Voltaire having paid some high compliments

ty of red tape used in the war office for the same
period far exceeded that of the post office

SIMoN's WIFE's MoTHER.-A countryman
was in New York on an August Sunday, and
crossed the Brooklyn ferry in the morning, for
the purpose of hearing Beecher. But 10, the
Plymouth pulpit was occupied by stranger,
who delivered tedious, commonplace sermon
from the text: "Aad behold SipOn'S Dife'S
mother lag sick Of a .feUer." Mr.. Beecher was
taking his summer vacation. In the afternoon
the countryman thought to console himself for
his mornings disappointment by listening to
f. ii. Chaplin. He was shown to a front seat by
the sexton of Mr.. Chapin's church, and in due
time was Mortified to see the minister of the
morning appear in the pulpit. The poor victim
heard, for the second time, the sermon from the
text: "And behold ,Simon's Wife'S mother Ian
sick Of teuer," and went out Of the sacred
place very much discouraged. Mr.. Chaplin was
taking his summer vacation.
In the evening the countryman, thinking to
redeem in a measure the defeat of the day, ac-
ceptcd a choice sitting in the Reformed Dutch
church, for the sake of hearing the genial, elo-
quent and scholarly Bethune. But his heart
quite broke when the devil that had possessed
him all day got up and gave out hymn. Aud
when the text was announced "ARd behold
SimoR'S rifles mother lag sck of a feBer," the
party who knew all about the subject, rushed
wildly from the overdose, and ran to his hotel
DIR. Bethune was taking his summer vacation.
The next morning the countryman took the first
train for home, and stepping into the car there
was his ministerial friend of the day before,
with his sermon under his arm. The New York
bells were ringing fire alarm, and says the
minister TO his lay brother, Friend, do you
know what those bells are tolling for?" Says
the countrymau, looking hard at the sermon, 81
don't know, but shouldn't wonder if Simon's
wife's mother was dead. l heard three times
yesterday that she was down with fever"

BEEF TEA.--Chambers' Journal says that
many persons believe that beef tea is very nour-
ishing, and that it is an excellent strengthener
for people of weak health. This is mistake

confirmed by DR.. Marcel. There is no nourish.

siding at Bledsoe's Landing, was muir
dered by another man named Smith.

men who were getting out a raft Of tim
Der near the landing, and told them that
he had killed Simmons, and asked them
to 90 up to his place and carry the dead
body into the house, as he knew tn hogs
would devour it before morning. The
men went and found Simmons body
lying in the front yard with one-hs.lf of
the head blown away. A man ns,med
Duncan was drunk and asleep in the
house. He was walked up and the body
was carried in. From Dnncan's state
ment it appears that the three men
Simmons, Smith and Dnncan-were on
a spree together that night, and Sim
mons and Smith got into a row, during
which Smith shot Simmons in the hea Z
with a shotgun. The passenger further
stated that Smith had not been arrested
and was still at large
