A LITTLE, crumpled package arrived at
the Mayors office this morning, which
has touch of history. 1t was sent by
Mr.. John A. Hughes, q merchant at
Springfield, ILL.,, who has been active in
collecting money for the distressed peo-
pie. 1t was tightly rolled up in two or
three sheets ofnot very white letter paper,
and contained FIVE dollars and five cents,
nearly all in one two, and three.cent
pieces and nickels; also two faded pieces
of paper currency, of the old five and ten
cent issue. Evidently this was some
childs treasure, the accumulations
of little box for mouths or years. On
the inner wrapping was written, Little
Lilly's money, to go TO poor child" on
the outer paper, written in a different
hand, "From Little Lilly, for the Mem
phis sufferers dying bequeSt." No other
explanation was given.-Hemphfs Ledger.
To MAKE WHISKY PIcKLEs.-We often
get hold of whisky that will eat up Gu
cumbers speedily. Better leave such
liquor for the human stomachs which
crave IL, and buy alcohol pure. 1t is just
as cheap, for it can be reduced with water
according to its strength. Use gallon
of alcohol to five or six of soft water.
Pick your cucumbers, wash them care
fully, so as not to bruise them, and put
them in as fast as they are collected. Stir
them up from the bottom every day, and
stir in the scum that rises as they work.
This process soon makes good pickles and
sharp vinegar. The sun or fire hastens
the process. The pickles are nicer if
small.
A NASHVILLE man recently had occa-
sion to go to Memphis over the North
western road. There were but few passen-
gers aboard, and during the night the con-
ductor came and sat down by him. "Goin'
to Memphis, are you, stranger ~ he asked
"Yes, siI," said the Nashville man.
"Mighty rough read, amt it?" queried the
conductor, with yawn. every" was the
reply. "Last time went over the road
this car we're in was upset and man was
killed all to smash," said the communica-
tive ticket-puncher, with another yawn.
Then he added: "I've got the most reck-
less engineer on the road with me to-
night, too, but | hope we won't have any
accident" 81 certainly hope we will not"
responded the passenger, with a slight
feeling of uneasiness. "Well, don't
know as it would make much difference
to YOU" said the conductor, cheerfully; /;
""you'll die anyway if you're goin' to
Memphis"
MARIA L. PERRY, of South Arlington,
Mass, aged about 40, and Lucy l.. Slater,
who now calls herself Joseph Israel Lob
dell, aged about so, both insane, are ex-
ceedingly strange and eccentric persons
The latter dresses in male attire, and is
evidently laboring under the delusion
that she is man. She claims to be the
husband of Miss Perry, and for the last
four years the two have been together al
most constantly. Miss Perry, who is a
native of South Abingdon, has been insane
from youth. She disappeared, four or
five years ago, and when next heard from
she was in an insane asylum in Pennsyl-
vania. Here she made the acquaintance
of Mrs. Slater, who was an inmate of the
same institution. After their release or
escape from the asylum, they started off
together and have been travelling ever
since. Two of their winters were passed
in hut among the mountain regions of
Pennsylvania
