These he was vigorously beating into the

A Missouri family history runs thus !:
"Sallie White ran away some years ago
with her brother-in-law, Aaron Davis !;
he, however, returned to his wife, and
she married a Mr.. Nicely, who eloped
and left her. Two years ago her cousin,
Ezekiel, ran away with a Mrs. Winland,
both parties leaving families. Last
month, Aaron Davis's son, Morton, a
boy of nineteen, ran away with his
mothers sister, woman of thirty, and
to complete matters, his father has again
eloped with his sister-in-law, Sallie."

A GERMAN paper expresses.uneasiness
at the decreasing population of Prussia
proper. Between 1861 and 1864 there
was an increase of S,409, but, between
1864 and 1867 there was a decrease of

n the last two wars, and for the Prus-

at the time of the census, the loss of
population in ten years amounts to
1920.

A REVOLUTION is to be expected in the
practice of medicine. A philanthropic
Frenchman has discovered a method of
administering drugs without the knowl-
edge of the patient. He keeps a medi-
cal dairy of goats, and the animals take
he physic, while the sick take the milk
of the properly-dosed "nanny." He
has his quinine, jalap, blue pill and
whisky goats always in milking order,
hut the principal difficulty with the
learned doctor has been that he found it
impossible to supply the demand for
patients requiring the last named and
popular medicine.

The late w. G. Ralston's favorite re-
taxation was driving, and no Jehu that
ever cracked a whip was more bold or
successful with four-in-hand. His
famous driving to and from his country
place. twenty-six miles from San Fran
cisco, which distance he always drove
over in two hours, was simply means OF
keeping his health. He drove two large
horses in an open buggy at six miles
out, man stood with pail of water for
the animals at 13l, fresh pair were
ready in harness for change and the
whole drive was as simple and easy, so
equal were the horses to their task, as a
pleasure ride in the park. Three years
ago, Mr.. Ralston was quite ill, and his
physicians said that, between sitting at
his desk and in his buggy, he had neg
lected his legs and his body, and must
abandon his driving. So he abandoned
his country house, bought saddle-horses
and has since lived i'll the city.
THERE is meat famine threatened in
Great Britain. This is in consequence
of the Privy Council having ordered that
all beasts coming from abroad be quar-
antined for twelve hours after landing,
and then inspected by a government Off
Ger. If only one animal of the number
is found to be diseased the entire lot are
at once slaughtered. The importers
complain that by such proceeding they
suffer heavy loss. The graziers Of the
north of Europe have thrown up their
British trade, and declare that they will
ship no more live stock to England.
Should they carry out their threat, the
price of meat in great Britain will adj
vance greatly, and at the present mo-
ment it is so high that it is almost i'm
possible for the working classes TO buy
it. Great Britain depends to very
great extent on Ireland, Belgium, Nor
way, and Sweden for meat, and the shut
ting these countries ont of the British
market cannot but entail much suffering
on the people.
