the passage from Europe; and in passing
sentence, Recorder Iackett told him that
he was one of the meaneSt and most con-
temptihle thieves that had ever been
brought before him and only regI cited
that the law did not allow him to give him
a longer sentence. No less than six sui
cides mark the calendar of the present
week: Two by hanging, two by drowning,
one blew his brains out, and the other took
Paris green. George W. Southwick, who
hanged himself in his office on Nesey street,
was we'll known as the manufacturer Of
Egyptian hair dye. He was an active bust
ness man and prominent Mason. 1t is
surmised by some that the use OF his own
nostrum may have produced temporary in-
sanity, while others impute it to domestic
trouble; the only thing certain about the
whole affair is that the man is hanged.

SCRIBNER FOR NoyLMBER.-The Novem-
b2r number Of Sctibner is the first of its
fifteenth volume. Edward Eggeston' S new
novel, Roxy" is begun, with an illustra-
ton by Walter Shirlaw. The scene is laid
in Indiana, where lived "The Iioosier
Schooimaster " aud other interesting char
acters with whom DR.. Eggleston has made
the world familiar. 1t is a curious coinci-
dence that leading character in this novel
turns out to be the very counterpart of Mrs
Burnett's " LoduslSy" published in Serb
ner for September). There is even ball
room scene in Roxy which will remind the
reader of similar scene in Lodusky. But
although DR.. Eggleston's story appears
after Lodusky, it was written long before,
and neither writer has borrowed from the
other. Mrs. Burnett has simply found Cor
imagined) in North Carolina tie same
"type " that DR.. Eggleston has found Cor
Imagined in Indiana. DR.. Eggleston's
character is called Nance Kirtley, and is
thus described: "Such face as hers would
have been observed in any company, but
such face among the poor whiteys Of
Rocky Fork, seemed by contrast miracu-
lous. There was no fire of intellect in it;
no inward conflict had made on it a single
line. 1t was simply combination of nat
ural symmetry, clear, rather Oriental com,
plexion and exuberant heathfulness. Feel
ing there was-sensuousness, vanity and
lntr
placency. Nancy Kirtley was one of those
magnificent animals that are all the more
magnificent for being only animals. TWAS
beauty Of the sort that one sees among
quadroons and octoroons-the beauty of
Circassian women, perhaps phys-
cal development, undisturbed and uhin-
formed by a SOUL"

Weighing The Thanksgiving Turkey.

"Here sir. Please take this bird around
to Albro's, and see how much it weighs"
The idea What would the folks over
the way say, to see the professor walk
ing out with big turkey under his arm :?
That was the way the thing presented itself
to the good natured college student acting
as private tutor in the family. But Mrs.
Simpson, the portly and practical house
wife, had no such idea of the fitness Of
things.
1t was the day before Thanksgiving, and
the farmer who had agreed to supply her
with a turkey had brought it, but had not
weighed it, and, of course, they could not
agree on its weight, ali of which ended in
the startling proposition with which We
began.
"Well, if you Amt the LATEST man!
just as though it was going to hurt you
any to take this bird to the corner and
back!' she went on, as she saw me looking,
apparently, for hole to crawl into, but,
in reality, for the broom, which, when
found, made use of in putting into exc
cution plan ! had formed for weighing
the turkey at home.
hung the broom handle to the gas jet
by q wire loop, and Slid it along il the luoi
until it balanced, BY this time all were
curious to see what was about.
chen fixed wire to the turkeys feet
- IL :. 81,
broom handle. Next got a iiat-igo; and
fixed it in tie same way. When ihe brooni
was nicely balanced, hung the turkey ol
the broom end Of the stick, two inches from
the balancing loop. Their hung the fiat i.oa
on the other side, and showed it along until
it balanced the turkey. Next MEASURED
the distance Of the turkey ana Hat-iion
ON the balancing loop, and tie turkey hum
two inches and the ilat-iron eight inci-s
from the balancing bop. That was al
l had found the weight Of the turkey, and
told Them Twenty four pounds.
DO you s'pose I'm going to believe all
that tomtoolery? 1t doesn't weigh moie'n
twenty, know. Here Maggie. Take his
out and ask Albro 10 weigh it for YOU
"I'm blamed if he hasn't hit it about
right said the farmer who had brought
the turkey. d" How did you find out?"
"Weil, you see," said |, "the flat iron
has figure on it, that shows that it
weighs SIX pounds Now, if the turkey
had not weighed more than tie Hat-ilon
they would have balanced each other at
the same distance from the balancing looy,
but the turkey was the heavier; so | had to
move the tlat-iron out further. At the
same distance from the loop as the tu! key
two inches, the flat-iron pulled six pounds
weight and at every addition of that dis
lance it would pull six pounds more
Thus: at four inches it pulled twelve
pounds; at six inches, eighteen pounds;
and at eight inches, twenty four pounds.
At that distance it just balanced the tur
key, thus proving that it weighed"
"Well, Maggie, what does Albro saw"
"Twenty--four pouu', num-" replied
Maggie, coming in.
"WeM, give up, sad Mrs. SIMPSON
and she did, and so do | till next time.

THE COMPROMISE BILL.

It is more than probable that ere

suggest that if this thing is to become

would doubtless send the poor devil

The arguments of opposing counsel,

"the same fearless, lion-like regard, the

which could sparkle with genial humor
or fix and darken with immutable re-
solve or profound meditation; the same
massive forehead, strong AS fortress ;
the same mouth, so firm, yet SO mobile
in the singular play of line; the same
grand chin, powerful as il cast in bronze
