A Radical Cube.—Captain Charley 1l Thorn, of the California, wm tilling -#ome friends in Port Townsend, last *week, among whom was Hilly Ballou, about a new kind of corn-ealvm. Oapt. j Corn ban got a pet thorn—no, we menu lt;that Capt. Thorn had a corn— and bought a box of salve to cure it. He said, “I took u piece of cotton rag andspread some of the salve on it and *wrapped it arouud m v toe, then I pulled ' boot on and went on deck. It blew \ right hard a coming lt;ut of Wrangei, cj anc^for two days and nights I never ^ got uiy clothes off. Down abreast of ^ Skeen, it begin to moderate and I cmi /eluded I'd lay down a while, for 1 was jdead beat out. So I got the bootjack i and off came the boot, but it was a queer sensation, for 1 pulled the stocking off too. Come to look at it and there was the denied toe inside of the j stocking, but it cured the corn, you bet. The man that sold me that salve j c wouldn't lie for a quarter. On hear- * ing this, Hilly Ballou went to bed, rheart-broken at the loss of his repnta- d tion, spd didn't show up again for thenext week. « i
