substance that is used to charge percussion caps,
and its terrible power may be judged when we
say that pound of it suficcs to charge twenty
thousand infantry caps.
1t is probable that the effects of these bombs
would have been more disastrous if there had
been larger proportion of metal to the pow
der, for very considerable proportion of each
bomb was blown into fine atoms like grains of
sand. One girl, who had two or three tolerably
severe wounds, received in her dress more than
ahundrcd fine particles that had not force enough
to penetrate to the skin. The side of the Em-
peror's carriage has twenty-thrce holes and abra-
sions from the bomb that burst at the side, on
the under surface of the mar9uiSe, on the front
OF the thaeter, and on the houses opposite, you
may count five hundred holes and abrasions.
In large pane of glass in the Cafe Rossini, a
considerable distance from the point of explo-
sion, small fragment has passed through, leay-
ing round and clean orifce which is Just large
enough to admit finger
The public were evidently wrong in suppos-
ing that the bombs were charged with balls and
nails. The noise from the explosion was per
fcctly terrific, in view of the size of the bombs,
and there is every reason to believe that the
amount of metal was badly proportional to the
enormous explosive force of the interior.

WATER CURE.-The Hartford Times gives an
amusing account of case of water cure in Say
brook. Mr.. Dash and Mr.. Brace were neigh
bors. Mr.. Brace called very often after Mr.
Dash, and they have been seen to go home very
weak about the knees. Mrs Dash protested
against such conduct, and expressed her opinion
that if Mr.. Brace would keep away, Mr.. Dash
would remain at home about his own business
Mr. Brace was, therefore, politely requested to
stay away, but refused, and continued to entice
Mr. Dash from home as often as twice week.
and matters continued on descending SCALE
Finally when Mr.. Brace appeared with his pock-
ct pistol, charged to the cork with liquid pow
der, Mrs. Dash and her daughter Miss Dash
made q dash at him with the broom-handlc
After sufficient pummeling with this femi-
nine cudgel, Mrs. Dash brought in three full
buckets of cold water, and soused him from
head to heel while Miss Dash held him in her
tiger grip. Full half barrel was thus caused
to trickle down his carcass, until he made a sud-
den spring and got away. He showed more
strength and sprightliness than he ever exhibit
ed when the "spirit moved him." Miss Dash
followed him, giving him blow at every bound,
till he cleared high fence. Both he and his
friend Dash have since become stiff backed cold
water men, and have signed the temperance
pledge.
Some wicked fellow painted large placard
and placed it upon the door of Mr.. d., with the
following words in very large black letters:

Lincoin's Illustrations. When the news of the
late great battle in Congress reached Springfield,
a coterie of congenial spirits assembled in the
Governors room at the State House for the pur-
pose of talking the matter over. After it had
been pretty thoroughly canyassed, and Just as
portion Of the company were about to retire, a
well known x-CongresSman-the one who is
to be elected to the United States Senate next
winter as Douglas succcssor-dropped in. OF
course every man in the crowd desired to know

of Illustrating il.
"Well," said Gov. b., as the gentleman ad-
dressed familiarly doubled himself into vacant
chair, ''what is your opinion of the knock down
in Congress- We have just been talking it over
a little"
''lt reminds me- said -, "of case once
had up at Bloomington"
Let us hear it, all said.
"Two old farmers living in the vicinity of
Bloomington had, from time immcmorial, been
at loggcrheads. They could never agree except
~ disagree wouldn't build divisioaences, and
in short, were eNerlastingly quarreling. One
day one of them got over on the land of the 9TH
er, the parties met, and a regular pitched battle
between them was the consequence. The one
who came out second best sued the other for as
sault and battery, and was sent for to come up
and defend the suit.
Among the witnesses for the plaintiff was a
remarkably talkatiye old fellow who was dispos-

a SAD HoNEYMooN.-Charlcs Albaugh was
recently tried, convicted and sentenced in Cleve-
land, Ohio, for robbng the mail The Column
bus (Ohio) Gazette, says:
Charles Albaugh is only 90 years of age. and
the events of the past few months will fill an
important chapter in his life's history. On
Christmas day he eloped with his landlord
daughter, Miss German, in her sixteenth year,
went to Alexandria, Pa, and was married. An
effort was made to keep the affair secret, but it
was discovered by the girls parents who were
highly incensed at their daughters imprudence.
On the 2Sth of January, Mr.. Prentiss, the Uni
ted States Mail Agent, arrested Albaugh on a
charge of robbing the mail lie was taken to
Cleveland, tried, convicted and sentenced be-
fore the United States Court, and upon reach
ing Cardington on his way to the Penitentiary
the young wife came aboard the cars to bid fare
well to her convict husband. The meeting was
painfully affecting one. She begged him to
keep up his spirits, to make firm resolve to
do his whole duty while in prison. She vowed
to stick to him though all the rest of the world
should forsake him " for" said she Charley
we are both young we have years ofhappiness
in store for us and when your time has expired,
we can 90 to some other land where the offense
viii not be known, where We can live happily
together, and earn an honest livelihood" The
poor girl ncryed herself to the task, and. as she
wiped the tear, away from the cheeks of her
Young husband, she never whimpercd. The
car was full of passengers who witnessed the
scene with fearful emotion. The conductor
who, at the request of the officers, had kindly
DELAYED few moments. to give the Young couple
an opportunity of meeting each other, at last
notified them that he could delay no longer
and the whistle gave notice that the cars were
about starting. Keep up your courage like a
man. Charley said the fair heroine. and, as she
Kissed his cheek she turned to leave him but
ovcrpowered by her feelings. that she had thus
far kept under CONTROL she fell fainting in the
arms of the bystanders who carried her gently
into the station-house. and the cars rolled over
the rails with increased speed, to make up for
the detention.

DRrDGEs, Dolls AND WoMES.-There are
three classes of women First, domestic drudges.
who are wholly taken up in the material details
of their housekeeping, husband-keeping, and
child-keeping. Their housekeeping is trade,
is no more which they can do. Next. there are
domestic dolls, wholly taken up with the vain
show which delights the eye and the ear. They
ask nothing beyond their function as dolls, and
hate all attempts to elevate womankind. But
there are domestic women, who order a house
and are not mere drudges, adorn it, and are not
mere dolls, but women. Some of these-a great
many Of them-conjoin the useful of the drudge,
and the beautiful of the doll, into one woman
hood, and have great deal left besides They
are not wholly taken up with their functions as
housekceper, wife, and mother Theodore Par.

TAKE THE PAPERS!
BY N. 7. WILLIS.

Why don't you take the papers?
They're the life Of my delight;
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe, you cannot lose cent
Why should you be afraid;
For cash thus paid is money lent
On interest, four fold paid.
Go then and take the papers,
And pay to-day nor pay delay,
And my word it is inferred,
You'll live till you are gray.
An old newspaper friend of mine,
While dying from cough,
Desired to hear the latest news,
While he was dying off.
took the paper, and read
OF some new iIlls ia force;
He bought bOX-and is he dead?
No-hearty As horse.
knew printers debtor once,
Racked with n scorching fever,
Who swore to pay her debt next day,
If her distress would leave her
Next morning she was at her work,
blNtoNch VI lhlllt
But did forget to pay her debt,
Till taken down again.
"Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels,
Aud pay the printer now"
She slept and slept, and then awoke,
With health upon her brow.
knew two men, as much alike,
AS e'er you saw two sturnps;
And no phrenoiogist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the papers, and his life
Is happier than kings;
His children all can read anl write
And talk Of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood,
a tree fell down and broke his crown,
And killed him, every good"
Had he been reading of the news,
At home, like neghbor Jim,
I'll bet cent that accident
Would not Of happened to him.
Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because you borrow of his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papers.
And pays his bills when due,
Can live in peace with God and man,
And with the printer too.

A RECKLESS MANA man named Bill FarI
was killed on last Christmas day, at Tehama,
California. Bill was notable character in his
way. The Red Bluffs Beacon says of him -
Our readers will remember an advertisement
that appeared in our paper last spring, stating
that Bill Farr would fight grizzly bear, single
handed. on the 4th of July, at Tehama. His
life seemed to be of no consequence to him.
We have frequently heard him remark that he
would as soon be killed as not and on one oc-
casion we actually knew of his standing up very
coolly with person as reckless as himself, each
taking shot at the others hat, distance of
fifty steps, as it remained on his head. The re-
suit was that Bills hat was shot through, and
small bunch of hair cut away, while the skin on
the other man Uranium was laid bare for three
or four inches by Bills half ounce ball. Bill
was great terror to the Indians, having killed
great many in his time-some of whom, as he
said himself, he shot to see them fall

LITERARY MEN IN THE BRITISH CABINET
MIR. DisraeG is known as a voluminous writer
of prose and verse, politics, history and fiction
Mr.. Walpole, the Home Secretary obtained at
Cambridge University the prize for the best Es-
say on the character and conduct of William III.
The Earl of Malmesbury, Foreign Secretary,
has edited the works of his grandfather, the eel
ebrated diplomatist. Lord Stanley, the new
Colonial Secretary, one of the most rising young
men of the day, has written several pamphlets
on colonial and church questions. Lord John
Manners has written a good deal of poetry,
which will hardly compare with Mr.. Tennysons.
The Palmerston Cabinet also had its quota of
literary characters such as Palmerston himself,
who was one of the authors of prose and po-
etical satire published in 1919; Sir George c.
Lewis, editor of the Edinbwg and a historian;
Duke of Argyle, writer of several pamphlets on
the Scottish Church Earl of Carlisle, poet

DIR. JUDsoN'S BURMESE TESTAMENr.-The
story of the preservation of this precious work,
related by Mrs Judson might adorn the page
of romance. 1t was taken to Ava in manu-
script and when Mr. JudSon was thrown into
prison, was secretly sewed up by his wife in a
cushion too hard and unsightly to tempt the Gu
pidity even of his jailors, and used by him as
pillow. When at the close of seven months. he
and his fellow sufferers were thrust into the in
ner prison, the old pillowfell to the share of one
of the keepers, but, probably finding it too hard
for his use, he threw it back, and it came once
more into its owners hands. 1t was again lost
when he was driven to Dung penal and being
stripped by one of his attendants of the mat
which was tied around it, the roll of hard cotton
was again flung into prison. Here it was found
by Moung Ing, who took it home as a memorial
of his teachers, without suspectng It's price ass
contents. Severalmonths after, the manuscript,
which now makes part of the Burmese Bible,
was found within, uninjured.
