S9~ One of the finest exhibitions
of woman's fidelity and heroism is
found in the devotion OF Madam e
Bazine to the fortunes of her hus-
band. Amid al the vicissitud es
through which he has lately passed
through evil report and through
good, she has remained the same no.
bic self sacrificing, devoted wife.
All the hardships OF bis restraint be-
fore trial she shared with him. and
lighteued by her presence and her
consolation. When he was arraign-
ed for one of the gravest of political
crimes, she sat at his side cheering
and comforting his dropping spirits.
When the death sentence was pro-
nounced against him and all hope
seemed to be cut off, she sought out
President Mac Mahon, and upon her
knees prayed for and secured a
change of the sentence. She then
shared the deprivatious of his con-
tinement upon barren island and at
last heroically planned and executed
his escape.

A Thin Piece Of Fraud

DUBUQUE, Ia, Aug. IA few
weeks ago a dispatch conveyed the
startling information that E. X.
Wood a drover, had been the victim
Of a highway robbery in Southern
Minnesota. Mr.. Wood reported that
while near Austin, in that state, he
came across two men that pretended
to have cattle for sale, and, while
leading him through the woods, they
gagged him, tied his hands behind
him, and extracted from his pockets
$4,000, Ascending afterwards to part
bold transaction in broad daylight
aroused the officers and residents Of
the county, and thorough search
was instituted, without finding the
highway robbers. 1t now turns out
that the robbery was a sham. Wood
returned TO his home in De Witt, and
received the sympathy of the COM
munity, who believed him TO be an
honest, upright mana reputation he
had always borne. The matter was
pldCCu III L1S uduuS VI DOtVCtlVO CbHb-
tuck, of Dubuque. He visited the
woods spoken of, and found only a
small belt of timber. He had an in
terview with Wood, charged him
with fraud, and received the confess
sion that the robbery was sham, and
that the funds were appropriated to
his own use. The Interview took
plaee last week in De Witt, in tee
presence of Judge Leffingwell. Wood
is endeavoring to effect settlement
without prosecution. Of the $4,000
appropriated $4,000 was borrowed
from Murdoch & Dinehart, bankers,
of De Witt, $1,000 from Thomas Glenn
ents, Of the same place, and $1,000
from farmer The affair has produc-
ed a great sensation in Clinton Coun-
ty, where Wood is widely known,
and has heretofore borne an enviable
reputation.

The North American Pie Bitter,
From the Napa, Cal. Register.

FROM the Napa Oal. Register
Our worthy Assessor, B. w. A.,
tells the following good story for the
truth of which he stands personally
responsible:
Some years ago stranger stop
ped for the night at wel[known
hotel in a neighboring town. The
stranger aforesaid had joined party
10 a game of cards, and had proved
so entertaining in conversation that
the hostess determined to learn his
name; so, watching her opportunity,
she openly questioned HIM as to the
cognomen he bore. MY name,
Madame" replied the ''convivial
cuss, sis Pie Biter,'' Nv hata name!
Whv, where in the world did you
ever get such name as that 7" eJac
ulated the hostess, evidently interes-
ted. "You SEQ Madam" continued
the stranger, as he dealt the cards
with an air as serious as funeral
service, "You see have very ca
pacious mouth Cat this moment let
ting fall his under jaw like trap
door TO an underground CELLAR, and
have as you discover, great biting
capacity. w ell, not many months
since | made bet of $500 that L
could bite through six mince pies at
once, and lost the money. The par
ties with whom | bet had taken the
precautlon to place two pewter
plates in the center, and they were
too much for me-"
II wouldn't have paid it, exclaim-
ed the hostess"
at was swindIe," cried the host,
associating said mouth with a large
beer mug, standing ready to be fill
ed.
81 never would have paid it." ex-
claimed the host and hostess in one
breath.
"Well, I did pay it," replied the
stranger, appearing moro serious
than ever, "and like fool, | suffered
myself to be swindled again. ]
made another bet, that | could bite
the heart out of a pumpkin through
crack in the fence, and would have
done it but the scoundrels rung in q
brush fence on me"
"B. W." asserts that be has had a
long and varied, if not a romantic
experience on this planet, but no
scene arises in memory wherein he
was so sorely taxed to maintain his
gravity rs on the occasion referred
to. He was too conscientious to
laugh, but through pure love for
the stranger, be "trumped" his part
ner's ace, threw away his lett bower,
and declared "Pie Bitter" winner of
two points.

A gentleman living in Newton,

grasshopper in it's descent upon the
country
81 went into the field at 2 p. M,
and happening to cast my eyes to
the northwest ! beheld what appear
ed to be dense column of smoke
rising. which kept increasing until
it extended along the horizon from
west to north. | was struck with
astonishment. How could the prair-
les burn and the grass green? was
the mental calculation. But in half
an hour the mystery was explained.
The column approached nearer, un-
til it finally struck, with the force Of
a mighty tempest, and behold, it was
one vast cloud of grassboppers. The
air was one dense mass of living
creatures. They reached from the
ground as high as the eye could
reach, the lower ones alighting and
covering the ground entirely, and
loading down trees, bushes, weeds
and everything"
They passed on east the next day,
leaving not even a vestige OF corn, or
anything in the shape of vegetables.
