" Wife - or " Lady -

When the Indiana editors went to
New York they had the honesty and
good taste to register their names with
the addition, where proper, "and
wife" For this very proper procedure
New York paper, which probably
didn't know any better, made fun of the
visiting Hoosiers, alleging that the mar
ried editors should have signed land
lady"-a very equivocal designation.
We are glad to notice that one Indianian
hits back from the shoulder and just
between the eyes. The Union City
Times says: "The disparity in the
use of terms arises from the dissimilarity
in the social habits of New York and
indianapolis. In Indianapolis we call
our wives wives, because they are our
wives i'll truth and in fact, bone of our
bone and flesh of our flesh, the mothers
of all our young Hoosiers, and as such
we eat with them, and sleep with them,
and travel with them, to the exclusion
of all other ladies, especially when
the registry assigns but one room for
both. "-Chicdgo Times.

Piscatorial Exploit OF a Solemn Peoria
Youth.

A Peoria paper records the follow
ing Two or three weeks ago a very
ouiet and very solemn boy, about ten
wears old, took seat on the wharf at
the foot of Griswold street and began to
fish. There are, mayhap, fish at the
foot of Griswold street, but probably
man or boy might fish there ten thou
sand years and never get bite, be-
cause those fish, if any there be that
frequent that locality, have had their
eve teeth cut and know their business.
Steamers and boats are passing, men
shouting and drays rolling, and the fish
have a good deal to think of. But this
boy didn't look into the case. He may
have heard theories and speculations,
but he kept them to himself and went
on fishing. Men asked him if he had
got a bite, and boys told him to be
careful and not exhaust the supply, but
for four or five hours per day he sat
there and fshed, unmindful OF what
was said or done. He pulled up the
line once in a while, surveyed the bit OF
meat on the hook, saw that it was there,
and then the hook went down again to
wait for sturgeon. At last the boys
perseverance and patience excited gen
eral notice, and the men said it was too
bad that he didn't get any fish. Satur-
day afternoon three or four individuals
planned to call him away from his line
for moment, and while he was gone
one of them fastened big dried her
ring to the hook. The boy returned
and resumed his fishing, and finally he
hauled up and saw the herring. He
was too astonished to speak for time,
but he finally unlocked the fish, laid it
aside, put piece of scrap-iron on it to
keep it from escaping, and pretty soon
he was as solemn as ever. One OF the
men felt piqued at the boys want of
enthusiasm, and stepping forward, he
said: "Well, bub, had any luck ?"
Zone herring" replied the boy in sol
emn tones. "And what do you expect
to catch now 2" continued the man.
The lad waited long time before an
swering, and then mournfully glancing
at the herring he replied Crackers
and cheese to go with him - He is still
fishing.

A New YORK correspondent gives the
following questionable information con-
corning the Herald of that city :" 1t is
for sale, though its price is higher than
can be raised by any company at pres
ent. Probably million might pur-
chase it, but this sum is beyond the
reach of any of our ambitious editors.
Benefits heart is in other matters than
journalism. The paper is maintained in
frst-class style in order to. command
high price, but it must sooner or later
be sold. Bennett has more irons in
the fire than almost any other man, and
some of them must burn. He has
yachting, the property at Fort Wash
ington, the Herald, and the Bennett
building, beside other mvtters which, as
the phrase goes, are too numerous to
mention.

Shipping Elephants.


A Calcutta newspaper says The hoist
ing into the air and lowering elephants into
the hold of a ship is not only an unusual
sight to most men, but also a strange expe-
rience to most elephants. They were
lashed with strong ropes slung as far as
practicable in slings, hoisted with cranes
with three foot tackle, and lowered into
the steamers hold like bale of cotton.
When in the hold, they were placed in
pens built of strong, teak timber baulks,
bolted to the ships side to prevent them
from breaking loose. The fear the animals
suffered was the only injury they under
went, and by watching the eyes of the poor
beasts their terror was very manifest
Tears trinkled down their mild counten-
ances and they roared with dread, more
especially when being lowered into the
hold, the bottom of which was sanded for
them to stand upon. We are told that one
female elephant actually tainted, and was
brought to with fan and many gallons of
water. At sea it appears that they got
into curious habit of occasionally-evi-
dcntly with a preconcerted signal-settiug
to work rocking the ship from side to side,
by giving themselves simultaneously, a
swinging motion as they stood athwart ship,
the vessel rolling heavily, as if in seaway.
This they would do for spell of an hour
or more, and then desist for several hours
until the strange freak took them again.
When they reached port they were hoisted
out of the hold and swan on shore, thirty
five being thus safely landed, without any
accident whatever. When they were re-
leased from the sings it was supreme
moment for the mahout, who was always
on the elephants neck from the time of its
touching the water to letting CO.
AS the word was given to let 60, each of
the elephants, either from his great
joy at his escape from his floating pris-
on, Or from his own weight, we are not
sure which-lightness of heart, like light
ness of head, causes elephants and men to
play pranks-plunged down deep into the
water, the mahout on his neck. Tho anx-
iety on the face of the mahout just one
second before the plunge was study SO,
too, was it when elephant and man rose to
the surface again, the former blowing
water from his trunk and the latter from
his nose.

A Jersey Sensation.

On last Christmas day Seth w. Black
eney, aged twenty-nine years, son of DIR.
w. E. Blackehey, of Caldwell, N. j., fell
from a chair, and was picked up dead, as
supposed. The family commenced prepa-
rations for the funeral, and had laid out the
supposed corpse. Twenty-four hours after
wards, however, this corpse resurrected
himself, and, to the joy of his family,
shook his fist in deaths face. He had
been pronounced dead, the cause being at
tributed TO paralysis He went about his
business, but on Thursday week ago he
dropped off again and was once more laid
out for burial. After few days the body
was removed to vault in the cemetery at
Bloomfield, N. ]. The wife of deceased, be-
ieving that her husband might, after all, be
merely in trance, caused the body to be
watched closely by the sexton, man NAM
ed Arthur O'Hara, who visited the vault
twice every day. Last week the body be-
gan to manifest signs of returning life, the
face, ears, &C., assuming a roseate, lifelike
hue, and it was believed that the man
would surely come second time to life.-
On Saturday last, however, the discolora-
tion of death set in once more, and increas-
until yesterday, when all hope was given
up of there being any life in the body
Not until Monday strange to say, did the
friends Of the coffined man visit the Gem
etery. Then the father, mother, sister and
wife appeared and fully satisfied them
selves that Seth was indeed dead. The
wife has still lingering hope, and ordered
the coffin to be unscrewed, SO that should
Seth awake he might arise himself. The
Blackeney family have asingular history in
this resurrection respect. A few years ago
brother of deceased dropped of, as sup
posed, dead. In two weeks he arose from the
dead, and lived four years, and begot sew
eral children, when he really died. A sis
ter also having been in a trance six days,
came to and lived two years. About a
year ago the Blackeneys removed to CaId-
well, from Six Mile Run, near TrentoD.-
They are very respectable people. The
widow of Seth belongs to Westchester CO.,
and has two children.-Jersey Paper.

DreadIuI DestItutIOn In New York.

The real condition of the poor classes, as
revealed in the cases of destitution which
come to light daily, is exciting the deepest
sympathy among all charitable persons, and
every effort is being made to alleviate their
sufferings. The number of families in
affirent circumstances before, but who
have been reduced to poverty since the
panic, is very large. The suffering, how
ever, is greatest among the laboring classes
and cases have been discovered where
whole families have been starving for weeks
on one meal per day others where no food
had bOen tasted in three or four days and
just discovered in time to save life by ad-
ministering relief The various charities
of the city are making large disbursements
for Che relief OF the distressed.
