One Of the Eastern papers speaking
of the necks which are so Ia vishly ex-
hibited by the toilets of the day, says
scraggy necks are the fashion, and where
ladies have no hollows, and c reases and
bones, they employ artists TO p aint them,
and that person would be astonished
were he or she to have view, next
morning, Of the necks whit h had ap-
peared so old and yellow ar ID withered
the night before, to see how plump and
white they were. Another te lis a story
of gentleman who had Lady on his
arm who wore very handsome wide
bracelets, and who was remarkable for
the beauty Of her arms The lady s
bracelet became unclasped, and while
she was herself fastening it-which she
insisted on doing-he observed peeu-
liar movement in her flesh, from the
wrist to the elbow. The movement con-
tinued all the while the lady was work

she removed her hand He concluded,
from what he saw, that there were such
things as arms, parts of which we're laid

The BIG Trees Of ca!ifornia.

The big trees of California, whose
August heads seem to pierce the
heavens and excite the admiration
Of all tourists, have prodigious an
tiquity. They belong to the time
when ''there were giants in those
days" as the Scriptures say. These
monsters were brought up for dis
cussion during the late session of
the American Association for the ad-
Vancement of science, and Professor
Gray maintained that they were the
lineal successors of a prehistoric race
of trees which once crowded the
hills and valleys of the world. His
argument is summed up as fol-
lows: At the beginning of the ter
tiary period the northern temperate
zone was region Of perpetual sum-
mer. Gradually, glaciers rolled
down from the north, driving all
vegetation far to the south. Then
warmer climate came again, and
freed the greater part CT the North
ern hemisphere from its fetters of
ice. AS these melted away vegeta-
tion extended northward, but not to
its former limits. These facts furn-
ish clew to the history of the "big
trees" Iftheir ancestors were mum.
bered by hundreds of thousands,
their fossil remains must exist in
the strata formed by the great ice
food that swept over the northern
half Of the globe. Research has
found the fossil sequota gigantea
throughout the miocene formations
of Northern Europe, and in those of
Iceland, Spitzbergen, Greenland,
Alaska and the Rocky Mountains.
All these fossil specimens are almost
the same as the "big trees" Of to-
day. This crucial test shows that
before man spraDg from the dust of
the Garden of Eden, according to
Genesis, or was evolved from the
ape of Northern Africa, according to
Darwin, the SeQuOja gtgantea belted
Northern America, Asia and Eu-
rope, and the islands of the Northern
seas.

little girl, placed her in a carriage.
and, driving to the nearest station,
came to New York. On the road to
the railway, pursuit was made, and
revolvers displayed on both sides,
but the generals friends backed
down. The little girl showed great
delight on being restored to her
mother. The eldest daughter of
the general by his first marriage re-

stewed or Fried.

Dick g., was incorrigible. He
was hummer, and no disciple could
make him anything else. At a time
when the soldiers considered it
wrong to steal a chicken, Dick con-
fseated them with a flourish. He
would do this with impunity, al
though he was frequently punished
for leaving the ranks. On one Occa-
sion he entered yard, ostensibly to
get some water. While at the well
he hissed the farmers dog on the
chickens. As the agitated MISTRESS
OF. the house came to the door, Dick,
in pursuit of dog and chicken, was
close upon a fine fowl. 1t futtered
toward the door, and the woman
caught it. Dick reached out his
hands and taking it from her, said
coolly and with a bow, ''Thank you,
thank YOU" AS the colonel thun-
dered out, "Take that chicken back,
sir" Dick said, "She gave it to me,
sir-said was welcome to take it
ask her if she didn't" and the poor,
bewildered woman could not say no.
The next day Dick was notified
that if he fell out of ranks he would
be punished at night sure. He kept
up well until noon. Then giving one
of the boys his gun, he slipped out
for moment, but he did not come
back, and the captain was furious.
About three o'clock a carriage, driv
en- by stylish negro, passed the
regiment at race course speed.
Dick reclined gracefully on the back
seat, and as he passed, lifted his nat
and made most elaborate bow to
the captain and company.
When the regiment went into
quarters for the night, they found
Dick with fire made, and chicken,
potatoes, ETC., cooking. The cap
tain sent for him and ordered him
tied hand and foot. Dick came
hmping up, dressed chicken in hand.
"I'm sorry, Captain, doggone if 1
amt. l couldn't catch up, and so
rather than disobey your orders, 1
hired darkey to bring me on, and
here am in good time. l thought
you'd be hungry, and l made fire.

after all my cautions and threats
you dropped out"
"But lordy, Cap, 1 was into camp |
atore you was" responded Dick. |
Will you have the chicken stewed |
or fried, CapF' and Dick showed the
Captain what beauty it was.
The officer glared at him a mo-
nent and then snapped out, "Fried,
,urse itp' And Dick served the
'hicken in triumph, and escaped all
punishment, as he always did.

A Young Physician Falls Heir to
100000.

S1oo,ooo
The old saw "'tis better to be born
lucky than rich" finds a remarkable
illustrations in the case of a young
physician of this State, who, unless
report bellies him, has stumbled ac-
cidentally into the possession of such
a fortune as but rarely falls to one
man in a generation. His name is
I. L. Matchett, and he resides some
where in the central part of Illinois.
The story of his good luck is, to say
the least, a marvellous one. Our in
formation is derived from a gentle
man who is travelling through this
section in the interest of a business
house, and who was in the city yes
terday. He is friend of the fortu-
nate physician, who, it appears, is not
yet aware Of his unexpected eleva-
tiOn to wealth. We give the tale as
it fell from the travellers lips:
In the month of September, 1866,
Mr.. Matchett, then resident Of
Springfield, Illinois, was passing
through Chicago, and while waiting
for the train at the Burlington and
Quincy depot he saw a lady with a
child in her arms, also waiting for
the train. The lady was apparently
a stranger in the land, and seemed
to have no escort. While still in
the depot the child, little
girl, was seized with a sudden and
violent sickness, and the mother was
seriously alarmed. Mr.. Matchett
gallantly rushed to her assistance.
took care of the child, and happen
ing to be well informed in regard to |
lnfantile complaints, he succeeded in
restoring it to health before the train
started. His timely act of assist
ance coupled with tender and friend
y manner in which it was rendered
completely won the lady's heart and
'he was profuse in her expressions
u gratitude. But at this moment
ne train came, and the young man

A WORD TN REGARD
TO THE
Sewing Machine Business:

THE SEWING MACHINE is one of the
greatest Improvements of the age, and at this
day and age of the world every family must
and will have one. This fact appears to be
perfectly understood by all Sewing Machine
Companies, consequently every company is
making every effort in their power TO put
their machines forward, and to maze sales as
rapidly as possible. They employ every per-
son they can get, and three-fourths of those
employed are not fit for the business, eonse-
quently the country is now overrun with men
and boys representing themselves as Sewing
Machine Agents, and everyone elaimingto have
the best machine, when, in fact, they know
nothing about machines, consequently the
business has become nuisance-it is over
done and overrun with unprincipled agents,
and almost every farmer breads to see one
stop at his gate.
But to lay all prejudice aside, the New VIII
son is the only First-class Machine in America
that is sold at a reasonable price; price with
in the reach of every family. The New VIII
SON stands to-day at the head as being the best,
the simplest, the easiest to manage, the most
durable, and by far the cheapest. The Wilson
now costs $500 mora to manufacture than any
other machine in America, and is sold for
$500 less than any other frst-class machine.
This simply because it is not in the "Com-
bination." This machine is sold for Just what
it worth, while all others are sold from
$500 TO $1,000 more than they are worth.
The undersigned has been selling the VIII
son for one year at his Grocery and Crockery |
Store in Fremont, and has sold Five Hundred |
Machines, and nearly all have been sold in |
Sandusky County, and I have never yet had |
an agent out soliciting sales or boring the peo-
pie to buy. Every machine has been ordered.
This, I think, is the largest sale that has ever
been made in the county. This fact of itself |
is certainly sufficient evidence that the ma
chine is a good one. All other companies have
drummed and bored the people nearly to
death to sell their machines, and in very MANY |
instances people have bought simply to get nd
of the agent Now, we claim that the proper
way, and the only way, to buy machine, is to
20 town and see and try all the machines and
select for yourself-buy machine in the same
way that you buy dress, or a set of dishes,
or dollars worth Of sugar. There are now
some six OF eight different kinds of Sewing |
Machines represented in this city, try them /
all, select for yourself, and do not be hum
bueged by agents, and nine out of every ten
viii buy the Wilson p CLOSE.
