SHE watchs and waits somewhere
about Knoxville, Tenn. Sunday
week she was at church at the APP
pointed time to be married. He was
late and rushed in almost speechless
with emotion. Deeply affected, he
asked he to pray for him, as he was
In trouble. While she was kneeling,
he walked softly up the isle and out
of the side door and disappeared, and
no tidings from him came. The
local paper says "of course the we'd

brothers are on his trail, and a funeral
Is expected thereabouts shortly.

How to Save Wood and Coal.

In order to make house comfort
able, Its foundation or underpinning
should be made air-tight; this will
keep the frost out of the celler, and
cold dIaughts of air from rushing up
through the floors. Banking up the
houses with branches of evergreen
trees is the best method of protecting
it. The old habit of disfiguring
houses with piles of loan or gravel,
held up against them by boards and
stakes, has disappeared and branches
of spruce, pine, or hemlOck, cut from
trees designed for fuel, or from young
evergreens which spring up among
the pasturage, are now substituted
with much less expenditure Of time in
the putting down and removal of
them. Put closely around the stone
work, and, if needful, lay boards over
them to protect them from the drip
pings of the caves.
In the early spring these branches
can be burned in bonfire in the
garden, and their ashes turned to
some little amount.
The comfort and health of the
family circle depend greatly upon the

important to attend to these matters
in due season. For If crevices and
cracks are left open, and the cold air
is suffered to rush in from outside, 1t
is impossible to warm room with
out great waste of fuel; because
when q room is warm, the air comes
in from out of doors with increased
force, and thus more coal and wood
are required than would be the case
were the house well banked up,
Double windows will also lessen the
bills for fuel most materially, and
their cost can often be paid for In one
year by the decrease I'm the amount
of fuel burned and then they are o.
the greatest comfort to the inmates
of the house, and this item should bt

Comforting Fay0rs.

There Is nothing evinces such taste
and delicacy of sentiment as the
gracious. Many kind feeling has
been rendered nugatory by the man.
ner in which it has developed itself:
and many good deed has lost its
SAVIOR, and become in the eyes of the
recipient even revolving, from the
want of a delicate and generous ex-
preston. This is the reason why OBJ
legations are SO often forgotten, and
ingratitude apparently incurred. A
man cOnferS favor upon you in the
hour of need, he, therefore thinks he
has q right to insult you; and he
wonders why you should be so auda-
ciOus as to resent the. affrOnt. There
is such feminine softness, aided by
kindness and goodness of heart, in
some persons, which possesses an ir-
resistible attraction, and leave one
puzzled whether we should prize the
gentleness of disposition which
prompts, or the natural delicacy of
feeling and character which envel.
Opes the generous deed.
We are all more prone to scan the
motives when fayOrs are conferred
than when they are refused; and the
former often give more pain than the
latter. All this arises from the man.
ner of the giver or refuser. How
necessary it is therefore, in all those
who are DESTROYS of leaving q favor
able impression behind them, to cul-
tivate an acquaintance wit this really
fascinating art of doing good deeds
in proper manner. We NAV almost
lay it down as an axiom, that really
benevolent feeling will invariably
produce benevolent expressions, what
ever may be the harshness of feature
or abruptness of manner of the indi-
vidual. Where things are otherwise
there is a flaw in the moral consti-
tuition; there is an unquestionable
defect somewhere.

A FRENCH nobleman observing his
tenant about to destroy a fine thrifty
pear tree, inquired the cause. He
was told that it was a chance Seeding,
and had borne no fruit in twenty-five
years. He had already cut its roots
preparatory to the first stroke, but was
ordered to let it remain. He did so,
and in the following year it was load
ed with superb fruit OF an entirely
unknown variety, which at once be-
came celebrated. The roOt-pruning
which the gardener had given it
worked like charm. Not many
years afterward the Duchess d. Angou-
leme was through Lyons and its
inhabitants sent to her their hOspi-
talites. Nine fair maidens presented
the duchess with golden salvers, on
which lay heaped this precious fruit,
and begged her to bestow upon 1t her
name; and the pear now recognized
as the browning gloy of all fruits
was thenceforward known as the
Duchess dAngonleme.

The truth of the adage that "there

who assisted in the post mortem examination
of Camp, the deceased, was called as witness
by the government. He testified substantially
as did Drs. Fitch and Frye Monday.
The government then. announced that the
case on their part was closed
Mr.. Bradbury, counsel for the respondent
then called the attention of the Commissioner
to the revised statutes of Maine, chapter 131 -,
section 2, which provides in substance that if
mortal wound or injury is inflicted on the high
SEAS or without this state, whereby death en-
sues in this state, such offence may be tried in
the county where the death ensues.

county of Knox, against the prisoner. Charles
L. Robbins, for the murder of Solomon Camp
upon the high seas, on board the British

Mr.. Bradbury also offered to prove that the
complaint and warrant were now in the hands
OF Samuel e. Shepherd, a deputy sheriff of
Knox county, for the purpose of apprehend-
ing and arresting Charles 7. Robbins the pris-
oner
The counsel for the prisoner stated that the
complaint and warrant were issued by his adj
vice for the double purpose of presenting the
question as to the jurisdiction of the State of
Maine over the-offence, and of having the facts
appear upon the record.
Mr.. Strout, counsel for the government, OBJ
jected to the testimony upon the ground that it
was inadmissable in this hearing and also hat
the proceeding was not the act Of the state au-
thorities, but the act of the prisoner and his
counsel to prevent extradition. He then offer
ed telegram from A. Rice, County Attorney
OF Knox county, in which he says the state au-
