade. A loveller, less self-important character than his it would be difficult, if not impossible, to find.—Courier-Journal. A Spirited Rescue. One of the thrilling episodes of the Mexican war which is not found in any of its histories is that of the rescue of an English family from the city of Mexico before the capitalization, by a detachment of American soldiers. The city had been invested some time, when a refugee one night entered that part of our lines which General Shields commanded. He was taken to the General, and to him told his story. He was an English boy, and, with his mother and a sister just arrived at womanhood, occupied a home in the capital at the time of the investment. One of the lawless guerrilla chiefs who held the people of the city as well as of the country in terror, had conceived a violent passion for the sister, who repulsed his advances, and he had declared in his rage that unless she consented to his proposals on the following morning he would carry her off by force and cause her mother and brother to be executed. The lad, in the extremity of his terror, had made his way out of the city past the sentinels and the lines, gained the American camp, and now besought the General to save his sister and mother. The ardent soul of Shields (who was then thirty-seven) was fired at the thought of the miserable fate awaiting these hapless ladies, and, without communicating at all with headquarters, where flat refusal would have been certain, he formed a plan for their rescue. To call it rash, Quixotic, or dare-devil would be but the truth; the best defense of his proceedings of that night is, it was a brave act, prompted by a generous heart, and that' he succeeded perfectly, where disaster would have insured his dismissal from the army. He had about 400 picked men detailed, and after quietly informing them what he proposed to do, he found every man eager for the adventure. Putting himself at the head of the little column, he silently left the American line, and favored by the darkness of the night, approached close to the walls of the city without discovery. The sentinels could be plainly seen on the walls, and the cry "Sentinla alerte!" was heard as it passed from mouth to mouth. Guided by the lad party scaled the wall at a favorable place, and seizing two or three of the astonished sentinels, descended into the city, and quickly made their way unopposed through the streets to the house to which the lad guided them. The boy ran in and informed the ladies that deliverance had come; they hastily collected a few valuables and articles of precious material. Shutting out the Enemy. It is better to shut out the enemy. Disease than to battle with him after he has entered the fortress of the body. Therefore, if health is endangered by hurful laffiness, such as a malarious atmosphere, unhealthy occupations, sedentary pursuits, and those which necessitate undue physical or mental strain or exposure in rough weather, it is the part of wisdom to protect it by the use of a reliable preventive. No article sold, advertised or prescribed is so well adapted for this purpose as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, an agreeable and efficacious tonic, recommended by physicians as a medicinal stimulant and corrective, botanical in its derivation, and having for its spiritual basis old rye of the purest quality, which preserves is an undeteriorating form the potent vegetable juices and extracts combined with it. Fortified with this benign preventive, the system may bid defiance to disease, no matter how unfavorable the conditions. Leef's & Co.'s California Yeast Cakes.

To The Country Dealters of the Pacific Coast: GENTLEMEN-For several months I have been selling my pure COMPRESSED COFFEE to the trade through a general agency and jobber's dealers, involving two immediate profits before the goods reached the distributing trade. Under ordinary circumstances this plan would have been without serious objection, but where so much competition in the way of adulterated coffees has to be met, I find that much against my inclination I shall have to deal directly with the country trade in order to get my superior product into general consumption. By imitating the example of some others I could easily afford to sell "coffee" at low prices, as could be named, but my ambition is to build a reputation on purity and excellence alone. My PURE COMPRESSED COFFEE is in no sense an extract or preparation from coffee, but simply the best coffee, carefully selected, roasted, ground and compressed after a formula which at once fixes and permanently retains all its exhilarating and refreshing qualities, among which are caffeine; its soluble oils and astringent acids; which lose nearly if not quite all their virtues before they reach the table of the consumer, in any of the old methods of preparing coffee for immediate use. This fact is well understood by experienced coffee men, and to supply the unavoidable deficiencies, chicory, stale rye, certain barks and other foreign substances have been added in the way of adulteration; until now people scarce know what pure coffee is. And with the belief that dealers and the best class of consumers will welcome and sustain me in my efforts to supply a pure, wholesome and delicious article; I now offer it direct to the retail dealers at $215 cents a pound cash, no charge for cartag. This coffee is an equal mixture of the very best Java and Costa lica, and is put up in handsome style under the brand of "MOCHA QUALITY," and those who once use it will call for no other. It is pure, rich, delicious and wholesome, and always secures uniform excellence in the coffees made from it. Send six dollars and fifty cents for a sample box of 20 pounds, and give your customers something for which you will thank you.

Sir, I'll disgrace you; I'll court-martial you and have you dismissed from the service!" At this my temper rose, and I answered him plainly that he might court-martial me, and perhaps get me dismissed, but that after all that had occurred on this campaign, neither he nor any other man could disgrace me; and being by this time pretty well stirred up, I said that under like circumstances I would do precisely the same thing over again. Instead of being more angry, the General was rather softened by this speech. 'I was wrong, General Shields, he said, "in saying that I would disgrace you; I ask your pardon for that. You are a brave man, and disgrace is not the word to use toward you. But you are greatly to blame in this matter, sir. You have acted without orders, and have imperiled the whole campaign.' 'General Scott,' I said, 'before you say anything more about it, suppose you come over to my quarters and see these ladies.' After some further talk he promised to do so, and I rode back to my tent pretty well satisfied that I should have no further trouble with the affair. In an hour over came General Scott, and I at once introduced him to the ladies. The daughter was a picture of beauty, with her golden curls and blue eyes; and after the mother had thanked the General for their preservation with tearful eyes and trembling voice, the girl seized his hands, wept over them, called him her preserver and invoked the blessings of heaven on his head. Scott looked from her to me with a very benevolent face, and said, 'Well, my Cerro Gordo friend, if I get you court-martialled for absis I shall have you promoted, too.' I have only to add that long afterward, when the war was over and we had returned to the United States, I received from England, the gift of these ladies, a costly diamond pin as a token of their gratitude." CONVERSATION.—A celebrated author says: If I were to choose the people with whom I would spend my hours of conversation, they should be certainly such as labored no farther than to make themselves readily and clearly apprehended, and would have patience and curiosity to understand me. To have a good sense, and ability to express it, are the most essential and necessary qualities in companions. When thoughts rise in us fit to utter among familiar friends, there needs but very little care in clothing them." CALVERT'S CAMPAIGN SHEEP WASH 20 per gallon. T. W.
