The Huron Expositor, 1886-05-07, Page 66 :THE Lia.7410411 XPOSITOR. MAY 7, 1886. Much to 'be Thankfulllok. A Scotch lady invited an elder in the Free church to have supper with her, and a piece of remarkably tough veal was placed on the table. After -some frantic endeavoura 'Went% main which, the elder's plate landed on his knees, the lady said : "Ye aye said there wig something to be thankfu for in every thing, I jalous ye wad be at a loss to fin' something to be thankful for in that veal?" "Not at a'," he responded, cheerfully, stopping to breathe, '1 was just thinking hoo gratefu" we should :be that Wse met it when it was young."' • A Horse Fair in Ireland. ; _ To a novice an Irish fair appears Ito be Pandemonium let loose. The main street is the show -ground and ride, and a convenient field, with a stone wail or two, serves the purposes of the "man- age" Such a whooping and yelling ! Droves of wild young colts, rough, u.n- . kempt-looking animals rushing madly about, with Pat riding barebacked as easy as a glove, with nothing but a of a twig and a heater for a bridle. "Whist ! but that's a lepper, yer hon -- �r; be aisy now on her, Tim ; shouts the proprietor of some raw filly, as Tim negotiates the wall with a. cock of Ilia - eye. Perhaps you turn round to look at the" lepper, and by the mercy of Providence, Just escape being trampled to death by a whole troop. Pulled this way, shoved that, hot and thirsty, you at last gain a place of safety, and are able to look on for a few minutes in peace. Meanwhile the dealers are not idle, and bargains mingled with gleams of potheen are flying about in every . direction. If you happen to be in the know you will see a horse bought for £30 ready cash, which for market pin - poses wits to have been a £70. transac- tion. Every conceiiable class of anithal is here' both -biped and quadruped. The hunter which, if properly got up, will feteh in England a couple of hundred is side by side with a screw not worth as many pence, and the autocrat of the deeler's yard may be seen in close con- . tabulation with what looks very like a prime dynamiter; while above all the and Jangle iloats an aroma of whisky and tobacco, to say nothing of blarney and bad language. As the day wears on prices lower a little. Indeed, few of the knowing ones eampletetheir bargains until late, ex- eepting in the cases of some really high elaSs jehus. But what is going on in the tether of the wall? A small crowd is gathered there, and from your position you can just make out one of the men who, crossed in the boat standing oppo- site a true son. of Erin in the middle of u Oman ring, and seemingly either igliting or endeavoring to shake him hy the hand—which? You cannot quite malice put. Presently the crowd breaks up with a cheer, and you can see plainly now the two men shake hands'and to your surprise, money passes between them. Can it have been a prize fight after all ? No, it is only a deal, and. if we come a little nearer to this new lot that are forming a ring we shall see. As we approach a lane is formed, and the -vision of a flying colt appears, rid- den barebacked by a bright -looking lad. Over the wall is the order, and Pat, steadying his mount, takes it in first- elaSs form. Then the cremrd closes in and two figures stand opposite each other—England - and Ireland. (Well, whit's' the price," says England. "It's just the foinest little horse in the thiS day, and I'll not be selling him under $120, and that's dirt chape," re- plies Ireland, holding out his hand. ."Forty," says England, making a dive at the paw. Ireland is toequick, hcriv- eve4 and sna.tchea it away before Eng- can.grasp it, saying at the saMe ne vvith an air of disdain: " Forty ! and for a baste like that the Lord Liftinent would be prod to be seen on. It is trying to blarney me that you are ? just let you have it for £1Q0 and net a penny less," and out goes the hand again. This time England springse tenner, and the same pantomine is gone through with the exception that Eng- land nearly catches the outstretched ilsember this time, which, raises a laugh and "Mind yer eye, Pat," from tie orowd. After every bid this goes qn, and at sixty-five England catches I e- land by the hand and shakes it hearti y, thereby signifying that it is a deal. Tie crowd cheer ,and the two go' off togetlier to cement the bargain with a "dhrop of the eratur." This is the way most of the deals are carried on, and it is an un- written Iaw that if you happen to be quick enough to catch hold of the hand after your offer, the horse becomes your property for the amount of your bid. ow we will take a look at another party, where evidently things are not going so smoothly. An innocent young scentletnan has been taken in by a cor- ner, and, having paid £20 for a horie, which is worth at the outside a fiver; is vainly hunting about to find the man who had his money; and is being freely chaffed by the spectators., "Sure the poor man has gone round to confess. Maybe yeur honor will find hinethere now," says, one.. "Is it Mike that your honor wants ?" aska another, beds.d he's -just slipped round to put the baby to slape," and so on until Young Inno- cent fairly loses his head and his tem- per, which is at once resented, and he is lucky if he is got away by* his friends without a. broken head. Sometimes, however, the ever stands his ground and braves it out, appeiling to his pals, and swearing that the horse is all right, and he sold it without a warranty. Then a friend of the caper will come up and say to Young Innocent, " Arrah, be aisy sure I know a man who will take the little harse," and being (only too glad to get rid of the beast, the vic- tim parts with -it for a termer, and the conspirators divide the spoil and proceed to sell the beast over again. A good-looking flat -catcher in the hands of a clever gang will be sold six or seven times a day, and bought back as a dis- count, the same man, of course, never selling twice. On the whole, however, things -axe very,fairly carried out, and there is an immense amount of amusement to be had even if one does not buy. If on the purchase, it wants a clear head and a determination not to give more than a certain sum. Probably you will have to wait till the end of the fair to get what you want at your own price, but unless some one else is on the same nag you will get it. Then what fun there is to be had over the whiSky punch in the _evening. Such stories of past fairs, re- miniscences ef Tim Murphy and Flanni- gan, etc., etc., what Pat O'Connor got for his colt, and In)* McCarthy, the ", (thirty blaekguard,"; sold an English gentleman a horse, and got the money and horse to boot. Then the boys who have taken the nags home have to be tipped, accounts are squared, and ar- rangements made for dispatching the purchases to England, and then the band of sportsmen once more prepare (those that are not going on to some other fair) to face the terrors of sea- sickness, and with prayers for a smooth passage, turn their facet homeward, and their backs on the- scene of the Irish Fair.—Licensed-Victuallers' Ga- zette. • Wicked Furniture. There -is probably at the present tine, writes "Our George" in the Belfast, Maine,Journal, no one article about which there is so much unblushing de- ception as furniture. Formerly a table was a table, and a bed was a bed, and a washstand was a washstand, but now -a - days it may be, or it may not. -You enter a room and see a handsome` bookcase, and attempt to open the door, when suddenly the bookcase is trans- formed into an elegant bed, all made up, with the shams taken off and the clothes turned down and a bill for lodging all made out and placed conspicuously on the pillow. Or it may be a sideboard that attracts your attention, and you step up to ex- amine it, and accidentally touch it, when it kicks you across the room, and you look around to see what hit you and discover a $150 bed, that " you couldn't occupy for less than $5 a night. Or you see a writing desk in a corner of the room, and lift up the top to get a sheet of paper, and find a pitcher of water and a basin, a soap dish and a half a dozen towels. It has got se that a man needs a book of direction and a machinest to find out how to use the furniture in some of our modern TOMS. Even the chair we sit in are a snare and a delusion. There is the folding rocker, and one of these came near being indicted for murder in Belfast lately. A gentleman is the possessor of one of these chairs, which he has had for a few years, and, never having had occasion to fold it up, he had forgotten about its peculiar anatomy and its gymnastic ability. - They were originally invented to place in a sleeping room, where they could be shut upwhen the occupant of a room went to bed, and leaned up against the wall so that if he got up in the dark, he would not run his shins against the end of the rocker, and made him wish that Coluinbus had never discovered Amer- ica. The gentleman mentioned was seated in one of these chairs, discussing with his wife and a lady caller the probability of his being mentioned in Vanderbilt's will. He was in a particularly happy mood, and everything looked rose-color- ed to him. , When the caller arose to take leave Ile rose from the chair and stepped behid it, and placed his hands on the top of the back, and stood await- ing the caller's departure. As he stood there he unconsciously rocked the chair forward a little, and, in doing so,.he leaned forward himself and bore a part of his weight upon it, when quicker than a flash of lightning, the chair doubled' up and laid its back down against the seat, and folded its arms and curled its legs up under it, like a boy in a cold bed, and collapsed. Just as the grand transformation scene was taking place'ose of the ladies must have said sornething very funny, as they both began to laugh, and the tears ran down their cheeks, and they held their sides, and sank into the nearest chairs, While the gentleman carefully worked his head out from under the finish at the bottom of the table; and called together his different component parts, and, reaching for the chair, grabbed it by the nape of the neck and gave it a shake as if it were possessed of life when it straightened up its back, and stuck out its legs, and unfolded its arins, and gave an almost human smile, while the gen- tleman sank into it, and the lady caller glided out, and the wife resumed her 'crocheting, and a hush as large as a pair of $10 California blankets covered the room, and the sun sank to rest and dark- ness crept over the scene. • What People in a Newspaper Office See and Find Out. The Rev, Dr. Tahnage says the news- paper is the great educator of the nine- teenth century. There is no force com- pared with it. It is a book, pulpit, platform, forum all in one. And there is not an interest—religious, literary, commercial, scientific, agricultural or mechanical—that is not within its grasp. All our churches and schools, and col- leges, asylums and art galleries feel the quaking of the printing press. "One of the great trains of this news- paper profession is the fact that they are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office, day by day, go the weakness of the world, the vanities that want to be puffed, the re-. vanes that want to be wreaked, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial colunms in order to save the tax of the advertising column, all men who want to be set right who never were right, all the crack -brained philosophers, with stories as long as their hair, and as gloomy as their finger nails, in mourning because bereft of soap, all itinerant bores who come to stay -five minutes and stop an hour. From the editorial and reportorial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day by day, and the temptation is tribe- lieve neither in God, man or woman. Another great trial of the newspaper profession is the diseased appetite for unhealthy -intelligence. You blame the newspaper press for giving such pro- minence to murders and scandals. Do you suppose that so many papers would give prominence to these things if the people did not demand them? I go in- to the meat market of a foreign city, and I find that the butchers hang up, on the most conspicuous hooks, meat that is tainted, while the meat that is fresh and savory, is put away without any especial care. I come to the conclusion that the people of tat city love tainted meat. You know very well that if the great massof people in this country get hold of a newspaper, and there are in it no runaway matches, no broken -up families, no defamation of men in high position, they pronounce the paper in- sipid. They say: "It is shockingly dull to -night." I believe it is one of the trials of the newspaper press that the people of this country demand moral slush instead of healthy, intelleotual food." Finding a Character. This might have found a pities in Dean Ramsay% reminiscence. A Lowland farmer, of a miserly disposition, went to a fair to hire a farm servant; and peering about him, he obiserved a tall, well grown lad, with al vacant expres- sion of countenance. Him he accosted, and found that "Jock," as he called himself, was an "innocent," half-wit- ted. 11 The farther, thinking that this was a geod opportunity to secure a strong fellow, who would take low wages, and uot quarrel with the very plain fare of his kitchen, questioned him, and finding that he was used to farm work, engaged him. Then remembering that he knew nothing of the youth's character, he added: "But I maun hae your character, ye ken, Jock. I engage no man without a character. ' Can ye bring me a good ane frae yer last minister ?" " Ou, ay," returned Jock. • And it iwas agreed that he was to bring the required document to the Sun Inn, where the farmer intended to dine, at one o'clock. At one o'clock punctually, Jock arriv- • ed at the Sun, and with some difficulty made his way into the room where the farmer's ordinary was being held. " Weel, ma lad, have you got your character ?" asked the farmer. Na ! but I've got yours'an' Pm na comin' !" cried Jock, as he bolted from the room, amid the roars of the assem- bled company.—London Life. • • A Significant Story. A wealthy banker in' one of our large cities, who is noted for his large sub- scription to charities, and for his kindly habits of private benevolence, was call- ed on by his pastor one evening and asked to go with him to the help of a man who had attempted to commit sui- cide. 1 They found the man in a wretched house, in an alley, not far from the banker's dwelling. The front room was a cobbler's shop; behind it, on a miser: able bed, in the kitchen, lay the poor shoemaker, with a gaping gash in his throat, while his wife and children were gathered about him. "We had been without food for days," said the woman, when he re- turned. "It is not my husband's fault. He is a hard-working, sober, man. But he could neither get work, nor pay for that which he had done. To -day he went for the last time to collect a debt due him by a rich family; but the gentleman was not at home. My hus- band was weak from fasting, and seeing ns starving drove him mad. So it end- ed that way," turning to the fainting motionlessfigure on the bed. The banker, having fed and warmed the family, hurried home, opened his desk, and look out a file of little bills. All his large debts were Promptly met, but he was apt to be careless about the account of milk, bread, etc., because they were so petty. He found there a bill of Michael Goocllow's for repairing children's shoes, $10. Michael Goodlow was the suicide. It was the banker's unpaid debt which had brought these people to the verge of the grave, and driven this man to des- peration, while, at the very same time, the banker had given away thousands in charity. The cobbler recovered, and will never want a friend while the banker lives nor will a small unpaid bill ever again be found on the banker's table. No man has a right to be generous until his debts are paid; and the most efficient use of money is not alone in alms giving, but to pay liberally and promptly the people whom we employ. —John A. Cockerill, of the New York World, is said to be the best paid man- aging editor in the country. It is re- ported that his salary is $10,000 a year. Catarrh—a New Treatment. Perhaps the most extraordinary success that has been achieved in modern medicine has been attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh. Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured of this stubborn malady. This is none the less startling when it is remembered that no five per cent. of patients presenting themselves to the regular practitioner are benefitted, while the patent medicines and -other advertised mires never record a cure- at all. Starting with the claim now generally believed by the most scien- tific men that the disease is due to the presence of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at once adapted his cure to their extermination— ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prae- tieally cured, and the permanency is unquestion- td, as cures effected by him four years ago -are cures still. No one else has ever attempted to cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat„ ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application of the remedy is shuple, and can be done at home, and the present sewn ef the year is the most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure, the majority of cases being cured at one treat- ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs. A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, %bat, Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for their treatise on Catarrh.—Montreal Star, November 17.1882 • 882-52 FARMERS, IT WILL PAY YOU , , 710 CALL AT THE— , HURON FOUNDRY, 3—NEAR THE— !
