AN OUTSIDER SPEAKS,

Yesterday. in the Senate, during the
election of judges for the circuit, there
was quite an episode.
A tter the nomination OF Mr.. fred

President stated thu further nomina
lions were then III order. A portly
gentleman, of blooming checks and dark
hair, appeared il the aisle; raising his
head, and barely opening one eye, he
addressed the Chair: 'sMay it please
your Honor, / should like Here
his remarks we're cut short by Colonel
Marye, who requested the Sergeant-at-
Arms to state to the gentleman that
such proceeding was entirely uncalled
for anu disorderly. Captain Harrison
showed the gentleman the door, and
sent him on his way rejoicing, to some
other field OF glory, where his nomina-
tions would not be CUT short, and where
he could offer them to much better ad-
vantage.
The gentleman referred to had been
regaling himself by a nap on the sofa
in a sitting posture, inside the iron rail

of which, we believe, was the too free
use Of "wet groceries; but, rousinS

posed to regret somewhat that his de
ba.e came TO such an untimely end.--

NUMBER
AN INDIAN TRICK.

The following extract from soldier
on the plains to friend in Milwaukee
is printed in the Euening Wisconsin of
that city:
awe are after the Indians hot blast,
and tell You, the man who picks these
fellows up for dogans finds himself woe
fully deceived. A part of oIr troop had
been OH trail of small band of Sioux,
and they had lodged us, and 5etrothed
us, and beat us, Until we determined to
have them, let come what might. One
day we come upon them. and /; appear
cd. so suddenly, too, that there was no
chance for them to escape. Each man
seated himself squarely in his saddle,
and with revolver in hand, we dashed
on. There squat each identical Sioux
on his pony Just as though we were
miles away, and as stoiealiy Indifferent
as though they did not care n continent
tai. As we at full gallop, drew near,
the officer i'm command felt that we
were riding into some trap, but it was
too late to sound a retreat, and on we
went.
81 think the distance between us and
the Sioux and their ponies Was just
twelve feet before single redskin had
moved muscle; then, quicker than
you could say seat off fron, the slleul-
ders of each identical Sioux came the
fiery red blanket he wore, and up and
down it was shaken vigorously in the
very taceso of our horses. We had boast
ell a great deal over those horses, and
they would do anything we wanted
them to--tlat is to say, they would
drive through prairie fire. alonss de
a bull buffalo, through prairie dog vii
lage and over dead Indians, but tell
YOU, you onght to have seen them, to n
horse, turn tail and run from those
blankets. We we're going along so nice
ly, and each trooper was so eager to
make dead sure thing OF his redskin,
that we let the horses have n,uch their
own way and we repented OF it. Just
us frightened as they could be they paid
no attention to curb, and away they
went in every direction.
Troopers were sprawling on the
ground, and others were clinging to
horses name, with both feet not only
out of the stirrups. but pointing up in
the air. 1t was the worst stampede /
ever saw. and have looked on at some'
in my dav. II the Sioux had followed
ND. they might have made few scalps,
but they seemed so we'll pleased with
the result of the trick that those who
we're unhorsed near them say they dis

assembled, we, one and all, declared
that the thir O was the best of the kind
ever heard of, but determined that we

A MODERN BLUEBEARD.

DR.. William ID. Potts, alias Duvall,
and old resident of Newark N. j., has
boon convicted of the murder OF his
fourth wife, at Janesvilie, Wisconsin,
and sentenced to be imprisoned for
life, the severest punishment that can
be inflicted under the laws of Wiseon-
sin. The convicted villain Is Jersey
man by birth having been burn in the
southern part OF the State near Tren-
toi, where his family was well connect-
ed In his early lille he was a clergy
man, and at the age of fourteen was
widely known as the boy preacher
He followed this profession up to the
age of thirty. when he relinquished it
entirely tor the practice of medicine.
The record of his career Is principally
a record OF murders He had four
wives two of whom belonged to promi-
nent New Jersey families, aud were
married to the doctor during his resi-
Gence in the State. The manner OF
their deaths ii. the time regarded as
suspicious coupled with the ascertain
ed fact that the doctors last wife was
poisoned by HIM, convinces us all who
are familiar with the circumstances
that they met their death at his hands.
His third wife he married IN Buffalo,
N. Y, and she died also suddenly and
without appai ent cause, two years al
terward. About a year ago he married
Miss Elizabeth Moore, of Janesville,
aud after living with her six months
she was in turn sacrificed her death be-
ing the result of poison administered
by him. IN. Y. World.

"GoING INTO DEBT. "

In recent lecture Horace Greely,
with much good sense, said
"Half the young men in the country,
with many old enough to know better,
would '.go into business" that is, into
debt--tomorrow if they could. Most
poor mon are SO ignorant as to envy
the merchant and manufactured whose
life is an incessant struggle with p' cli-
piary difficulties, who Is driven to con-
star t "shining," and who from month
10 month, barely evades that lnsoiveH-
CIV which sooner or later overtakes
most men in business; so that 1t has
been computed that but one in twenty
of them achieves Il pucuniary success.
For nv own part-snd l speak from
sad experience-I would rather be
convict in State prison, slave IN a
rlceswamp than to pass through lie
under the harrow of dept. Let no man
ni.iudge himself unfortunate or truly
poor. poor sc long as lie has the fllli
use Of his limbs and faculties. and is
substantially free from debt. Hunger
cold. rags. hard work, contempt, sus-
picion, unjust reproach, are dilagreea
HE. but debt is infinitely worse than
them all; and if it had pleased God TO
snare either, or all of NY sons to be the
support OF my declining years, the les-
sou which | should most earnestly
seek to impress upon them is never
to run into debt | repeat, my friends
avoid pecuniary obligations rs you
would pesti.ence ard famine. II you
have but fifty Genes aid can get ho
more for a week, buy a peck of corn,
parch 1t and rive OH ii rather than owe
any man a dollar or course, know
that some men must do business ;hal
involves risks, and must oflen give
notes and obligations, and do not
consider him really in debt who car
Law his hand directly on the means ol
paying at some little sacrifice, all ne
owes; | speak OF real debt, that whicf
involves risk or sacrifice, on the ont
side obligations and dcpednencs on the
other, and say, from all such, let eve

FOOD FOR CHILDREN.

Children need more food in proper

they have not only to supply tho waste
of the system, but to furnish besides
material for growth. Plan hearty
food and all they want OF it, is right
for healthy children. Many mothers

PARLoR TRICKS.

Tho following tricks of legerdemain
will be read with interest. aud may be
practiced with amusement and pleas
ure, bI our juvenile friends. On rainy
days and long dull evenings they will
ade much to the pleasure OF indoor
sports, and while uway the otherwise
tiresome time:
THE MAGIC STIcK.-To do this trick
properly, you will need a pearl-handle
knife and stout hardwood stick some
two inches liz length. Sharpen the
two ends of the stick and then try to
crush il endways, either between your
hands, or by sitting upon 1t. This to
the astonishmen. of the company, you
will find impossible to do. The better
to deceive them, keep perfectly
calm countenance.
2. The Four JACKS. Select pack
# cards with plain white backs. Take
the four jacks and burn them before
the company letting them see the ash
es. Now, shuttle the cards quickly and
holding them in the left hand, give
them sharp rap, with the face down
and defy the company to find the jacks.
You will have them completely foiled.
3. The CABLE Trick. Fake s piece
of tarred rope, which you may call joe
ularly the cable a. Mantchou, Tartary.
about fifteen inches in length, cut it
carefully with sharpe knife, aid then
try and chew the ends together. Any
of the company trying it would get
stuck ot once.
A. 1HE n All TRIcK.-Fake two large
wrought iron nails and wire them to-
gether in the form of an X. 1t Will
then be found impossible to swallow
them. There is NJ deception about
this.
5. The MAGIC EGGs.-Put twelve fresh
eggs carefully into green worsted
bag. Hold the bag up at arms length
in view of the company; then swing 1t
rapidly about your head and 30 puz-
zle them still More take care to strike
it two or three times against the door
post. Then ask the company, smiling
whether they will have them boiled,
scrambled. or fried. II will make no
difference to you which they choose.
6. The FLYING HEN. Select large
well sfed hen--the color is imniaterlal,
though black is best place her IN alt
ting posture on a smooth surface. Then
place over her pasteboard box eigh-
teen by thirty inches. Pound smartIy
OH the top with q bone -handlc table,
knlfc tor three minutes. and then sud-
denly raise it, when the hen will i'm
medately fly awav. This trick can be
performed by any person OF average
intelligence, who gives his whole mind
to it.
