On Friday morning young man went 10 the mousse

and found the door locked, while . light was
an entrance was effected at the back door,
and Mrs. Chambers was found dead, having hung
herself note was found upon the table, addressed
to her husband stating that she should hang herself
at ten O'Clock Thursday evening, which TO all ap-
pearances she undoubtedly did. No reason was
assigned for the act but It was no doubt caused by
the excessive use OF opium. Her husband, who
is q quiet ln0nensive hard working man,
was away from home at the time OF her death. she
had been married several times-twice TO her pre-
sent husband. She was over ffty years OF age, her
husband being much younger.
Pickering, who shot himself Thursday afternoon,
was well. situated financially Ia having m pro, pro,

years. spending his time fishing. hunting and
playing croquet Croquet was his favorite aInuse
ment He would play II every day, from morning
till night, all summer long. He was very quick tenn
pered, frequently exhibiting paroxysms OF rage at
some trivial offence. He had two pistols, one OF
which he gave away the day before the suicide, ana
law, having previously given him the bullet
mould and few bullets. saying at the time
that he wanted the pistol to shoot himself with, and
then he might have IL. The authorities would have
interered had they had any idea that he would carry
out the project He had exhibited no previous de-
lection spirits and went TO his death with as little
concern as most people would go TO dinner. Taking
everything into consideration, 1t is the most re-
markable OF suicide that ever occurred In this

CLAY AND RANDoLPH.-The cause Of
the duel between these two distinguished
men, was the following insulting language
used by Mr. Randolph towards Mr.. Clay,
in secret session Of the Senate, in the year
1885:
fThis man-(manhood, I crave your
pardon this worm-(little animals, for
give the insult spit out of tho
womb Of veakness-was raised to high
er life than he was born to, for he was
raised to the society of blackguards Some
fortune-kind to him, cruel to us-has
tossed him to the Secretary Of State
Contempt has the property of descending,
but she stops far short of him. She
would die before she would reach him !;
he dwells beneath her fall would hate
him if did not despise. It is not what
he is, but where he is, that puts my
thoughts in action. The alphabet which
writes the name of Thersites, of black
guard, Of squalidity, refuses her letters
for him. That mind which thinks on
what it cannot express can scarcely think
on him. An hyperbo!e for meanness
would be an elipsis for Clay"

MARK TWAIN.

The following paragraph in regard to
the celebrity known as Mark Twain, we
find going the rounds Of the newspapers !:
''Alark Twain Samuel M. Clemmens)
is man of about 80 years Of age, sparse
ly built, Of medium height, and wears on
his face dark moustache. His features
are as fair as boys, and in his two eyes
there twinkles boundIess humor. He
dresses in scrupulous black pants, vest,
and swallow-tailed coat, a small diamond
glistens in his shirt bosom. In lecturing,
he seldom casts q glance on the manu-
script on the tripod, but walks listlessly
to and fro before his audience"
A few years ago, Mark Twain-that is,
Sam. Clemmcns-was printers devil, a
newspaper carrier, at Hannibal. He
Eorked--was boy Of all work-in the
Office of his brother, who published q
Wing paper in that city. He is now a

try, but is indebted to nobody but him.

How TO FIT COLLARS TO HoRsEs'
SHoULDERs.-It is very important to
have q collar fit nicely and snugly to the
shoulders of horse. 1t enables him to
work with great deal more ease, and to
apply great deal more strength. It pre-
vents CALLING and wounding, as the fric-
tion is avoided. Collars are made, or
should be so made, as to throw the chief
force on the lower part of the shoulders.
The horse can apply but little strength
on the upper part, and for this reason
breast collars are coming greatly in vogue,
as the strength is exerted on the lower
part of the shoulders of the horse. The
collar should be purchased Of the proper
size. They are usually too large. IF OBJ
tanned of the proper size, just before put
ting it on the first time, immerse it in
water, letting it remain about a minute,
and Immediately put it on the horse, be-
ing careful to have the names so adjusted
at the top and bottom as to fit the shoul-
ders, and then put the horse to work
The collar, by being wet, viii adapt it
self to the shoulders, and should dry on
the horse. Wheo taken off it should be
left in the same shape it occupied on the
horse, and ever after you viii have snug
fitting collar and no wounds Valley

To Cure CoLD.-The following is
from Halls Journal of Heulth: "The
moment person is satisfied that he has
taken cold, let him do three things: First,
eat nothing second, 60 to bed, cover up,
In q warm room third, drink as much
cold water as he can, or as he wants, or
as much herb tea as he can, and in
three cases out of four he will be we'll in
thirty-six hours. To neglect cold for
forty-eight hours after the cough conn
mences is to place hlmself beyond cure,
until the cough run its course of about
fortnight. Warmth and abstinence are
safe, certain cures, when applied early.
Warmth keeps the pores of the skin open
and relieves it of the surplus which OPP
pressed it, while abstinence cuts off the
supply of phlegm, which would otherwise
be coughed up.
