Oddities of Kleptomania.

manse was a little ''nissionary society
of stolen bibles, T" and he was as.imueh

the contraband process as the most en-
thusiastic eign1inissionary could be
in his calling. He was at lastdetected
in Wholesale Understanding. 1t was
further discovered that he had organ
lied WIDE missionary district, and
left bible or testament at every cot
tage where it was needed along the
route. The most touching fact in the
story is that he was arrested while on
his knees by the side of dying old
man, with a stolen bible lying wide
open before him on the bed. "What
made you steal the bibles?" asked the
Sheriff, with pious horror upon his
face. "PrOvidence made me steal
them, good man." was the reply
Heaven was weary of seeing his poor
people perish of gospel-hunger because
the rich Bible Society could not afford
to feed them without the baubees, and
so Providence set me to steal for them,
and save them." He could not be
persuaded that he bad done wrong
The delusion of the clergyman, who il
very poor man, naturally suggested
insanity. But he was perfectly sane
upon all other points; and it is doubtful
whether he would have received the
benefit of his iInalady-whether, in
deed, it would have been admitted as
a malady at aH-if a learned philo-
sophical physician in a neighbOring
town had not positively sworn that he
was the ssvictim of moral mania. ns -ua

arrived here to day. He brings with
him a copy of the Brunot Ute treaty,
signed by the Indians. In company
with six Indian chiefs, Mr.. Cree spent
a week exploring the Brunot purchas-
es. They visited the San Juan Mining
region and report it immensely rich in
gold, silver copper, lead, iron, and
coal. Five hundred valuable leads
have been located, and one mine, the
only one fully tested, is yielding, with
poor machinery, 81, 600 in gold per day.
This mine, the '.Little Giant" sold
without legal title, to Chicago Com
pany for $500, ,000, and, since the treaty
is valued at 81 900, ,OG0, Improved ma
chinery is now en- rOvte for the mines.
A mine with better indications ON the
same lead is being negotiated for at

from $1,000 to 8, 900 per ton. Another
lead undeveloped yields 5000 per ton.

are immense veins of copper
cropping ont of tho surface, none of
which are taken up. Iron and coal lie
in close proximity, the latter being OF
superior quality for smelling purposes.
Fifty town lots were located on the
news being received that the treaty
was signed. The country is immense

is good for sloO, ,OOO, 600 worth Of the

in the open air, riding through rain
and snow, over steep trails, and
through fallen timber, .swamos, and

Chase as a Barber,

Men of talent often fail from turning
their talents in wrong direction.
Chief Justice Chase, for example,
would never have made a successful
barber. He lived for a while in his
youth with his uncle, Bishop Chase,
who prepared him for college. One
morning he told budding Salmon to
kin and dress a pig, The incipient
statesman was not much of q butcher,
and, when he came to the. delicate OPP
Grafton of scalding the pig, horror! the
hair set. But in his extremity he be-
thought himself of his uncle's razor,
and, in due course of time had the
porker shaved from tip of snout to tall
end. The Bishop, on his return, COM
plimented his nephew on the neat
ness with which he had performed his
task. When, however, the old gentle
man came to shave himself, his cher
ished razor was found in a sad plight.
An investigation followed, and young
Salmon received some very serious
advice. ..s..,...... I'D. ,-.'...s-.. -

How to Induce Economy I'm WO,

How to Induce EcOnOnly In WO-
Woman in this country is, in point
OF fact, sort of cherished domestic
pauper. She is only openly and
squarely dealtiwith in money matters
as man deals with man. She is sup
ported, of course. Her wants, when
not too absurd, aresupplied. By some
tender-hearted man, her tears are
staunched with greenbacks, but in all
this she is, and, If at all sensitive,
must feel, miserablpo dependent. She
is prisoner, and more. Out of this
view of the subject one remedy at last
naturally suggests itself. 1t is not, as
some of our rarely wise reforners pro
rose, to thrust indiscriminately every
female fedgling out of the hOme-nest
into wide, bleak world, there to bat.
tie for a. maintenance which all hei
previous training has untitled her. to
acquire, but to grant her in those cases
where means exist {and it is such We
are now considerihg), frankly and
cheerfuily certain annual sum, upon
the two conditions that she keep, q
strict account of its use--to be render.

makes it suffice. Then be firm. Nc
cash account, no cash, and never any
going into debt, at the risk of forfeiture
of the whole. In other words teach
your daughters and wives, if need be
Ito hove definite views of money
matters, and make them responsible.
This course would be an unspeakable
relief to thousands of women whose
perplexities as to their personal and
domestic expenditures, and whose dis
mays at invariably asking for money
just at the time when husbands and
fathers are ''hard up" no man can pos
sihly appreciate. With some certain
basis to reckon from, nine women out
of ten would develop an amount of
thrift and economical love that would
astonishl their much enduring provid-
ers; and the talents which are now
thrown away in inventing expedients
for extracting mpney from the pater-
nal or maternal pocket, once turned to
the judieious expenditure ofthat which
was freely accorded, the reform that
political economists and our own COM
mon sense tell us is So loudly called
for, without more ado, speedily effect
