SEVERAL weeks since two convicts in the
Maine State Prison, by the name of Hickey
and Murphy, got into an alteration, and
while fighting Hickey got the thumb cf the
right hand of Murphy into his, (Hickey's)
mouth, and chewed il badly. They both
worked in the wash house, down under the
quarry bank, and away from the immediate
eye OF the guards. So mortified was Murphy
at the manner OF receiving his injury that ne
took no care whatever OF his hand, out con-
tinued at his work of washing, dipping his
hand in hot and cold water, running IN and
ont OF doors. and otherwise exposing himself.
In a few DAYS the hand and arm became in
fiamed, extensive suppuration took place, both
tne fleshy and bony tissue became very
much diseased, and bis general health was en-
feebled TO such an extent, as to require ampu-
tation OF the right arm half way between the
elbow and shoulder, on Tuesday March LIST.
His recovery is rather doubtful, but is more
certain now that amputation has taken place,
than ii that large mass OF diseased arm, had
been left to further distress and annoy him.
Murphy was sentenced to the State Prison for
highway robbery, and his period OF sentence
was twenty years, four of which he has al
ready served. Daring the war he served in
the navy.-Erchdn9e. r"H-

POWERS OF LITTLE WOMEN.

There is charm about a handsome
little woman, one of those petite Cos
sips" that always carries man by storm,
no matter whether he is old or young.
The tall, stately lady, looking like a
queen in her attire, impresses you with
awe, as well as admiration. She is calm,
and speaks methodically, and saunters
slowly and so quietly along that you
scarcely note her progress. If she has
a lover she never allows him to go be-
yond the bounds of mere speaking
acquaintance, and if married and a
mother, she fondles her child in public,
at least, as if she was its aunt come
from long way of to look at it, for
fear its little wee fingers would disturb
collar or pluck one of those frigid
flowers from her bonnet.
All is different with little women. If
they want charitable subscription, you
can give it out the moment they enter,
for they never leave without it. They
go at you with a rush, know you in a
minute, and, so long as You are gem
tIeman, they will rattle along, gossip
ping, chatting of fashions, music and
business in way that makes old hearts
pine and ache to be young again. They
have no dignity. If they want to run,
they run; they toss baby as If he were
a cat, sure if he fell, to light on his feet
without harm, and if clothes are ruffied
or ribbons pulled away, they don't care,
for little woman never looks any other
way than handsome, dress herself as she
will. And how they coax! They are
veritable lawyers to argue and dispute
You with the coolest audacity, laugh at
Your arguments, and, as last resort,
put on t1pout" that is a clincher on any
thing belonging to the human family.
A little woman never lives to old
maidenhood. They can't help but mar
ry, for they have to do it to keep the
peace, and settle the vexed question
among their adorers. Where a hand
some tall woman waits for one lover,
the little petite runs away with the hearts
of twenty. They never go out without
exciting admiration, though they are CO.
quettes. They are born to attract atten-
ton, and they know il; and how they
sympathize. Let a child fall on the walk,
and the little woman rubs off the dirt,
adjusts the clothing, chases away the
tears, and rattles on with spoor child
t'nice boy" ssthere, don't cry in q way
that makes the little urchin dream every
night for q month of fairy forms and an
gel beings. If sick, the form of little
woman is like sunbeams, her little body
is all over the house, her sympathizing
voice ever in your ear, and one must get
well out of a feeling that the act will
oblige her.
Little men are fidiculed by the female
sex, and they do look odd, but little wo-
men are a whirlwind which blows the
worst old bachelor into the sea of mat
rimony, in spite of any grip. he may
take on solemn VOWS to live a single and
wretched life. If there are angels In
heaven, and the Good Book tells us so,
they surely are the bIithesome spirits of
the mercifui, dutiful and winsome little
women.

ANECDOTES.
When Mr.. Jefferson and his grandson
were riding out together, passing a
strange slave who bowed to them, Mr..
j. raised his hat and bowed; his grand
son not returning the salutation, he said,
Thomas; do you permit slave to be
more of a gentleman than yourself?
MFR. Jefferson's face wore an open,
frank, benevolent expression, which led
a stranger at once to confide in him.
While riding on horseback with two of
his nephews and another young gentle
man, they came to creek swollen with
recent rains, beside which sat rough
appearing man holding saddle. he
suffered the young men all to pass into
the stream, but as Mr.sI approached, he
asked him to carry him across, which
he did willingly. When some of those
in the rear came up and asked him why
he did not request some of the young
men to carry him over, he answered:
''Wall, reckon a man carries yes or no
in his face-the young chaps faces said
old 'un's said yes" When told
it was the President of the United
States, he said: "When / get home to
Kentucky and tell Polly l rid behind
j Jefferson, she'll say voted for the right
man."
He was very merciful and kind mas
ter, and gave express instructions to his
oVerseer that his servants should not be
and the consequence was
that a very small average of work was
performed on his estate, and the plans
he laid out were far from being re-
allied.
He had the most profound confidence
in the. capacity of the masses for self
but he did not undervalue
education as means of qualifying them
for an intelligent exercise of self-goV
ment.
He was taken ill during the last days
of June, and fingered till midday of
the 4th of July, 1926, and passed away
on the nations glorious birthday.-N.
