A Huge Hole.

The Servian correspondent of the
London News says : found Hume and
Sandwich apparently extracting the con-
tents of mans head. The poor fellow
had been strurk in the forehead by a
shell splinter, which had smashed in all
the osseous substance, with the ex-
ception of. it appeared, single plate Of
bono. From the depth Of the wound,
from which the skin AMI flesh hing
down over the face, it seemed to me,
not being an expert, that, not to try to
speak scientifically, the interior OF the
head had been reached. But Sandwith
took out all the bone splinters, sewed
tho cash up and bandaged the head, in
the lively hope that the man would pull
through, What is passing strange is
that with this huge hole in his head he
walked or rode on horseback some four
miles back from the place where he was
wounded, and eonversed easily with
Villiers, who walked with him part OF
the way, and sat talking while Sandwich
was rummaging about inside his head
for pieces OF his skull. It could not be
said that he, at any rate, was at all SUI
fering from the "shock which is SO
nearly universal immediate sequence
OF gunshot wounds.

bare and his face looked weary and
worn with care. While sadly thinking
of business debt, old Morpheus slowly
round him crept, and before he knew il
he soundly slept; and sleeping, he
dreamed that he was dead from trouble
and toll his spirit had fed, and not even
q COW bell tolled for the peaceful rest Of
his cowhids sole. As he wandered
among the shades, that smoke and
scorch in lower hades, he shortly OBJ
served an iron door that creaking swung
on hinges ajar, but the entrance was
closed wi til o red. hot bar, and satan
himself stood peeping out, and watch

the passing printer spoke
"Come in, my dear, it shall cost you
nothing, and never fear; this il the

pay their subscription sums for though
in life they may escape, they will find
when they're dead it is too late I will

with broken glass and melted lead,

there's boiling water for them to drink;
there's the red-hot grindstone to grind

on his toes, and if they mention they
don like fire, I'll sew up their mouths
with red hot wire and then, dear sir,
you should SEQ them squirm, while I roll
them over and cook to turn"
With these last words the printer
awoks, al thought it all . practical
joke, but still at times so real did it
seem, that he cannot believe it was all
dream and often he thinks with
chuckle and grin, Of the fate Of those
who save their tin, and never pay the

Fine Place for Women.

An American, writing in Scssbnsr's OF
Turkistan. says the men have as many
wives Is they please. The women have
to do all the work, while the men lead q
lazy, shiftless life, devoting themselves
almost entirely to the care OF their
horses. As q mark Of respect to their
husbands and male relatives, the women
are not allowed to mention their real
names in the presence OF Others. but
adopted for the purpose, or use q cir
cumIocution. An incident is related OF
a Kirghix woman who wanted to say
that wolf had stolen sheep and taken
il to the reedy shore Of the lake: Un-
fortunately the men Of the family bore
names corresponding to most OF these
words, and she was obliged to gasp out:
"In the rustling beyond the vet
growler gnaws one OF our woohes.

House PAINTING

A practical authority on house paint
ing states that paint applied to the ex.
terror of buildings in autumn or winter
will endure twice as long as when ap'
piled in early summer or in hot weather.
In the former case it dries slowly and
becomes hard like glazed surface, not
easily affected afterward by the weather,
or worn off by the beating OF storms.
But in very hot weather the oil in the
paint soaks into the wood at once, as il
it were sponge, leaving the white lead
nearly diy and ready to crumble of.
This last difficulty, however, might in .
measure be guarded against, though at
an increased expense, by first going Over
the surface with raw oil. Furthermore,
by painting in cold weather the annoy
ance of small flies is escaped, the flies
invariably collecting on fresh paint dur
ing the warm weather.

Interesting Figures.

A German paper expresses uneasiness
at the decreasing population OF Prussia
proper. Between 1861 and 1864 there
was incrs aso of s. 400, but between 1854
and 1867 there was decrease of IL, 922,
and between 1857 and 1871 one of
Sc, 44O. Allowing for the loss of life in
the last two wars, and for the Prussian
soldiers quartered in France at the time
of the census, the loss of population in
ten years amounts to 81, 200. Not i'm
probably the new marriage law which
came into force two or three years ag
has had bearing on this. Hitherto a
boy might be married at sixteen and q
girl at fourteen, but now the marriage
able age is twenty for males and
eighteen for females. The decline
seems to be in the rural districts, for
the great cities have throughout Ger
MANY shown a remarkable increase. In
1867 Berlin had a population OF 702. A37.
and in 1873 $40, COO.

The idiot Boy.

II had pleased God to form "posr Ned
A thing of idiot mind,
Yet, to this poor, unreascL..s IAi,
God had not boon unkind.
"Old Sarah " loved her helpless child,
Whom helplessness made dear,
And he was everything to her.
Who knew no hope nor fear.
She knew his wants;
She understood each half articuiate call
And he was everything to her
And she to him was all.
Thus they loved for many year,
Nor knew wish beside
Till age, ct last ON Sarah came,
And she fell sick and died.
He tried in vain to waken her
He called her DER and DER;
They told him she was dead
The sound to him no import bore;
They laid her In the narrow house;
They sang the funeral stavs;
But when the funeral train dispersed,
He loitered by the grave.
Tho rabble boys that used to jeer,
wneneer they SAW "poor Nod"
Now stood and watched him by the grave,
Bat not word they said.
They came, they went, and came again,
Till night at last came on;
And still he loitered by the grave
Till every one VAS gone.
And when no found himself alone,
He quick removed the clay;
He raised tho coffin up in haste,
And bore 1t swift away.
And bore it to his mothers cot,
And placed it on the floor,
And, in his eagerness Of Joy,
He barred the cottage door.
He lifted out Ii mothers corss
And placed II in her chair,
And then he heaped the hearth,
And blew the fire with care.
He placed his mother in her chair
And in her wonted place;
Again he blew the fire which shone
Reflected on her face.
And pausing now her hand would feel,
Aud now her face behold:
Mother, why you look 80 pale9
Say, why are you 80 cold ?"
It had pleased God from this poor boy
His only hope to call;
But soon again welcome death
Restored to him his all.

What Will Be Done.

Olarkson N. Potter writes . lengthy
letter explaining what will be the course
of the Democratic party if Louisiana Il
counted for Hayes by the returning
board and he is declared elected. Mr..
P, states that the Democratic House will
be present in full force, and when the
Louisiana certificates are opened objee-
tions will be made to counting those
votes. II the two Houses disagree, the
representatives will adhere to their own
decision. At the end OF the count they
will decide that there has been no choice
by the electoral colleges, and proceed at
once to elect President.
