of taking some steps to have refunded
the 10 per cent. which stockholders
have paid on their stock in the con-

will ultimately be built. Their hopes
are based upon the report that Mr..
Huntington, the President Of the Ches

he will now transfer his interest in that

-Our old friend. ESQ. Nimrod

Our old friend, Esq. Nimrod Doc
zenberry, is in trouble of mind. He
says both the Republican and Demo.
cratic party propose to cleanse their
organizations of all dishonest men,
His fears are that when the TWO parties
are thus purified, the discarded rascals
will unite their forces and center theil
strength, upon one ticket, and thus
consolidated they will have a majority
of the voters and carry the elections
for their own candidates. The Squire
has remarkable talent for anticipating
the results of political combinations.

A Dry Joke.

The New Albany Qnd.) wags mus
tered in front of the opera house IN that
city few evenings ago and enjoyed
themselves at the expense OF the unwary
and credulous gentlemen who attended
the exhibition.
When the audience entered the build
inc the weather was threatening, and
there was a general display OF UNI
brellas. In the meantime, however,
the clouds were dispersed, and at the
conclusion of the exercises the weather
was fair. A number of individuals who
were doubtless jealous of the gentlemen
in the audience who were In the COM
pany of ladies', ranged themselves IN
front of the door, and stood on the pave
ment with their umbrellas opened.
As the crowd came surging and
squeezing through the doorway, the
brilliant light within rendered the outer
darkness darker, and, with spread UNI
brellas. deceived everybody into the
belief that rain was falling. Many and
earnest were the appeals of gallant beaux
tn lesser favored gentlemen for the loan
of umbrellas, and ladies' were observed,
in many instances, as they beheld the
damp appearance of things, to stop ana
roof in their hats or bonnets with their
handkerchiefs. in the meantime loudly
deploring the expected wetting; Every
man who had an umbrella in his hand
disengaged his arm from the lady at his
side and triumphantly lifted his water
shed as he reached the lower steps,
congratulating himself on the expected
wax home in the near companionship
A. .,.b;ob tha raip would compel his
lady love. The spreading of each UNI
brella occasioned the spreading OF
hundred mouths, and roars of laughter
greeted the dupes. There was an odd
and never to be forgotten gathering mp
of ladies skirts as the dear creatures
tried to smooth their ruffied plumage,
when they discovered the joke; some
were ar. used and laughed, and others
got mad and thought ~somethIngs nos

A Goat Paradise.

The island of Guadaloupe, lately
purchased of the Mexican Government
by company of California capitalists,
is to be converted into one vast rancho
for the breeding and rearing of Angora
goats. 1t lies off the coast of Lower
California, ninety miles from the harbor
of San Quentin, and two hundred miles
from San Diego, the terminal point OF
the Texas and Pacific Railway, and is
twenty-six miles long by ten miles wide.
This would give an area of l66, 4OO
square acres. OF this, 4,500 acres is n
dense forest. The face of the island IS
said to resemble, in a remarkable man.
ner. the native country of the Angoras.
Good grass and other vegetation cover
it's surface. The air is so fine that when
the dry season sets in the grasses cure
on the ground standing, and the climate
is so mild. genial, and equable that
stock can range throughout all the year
without artificial shelter or prepared
fodder. The rains are sufficient to
keep the grazing always fresh and
abundant, while the living water OF the
springs is plenty, pure, and wholesome.
There is not the drawback there on ac-
count of wild animals which exists on
some portions of the mainland.

What They Suffer From.

Glass blowers are the victims of those
affections eroduced by the sudden vicis,
situdes of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and various inflammations. Their eyes
are very weak, while they are generally
thin and delicate.
Stone-cutters inhale the sharp parti-
cles, which are apt to produce diseases
of the lungs.
Plasterers suffer from the gases dis
engaged and from excessive moisture.
They suffer very much from labored
breathing, have wan, pallid visages and
digest badly.
Filers are short-lived. Whether the
metal be brass or iron, the fine sharp
particles make their way into the lungs,
where they develop disease, sometimes
asthma, sometimes consumption.
Workers in wool or cotton breathe
a close, unchanged atmosphere, while
their lungs are filed with the irritating
dust of the material upon which they
work.
All indoor occupations, with the
present imperfect notions about ventl-
lation. are more or less mischievous.
Outdoor occupations-farming, gar
dening and other similar employments
afford, with an intelligent comprehen-
sion of the food question, the best OPP
portunity for health and long life. Dri-
wing a stage or express wagon, with fire.
quent leaving for the delivery of pack
ages, travelling through the country on
foot as book agent-these and similar
employments are perhaps not inferior
to farming and gardening.

The General OF the JesuitS.

Father Beckx, the General of the
Order of the Jesuits, has, it appears,
been interviewed at Rome by a cor.
respondent of the Vienna Presse. The
correspondent describes him rs short,
rrow-shouldered man of seventy, with
pale and tranquil countenance, whose
life seemed to concentrate itself in his
expressive gray eyes, shaded by long
black lashes, and always bent to the
ground, except when he is addressing
YOU" He was dressed in long, loose
robe, which he held together over his
chest with his left hand. "The Cen
erals head is long and narrow, asd its
badness is concealed by a black skull
cap; his brown hair, interspersed here
and there with thread of silver, is
brushed back from his temples behind
his ears, and n sharp prominent nose
and thin bloodless lips complete this
very characteristic but unattractlve
countenance. The father speaks French
and German with equal purity, though
his native language is French. Il left
Belgium" he said, "where l was born,
in 1919, and resided for some time in
Germany. In 1880 1 went to Vienna,
and 1 lived in Austria till 1850" He
complained bitterly of the persecution
suffered by the brethren of his Order,
"who are now so hunted about from
place to place that, although most of
them can speak French, Italian and
German, they now often find themselves
in countries where they are unable to
make themselves understood. Soon, "
he said, they will have to learn Span
ish, perhaps Magyar.

The TOOthache.

When I was boy, said Beecher in
one of his Friday night lectures, | used
to suffer more with the toothache i'll any
one hour than 1 did in having the tooth
out. and l have no doubt have suffered
more from the toothache than l should
if / had been put to the rack and killed
by the torture. I have no doubt there
are persons here who suffer more every
month than they would by public ex-
ecution. There is something very dread
full to contemplate in hanging, tis true,
but 1 think the small, petty suffering
which people go through with every
week until their brows become CORFU,
gated with care is far greater torture.
Life for the most part Is stale. Take
any active drink, and let it be drawn
awhile. it throws out all its fixed all
and it is not sour-it does not become
actually corrupt for some time, but to
the taste it is flat and stale, and there's
a great deal of life that is simply stale.
How much of your life do you think is
positively radiant How many are able
to 90 on with their duties in secular
affairs in such a way that they are brave
and quiet and trustful and happy? Men
feel every way backward and forward,
like a porcupine that rolls himself up
and has sharp quilts every way. Men
pray that they may have trust in God
in great things, but do they pray
for trust in the things Of everyday
life
