THE st. Louis Democrat prints this
beautiful little story; "There is covered
bridge at Peoria 500 feet above high. water
mark. A drover recently attempted to
drive 1000 sheep across Il. When about
half way over, the bell.wether noticed
an open window, and, recognizing his
destiny, made a strike for glory and the
grave. When he reached the sunlight he
at once appreciated his critical situation,
and, with leg stretched toward each
cardinal point of the compass, he uttered
a plaintive 'Ma.ar and descended to his
fate. The next sheep and the next fol.
lowed, initiating the gesture and the re-
mark of the leader. For hours 1t rained
sheep. The erewhile placid stream was
incarnadine with the life-blood of mori-
bund mutton, and not until the brief tail
OF the last sheep asst disappeared through
the window waved adieu to this wicked
world did the movement cease" The
Peoria ReUietD corrects the above story, as
follows: "This story is very nearly cor.
rect. There we're, however, only $50
sheep in the drove, instead of 1 ,000 The
bellwether did not zee the open window.

that he had 'Just had his bitters, but he

remark suggested a train OF reflection.
How was It, we asked ourselves, that the
word "bitters" had grown to be q syno-
nym for gin, whisky, rum, and other alco-
holic stimulants, to which 1t was applied
unfortunately. Bitters, we reasoned,
suggested the idea of healthful tonic, not
of a poisonous stimulant; something in
vigorating to the sytem, not an alcoholic
irritant, full of fusil oil, producing pres.
ent intoxication, and ultimate insanity,
idiocy, or premature death. Moreover,

Under-ClOthing for Cold Weather.

HAVE written on this subjectsbefore,
but there seems to be need of precept
upon precept. OF late have been learn
ing better ways than knew before.
For children of three years and over
there is nothing better, perhaps, than an
under garment clothing the body from
the neck and wrists to the heels, much
like the ht-drawers children wear.
They may be made with plain, easy,
high-necked waist, with long, straight
sleeves, and with open drawers sewed to
the waist. The drawers should be rather
full at the top, but small enough at the
lower part of the leg to go inside the
stocking, reaching to the heel, or leaving
no gap above the shoe. doctors dis
agree" about the material of this under
garment, some recommendingw woolen and
some cotton. Taking into account the diff
ficulty of washing wooden without shrink
ingit, and the disagreeable sensation many
skins experience in wearing it, probably
the best way in most cases is to have this
under garment made either of cotton
flannel or of thin cotton.cloth, with
similar garment of warm woolen material
over it. Buttons at the waist support
the other under clothing.
There are many sensible ladies in
these United States now wearing under
garments similar to those Just described
Among them the preference is usually
given to thin cotton material for the suit
next the body, with a suit made of woolen
white flannel, gray ladies' cloth, or red
tiremen's flanneD in the same fashion
worn over the cotton suit in winter
weather. With two such wooden suits for
frequent changes, to give opportunity for
thorough airing and summing of the wool
ems, they require very little washing. The
cotton next the body takes up the per-
spiration, etc, and this gets the good
weekly washing. The wooden suit when
taken off weekly for change need only
be exposed for day or two to purity it
properly, washing it only when it visibly
requires it.
If men wear cotton under their woOlen
shirts, the wooden may be treated in the
same way, and men who are not engaged
in dirty work can wear their wooden
shirts all winter with very little washing,
purifying them by air and sunshine each
week when changes are made. Ladies'
cloth shirts shrink less than common

Why the Curve is the Line OrBeauty.

PROF. MULLER in course of lectures in
Berlin, offered a simple and mechanical
explanation of the universal admiration
b ,stowed on circles. The eye is move d
in its socket by six muscles, of which
four are respectively employed to raise,
depress, turn to the right and to the left.
The other two have an action contrary to
each other, and roll the eye on its axis, or
from the outside downward, and inside
upward. When, therefore, an object is
presented for inspection, the first act
is that of circumvision or going round
the boundary lines, so as to bring
consecutively every individual por.
tion of the circumference upon the
most delicate and sensitive portion of
the retina. Now, If figures bounded
by straight lines be presented for in
spection, it is obvious that but two of
those muscles can be called into action,
and it is equally evident that in curves of a
circle or elipse all must alternately be
brought into action, The effect then is,
that If two only be employed as in rec
tilinear figures, those two have an undu.
share of labor; and by repeating this ex-
pertinent frequently, as we do In childe
hood, the notion of tedium is instlled, a
distaste for straight lines is gradually
formed, and we are led to prefer those
curves which supply a more general and
equable share of work to the muscles

Tomorrow, Andrew O. Clark, colored raw
isher Of female chastity, will receive the pen
atty of his crimes at New Castle. After a fair
and impartial trial he was convicted by the most
positive evidence, and although he has all along
protested his innocence and professed to look
for Executive olemency, his life will pay the
forfeit of his libidinous desires between the
hours Of 10 and 8, tomorrow.
The scaffOld is being erected within the Jail
yard, to-day. after the usual fashion, aud all the
minor detail of arrangement will be completed
by nightfall The execution will be strictly pri-
vate, and no one but the officers of the law and
the representatives Of the press will be admitted.
CLARK seems perfectly resigned to the fate
which awaits him. He has abandoned all hope
of pardon, and deyotee much time to an effort
to prepare his soul for eternity. Rev MIR.
