OF the thousands who pay periodical
visits to doctors, and run up yearly bills,
few appreciate the fact that they could
avoid all this expense and trouble by
taking every day little gymnastic ex-
ercise. 1t is not necessary to devote
much time daily to this species of exer-
tion. One hour day, adhered to per-
tinaciously, as habit of life, will ac-
complish wonders. The majority of
people are nothing more than grown up
children when they begin to undertake
acourse Of athletics. Not one in fifty
has the sense to begin properly. Most
OF them plunge into it,apparently think
ing that if a little exercise is good
thing excessive exercise is great deal
better, forgetting that violent and long
continued exertion is possibility that
has to be steadily and patiently ap-
preached. Hence the disgust of those
who make blind rush at the thing.
The muscles, not used to this unwonted
demand, get extremely sore, and the
embryo athlete drags himself home te
his easy chair vowing that nothing shal
ever tempt him again to seek healtl
through such a dolorous pathway.

TELEGRAPH1Ne is cheaper in Switzer-
land than in any other country. Being
part of the postal system, the tele-
graph is as common as the post office.
There is not village, however small,
or wherever situated, even in the
highest regions CT the Alps, that has
not government telegraph working
night and day. The charge for a
message to any part of Switzerland is
only ten cents.

HOWARD has seen the Indian sum-
mer, but he hasn't seen an Indian fall.
He arrived at Bear Paw, however, just
in time to see Joseph and his band fall
into the arms of Miles. Howard knelt
and prayed that Miles might be merci-
full to the poor redskin, and as Miles
and his captives rode away, Howard
was still on his knees in the binding
snow storm, invoking blessings upon
Joseph's head for keeping out of his

NOT only is Gen. Harlan, of Ken
lucky, to be placed on the Supreme
bench, but the present indications are
that Gen. Bristow, also of Kentucky,
will succeed Mr.. Pierrepont as Minister
to England. Eetter selections for either
position could hardly be made, and,
being good men, it is not a matter of
so much consequence where they live.

Of superintendents of mines on the
Comstock lode was held to-day to con-
slider the questions arising in connec-

the benefit it is likely to prove to the
mines, the cost of pumping water to

expected to exert strong influence in
settling the points of difference between

A Woman Who Wants to be Hanged
COLUMBUS, O., June 2S.-One of the most
singular cases in the annals of criminal law

Common Pleas County Court Some years age
Mrs. Sarah M. Victor was convicted in Cuya.

ham after having the matter under ADJUSTMENT
for eighteen months has rendered his opinion,
holding that Mrs. Victor is in law an escaped
