What 1 Have Seen.

Some one who has seen goodly share OF
the world tells some things he has seen:
l have seen young man sell good farm,
turn merchant, and die in an insane asylum.
l have seen farmer travel around so much
that there was nothing at home worth look
ing after.
/ have seen man spend more money iu
folly than would support his family in conf
fort and independence.
l have seen young girl marry young
man of dissolute habits and repent it as long
as she lived.
have seen a man depart from truth where
candor and veracity would have served him
to much better purpose.
l have seen the extravaganza and folly of
children bringing their parents to poverty
and want and themselves to disgrace.
have seen prudent and industrious wife
retrieve the fortunes of family when her
husband pulled at the other end of the rope.
have seen young man who despised the
counsels of the wise and advice of the good,
and his career ended in poverty and wretch
edness.

Standard Objects of Abuse.

There are now, and perhaps always will be
in this country, certain persons that come to
be recognized as free targets for the general
fusilade of public ridicule and abuse. In
studying this apparent necessity of an ad-
vanced stage of civilization, the Denver
Tribune detects wise provision of provi-
dence in the creation of remarkable personal
eccentricities and conceits and the engender-
ing of complicated frauds and chicanery
Among the most available material OF this
order are Boss Tweed, Boss Shepherd, Ben.
Butler, Matt Carpenter, General Babcock,
Zack Chandler, Childs, the obituary poet,
Walt Whitman, George Francis Train,
Joaquin Miller, ct. al. These unfortunate
persons serve useful purpose. They are,
as it were, safety valves for the fiery explosive
moral indignation and the effervescing wit of
the times. The Republican editor, in his
alarm at the political corruption, if he wishes
to avoid offensive and unsafe personalities,
finds safe relief for his feelings in a tilt at
Tweed or Tammany. And those with whom
moral and political reform has become an
organic affection-the Bowleses, the Reds,
the Danas, the Hals,eads and the Grosyenors
find instant relief from acute attacks in
outbursts of indignation against Shepherd,
Babcock, Butler or Chandler. Such out
bursts, in fact, act upon their constitutions
with all the soothing effects of a gorgeous
and artistic outbreak of profanity upon
government mule driver or an old plains bull
whacker, in the trying exigencies of their
calling, or of single emphatic oath upon the
feelings of an average man when left by the
street cars OF a stormy evening" And then
if the fiery explosive elements of moral re-
form that are pent up within these men, could
not find safe escape through the corrupt
contracts of Shepherd, the completely of
Babcock in whisky frauds, and the assumed
general cussedness of Butler and others, they
might in their explosion disrupt our entire
social and political system, and effect serious

Display at Weddings and Funerals.

In view of the artificial tendencies of So
ciety at the present time two classes of peo-
pie are proposing to do away with the high
tlourishes of weddings and funerals. Quaker
families talk of abolishing the fashion of
bridal presents, and Roman Catholics sug-
gest plain funerals, with only friends, few
carriages, and no ''style" For long time
custom has been so exacting in its demands
that the modest family purse has, in many
cases. been well nigh exhausted, after either
a marriage or a funeral. The abuse which
people in general have made of the privilege
of entering church to see a wedding will
probably in due time be the means of restor-
ing home marriages to favor Even in those
cases where cards of invitation are made re-
turnable to the usher at the door, there seems
to be something Objectionable and repelIant
in the air of business which accompanies
the arrangement, and it must be admitted
that although the sacred atmosphere of
church seems a suitable place for contract
ing such solemn obligations, yet other cir
cumstances being considered, it is more in
accordance with good taste that the ceremony
be performed at home Already the specta-
Gle of a wedding retinue dashing through the
streets at midday in full evening array is fast
losing favor as popular custom.

Church Rules.

The following ten rules are never to be OBJ
served at church:
I. Never open your pew door to a stranger
wanting a seat. He may haye designs on
your purse.
2. If the sexton brings stranger to your
door look daggers at him, and make him Just
as uncomfortable as you can.
g. Take out your watch several times dur
ing the sermon, and if it is a hunter case shut
it with smart snap. 1t may hurry the
preacher.
4. When you restore your bymn-boo to
the rack let it so down with bang; it enllv-
ems the service.
5. Wear the most stylish dress you have.
1t shows that you don't care for the propri-
eties.
6. Rush to the pew door on the instant of
the last amen You are glad its over.
Z. Stop in the aisle to salute your friends
and turn about if possible in the crowd. 1t
makes you conspicuous.
8. Tread on as many dresses of the ladies
as you can and make them look around.
0. In the door stand still and have chat
so as to hinder all behind you from getting
out.
10. Then light your cigar and go out

tFrom the Sacramento Union.]
A young and pretty woman who was a pas
senger on the train from the East yesterday
morning, had her attention attracted to some
pictorial papers which one of the newsboys
was vending at the depot, and inquired the
price. '"Ten cents apiece" Il would like
to have one, only haven't any change with
me- "Then you don't gets 'em, y classically
remarked the dealer in literature. The wo-
man hesitated moment and then intimated
that she would kiss the newsboy if he would
give her the paper. Kissing was goodies
that he had never hoped for under such cir
cumstances, and he intimated his willingness
to accept the proposal, scarcely thinking
she was in earnest; but kiss him she did,
right out on the platform, and then. possess
ing herself of paper, she entered the car,
leaving the newsboy blushing, grinning, and
yet looking worried, as if he felt streak of
electricity running up and down his back.

Mr.. Kerr's Early Life.
From the Erie Dispatch.1

Michael G. Kerr, Speaker of the House,
was born on farm near Ttusville, Pa,
and it is stated that it was on his fathers
farm that oil was first struck. In the year
1862 his father sold out for $4,000. Subse-
quently the discovery of oil was made, and in
1856 the same place sold for over quarter
of a million of dollars. MIR. Kerr received
his education at the old Erie Academy and
spent several years in this city. While STU
dent here he conceived a passion for a Miss
Coover, school Mistress Of this city, and
Immediately after his graduation, he being at
the time only about II years OF age, he mar
ried her, and soon after went west where he
stayed about two years, at the end of which
time he returned and claimed his bride. The
marriage had in the meantime been kept a
secret at his request, and his friends were
greatly astonished to learn that he was mar
ried, and that to lady several years his
senior. During his absence in the West his
wife fell out of window and received in
juries which marred the beauty of her face.
Notwithstanding the gloomy prophesies Of
his friends, the match turned out to be Il for

An Interesting Relic for the Centennial.

ray, of New York, recently presented to the
Commissioner of Patents claim of owner
ship of the original Benjamin Franklin print
ing press, which has for many years been in
possession of the Patent Office. After full
examination of the documentary evidence
submitted, it is found that Mr.. Murray's
claim is perfectly good, and the press will
now be held subject to his order. 1t appears
that Harold & Son, of London, England,
presented the press to Mr. Murray in 1871:
that he brought it to this country in 1912.
kept tim New York several years, and then
deposited it for safe-keepiug in the National
Institute in Washington city. When this in
stitution, soon afterwards ceased TO exist. the
press was removed to the model-room Of the
Patent Office, where it has since remained,
the question of title to it being never raised
until very recently. 1t is Mr.. Murray's in-
tentioil to have this interesting relic of the
first great American printer exhibited at the
Centennial along side of Hoe lightning cyl

Secret Of Il Gamblers Success.

John NJ. Cozad, now retired from The
| sporting arena, says the Courae1cio}, Was one
OF the most successful of Cincinnati gam
blers in his time, and strange to say his sue
| cess was not in backing or dealing games
| but in playing against them. For several
| years after he became a full-fedged faro
| player he was the terror of all the games he
played against almost uniformly winning
largely every play he made. His success con-
tlnulng to the utter decentralization Of the
| men he played against, it was finally con-
cluded by all the dealers that he was either
possessed of some secret charm from the Al
mighty or in league with the devil, and he
was barred off altogether-that is none of
them would allow him to play against their
game. Now the fact is that CoZaru was
neitht protected from on high Or from be-
low, lor was lie able to exercise any charm
of n gic over the checks he pitted his own
agairg i. But he was gifted with a singular
keen ye and a remarkably retentiye men,
ory. By the aid of the former he was able
to dIect any peculiarly in the scroll work
or ft 'yering on the backs Of the cards as the
dealer shutt1ed them, and by the latter was
capat of so arranging such peculiarites in
his mind as to have perfect knowledge of
OF their faces on seeing their backs. This
was his great and only ''percentage' against
faro banks. 1t is said by gamblers that no
two cards in square deck Of fifty-two are
exactly alike, and Cozard SO watched the
cards and memorized their peculiarities that,
in two deals he was bound to know twelve or
fourteen of them. This knowledge, of course
gave him big pull against the turn of the
last three cards in the box, and he would keep
the run of the known cards through the deal,
and if he caught any Of them in the last turn
would ''call the turn sure, and win hundreds
of dollors. The only way the gamblers had
to stand him off on the remarkable faculties
he possessed was to change cards every deal,
and, when that was done, Cozad stood them
off by not playing at all. He has not been
identified with the gambling fraternity for
some years now, having taken to real estate
specu'ations as a better investment than faro
or poker. The money he won against faro
be invested with shrewdness that marks
him as the same close calculator he was when
playing ''the bank, and to-day, besides own
ing large amount of valuable city property,
