Sorrows of a Blind Lady Over a
Gold Ring,

There is living in this city blind lady,
still good looking, and once of great beau
ty. Years ago gambler wooed and won
her, notwithstanding the opposition of
friends and relatives. The strangely mat
ed couple seemed to be devotedly attach
ed to each other, and years did not change
their devotion. His precarious calling
took him frequently from the city, but
in all his wanderings he always returned
to his blind wife. One of the marks of
affection given to him by his wife was
heavy gold ring, ornamented on the inside
with the engraved figure of dog. This
he wore for long time, and as often as he
visited his wife she felt his hand to see if
the mark of affection still had it's place
there. At last it was missed, and imme-
diately her loving heart was crushed, her
jealousy excited, and her confidence in her
husband destroyed.
On inquiry, it was found that the ring,
or similar one, decorated the hand of a
notorious woman, who inhabited the noto-
rious house known as the third national.
A replevin was sued out, and the ring was
brought into court, but, upon examination,
it was not the right one, and the suit was
dismissed.-LeaUentUorth Conservative.

"JOhn Paul" on Wall Street Opera
$3.50 tiOns.


"John Paul." the humorous New York
correspondent of the Springfield Republic
can, narrates his experience with the Wall
street brokers when he stepped down
among them after the Fridays battle to
see what he could pick up:
"What do you want of usl" would be
asked as | entered the office.
''To bny some stocks for me-"
"Have you any money!
"Have any money! Do | look like a
person of that characterl If had, do
you think I'd come down here with it
"Then we can't do anything for YOU"
"Can't eh What's to hinder your
buying me any stock that looks likely to
go up twenty or thirty per cent. at the
lowest, letting it go up, selling it at the
highest; taking out what it cost and your
commissions, and giving me the balance
I don't ask you to give me any money
beforehand, and you make your commits
sions and have the fun of doing business
in any event."
None of them saw the profit that must
result to them from this thing, which sim
ply shows that they are not business men.
There's not woman who reads this arti-
Gle but can see with half an eye-unless
she has a wall, or Wall street eye-that
they're sure to make commissions if the
stock goes up, and have it on hands fol
collateral if it goes down!
One of these persons-when [ wish to
be particularly severe on man always
speak of him as person-called to ne as
| was going out of the door, and said, care
you James Fisk, Jr!"
"No," l replied, "why do you ask"
"Oh," explained he, 81 thought that ne
one else in the city could have that amount
of cheek"
1 have since thought that he might have
meant chic, which is the French for style
However, notwithstanding their combi
nation to crush me, they cannot preven
me from operating. This is the way to d'
it. When l see stock which is going up
enter the price down in book, and tn
number of shares l would probably buy
If it goes up can calculate the profit
should have to nicely. If it goes down
1 can calculate the saving I have effecte'
by not buying,so you see | have sure thin
either way. Putting both sides together
1 find that l make and save about 81 900,

The Church of Nazareth.

The following has been sent to the
COurier-Journal from Winchester, Ten
nessee, with a request for publication.
/. The undersigned denies that God is
necessarily immaterial because He is
Spirit.
2. Denies that there is an immaterial
being in existence. Immateriality is
nothingness.
8. Denies that God Almighty and Je-
sus Christ are one in person-denies that
the Holy Spirit is a persOn-and denies
that three ones are one.
A. Denies that the gospel is preached in
the Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Camp
bellite or Jewish churches.
5. Denies that the church is the King
dom of God, or that the Kingdom of God
has come.
6. Denies that any man has an immor-
tai soul, or that the Bible teaches such
doctrine.
7. Denies that any but the righteous
believers of the gospel-will ever be res
urrected to life.
8. Denies that there is an eternal hell
of conscious misery in store for any one.
8. Denies that God is such demon as
the doctrine of eternal suffering in hell
fire and birthstone represents Him to be.
10. Denies that the Millennium is to be
established by the "fOolishness of preach
ing"
Upon the issues involved in the above
propositions | am ready to meet all the
preachers in the State of Tennessee or the
United States, in public discussion. Dis
cusson is the great bulwark of Truth.
The mighty oak with its roots extending
far into the earth, can laugh at the storm
and tempest; but the miserable sapling
which has no roots at all can flourish only
in the sunshine. Come out, then, gentle
men, and 'let us reason together," and
remember that she that will not reason is
bgot, he that does not reason is fool,
and he that dare not reason is knave."
My sole object is to develop truth, ex-
pose error, and enlighten the people.

Walking EreotIV.

Walking erect not only adds to manli-
ness of appearance, but develops the chest
and promotes the general health in high
degree, because the lungs, being relieved
of the pressure made by having the head
downward and bending the chest in, ad-
NIT the air freely and fully down to their
very bottom.
If an effort of the mind is made to throw
the shoulders back, feeling of tiredness
and awkwardness is soon experienced, or
is forgotten. The use of braces to hold
up the body is necessarily pernicious, for
there can be no brace which does not
press upon some part of the person more
than is natural, hence cannot fail to i'm
pedc injuriously the circulation of that
part. But were there none of these OBJ
jections, the brace would adapt itself to
the bodily position, like hat or a shoe,
or new garment, and would cease to be a
brace.
10 seek to maintain an erect position
or to recover it when lost, in manner
which is at once natural, easy and efficient,
it is only necessary to walk habitually with
the eyes fixed on an object ahead, little
higher than your own, the cave of house,
the top of mans. hat, or simply keep
your chin little above horizontal line,
or, it will answer to walk with your hands
behind you; if either of these things is
done, the necessary, easy and legitimate
effect is to relieve the chest from pressure,
the air gets in more easily, develops it
more fully, causing more perfect puri6-
cation of the blood ,imparting higher health,
more color to the cheek, and compelling
a throwing out of the toes. To derive the
highest benefit from walking, hold up tho
head, keep the mouth closed, and move
briskly.-Journal Of Commerce.

A Buried City Older Than POmpeii

The Revue des Deux Monds gives an
account of some remarkable discoveries
which have been recently made in two is
lands of the Greek Archipelago, called re-
spectively Santorin and Therasia. These
two islands, with third, from circular
bay. Their inner coasts present series
of cliffs, sometimes reaching to height of
800 feet. On the top of these cliffs lies
a band of pumice stone of brilliant white
ness. From the summit the land slopes
away gently to the open sea and is every
where covered with a coating of tufa or
pozzulona, at times more than 100 feet
deep.
Here and there upon the slopes are
scattered populous villages. There is,
however, no soil, but light friable pun
ice, the dust of which is raised and car
ried in eddies by every strong wind. This
pumice, when duly mixed with lime, pro-
duces hard cement, which has the quail
ity of great resistance to the action of the
weather or of sea water. 1t has for some
time been expected, and the works at the
Suez Canal have caused lately an increas-
ed demand for it. Iii quarrying the tufa
has been quite cut through, and beneath
have been found remains of buildings
erected by the primitive dwellers in the
islands.

Hello, old Steam Engine
Why is this thus
Why sputter and fzzle,
And make such fuss
Arn't you "on time"
That causes your furryi
Pm thinking, good fellow,
You're in a mighty big hurry.
| say, Mr.. Monster,
You're real queer thing;
For you smoke and you cheio,
And are "some'' on the sing.
Like dog in cold weather,
Your best friend is fire,
And though often hard run
You rarely need.tTe.
Wonder you don't bust ts
When so awfully strained,
Though guess you know better,
As you're pretty well trained.
You look mighty fine
With brass mountings enriched,
But for oil that, Old Screecher,
You often get "ditched."
As you're mentioned as "she,"
That must be your gender;
Else why in the world
Can you be so much "tender."
Excuse me, dear "blowhard,"
But l have bad cough,
And can only say farther
Before 'switch off,"
That while rushing along
With the "ThrOugh Day Express"
May your big, looming shadow
Never, never grow less.
