HONESTY Is THE BEST PoLICY.-One
day about three week ago strange Gus
toner came to Gratiot avenue grocer
He wanted some goods, and he paid cash
down. The next day he made another
purchase ard paid cash, and as the days
went by his face and his cash became
familiar. One day he returned with the
change given him and said
81 believe | am an honest man. You
paid me twenty cents too much'
The grocer received it and was pleased.
Two days after that the stranger returned
from the curbstone to say:
'Another mistake on your part; you
overpaid me by forty cents"
The grocer was glad TO have found an
honest man, and puzzled to know how he
should have counted SO far out of the way.
Three days more, and the stranger picked
up dollar bill in the store and said
"This is not my dollar. l found it on the
floor and you must take charge of it'
The grocer's heart melted. and he won
dered if the world was not progressing
backward to old-time honesty. A skip OF
one day, and then the honest man brought
down a wheelbarrow, ordered eighteen
dollars worth of groceries, and would
have paid cash had he not forgotten his
wallet. He would hand it in at noon as he
went past, he said, and it was all right
with the grocer.
That was the last of the honest man
morning fades to noon, and noon melts
away in darkness, but he cometh not.
There are no more mistakes in change-no
more dollar bills on The floor-and the gro

THRICE MARRIED AND THRICE d.
voRCED.-A Galesburg Qll.) correspondent
OF the Chicago Tunes, writing under date
of Oct 22d, says that remarkable case
in which the same parties have been three
times married and three times divorced.
occupied the court on yesterday. The
complainant, Helen NJ. Baker, is 90 wears
of age, fine-looking, and the daughter of
the late DIR. Spaulding. The defendant.
Marion Teralbia Baker, is 30, and con-
nected with the best families in this city
The young couple were first married in
Knoxville, H., November Is, 1865, and
supported on both sides by wealthy and in-
iuential friends, their prospects of happi-
ness made them the envy of all. However,
in April, 1866, only six months after mar
riage, Helen filed a bill against Teralbia
asking for divorce on the grounds of ex-
treme cruelty. Divorce was granted the
June following, and Helen rejoiced in her
maiden name for few months only when
on January 8, 1867, she and Teralbia met
By chance in Chicago, repented with tears
and were married the second time, and took
up their residence in Galesburg. A daugh-
ter was born in March, 1868. On the second
day of December 1872, Mrs. Baker again
filed a bill for divorce on grounds of deser-
tion, asking for the custody of her child.
The decree was granted in February, 1873,
according to the prayer of the bill. On the
Sd day of December following the same
parties were again married, as the com
plainont states, she hoping to spend the
remainder Of her days with the defendant.
The couple received congratulations and
presents from friends, who trusted they
would be able to keep all their good inten.
tions. August A, 1876, Mrs. Baker again
for third time filed bill for divorce on
grounds of desertion and cruelty. The
decree was granted yesterday, and the
custody of the daughter, some seven years
| old, was given to the mother.

A SINGING MoUsE.-A lady residing in
West Pittston, whose name we purposely
withhold, while performing un.her piano a
few weeks ago, heard what appeared to be
the voice of a bird chirping merrily, and
seemingly endeavoring to accompany the
notes of the instrument. When she stop
ped playing, the mysterious accom- mpaniest
also stopped. The sounds appeared to
come from between the walls behind the
piano. On the second day after the dis
covery, the same thing occurred again, and
.he lady became very curious TO know the
cause of it. She made search every where
but could not see where, by any possibility,
a Sird-for she thought it was a bird
could have imprisoned itself in the wall
On the third day she went TO the piano
several times, and as often as She played,
the mnscal notes of the mysterious min
strel kept time and unison with what she
performed. Two weeks passed, aud one
day while at the instrument, as usual, her
eye was suddenly attracted by the appear
ance of mouse sitting on ono end of the
piano. The lady also observed that her
little visitor was making a noise, and while
she listened she discovered that the mouse
was actually singing. All was now ex-
planned.
She played different tunes, and the
mouse changed as frequently. When she
finished the mouse withdrew suddenly and
eutered a small hole i'm one corner of the
apartment. The lady now determined
upon securing the mouse, and had pretty
hard work to do SO, but eventually sue
ceeded. The mouse is now i'm her posses
sion and is quite:ltame. 1t sings almost
like a canary, and what is more, actually
carries the airs of the pieces performed by
it's mistress upon the piano. -LueerRe

THE MAIDEN VOTE.-There will 90 to
the ballot boxes on the 7th of November a
great body of young men who will cast their
maiden votes. 1t is a generation of voters
who have reached maturity ten years after
the civil war. When in 1861 the shot fired
at Sumter was the signal for the mastering
of the hostile forces, these now first voters
were but years old, and when the contest
ended they were only 10 years old. There
fore. the remembrance of the events, which
to us who passed through that period long
after our boards were grown, b fresh aud
clear, to them is misty and almost a thing
of written history only. They have learned
at school Of the victories and defeats which
alternately cheered and depressed us, and
the war is to them simply childish mem
ory of armed men marching away with
banners and with music. They lost tho
education of that great conflict. which is
one of the treasures of those who lived
through it and shared in it as grown men.
But perhaps better than we, they can con
template it in perspective, and view the
war with no other than the prejudices
which the opinions of their elders may have
created in them.
These fresh voters can decide this elec-
tion. It becomes them, therefore, to
thougbtfully consider how they shall cast
their ballots, and to earnestly and studious-
ly inform themselves as to the issues OF
the campaign. They will find many of the
current discussions valuable as mental as
well as general political training. If they
study these carefully We have li.tle feat
that their votes will be given on the wrong
side. Let them take heed to 80 cast their
ballots as to assist us in preserving the Re
public, that when we shall have passed
away they may receive intact tha. inherit
ance which selfish partisan zeal would i'm.
pair or destroy, and which corruption and
prodigality have already imperilled. We
commend these thoughts to all those young
men who, on the 7:h of this month, viii
cast their first ballots. a most important
event in their lives.-N. ?. Sun.
