onto her back and get out. He did SO
and was saved, but, in doing as she babe
him, he pushed her under the ice, under
which she drifted five or six yards, and,
of course, when taken out was quite
dead. What noble girl /! Gould any
hero whose name shall live forever in
story do more than she did? At her age
she knew well the peril, but boldly ven
trlred life and love and youth to save an
other. She died exemplifying the prin-

vation-and while we mourn over the
loss of SO fine and NOBLE spirit, there is
a mournful satisfaction in knowing that
such heroic devotion still lives on earth.

4 State.HOuSe ON Fire,

The ianitor of the Capitol at Des
Moines recently discovered a small con-
fagration in the Representatives Hall,
happily in time to extinguish it, and
thus save the State loss of seventy or
eighty thousand dollars. This is the
fourth time the Capitol has been on fire,
and the State Register gives the follow
ing account of it's previous narrow es-
capes from destruction
"The first fire took place in 1860,
and connected Herewith was an incident
as providential as the conversation of the
geese that saved Rome. One evening
distinguished member of the House was
seized with an irresistible desire, about
nine o'clock, to visit the scene Of his
daily labors. Accordingly he wendell
his way to the landing at the head of the
stairs, tried the door, and-found it
locked. Then the desire became stronger.
He did not suspect anything wrong
inside, nor did he have any particular
business there, but for some unknown
reason he thought he must effect an en-
trance. While he was studying over the
matter, another Representative came on
the ground, and the two forced open the
door. They found the room filled with
smoke and In front of the stove was a
hole, about two feet across, burned
through the mating and floor. The
janitor was a gentleman from Bohemia,
and a worshipper at the shrine of Gam
brinus When he had finished his task
Of sweeping and busting it was his wont
to worship as aforesaid. After filling the
stove full of coal, and opening the door,
on the night in question he repaired to
the place where Mr.. Gambrinus was, and
loaded up with lager. A chunk of coal,
noticing that the Speaker was not pres
ent to enforce order, tumbled down, and
started confaPration, which the two
wakeful Representatives extinguished.
The third fire occurred in 1872, and in
that stately apartment known as the Sen
ate Chamber. The Senate was in session,
and most of the members were awake
One Senator-tradition says it was the
one from the Madison county district
stood by the stove, warming that part of
his Legislative anatomy turned up for
feet, and smoking a cigar for his corns.
When he completed his fumigatiOn he
tossed the stub Of his cigar away, and
hastened to his seat to vote on bill for
settling the title to huckleberry marsh
on Mount Washington. Suddenly a
commotion was heard and an alarm of
fire was given, very mildly. The mat
ting surrounding that Senatorial cigar
stub was ablaze The flames were
mounting upward at least half an inch
when some Senatorial brogan sat down
on them like an elephant on a pissmire.
The Capitol was saved"

The Evansville Qnd) Courier says :
"The Colonel Mulberry Sellers in the
play, although the same Sellers, is not
Mulberry in the novel, But when
Clemens Mark Twain) and Warner is
sued their first edition of the 'Gilded
Age, they called him Eschol Sellers
Colonel Eschol Sellers. Now this name
is, with many of our citizens, name OF
familiar sound, as it belongs to an indi-
vidual actually in the flesh, who is well
known to many readers of the Courier:
The prototype of the renowned hero OF
the book is proprietor OF large coal
mine and mineral lands on the Lower
Ohio, below Shawneetown, ILL.,, in which
enterprise Philadelphia capitalists, among
whom ex-Secretary of the Navy Borie is
most prominent, are concerned with hum.
It is said that Mark Twain met this gen
tleman in the East somewhere, and from
the pecularities of the man was induced
to appropriate his name. When the fact
became known to Mr.. Sellers, through
the distribution of the first edition, he
Immediately went East and protested
against the unauthorized use of his
name, and the authors were compelled
to change the name SO far as to substl-
tute Beriah for EschOl, and at cost to
them, it is said, of $4,000, as part OF
the second edition was then under way,
and had to be destroyed. No doubt the
observing eye of the novelist must have
detected much of that in the man Sellers
which the Colonel Sellers in the book
expresses so forcibly and aptly IN the
short and pithy sentence, There is
millions in it = Mr.. Sellers, of Sellers's
Landing, is an inventor, and all the
world knows that inventors are, and
must be, idealists and enthusiasts. We,
of the everyday routine of life, can
hardly appreciate the inner feelings Of
the inventor and poet; and their vaga-
ries, to our dull eyes, seem but too often
vain vaporings and bubbles, while to
them they are realities-the children of
their brains-of each one Of which they
feel justified IN declaring to everybody
seeking investment: There are mill
ions i'll it, A number Of years ago Mr..
Sellers erected a paper-mill in the knobs
of Hardin county, ILL.,, overlooking the
Ohio river, opposite the town of Casey
vile, Ky, built small town, and estab-
lished a postofiee, and called the place
Sellers's Landing. The papermil was
built at great expense, after an invention
of his own. The material out of which
paper was to be made was cane, such as
grows in the bottoms of the Mississippi
river and its tributaries; and the cane,
to make it fit for paper and to separate
its fibre, was to be shot, as it were, out
of big iron guns in that mill, and there
was to have been millions i'll it. But,
alas THE mill has gone to decay, Ben
Bolt, and Sellers's Landing, like Stones
Landing in the book after failure of the
Salt Lick and Pacific railroad, is desert
ed, and grass grows in it's mud-paved
streets. Mr.. Sellers, however, is a man
of culture and refinement. He is Of old
Quaker stock, and the name stands well
in the city of Philadelphia. r"

MODERN MEDICAL DISCOVERY is
claimed that disease, with few excep-
tons, has been conquered by the research
and intellect Of enlightened men and
yet a noted professor of New York adj
mits that "of all sciences, medicine is
the most uncertain" and that thousands
are annually slaughtered in the sick
room" Certain "schools" of medicine
are in existence, one of which "makes
the patient Ill, " in order to claim cure ;
and another administers sugar coated
bread pills" relying upon nature to
effect her own cures. DIR. J. WALKER,
of California, an old and respected ply
stefan, tried both modes of treatment and
both failed. He then appealed to natures
curative-herbs and now enjoys rugged

Farming in the North

Some of our people think no
others see as hard times as they
do; and it may do them good to
learn how families live under
ground with fuel ten or twelve
miles distant. A correspon-
dent of an exchange paper,
writing from Pope county, Min
nesOta, says:
"Last week | was south Of
here thirty-five miles, and drove
my team the whole way without
seeing tree or bush Of any
kind. The land here, along the
line Of St. Paul and Pacific rail-
road, is mostly settled up by
Norwegians and Swedes, who
are accustomed to a cold eli
mate. Most Of them dig a
square hole in the ground, put
some timbers over the top, and
cover them with dirt and sods.
All you can see is a stOvepipe

When you drive up to the house

this year only went ten bushels
to the acre, and we are obliged
to cart it twenty miles to sell it

November, yet we have had
snow for three weeks. We get
five and a half months Of bare
ground to six and a half months

much cold weather before the
