An Editors Affecting Note
Of Gratitude.

A Philadelphia editor thus relieves his
mind on subject familiar to all news,
paper offices. the pub. doc:
I'VE owe our thanks to Judge Kelley
for the latest patent office reports. We
already have sixteen hundred of these in.
tercstlng volumes in our little library, but
they haye been read and re-read so many
times that we know every page of them
by heart. This new volume came oppor-
tunely and gratefully o.. Christmas morn
ing, and that night We grathered our lit
tic family around the fire and read it
through to them. The affecting tale cnti-
tied Improvement in Monkey Wrenches,
seemed to touch every heart, and when
we came to the climax of tile little story
about Reversible Pleboards,' there was
cot dry eye between the front door and
the stable. During the reading of the
pitcOus narrative entitled Cum Wash for
Carriage Axcs,' the whole family gave
expression to boistero,IS emotion. and the
hired girl WAS so excited that she lost
her presence of mind, ard went around to
her mothers Inadvertently with six
pounds of sugar and a butter kettle full
OF flour, aud came home at night intoxi-
Gated. We can never sufficiently thank
Judge Kelley for the innocent enjoyment
thus furnished US. TIE memory OF tha.
happy evening will lingcr III our minds
very much longer than the hired girl ever
fingers when she lights on a lot of sab
stance which she thinks will suit the
constitution Of her aged parent.

Campbell and his dhlef Of staff ex-

a Kentucky esirl Series Out
A Sianderer.

We are informed that pitched battle
was fought in the Sunday school at Holt's
School-housc on the Lovelact Ollie road. i.
about fifteen and a half miles from Pa
ducah, on Sunday last, which for time
created considerable commotion. and
resulted in the severe injury of . young
man known as "Stsp-John RUDOLPH y
by yonng lady named Miss Melissa Col
lier. 1t appears that Rudolph is very
long -tongued individual, and that lie had
-landerei Miss Collier, who is considered
a young lady of excellent standing in that
community. Learning that he was at the
Sunday school above mentioned, and be-
ing exasperated beyond measure, she arm
ed herself with hickory club and entered
the honse crying. The superintendent was
just about TO begin reading q chapter il,
the Bible when he was interrupted by the
exclamation: ''Where Is the scoundrel?''
The whole school looked mp in utter
amazemement. and discovered the lady
making Cward the corner where Rudolph
was oO"tSNS WV" SeOopCA 0tIOh Al uCl SytS.
Swinging her club as she approached
Rudolph, she was heard to say: .Oh,
here he isl" and whack went the shllla-
'ah upon his head, giving him glanc.
ing blow, but OF sufficient force to knock
hm over On the bench. Being in cor
ner, he could not get out handily, and
Miss C. seized tho club with both hands
and gave him terrible beating over the
head, body and his arms, which he held
forward for protection. The superlnten.
dent endeavored to hold tie young lady
to prevent her from killing Rudolph, but
he could do nothing with her, and NOT
til further assistance came could she be
taken away from the object of her hatred.
Rudolph's arm was very badly hurt. He
employed Goyernor King to assist Mr..
Samuel Bryce, Coun;y-attorney. in pros
ecuting the case, and the trial came off
before Squire Emmett Rudolph, result
ing in fine of one cent and costs against
the young lady. Step7John Rudolph was
fined $5.-Paducah Ky News.

Unparalleled Suicide.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, June II 8.

LAFAYETTE. Ind, June II.
James A. Moore, aged about 35, living
on farm near the farmers Institute
about 10 miles south of this city, commit
ted suicide at the Lahr House in this city
last night. He leaves a wife and three
children. The manner in which it was
accomplished is perhaps unparalleled in
horrid ingenuity. lie came to the Lahl
House Saturday, said he was perfecting
an invention, and would probably stay q
week, but would visit his home Monday,
and prepaid his bill till that time. He
called at the machine shop of Harding &
Sons, had new large broad ak and two
bars of three inch wide by one inch thick
iron, sixteen inches long, which he had
riveted to the head of the Ak. On either
side fastened, to these bars in the shape of
a handle 70 an ak, he had a system OF
wooden bars eight feet long, the extreme
end of which was fastened to s cross.piccc
secured to the floor by hinges. The AK
was raised and held to its nearly pefpen.
dlcular position by double cord. fastened
to the wall. Between the cords stood a
candle, arranged so that when the candle
burned down to the cords it would burn
them off, and the AK fall. Where the AK
would strike he placed a small box, open
on one side, in which when found, wa.
his head with some cotton, which ha(
been chloroformed. His chin was held W
from his neck by stick run across th'
box run through holes on either side
holding his head firmly IN position. II,
was strapped tightly to the floor with tw.
etraps, one around his legs, another abou
his arms and breast. The straps were boil
screwed to the floor, put his head in th
box with the chloroformed cotton. an,
was probably insensible when the ak fell
The ak fixings iwould weigh about 81
pounds, and would fall a distance Of iron
ito to IS feet. His head was completed,
severed from his body, and the Ak burie

Little MiSerieS.

Life would be miserable if men and wo.
men had no grievances. tits highly prob
able, indeed, that large humber. if they
could find nothing to grumble at, would
die Of simple ennn. It is positive enjoy
ment t. many people to have good
growl; they take intense delight in per
suading themselves and those by whom
they are surrounde !, that they are martyr,
on a small scale. They do not act thus
always with the mere intention of invok
ing pity on their behalf. They are actu-
ated by somewhat vague feeling of dis
content. They feel that somehow or other
things are not exactly as they ought to be.
They may have plenty to eat and drink;
they may have good clothes on their
backs, and sufficient money to provide
them with all hcal,hful luxuries, they may
have friends who love them, and COM
Portable homes, and yet they feel dissatis
fed and seize an opportunity of making
their dissatisfaction felt They may be
good hearted people in the main; they
may give money to feed the hungry and
clothc the naked; their eyes may water at
the sight of suffering, and yet, unaccount-
able as it may appear, they will take posi-
tive pleasure in making those with whom
their daily lives are spent temporarily un-
happy.
Humgn nature is made up of such pal.
IL pable there is so much of
instructive bad mixed up with SO much m
.stinctive good in every one of us-that
there is no reason to be surprised at this.
Such being the constitution of many
mems minds, it will readily be conceived
that even such people are exceptionally
prosperous they make point of positive
ly gloating over their trivial trials, making
out. indeed. that they haye as large q
share Of bi.ters of life as any of their tel
lows. Indeed, we may go a step furthe
and say that those who have most trials
talk Least about them. Those whose lives
are one continued struggle to keep the
wolf from the door, have, IN fact. little
time for grumbllng. They have gener-
ally to be content with things as they are

The Ocean Depths.

Until a few years past, nothing had
been ascertained with certainty concern.
ing the character of the ocean depths. 1t
was the popular idea that they were
wholly incapable Of sustaining animal
life. Men conceived of them as desc
late waste, shrouded in eternal darkness
and subjected 10 such stupendous pres
sure as to make life OF any kind impossi
bic. Even men of science shared in the
prevalent ilea. They were unwilling to
accept the instar ces Of animals, compare
lively high in the scale of life, that were
reported to have been brought up on
sounding lines from great depths. The
great ocean slumbered beneath the moon,
covering a region apparently inaccessible
to human research and experiment. DR.
Carpenter and MS colleagues, however
found that 1t was possible to work with
as much certainty, it not as much ease, al

operations were carried to the depth Of
nearly three statute miles with perfect
success. The bed of the ocean, compris

in which serve up the father, directly ON

last week by being struck on

water on each other, in jest. and that
one of them. who had been copiously
sprinkled by the Chinaman, threw e
stone at him, with such force as to
break his cheek bone.
