ALTHOUGH SO tar away from home and in
land where il IS said no comforts or pleas
ures can be had, the time here passes quite
pleasantly, and in fact the season may be
said to be quite gay. While with our
weekly sociables at the Washington house,
picnics, euclre parties, etc., time flies quite
swiftly. The last sociable was given last
Friday evening, and was quite well attend
ed, all of the ladies being present except
two. Music was provided for those who
wished to dance, and merry and social
time was enjoyed by ALL In fact, those
who have been here the longest say that it
was never a. gay as at present, neither
were there ever 30 many ladies here as
now, and of course they are great acoui-
sition to sOciabes, picnics, etc., as without
their attendance one of those affairs would
be very much like the bread we get for
breakfast, sometimes rather stale.
SABBATH SCHOOL CONCERT.
Last Sabbath evening l had the privilege
of attending Sabbath school concert in
which all the participants were colored
children. The exercises were unusually
interesting and the church was well filled,
nearly the entire foreign population being
present. Mrs. M. A. Bourne had given
the children three or four lessons in singing
and the good arising from them was quick.

A San Francisco Maiden Who Was
Bound to Have the Man She Wanted.

Several days ago a beautiful young
lady arrived at the Lindell Hotel in st.
Louis. Registering herself as Miss Ida
Hermance, San Francisco, she engaged
the handsomest parlor in the hotel at
$50 per day, together with the bridal
chamber, circumstance which created
quite aseRsation among that large class
of people who take an interest in lonely
women. She was magnificently dressed,
and wore upon her person several thou
sand dollars worth of diamonds, and
she dispensed her funds among the
walters of the hotel as if she were a
princess. Saturday she published an
advertisement in the daily papers di-
rected E. G. CriDpen, stating that lady
at the Lindell Hotel desired to see him.
Crippen heard of the advertisement to-
day, went to the hotel, and found in the
lady an old sweetheart he had known
for many years. The meeting resulted
in a hasty marriage, which took place
at DIR. Schuyler's church this evening.
Crippin is well known in Cincinnati and
Chicago as a seller of safes. The young
lady is said to be the only daughter of a
millionaire widow of California. She
ran away from her mamma about two
weeks ago to Crippin. The romantic
episode has created quite a sensation
here.

A Western Wonder.

The employees of the City Engineers
Department have received from Cali
fOrnia q golden-horned toad. 1t was
sent in an air-tight box much smaller
than it would seem to require. 1t was
packed away with apparently little care,
but upon being freed from its prison
was found to be alive and in apparent
enjoyment of all its faculties. 1t is a
very curious-looking thing, being of a
bronze color and possessing a short
caudal appendage with projections re-
sembling, in miniature, the rough scales
of dragon. 1t is very flat and has two
small projections on the head which
answer for horns. 1t is very quiet, and
one would not think it was living. 1t
will permit itself to be handled and will
not move when conscious of being look
ed at. When it thinks itself unobserved
it will start off with rapidity. 1t viii
incline its head as if composing itself to
sleep when gently pressed, and will
quickly recover itself when placed up
on its back, but, beside these exhibitions
of vitality and slight movement of its
caudal appendage at times, it remains
as still as a stone. Its quarters are in
a small box, and it eats but ittle.-Nel0

An Honest BOOtblack's Reward.

The Chicago TTi6af1e'S New York
correspondent says: One OF the passen-
gers bound to Europe on the steamer
Queen, which left this port last Satur-
day, was a young man named James
Shirley, whose sudden rise in fortune is
quite an interesting story. Shirley was
recently bOot-black, and had his stand
near St. Paul's Church. One day about
a month ago he BACKED the boots Of
Mr.. Frank Darlington, of No. 45 East
Tenth Street. This gentleman by mis-
take handed the boy a $40 gold piece
instead of a silver half-dollar, and told
him to keep the change. The boy was
so dazed by gift that before he could
recover from his astonishment Mr.. Car
rington had left. He searched for him
in vain, and that night gave the money
into the hands of the Superintendent of
the Newsboys' Lodging Home, desiring
him to advertise for the party and re-
turn it to him. The next day Mr.. Car
rington was discovered, and the gold
coin restored to him. He was so pleas
ed by the occurrence that he instituted
inquiries regarding the boys assOcia-
tions and honesty, and was sOimpressed
by his worthiness that he determined to
adopt him. The boy was only too will
ing to accept the offer, and after a few
weeks schooling he was called upon to
accompany his benefactor upon a trip
to Europe. On Saturday he distributed
a pocket full of nickels to his old boot
black friends, and bade them gOOd-by.
The boys gave him three cheers, and
few passengers for Europe have depart
ed with more affectionate GOd-speeds
than the young man whose honesty has
led him into the path of fortune.

Now Much is a Horse Power !

The New York Herald thus describes
a horse power: This question is fire.
quently asked: What is understood by
a horse power, and why came that way
of reckoning to be adopted and brought
into general use? Before the power OF
steam was generally known and applied
to mechanical purposes, horses were
used to raise coal and other heavy
bodies. Mr.. Moots, in his experiments,
carefully compared the relative power
of the different breeds of horses, and
found its average equal 20 raising 33,
900 pounds one foot per minute, or what
is equivalent, to raise $50 pounds 100
feet, or 100 pounds $50 feet during that
space of time, when attached to level
or sweep of a given length. This after
ward became the standard of measur-
ing power or force applied to mechani-
cal purposes, and whichis still lretained
in common use.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press and TTt6-
u,ze relates that the IRdians of that city
have some mode of communication as
difficult of explanation as the grape vine
telegraph by which the negroes OF the
South heard the news in advance OF ey-
cry body else. On Wednesday, at md
night, we had the first news OF Custer 5
defeat, but we are informed on the best
authority that during that day several
Indians, loafng about for stores In this
city, made anxious inquiries if such
news had been received, and voluntari-
ly stated the substance Of what came
fifteen hours later by telegraph. Soon
after the Indians made themselves
scarce, fearing that excited public SEN
timent would make of them an expiatoTy
sacrifice for the Custer disaster.

First-flOOr Bedrooms.

If we had house with a bedroom on
the first floor, we would at once abolish
the use of that room as a sleeping apart
ment, because we are satisfied that it is
wrong custom, it being much healthier
to sleep upstairs. Many family OF
which the members were suffering and
weak in general, have been restored to
vigorous and healthy condition by fol-
lowing our advice, which was to remove
their bedrooms up stairs, to have their
beds, summer and winter, exposed the
whole day to the fresh air from open
windows Except of course when there
is rain or mist, and also to have during
the whole night one window partially
open, even in winter, so as always to in
hale the fresh, cool air from the out
side, but using at the same time the
precaution to have sufficient bed cover

canal bank with her baby, when anoth-
er went up to her, and after some pre-
liminary ''words" took the baby from
her, and flung it down. Then she seiz-
ed the mother by the hair, at which she
tore like a tigress, and having thrown
her on the ground kicked her in the
most merciless fashion about the head,
face, and breast with her iron-mOunted
clogs. At length some men interfered,
otherwise the infuriated creature might
have kicked her victim to death. The
assailant was yesterday taken before
the magistrates, when to her fellow
boatwomen she appeared in heroic light,
some of them saying the fight was q
perfectly fair and challenged one, which
should have taken place in a field, as
there were bets on the result. The
magistrates did not view the matter so
pleasantly, and sent the victor to Jail
for a month with hard labor.

Low Life on English Canals.

The Liverpool Courier of June p
SAYS: A case of violence investigated
in the Preston Police Court yesterday
shows that Mr.. Coalville Smiths pic
lures of life on the canal-boats have not
been overdrawn, and that very low
state of civilization prevails, the boaters
and their women being little removed
above savages against whose customs
we send corps of missionaries. OF
course all the boaters are not alike.
There are numbers who have some re-
gard for the common decencies of life.
Among the toilers over the canals there
are many God-fearing men, who live
sober and honest lives, and to the best
of their power bring up their children
in the way they should go, not
on the barges, but in dwellings
ashore. But the exemplary, after all,
form but small proportion of the peo-
pie engaged in this inland navigation.
The great bulk of the boaters and their
''women"-they don't often call them
wives-and their families pig together
in the wretched holes called cabins, and
spend in drink the money which might
render present life more comfortable
and future prospects much brighter.
Men, women, and even children drink
to excess, use the most blasphemOus
and obscene language, without the re-
motest idea that they thereby do wrong,
and when they fight, which is often, il
is after the manner of wild beasts who
do not care how much they disfigure
or hurt each other. The case heard
yesterday at Preston gives some
notion of the low morality o.
the women on the canals. Ac
cording to the statements made il
court one boatwoman was seated on tht

Killed His Wife.

On last Tuesday morning Mr.. Henry
L. Boaz, who lives on the Wallonia
Road, near the Trigg County line, acci-
dentally killed his wife, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Mr.. Boaz was
expecting the wheat thresher at his
house Tuesday, and spoke to his wife
about it. She told him to shoot some
chickens for her before he went out in
the field. He reached for his rifle, laid
it across his arm, was examining it to
see if it was loaded, etc., when in some
way or other the cock slipped from his
finger, the rifle fired, and the ball en-
tered the back of Mrs. Boaz's head and
killed her instantly. She died without
a word or a struggle. Princeton (hy)
