A Condemned Mans Hair Turns White
Suddenly.

Father Lechner visited Ike Hooper,
the condemned murderer, early yester-
day morning, and informed him of the
refusal of Governor Smith to grant Exc
cutive clemency. Hooper was at first
much agitated, and trembled like leaf
shaken by the wind, but soon became
more composed, and during the day
seemed to have become more reconciled
to his fate. A remarkable fact in con-
nection with this case is an exemplifi-
cation of the oft-told story that mems
hair sometimes turns gray in single
night. When Hooper was sentenced by
Judge Pottle last month his hair was per-
fectly black. The morning after the SEN
tence was imposed Mr.. Bridges, keeper
of the jail, noticed on entering the con-
demned mans cell that portion of his
head was perfectly white. He immedi-
ately asked him where he had obtained

A PERILoUs SLEIGH R1DE.-The
Hartford Post says that a well-known
Captain of that city, who owns fast horse,
concluded that he would take sleigh
ride the other day, and with his wife
went to Winsdor Locks by the way OF
the river. They arrived safely, visited
their friends, and toward night started
for home. It had commenced showing,
and their friends were anxious about
their ride home. But the Captain,
knowing the speed of the animal he
owned, bet that he could do it in given
time. The bet was taken, and he started
and made half the distance inside of
time. Then the wind, which was blow
ing squat, struck the sleigh, throwing
it clear round, and nearly throwing the
horse down. He started off again, and
had gone but short distance when the
squat again struck them, swinging the
sleigh around with great force, and this
time throwing the horse. The Captain
got out to get the horse up and was
blown some rods away, and so blinded
by the snow that he could not see the
team, and could only regain it by following
the sound of his wife's voice. He final
ly reached the team, however, got the
horse up without damage, and started
for the city, where he arrived behind the

Horrible Death from the Bite of a
Tarantula.

Mrs. Jervis, the wife of a farmer iv-
ing near Sacramento, died few days
ago in this city from the bite of a taran-
lula. The case is singular, and is anoth-
er instance of the deadly attributes of
this insect, not uncommon in many pOr-
tons of California. Some six months
ago, Mrs Jervis, then living on her hus-
bands farm, had occasion to strike a
light, and going to closet felt about for
a match. While SO doing she found
something in piece of writing paper
which she thought mightbe bunch of
matches, and took hold of it. AS she
did she feft sharp pain like the prick
of needle or pin, and found something
attached to her fore-fnger. She screened
with terror. Her husband rose, Lit
candle, and to his horror found that she
was bitten by tarantula-whose poison
is deadly unless the wound be immediate
ly cauterized. He told his wife that she
had only one chance of her life, to have
the injured part cut out. She consented,
and getting his razor, he cut piece one
inch square out of her finger The unfort-
innate woman stood the operation hero
ically, but it's effects were not such as
were desired. She fingered for six
months in continual agony, her blood
literally drying up, till she was reduced
to an absolute skeleton. Three months
before her death her entire right side
became paralyzed; yet, strange to say,
the hand had tendency to crawl, and the
fingers necessarily moved like the legs
of spider. This feeling she said she
could not control, and it presents one of
the strongest phases of this disease,
though a usual accompaniment, so
averred, of poisoning by insects of
the spider kind.-S03o Francisco Post.

Shlfflessness and lazyness are often

They never do ennything entirely right,
and perhaps not entirely wrong, and yu

Low and soft the answer came =
Yes"
The heart of woman is a MYSTERY
that cannot fathom. I was certainly
outwitted by my nephew. He might
have been afraid, however, that nv con
science would reproach me if Katie
showed her disappointment. have lit
tie doubt that she loved me far better
than she would confess.
All, well they were married in due
time, and we are all living together. The
dear children do everything they can to
add to my happiness.
Katie is still beautiful woman, and
Charlie is the staff Of my old age.
Inever saw the ghost again In fact,
I have good reason to think that the mys-
terious visitant was a certain graceless
nephew of mine, who had fallen in love
with Katie. OF course [ forgave the de-
ception long ago, as it saved me from a
terrible mistake.
I am much happier, probably, than if
I had married the young girl whose heart
belonged to another. I am not certain,
however, that she did not accept Charlie
from pique at my rejection. Any way,
he has made her good husband.
