A United States MarshaPs Dilemma.

The lines of the revenue officer are not
cast in pleasant places anywhere He is
looked upon usually merely as the minion
of despotic power, and his useful Off
ciousness is constantly getting him into
trouble. There are grades OF misery for
the revenue officer, and the very bottom
round seems to have been reached lately
by one of the class in Virginia. 1t was
only his ingenuity and presence of mind
that got him out of purgatory. Near
Lynchburg, Va, several women have
lately been indicted for illicit distilfing,
the men engaged in the business contriv-
ing to shift the responsibility upon the
weaker vessels in the vain hope that the
gallantry of the officers would prevent the
arrest OF the really culpable ones wives
and daughters. One Marshal, unaffected
by the claims of sex, arrested woman and
started Oft with her He hadn't gone far
before he wished his prisoner were man.
Five dreadful miles the woman was carried
in buggy, and at every revolution Of the
wheels she emitted a shrek to raise the
dead. There was no stilling her, patron
css Of the "stilr' though she was, and
there was no remaining unmoved under
that dreadful dispcnsation ofscrcams. The
Marshal, at first apathetic, became first
vexed, then nervous, then desperate. Po-
siti"n, reputation, anything might go
rather than further endure the company of
that terrible woman. A country doctor
was met and to him the dcmoralizcd Of
fetal offered five dollars If he would give
certificate that the woman was not in a
condition to travel. The'doctor promptly
and obligingly agreed to the proposition,
and the Marshal in a moment set the
shrieking woman free in the middle of the
road. The shrewd rascal who had relied
upon the officers gallantry had miscalcu-
lated, but he had gained his end. Man
born OF woman cannot endure an unlim-
tied dose of such female vocalism as the
Marshal suffered undcr.-St. Louis Re
publican.

INCIDENTS AND ACCIDENTS,

Gov. Leslie, of Kentucky, was recent
ly fined for playing croquct in the State
House square at Frankfort.
"A few days ago drunken man fell
over the river bank at Niagara Falls,
distance of 40 feet, and escaped with but
few slight bruises.
"A couple of men fishing in the north
crn part of Pennsylvania recently stumbled
upon den of rattlesnakcs. They killed
forty-nine of them in fifteen minutes.
"A woman in Kentucky, rendered in
sane by the death of her child, recently
starved herself to death, living forty five
days without taking a mouthful of food.
The babe had died after receiving dose
of medicine prescribed by physician,
and the mother became impressed with
the idea that she had poisoned her child.
The paddlc-whecls of large steamer
on the St. John River, in Florida, stopped
suddenly few nights ago, and then came
crash in the wood work. A panic fol-
lowed, everybody rolling out of bunk
and rushing for the deck, and it was soon
ascertained that big alligator had got en-
tangled in the revolving wheel, where he
was now enjoying life.
"A very serious accident recently hap
pcned in st. Louis, whereby man lost his
life by slight circumstance. Robert
Meyers, an employe of the American Wine
Company, was carrying a ten gallon key
of wine from one apartment to another
when he stumbled and fell, the key coming
down upon his head, crushing his skull
and injuring him fatally.
Two nice young women of Winooski,
N. Y, drove out with nice young man,
and they liked the odor of his cigar. A
spark from the delightful Havana dropped
on the dress of one of the young women
and she was burned to death. The other
young woman, badly blistered, at last &C
counts was still in bed waiting for the yer.
dict of the old and trusted family physi
clan.
"A few days ago a child of Mr.. A.
Langley, residing near Goshen, Ala,
while playing in the yard was attacked by
rooster and was knocked down and
spurred several times in the face and head
before the mother could rescue it. One
stroke of the spur penetrated the brain
The little sutferer-eighteen months old
fingered in great agony for three days
when death came to its relief.
"A short time since the attention OF
Mr.. Alexander Caldwell, who lives neal
Hillsborough, N. H., was attracted by the
loud cries of some robins which had built
their nest in front of his house. On going
out he found that large adder had beer
| robbing the nest, and was hanging by its
tail from one of the lower limbs with 8
young robin in its mouth, He quickly
dispatched the snake and returned the
bird to its nest.

perceived that she had lost shoe. He
then took herto blacksmith, had the miss
ing shoe replaced and new one put on the
other fore-foot. Then he rode her up and
down q plowcd field until she was nearly
worn out, and quietly took her home and
pulledoff the bride Just before her hus-
band awokc. The honest blacksmith
arose, utterly ignorant of what had been
going on; but his wife complained of be-

was sent for. When he came he wished
to feel the patients pulse, but she refused
to show her hands. Esculapius was per-
picked; but the husband, vexcd by her
obstinacy, pulled off the bed-clothcs, and
the horse-shoes were found tightly nailed
to her hands. On examination her sides
were found to be raw and bruised by the
kicks given her by the apprentice boy
during his ride. Tie brothers now came
forward and told their story. On the fol-
lowing day the witch was tried by the
magistrates of Selkirk and condemned to
be burned to death on stone at Bull
sheugh-a sentence which was promptly
carried into effect. 1t is added that the

Germany was the first country to be-
come aroused to the folly of this popular
delusion concerning witchcraft, and to
protest against the atrocities which it oc-
casioned. A crusade against it was headed
by physician named Weier, who demon
strated the absurdity and impossibility of
the prevalent notions as early as the mid
die of the sixteenth century. But so
great was the difficulty of uprooting the
stupid superstition that persons were ex-
ecuted for witchcraft in Switzerland as
late as 1882. The laws against it were
not repealed in England until 1886. The
common people in some parts of Great
Britain still believe in the power of
witches, and in 1868 reputed wizard was
