Two years ago the James brothers,
the same two desperadoes who sack
ed the express car, and "went
through" the passengers on the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, and at
Gad's HILL, stole the money box at
the Kansas State Fair. They rode
into Kansas, on horseback, and when
the cashier was walking to the bank
with the receipts of the day-about
$4,000, they pointed their pistols at
his head, seized the box and gallop-
ed of. This was done in broad day.
light, in the midst of a great crowd.
Well some time afterwards one OF
the Kansas City reporters wrote an
aticle about these highwaymen,s 8
saying some kind things. He c4lled
them brave, and said they had done
the most daring deed in the high
wayman's record. A few nights af.
terward's the James brothers rode
into Kansas City, went to the news
paper office, and called the reporter
ont, and presented him a handsome
watch and chain. They said the ar
ticle in question touched them in a
tender spot and they desired to show
gratitude.
"But don't feel at liberty to take
the WATCH" said the reporter.
"But do it to crafty US. We
didn't steal this watch we bought
it and paid for it with our own mon.
ey," continued the desperadoes.
"No, you must excuse me-" con
tinued the reporter.
"Well then, if you can't take this
watch preplied the James brothers
regretfully, perhaps yo~ can name

An Editor Who is Deaf.

IRWIN Inv OohIa Slaio Ndis IhSuo
We thought everybody in the
State knew that we are deaf, bu.
once in a while we find one who is
not aware of the fact. A female
book-peddler came 60 the Office the
other day. She wished to dispose
of book. She was alone in the
world, and had no one to whom she
might turn for sympathy or assis-
tance hence we should buy her
book. She was unmarried, and had
no manly heart into which she could
pour her sufferings, therefore we
ought to invest in her book. She
had reeeived d liberal education, and
could talk French like a native we
could not, in consequence, pay her
less than two dollars for her book.
We had listened attentively, and
here broke in with "What did
you say? We're deaf" She start
ed in a loud voice and went through
her rigmarole. When she had fin
ished, we went and got roll of pa.
per, and made it into q speaking
trumpet, placed it to our ear and
told her to proceed. She nearly
broke blood vessel in her effort to
make herself heard. She commen-
ced: 81 am alone in the world"
"It doesn't make the slightest differ
ence to us. We are husband and
father. Bigamy is not allowed in
this State. We are not eligible to
proposals" .tOh, what q fool the
man is" she said in low tone then
at the top other voices 81 don't want
to marry you, I want to sell.a.
book" This last sentence was
howled. "We don't want cook,"
we replied blsndlys "our wife does
the cooking, and she wouldn't allow
as good looking woman as you to
stay in the house FIVE minutes" She
looked at us in despair. Gathering
her robes about her, and giving US a
glance of contempt, she exclaimed
81 do believe that if a three-hun-
dred FOUNDER were let off alongside
that deaf FOOLS head, he think some
one was knocking at the door," You
should have heard her slam the
door when she went out. We heard
that.

Courtesy.

Nowhere is well. courtesy, or
the lack of it, more observable than
in travelling. On the steamboat and
in the cars, the quiet observer readily
detects those who have been educat-
ed under refined influences, or those,
who, without special cultivation, are
possessed Of native politeness. It is
not education alone, nor high social
position, nor costly trappings, that
make one pleasant travelling COM
panion. There must exist kind
ness of feeling toward strangers,
general recognition of equal rights in
the comforts and oonvenienoes pro-
vided for the public, and quickened
discernment for the needs Of others.
The gentleman who spreads out his
luggage on q couple of seats in the
cars, and persistently reads his news
paper, determinately unconscious
that others whe have paid as much
as he has are looking in vain tor
seat, is as truly ill-bred as the coun-
try girl who noiselessly eats her pint
of peanuts, scattering the shells on
seats and floor, regardless Of the an
noyance she gives her neighbors.-
In this democratic country we travel
in public conveyances too much as
though they were our own private
carriages. How often the eleventh
and twelfth passengers in the city
omnibus, who know that they have
full claim to seat, are disconnected
by the outspread garments, the i'm.
movable attitudes and black faces OF
those who happen to have entered
the stage before them. Common
civility demands that a movement
be made to give room until the COM
plement is filled out; afterward,
courtesy and generosity will often
prompt to attentions which Justice
may not require. 1t is surprising
how much the comfort and pleasure
of any journey, whether long or short
is enhanced by those little nameless
courtesies which are offered instinc-
lively and unofiicialy to strangers,
by refined, wsll-bred travellers, and
persons in whom native tact and
delicacy almost make up for the lack
of the educsting and refining infiu-
ences Of gscd sselety.

a New Use for Chicken Feathers,


Chicken feathers are among those
waste products of the farm of which no
regular means of utilization has here
tofore been suggested. Myriads of
them are strewn over the barn yard,
packed into the floor of the chicken
house, or are converted into positive
nuisances by the wind which be-
stews them over lawns and flower
oeds, or drives them into open doors
and windows. The down alone is,
we believe, occasionally used us a
stufhng for pillows or cushions, and
sometimes employed as an adultera-
tion in goose feathers; but the long
piumes OF the wings, sides, and tail
OF the bird, unless made into rude
bundles to serve as busters for the
house wife, or generally regarded as
totally worthless.
According to statistics very care.
fully compiled" says a writer in La
Nature, "we throw away yearly a
quantity of chicken feathers the in.
trinsic value of which is equal to the
money which we pay out for cotton"
A startling statement, but the author
considers it true; and he proceeds
to explain how the feathers are pre-
pared to render them valuable: The
operation is to cut the plume por-
tions of the feathers from the stem,
by means of ordinary hand scissors.
The former are placed in quantities
IN coarse bag, which, when full, is
closed and subjected to a thorough
kneading with the hands. At the
end of five minutes, the feathers, it
is stated, become disaggregated and
felted together, forming down, per-
fectly homogeneous and of a great
lightness. 1t is even lighter than
natural elder down, because the lat
ter contains the ribs of the feathers,
which give extra weight. The mat
terial thus prepared is worth, and
readily sells in Paris for, about two
dollars a pound. About 1.6 troy
ounces of this down can be obtained
from the feathers of an ordinary
sized pullet:; and this on the above
valuation lis worth about twenty
cents. 1t is suggested that, through
the winter, children might celleot all
the feathers about farm and cut the
ribs out as we have stated. BY the
spring time large quantity of down
would be prepared, which could be
disposed of to upholsterers, or en-
ployed for domestic uses. Goose
feathers may be treated in similar
manner, and thus two-thirds of the
product of the bird utilized, instead
of only about one-fifth, as is at pre-
sent the case.
The chicken down is said to form
beautiful cloth when woven. For
about square yard of the material
pound and half of down is requir-
ed. The fabric is said to be almost
indestructible, as, in place of fraying
or wearing out at folds, it only seems
to felt the tighter. It takes dye
readily, and is thoroughly water
proof. There appears to be a good
opportunity here for some ingenious
person to invent machines to cut and
treat the feathers.-Scisntifc Amaeri-

sought by her young friends, no par
ty being complete without her, the
delight and joy of all, he began to
feel that the society of a dull student
like himself must be irksome, and he
only then discovered what it would
be to have her always.
Toward the close of the visit, DIR.
Randall proposed that the party
should transfer themselves to his
place for week or so. This invita-
ton was hailed with delight. for
Randall Place, with its majestic
trees, beautiful view, long avenues,
grassy lawns, and above all, grand
mysterious rooms, closed since his
his mothers death, were objects to
all. Not the smallest of Kitty's
pleasures was that she found dear
Aunt Ruth there. But yet Kitty
carried dreary heart the while, for
1t seemed to her that all her interest
IN life was concentrated in one spot,
and how she was to leave it /!
One day DIR. Randall sat in his
library alone, his head buried in his
hands. Aunt Ruth came softly in,
and saw his look of wretchedness.
"Thee ought to be a happy man,
Hugh Randall, with these broad
lands, and thy great opportunities to
do good. But thee dost not look So"
"Aunt Ruth, l would give all of
these, and more for one little eve.
lamb that is not mine."
"What dost thou mean, Hugh ?"
81 mean that my selfish heart pines
for your little Kitty"
Aunt Ruth walked out of the libra
ry with more celebrity than her aged
body usually permitted, went to Kit
ty's room in manner that might be
called excited, and said /:
katharine, 60 to the library, the
doctor has need of thee"
Kitty hastened, little alarmed.
"Aunt Ruth says you want me, DR..
Randall"
81 do want you'll do! What
else did she say =? That my whole
being was crying out for you, that
my heart is hungry and Unsuitable ?
But l did not mean to disturb your
happy life. 1 did not mean this
knowledge should come to YOU"
Kitty turned her sweet, true face
upon him.
"Dr. Randall, in all the world,
there is nothing would rather have
than your love-"
She has been his wife now for six
months.
Mrs. Randall is good and noble
lady. DR.. Randall is good and
noble man and there is no reason
why they should not lead good and
happy lives. Aunt Ruth has closed
her little house, and is their horored
guest. Kitty still strives ardently to
keep her resolution, but her husband
thinks she never had need to make

A..dispatch to the Nonpariez from
Alton, dated the 10th, says: In
formation was received to. day that
little girl, ten years of age, daughter
of Charles Able, living five miles
southeast of Alton, was met by
some one and horribly outraged.
There is very little hope of the
child's recovery. Officers and citi-
zens from here are assisting the cit
izens Of the township to capture the
wretch.
An aggravated case of seduction
has just been developed near Abba.
A farmer near that place has two
daughters that he has never allowed
to receive company or go into COM
pany. The conduct of the parents
in this regard has been SO conspicu-
GUS as to excite neighborhood re-
mark. A few months ago, the neigh
boring boys and girls planned sur
prise party. At eight o'clock the
old gentleman ordered his girls to
bed and drove the company from the
premises. Some time ago a nephew
of the farmer came to live with him.
The development, according to the
Leader, is that both girls are about
to become mothers, having been
seduced by their cousin. The wretch
fed as soon as the facts were discov-
cred, but the old man followed him,
brought him back, and made him
marry the youngest girl, who is only
fifteen years old.
