A WIDew's WuEs.--They tell about q
blooming young widow in Derby who used tc
live next door to Mr. Smith, who was wild
over and timij man, whose mild eyes
beamed blandly through his spectacles. The
widow had kindness for Smith, and he re
ciprocated it: but he had hardly enough
courage to carry on the campaign. So al
last the widow pretended to be terribly afraid
of thunder and lightning. and whenever she
saw q gust coming up, she used to smooth hel
hair aud rush into Mr.. Smiths house.
Then. when she heard a peal of thunder
she would scream and rush up and throw hel
arms around the neck of the mild-eyed Smith
and implore him to protect her, and Smith
always looked embarrassed and anxious, anG
said he would. Then she would faint, ant
Smith would feel half glad and half sorry
About six thunderstorns settled the business
and now she is Mrs. Smith and Smith-h'
is only sorry that her aaprehensions of th'
lightning were not realized. He says that i
there ever was woman who ought TO have
been torn to pieces by electricity, it vas tina
widow. She mas thunder-storms every day
now in Smiths house, and it is lively ant
vigorous for Smith around there.

SELF They lived together seven years with
out children, when his wife gave birth to
twins, boy and girl. In the fifteen years
which followed, nineteen children were born
to the happy cou ole, each of the first three
births being twins, and each subsequent birth
alternating between twins and single births
until the fifteen years were accomplished and
nineteen children composed the family circle,
seven pair of twins being born during the
time Mr.. Jetfries is only forty-ive years
old. and is still youthful in appearance and
very stout. His wife never had better health
in al her life than at present, though she will
not weigh hundred pounds. Her greatest
weight at any time was 10 pounds the
boy of the first twins l65 pounds, the girl l25

WHAT SOCRATES WANTED.-They say now
that Xantippe, the wife of Socrates, did not
live happily with her husband because his
income was only eight dollars and sixty-two
cents year, and she never could make ends
meet. The trouble with her was that she
lived away back in those old classical times
when domestic economy was not proper
ly understood. We know more about il
now. There fer instance, is that member OF
the Legislature of whom we spoke some time
ago. He went to Albany for two Winters
upon salary of one thousand dollars. and
he saved thirty-four thousand dollars by go
ing without hired girl and doing bis own
washing What Socrates and the rest OF
those ignorant Greeks needed was the en-
lightened intelligence which is the outgrowsh
of Christian civilization.

THE WAY TO DO TIT is notifying to
americans, who have been trained to sup
pose that the standard of official honesty is
higher here than under less favored govern
mental forms, to find that justice is melted
out more promptly abroad to those who vio-
late the public confidence reposed in them
than here. The Prussian government, for
example, suffered last year to the extent of
SO, 900 by the defalcation of public function
aries. All of them are now in the peneten-
tiary. If all our peculators and defaulters
were dealt with as thoroughly, the penitenti-
aries in the country would have to be en-
larged

A BROTHER AND SISTER UNITED IN MAR
RIAGE.-Some years ago, ct New Albany,
Indiana, a married couple died suddenly,
leaving two children, boy and girl, in des-
titute circumstances. The boy was shortly
afterward taken to the far West, and after
the death of his adopted parents became a
rover. At the age Of twenty-five, in the
course of his travels, he got back to the place
of his birth. He met, fell in love with and
married beautiful girl. Three years passsd
away, bringing them much Happiness and two
children. About this time an old man, who
had been a former resident, came into the
neighborhood on visit, and having known
the young man in his infancy, gave him the
history of his childhood and convinced him
that he had married his sister. Tears and

Professor Sementeni, who narrowly watched
all his operations and endeavored to discover

that when Lione,to applied piece of red hot
iron to his hair dense fumes immediately rose
from 1t, and the same occurred when he
touched his foot with the iron. He also saw

covered on the application of hot water that
their insensbility was increased. He then
determined on again rubbing the parts with
soap, and after this found that the hot iron
not only occasioned no pain, but that it actu-

MONTGOMERY BLAIR ON THE LAST DEMO
CRATIC DEPARTuRE.-Hon.M Montgomery Blair
delivered speech at Sligo, Montgomery coun-
ty, Maryland, on the 2lst ult., in which he
maintained the proposition first brought out
by the St Louis Republican, recently, that
the Democratic policy should be to make no
Presidential nomination for 1872, but leave
an opponent to the Radical Republicans to
be nominated by the conservative men of
that party. Mr.. Blair concluded:
Can the leaders of the party in the nation
initiate the selt-denying wisdom by which
the Democratic leaders of Missouri emanci-
pated their people from Radical thraldom last
year? Will they enable Carl Schurz and
other undetermined true friends of liberty to.
do for the nation what he did for Missouri !?
1t is no longer question between parties
it is whether we shall have as despotic and
absolute a personal government as France.

Democratic candidacy till we restore Consti-
tutional Government, and get rid of martial
law and military domination.
