A Senator Who Has Got Rich.

Inc washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial says:
1 look across the street, and I see in
front of Senator'S house the carriage of
another Senator. The pair of blooded
horses cost some thousand dollars. The
gilded harness is in keeping, The clos e,
handsome shining coach is one of Bren-
toms best, lined with silk velvet, and grac-
ed the choicest and thickest of plate glass.
On the coachman's seat sit two of Gods
creatures, called men one bright mu
latto, the other white man, and both in
livery. They sit in solemn silence, under
under their gay robe of furs and white
gloves. Directly the door of the house
opens, and two ladies carrying a poor
mans fortune on their backs, descend the
steps. The footman swings down, and
opens the door, with an easy grace the
master cannot initiate. The door closes
with bang, the footman mounts, and the
coach rolls away. Well, it seems but yes
terday that the owner of all this came
here poor man ar
1--WE remember the fairy tale where the
old witch touched the pumpkin, and turn
ed it into a coach, and touched the rats,
and turned them into horses And SO,
the ugly witch of the lobby touched the
poor man, and out of fraud came the
coach, and out of theft came the horses,
and swindle drives, and stealings oil and
burnish. Like that witch, could touch
that man with this delicate little pen of
mine, and horses, ccachman and footman,
would all disappear. For honor and hon.
esty would claim their own, and the very
clothes would fall from the backs of wife
and daughters"

A wedding MiSta Ike.

A Gentleman of New Haven ordered a
wedding suit. among which was white
satin vest On the bridal evening, as the
clergyman was leaving the door, the gen
tleman took from pocket Of his vest, and
slipped gracefully into the parsons hand,
what he supposed was a S 10 note, that he
had put there for the purpose. The hon
eymoon had long passed, when the bride
groom had occasion to don again. for. a
party. his bridal vest, and putting his fin
gers into pocket, pulled out, to his great
horror, the identical bank note which he
supposed had months before gladdened the
heart Of the worthy curate. What could
he have given the parson on that occasion.
He ascertained the mex. day that he had
given him strip Of satin two or three
inches long, which the tailor had left in
the pocket Of the vest. Explanations and
hearty laugh followed.

wonder for the scientific.

The wonderful bolide Of Warsaw, few
months ago was something more fantastic
than anything the astronomer ever dream
ed Of. On a starlight night the citizens
Of that place gazed petrifed with fear at
the rapid approach of an immense ball of
fire, which at last burst over their heads
with noise and shock such as never has
been heard or felt before on the face of the
earth. After the globe burst, each of the
pieces, in turn. broke up, until parts of the
mass, before reaching the earth, were in
powder, the first discharge representing,
from the sound, the discharge of artillery.
and the smaller pieces. the railing dis
charge of many regiments Of small arms.
NJ Daubree, Of the French Academy of
Science, who has just been lecturing on
the subject, has obtained for the Academy
932 pieces Of the broken bolide. nj.
Krantz, of Bonn, gathered up for him
self 1912 pieces. Other professors have
done the same, and millions of pieces, yet
remain strewn over the district of country
where it broke
1t vas computed that this globe had a
surface of 1900 acres; and was conse-
quently large enough to maintain the life
Of many microscopic nations. Where did
| it come from-and what was the force that
directed it thus in straight line against
earth ? When first seen, it appeared as
large as the moon, and never appeared
larger till it struck our atmosphere, and
exploded. This fact shows its frightful
rapidity of motion for, from the distance
at which it appeared less than than the
moon, till the time it exploded, it must
have shot SO rapidly that the eye had not
time to perceive its enlargement. Then,
again, what was the cause Of the explo-
sion-and especially of an explosion SO
complete as to almost triturate the parti-
Giles? Was it the density of the earth's
atmosphere that broke tor was the ex-
plosion due to the contact gases Of the me-
teor with the constituents of the air 1t
is more consoling to adopt the first theory,
because we may then feel as if our atmos-
phere served as cuirass to the earth,
and would continue to protect us from the
stray globes like that of Warsaw. The
shock, and the spring of the air, must
have been something beyond the computa-
ton of man for it did not knock people
down, and yet it occurred at something
like fifty miles from the earth and the
pieces picked up show it to have been a
tolerably hard stone.

Hydrophobia Remedy.

A Venerable Ground Hog.

A Charlottesville, Ind, paper gives the
following account of an affair which occur
red there recently, and which has caused
quite an excitement among the people:
An enormous ground hog was killed by
Capt. James H. Vanarsdall, on last Tues
day afternoon, about two miles southwest
of the city. The hog was discovered by
the captain, gamboling around a large oak
tree. with no shadow, the day being dark
and rainy, to brighten him into his hole, a
hilarious pastime that no ground hog has
enjoyed in this latitude, it being the I'd of
February, for the last century. The cap
tain fired three shots before the brute was
slain, when, with the assistance of Cap
tain Joe Simpson, who opportunely came
up, on the firing Of the last shot, the game
was brought in town. Its net weight was
1877 ] pounds. This, we believe, is the
largest ground hog that has ever been kill
ed in this country, though we learn that
Mr.. Orlando Cory claims to have shot one
in. 1871, near the mouth of Ofiel Creek,
that brought the scales down to 275 3
pounds, it's tusks measuring eleven and a
half inches in length. Its carcass after
being dressed was found to contain no less
than eight copper bullets and four flint ar
row heads showing conclusiyely that it had
fourished in the days when the red men
Of the forest held undisputed sway in this,
the then far west. It's flesh, which was
rendered, yielded over thirty seven gallons
of oil. Z, ..
