SomnOIence Extraordinary.

A very good joke that on an attache
of prominent publishing house, who,
on last Thursday evening, escorted a
young lady to the opera. The gentle
man had been compelled by his busi-
ness to work hard of late and, feeling
quite tired, is it any wonder that the
easy jolting of the carriage over the
wooden pavements of West Washing
ton street should put him to sleep2
The lady having no one to criticise the
play with her, or discuss the mer
its and dement's of their acquaintances,
also wUoed the drowsey god, and pret-
ty soon both occupants of theelegantly
upholstered clarence were fast asleep.
Nor was this all. The driver, some
how, managed to fall asleep also, and
as the horses were kind and gentle,
they logged along faithfully until No.
- Washington street had been
reached. Here they stopped in front
of the house, and there they remained
until morning. Whether the gentle
man and lady, or the driver woke first
is not known; but is was nearly two
o'clock when they did discover their
absurd situation. Chicago Times.

A Touching Scene.

A singular incident occurred in the
Office of a Louisville a,torney-at-law
last week. A couple VINO had, been
married for sixteen or seventeen years
had wearied of the matrimonial har.
ness, and the wife had brought suit for
divorce, upon the ground of cruel and
inhuman treatment. The affidavits
had all been made out in due form
and fled in the courts, and she had
called at the Office of the attorney that
day for the purpose of urging him to
push the suit. While seated in the
Office her husband came in. He sat
and looked at his wife for some time,
and then said, "Old women we lived
together for long time" The wife
replied. "Yes, we did," The husband
said, Don't you think we had better
! try it again ?" The wife replied, eyes
if you will act right" The old man
rose up, lifted his hands to Heaven,
and, with voice tremulous with emo
tion, repeated his VOWS to nourish,
cherish, love, honor and protect until
death the bride Of his youth, and then
folded her to his bosom, and they wept
together for joy. Even the Ainty-heart-
ed attorney, who saw a good case with
big fees fading forever from the sight,
was moved to tears. The gentleman
then paid his fees and costs, and the
attorney was authorized to withdraw
the pending suit, and the old people
left the office hand-in-hand and as hap
by as June bugs.

The Money-Order System.

The money-order system is intended
to promote public convenience and in
sure safety in the transfer through the
mails of small sums of money. The
mode by which safety is secured con-
sists in leaving out Of the order the
name of the payee or party for whom
the money is intended. In this respect
a mAney.order differs from al ordinary
bank draft or check. An advice or
notification containing full particulars
of the order is transmitted by the
Issuing postmaster to the postmaster at
the office of payment. The latter is
thus furnished, before the order itself
can be presented, with the necessary
information to detect fraud, if any
should be attempted.
In view of frequent mail robberies
citizens will find it to their advantage
to patronize the postal order system, as
then there is no possibility Of their be
ing the losers should their letter con
tanning the order be lost or stolen, a
it will be duplicated by the postmaste
from whom the order was bought.
The rates of commission charged 70
money-orders are as follows; On OF
ders not exceeding $50, 10 cents owe
500, and not exceeding $50, 10 cents
over $50, and not exceeding $40, 2
cents; over $40 and not exeeedin
$50, 25 cents. r--

Shocking Affair in sOmerville, Mass

At the lard refinery of Lincoln,
Chamberlin & Co., (of Boston, in
Somerville, a shocking accident occur
red on Monday afternoon about five
o'clock. The vats for rendering the
lard are tanks that rise about three
feet above the floor and are about
nine in depth. While engaged in some
work about one of them, Mr.. George
Lincoln accidentally slipped, and in
attempting to recover his balance fell
over the side of the vat into the boil
ing lard, the scalding mass enveloping
his entire body. A young man named
Morrison was the first to witness the
accident, and in an unsuccessful at
temp to get Mr. Lincoln out of the vat
was himself badly burned. Assistance,
however, was speedily obtained, and
the unfortunate man was taken out in
a condition almost too horrible for des.
criptlon. Life remained, ,howeyer,and
Drs. Hooker and Barrett were imme-
diately summoned. They did all that
laid in their power to alleviate the
suferings of Mr.. Lincoln, but pro-
nounced his recovery hopeless. He
died about two hours after the acci-
dent, in great agony. His brother.in-
law, Mr. Morrison, suffered excessive
ly from the scalding received in at
tempting to get the victim out of the
vat, The terrible accident occurred
while Mr.. Lincoln was brushing out
the vat, when he slipped from the plat
form. He resides in Boston, was about
twenty-four years of age and married

he will meet with in literature, news
papers and conversation. For these
reasons the mastery of the elements of
the physical sciences ought to form a
portion of every boys education. But
there is another consideration which
ought not to be overlooked, aud that
is, that the boy of to-day will be the
citizen of tomorrow, perhaps the leg
islator of the next day therefore it is
important that he should be taught the
rudiments of law and political econo-
my, together with a clear and sufficient
explanation of the principles of the
history of this country, and of so
much of that of England as will en-
able him to better comprehend our
own. Add to this q moderate train
ing in elocution, and the youth starts
in his business life with reasonable
prospects of success, always providing,
however, that he keeps clear Of vice
and frivolty and is strictly honorable,
otherwise all knowledge in the world
will be but of limited benefit 10 him.
On the other hand a purely learned
education will be of comparatively
small benefit to the youth who, brought
~ in aftiuence, is, through his own OF
u =,
his pa ,-ent's misfortune, compelled to
seek his liyi,,,,a in-business. 1t will be
to him like going to school a second
time, and he will wish he knew less
about Greek particles and Acre about
practical affairs.

A JUVENILE MorHEK.-A census
taker, going his round, stopped at an
elegant brick dwelling~house, the ex-
act locality of which is no business of
anybody. He was received by a stiff,
well.dressed lady, who could well be
recognized as widow Of some years
standing. On learning the mission OF
her visitor the lady invited him to take
a seat in the hall. Having arranged
himself in working position he IN
quired for the number of persons in
the family of the lady. eight, sir"
replied the lady, including myself.
Every well-your age, madam
"My age, sirr"replied the lady, with
piercing, dignifed look. Il con-
ceive it's none Of your business what
my age might be; you are inquisitive,
sir" "The law compels me, madam,
to take the age of every person in the
ward; it's my duty to make the in.
quiry.'' "Well, if the law compels
you to ask, presume it compe's me to
answer. am between thirty and for

thing--I am only thirty-three years of
age" Every well, madam. putting
down the figuers, '.just as you say.
Now for the ages of the children, COM

please" Josephine, my youngest, is

ayes, sir. Is there anything remarka'
bic in her being of that ageT "Well,
no, l can't say that there is; but is it
!. not remarkable that you should be her
mother when you were only eight years

About that time the census-taker
was observed running out of the house,
1t was the last time he pressed lady
n to give her exact age.

Spanish Barbarities to Cubars.

An account of the shocking treat
ment of Cuban leaders by Spaniards,
in Havana, appears in a correspon-
dence from that city on the 23d.
Twenty prisoners, all women and chill
dren, reached Havana by railway, and
we're led from the depot to the prison
under guard, and all of them, even
children only five and six years old
lad been tightly pinioned by the arms.
AT the head of the sad procession
marched two handsome young ladies
of eighteen years, both hand-cuffed.
One was the daughter-in-law of Presi-
dent Cespedes. the other a daughter
Of General Giguerdo, recently CARROT
ed in Santiago. The ladies were all
members Of the best of families on
the island. AS these unfortunate crea-
lures passed through the streets the
Spanish mob threatened them, and in
some instances attempted violence.
