A WOMAN WHO THRIvEs ON PINES.

A WOMAN WHO THRIvEs ON Pines
The Kingston On. W Freeman says:
There is lady in the upper party Of
the city who is fine subject for scient-
ifc investigation. Size is born pin
swallower. We don't mean that she
swallows Delaying pins, or clothes-pins,
but the small pins SO necessary for wo-
men Id making their toilets. And the
strangest part of it is, they agree with
her, SO she is waxing healthy and fat.
The lady, like all women, formed the
habit of holding pins in her mouth, and
one day accidentally swallowed six. She
was terribly alarmed and expected to
die, but day after day passed by with
out any trouble being experienced from
this strange diet, so she became quite
unconcerned about it. In less than
month after nearly a dozen slipped
through her lips and also, moved on
gracefully down her throat. No trouble
whatever came from these either; and
then it seems the woman acquired an IL
resistible liking for pins, She swallow
ed half dozen Or 30 every now and
then, and as this diet has been continu-
ed nearly year, she must be pretty
well lined with brass. When this lady
took her first meal of brass she was a
slight, fragile being, in very bad health.
In a few weeks she began to improve,
and as we before stated, the more pins
she swallows the healthier she becomes.

IT was in Paris. An elegent lady goes
out shopping. While she is engaged,
there is a heavy fall of rain. The streets
are flooded, and to add to her distress
her carriage stands on the far side of a
large, open square, which has become a
lake. She signals to the driver, but his
horses being young will not face the
water. She stands on the edge of the
curb stamping her little feet, and not
knowing what to do. A gentleman pas
ses and takes the situation in at a glance
Throwing is cigar aside, he steps up to
the lady, SEXES her by the waist, de
hcately plunges into the tide, and lands
her safely on the lower step of her car
riage door. Recovering from her aston
ishment, she turns round and mutters,
''Insolent!'' The gentleman loses no
time but steps back to the lady, seizes
her by the waist, delicately plunges in
to the tide, and lands her where she
stood before. He then takes off his hat,
bows politely and walks away.

A LEAP FOR LIFE.-Deputy United
States Marshal Root captured a motor
ious counterfeiter named Jim Field,
alias Friend, at Ottumwa, Iowa, on the
18th. He had upon his person when
arrested large roll of counterfeit notes
and several citizens of Ottumwa identify
him as having ''shoved the queer to a
considerable extent i'll that city. Until
recently he had made his headquarters
at ST. Joseph, Missouri, On his way
to Keokuk, Friend obtained permission
to go to the water closet. Immediately
after entering, he raised the window and
jumped out. The officer, who suspected
that he intended to try to escape, WAS
watching from the platform of the car,
and so prorapt was he in leaping after
the. prisoner, that the two fell side by
side. The officer sprang to his feet, Sci
zed the prisoner by the throat, and held
him until the train was stopped and taken
back.

A BANGOR fruit-dealer has been pay
ing bet recently, with the making of
which he had nothing to do. Two we'll
known gentlemen stepped in, and, be-
ginning to eat ORANGES, informed the
proprietor that they had made a bet of
the organes on certain question, and
after the bet was decided the loser would
pay for those which they we're eating.
To this the dealer in fruits was agreed,
and the customers ate all they desired.
The next time they were in the store Ae
inquired which one was to pay for the
oranges. Don't know yet, was the re-
ply; II bet that when the Brewer bridge
is carried away, the Brewer end will go
first, and Smith bet that the Bangor end
will go first" The oranges were i'm
mediately charged to profit and loss.

A MAMMOTH JAPANESE IDOL,

| Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
YOKOHAMA, December 26.-The idol
OF Dalbutz, the largest and most famous
| OF the many gods of Japan, is iii the
| midst of a plain, once the site of large
city. Now it is only surrounded by a
thin grove of trees, which have outlived
the more perishable temples and shrines
once included In these sacred grounds,
| and OF the city, only the small, stray
cling village OF kamakura remains The
approach to the statue is by broad
walk of fagstones, and [ almost dreaded
the moment when it would be in full
view, for fear of disappointment with
regard to its wonders, of which I had
heard SO much. But single glance dis
PEELED this idea, for it's grandeur and
size were fan beyond what I had pictur-
ed IN my mind. Daibutz, meaning the
"Great Buddha, is about 70 feet high,

god IN his usual state of profound re-
pose, sitting cross-legged, the eyes clos

tlon, and IN front of 1T, on a stone altar,
are two large bronze vases, each contain
ing blossoms and leaves of the lotus, a
sacred plant of the Buddhists, perfectly
carved in bronze; and in front of both is
the inevitable cash box. Climbing up
the folds of the gods garment, which
form safe footholds for some distance,
we sat down upon his immense thumbs,
and some idea may be formed of the
size Of this statue from the fact that
three grown persons can sit comfortably
on one thumb, between its end and the
second joint. This majestic idol, per-

A BAND of West Indians we're visiting
the Treasury Department a few days
since, and were taken into the Secret
service division where there are numer-
GUS photographs of people of peculiar
character, embracing thieves, counter
feiters, ETC., men, women and boys of
all nations and colors, but no Indians
After looking over the entire lot the
spokesman of the Indian party, turning
to his white escort, drew himself up
proudly, and with majestic wave of his
hand toward the group of pictures, said,

hearts, they ran quickly out upon the
porch. Suffering such anguish of fright
as people feel but once In a lifetime, and
without knowing for what reason, they
instinctivey glanced up the railroad
track
The train was smashing down the
rails at terrific speed. The whistle
shrieked again. Directly in the path of
the engine lay huge rock, which had
rolled down the embankment
The next instant the pilot of the loco
motive struck it, the train jumped from
the line and zigzagged a little way fur
ther, there was a terrible crash, the cars
crowded together, forming a chaotic
mass, cries and shrieks of agony went
up, and for the first time in its history
there had happened an accident on the
A-Railroad.
John Mortimer hurried quickly to the
scene. From cloud Of steam and de-
bris, where lay the shattered locomotive,
a human being emerged-a man whose
head had boiled upon his shoulders
while he was yet alive
It was the engineer, hideously seeded,
frantic with agony, but, unhappily for
him not dead.
Others crawled from the wreck
Those who could, set to work instantly
to rescue such as were beyond the power
of helping themselves. Some still
breathed, but nearly all sernblance to
humanity was crushed out of them.
Among the rest man was pulled from
beneath the ruins of the smoking-car,
and through his side huge splinter had
been driven like an arrow. It was
Lionel Chelmont.
Mr.. Chelmont was taken to Chestnut
Farm, and he recovered consciousness.
Nellie, distracted with grief was at his
bedside.
His first words were:
"Send for my wife.
They thought him delirious, but it
was not So In this, his last hour, he
told the truth that he was married
man. He implored Nellie to forgive
him.
81 loved and would have betrayed
you, my poor, girl, villain that I was,
he gasped ''but I am fifty punished.
Say that you forgive me, Nellie"
He died with that unansw cred prayer
on his lips. Next day his beautiful
young wife came, and there could be no
furtherdoubt. She told the history of
her own unhappiness- heaven had
bestoned upon Lionel Chelmont every
gift but that of strong moral nature,
and how that one defect blasted every
blessing.
It was long a mystery how the rock
had come to fall on the railway track,
and never till he grew to manhood did
Frank Tyrrel reveal the truth-that in
thoughtless mischief of childhood he
himself had cont1ived to loosen and
hurl it there that fatal afternoon when
his sister had SO impatiently longed for
change-even for some horrible acct
dent.
Nellie's nature was transformed. The
dreadful escape she had made was
lesson never to be forgotten.

places and old things are the best, after
all ;" and she married faithful John

CAPTAIN JOHN S. GODFREY. of New

CAPTAIN JOHN S. GODFREY, of New
Hampshire, will shortly visit California
on professional tour for the purpose Of
locating living streams and springs of
desert ption. Captain Godfrey claims no
supernatural power in the accomplish
ment of his work, but declares it to be
simply sensitive organism or powerful
current of electricity in himself, SO pow
erful as to attract him irresistably to
living streams and mineral deposits be-
meath the surface. During the late war
he located all the wells for the use of the
army under General Howard s command,
and at Hampton Falls, N. H., where
land was rendered valueless for want Of
water, he located streams, which now
supply all needed demands.

IT has been discovered that John
Mitchell was full feged citizen of the
United States. His election to the
British Parliament, therefore, was void
for that reason if for no other. Know
ing this fact, it is rather strange that he
should have permitted the use Of his
name as a candidate for Parliament. 1t
is probable, however, that he thought
that he NIL ht as well have the honor of
an election, and settle the question of
citizenship afterward. It is pretty GER
tain that an American citizen was never
before elected to the British Parliament.

AGAIN the third term question is being
agitated, and q few Republican papers
Throughout the country are advocating
the claims of Gen. Grant lpr q third
term. As nomiaating Presidents is the
principal business now of newspapers and
politicians generally We zee no special
objection to those favorins the re-nemi-
nation Of Gen. Grant saying so, but We
do object to their claiming that this is
the wish of the Republican party, or Of
any great portion of it. There is not
the remotest probability of his being the
candidate Of the Republican National
Convention next year, and q less possibil-
ity of his being elected if he should. The
resolution adopted by the Republicans Of
this State at their last State Convention
at Topeka is the sentiment, We think,
not only of the Republicans Of Kansas,
hut throughout the country. That reso-
luton is as follows:
Resolued, That the unwritten law
enacted by the father of his country in
declining a re election to a third term, is
as controlling rs though it was incorpo-
rated in the National Constitution, and
ought never to be violated.

The Herd Law.

1t is perhaps not generally known thai
We have two herd laws in force in thi.
State at the present time.
One of them, which We noticed las
week makes it the duty of the County
Commissioners, on presentation of til,
requisite petition. to issue an order pro.
hibiting animals from running at large
1t this petition is presented, the Commits
sioners will have no discretion in the
matter, but must make the order.
The other law gives the commissioners
power to make the order on their own
motion and without any petition. a,
first sight these two laws might seen,
antagonistic, but they are not, and in
the one first mentioned there is a section
providing that the old law shall remain
in full force and effect. One statute
says the Commissioners may make the
order whenever they see fit, while the
other provides that on presentation of a
petition they must do 3d. Woolson

For years that portion Of Texas lying
next to Mexico has been subjected to
innumerable raids by Mexican freeboot.
ers, and the American Claims Commits
sion has already audited millions of
dollars il .vor of our citizens, but it is
not at all likely that the Mexican gov.
eminent will make much of an effort
either to suppress the lawless marauders
or to pay the damages that have been
assessed. And now some of the leading
journals of the country are urging that
it is useless to longer resist manifest
destiny, Mexico will not suppress her
halfcivilized, lawless thieves, and in
order to have permanent peace the
United States should cut off good slice
of Mexican territory. Texas has long
wanted to take the matter in her own
hands. and if permitted to do so would
long since have annihilated these thiev-
ing greasers.
