How TO Shoot THIEvEs.-The Morris.
town, Pa, Herald man is in training
for a match with the joker of the Dan
bury Me,us. His latest effort in the
line Of local news is as follows: "a
farmer over at Center Square the other
night heard commotion in his chicken
house, and being timid man he didn't
reconnoiter. But the next day he got
down his old musket and put in a charge
of powder, and in a handful of buck
shot. As he was putting the piece
away, it just occurred to him that there
might be two thieves, SO he put in an
other charge of powder and some more
buckshot Then he thought he might
as we'll put in third load in case of
an emergency, SO he rammed down
some more powder and poured in some
more shot Then he smiled a selfsatis-
fled sort Of smile and suspended the
old muskct on nail to await the com
ing conflict. And it came. That very
night about eleven o'clock, he heard
the fowls complaining about something,
so he grasped his musket, and opening
the window-shutter Of the best room"
down stairs. he pointed the muzzle in
the direction of the chicken-coop He
couldn't see any person, but he thought
he would fire one charge out of his gun
just to stir up the midnight prowler a
little. Then he slut his eyes and blazed
away. The next instant he was damned
through seventy-five dollar mirror in
the opposite end of the room, and he
saw about fourteen million stars and
mcteors, and rockets and things, and his
wife and hired girl up stairs screamed
murder and fire, and the hired man
came bouncing into the room with
seven-shooter, firing at random, putting
a hole through $3.50 family portrait.
and the neighbors quarter of mile
away thought there was an earthquake,
and ran out into the street in garments
only fit for August weather, and things
were lively generally. The old farmer
recovered, and after having the pieces
of glass picked out of his back, and
his dislocated shoulder set, he remarked
that he must have rammed down that
charge a little too hard.

cause. may leave the other and marry
again. Where both desire it, there IS
not the least trouble. If man calls
his wife "mother," it is considered lndeI-
icate to live with her again. Among
one tribe, the "Garos," if the wife be
unfaithful, the husband cannot obtain a
divorce unless he gives her all the prop
erty and the children. A woman, on
the contrary, may leave when she
pleases, and marry another man, ana
convey to him the entire property OF
her former husband. Iii
Romans ln olden times man might
divorce his wife if she were unfalthful,
if she counterfeited his private keys, or
drank wine without his knowledge.
They would divorce their wives when
they pleased. Notwithstanding this,
FIVE hundred and twenty-one years
elapsed without one divorce. After
wards law was passed allowing either
sex to make the application. Divorces

pretexts. Seneca says that some wom-

FATALITIES FROM TIGHTENING. The
human mortality from Tightening is not
generally on a large scale, and might be
much reduced by precautiolI on the part
of the builders; so thinks the Building
News. Arago estimated that the number
of deaths from this cause amounted in
France to about 20 in the year ; sBondin
calculated that from 1885 to 1852 1, 3O8
so perished :; none in November, Deeem-
Der, january, or February, but most
in june and August. The lowest rate.
is assigned to Belgium, and the next to
Sweden, the United States and Eng
land being abOut-on par. As rule,
however, these fatalities do not occur
inside a structure of any kind. The
peril, as experience shows, is less in
crowded town than in a village or in the
open country, and, naturally, the more
elevated structures are the most liable
to be struck. Fuller, indeed, in his
" Church History, - asserts that there
scarcely ever existed great abbey in
England which had not been, at one
time or another, wholly or partially de
stroyed by Tightening, and his citations,
taken in comparison with the records of
our own times, are certainly remark
able. In all cases it is the spire, the
tower and the dome which has been
mutilated. As to ordinary habitations, !
all sorts of theories are in vogue on the |
SuDlecG OF danger and safety. Some /
rely on thick glass in the windows, and
some on register stoves; others reeo-
mend stone roofs instead of slate. andd
others tell tinid people that they should |
live in a hollow. It is contended on
this side that there should be the least
possible admixture of metal in the. com
binatiOn of an inhabited structure and !
on at, that all the bells beneath the |
roof should be kept continually ringing,
just as, in obedience to an old super
stition, cannon are fired at sea. The |
mass ofeyidenee upon this topic points,
however, to the one. conclusion already |
suggested, that good lightning con
ductor is the solitary safeguard; but |
that, unless good, it is worse than none. /

The Battle of Business.

/ Henry Ward Beeeher Iectured on
Thursday evening in Music Hall, Bos-
ton, on the g Battle of Business" He
gave it as the result of his observation
that no other occupation made such de-
mands on the nervous energy of men,
was so beset with Inducements to dis
honesty, as mercantile life. The fault
IS not that men do not want to be hon
est, but that the majority of them do
not know how to be. They think it is
all right to do as others do; or, more
likely, they initiate without thinking at
ali of the moral quality of the act.
Mr.. Beecher was especially severe. on
stock gamble $, saying that they de-
served the halter if any criminals did.
The only consolation in reviewing the
career Of these men was the assurance
that few of them kept their ill-gotten
wealth long. He had lived to see six
or eight kings of Wall street dethroned.
In the strife of business men regard
only the end, and do not scruple much
about the means. If it seems neccessa-
ry to buy legislature to insure the
prosperity of their schemes they buy
one. All the great corporations know
the price of the old members Of a Iegis-
lature, and quickly find out what the
new. ones can behad for. The men who
are bought the easiest over, the cheap
est, are the farmers, not because they
are in fact more venal, but because in
their simplicity shey are compromised
and involved before they know it. The
lawyers and merchants, more accus-
toned to the arts of schemers, are more
wary. They have TO be fished for more
patiently, and arc only secured at
large expense. ...s .-.. ...
Speaking of the power Of the great
corporations of the country, Mr..
Beecher declared that if the New York
Central, Erie and Pennsyl vania Central
companies should conspire to do it,
they could elect the president Of the
United States.
NOVELTIES IN JEwELRY.-Among the
unique Jewels clIronieled are those of
finely cut jet, associated with garnets
OF other bright red stones. These are
said to be very. effective, and popular
ity is prepicted for them. The Persian

CARLYLE'S SENSE OF HUMOR.-'' Far
be it from me to say, says Carlyle, Z" that
solennity is an essential of greatness );
that no great man can have other than
a rigid vinegar aspect of countenance,
never to be. thawed or warmed by bill
lows of mirth. There are things in this
world to be laughed at as weITas to be
admired, and there is no complete mind
that cannot give to such sort its due.
Nevertheless, contempt is a dangerous
element to sport in a deadly one if we
habitualIy live in it. How, indeed, to
take the lowest view of this matter, shall
man accomplish great enterprises, en-
during all toll, resisting temptation,
laying aside every weight, unless he
zealously love what he pursues The
faculty of love, of admiration, is to be
regarded as the sign and the measure of
high souls unwisely directed it leads
many evils, but without it there cannot
be any good. Ridieule,. on the other
hand is indeed a faculty much priced by
its possessors, yet intrinsically. it is a
small faculty, we may say the smallest
of all faculties that other men are at
the pains te-repay with esteem. It is
directly opposed to thought, to knowl-
edge, properly so called It's nourish-
mentand essence is denial, which hovers
only on the surface"
