Suicide of an Old Man.

At about have past three o'clock last
Monday afternoon the saloon of Richar
Sauter, on Main street, near the bri dye,
was the scene of sad suicide, Mr.. James
Kelley. an old man nearly IS years of age,
deliberately blowing his brains out with
pistol. Mr.. Kelly had been in the saloon
but few minutes, and..nothing unusual was
noticed in his actions. After paying one
or two parties in the saloon small sums he
was owing them, he moved towards the
door as it was supposed to 60 out, but in
an instant the report of the pistol was
heard and the old man was seen prostata on
the floor weltering in his blood. He held
the pistol close to his head with both hands
and shot himself through the base of the
brain. Of course death was almost in
Simultaneous. Domestic trouble is the
probable cause for this act. aggravated by
drinking, although we understand on good
authority the old man was perfectly sober
when he committed the deed. Mr.. Kelley
was a native of Ireland, and had resided in
this city with his daughter, Mrs. Moses
Forbes, for about two years. Previous to
his coming here he lived in Merton,
Waukesha County. Many will heaye a
sigh at the tragic end of old Mr.. Kelley.

Causes Of Nervousness.

The maladies which above all others
cause nervousness, are Dyspepsia, bilious
ness and constipation. The great sympa-
thetic nerve which connects the epigastrie
region with the brain, is always Injurious
ly affected if the stomach and bowels are
disordered a permanent arrangement OF
the functions of those organs rea:ts by SYM
pathy upon the entire nervous system.
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, in re-. storing
tone and regularity to the digestive appa~
ratus, and overcoming constipation, perma-
nently remedy the nervous complaints
which originate in alimentary weakness or
disturbances. They are the very best ner-
vine that can be used. By eradicating the
exciting eaese of nervous weakness, they
permanently overcome the disability itself.
But this is not all. By checking the NAL
aides which cause nervousness, they build
up anew the system weakened and depleted
by nervous disease. &H

cursory glance, like Charles Lamb on
one occasion, ''took them for girls"

states that certain knights and squires
accompanied st. Ursula, and managed
or mismanaged for her, and were mar
tyred with her; and in picture in this
very church appear with her several of
these male followers, as nice and proper
looking youths as any to be found now
adays in the Christian associations.
Many ghostly chroniclers avow that
there were such things in those DAYS as
''maiden knights" handsome and gal

and if So, why shouldn't their bones be
preserved in chapels and reliquaries. as
are the fossil remains of the ichthyo-

Earth Worms.

These insignificant and unattractive
creatures are of the greatest benefit to
the fields which they inhabit, though
many are supposed to the contrary.
They are humble but very efficient SER
wants of the agriculturisis; and far from
injuring his meadow or his garden, they
devote themselves with praiseworthy as
siduity to turning over the soil to
greater depth and more thoroughly
than can be done with the best appi-
ances known to science. These animals
(for SO they are classified by the natu-
ralists) are scarcely more than animated
tubes. They seem to live by taking
earth and earthly substances in at one
end and passing them out at the other.
This simple process of digestion is aid
ed, however, by mucous secretion; and
the worm has a habit, when he has filed
himself with earth, of ascending to the
surface, turning round and working
himself back again into the ground.
This operation unloads him; and the
process repeated by millions OF his fell
lows cannot but have very highly bene-
fetal effect upon the quality Of the
land. It if said by Mr.. Darwin that
these worms have been known to cover
whole fields to the depth of thirteen
inches in the course Of eight years. A
slow process, to be sure, but so are all
the processes of Nature. This, how
ever, is not all they do. They carry
their shafts and galleries to depth of
several feet, and cross and intersect in
all directions, loosening the soil, open
ing it to the air and water, and, in
snort, doingall they can to help vege-
tation, without preying upon it or in
juring it's roots in the slightest.

The San Francisco Joss House.

A correspondence the Boston Courier
gives an account Of his visit to the Chi.
cago Joss House in San Francisco. He
took us first to their Joss house sacred
temple, where a great service is held
twice year, and for whose maintenance
all the Cinnamon pay liberal tithes.
After passing througha dark, villainous
alley, our guide led us through wind
ing passage and up a fight Of stairs to
the Joss House. Cinnamon passed up
and down continually, to all CT whom
our guide addressed word. He then
threw the great doors back and we
found ourselves in hall, dimly lighted
by various small candles, placed in diff
ferent parts of the room, in front of
hideous idols. These lights are never
allowed to go out. On lofty pedestal
surrounded and covered by gorgeous
drapery sat the Gods of Fire, Air, and
Water; near by sat the Goddess of Com
merce, side by side with the Goddess
OF Prostitution, an evidence OF the light
in which the Chinese regard the latter.
The room was full of idols of oil sorts,
and in the dim light looked strangely
wierd to our European eyes.

And echo caught family the sound as it fell !;
On the confines Of earth twas permitted to

And the depths OF the ocean it's presence con-

It begins every hope, every wish it must bound;
With the husbandman tolls with the monarch

Without it the soldier, the sailor may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from

Thee Cleanliness OF Parii san Streets.

Among the many good points in the
civic administration of Paris, says Ma
than Appleton, in recent letter to the
Boston Globe, one that most strikes
the stranger with envy is the extraordi-
nary cleanliness of the streets, and he
is apt to speculate what the secret of it
can be. It was long time before I
knew it, when, one evening some years
ago, was leaning over the balcony of
the Washington club, talking with a re-
Gently arrived American, who, I found,
had been connected with the engineer
ing of the Croton water-works Of New
York. Speaking Of the cleanliness of
the Paris streets, he told me that it was
all owing to the abundant use of water
throughout the city, and then I remem-
bered what [ had never particularly
thought Of before, that, at I'LL hours of
the day, you will see running water in
the cutters from the hydrants, now in
some place, now in another, but Away
flowing somewhat. The loose dirt and
bulky garbage is heaped up and carted
off, generally early in the morning, and
then, during the day, men will be con-
tinually sweeping away at what remains
and accumulates, pushing it into the
cutters, where it is soon carried off by
the water into the immense sewers I'M
der ground, and so taken away below
the city into the Seine. Besides this a
great deal OF water is used in sprink-
ling the streets and sidewalks, which
keep them always fresh. The water is
brought, believe, from the river near
Marty, along great aqueduct, but in
quantities sufficient for this judicious
extravaganza. In speaking of New
York, my companion said that at that
time there was hardly enough for ordi-
nary HOUSEHOLD purposes, drinking,
bathing, cooking, washing, ETC., and
that little could be spared for cleaning
the city. It seems strange, indeed,
that our large cities, most of which, if
not on the ocean itself, are at least be-
side river, several of them between
two, or on the lakes, should be so dis
gracefully dirty and consequently IN
healthy in the hot season, when it GER
tainly could not be Herculean under
dertaking to have them plentifully sup
piled with water, and few things in our
civic management to be attended to and
put in order before this. AS it now is,
it often happens that the best washing
they get comes from one of our summer
showers i

The Farm and the City-Two Views.

The Farm and the City-Two Views.
An old farmhouse, with meadows wide.
And sweet with clover on each side:
A bright eyed boy, who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about.
And wishes his one thought all day;
''Oh! if I could but fly away
From this dull spot the world to see.
How happy. happy, happy,
How happy should be-
Amid the city's constant din
Aman who round the world has been.
Who, mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking all day long;
ooh! could only trace once more
The field-path to the farmhouse door,
The old green meadow could see,
How happy. happy, happy,
How happy should be!''
