AModeI Sunday School Man.

The Erie Observer is responsible
for this: SIN the early days of
Pithole, the pious oil men thought
1t necessary to have Sunday school.
One of the leading men was chosen
for Superintendent. The position
was new to him, but he determined
not to shrink from the responsibility.
Thinking it would be proper for him
to make little opening speech, he
cleared his throat and started as fol-
lows: "Children, you are very for
tunate in being born in Christian
land. There are thousands in the
world who are not SO fortunate. 1t
is peculiarly gratifying to know that
you live in that part of the earth
where the rocks pour forth rivers of
oil. Now my dear children, there's
the Morrnons, they worship old
Norm there's the Heathens, they
worship old Heath /; there's the Hin.
doo's, they worship old Hind and
there's the Pagans they worship old
Peg while here we are worshiping
whom we please. Teachers will now
near their classes recite."

HOW MEMPHIS LOOKS.
memphis Correspondence of the New Yo
Herald

Memphis correspondence of the New York
Herald.l
Some parts of the city are nearly
absolutely abandoned. You can
walk square after square, day and
night, without finding soul to talk
to-without finding an open door, or
seeing light or any other signs of
lite. Death and fright have carried
or driven the people all away. An
owner OF property in what is called
the "infected district" directed his
agent, as a matter of charity, not to
call on his tenants for pay on the
usual day, and some time after, when
going through the neighborhood, it
was found that all his houses were
empty. Those who had not been
taken by the plague had been driven
off by terror. Business is ata per-
feet standstill, when, had it not been
for the epidemic, Memphis would
now be in the flush of trade and
commercial activity. A large pro-
portion of the private residences are
closed, giving those a funeral ap.
pearance which even had no such
sad occasion of mourning within
their walls. Most of them however.
are associated in the minds of the
citizens with scenes of disease and
death. Very few ladies are met on
the streets, save those wearing the
badge of some charitable society or
of the weeds of mourning. The
street cars are never crowded, gen
orally having but one or two passen-
gers, and are scarcely more numer-
GUS than hearses. Theatres, of
course, are all closed, and SO, too, are
more than two.thirds of the bar
rooms.

Iowa Altitude.
From the Davenport Democrs

From the Davenport Democrat.l
The average height OF the State of
Iowa above the sea level is between
500 and 900 feet. The height of the
southeast corner at low water mark
on the Mississippi river is 444 feet !;
of the northeast corner, lew-water
mark, 660 feet northwest corner,
low water on Big Sioux, l,344 feet /;
southwest corner, low-water mark on
the Missouri river, 954 feet. Height
of highest point of land on northern
boundary-the ''great watershed" in
Dickinson county near Spirit Lake
about 1914 feet the point on south l.
ern boundary in Ringgold county,
about l, ,220 feet. The slope per mile
from the great watershed along the
northern State boundary line to the
northeast corner of the State is Fl, g
feet FIVE inches per mile /; from the
same point to the northwest corner,
five feet per mile; from the highest
land on the southern boundary line
to the southeast corner, five feet sew
en- inches per mile F; from same point
southwest corner, four feet one inch
per mile form the northwestern to
the southwestern corner in a straight
line, two feet per mile from the
highest point near Spirit Lake to the
lowest point near Keokuk, four feet
per mile. The average surface of the
State is as level as floors usually
are the diversities which give its
surface a rolling appearance, are as
mere wrinkles. These interesting
facts, known to but the few, yet well
worth knowing and remembering,
we gather from the new and invalua-
BILE school book, entitled Physical
Geography of the State of Iowa.

"You will fight me then p

"You would not take advantage OF

growing little pale.

"But it is degrading-brutal."
"My dear sir, just consider. You

good swinging blow it would go
hard with me. In the same way, il
poor young B. had got over your
guard, it would have gone hard with
you. But then shall only blacken
both your eyes, and perhaps deprive
you of tooth of two, unhappily in

And the wiry little Anglo Frank
was as good as his word. In less
time than it takes to write it, the big
braggart was rendered unpresentable
for many long day. That number
one caused him to see fifty suns
beaming in the armament with his
right eye /; and that number two pro.
duce similar phenomenon with the
left !; and that number three obliged
him to swallow a front tooth, and to
observe the ceiling more attentively
than he had hitherto done. And
when two or three other "thats," had
completely cowed him, and he threw
open the window and called for help
the strawberry eater took him by
the nape of the neck and--well
some other and lower part, anG
flung him out of the window on the

That strawberry eater remained
at Bordeaux month to fulfil hil
promise of giving the count his re
venge. But then, again the bully
met more than his match. Th,
strawberry- eater had had Angelo fol
a master as well as Owen Swift, and
after few passes, the count, wht
was too eager to kill his man, felt al
unpleasant sensation in his righ
shoulder. 1t was his last duel. Some
one produced a sketch of him as ht
appeared being thrown out of The
hotel window, aud ridicule-so awfu

fought, and is the only man to whom
the above facts are known who new

back. And drinking ice water very often
superinduces diarrheh But more differ

viii any other disease, for one thing will
always cure it. Precipitation, induced
and established, Is the instant and utter
end Of cholera; that moment the action
Of the body is determined to the surface
that moment ii Is diverted from the
bowels. Then every one will know at
once how to go to work to cure the pa
tient each in the way Of his or her own
suggestion but let the patient lie on his
back: Drinking simple 10: water has
never been known to fail yet but the
same result would follow with hot herb
drinks, or with tea. Hot ginger tea
would be just the thing. Rubbing man
all over with the hands, a fiesh-brush or

land never iaails to produce the same ef-
feet by applying ice to the spine. Any Of
these ways or great many others which

cholera. One day cholera will be moth
