Governor Hendricks is q God-fear-
ing man and church member; what
he knows about the circus feat of rid
ing two horses at the same time is all
hearsay. Governor Hendricks goes to
church, not to the circus. Possibly
he never went to see a highly moral
show-animals, birds and snakes. On
information" then, he decided that
one man could ride two horses at the
same time, but unfortunately the sin
formant" did not deem it necessary to
inform the Governor that both horses
must be going the same way, and that
it is impossible to ride two horses at
the same time if they are travelling in
different directions-as one would say,
one horse coming from town and the
other going to town. It was small
mistake of the teacher of Governor
Hendricks in the science of riding
two horses instead of one, but it led
the Governor into very grave errors.
In no other way can the Governors
attack upon personal liberty" be ex-
planned. He comedies in his speech
the evils resulting from the liquor
traffic, and the necessity for regulating
it. He signed the Baxter bill, and
mildly suggested to the Democratic
convention that he had better be mod
fled, but still insists that the liquor
traffic must be regulated. Which is
exactly what the Germans of the Dem.
Ocratic persuasion don't want.

A Rride ana Her DouoIe.

The woeful predicament in which
a Chinese would be bridegroom
found himself is thus described by
Yokohama correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald. He writes: "A
very curious story comes to us
from China. A bride was on her
way in sedan chair from the house
of her parents to her husbands
abode. Passing through a grave
yard, the bearers of the chair no.
ticed that their burden grew heav-
Ter. This, however, they ascribed
to fatigue. On reaching the bride
groom's house, though, what was
the dismay of the honest folk to
find on opening the chair, two
brides instead of one. Two spick,
span new brides, alike even to a
hair pin! Confusion reigned, and
polygamy was imminent. Better
counsel prevailed, however, and the
about to be mother in law appeared
and instituted a searching investi-
cation. But even maternal eyes and
instinct failed, and the old lady was
obliged to give it up in despair,
being heard to declare, soto voce,
that 'she never knew that girl was
twins before" Just at this moment
a bright thought occurred to the
father. He remembered that his
girl was what the Chinese call a
"trip shorter" at weaving, and he
forthwith suggested that the two
girls be set to spinning, and the
one who came out last he declared
to be "tother." No sooner said
than done. The girls were put in
separate rooms, and the materials
for spinning placed at hand. The
doors were locked. and watch and
ward kept over them by the anxious
parents and all the old ladies of the
neighborhood. When the day was
done the doors were opened and
the work examined. Wonder OIL
wonders! Both girls had done the
same amount; neither had a thread
more nor less than the other. The
poor father pulled his pig tail, and
tramped about in a very indiscrim
mate way, while the mother sal
down diconsolately in corner
and addressed the assembled com
pany as 'hussy.' At last accounts
the matter was still in very mixed
condition. Nobody is able to tel

Built Of Sea Shells.

I've just heard of very wonder
full thing. The houses and churches
and palaces of the big and beautiful
city of Paris are almost all made of
sea shells!
This is how it happened:
Some hundreds of thousands of
years ago, the waters of the ocean
rolled over the spot where Paris
now stands. Under the ocean
waves lived and died millions and
millions and millions of tiny sea
shell animals. By and by, after a
great, great many years, the ocean
waters no longer rolled over this
spot, and the very, very big piles
1 might say, indeed, the mountains
of dead shells were left for the
sun to shine on, the winds to blow
on, and the rains to fall on for
many centuries more, till the shells
had hardened into rocks. Then,
after hundreds and hundreds of
years more, men came and began
to build houses. They dug in the
earth, and found the sea shell stone,
with which they built the beautiful
houses and churches and palaces
for which Paris is so famous. And
yet the poor little sea shells that
lived and died SO long ago, never
get the least bit of credit for all
that they did for the fine city! Per
haps, they don't care. At any rate,
we will remember them, and that
will be something.
While we are talking about this
matter, it may be as well to re.
member that a. great many Of the
rocks in different parts of the world
were made of sea shells and fresh
water shells in just about the same
way that the stone of Paris came
to be ready for the builders

ton to take their religion.:with them,
and to use it so wisely and so well
that it shall sanctify all their sports
and smile upon oil their pleasures,
instead of brooding like a thunder
cloud in the near archer of the sky,
ever muttering and ever threat
ening to discharge it's volleys of
displeasure upon all their brightest
scenes and most agreeable expe
riences. If one carries with him
his Bible, his SABBATH, his conscience,
and his communion with God, and
seeks to use each OF these rs not
abusing it, SO applyieg all to the

velop, as to be able to be continually
glad in the Lord. and to rejoice in
the God of his salvation, he will be
almost sure to be happy; and to
get back home again with the con-
viction that, SO far from having been

scenes commonly related to his re-
ligious life, he has been constantly
growing in grace; and that he is
ready then to turn from the alb
normal and hot weather and travel

back to that which is associated

An Eccentric Moon.

! Thomas Brown was employed q: the Bank
street theatre in this city few years ago as
kind Of utility man, and one night the mana.
ger put him behind the scene at the rear OF
the stage to take care of the moon. Brown
had candle on pole, and it was his duty to
hold the light behind the moon, which was
merely a round, implanted space in the cur
tain, and to pull the curtain slowly to rep,
resent the rising of the moon. Brown seated
himself on piece of baronial castle, and
while waiting tor the order to go to work, he
fell asleep. Presently the tragedian on the
stage said to the heroine swear by yon bright
noon etc. and turned to point to it, but the
orb of night was not there. The stage man
agcr flew around, gave Brown kick, and in
frenzy ordered him to hist that moon,
ouickn' Brown was bewildered and without
waiting for further orders he ran the curtain
up with one Jerk, when the cord broke and
down it came again.
Another string was hurriedly rugged on the
pully and tie moon began to rise properly
but Browns nerves were SO unstrung by
fright that he couldn't hold the candle
steadily behind it, 50 that there were nj
teen or twenty eclipSes during the ascent,
the light meanwhile wandering all over the
curtain to the infinite amusement of the au-
dience However, the luminary got safely up
at last, and the tragedian observed, swear by
yon bright moon,' but before the words were
fairly out, the cordIagain snapped, the curtain
unrolled with velocity and broke loose from
the roller, revealing Brown, the lunar eleva-
tor, roaming around in his shirt sleeves with
u candle on stick. A moment later the
manager was fumbling among his hair, and
that very night Mr. Brown closed his theatr
cal career. The manager remarked to con
fidential friend that man who was capable
of making the same moon rise three times in
one night and of getting any number of
eclipses and other astronomical phenomena
might be valuable for some purposes, but he
was about as fit for theatre as walleyed
mule was for singing hymns. Adeler.

this in connection with considerable cheek and

On ano,hey Occasion he was working for a
misery Farmer who was employing large
nuti,b6r of men to assist him in getting in his
crops. There was considerable grumbling
about the food that was set before them, and
the quantity of meat which the miser consid'
cred sufficient for a laboring man. One day
Job spoke up bold and squarely about the
matter while al the taDle, ana the farmer was
of course much veXed.
4 furnish more meat for my men, said he,
than any other farmer in Hardscrabble and if
you don't believe it Job, you can so and ask
the butcher.
All right, III do it, said Job, and there the
matter dropped.
That evening Job went to the butcher and
told him that Mr.. Miser wanted HIM to 90 up
to the sheep pasture and kiss and dress four Of
the latest sheep and have them down to the
house by breakfast next morning.
The butcher knowing that Job was work
ing for Mr.. Mlsers, thought it was all right
and so appeared at the house next morning
with the freshly killed mutton.
How mad that stingy farmer was. but when
he took Job to task for what he had done, the
man fell back on his deafness, and claimed
that to be the way he understood 1t about his
going to the butcher. The men had hearty
laugh over the affair, and plenty of meat SC
