The AOld American AristOcracy.

The most marked feature of colonial
society was its aristocratic character.
Our ancestors brought with them no
tions of rank and precedence which pre-
vailed at home and even ia those colonies
which, like New England, we're estab-
lished on democratic basis, the aristo-
cratic feeling of the superiors was al
most as strong as the feudal South and
New York. Custom gave privileges
which the laws did not recognize, and a
comparatively few families monopolized
official dignities. John Adams, for in
stance, mentions that the Chandler
family "engrossed almost all the public
offices and employments in the town
and county" of Worcester, Mass. 1t is
wellknown how the Hutchinson kin filled
the chief places of public trust in that
province. In New York the Delanceys
and Livingstons were said to be Z" the
two, great families upon whose motions
all their politics turn" The aristo-
cratic spirit of the Virginian magnates
is proverbial to this day. In South
Carolina the gentry, we are told, were
more numerous than In any other colony
in North America.
It was common to see several offices
in the hands of single person, who
perhaps was Colonel of Militia, Judge
of Probate, Justice of Peace, member
of the Legislative body, etc. The
colonial families, however, were com
PEELED to share such distinctions with
the favorites of courtiers. A dignitary
of New York, writing in 1764 of the low
rate of judicial salaries, which were not
enough to tempt an able lawyer to leave
his practice, fears that if they should
be raised "some scurvy fellow would
be crammed upon the colony because
his patron did not know what else to do
with him. -GoZn1u

A Hill of Sulphur.

One of the most remarkable deposits
of native sulphur as yet discovered, is a
great hill composed of the almost pure
article, found some two years ago at q
distance of thirty miles south of the
Union Pacific railway, and nine hun
dred miles west of Omaha. This mar
velous deposit is found to consist al
most wholly of sulphur, containing
only fifteen per cent. of impurities.
The best deposits heretofore available
are those found in Sicily. The princi-
pal supplies for the manufacture of
sulphuric acid come from there the
deposits contain thirty five per cent. of
impurities and sixty-fve per cent. of
sulphur. Our Western sulphur hill,
therefore, is much the more valuable,
and promises to become, ere long, Of
great Importance to the country.

A Telling Speech.

The following is literal report of a
speech delivered in Bowling Green, KY. F.,
by q candidate for the office of iailer !:
"Fellow-citizens: Where are my oppo-
nents? Why, gentlemen, they are no
where. I feel myself as much above
my opponents as 'possum in persim-
mon tree does above the ground he
crawls on. I call on you in the name
of the shaggy-headed lion which whipped
the American eagle; I call on you in
the name of the peacock of liberty which
flowed over the Rocky Mountains-to
come to my rescue. Come on Monday
next, and promote Dick to the Office to
which he perspires. When you shall
have been dead, and the green briars
shall have entwined themselves around
your graves, then will your sons come
to me and say, Dick, some years ago e;'
ship of Warren county, then will I say,
roll on, thou silver moon, I will be with
thee till the last day in the evening"

Every nation has it's own traditions
and myths about the heavenly bodies.
We often talk about the man in the
moon; but in Sweden they talk about
boy and girl there. st. Nicholas
says:
The peasants children see, instead of
man, boy and girlin themoon, bearing
between them pail of water. That is
an old Scandinavian legend, which
means legend known to Sweden and
Norway in ancient times, when their
name was Scandinavia. The legend
says that Mani, the moon, stole these
two children, Hjnki and Bill, while
they were drawing water from well.
They were lifted up to the moon along
with the bucket and well-pole, and
placed where they could be seen from
the earth. When next you look at the
round, full moon, if you have magma
tion enough, you may see Hinki and
Bill with their pail of water.

Lip Ornaments.

The following quotation, from the
second volume of Darwin's descend
ency of Man" is amusing, and at the
same time contains moral for those
who are clear sighted enough to see it
Gin Central Africa, the women per-
forate the lower lip and wear crystal,
which, from the movement of the tongue,
has wriggling motion indescribably
ludicrous during conversation. The
wife of the chief of Latooka told Sir S.
Baker that his wife would be much i'm.
proved If she would extract her four
front teeth from the lower jaw, and wear
the long pointed, polished crystal in her
under lip. Farther south, with the
Makalolo, the upper lip is perforated,
and large metal and bamboo ring, call
ed pelele, is worn in the hole. This
caused the lip, in one case, to project
two inches beyond the tip of the nose
and when the lady smiled, the contrac-
ticn Of the muscles elevated it over the
eyes. :.
"Why do women wear these things =
the venerable chief, Chinsurdi, was
asked.
Evidently surprised at such stupid
question, he replied
"'For beauty They are the only
beautiful things women have. Men
have boards, women have none. What
kind of person would she be without
the pelele? She would not be a woman
at all, with mouth like man. and no
| beard" @
, Is not the moral obvious? There are
certain class of people who dwarf and
deform women, physically, morally and
intellectually. When demonstrated with,
and told that God and nature know best
what womanly attributes and womanly
capabilities really are, they cannot be
convinced, but persist in hedging them
in on every side by arbitrary restraints,
by public opinion, and by prejudice.
Like the negro chief, they reply when
questioned, "Delicacy of health, 9

Lynching al Four HOrse-ThieVes in Col
OradOe

Tip Marion and Joshua Marion,
brothers, and Dick Thompson and
Jerry Wilson, accused OF se-stealing,
were hung by a crowd of masked men
at Middle Kiowa, Elbert county, recent
". Z ! < The trial, which came
off before Justice Farhion, lasted three
days and nights. The prisoners were
examined separately, no counsel being
present either for prosecution or de-
Tense. The trial resulted in the pris-
oners being bound over in the sum ct
81 900 each to appear at the next term
of the District Court Being unable to
obtain bail, however, they were left in
charge of the Sheriff at Middle Kiowa.
Tuesday night about fifty masked
men appeared in front of the building
where the prisoners were confined, and
overpowering the Sheriff and his assist
ants took the four men out to grove
. mile from town, and hung them. The
men were shaekle>1 together in twos,
and hung in twos, WITHOUT removing
the irons from their ankles.
The Sheriff and Coroner brought them
into town yesterday morning at .
O'Clock, and their bodies, covered With
a pine bough, were still lying in q
wagon when our informant left, await
ing burial. From appearances, the
necks of the dead men had not been
broken, but all of them had probably
died from strangulation,
The flies and insects had already
commenced work upon their bodies,
and their faces and tongues were fly
blown. None of the parties were very
bad or vicious-looking men, but were
all able-bodied and well built. The
general opinion of citizens was that the
men were guilty as charged.-Denver

Brutus. and the nephews of Collatinus,

Brutus, and the nephews of Collatinus,
we're among the number.
The conspirators met by stealth, and
bound themselves by solemn oath, to
unite all their energies to overthrow the
republic.
| Their plot was discovered.
| A slave. named Vindicius, suspecting
treason. secreted himself in the house
where their secret meetings were held.
| He listened TO their conversation, and
learned that strong blow was soon to
be aimed against the Government. He
revealed the plot to the authorities.
/ The conspirators were seized and prepa-
ratioas we're made to give them q trial.
| Farlv t1,s next day, the Consuls Brutus
| and Collatinus went to the tribunal,
| and ordered the eulprits to be brought
/ before them.
| The young men we're speeches. and
terror-stricken.
With unbroken frmness Brutus asked
them if they had any defense to offer.
| He received no answer.
The question was repeated. Still no
| words issued from their lips.
Once more Brutus demanded if thew
could deny the charges brought against
them.
Tears were his only reply, and their
dreadful silence revealed their inability
to prove their innocence.
Terrible was the situation of Brutus.
Convinced of the guilt of his sons, Titus
and Tiberius, he was forced to pass SEN
tence of death upon them. W it'll a
firm, undaunted voice, he commanded
the executioner to perform his work.
The unhappy young men entreated for
mercy. The spectators were moved
with compassion, and urged Brutus to
spare them.
He sternly refused Calmly and un-
falteringly he proceeded to execute the
laws, regardless of the ties of blood.
His sons had been false to Rome, and
must suffer the penalty of treason with
the others. The people looked upon
him in admiration and awe.
Collatinus sought to save his nephews,
but was prevented by Brutus.
GA man may have more children, :"
said the invincible judge, "but he can
have but one country; even that which
gave him birth
Without a sigh, and evinclng no pa
ternal emotion, Brutus saw his sons
scourged and their heads struck off.
Justice was appeased. The natural
feelings of the father, which he had
stifed TO serve his country, could no
longer be controlled, and Brutus wept
bitterly.
The slave Vindicius was rewarded
with money and freedom. The infor-
nation he gave, which caused the death
of the noblest youth of Rome, saved the
republic. Little Corporal.

The strength of the Condor.

A miner in Chill, very strong man,
saw condor enjoying his feast on the
mountains. The man attacked and tried
to- kill him. The battle lasted long
time until the man was nearly exhaust
ed. But he left the condor dead, as he
imagined, on the field. He carried of
some of the feathers in triumph to show
them to some of his companions, and
told them that he had never fought SO
fierce a battle. They went to look at
the condor, wher, to their surprise, he
was standing erect, Tapping his wings,
in order to fly away. A bird with
such powers of life exists years and
years. Indeed, the condor is said to
live century, The Indian catches
the condor by stratagem. He employs
him to fight in ring. He does not at
tack the condor openly, for he knows
how strong he is, and he wishes to take
him alive. He procures the skin of
COW, and hides himself in it. Pieces of
| flesh are left hanging to the skin to at
tract the condor. He pounces upon the
prey, and while he is feeding the Indian
contrives to fasten his legs to the skin.
When this is done, he comes out of his
concealment, and the bird sees him for
the first time. He flaps his wings and
tries to fly, but his feet are entangled !;
and, more than this, other Indians come
running up and throw heirmantles over
him.
Horse and His Little Friend.
! On small farm in France was a
young horse, whose temper was so in
tractable that all attempts at tanning
him failed. The farmer would have
parted with him but for his Youngest
child, boy about years old, to whom
the animal showed great liking. He
would come to his young friend and re-
ceive food from his hand. He seemed
pleased to have his shaggy neck patted
by the little fellow One day all the
family were out in the fields excepting
the mother, who, being busy in the
houses, left the child playing in the
yard, when he fell into pond. and
would have been drowned but for the
timely aid of his friend, the horse.
The animal happened to be standing
loose in the stable, and, hearing the
familiar voice, came out at trot. See
ing the child struggling in the water.
he seized him by his garment, and drew
him out at the very moment the mother
came to look after him.S

HarPy'S Chickens.

Sammy Brent lived sway down
South, and was just as full of mischief
as boy of thirteen could be- One
evening he came home after ramble
through the woods and by the river,
and asked his brother Harry, who was
eight years younger than hims elf
" Harry, wouldn't you like to have
some funny chickens ?"
/" I'm just sure would" answered
Harry.
Well, you take these three eggs and
put them in box of sand and set it in
the sun, and after a while you'll have
three of the funniest chickens you ever
saw"
Harry followed his brothers direc-
tons, and morning, noon and night he
might be seen working for his brood to
poke their bills up out of the sand. At
last, one hot day, just before noon, the
sand began to move, and the queerest
kind of a chicken came out It had q,
long, horny bill, long, fiat. body, with
out feathers or wings, four feet and a
tail nearly as long as its body. AS soon
as Harry's excited eyes could see clearly,
he exclaimed:
ooh oh it's an alligator come out
of an egg"
If Harry had been a little older he
would have known that alligators bury
their eggs in the sand and wait for the
sun to hatch them, and as soon as the
young alligators appear the mother con-
ducts them to the water.-Heorh and

THE BEES Mission. Modern science
points out that the fructifying of many
flowers is due to the labors of bees in
mingling the pollen and most gardeners
must have noticed the difficulty of pre-
serving pure strain of any when these
active workmen have access to other
varieties of it. Within the hectares of
many flowers the bee finds the thin,
sweet juice which we know ashoney but
when this is carried home and deposited
in wax cells, it requires to be swallowed
again by the bees, when it undergoes a
thickening process, and becomes honey
proper: Honey gathered almost ex-
clusively from one kind of plant or
flower acquires it's special flavor. Thus
clover.h honey is clear and pleasant both
to the eye and palate, but that made
from sycamore and gooseberry flowers
far exceeds it. Heather honey is much
darker than other kinds.

A French Life-Saving Invention

Paris, the mother of novelties. has
just sent out a new life saving invention
which, it is said, will render drowning
inexcusable. It consists of double
shirt-like garment, that reaches from
the knees to the throat, and is fastened
in front by a double row of buttons.
Inside of this a rubber tube is coiled a
sufficient number of times to contain air
enough, when inflated, to support the
body when in the water. The tube ter
inmates at the neck with mouth. piece,
which is closed by metallic button.
It is expected that when person goes
near the water he will wear this gar
ment and then, if by i'll luck he tum-
bles in, all he will have to do will be to
blow up his jacket and calmly float
around until help comes.

HER PRICE BEYOND RUBIEs. The
cultivated, well-informed women may
generally be known, not so much by
what she tells you, as by what she does
not tell you; for she is the last to take
pleasure in mere gossip, or to make
vulgar illusions to the appearance,
dress, or personal habits of her friends
and neighbors. Her thoughts are not
in these things. They mount higher,
and live in purer air.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.

Baby and ricket.
''Queek Queek!'
Cricket in the kitchen door,
Sees the baby on the floor;
Chubby boy, round-eyed and fair;
Funny fellow, rings for hair.
Crickets glad to see the baby;
He's an old acquaintance maybe.
So he smiles and bows quite low, sssA98
(You and I can't see it though).
Then he clears his voice to speak,
But zoe only hear him him squeak,
"Queek! Queekl"
1900 Goo!"
Baby on the kitchen floor,
Spies the cricket in the door;
Merry fellow, plump and black,
Crooked legs and shining back.
Baby likes mis- cheerful song;
On all feurs he crawls along
To where the cricket sits alone,
And remarks in cordial tone:
g Why, dear fellow How are you?"
But lCe only hear him COO,
1900! Coop
5000! Goo!"
Baby's talk is so absurd
We don't understand word;
But the cricket knows he's saying:
% How's your health Where are you staying?
Mrs. Cricket isn't out?
Full of cares at homL, no doubt,
Give her my respects, and say,
shall call on her some day,
And the little Crickets too !"
And all this is in that co.,
1900! Goo"
"Queek! Queek!"
Thus the cricket makes reply
Looking baby in the eye:
Thank you kindly, sir, I'm sure,
Wires health is rather poor,
And the children are care;
But they're beauties, declare
And their voices all are fine; air.
Quite as good think as mine,
Bless the darlings!' Is this Greek?
For we only hear the squeak,
''Queek Queek!"

A Curious VII -

To the remarkable papers e;n,o S;,,o
GUS Wills, published some \ oo1 1,sO
by an illustrated cotemporary, ~
London paper, might be added 10 y
advantage supplementary accoun> =
more curious funeral directions wh1>
those documents frequently contain.
An interesting case in point is that of
the late highly-esteemed Surgeon Major
Wyatt, G. B., of the Coldstream
Guards, who did such good service to
suffering humanity in Paris after the
siege in 1871. He desired in his will,
lately proved, to be buried in the full
dress uniform of the regiment, in which
he had passed the greater part of his
useful and honorable life. A Bible
presented to him by his wife was to be
placed in his coin and these behests
being recorded, the Surgeon Major
went on to direct that the horses used
at his funeral might not be decorated"
-~plumed and draped, we presume-in
any manner that the mutes and other
attendants should not wear hat-bands
or scarfs; that each person attending
his funeral was to wear IN token of
mourning only black band of medium
width-crape for relatives and cloth for
friends that the gloves should be
black but that each person In the train
should wear camellia or other white
flower in his button-hole, as it was the
worthy Surgeon-Generals wish that the
ceremony should be as free as posi-
BILE from all gloomy associations, and to
be considered more as an occasion for
rejoicing than for mourning" Con-
sonant with this leading idea was the
expressed wish that no kind of widows
cap or weeds should be worn by his
relict, and no particle of Grape on the
garments of his relations.
The Last Word.
The last word is the most dangerous
of internal machines. Husband and
wife should no more fight to get it than
they would struggle for the possession
of a lighted bombshell Married peo-
pie should study each others weak
points, as skaters look out for the weak
parts of the ice, in order to keep off
them. Ladies who marry for love should
remember that the union of angels with
women has been forbidde- since the
flood. The wife is the sun of the social
system. Unless she attracts, there is
nothing to keep heavy bodies, like hus-
bands, from flying into space. The
wife, who should properly discharge her
duties, must never have a soul above
trifes. Don't trust too much to good
temper when you get into an argument.
Sugar is the substance most universally
difused through all natural products.
Let married people take hint from this
production of nature.
