Fanny Fern says that when she "sees a
pretty man with an apple head and a
raspberry moustacbe with six hairs in it,
paint on his cheeks and a little jot of a
goatee on his chin, with pretty little blink
ing studs on his shirt bosom, and a little
neck>tie that looks as if it were rumpied,
she always feels a desire to nip him with
a pair of s~ugar-tongs, drop him gently into

SILKNcE-"Oh the matchless power
of silence! There are words that con-
centrate in themselves the glory of a life
time but there is a silence that is more
precious than they. Speech ripples over
the surface of life, but silence sinks into
its depths. Airy p~leasantness bubbles up
in airy pleasant words. Weak sorrows
quaver out their shallow being and are
not. When the heart is cleft to its core.
there is no speech nor language"

"At last weeks meeting Of the Wigan
Board of Guardians" says the London
Echo, "a case was brought forward relating
to an extraordinary superstition in Lancss
ter. The assistant overseer of Ashton in
Makerfeld had sent to the Wigan Work
house a woman who gave the name OF
Catherine Collins, and who had been sit
ting all day on 8 door zstep, and was wholly
destitute, She stated that she had come
ont of the Stafford Work-house, on leave, to
have the holy hand applied to her paralyzed
side. Mr.. Clarke, one of the guardians for
Ashton, stated to the board that hun
dreds of persons visited the township
for similar purposes. The holy hand
is kept by the Roman Catholic priest
at Garwood, In Ashton township, and
is preserved with great care IN a
white silk bag. Many wonderful cures are
said to have been wrought by this sanity
relic. which is alleged to be the hand of Fa-
Their Arrowsmith, priest who is said TO
have been put to death for his religion at
Lancaster. When about to suffer he de-
sired his spiritual attendant to cut of his
right hand, which should then have power
to work miraculous cures on those who had
faith to believe in its efficacy. The story
of the unbelievers is that ArTowsmith was
found guilty of foul crime, and that the
tale of his martyrdom and miraculous at
taststion to the truth for which he suffer
ed, was contrived for the purpose of pre-
venting scandal upon his Church. The
hand was formerly Kept at BrVn Hall, nov
demolished, the ancient seat of the GerarC
family, the present representative o
which Sir Robert Gerard, resides at Cars

A FISH STORY FROM FRANCE.

The Journal deS Debdts tells the story o.
a wonderful fish, which, in spite OF the
seriousness with which the facts are stated.
appears almost incredible. A carp has just
died at Chantilly, in France, at the extra
ordinary age Of three hundred and seventy
five years! Only think Of fish in our
dav which was sporting In It's native pond
at the time that the Moors we're being
driven out of Granada by the Spiniards;
which first saw the light some five years
after Columbus first put bis foot upon
American soil; before glass was in use, or
the art of printing invented; twelve years
before Henry VIII assembled the British
throne, and twenty years before Martin Luz
rher's name was ever heard of! Yet this Is
what we are gravely told. This eXtraordl-
nary fish belonged to Mr.. g., a wealthy me7-
chant Of Chantilly, who bought 1t about a
wear ago for 1900 francs. 1t was born on
the estate of the Count de Cossee in 1897,
under the reign of Francis l, and has dur
inc its long lifo belonged to thirty two dif-
feTent masters. It had naturally become
quite sn object ofhistory, went By the name
of Gabrielle, and measured niDety-two CEN
timetres in length-between nineteen aDc
twenty inches Of our measure. There is no
knowing how mach longer this creature
might have lived, as it did not die natur-
al death, but was killed in mortal combat
with an enormous pike. Mr.. G.'s little sou
was present at the fatal battle, but, seeing
in 1t only something to amuse him, ne
neither interfered nor called the domesucs
to separate the ccmbatants.

ST. LOUIS.
The Customhouss Located.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20 There was a large
meeting on change to-day to express prefer
ence between what are known as the Crow
ana Nicholson blocks as the site for the
new Customhouse. After some remarks
by District Attorney Krum, who read a
dispatch from Washington instructing him
if there was a strong preference for the
Nicholson block to purchase it instead of
Crow block, otherwise to obey his original
instructions-a vote was taken by dividing
the crowd. Afer surveying both sides,
Krum decided in favor of the Crow block.
Great indignation was manifested by the
friends of the Nicholson block, who claimed
a large majority, and much pleasure was
expressed by the friends of the other loca-
ton. Since the meeting Mr.. krum has re-
ceived dispatch from Washington order
ing him to close the purchase for the Grow
block,

A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 9th
inst says; "The community here IL very
indignant over a murder last night, in
which an intensive boy was without pro-
vocation stabbed to the heart by rough
nam DekSft. This makes the eighth
murder which has been committed here
within a few months. All of the per-
petrators are yet awaiting their
trials" If these murders had occurred
in almost any Southern city, would they
not have been made the pretext for send
ing troops to that city to protect life and
preserve order? But not word is said Of
tie inability ofthe Radical officials Of Wash

lives OF the citizens. The Ku-Klux in

other way in which life may have been
