An Appeal for Aid.

Governor Davis, of Minnesota, has
issued circular to the oranges of that
State, in which he says:
1 am compelled to ask the co-spera
tion of each grange of your powerful
organization in relieving the destitution
OF our fellow citizens in the southwest
ern counties. That region has been
traversed by trustworthy uen and they
report unanimously state of destitu-
tion which has noparallel in our history
as State. The time for silence as to
this condition of affairs has passed by
and the time for prompt and liberal &C.
tion by all who are willing to do as they
would be done by has arrived. The
counties of Martin, Murray, Jackson
and Cottonwood and portions of Noble
and Watonwan, and, possibly, to some
extent, other communities, have been
swept by grasshoppers of all crops as
completely as if by fire. Women and
children are suffering for want of food.
The implements and stock of the set
tiers are under mortgage, given in order
to tide over the privatious of last year.
L have told the people that their fellow
citizens whom kind Providence has
blessed with abundance will stand by
them in this their dire extremity. Con-
tributions in money are most desirable,
provisions and clothing scarcely less so.
Send contributions to General H. H.
Sibley, st. Paul, MINI.
Although the Governor has not asked
for assistance from outside the State,
the contributions of the benevolent, ad-
dressed as above, will be gratefully re-
ceived, and will be sure to be used in
relieving the distress of people suffering
for food from no fault OF their own.

St. Cecilia,

A writer on st. Cecilia says: "It
was Nero who had her put to death.
Her head was ordered to be cut off.
The lictor struck at it three times and
failed to complete his work, only in
ficting awful wounds upon her neck.
According to Roman law if the head
was not struck off at the third blow the
victim was considered pardoned. So
Cecilia remained alive, though cruelty
wounded, for several days, during which
time she was visited by the faithful,
who came to soothe her dying hours,
and to dip their linen into her blood,
which they preserved as relics. She
fingered three days, and finally, over
come with pain, tnrned her face to-
wards the ground and breathed her pure
spirit into the bosom of the Bride
groom. That evening her sacred re-
mains were placed in coffin of cypress
wood and buried in the cemetery of
st. Calixtus. Here they were discov-
cred in the sixteenth century, and her
beautiful statue by Bernini, now in the
Church of st. Cecilia, is modelled after
the attitude in which the sculptor found
the body. The face is turned to the
ground, and the hands and the whole
attitude is expressive of person that
has fallen suddenly either dead or in a
faint. 1t is by far the finest work OF
sculpture produced in that century OF
decadence in art.

Some Facts About Horses.

1t seems to be the fashion Just now to
record the good qualities of particular
horses. We are told of one animal
which, abandoned in California snow
storm, was kept alive with food furnish
ed by the railroad men at a desolate
station near, and finally brought out of
the snow safe and sound after q three
weeks imprisonment. So much for
endurance. AS for gratitude, here is
an animal in Kentr cky which recently
became painfully and dangerously en-
tangled with q cart, and which, after
being rescued, considered the matter q
moment, and then quietly rubbed his
nose against the shoulders of the one
who was most active in helping him. A
horse with memory is described as
having been in the habit of going to a
river about one third of mile from his
stable and there bathing, afterward
rushing off to a common to roll on the
grass, and then with the freedom of air
starting for home. If he met his mas
ter he would show some coltish pranks,
bound for the stable, pull out the
wooden pin that fastened the door with
his teeth, and rush to the manger where
he expected to find his food. One night
the horse was stolen from his stable,
and after sixteen years his owner saw
driven up to an inn door one which
looked exactly like him. The driver
agreed to give him up if would go
through the performance detailed above.
Accordingly he was taken to his old
yard, looked over the premises little
while, then started for his old bath-tub,
then for his green towel on the common,
then to his old stable, pulled the wood
en- pin, won for himself good meal and
his old master his favorite horse. If
longevity be good quality, then here
are several animals deserving recogni-
ton : One living at Bradford, N. H.,
is forty-nine years old, and doesn't look
like departure yet. Another, exhibited
last fall at the Pennsylvania State Fair,
is white headed veteran of forty-one,
which has never been sick single day.
Another in Kentucky is thirty three
years old, and might live to be great
deal older were it not for entire loss of
teeth. An excellent old pony in New
Haven has come to thirty-fve summers,
and is still active and useful, though
somewhat gray.-N. Y. Tribune.

An Extraordinary COurtship.

One of the celebrities of New Jersey
is Trenton colonel, banker, editor and
patron of literature, the fine arts, fine
horses and fiances. A widow lady re-
Gently moved to Trenton, who owned
fine horse, which the colonel saw and
became desirous of possessing. He
visited the fair owner, but she would
not part with the valuable animal. The
colonel, being a widower, after short
reflection, determined to possess both
the fine horse and the fine lady. He
pushed his suit with such ardor that in
three weeks from the date of his first
visit to see the horse, he and the widow
were engaged to be married. Two days
before the time fixed for the wedding
the colonel had a carriage filled with
flowers of the choicest varieties, and,
accompanied by his intended, he Wis
tied his former wife's grave and decor
ated the grounds and the handsome
monument he had erected to her men,
ory, in the most tasteful manner. The
next day the loving couple in like
manner visited another cemetery,
where they handsomely decked the
grave of the lady's dead husband, and
after having made these appropriate
peace offerings TO the names of their
departed loves, the colonel and the
widow were next day married, and
started upon their happy wedding tour.
Who but the colonel could do up a
thing in style like this?

The following is simple mode of
rendering water almost as cold as ice:
"Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used
for water be surrounded with one or
more folds of coarse cotton kept con-
stantly wet. The evaporation of the
water will carry off the heat from the
inside and reduce it to a freezing
point" In India and other tropical
regions where ice cannot be procured
this is common.
Abiding to O recent event in San
Francisco, where two editors indulged
in the amusement of shooting at one
another, a local journal says: eve
think that one was quite justified in
trying to kill the other, and we believe
it unfortunate for the community that
the effort was not successful, as in that
case the public would have had an op-
portunity of getting rid of that second
nuisance by strictly legal means.
Justice is sometimes swift in Oregon,
even when administered according to
law. A brawling fellow named Glib
bens fred pistol at a woman in Port
land. An officer interfered, and Glib
bens killed the officer. The next day,
Monday, an inquest was held, and on
Tuesday Gibbens was committed for
trial. On Wednesday he was indicted,
and on Thursday he was arraigned, on
Friday he was found guilty, and on
Saturday he was sentenced to be
hanged.

changed three times. The man places
the ring first on the woman's finger,
then the priest changes the mans ring
and places it on her finger, and then
again the priest and the man join and
place the ring where it is to remain for
life.
Again prayers ascend, again q beauti-
full hymn is chanted, and then crowns
are held over the heads of those who
have be3n married. The priest joins
their right hands together and leads
them three times round the desk on
which the painting rests, and on which
the three candles are burning. There
is much of crossing and bowing.
Then the Lords Supper is admins
tered in q strange way, with cup

wine mixed are administered to each,
and they arise from their knees.
The ceremony so far finished, the
friends of the bride and bridegroom
congratulate each other, but the young
couple are beckoned to the altar by the
priest, and with them alone he whis-
pers prayers. At length, the whole
service finished, the bridal party return
home, and a scene of much enjoyment
follows.

A Bloody Freak,

The Troy Press says Mr.. J. W.
Palmer, lawyer of this city, met with
a most extraordinary accident, that at
one time threatened very serious conse,
quences. He had been using a steel
pen of rather large dimensions, and on
finishing his work had placed the pen
behind his ear, using that delicate
organ as a pen-rack. At length, the pen
being in such close proximity to the
brain, evidently became charged with
the subtle essence of thought, and gave
a sudden spring. To prevent it from
falling on the floor, Mr.. Palmer brought
his knees together with quick, strong
movement, and in SO doing drove the
pen its whole length, about an inch and
a half, into the heshy part of the left
thigh, piercing an artery. 1t required
all his strength to draw out the steel,
and when he did so the blood spurted
clear across his Office. The wound bled
most profusely, but at length by the
assistance of friends the blood was
stopped, and doctor was called, who
dressed the wound. No real danger te
the limb is apprehended,
