ANNIE GLINN was the name of the girl
who shot herself at Newton, mention Of
which We made yesterday. A Kansas City
paper says:
Annie GIinn, formerly Of ST. Louis, was
al one time "beer jerker" in this city. The
exigences Of her profession led her to New
ton, where she loved a railroad man who
didn't love her. Her resolve was quickly
taken. She sent the cook of the dance
house at which she was living to buy for her
cold pizen, and the cook wouldn't go. Annie
then procured pistol and sent an ounce Of
cold lead whizzing through her anatomy.
She at once sent for the railroad man. He
came and her eye- never left him from the
moment he entered the room until the film Of
death shut out all sight Of the outer world.

The portly justice, wishing to decide

remarked;

the strap?"
"Whatr' interrupted the dignifed

is quarter under there?"
"Sarliur' was the reply.
"No such thing" said the justice.
"I'll go you dollar on it." exclaim-
ed the prisoner
"Agreed p said the justice.

strap was Withdrawn, when 10! there
was the quarter.

A Practical Joke.

The Congrcgqtionalist has an anec-
dote a few days ago Two young men
went from Massachusetts to Hartford
to make a visit. They were excellent
in every way, and carried little relig-
ious cards in their pockets with suita-
ble mottos, in order to SOW seed by the
wayside. They we're very anxious to
see DIR. Bushnell, and yet did not feel
bold enough to call on the great man.
The relative whom they were visiting,
was engaged in one of the banks, and
told them that the doctor was in the
habit of dropping in there pretty Oft
en-; and that in fact, he must come
in soon, as there was some money await
ing him. One morning while the two
were in the bank thinking that perhaps
the Doctor might happen in an elder.
~ man with a felt hat, put on rather
slouchlly, a grayish black suit, big
oak walking stick, and the air Of u

came in as though he belonged there,
and received thick roll of greenbacks
from the cashier. They had that vile
smell which money much handled gets,
and the old gentleman (it was DR..
Bushnell began in his sharp way to
jerk out something about this "flthv
currency" and to stigmatize it with
terms a good deal more forcible than
elegant. The young men looked at
the elderly one with a good deal OF
commiseratiou and overhauling Their
religious cards, picked out one, and sp-
preaching him, put it into his hand. 1t
contained the words, "Are your
thoughts sure?" What the doctor
thought can hardly be imagined, but
we can conjecture what the young men
thought, when their friend came out
from behind the counter, unconscious
of what had passed, and introduced
them to the Rev. DIR. Bushnell, Of
whose piety they had heard SO much,
and whom they so greatly desired to
see. History drops the veil on the
scene at just this point. ,j

Kiss My Wife or Fight.

There are a few married men who
are not averse to seeing their wives
kissed, but a correspondent relates the
particulars of a case in which a newly
welded Benedict felt himself insult
ed because his wife was not kissed.
The bridegroom was q stalwart young
rustic, who was known as a formidable
operator in "free fight" His bride
was beautiful and blooming country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and the
twain were OF party where number
of young folks 0f both sexes were en-
joying themselves in the good old fash
ioned style. Every girl in the room
was called out and kissed, except r.,
the beautiful young bride aforesaid ;
and, although there was not young
ster who was not dying to taste her
lips, they were restrained by the pre-
sence of her nerculean husband, who
stood regarding the party with look
of sullen dissatisfaction. They, how.
ever, mistook the cause, for suddenly
he expressed himself:
Rolling up his sleeves, he stepped
into the middle of the room, and in a
tone of voice that at once secured
marked attention, said:
"Gentlemen, l have been noticing
how things have been working here
fer some time. and l amt satisfied.
don't want to raise a fuss, but

cd half a dozen voices. "Have we
done anything to offend your"
eyes, you have; all of you have
hurt my feelings, and | have got just
this to say about it. Here's every girl
in the room has been kissed nigh Il
dozen times apiece, and there's my
wife, who consider as likely as any
of 'em, has not had single one to
night; and just tell you now, if she
don't get as many kisses the rest Of
the night as any other girl in the room
the man that Sights her has got me to
lick-that's all. Now ge ahead with

TooPoor.

Moore, of the Rural New Yorker, was
sitting in his office, one afternoon,
some years ago, when a farmer friend
came in and said "Mr. Moore, | like
your paper, but times are so hard ]
cannot pay for it,"
as that so, friend Jones? I'm very
sorry to hear that you are so poor
if you are So hard run | will give you
my paper"
ooh, mol | can't take it as a gift"
"Well, then, let's see how we can
fix it. You raise chickens, believe"
YES, a few, but they don't bring
ANYTHING, hardly"
Don't they? Neither does my paper
cost anything, hardly. will continue
your paper, and when your go home
you may select from your lot one
chicken and call her mine. Take
good care of her aud bring me the pro-
ceeds, whether in eggs or chickens,
and we will call it square"
"All right, brother Moore" and
the ola fellow chuckled at what he
thought capital bargain. He kept
the contract strictly, and at the end
of the year found that he had paid
about four prices for his paper. He
often tells the joke on himself and
says he never had the face to say he
was too poor 10 take paper since that
day"

Sixteen Reasons.

A writer in one of our exchanges
gives the following plain and forcibl,
reasons for abstinence from the use Of
intoxicating liquors as beverage. 1t
is view sanctioned both by religion
and common sense,
1. Because ale, porter, gin, rum,
brandy, etc, all contain n spirit which
is calculated to derange the human
system.
2. Because none of these drinks, as
an habitual beverage, are ever useful,
but always injurious to persons in
health, and many protesting Christians,
both young and old, have been ruined
by them.
3. Because drunkenness is a beset-
ting sin, and leads to idleness, quar-
relling, swearing, fighting, stealing,
adultery, murder, and almost every
other sin, and finally to eternal mise
ry.
4. Because drinking produces power
ty, bankruptcy, destruction Of pro-
perty, loss Of reason, disease and pre-
mature death.
8. Because a great deal of valuable
time, labor and capital, are worse than
wasted upon making, vending and US
ing these drinks.
0. Bucause over seventy millions of
money, being more than the whole rev.
enue, ARE annually expended upon them
in the United Kingdom, which onght
to be laid out in food and manutac.
lures.
Z. Because nearly six millions of
bushels of good grain are annually
destroyed in this Christian land to
make those liquors, while the markets
are high and many of the poor are
starving.
8. Because intemperance obstructs
the progress Of civilization, education,
the religion Of Jesus, and every use
ful reform.
8. Because abstinence is sure and
safe, but drinking moderately is dan
gerous, and has lead to all the drunk.
enness in the world.
10. Because | find | cannot effect.
ually warn the drunkard, or set him
example, unless | am myself an en-.
tire abstainer.
II. Because / like to join those who
are exerting themselves to promote the
temporal and spirital reformation and
happiness of man.
II. Because it is important to set s
safe example of perfect sobriety to oul
children. friends and associates.
13. Because it is our Christian duty
TO deny ourselves even of lawful things
20 promote the happiness of others.
a. Because, while millions in time
and eternity have repented of drink
ing, not one has ever repented Of alb
staining.
10. Because, while no blessing il
prom, unced upon drinking, Gods ap
proval is frequently recorded in favoI
of abstinence. (See Jer. xxxv; Luke
i, IS; Rom. xiv, 81; Prov. Xxx, ID
Is. Because / should be ashamed t.
touch, taste, handle, or keep in my
house, the article which is filling the
land with dissipation, vice, poverty
misery, lamentation and woe.

"a Large Contract"


A pretty good story is told of him"
self (says the Boston Traveler) by a
season ticket holder on the Boston and
Maine Railroad-a wide-awake, jolly,
generous, ioke-loving gentleman, Dem
ocratic in his politics and liberal in his
religion. Riding in horse car a short
time since, with the Catholic priest of
his village, who has been active in try
ing to induce his flock to become tenn
perate, he Emiliarly addressed him in
language sometning as follows: Faith
or =, you a.e doing pretty good
work Just now-I don't know but you
are doing as much good as all the 9th
er cergymen in town" The priest
quietly replied that he was doing wArt
he could 10 improve his people. "lll
tell you what it is, continued the gen.
tleman, 81 have been thinking about
attending your church, but was afraid
it would cost too much to get all my
sins parndoned." "Oh," said the
priest, 1--WE can manage your case
when we have a very large contract We
make liberal discountl" The laugh
Ter that followed this response only
closed when the cars reached the end
of thir route. And the captain laughs
over the story as he repeats it until this
day.

Gunpowder.

When gunpowder. was first discover
ed to possess n projectile power, its
military application was confined to
kind Of mortar or lombard, intended
as a substitute for the enormous batter
ing machine then usually constructed.
The commencement of the fifteenth
century was the time of their origin
in the field for though the more mod
ern author, Vilani, asserts that they
were used at the battle of Cressy, the
more accurate Froissart is enterely ST.
lent about them. Bilius, noble and
learned Milanese, who lived at the
time, speaks in his history of hand
guns as first used at the seige of Lucca
in 1890. The Florentines had artille-
nv which discharged large stones by
means of gunpowder. "But the Luc-
cheese" SAYS Bilius, "besides darts and
arrows, invented new kind of weap-
on: in their hands they held Il kind Of
club, about cubit and half in
length; t. this were attached iron
tubes, which, being filled with sulpher
and nitre, by the force Of FIRE emitted
iron balls. The blow, if il struck was
certain destruction. neither armour
nor shields were sufficient protection,
for often two or three deer, if fired up
on, would be transpierced by single
hall

A Wild Cat Story of Western Hadg-
Ing.

Several years ago, when the West
was a comparatively new country, an
individual presented himself at the
door of log grocery, in the settlement
of which we write, and asked if there
was judge in the place. Upon being
informed that the store-keeper himself
was a judge, the stranger proceeded
"Well, Judge, you see the facts of
the case is this | was trayelin' along
with q pardner down here a piece, an
he showed me a silver dollar which he
had. Well, l wauted the money, and
he wasn't lookin' ] popped him under
the ear with my pistol. Then | took
his silver and tobacker and cum along
alone; but | got to thinkin' the matter
over, and / don't think did just the
ris hit thi.g by my pardner. My con
shuns has been troublin' me, AMI /
think ought to be hung. Now, Judge,
if it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd
like to have you try me pretty soon
and have me hung. IF you doubt the
facts in the case, there's the dollar |
took from my pardner, and you'll find
his remains down the road piece, un-
der log. I'll feel obliged to you,
Judge, if you will have me hung"
The Judge told the stranger to make
himself comfortable at the hotel until
he could send some men down theroad
to investigate the matter, and if they
found the body he would call jury
and try the stranger, as was desired.
The dead man being found, the Judge
summoned a jury and sent word to
the stranger at the hotel, that if he
would step over to the store they would
give hlm Il trial.
The stranger appeared immediately,
shook hands with the judge and jury,
invited The court TO take drink, and
appeared grateful and satisfied with
the proceedings.
The trial preceded socially, and the
tenderhearted jury brought in ver-
diet of guilty Of manslaughier in the
first degree. A look of anxiety, which
the stranger had worn up to this time,
faded from his face as lie stood up to
receive his sentence. "You have oeen
found guilty." said the judge, "of the
crime of manslaughter, foi which you
are undoubtedly penitent." Here the
stranger again began to get anxious
and uneasy.
"And it, proceeded the judge, "it
meets with your appreciation, we will
try to hang you next Sunday morning,
| af II o'clnck a m In the meantime
try to make youself as comfortable at
the hotel rs possible
The stranger looked little sad and
the Judge asked him if he wasn't sat
isfied? If there was anything he could
do for him?
"Judge, | hate to be particular and
fussy," said the stranger, "but havin'
the ager an fever, the chills come on
at 10 o'clock in the mornin', an if you
could have me swing off before that l
should feed obliged"
"Of COURSE" said the Judge, eve
always respect a party's feelings. No
trouble at all. Come round at 8
o'clock, and may be we'll get through
before church time"
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock the
! stranger came cut Of the hotel and
proceeded to the grocery. There he
met deputation Of citizens, one of
whom threw lariat over the limb of
a tree, and, ss soon as the stranger had
taken chew of tobacco and shaken
hands all round, they hauled him up.

A certain professor was noted for
having certain set illustrations, from
which he could not well deviate with
out running the risk of blunder. In
illustrating the powerful effects of
prussic acid, he was wont to inform
the class that drop placed on dogs
tongue was sufficient 10 kill him. On
one occasion, when lecturing to his
class, he said
"Mr. Smith" addressing young
man whose chance Of passing was very
slender, what can you say of prussic
acid? 1t it powerful or otherwise? ,
"It is rather powerful" said the stu,
dent, obviously,
Rather powerful p said the profes
sor, Indignantly. "Put a drop on your
tongue and it Will kill dog"
The shout of laughter winch follow
ed, and Smiths confusion, revealed to
the professor that his illustration hcd
served double purpose.
