CUTTING A FIGURE. Larry is a good
natured, civil fellow, who attends to his
business and provides well for bis family,
but has one falling in this, that when he
goes to his home at night he IS usually
more or less under the influence of contra
band spirits. One night he started for
home with rice turkey, safely done up in
strong writing paper, under his arm. Larry
found the road to his house uncommonly
rough that night, He several times Stun
bled and fell over all sorts of obstacles in
his path. Each time he fell he dropped hs
turkey, bat contrived to pick it up again.
On entering his house, he steadied himself
as well as possible, and said to his wife:
Here, wifey, I've got 'leven turkeys for
you"
''Eleven turkeys, Larry What do you
mean? There's only one.
.eThere must be Ieven turkeys, wifey, for
I fell down leven times, and every time
found turkey There must be 'leven
turkeys"

A. tobacco chewer in Missouri, on
taking chew of tobacco, felt something
sting him on the lip. On examination he
found he had been stung by hornet. This
insect. though imbedded in the tobacco for
months. was still alive, and lived several
hours after having been cut in two with the
knife.
"A German paper states thai the Swed-
ish law which punished proselytism from
the Lutheran Evangelical Church by fines
has just been repealed. The Evangelical
Alliance has been actively at work to bring
! about complete toleration in Sweden, and
this announcement looks like the attain
ment of that long-desired end.

Heavy Earthquake in MendOeino
California,


From the yallego Chronicle. Aug. 49,
Mr.. o. Scholl, brother-in-law Of Mel
son Vanderlip, of Vallejo, furnishes us
with the following in regard to a series
Of earthquake shocks experienced in
Mendocino and Lake counties on the
18th inst. He was in Anderson valley,
Mendocino county, at the time, and these
we're the first tembl0res he had ever ex-
perienced. The first shock occurred at
ll:20 on Thursday night, and during
the fwenty-four following hours forty-six
distinct shocks were felt, ten of which
we're severe. The first shock was the
heaviest noticed, and was accompanied
by low rumbling sound, followed by a
heavy report Nearly every chimney in
that section was shattered or tumbled
down, aud window panes we're cracked
and broken. A druggist had a large
quantity Of bottles and glass jars de
stroyed. and drugs and chemicals piled
promiscuously together. Limbs from ten
TO twenty inches in thickness were
broken from trees, and on the ridges
trees even we're upr0oted. In the valley
large cracks were opened in the ground
from some Of which water and blue mud
were elected During the following day
some Of the shocks were so severe as 10
be apparent on horseback. The Indi-
ans were frightened from the mountains,
and fed into the valley. crying "Diablol
Diabloi" The sensation. was new 70
many Of them, and all their superstitious
fears were aroused. Shocks on the same
day were felt at Healdsburg. and in por-
tons Of Lake county, though lighter in
degree. The disturbance Of mother
earth extended over an area Of sixty or
more miles in length. although the heavi-
est vibrations seem TO have been confined
TO Anderson valley and the adjacent
mountains. which rocked as though they

A Crazy Frenchman-Firing Upon
the Red Cross.

The advance of the Germans into
France seems to have fairly crazed some
of the inhabitants Of the latter country.
At one village where they entered man
stood up and swore at them till he was
black in the face. Then, when his voice
was utterly exhausted, he tore off pieces
of his clothing and threw them at the
heads of the officers. One of these
said TO him, "Do you know that we can
shoot you7p Here am shoot
away cries the Frenchman, squaring
himself straight in the path of the
troops, Ultimately the troops had to
surrender to this inyincible, and file
around him. Another incident, which |
did not like 10 hear, was told to me by
one of the chief physicians who has the
care Of the wounded 1t has been
agreed upon by the belligerent nations
that a red cross upon white ground
worn conspicuously on the sleeve, shall
be the badge of one whose business it is
TO look after the wounded, and that
these shall be held strictly sacred
from attack. Not far, however, from
Saltz, in France, some enraged citizens
fred on corps Of Germans with these
badges and their ambulances. Then
followed a very ugly scene. Eighteen of
those who thus fired land they did it
openly, without any attempt to escape
were taken out and Immediately shot.
The German commander declared it
would be impossible to order unarmed
people to go upon hostile territory, to
take care Of both French and Germans,
unless it was thoroughly understood that
they would be protected by the ex-
tremest penalties. give you these
