Two MoRr GoNr.-Within the past

Two MORE GoNE,--Within the past
two weeks our county has lost two most excellent
citizens. We nlludc TO the demise Of William
Kirk, Of Brady, and william Mcbride, Of Cur
wensvile, with both Of whom we have been init
mately acquainted for nearly thirty years. The
former was prosperous farmer, highly esteemed
by his ncighbors, who had raised u large family,
and was Giving ut home" as the phrare goes, but
taking a severe cold, which settled on his lungs,
the destroyer in short time claimed him for his
own.
The latter was a resident Of Curwcnsville, well
known to the business communities in the south
en and western portion Of theoounty. The fol-
lowing we clip from the Tines. M n
The deceased was born in Ncwbury, Lyeoming
county, md removed to this county in ls43, and
hired as q clerk with John Irwin, Esq Shortly
after he and Mr.. Irwin entered into partnership
at New Washington, where he remained till the
death Of his partner in 1913, after which he re-
turned to this place, and engaged in mcrchandis-
ing. In 1852 he married Miss Layina Ross,
daughter of Robert Ross, Esq, who died in Sop
tembcr 1871, In the forty fourth year Of her age.
BY his extensive business relations he made
many acquaintances, in each Of whom, by his truly
upright character, he gained friend. In morals,
as well MS in business, he ever maintained strict
integrity and pure devotion to truth and duty.
lie was careful in judgment, slow in decision, and
then firm in conviction, and IL he ever orred it
was not in desire, but in judgment; so when death
drew near no troubled conscience disturbed his
peace--no dogmas of theology troubled his mind
but, believing in tho atoncmcnt Of Christ, he
passed away like a summer breeze into the realms
of eternal hannincss

During the late visit of Red Cloud and
his party to New York, they went to
the Olympic Theater to witness the
funny pantomime of Humpty Dumpty.
The HcraH says:
They stalked into the theater cool as
cucumber, and took orchestra chairs
without saying word. Red Dog had a
big ten cent fan that some lady ad.
mirer had given him in dollar store,
and he felt so happy that he took off
his broadcloth coat-he had left his
claw hammer at the hotel-and sat the
performance out in his shirt sleeves.
They were delighted with the panto-
mime; children and savage> prefer the
pantomimc. The Wild Indian is a stolid
being naturally; he does not believe in
manifesting astonishment or surprise at
anything, but the ballet was too much
for their gravity. Before Blue Horse
was half an hour in the theater he had
fallen desperately in love with a shapely
girl who performed as Il coryphee in the
ballet. This yeung lady saw the atfec-
ton beaming visbly out of the eyes of
Blue Horse, and it touched her heart so
deeply that she jumped three times as
high in every movement as her salary
permitted. Red Dog enjoyed the
tricks very much, such as jumping
through clock, or when a mechanical
ann hanging over a door smashed the
stupid Pantaoon on the head, the Sioux
looked at each other with frantic de-
light. But Little Wound, who is a
magnificent scalper, could not for the
life Of him understand Fox as the
clown. He had never before seen man
without any hair on his head, and his
chalked face and smooth, chalked scalp
puzzled his giant intellect. Here was
mean advantage taken of the infantile
Sioux mind. A man without hair
Such a thing had never been known,
even by the oldest medicine man of the
tribe. 1t was not fair-a man without
hair-there was no objective point for n
scalping knife, and when Fox opened
his mouth in his ghastly way shudder
of superstitious horror ran through the
manly frame of Blue Horse, and a chill
crcpt down his back

The Journalism Of the Future.

The New York Standard concluues a
fine editorial article on the character of
James Gordon Bennett with the follow
ing generalization
1t is, then, with great curiosity tha,
we try to peer along the orbit of the
new journalism that is just beginning
to be run. We look for what new things
are coming with great fear and great
deal of pleasant hope. The near future
is soon to be ours, and we shall stand or
fall in our own places. We may study
Bennett, Raymond, Greeley, Bryant,
Godwin-even of Webb, of Gales, of
Ritchie; but we must live through our
own. We must know that great jour
nalism is no longer, to be successful, in
Washington. Duff Greens and F. P.
Blairs are merely historical. Did it
ever strike our newspaper men here
that there are giants of journalism fol-
lowing the tide of Western emigration
Where will you find, in all the great
world, a stronger, heartier, Bismarckian
sort of man than Murat Halstead a
man SO near the highest modern intel
lect as Horace White; greater paper,
as a newspaper, than the st. Louis
Democrat; a more magnificent Journalist
than Henry Watterson? Journalism is
describing wider circles.
In our own New York there are
mines never yet prospected. He who
first discovers them will be the strongest
man of our coming time"

A Printer and his Wife Attempt Suicide.

Julius Ende. an unemployed printer
and his wife were found on the 9th in
the third story of the Hotel Lutz, in
Washington, lying on u bed apparently
lifcless. On one side of the bed was a
coal hod about half full of blood. and
on the other side wash basin contain
ing blood. The blood from the man
had been flowing into the hod, and that
from the woman into the basin. Ende
and wife had cuts in the left arm, near
the elbow. and the former also had n
cut in the right ankle. Physicians were
summoned, and after several hours
labor restored the wounded people to
consciousness, when they stated that
because of adverse circumstances they
were brought to deep poverty, and be-
coming tired of life attempted to kill
themselves. They had taken laudanum
before using the knife, but it had not
the desired effect. Among the papers
found in the room was Ende's commits
sion as Lieutenant of the Fifty eighth
New York volunteers, signed by Gov.
Seymour, October, 1868. Gov. Cook
gave q permit to have Ende and wife
taken to Providence Hospital for treat

4 Curious Argument.

One of the old Fathers presents Gu
rious argument in favor of the doctrine
of the Trinity, running thus:
"The whole universe is modelled upon
and manitestly proves the Divine Trim
ity. Every great thing is triune. of
intelligent beings there are three Or
ders, God, spirits, and man. There are
three abodes, heaven, earth, and hell.
The heavenly bodies are of three
classes, sun, moon, and stars. There
are three elements, earth, water, and
air. Man is trune in almost every re-
spect. He is composed of body, soul,
and spirit. His body consists of head,
trunk, and limbs. Each limb has three
members, upper arm, lower arm, and
hand; thigh, leg, and foot; and each
limb has threejoints. In his face are three
features of sense, eyes, nose and mouth;
and three other features, forehead,
cheek, and chin. His body consists of
three parts, bones flesh, and skin; the
very covering of his body is three
fold, hair, skin, and nails. Every tree
and herb is three-fold, roots, trunks,
and branches is made of three parts,
bark, wood, and sap; and produces
three manner Of things. leaves, flowers,
and fruit. Living creatures are of
three kinds, beasts, birds, and fishes
they move in three ways, walking,
swimming, flying; and are of three Or
ders of subsistence, carnivorous, herbiv
orous, omnivorous. We can not even
think in an orderly manner without ac.
knowledging the Trinity, for every fit
discourse consists of three PARTS, the
exordium, the argument, the perora-
ton. There are three classes of savors,
sweet sour, and bitter. Actions are of
three classes, good, bad, and Indifferent.
And so on throughout all the universe.
God hath indeed everywhere so written
the proofs of the Divine Trinity that he
must be fool or knave who denies it,
Let him be anathema n,aranatha!"
While we do not advance this as Il
valid argument, it is certainly curious.
We do not belive that a similar array
Of coincidence could be brought in re-
spect to any other number than three.

Grace Greenwood has been to Santa
Cruz and seen the process Of collecting
quick silver, of which there are rich de.
posts there. The processes of reducing
the ore, or r0using the latent mercury
from its sleep of million or so of years,
is very interesting and easy by compre-
hension, even to a woman, when pa
tiently and pleasantly explained, as it
was to her. 1t is simply burned out of
house and home, or It's dull old body
perishcs 10y cremation, that it may ap-
pear in a glortied form, to shine and
serve in a thousand beautiful ways. The
ore is put into furnaces, each holding
fifteen thousand pounds, and having
in one end the fire, which is keptu for
three days. Thevapors from the heated
ores pass from the furnace through
small apcrtu-es, like pigeon-holes, into
condensed chambers, on the cool walls
of which the globules of mercury form
and glide at once to the floor, where
they collect in little cutters and flow
out into troughs which convey them to
an iron caldron, from which they are
transferred to the wroughtiron TASKS
IL which they are sent to market. Each
flask cotains seventy.six and half
pounds, and is worth $40. Young and
curious tourists have been known to at
tempt to carry away a thimbleful in
their pockets, and have confessed to
having at once singular tickling sen
sat'on, usually passing like streak of
cold lightning down the right leg and
into the boot.

FibS to Children.

Fibs " to children are outrages on
the innocent. When DR.. Chalmers
was staying at a great house where there
was much company, a lady was desirous
of hearing his conversation through the
evening, but her child was sleepy. The
mother accompanied the little one to
the chamber and soon returned to the
drawing room, where she boasted of her
quick success by the stratagem of put
ting on her gown and night-cap and
seeming to go to bed with the child, and
the ruSc had the desired effect. The
good and great doctor had the courage
to rebuke her for letting the last thing
which the child heard from her mother
be lie
A gentleman made it u rule to have
his children hear nothing but truth, if
practicable. A visitor endeavored to
coax Il reluctant child to come to him,
promising her trinket which hung to
his watch chain. The child yielded.
When the visitor rose to go, the father
reminded him of his promise. Oh, he
had no such intention 1t was just a
playful tib! "You should not have
promised, but having promised you are
bound to do as you said. never per-
nit lies to be told to my children. For
the whole value OF your piece of .jewelry
| would not have my child suppose that
| could encourage the visits of liar"
He gave the trinket. 1t was a severe
lesson. | say nothing as to the propri-
ETY. of the fathers course, but the visi-
tor should not have "tibbed" to the

Personality of Satan.

That Satan is a real person is clea: ly
proved by what is known of his history.
He is represented in Scripture as being
once perfect, and having fallen from
that perfection by a rejection of the
truth, as being deprived Of his dignity
and of much of his power, and as being
cast down to hell. These are all con-
ditions of personal being, and are ex
pressions not applicable to an idea.
Further, when we read of him in connec.
ton with the history of our race, he
always appears as a real person. In the
shape of a serpent he converses with
our first parents in Eden, and is cursed
and condemned as being capable of
suffering. He appears personally in the
matter of Jobs trial, and "he stood
against Israel, and tempted David to
number Israel" He entices Ahab to 90
up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead,
and he resists Josh ua, the high priest,
in Zachariah's vision. The notices OF
his operations in the book Of Daniel are
all indicative of personal being. and his
temptations of our Lord are of the same
kind. SO are the numerous references
TO him throughout New Testament his
tory. In the final scene, yet future, he
sustains the same character. Ee ap.
pears as the leader of host, and is
finally vanquished and cast into lake
of fire. Invisible, he is yet real, and
ever on the alert. "Your adversary
the devil, as roaring lion, walketh
about seeking whom he may devour. y

A Fight Under Water.

A curious case Of assault and battery
was lately brought before the polio,
tribunal at Marscilles. 1t appears that
diver, engaged in investigating the
wreck of vessel sunk in the port OF
that city, discovered an object of some
value, which he put aside in a corner
of rock for future disposition. Re-
turning for the last time beneath the
surface, he went to secure his prize, but
at that moment two other divers at
tackled him and attempted to wrest it
from him. A lively fight ensued, which
lasted till the people above, alarmed at
the confusion below, drew the combat
ants up to the surface. The aitray thus
commenced, fifty or sixty feet below
the surface of the water, was ended at
the police station.

A Wonderful Clock.

Droz, a mechanic ofGeneva, produced
clock which excelled all others in in.
genuity. On it were seated negro, q
shepherd and dog. When the clock
struck, the shepherd played six tunes
on his flute, and the dog approached
and fawned upon him. This wonderful
machine was exhibited to the King of
Spain, who was greatly delighted with
it, "The gentleness Of my dog" said
Droz, is his least merit. lfyour Ma
jesty touch one of the apples which you
see in the shepherds basket, you will
admire the animals fidelity" The King
took an apple, and the dog flew at his
hand, barking so loud that the King
dog, which was in the room, began to
bark also. AT this the courtiers, not
doubling that it was ar affair of witch
craft, hastily LETT the room, crossing
themselves as they departed. Having
desired the Minister of Marine (the
only one who ventured to remain) to
ask the negro what o'clock it was, the
Minister did so, but obtained no reply.
Droz then observed that the negro had
not yet learned Spanish, upon which
the question was repeated in French,
when the black Immediately answered
him. t.this prodigy the tirmncss of
the Minister also forsook him, and he
rctrcatcd precipitately, declaring that
it must be the work of a supernatural
being.
