The Montreal Witness tells of ludi-
crous deception, no doubt suggested 10y 4
similar one now In vogue among the Ia
dies
ut appears that an exhibitor OF poultry
in one of the fairs at Montreal, took sever
al prizes, and further won high cnconiumS
from the Judges on the superiority of a
certain black hen of the Poland variety
with a splendid head of ftop-not. The next
morning, however, certain inIuisltivc
visitors inspected her Polandship more
closely and discovered the top-not had
been cut from three different fowls, sewn
into waterfall and fastened on the head
in question. The sell was good but cost
the perpetrator dearly, as the Judges at
once took from him all the prizes formerly
won
Other bipeds wear them universally
when on exhibition, and we don't see why
good, respectable hen should be denied

On last Friday morning, an athletic
young farmer. in the town Of Wanesburg,
took fair girl, ''all bathed in bushes"
from her parents, ami started for the first
town across the Pennsylvania line to be
married, where the ceremony could he

pair were accompanied by sister Of the
girl, tall gaunt. sharp featured female OF
some 81 summers. The pair crossed the
liue, were married, AMI returned to Wells
vile to pass the night. The people at the
hotel where the wedding party stopped,
observed that they conducted themselves
IN a rather singular manner The husband
would take his sister law, the tall female
atoresai., into one corner Of the parlor and
talk earnestly to her, gesticulat;ng wildly
all the time. Then the tall female would
put her foot dowa." and talk to him in an
angry and excited manner Then the
husband wouId take his .air young bride
into corner but he would no sooner CONS
mence talking TO her, than he .aunt sister
would rush in between them and angrily

about 9 clock that evening.
There was an uproar IL the room wh;c',
had been assigned = The newly ui' rried
couple. Female shrieIs aud masculine
'swears' startled the people in the hotel,
and they rushed to the spot. The gauut
female was pressing against the door of the
room, and he newly married man mostly

his might. Occasc nally she would kick
the door far enough open &c disclose the
stalwart husband IN his gentleman Greek
Slave apparel.
1t Itappears that the tail female Insisted
upon occupying the same bed with the
newly welded pair, that her sister was fa>
vorably disposed to TIC arrangement. and
that the husband had agreed to it tefore
the wedding took place. and now indig-
nantly repudiated the contract. Won't

ly married man, softening his voice.
No" said she, Il won so there
Don't You bulge an inch," cried the
married sister within the room.
"Now-now, Maria" said the young
man to his wife, in q piteeu~ tone. "dn't

Al Welsh celebration in New York.
Doctor Jones told the following amusing
story:
The speaker said editors are like other
shrewd men. who have to live with their
eyes and ears open, lie related a story Of
an editor who started Pa Der in Lew
village in the West The town was infcst-
Cd by gamblers, whose presence was Il
source Of annoyance to the citizens, who
told him if he did not come out against
them. they would not patronize his paper.
He replied that he would give them a
''smasher" next day. Sure enough, his next
issue contained the promised ''smasher )"
and OH the following day the redoubtable
editor, with scissors in hand was sitting in
his sanctum cutting out the news, when
in walked large man with q club in his
hani and demanded to know # the editor
was in. 'No, sir, was the rcnly. "he has
stepped out take seat and read the pa
pers he will return IL a minute" Down
sat the indignant man OF cards, crossed his
,egs with his club between them, and com
menced reading paper. In the meantime
the editor quietly vamosel down stairs, and
at the landing below he met with another
excited man, with a cudgel in his hand,
who asked him if the editor was in. Yes
sir, was the prompt reply; you will find
him seated up stairs reading newspaper.
The latter in entering he room with 9
furious oath, commenced violent assault
upon the former which was resisted with
equal ferocity, and the fight was continued
until they had both reached the foot of The
stairs and pounded each other to their
hearts content.

Trade with fss2 SOgzfss.

Upon this subject the New York Ncvs
says:
"The shipments Of goods from this city
to the various ports OF the Southern States
have lately become immense. An average
Of iifty vessels per week are now leaving
this port for the South, all laden 10 their
utmost capacity, and considerable difficulty
is experienced in obtaining transportation
The number of weekly departures are now
greater than before the war, being from
twenty five to fifty per cent. in excess OF
departures at the same season, during the
period extending from 1896 TO lSG0.-
This fourishing condition OF trade is eX-
ccedinglv gratifying, for it indicates that
the South has still the ability to buy heay
lily to supply its pressing needs. 1t is no.
ticable, also, that our merchants and man
ufactursrs are doing all in their power to
aid Southern buyers by selling on advan-
tageous terms. Many Southern buyers
who were financially ruined during the
war. have been ''set upon their legs again
by merchants who knew them well before
the rebellion and had confidence in their
integrity. We regard these indications as
not only commercially but politically i'm
portant, for we have more faith in the viz
tue Of adc-rcconstruction than in the
partisan article which Congress Is now en-
gagged upon"

A correspondent relates the following
which seems almost too good to be true
Ben Davis, as his neighbors call him, had
a very nice melon patch. One afternoon
while in the village store be overheard
some boys plotting to help themselves to
the fruit without being invited. Ben said
nothing. but on his way home set his wits
to work to head them off. As he was
passing along, a large black snake crossed
his path which Ben succeeded in captur-
ing alive He Immediately went to his
garden and selecting the very finest wa
termelon, cut it in two very carefully,
scooped out the inside, aad by means OF
PEGS on the inside fastened It together so
nicely that one could hardly detect the
seam. lie then plugged it, and forcing
the snake in head first, made all secure, and
left it in plain sight That night OF course
he lay concealed near by to witness the
sport Shortly after nine o'clock, three
boys came, and each selecting the finest
melon he could find started away, with
it Ben following at a safe distance. They
proceeded to an outbuildng not far distant

Ben looking on through the cracks. Boy
like, the largest one was taken first. Il
guess It's hollow said the boy ripping
through one side with his jack knife
well soon sec what's in it," continued he
turning it over, and then came scream
of terror from all the bcys as the snake
giided ont among them, and away they
scrambled, leaving the other melons un>
touched. and it did not make them feel
more comfortable to hear the uprOarouS
laughter of Ben as they took flight The
story sp.ead through tic village, and they
soon found that they had paid dear price
for their free melous For weeks whenev-
er the boys saw the thieves, they would
set up hiss, and the culprits would bo
glad to retreat out of sight to hide their

This calls to mind the story ofa clergy
man who suspected one Of neighbors Of
stealing hay from his barn. One night
he provided himself with dark lantern,
and watched for mis- coming. He saw the
suspected man 20 to the barn, axe out as
much as he could crrry on hs back and
start for homo. The clergyman stole up
softly behind him, and opening his lantern
set fire to the hay behind his back. 1t
flashed up instantly and he ran away in
the greatest terror A few days after the
culprit came to the clergyman and, confess
ing the theft. asked forgiveness. He said
that while he was carrying away some hay
the fire of God came down upon it, and he
The clergymen freely forgavc him, but
did not for long time tell him how the
hay came to take fire.

Action is life; naction is death. Life
in the human body is warm. Death is
cold Vigorous bodily action causes the
blood to circulate throughout every part oI
the body The want OF action causes it
so to speak, to stand still. The blood goes
more freely to those parts Of the body ol
brain most exercised. IF we swing the
slcdge hammer like the blacksmith, OF
climb the ropes like the sailor, We get
large ana strong arms and hands. If we row
boat or SWING a scythe, it is The same
But if we use the brain chiefly. to the
exclusion of the muscle, ne may have more
active minds. but weaker bodies. The
better condition in which the entire be-
ing, body and brain. is symetrically devel-
oped, requires the harmonious exercise OF
all parts, in which there will be a happy
equilibrium with no excess. no deficiencies,
no hot-head ache, no cold feet Head
ache is usually caused by pressure of
blood on the brain; cold feet is a limited
circulation Of blood in those extremities.
There is an old adage which says; Keep
the feet warm and the head cool, " which
was no doubt intended to counteract a
tendency the other way Certain it is
that that those who suffer with hot heads
usually have Geld feet.
One cause OF cold feet is wearing tight
CATERS. which interrupt the free circula
ton of the blood Another is the wearing
Of tight stockings and tight shoes. Still
another cause is. using the lower limbs so
little that there is not enough blood in cir
culation in these parts to keep them warm.

This day the blacks Of the states lately
in revolt have no rights which yanquishcd
rebels are at all inclined to respect. They
are hunted with dogs; they are shot by
scores their arms are stolen by wholesale,
even whe they obtained them by honora-
bic service in the union armies; their
school-houses are burned their teachers
are driven off; they are not allowed to sue
or testify in the courts Of several of the
southern states.-Ne,c York TriLaRc.
1t is by such statements. daily repeated
and enlarged upon that ianatical tervor Is

there is much suffering among the blacks
in the south So there is among the
whites There are more outrages COM

by the latter upon the negroes. 1t is not
long since the Governor Of Tennessee was
