The course Of true love continues
to run rough, as in the DAYS Of the
old poet who described its flow. II

hearts. The California papers tell a
touching story of unrequited love.
The subject was a widow in Mendo-

She was the mother of twelve chill.

manhood and womanho Il. But for

lovers she resolved on dea' h, but she

How Dry IL Was.

An honest old farmer from ia
country gavt, his recollecti ms Of the
hot spell as follows:
st was SO dry W. couldn't spa-4
water to put in our whisky. The
grass was 50 dry that every tim. the
wind blew it flew around like SO much
ashes. There wasn't tear shed at
a funeral for month. The sun dried
up all the cattle, and burnt off tn.
hair till they looked like Mexican
dogs, and the sheep all looked like
poodle puppies, they shrank up so.
We had to soak all our hogs to make
them hold swlll, and if any cattle
were killed in the morning they'd be
dried beef at dark. The WOO Is dried
up 50 thi' the farmers chopped sea-
soned timber AL through August,
and there amt match through all
the conn'ry-in fact, no wedding
since the widow Glenn married old
Baker, three months ago. What few
grasshoppers are left are all skin aud
legs, and ! didn', hear tea kettle
sing for six weeks. We eat our 30.
tatoes baked, they being all ready,
and we couldn't spare water to boil
'em. All the red headed girls were
afraid to stir out of the house in day

1t is said that the inhabitants Of
the Nicobar islands, group in the
Indian Ocean, about one hundred and
Fifty miles south Of the better known
Andamans, have universal passion
for the cast-off hats of civilization.
There is regular trade in old hats
between Calcutta and the Nicobars.
The value of the article is measured
in cocoa-nuts, the only produce of
the islands. The Chimney-pot is the
favorite shape, the taller the better:
and the contamination of Nicobar de.
sire is the possession of high white
hat, with black band around it.
Such hat is worth, we are told,
from fifty to sixty-fve cocoa-nuts,
and is the favorite attire of the noble
savage when he goes a-fshing, clad
for the rest only in the usual waist
cloth.

'sBlaZcr" Finds a Paradise.

We have, says the Virginia. New,
Enterprise, in this town, a genius
known as "Blazer," who is ssnever at
peace except when at war; He would
leave his dinner any day il he thought
he could find fight. When he is
unable to find muss he is perfectly
wretched. A week without a battle
and he begins 10 think there is moth
ing in this world worth living for
Although he seldom wins more than
one fight in ten, it is all the SANE to
him. He rather enjoys good pun
melting. \ night or two since some
friends of his who happened to be
passing through the ''Barhary Coast"
region of the town, had their a,tcn-
ton attracted to shebang near at
hand by a tremendous uproar. There
was a smashing Of glass, crashing
of chairs, bottles and tumhlers; fierce
yells, bitter curses, and, in short,
fearful commotion. Thinking one of
the voices within had familiar sound,
the gentleman looked in at the door
of the ''gin-mill." and there beheld
Blazer surrounded by about half
dozen ''Coast rangers, who were Civ
ing it to him straight from the
shoulder" on all sides. Blazers nose
was fattenea; one eye boas ed
watch fob; his upper lip was laid open
by blow from a tumbler, and his
clothes were nearly torn from his
back. A clip under the eye sent him
ITO grass" when those nearest him
began jumping upon him and kicking
him liz the ribs. His friends at once
rushed to his rescue. The breath was
completely knocked and kicked out of
poor Blazer, and he Law stretched
senseless upon the floor Some wat
er dashed in his face revived him.
Recognizing his friends, he smiled as
amiably as was possible with his
bloated and distorted upper lip, and
huskily whispered:
"Boys, it's gorgeous. I've STUN
bled into a regular Paradise"

How to Climb Trees.

Somebody, who probably knows,
says: In South America even the
weakest may be not uncommonly
seen plucking the fruit at the very
tree top. If the bark is so smooth
and slippery that they cannot climb
they use other means. They make a
hoop of wild vines, and putting their
feet inside they use it as support
in climbing. The negro of the west
cost of Africa makes larger hoop
around the trees, and gets inside of
it and jerks it up tn, trunk with his
hands little at time, drawing his
legs up after him. The Tahitian
tie their feet together, four or five
inches apart, with piece of palm
bark, and with the aid of this felter
go up the cocoa palms to gather nuts.
The native women in Australia climb
the gum trees after opossums. Where
the bark is rough they chop holes
wi tn Ratchet; then one throws
about the tree rope twice as
long as will 60 around it, puts her
Ratchet on her cropped head, and
placing her feet against the tree and
grasping the rope with her hands,
she bitches it up by jerks, and pulls
herself up the enormous tree almost
as fast as a man can climb ladder.

The inaugural address of Hon B.
F. Overton, principal chief of the
Chickasaw Nation, to the Legislature
of the territory, delivered on the Sth

last few year. The nation has now
a civilized government, with a writ
ten constitution, after tina American
model, providing for executive, leg
i.lative and judicial departments,
with strictly defined powers and du-
ties. The chief (governor) gives the
legislature sound advice, which will
no doubt be followed as strictly as
similar counsel addressed to white
Legislative DO ties. 1t is certainly a
cheering fact that this trib. of Indi-
ans has voluntarily established such
government, and no doubt It's pro-

Johnson was brought in. Then
the jury filed into their seats con-
venieat apartment is that new jury
room. The foreman Of the jury
passed package into the hands Of
the Clerk, White, who carefully I'M
folded it, and raised = slip of paper
to his eyes. There was the silence
Of death in the crowded room, and
every head was inclined forward,
every eve strained as if eyes could
hear rs we'll as see. The Clerk read:
. We, the jury, .fnd the d.fendant not
guilty."
The stiffness continued for = mo-
ment, then there was murmur of
applause, and then-Johnson sprang
to his feet, grasped the hands of his
attorneys, Messrs. Foster & Green,
and shook them earnestly. Aud
well he might-they had pulled him
safely through . perilous trial. Then
Egglesht, at Johnson's side, arose
and grasped Johnson's hands, and
the two shook, and the prisoner to
be tried for forgery congratulated
the prisoner who had been tried for
murder. They had been together in
the Jail for long months, aud their
now farewell "shake," as they sup
posed it to be, was but natural. But
it was not final goodbye, for the
Judge broke the rustling and hum
that prevailed, with the words-and
silence reigned again--"Gentlemen,
there is another indictment against
the defendant Johnson, for the muir
der Of the child!"
"Yes, your Honor" quickly re-
spoaded Mr. Ellis, "and we propose
to try him on it, too"
Messrs. Foster & Green rushed to
Ellis side, aud there were hurried
but earnest whispers. Ellis shook
his head, as the negro's attorneys
whispered to him, and the latter
went back to Jail with the Sheriff.
A crowd followed him, and thronged
about the Jail entrance as he disap-
peared,expecting him to come out
soon free man. But they had mis-
understood the cause of his going
back, and went away when told that
he was to be held for another trial

Two cases Of compelling liquor
dealers to pay damages have oc-
Cured in New York State under the
Civil Damage Liquor law, the dam.
ages in one case being $50, and in
the other $4,000. The Graphic very
sensibly says: The Law is an excel
lent one in all respects, and should
be enforced under all circumstances.
Not alone are dealers pecuniarily re-
sponsible for the mischief done by
persons intoxicated by liquors pur-
chased of them, but even those who
give the poison under mistaken no
tions of hospitality may be mulcted
if the drink results disastrously in
death or damage. Thus clubs where
lianor was obtained would doubtless
be held responsible for any mischief
occasioned by it, and possibly also
physicians who recommend alcohol
as a curative measure could be served
in precisely the same way. To en-
force the law, with exemplary dam
ages, would 60 farther towards the
