INA BAD FIX.

Some years ago man, without family
or relatives, lived in county in Ar
kansas, and was possessed of an estate
worth $1,000. He went to New Or
leans, and was absent four years with
out being heard from. The Probate
Judge granted administration on his
estate-wound it up, and discharged the
administrator The man returned-had
been to Mexico-appiied to the Judge
for his property-when in open court
the following dialogue took places:
Dead man" IF your honor please,
I want my effects returned to me- as
you see am not dead."
Court know-that is, as man
that you are alive and in court, but
as a court, know that you are dead,
for the records of this court say SO, and
against their verify there can be no
averment-so says Lord Coke, and a
good many other books I have read.
Dead msaas-But-I want my property,
and it's no matter to me whether your
records lie or not. I am alive, and have
not transferred my property and to de-
prive me of it without my consent is
against all law.
Court-If you insinuate that the
records of this court lie, this court will
send you to Jail!
Dead naan-Send a dead man to Jail?
Court-Mr. Sheriff, take this aparition
out
Sheriff" Be thou ghost, or goblin
damned, I'll speak to thee let's go
and take something to drink.
The Judge stuck to it, that so far as
his court was concerned he qcas dead,
and ID if he shouldn't stag dead !
and the poor fellow went into chancery
and spent all he had made in Mexico and
the rest. aat

ASHLAND, ASHLAND COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY MoRl
THE RAPP-ITES-A COMMUNITY
WITH NO CHILDREN.

We clip the following descriptive pic
ture from the Oneida County Circular,
which shows which way these people are
drifting.
Yesterday had a leisure day. and 1
went down to a place called Econo-
my, settled by George Rapp and his
followers. They came to America. in
1904, and settled in Butler Co., Penn.
From thence they moved to the Wabash
Indiana, and thence to Economy, Penn,
in 1924. The town is laid out very
regularly, and is built on high bluff
overlooking the river for quite dis
tance. There are about hundred
dwelling houses, some of wood and some
brick. All are built alike, two stories
in height. Between the windows of
each story grape-vines are trained on
trails work. The population is about
400, and all of German origiH; and I
should think the village bore great re-
semblance to German towns on the
Rhine. Every thing was cold, stiff and
formal. About forty years ago they
stopped the increase of population, and
you can judge what a town or commu-
nifty would be, with no children in all
that time. I saw but three young peo-
pie. All of the rest were old, and near
ly all were gray haired. I went over
their garden. It was laid out very pret-
tily. In the centre was a miniature
temple, surrounded with water. In an
other part was grotto, with q rough
exterior, and door of bark, while the
interior was most beautifully finished
and decorated. On one side was the
motto, " The Visitors Disappointment" !"
on another, "The Harmonic Society,
founded 18th of February, 1s05;n on
another, I" Ge. and Elk. Rapp, founders
of Economy, 1928. Another descrip-
ton had been defaced. Between the
first two inscriptions, and on the right
of the door, stood, on rock of marble,
large female figure, with harp press
ed against her left shoulder, and gaz-
ing intently- on the inscription, " Ge.
and Fix. Rapp, " etc. I inquired the
meaning of this, and was told that the
rough building, tharched with straw,
represented man; the finished interior,
the SOUL The female figure represen-
ted association, founded on truth (the
rock, and her harp, harmony.
Oh it panied my soul to see this as
sociation, that had stood for half CEN
tury, thus to The grave go down. There
were no children to give life to the place
mo manhood to give it soul. They
are immensely rich. Their profits are
said to be upward of 100000 per year.
They have brewery, nine presses, saw
mill, tannery, grlst mill, cotton and WOOL
len mill, store, tavern, etc. They buy
nothing they can make themselves, Their
dress is German of the olden time-Ger-
many half century ago. They are
Communists, working their lands in
common, snd receiving no pay. Each
family have house and garden to them
selves. They are based on religious
principles, but what their peculiar te-
nets are, I did not inquire.
[The opposite extreme, at least in one
respect, may be found in Utah.

NOVEL MODE OF PERSECUTION.

Schinderhannes, the renowned robhee
of the Rhine, once encountered, so the
story goes, in foraging expedition be-
tween Mayence and Frankfort, cara
van of hundred and fifty Jews. Il was
a bitter January night: snow twelve
inches deep on the ground, and Schin-
derhannes didn't like Jews. And SO, IN
this manner, did he evilly entreat them.
He did not slay them, nor skin them,
nor extract their teeth, as did King
John; but he compelled every man
Moses of them to take off his boots or
Shoes These he mixed, pell-mell, into
a leathern salad, or boot-heap, and at
day-break, but not before, he permitted
the poor frost-bitten rogues to find their
chaussures, if they could. Setting aside
the superhuman difficulty of picking out
ones own particular boots among three
hundred foot coverings. the subtle Schin-
derhannes had rekoned, with fendish
ingenuity, on the natural acquisitiyeness
of the Jewish race OF course every
Hebrew instinctively sought for the
boots with the best soles and upper
feathers, and stoutly claimed them as
his own; men who had never possessed
anything better than pair of squask5
pumps, down at heel, and bulging at the
sides, vehemently declared themselves
the rightful owners of brave jack. boots
with triple rows of nails and the real
proprietors, showing themselves recalci-
trant at this new application of the law
of meum and tuum, the consequence was
a frightful uproar and contention such
a fighting and squabbling, such a shriek-
ing and swearing in bad Hebrew and
worse German, such rendipg ofgabar.

SHE MADE HOME HAPPY.

A plain marble stone in New Eng
land churchyard bears this brief inscrip-
tion: She always made home hap
py.
This epitaph was penned by a bereav-
ed husband, after sixty years of welded
life. He might have said of his depart
ed wife, she was beautiful and accom-
plished, and an ornament to society,
and yet not have said, she made home
happy. He might have added, she was
asChristian, and not have been able to
say, "She always made home happy. y
What rare combination of virtues
and graces this wife and mother must
have possessed How wisely she must
have. ordered her soul? How self-de-
nying she must have been? How ten
der and loving? How thoughtful for
the comfort of all about her!
Her husband did net seek happiness
in public places, because he found pu,
rer and sweeter enjoyment at home.
Her children, when away, did not
dread return, for there was no place for
them so dear as home. There was
their mother thinking for them, and
praying for them, and longing for their
coming.
When tempted they thought of her.
When in trouble, they thought of her
kind voice and her ready sympathy
When sick, they must go home they
could not die away from their dear moth

This wife and mother was not exempt
from the cares common to her place.
She toiled she suffered disappointments
and bereavements, she was afflicted in
her own person, but yet she passed
away, leaving this sweet rembrance be-
hind her; "She always made home
happy" s~.,sa

MIsERIEs OF A LECTURER.

of a lecture at Newark, New Jersey,
gave an amusing sketch of the miseries
of public lecturer, in which he is re-

reporters, (whose irats quilts he would
no sooner provoke than those of hun
dred fretfal porcupines,) often made
him say very quere things. Once when
he stated that he was not by birth, but
enthusiastically, a Dutchman, the repor-
ter made him an" ecclesiastical deduc-
tion. ~ Atanother time he spoke of
the devil as sowing tares, and was as

he had mentioned the devils saving

made to say that the Patriarch Abraham

less his experience of life had taught him
three important practical rules: LIST.

A STORY FOR YOUNG MEN.

At an early age I lost my father, and
as he left US with little of this worlds
goods, it became necessary that I should
seek some employment. I was then
thirteen years of age, and not very stout
or strong, but yet with will to do any
thing that would be found for me to do.
At length my mother made an arrange
ment with carpenter by the, name of
Morris, and 1 was taken into his shop as
an apprentice. With him L remained
two years, but at the time became SO
worn down by hard work imposed upon
me, that my mother resolved that I
should stay there no longer. My sister,
Lucy, who was two years older than my
self, had long detected my failing
strength-and it was mainly through
her influence that I was removed from
the place, for, I should never have com
planned.

and I knew that could not stand any
sort of work which taxed my physical
strength to any great extent. A Mr..
Johnson Evered, who kept a dry goods
store near by, was in want of a sales
man, and through my sisters influence
obtained the place Mr.. Evered had
daughter Julia, about my own age,
who was very intimate with lucy, and
it was by her intercession with her faith
er that Lucy gained her point.
I was duly installed in my place, and
was soon happy and contented, for my
employer was kind, and an intimacy
sprung up between myself and Julia,
which afforded me purer bliss than ev-
er before experienced. Thus matters
passed on for year, and at the end of
that time my health was restored. 1
