A late analyzation of marriage statis-
tics In England by skillful and patient
calculator is of some interest to women
of any age. 1t makes comparative
estimate of what woman's chances in
life are worth, and warns her when she
is throwing them away. Say woman's
chances of marriage are hundred. Be
tween the ages of ID and 20 she exhausts
14I chances. Ii she is not married at
%, so more of her chances are Cancelled.
If 80 finds her in single misery, she has
only Is! chances left ont of the hundred.
They go slow now, but she has not many
left. After 80 years she has III
chances to run on and here the statisti-
clan stops, being particular about his
figures. But he gives the maiden of
60 grain of comfort by telling her that
she has just ITO of chance of marriage
out of the round hundred with which
she is supposed to have started life at Is.

jeremiah Black, of Pennsylvania, q

repealed. r. NJ. L. Hunter, of Virginia,
an old State-rights leader and Rebel Con-

all the amendments adopted since 1861
to be null and void. Just as fast as the
Democracy get in power they will set
aside. these great safeguards of freedom,
as is seen in Georgia, where they put
such an exorbitant poll-tax on the ne
groes, and made the payment of it so
peremptory, as a requisite for voting,
that thousands of "black Republicans

Curled herself up warm inside,
And went fast asleep.
Here's cosy kitty.
Struggled up so nice;
Would she waken, do you think,
If whispered-mice,
Fie, kitty lazy kitty.
Oft I've heard it said,
Mice have such jolly time
When the cats abed.

When the battles won.
It's no use she won't heed;

Gently resorted to the following expert
ment to determine whether the ice on
rivers and creeks thickens on the bottom
or on the top. He cut a hole in the ice
opposite West Point, and bolted piece
of board to the under side. Examining
it three or four days afterward he found
the bolt head on the top just as he had
left it; and cutting through the ice
found the board sandwiched between the
upper layer of the ice to which it had
been bolted, and about four inches of
solid ice which had formed underneath
it, showing conclusively that ice thickens
on the underside, and not on the top.

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt o
the nature of the disease of their patients.
The country seems to be filled with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to hnd
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: A general depression OF spirits,
with evil forebodings, a whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with a bad taste ia the mouth,
especially in the morning, pain in the sldes
and hack, urine scanty and high %colored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
| headaches, a distressed feeling at the PIT OF
the stomach, food affording no nourishment;
| The patient feels tired all the while, ana
sleep affords but little rest. After a time a
drv, hacking cough sets in, followed after a
time with SPECIFICATION, hands and feet cold
| and clammy at times, a general wasting OF
the body. In such cases we need a remedy
that will act upon the liver, kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when We
use such a remedy it affords relief. I'M

about 1000 feet, it collapsed, and Atchl-
son fell with frightful speed to the
ground. When the balloon was beng
inflated the crowd called out that 1t was
burning, but Grady, the manager OF the
concern, paid no heed to the cries. al
fhouCh many of those that were present
assert that it was plain that the fears OF

balloon was allowed to rise. The crowd
watched the ascent with great anxiety,

horror the poor victim came down with
frichtful speed. In his descend he
struck a tree-top, and a large limb was
broken off by the collision, and, Tor

of his fall. His left thigh was broken,
his arm badly bruised, and he received
other injuries, which, it were feared
would prove fatal. The place where ne

~Schroeder's Aerial Ship What the In

Work has commenced on the ship,
and If is confidently expected that she
will be ready for her trial trip in about
two weeks. The skeleton of the ship is

wise by single o wire. The ship ltseif
is eiphty-five feet long, nine feet high,
and eight feet wide, and in shape re-
sembles a long steamship hull, with the
execution that the fore and aft proJec-
lions extend about seven feet from the
body of the ship. The iron shaft runs
l~engthwise, the pushing propeller beng
attached to one end, and the pulllng
propeller to the other, in order that they
can be worked to the best advantage,
and to allow the ship to turn around on
its W pivot in the air. Underneath
are two rudders, n fore and n ait,
for steering purposes. On making the
ascent, the pulling propeller will be put
in motion, assisted by the pushing pro-
peller and the rudders, and thus the in
ventor confidently expects to be able tt
GO whithersoever he will.
: The ship is attached to the balloon by
l.496 ropes, situated at equal distance
apart, in order to preserve as exact
balance as possible. The capacity o
the balloon Is 265, 919 cubic feet. Hy
drogen gas will be used, and this sub
stance is so light that it is calculated
that N cubic foot will have a lifting
power of one and three-quarter ounces
thus making the lifting power of tn
balloon about $4,000 pounds, or nearl
fifteen tons. 1t is not probable that tn
balloon will be inflated to its full capac
ity, inasmuch as the extreme rarefat
ton of the air at great attitudes tends
withdraw the outside pressure from tn
| balloon, and the hydrogen inside, thu
relieved of outward PRESSURE, will eN
