knocking the top of, and passing down the
chimney entered the parlor, passing through
into tho hall and out the front door, strik-

parlor at the time and was considerably
shocked, but soon recovered from its effects.
The lightning also struck the lightning rod
on the dwelling of Mr. Samuel T. Downes,
tearing it entirely from the house, but
doing no other damage.

Moore, in Chapel district, was struck by
lightning Mrs. Moore at the time was
out in the yard attending to her poultry.
Two of Mr.. Moore's children were playing
in the dining room at the time, and
escaped unhurt. Mr. Moore was sitting at
the end of the kitchen outside mending a
basket, and was shocked in his feet and
legs so badly that he was thrown down and
rendered helpless for some hours. 1t was
near night before he recovered sufficiently
to walk. He says the sensation produced
was very much the same us though his
feet and legs had been in fire. Free
applications of cold water to the parts
affected relieved him.

THE AMERICAN GIRL ABROAD.

To the French matron she is an enigma.
Where her daughter timidly, and with
downcast eyes, answers the man with
furtive speech, her sister from over the
sea confronts him boldly and speaks
with assurance. One bushes when she
is accosted by man, while the man
blushed when accosted by the other;
that is to say, the man is more timid in
America than the women. The French
man regards this nairete as an irresisti-
BILE charm; the American seems to ad-
mire aplomb-The eyes which look boldly
into his, and the tongue which answers
him with ease and glibness. The Gallo
matron affrms that she has the manners
of married woman. She goes to the
theatre where her daughter is, iever
permitted to 60, and reads novels that
are only allowed to the French woman
with O husband; orders her raiment
without comment from her mother,
and receives men visitors alone, and
talks to them by the hour; walks fear
lessly down the Champs Elysees unat-
tended, attired in striking oolors, en-
cages her own cab, and generally man
ages all the affairs relating to herself.
Most remarkable of all, she selects her
own husband. ,''"
The French mother emphatically
condemns this mode of bringing up the
American girl. To her, the freedom
of manner and Independence of char
acter are in bad taste. and apt to lead
to results that may not be named. If
statistical proof be submitted to her
that such an education is not incompat-
ible with morality, she will respond that
it may suit the character of the Ameri-
can, but would never answer for the
French girl. If she be frank, che will
say that she would sooner see her daugh-
ter take the vail than follow the TRIMS
atlantic mode of life. But this would
never be said to an American-the rules
of politeness forbid it; such condolences
are for the ears of her own people. If
asked by an American what she thinks
of their young country-women,: she will
probably answer that they are g charm
ing| hence the English and American
charges of insincerity usually laid upon
her shoulders. She doubtless says to
herself, 4 quoi bon ?" let us live peace
fully together while we can, and make
each other happy. When there is a
necessity for using sharp tongue, IL is
hardly necessary to add, she is not be-
hind her sisters of any other land

MARRIAGE BY TELEGRAPH.

On Thursday, April 18th, minister
in the Keobuk (Iowa) Office of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company mar
ried couple at Bonaparte, Iowa, he
performing the ceremony and they pro-
nouncing the marriage VOW over the
wire. Five o'clock was the hour fixed
for the ceremony, and precisely at that
time dispatch was sent to Keokuk to
the effect that the candidates were at
the telegraph Office in Bonaparte, and
ready to proceed. The following was
then sent:
KEoKuK, Iowa, April 16, 1874.
John Sullivan and Frances Godown,
Bonaparte, Iowa:
Please Join hands and take the
pledge. WILLIAM G. PRATT.
The following is copy of the pledge
which had been left with them:
You mutually and solemnly promise
before God and the witnesses present,
that you each will take the one you hold
by the hand to be your lawful and we'd
ded companion; that forsaking all 9TH
ers, you will cleave to each other in
sickness and in health, and perform al!
the duties of faithful companion until
you are separated by death. If to this
you agree, send me a message to that
effect?
Then came the response:
BoNApAErE, April 16, 1874.
VIM. G. Pratt, Keokuk.
We take the pledge.
JOHN SULLIVAN
FRANCIS GODowN.
The concluding dispatch was then
sent, as follows:
KEoKuK, Iowa, April 16, 1874.
John Sullivan and Frances Godown,
Bonaparte, Iowa:
BY authority I pronounce You hus-
band and wife, and may God bless you.
WM. G. PRATT.
The operators all along the line then
rendered their congratulations to the
happy couple upon their marriage by
the lightning process. We believe this
is the first authenticated marriage cere-
mony performed through the medium
of the telegraph. Managers Dolbean,
of Keokuk and Detwile of Bonaparte
were the officiating telegraphists.

o

lively divine his selection.
Two nights afterwards he reached the
Morris door, full of delightful antici-
patton. He was met by old Mr.. Morris,
who, thrusting a note into his hand
explained, with much unnecessary en-
phasis, and total disregard of the
commonest rules of politeness, that if
he ever ventured to present himself at
that house again he would be kicked
down the front steps, mixed up in
complicated relations with the family
bulldog, and committed to the final
care of the police.
He went home maddened with this
very undesirable mystery, and conf
dent that old Morris had been attacked
with delirium tremens, and was an ex-
ceedingly unsafe acquaintance. Once
in his room, he sat down to read the
crumpled letter that had been forced
him. It was his own letter to Mary.
Below the cipher was written Mary's
translation of it. The poor girl had
tried to translate it by using the inner
columns of the book, and with the fol-
lowing unsatisfactory result:
"You liar when almost hate her and
farewell you deceitful never again and
base infamy."
And still further down on the page
was written in Mary's hand, "I can
make out enough of your letter to see
it is cruel, wicked insult, and I shall
tell papa"
1t flashed across Pennington's rem
nant of mind that perhaps Mary had
made mistake in the columns of the
book. He seized the volume and veri-
fed his suspicion. The innocent note
that he had written was actually trans
formed, by the simple process of read
ing it by the wrong column as key,
into the incoherent, but obviously i'm
polite letter, which had wrought such
unhappy consequences.
Pennington sank into his chair utterly
overwhelmed. He called himself all
the choice names that old Morris had
applied to him, together with a large
selection of other epithets. He spent
an hour in this profitable occupation.
At the end of that time he formeda res
olution which he proceeded to put into
immediate execution.
He rose up, and going to his trunk,
took out his secret society emblems and
solemnly threw them in the CRATE. He
next sat down and wrote twelve sepa-
rate designations for twelve different
lodges. Then he wrote a solemn pledge
never, to the day of his death, to med
die with cipher or any other mystery,
and, finally, writing out a full history
of the cipher letter, sent it, together
with the book which he had used as a
key, his pledge to solemnly abstain
from mysteries, and an humble apology
to old Morris.
OF course his explanation was ac-
cepted, and Mary forgave him. Sew
eral years have passed since that event,
but if you want to make Pennington
Smythe blush with wretchedness, all
that is necessary is to ask him if he
knows of any good, trustworthy cipher.

THE NORTH POLE THE ORIGINAL GAR.
DEN OF EDEN,

DR.. Hardinger thinks that he can
give good reasons for his belief that the
grand old gardener and his wife" had
their first situation, and lost it, in the
region about the North Pole. Several
considerations led him to this eonclu-
sion. In the first place, the North Pole,
hard as it is now to get 10 it, was origin
ally an easy place to get away from in
all directions; from no other could it be-
so easy, and hence the dispersion of
men to all parts of the globe is more
readily accounted for. DR.. Hardinger
finds, what most other modern archm-
ologists have not, abundance of evil
dence of the identical origin of all races
of men in language and religious be-
liefs and rites. The Hebrew Scriptures
say, as Hardinger interprets them, that
Adam and Eve, after leaving the gar
den, went to the southeast and dWelt
there. In Siberia, therefore, we should
expect to find traces of the earliest resi-
dents of an intelligent and cultivated
people. Such evidence there is, in the
traditions of Eastern nations, that their
ancestors came from the north, and also
in ancient remains of implements, bur-
ial places and mines worked and aban-
doned, many years ago, Besides these
considerations which make his theory
plausible, DR.. Hardinger had others,
which he terms theologico- scientific
proofs. Accepting the nebular hypoth-
esis, he admits that our earth was at
one time an incandeseent ball, which
only by gradual and other changes be-
came fit for the abode Of man. The
poles, now the coldest part Of the sur
face, must atfirst become habitablc, and
therefore first inhabited. Moreover.
we are told that when Adam wan driven
out, an angel with faminss sword Vas
set to guard the gate and prevent his
return. The Hebrew word I'VE trust
the doctor for this etymoloey y for flame
or ice is eM-which is evidently allied
to our word ice. The flaming or icy
guarding has ever since barred the way
to mans fsst home. 6erFfaar
