Why he Never Smiles.

There is in Boston one most amusing low comedian who has reason for never smiling. In his youth he was the father of little girl of refractory, obstinate disposition. One day, to punish her for something, he locked her in the bed room, and with his wife went down stairs to dinner. Soon the child began to scream in 8 terrible manner, which the parents considered was only temper :; but as the shrieks continued the wife be- came alarmed and desired to go to her. He, however, forbade her doing so, as he said the child must be taught obedience, and that she should not gain her end by screaming. They went on with their dinner, the fearful shrieks continuing for awhile and then ceasing. As they were about leaving the table, smoke began to pass through the house. There was fire somewhere. Rushing to release the poor little girl, they found her dead. Her clothes caught fire from the grate, and while the parents were eating the child was dying. The comedian's wife took horror and hatred of her husband after this, as she believed that if he had allowed her to go to the poor infant she might have saved her life. They were divorced no won der that man never smiles off the stage.

The remainder, 66, 1O1, were foreigners, nearly half Germans, and the rest comprising al most all nationalities. The population was estimated by the registrar in the middle of 1874 at 3, 4o0oO0. hepostal district covers an area of ~-250 square miles. The metropolitan police district comprises many towns, villages and par ishes, formerly independent, and still often spoken of as such, and extends over the whole of Middlesex Exclusively of London city, which has itsown police), and the surrounding parishes ill the counties of Surrey, Kent, Essex and Hertford of which any part is within twelve miles of Charing Cross and not over fifteen miles, embracing an area of 687 square miles, and population in 1871 of 3, sos, ,360, or, including the city police district, 3,883, ,O92, being one eighth of the whole, population of the United Kingdom, and 500, 900 more than all Scotland.

The Holidays.

Holidays sometimes give great deal of trouble to people who have notes to pav. Where, for instance, a note was due Dec. 26, it had to be paid two days beforehand, and the same anticipation of payment had to be made as to notes due Jan. 2. This inconvenience will be repeated next winter, when Christmas and New Years day falls upon Mondays. The cir umstance of these holidays fall ing on Saturdays in one winter and on Mondays the next, can only occur at long intervals the last instance of the sort being the winters of 1S47-8 and 1S48-9, the next, 1915-6 and 1916-7. The fact that 1900, though divisible by four, is not 8 leap year, makes the coming interval before sucha occurrence longer than the previous one. But the practice of celebrating 8 holiday the next day if it falls on Sunday, adds largely to the f, equency of years that present such inconvenience to note payers. These years occur in groups of two and three.
 For this half century they may be enu-
 merated as to Christmas as follows: 1852, '53 and '54; 1858 and '59; 1864 and '65; 1869, TO and Fl; 1875 and '76; 1880, '81 and '82; 1886 and '87; 1892 and '93: 1897, '98 and '99. To apply this list to New Years day, of course one
 year later must be taken throughout. To most people, however, Sunday and holiday coming together gives vel come chance for mingling rest and rec reation; and it is pleasant to know that this can be reckoned on as to Christmas, New Year's day, or fourth of July, sep
 arately, in three years out of every

,. Their Methods.

An amusing description of the method adopted by French singing masters was recently given by writer in the Paris Figaro: Take NJ. Delsarte, for example, who lives Gu siGienae at Montmarter. When young man goes to this profess sor, something like the following scene takes place .. -Ez ,~
 "Yes."
 1T warn you my method is severe. But we will try it. Run down my six flights of stairs as quickly as possible, and then run up again, crying out 'Bonifaccie in varying tones. Do that for eight days, an hour and half each day. Then we shall see about begin ming lessons. ''
 The famous M. .Wartel is less severe, though equally original. He asks a candidate to vocalize with closed mouth, and if a protest be entered against the possibility of such 8 thing, exclaims : ss So much the worse. You must do it, if am to be your professor. C s<b
 But well known tenor employs a stranger method still. A young lady goes to him, for example, and is met by an order to stretch herself at full length upon a couch. She remonstrates, but finally obeys, and then the master piles upon her heap of books, surmounting the whole with a glass filed with water. Now sing" he commands.
 "Sing, sir l" exclaims the victim.
 "Yes, my child in singing you must respire as little as possible. When you sing thus, so as not to spill the water, will undertake your training-not be. fore."

How he EScaDed.

Two woodchoppers in Neosho, Kan sas, could not agree as to whether one owed the other fifty cents, and the end of the altercation was the murder of the alleged creditor of the alleged debtor. Bill Gideon, the murderer, mounted a mule that he found hitched by the will tlage store, and rode away. MT. Short, the owner of the mule, got on horse and overlook the fugitive in lonely place. "Now," said Gideon, drawing 8 revolver and aiming at his unarmed an tagonist, ssyeu've got to ride with me all day. If I let you go you'll alarm the country, and I don't want to kill you. Come along, and if you attempt to speak to anybody we meet, I'll blow your brains out" Short dared not dis obey and they rode along together. Gideon told whoever they met that they were searching for stray cattle. They kept on for thirty six hours, and at the end of that time, Short, having no saddle, was exhausted. Gideon then quit him, leaving the mule, and com pleting his escape on fcot.

Still Another Suit.

Frank Moulton has instituted, through his counsel, Gen. Roger A. Pryor, civil suit in the supreme court, Brooklyn, N. Y., for $50, ,O0O damages, against Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. The papers were served on MT. Beecher personally at his residence. The complaint sets forth the cause of action as malicious prosecution of MT. Moulton by MT. Beecher, the specification being that on October 3, 1874, he procured Mir. Moulton's indict- ment on 8 charge of criminal libel, and pressed the suit so far as to have him ar tested and held to bail. Further, the specification shows that on October P, 1875, MT. Britton, being then district attorney, entered 8 saolle prosequt, ton.
 Only 8 single question will be at issue in the coming suit. This will be the truth or falsity of MT. Moulton's allega- tion that Mir. Beecher had committed adultery with Mrs. Hilton. For the de- termination of this question Mrs. Hilton will be vital witness, and will certainly be called, as well as 8 number of others whose testimony was excluded on the great trial. On the other hand, the question of MT. Tilton's character not being in any way at issue, the testimony of large number of the witnesses pro- duced at the Tilton-Beecher trial will not be competent. The trial will there fore be a brief one, and it is anticipated that it will not occupy over two weeks time.
 The case coming on in the supreme court in Brooklyn, it will be tried by either Judge Barnard, Judge Gilbert or Judge Pratt, they being the judges of that court. Itwould have been brought in 8 court in New York city, but for the fact that the courts here are so full of business that it would probably be two years before the case would be reached on the calendar, whereas it will now probably come to trial within two months, or at all events by the early part of March.-NesO York Tunes.

A Soldiers Claim.

The Hartford C0ura,et gives some account of Dorrence Atwater, American
 consul for the Society islands, who re- gently married the Princess Moelia, 8 wealthy native lady. It says Dorrence is Connecticut boy, who enlisted from Plymouth when quite young in the first squadron of Connecticut calvary. He was taken prisoner, aud confined for 8 long time at Andersonville. He was an excellent penman, and was detailed to assist ill keeping the records and ac- counts. While on this duty he managed to keep record of all the deaths at that camp, and when he was finally ex.
 changed he brought his record away with him concealed upon his person. It contained some twelve thousand names, and gave the first reliable information to many mourning families throughout the North of the final fate of friends who had been captured. Atwater was called to Washington with his rolls, where they were copied, and afterward the officials refused to return them to him. He managed to obtain them, and some officials there trumped up charges against him for removing his own docu- rnents from the department, and he was pnjustly imprisoned for time. Miss Clara Barton, the soldiers friend, es, poused his cause, and after long effort Succeeded in getting partial justice done to Atwater. He came home from An dersonville mere shadow, and, broken in health, was made, through misrepre. sentations and prosecutions, to suffer an unjust punishment imposed by the gov
 srnment he had so faithfully served. Numerously signed petitions for redress were sorwarded to Washington from this State, following a meeting held in this city which was addressed by Clara Bar
 ton, and at which MT. Atwater was present. He was finally appointed consul at the Seychelles islands in tht Indiansocean, and afterwards at Tahiti
 in the Society islands. SEs

" Throw Physic to the Dogs; I'll None
 Of if s

We do not in the least feel like blaming Macbeth for this expression of disgust; in deed we are rather inclined to sympathize with him. Even nowada' most of the cathar- tics offered to the public are great, repulsive- looking pills, the very appearance of which is sufficient to "turn one's stomach" Had Mao beth ever taken Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purga- tive Pellets he would not have uttered those words of contempt. It is really encouraging, when one is ill, to find that little, sugar coated pellet, no larger than & grain of mus tard, will as promptly produce the desired effect as dose of great, nauseating pills. These little pellets, unlike other oathartics, are really natures physic. They do not debili- tate, but tone and invigorate the system No family should be without Dr. Pierces Pleasant Purgative Pellets.
