TEMPERANCE.
A Division Of the Sons of Temperance was organ
lied IN Atchson, last Monday night, one in White
Cloud, Doniphan County, Tuesday night, and one in
Severance, Saturday night, and one will be in this
place tonight. DIR. Lyman joined at Severance
and 10 doing efficient service. At this place three
ministers signed the application, one of whom was
President Of Highland University. the chief Presby-
terrain educational institution in Kansas. This Dvs-

OF high character. At Severance we commenced the
murphy movement also, and were very successful
there and here. In all the places have visited

DIAMOND DIGGING.

The South African Diamond fields
are seven days hard travel from the
coast. Reaching them you find city
of 40 600 people in desert. The build
ings are all one story in height, some
of canvas, others OF iron or wood, and
a few of brick. Not tree is to be
seen. On the outskirts of the town
are the huts of the Hottentots and
wagons which serve as houses for the
diggers. There are five churches, a
Jewish synagogue, two theaters, and
a skating rink. Pianos are in many OF
the houses dress suits and many other
requirements of fashionable life are
insisted on. Digging for diamonds is
very expensive, vet two thirds of the
diggcrs have realized moderate for
tunes.

A Singular Phenomena In Arkansass
On Friday night of last week, it
will be we'll remembered we expert
enced a tremendous rainfall. 1t
measured nearly one inch and a-half
sf solid water, or about 3C0 tons in
weight to every square acre of ground.
With this immense body Of water
which came from the clouds, all inside
Of twelve hours. there also fell over a
large cotton field near Bledsoe's Land
ing, in Commerce Bend, about fifty
miles below this city, in Arkansas,
wonderful shower of sharks scales.
The field, which contains an area OF
800 to 600 acres, and perhaps more,
was thickly strewn with the scales.
This strange appearance attracted the
attention of the field laborers early
next morning. and many were collect
ed as curioslties. One OF the thick,
hard scales, in the form of a rectangu.
lar parallelogram, about three fourths
of an inch wide, is now on exhibition
1T this office. Several persons who
collected specimens of the shiny scales
contemplate converting them into
breastpins or small buttons. How
these odd substances were carried
aloft among the clouds, or what fanci-
full breezes caused them to be scatter
ed among the Bledsoe Landing cotton
fields, is one of those things that no
person can find out just now.-f Mem

But he was too late; Fred. was in

'Ah, uncle cried the young man,
with a merry laugh, that was a cum

Mr.. Popleton not only gave this but
presented Rose, on her wedding day,
with a house completely furnished.
He seemed a little shy of her at first,
but this soon wore away. or rather de-
veloped into the paternal affection
growing out of this mutual relation,
aud the winning and lovable qualities
of mis- nephew's wife.
This little episode in his life had the
good, effect OF making him more dis
,rustful of 'mself, more tolerant of
the follies d weaknesses of others.
And sometimes, as Rose looked back
upon it, this question arose in her
mind, which she never even suggested
TO her husband:
WAS he in earnest ?

A NUMBER of years ago attention
was attracted to a theory which in
sisted that the last effort of vision ma
terialized itself aud remained as an
object imprinted on the retina OF the
eye after death. This has been proved
a fact by an experiment tried in the
presence of DIR. Gamgee. f. Il. S., of
Birmingham, England, and Prof Bun
sen, the subject being living rabbit.
The means taken to prove the merits
of the Question were most simple, the
eyes being placed near an opening in
shutter, and retaining the shape OF
the same after the animal had been de
prived of life.

TIE R M g.:
cAFLorrA.s PARTIAL CURE.

Cariutta was transferred a long time
ago from the roy al chateau at La Eli
| ken, where she was q source of con-
siderable annoyance to the royal faui-
lily, to the Palace OF Tervueren, which
| was specially tiiisd up for her, and
where she was ire .ted with the utmost
tenderness. But she soon perceived
that she was n prisoner and in her
folly she was SO unusually sharp that
she succeeded in escaping one mora
nag early at dawn, and, flying away,
began TO plan for recommending her
correspondence with the Pope, with
numerous Emperors, and even with
her husband, the announcement of
whose death she had never been al
lowed TO hear until recently. When
her escape was discovered the Captain
OF the guard at the palace went nearly
mad with despair. But in a couple of
hours she was found again. She had
mounted horse in the chateau-yard
and wandered off into the woods.
This happened before DR.. Bulkens,the
noted Director of the colony of the
insane at Gheel, took charge of her
case. She has recently been in an
alarming condition of hes'th, but after
DIR. Bulkens began to direct her move
inents she was calm, and is now in
many respects perfectly sene. She
writes great deal. paints, studies
music earnestly, and it is now said
that the Doctor had the courage to tell
her the truth concerning Maximilian's
sad fate. she received the news calm
ly, but it is impossible to say whether
or not she appreciates its significance
fully. She has occasional fits of de-
irinm. and one phase Of her insanity
has never quilted her. She is still
afraid that her food is poisoned, and
refuses to partake of it until some one
else has tasted it. Her case has still
many discouraging features, but it was
confidently hoped that the noted Doc
tor might be able to restore her COM
pletely to reason. Death has taken
him away, however, and the success
of lesser physicians is more problem
atical. The Queen of the Belgians
frequently visits Carlotta and spends
hours with herr Paris letter iii Bos-
tou journal,
