army is the one that can fight ten minutes
longer. The man who succeeds in great
cities is he who can, upon occasion, do
two days work in one, as he could, if re-

can lift 800 pounds, she ought to lift 200,

Ray advances the opinion that, other

reasons from the apologies OF physiology
that the greater the mental energies the
stronger would be its recuperative powers.
Many letters come to this department

years of strain and struggle. Fine health
is just as much talent as a lively appre-

How He Was Fooled.

From the Red Wing Argus, Nov. Is.
There dwelt hereabouts, until few
weeks ago, Il bright-tyed Young Miss,
! whose rounded proportions, fair face,
bright eyes and glossy hair attracted first
the attention and then the admiration of a
middle-aged man hailing from Winona
or its nejghborhood The man, said to
be wellto-do in the matter of money and
| lends, on his travels this way has endeav-
ored to add to his wealth or pay his way
by selling maps, and as a map peddler
may be remembered by some Of our read
ers. Through frequent meeting with the
young woman his admiration for her
grew into a passion, which was manifest
ed by presents of Iewelry, shawls and
| dresses. Unbe1nown to her middle aged
adorer, the young woman had another
and younger admirer, and to this young
er one she was recently married. Last
week the elder lover came to the home
OF the brides parents i'll IN adjoining
town, to remain for the night as had
been the custom, and then learned that
his wooing was in vain, and his presents
were lost investment. Straightway he
asked an interview with the bride, which
was granted, and, in rage, he demanded
OF her the return of his presents, especial
ly of a dress she had received from him
since her marriage. She hesitated about
giving up the presents-Some of them
were pretty, handsome, or becoming, and
she did not like to part with them, while
others were worn out OF otherwise dis
posed of. High words ensued; in his an
ger the lover that was, called the lady of
his heart, that was, by quite unprettv
names. Here the husband broke into the
room, ordered the unlucky lover out OF
the house, and backed his order by mus
cular demonstrations. On his backward
way to the door, the lover saw and secur-
ed an axe-helve With this weapon he
turned upon the young husband and
struck him upon the head and shoulders,
lnt1icting several severe bruises There
upon the husband drew Il revolver and,
firing four times, succeeded in sending a
bullet into the lovers shoulder, breaking
his shoulder blade, we have heard, but
cannot verify, for the surgeon of our city,
called to dress the wound, and while
standing in the brief robes of night, at his
open door, was sworn to secrecy upon an
iccle. before the case was given into his
charge-and well he kept his fearful oath.
Except what we have related, all we
know about the affair is that the elderly
gentleman from Winona, or elsewhere.
who falls in love with u young girl at
Red Wing, or elsewhere, ii he gives
dresses and ornaments, is in danger of

The Queens Lover.

A very eccentric and famous man died
in a howell in the St. Giles quarter, in Lon
don, the other day. Thirty years ago he
was one of the most celebrated men in
England He was chimney-sweep, and
he, like Fechter in the play, "loved the
Queen" He became SO infatuated after
the then young and fascinating royal lady
that he climbed down the chimney of ST..
James Palace a number of times, but cs-
capped when chased, save on one occasion.
when he was about to enter the Queens
apartments, and shut into Tuthill-street
prison. AS soon as his time was up he
tried repeatedly again TO see the Queen,
and the police took the matter in hand.
He was arrested, taken into Gravesend,
embarked on board the Diamond, and
sent to Australia. He lived for many
years at Sidney, but he was allowed to
return to England about five years ago,
always desperately enamored of the
Queen. His remaining years were spent
in miserable poverty A fortnight since a
rumor was one day started in London that
Queen Victoria was dead. He heard it
just as he was retiring to rest, uttered a
groan and died instantly. The untortu-
nate beings name was Edward Jones.

A Suicides Sensations.

A man in Harrisburg recently attempt

having saved his life, he narrates his eX-

The OriqinaI ShYIock.

A corl espondent of the Jewish Chroni-
Gle calls attention to the fact that the orig
inal of Shakspeare's Shylock was Chris
tan, and not a Jew. He quotes from the
18th book of Gregorio Let's Biography of
Sixtus V. in proof OF this. A Roman
merchant, named Sechi, heard that Admi-
raj Francis Blake had conquered San Do
mingo, and communicated the news to a
Jewish merchant named Ceneda. The
latter was SO confident in the falseness of
the news that, after repeated protesta.-
tions, he said, 81 bet pound Of my flesh
that the report is untrue" ''And lay q
thousand scudi against it." rejoinea the
Christian, who caused 4 bond to be drawn
up to the effect that in case the report
should prove untrue, then the Christian
merchant, Signor Paul M. Sechi, is bound
to pay the Jewish merchant the sum of
1000 scudi and, on the other hand, if the
truth Of this news be confirmed, the Chris
tan merchant Signor Paul NJ. Sechi, is
justified and empowered to cut with his
own hands, with well-sharpened knife,
pound of the Jews fair flesh, of that
part of the body it might please him.
When the news proved true, the Christian
insisted on his bond; but the governor,
having got wind of the affair, reported it
to the Pope, who condemned both Jew
and Christian to the galleys, from which
they could only be ransomed by paying a
fine of 200O scudi to the hospital of Six
tine Bridge.
New STORY ABOUT DEAN RICHMOND

a new story about the late Dean Richmond,
who was known far and wide for his pro-
family and gruffness of manner. Rich
mond was here at the time, and my in
formant, who was then boy working in
printing office wished to get a pass
over the Central Railroad. With this
purpose in view he entered the Off ce
where the magnata was, fearing that he
would be rudely rebutfed when he made
his mission known. After moments
hesitation he said, falteringly:
"Mr. Richmond, l believe ?"
Eyes; what do, you want of me ~
II should like; sir, to get pass from
Albany TO Buffalo, as can 90 up on the
boat for nothing
''On what grounds do you ask for Il
pass?" (This with a rising and very
rough voice.)
son the grounds, sir, that don't want
to pay my fare"
Richmond, without another word, wrote
out a pass and handed it to the applicant.
The boy took it, saying, Thank YOU :;
thank you, Mr., Richmond.
"You needn't thank me. youngest er.
I'm id glad to accommodate you. You
are the first person Eve ever known, by
