OLD TINE BoNNETs AGAIN.-A
correspondent of the Chicago
" Journal" writing from Paris,
says: "a startling announcement
from Paris will interest your lady
readers. The new style of head
gear is to be the old-f fashioned bon
net, with brims, crowns, strings,
and perhaps, curtains. 1t appears
that the conclusion has been
reached that the prevalence of neu-
ralgia and kindred diseases, un-
known comparatively a few years
ago, has been due to the fashion of
leaving the head, neck, ears, and
throat without any protection.
The large number of weak eyes is
also attributed to the want of shade
afforded by the fall or curtain. l
am afraid, however, that the argu-
ment will not hold good, for neu-
ralgia is almost as common COM
plant with men as with women,
and we certainly have made no
change in the chimney-pot con-
structions we call hats.

HE sauntered into our Office cart

HE sauntered into our office care
lessly. He gawked around coolly.
He stared impudently, and turned
an enormous quid of tobacco from
one side of his face to the other. He
threw himself into a chair, elevated
his feet on table on which the edl-
torials and local are written, placed
his hat alongside of his boots, pushed
back the tangled mass of hair that
covered a somewhat noble brow, and
made himself completely at home.
We looked at him inquiringly. we
gazed at him patiently. In fact, we
scanned him closely. He didn't
look ferocious-like, like a man who
was on the pistOl-shoot or cowhlde
Law. We feared him not on account
of anything severe We had said OF
him or his friends, so we smiled
upon him complacently, expecting
he'd shell out "greens" for sub
scription to the paper. But he
didn't. He was a printing-house

Died in His wiCe's Defence.

Mingaut Valley, N. Y, Oct. Co.
On Saturday last an itinerant pedler
entered the house of James Tolin,
living near this place, and proceed
ed to display his wares to Mrs.
Tolin, despite her assertions that she
did not wish to buy anything. Mr..
Tolin was confined to his bed and
has been so confined for many years,
being so crippled with rheumatism
that it had been long impossible for
him to leave his bed unless carried
from IL. After showing his goods,
and Mrs. Tolin not buying anything,
the pedler commenced a conversa-
ton; in the course of which he
learned the helpless condition of
Mr.. Tolin. Finally he made an in
sulting proposal to Mrs. t., and she
Indignantly ordered him to leave the
house Instead, he approached her
and seized hold of her saying, with
an oath, that she was in his power,
as her husband was good as dead.
Mrs. Tolin, being a delicate woman,
ran screaming into another room.
The pedler followed her, and before
she could escape by the door, caught
her again. A desperate struggle en-
sued between them, and Mrs. Tolin
was thrown violently on the floor by
the powerful villain. Mr.. Tolin,.had
been all the time witness of the
struggle, lying powerless in his bed.
At the sound of his wife's falling on
the floor, however, and her frantic
shrieks for aid, he seemed to be en-
dowed with superhuman power.
Under the influence of that power
he sprang from the bed he had been
unable to leave for years. Selling
a heavy crutch that stood near the
bed he rushed into the room where
the struggle was going on. Mrs. T.
had succeeded in regaining her feet,
but the pedler had grasped her
around the waist, and was endeavor-
ing again to throw her. AS Mr..
Tolin entered the room the singular
spectacle of bedridden cripple has
tsning to the defense OF his wife
seemed to paralyze the scoundrel,
and he stood staring as if in trance
at the approach of the husband.
Mr.. Tolin nerved by unnatural
strength, brought the crutch down
over the head of the pedler and
felled him like an OK to the floor.
The next instant the excitement and
superhuman effort that had support
ed the husband left him. With
shrek that told of the intense agony
of the relapse he elapsed his hands
to his forehead and dropped to the
floor and almost instantly expired.
Mrs. Tolin succeeded in getting the
body of her husband back in bed,
and then started for assistance. She
was oblige to go over a mile before
she was able to obtain any. When
she returned with several neighbors
the pedler was gone. He had re-
covered consciousness and fled,
leaving his pack in the house. When
the news of the attempted outrage
and the tragic death OF Mr.. Tolin
spread throughout the neighbor-
hood, the most intense excitement
prevailed. Squads of men started in
every direction searching tor the
pedler, but as yet he has not been
found.

Things That Never Die.

The pure, the bright. the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth
The impulse of wordless prayer,
The dream of love and truth:
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry;
The striving after better hopes
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
brother in his need
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves the friend indeed
The plea for mercy softly breathed
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrows of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand,
The pressure of kiss,
The kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That make up loves first bliss;
If with firm, unchanging faith,
And holy trust on high,
Those hands have clasped. those lips hav
These things shall never die. [met
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded as 1t fell.
The chilling want of sympathy,
We feel, but cannot tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart,
Whose hopes were bounding high,
In an unfading record kept,
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Lose not chance TO waken love,
Be firm, and just. and true:
So shall light that cannot fade,
Beam on thee from high
Aud angel voices say to thee,
These things shall never die.

A NEW tonic called boldo has been
discovered. Boldo is a tree found
in Chilli, of height Of five or SIX
feet. isolate on mountainous regions,
with yellow blossom and verdant
foliage. It's bark, leaves, and olos-
som possess a marked aromatic
odor, resembling a mixture OF tur-
pentine and camphor. The leaves
contain largely an essential OIL. IL
contains an alkaloid which is al
ready called "boldine." Its prop
critics are chiefly as a stimulant 10
digestion and having marked &C
ton on the. liver. Its action was
discovered rather accidentaly-thuts:
Some sheep which were liver-dis-
eased were confined in an enclosure
which happened to have been re-
Gently repaired with boldo twlgs;
The animals ate the leaves ana
shoots, and we're observed to recov-
er speedily. Direct observations
prove its aetion-thus; one gram
me of the tincture excltes appetite'
increases the circulation, and pro-
duces symptoms of circulatory e1'
citement, and acts on the urine
which gives out the peculiar odor o.
boldo.
