1t were no bad comparison to liken mere
rich men to camels or mules for they often
pursue their devious way over hills and
mountains, laden with Indian purple, with
gems, aromas, and generous wines upon
their backs, attended, too, by long line of
servants as safeguard on their way.
Soon, however, they come to their evening
halting place, and forthwith their precious
burdens are taken from their backs; aud
they, now wearied and stripped of their
lading and their retinue of slaves, show
nothing but livid marks of stripes. So also
ment, when the evening of life comes
rushing on them, have nought to show but
marks and wounds of sin Impressed upon
them by the evil use of riches,

A Jealous Lover.

Rev. J. ]. Thompson, formerly pastor of
the Christie Methodist Episcopal church
assaulted last week, by Mr.. Baum, who
struck him with hatchet, inhicting three
gashes ON his head, one blow penetrating
the cavity Of the brain. It is thought that
Thompson cannot survive his injuries.
He had called at the house of former
member Of his church, and on leaving took
the liberty of kissing young lady of the
family, who had also been member of his
flock. This so enraged Baum, who is the
young woman's lover, that he attacted
Thompson, with the result above stated.
The moral of this story is, that preachers
should be cnreful who they kiss.

RUFFALO LAND.

We are in receipt of this new and most
agreeable volume of over 500 pages, from
Messrs. Hubbard Bros, Subscription Book
Publishers, 1893 SAMSON Street, Philadelphia.
The author is Hon. w. e. Webb, of Topeka,
Kansas, long and widely known from his con-
nection with the interests of emigration, and a
strikingly original and popular humorist.
1t describes the wealth and wonders, the
mysteries and marvels of the boundless West
that wild region so much talked about, yet
80 little understood, whose growth and devel-
opment seem like tale of Eastern magic. 1t
is superbly illustrated, containing no less than
fifty-three original and striking engravings,
from actual photographs and designs by Prof.
Henry Worrall, and executed (the enterpris-
ing publishers assure us) at total cost of
over 81, 900. ..,...,t .f..-t ...t . .u
In q short review like this, 1t Is of course,
impossible to convey perfect idea of this sd-
mirable work. To any enc who has the least
touch of "the Western fever" it must prove
really invaluable and for all classes of read
ers, without exception, it is the liveiest and
most laugh-provoking book we have seen for
many day. 1t abounds with valuable infor-
nation, the reliability of which is vouched for
by Governor Harvey, of Kansas, and others

many of its chapters rival Mark Twain's hap
piest style. rt

Guilty with the Goss boy. The former went
into his fathers Office and took loaded
revolver from a drawer, and went out.
Finding the boy Goss he got him to go to
the brush west of the village, and while in
the limits shot Goss, the ball taking effect
in the abdomen.
McAuIy returned to the village, remark

A Remarkable Case.


During recent thunder shower in New
ark, N. ]. singular accident happened on
the premises of F. McC Cormick, in the rear
of his grocery, 15O Washington street.
1t literally "knocked the bottom out of
his well," so far as the watery element is
concerned. The facts are these: About
o'clock, or just before the heaviest peals of
thunder, colored woman employed next
door visited Mr.. McCormick's well for a
pail of water which she obtained. After
having taken it to the house, she returned
for second pail. In the interval two ter
rifle claps of thunder, following each other
in immediate succe ssion, occurred.
When she reached the we'll second time
it was perfectly dry, and one of the buckets

tary plan, when one is up the other is
DOWN was so deeply imbedded in the earth
as to be perfectly immovable, being cover
ed by several feet of earth. In relating
the affair to Mr.. Mccormick, her manner
was imbue6 with terror. ...r...
"Why," she said, "them two thunder
bolts both came down together and went
straight down that well and bored a hole
through the ground and left the water all
out. / could smell the birthstone coming
UP like a cloud" Her idea was natural
based upon the accepted theory of cleo
tricity. A slight examination however,
was sufficient to convince any person that
the disturbing element had not come from
above, but that there had been an actual
upheayal of the earth, suffi icient to divert
the flow Of water. tf.rr.
Not stone was displaced, and there was
no indication whatever of any shock ex-
cept at the bottom of the well, which is
very deep, built long ago in the old-fashion-
ed substantial style, and which has never
been known to cease its supply in the dry
est seasons, when its capacity was tested
by the neighbors for blocks adjacent. Ger
tainly here is an occasion for scientific in
vestigation

Two Mean Tricks.

A short time since Horace Greeley, re-
ceived a letter promising him the support
of the Newville Star in the coming cam
paign if the editor of that paper could be
assured that if elected, Greeley would ap-
point J. b. Morrow, Esq, postmaster at
Newville, Cumberland county,
1t now appears Ehat the letter was a
forgery as the editor says he knew nothing
of it until he saw the letter published in
the Tribune with Mr.. Greeley's comments
thereon. A fellow who would be guilty
Of signing another PERSONS name to such
g letter, deserves the penitentiary, but we
doubt after all whether Mr.. Greeley, in
giving publicity to such a letter did not do
nearly as mean a trick as the man who
wrote it. If he had desined to publish the
letter with his comments thereon, it would
have answered just as good purpose to
have left khe name of the paper and the
signature of the writer blank.

A POSTAL bill containing some new fea-
lures was enacted by the last Congress.
One of its peculiarities is the authorization
of one cent postal cards, for correspondence,
similar to those introduced in Great Brit
ian in 1870. The House provided in the
bill for cards with a paper flap to cover and
conceal the writing; the Senate changed
this to an open card. In conference COM
mittee the style Of card was left to the di-
rection of the Postmaster General, who is
understood to prefer the open card. The
face of the card will bear one-cent stamp,
and will be provided with lines for the ad-
dress, and the back will be ruled for the
letter. The postage on circulars, news
papers, and other transient printed matter,
which under the old Law was two cents for
every four ounces or less, is now one cent
for every two ounces or less. Small cir
culars, which formerly cost two cents To
mail, can now be sent for one cent. The
introduction of the card into England was
attended with great success. Business
men voted it vast convenience, as we'll al
