The Imperturbable Passenger.

A TRAIN.BoY on an Illinois road found
a rather tough customer in an old gen
tleman of composed mien, who received
all shots as if he were bullet-proof The
boy bombarded him with papers, and
pamphlets, and candies, and bound
books, and nuts, and fruits of one kind
and another. But it was no good. Had
the elderly party been lined inside with
brass he could not have shown greater in
difference. The boy fretted under his
treatment, as was plain to be seen. He
had passed the cigars some thirty times,
and without success, when he said, in a
tone of desperation:
Try some of these cigars, and if they
don't kill YOU within a month I'll give you
the money back"
The man was somewhat amused by
that, but he had the boy. He said:
"lf l am dead how can you give me
the money!"
"Tll give it to your family, then"
but amt got no family"
Well, I'll give it to the family next
door," persisted the boy.
But there amt no family next door"
said the man, with the smile frightening
his face.
"Oh, there'll be one move in when
they hear you are dead" was the quick
reply.

How Female Suffrage Works.

Among the arguments which have
been brought to bear on the Massa-
chusetts Legislators this winter against
woman suffrage is the following letter
from a former Massachusetts woman,
now living in Wyoming, copies of which
have been distributed among the Sena-
tors and the Representatives 1t is
addressed to Mrs. Ruth Williams, of
Lynn:
CHEYENNE CITY, Jan. g. 1877.
DEAR FRIEND RUTH: You
ask me for my opinion on the workings,
ETC., of women suffrage. Well, in short,
my candid opinion is this: that it is the
greatest curse that ever befell the sex
since the Christian era, and l will try to
give you some of my reasons. Ever
since suffrage became a law | have had
trouble with John He declares that |
shall vote for his ticket, and declare
won't; for in politics / am Democrat
and he is Republican, and, so as to
make peace, | have never voted my
ticket (nor his neither as for that, haD
/ get along first, rate with John, as he is
easy to manage, and although he talks
hard Just before election he is really a
good, kind husband. But with the boys
it is different. James has not spoken to
me for more than a year, for no other
reason than won't vote the Republican
ticket. And as for my poor dear Edgar,
the boy that have loved, tended, and
made myself a slave to, because of his
misfortune, he treats me very ill. Some
times | feel to curse the day that l ever
left Massachusetts, and happy women
shall l be when we again set foot on
Massachusetts soil. You know, my
dear Ruth, more united family never
lived than ours when we lived in good
New England, but now it is sadly
changed l suppose you would say,
vote as they want you to, for the sake of
peace. Well, would, but when |
look upon the principle involved l can

his old age now, and he is so set in his
way that | don't know what would be
the consequences for child of his to
vote the Republican ticket. No one
knows how much unhappiness this suf-
| frage matter has made in our family.

Cats.

1t is not often that we hear any credit
rendered to the cat for either intelli-
genCe or affection; and it is therefore
pleasing to be able to record two in
stances in which one, if not both, of
these qualities is shown in remarka-
BILE manner in this animal \ gentle
man writing from India to friend in
England, few mails ago, says of pet
Persian cat: 81 was lolling on the sofa,
drowsily perusing the newspaper, few
mornings ago, when Tom came and
stood near me, mewing in a plain
way, as if to attract attention. Not
wishing to be disturbed, | waved him
off. He, however, returned in minute
or SO, and this time jumped on the
sofa, and, looking me in the face, re-
newed his noise more vigorously. Los
ing patience, roughly drove him away
He then went to the door of an adjoin-
ing room, and stood there mewing most
piteously. Fully aroused got up and
went toward him. AS | approached he
made for the further corner of the room
and began to show fight, bristling up
and flourishing his tail. 1t at once
struck me that there was an unwelcome
visitor in the room, which Tom wished
to get rid of; and sure enough, in look,
ing toward the corner, | discovered a
cobra coiled up behind a bookshelf
under a dressing-table. The noise
made by our approach aroused the snake,
and he attempted to make off; but dis
patched him with my gun, which was
ready loaded close by. You should
have seen TOMS satisfaction He ran
between my legs, rubbing himself
against them caressingly, as if to say,

The friend to whom the incident is
related, after reading it to me, went on
to say that some years ago, when in
India with her father, the family were
gathered after tea, one rainy evening,
listened to one of their number who
was reading an interesting story. While
thus engaged a cat of which her father
was very fond jumped on his knee,
and, moving about in a restless manner,
began to NEW in a louder key than
usual. The old gentleman, as was his
wont, commenced to caress the cat,
expecting thereby to quiet it; but to no
purpose. 1t showed signs Of Impotence
by jumping down and up again, mewing
vigorously the whole time. Not wish
ing to be interrupted IN what was going
on, he called for a servant to put the
cat out of the room, but Puss would not
tamely submit to an indignant turnout
and commenced clawing at the old
mans feet. This he thought was going
too far; he rose to chastise the cat; but
ere he had time to do SO he discovered
that it was nothing less than timely
warning which Puss had given him, fol-
not far from where he sat there was, under
the table, small, venomous snake,
which probably would have bitten him
had he molested or trampled on it, The
reptile was Immediately killed, and

Mr. II. r. STEVENS:
Dear Sir-The following is statement of my
experience with the great Blood Remedy, NEGR-
TINE | have been keeping boarding house here
for many years, and have had the misfortune to
have great deal of sickness in my family In
one case in particular noticed the wonderful et-
feet of NEGETINE.
About the wear ls47 young man. then sixteen
years old, who was distan relative of mine,
came home from lie had injured his left leg
on board the ship some months before, and when
the ship came into this port he came TO my house,
being feeble that he could not 20 to his home in
Lowell. His leg was swollen above the knee more
than twice its natural size, and he was Obliged to
drag it along after him. having no use of it what
ever. The effect Of this had reduced him to a
mere skeleton. His father came down, and EN-
poyed Dr. George Hayward of Boston to attend
him, who then occupied prominent position in
the Massachuse General Hospital. He pro-
nounced it a bad case of Necrosis; said he must
be removed TO the hospital, have his leg opened
and the bone bored, to allow the discharge OF mat
ter there collected; otherwise the leg must be am
putated
Not thinking it advisable to pursue this course,
and having used EEGETINE, the great Blood Rem
edy, in the past with good effect. concluded to
try it in this case After taking it regularly for
six weeks. his leg was but little swollen. and his
general he 18th so much improved that he did not
look like the same pers on. At the end OF five
months he went home 10 Lowell peri, city cured.
He remained in Lowell until the COMMENCEMENT
OF the war; then joined the army, and was pro-
nounced a sound and well man.
The above is but one cas- out OF many where |

ldled success | have taken it myself for twenty
years, more or less, for Dyspepsia and General De-
btlity. and it always appeared to give me new life

The Hussars and Brandenburgers tried
to enter, as they did last year, and hence
the scrimmage. In short time the add
jacent streets were full of soldiers, who,
striking out in blind rage, hit friend and
foe alike, and were quite beyond the Of
ticers' control; indeed, two of these lat
ter are reported killed and others seri-
ously wounded. A single regiment had
forty killed and wounded men.
A GENTLEMAN has just died in Paris
who owed most of his celebrity to the
quaint manner in which he managed to
disembarrass himself of his creditors.
No sooner did a dun present himself
than he was ushered into room hung
round with variety of mirrors, some
convex, Others Concave, etc. In one the
unfortunate creditor beheld himself with
a head as fiat as a founder, in another
his features were nearly as sharp as a
knife, in a third he had several heads, in
fourth he was upside down. Here he
had the broad grin of clown, there the
long-drawn visage of an undertaken. On
one side of the room he saw himself all
head and no body; on the other side it
seemed as if a dwarf had put on the
boots of a giant. No applicant, how
ever pressing, was known to resist this
chamber of horrors for more than a
quarter of an hour.
A TERRIBLE calamity recently occurred
in the Norwegian village of Eilingso.
The schoolmaster had called the children
of the village together with the object of
examining them, using for this purpose
the second floor of a large unfinished log
house, to which access was gained through
window by means of ladder, the
staircase not being finished. Twenty
children had assembled, and the exami-
nation was nearly concluded, when sud
denly the schoolmaster observed heavy
volumes of smoke penetrating the room,
directly followed by flames. Rushing to
the window he observed to his terror that
the ladder had disappeared, thus cutting
OFT the only means of escape. Selling
a couple of the children he threw them
out of the window, but, blinded, sutfo-
eating and scorched, he was unable to
get hold of any more, and jumped him
self through the window, breaking one
leg in the fall. All the men in the vii
lage were out fishing and the women
away, thus no assistance was possible,
and the poor children were left to their
fate. Only four of the whole number
escaped, all more or less burned and
bruised, while sixteen persisted, the floor
giving suddenly away.

enthusiasm; and then added, in voice
of terror: But why this question, Paul?
Can you think of forsaking me?"
Postal was silent.
"But it cannot be-" said Catherine.
"You have sworn to love me till death
Yes, While this heart beats it is

on his breast; 8" an inward voice warns
me that | must abandon my two happlest
visions-the bliss of living in the enjoy
ment of your love, Catherine, and the
glory of assuring the welfare of my
countrymen."
What do you mean?" cried the young
girl, whose fear and agitation increased
every minute; "what mean these mys-
ferrous words, these gloomy predictions?
Paul, are you concealing a secret?"
g Yes, Catherine"
"a secret from me, who never had

" You have had all mine-but this one
does not belong to me-"
And, if may judge from your looks,

After moments silence Postal con.

receive from me- But whatever may be

A Russian Love Story.

The Emperor Alexander was dead
His eldest brother, the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, was his natural successor to the
throne of Russia; but by deed till then
kept secret, Constantine, in Alexander's
lifetime, had renounced the crown in
favor of his younger brother, Nicholas.
The accession of the latter, therefore,
excited general surprise; an unsettled
feeling manifested itself among the PEG.
pie and the army. The time appeared
favorable for the breaking out of con-
spiracy which had been forming for years
An instruction took place at st. Peters
burg on Christmas Day, 1925; but the
movement of the cOnspirators was too
hasty, and their attempt, not well Sec
onded by the troops, failed through the
energy of the Gar. A hundred and
thirty-siX leaders of the instruction were
seized, tried and condemned, and almost
all of them were sentenced to perpetual
labor or exile in Siberia. The five prin-
cipal chiefs were condemned to be broken
on the wheel, but did not undergo that
horrible punishment, the gibbet being
substituted by an ukase of the Emperor.
Among these five chiefs the first and
most remarkable was Paul Postal, Colonel
of the infantry regiment of Wiatka.
The long and arduous task to which he
devoted himself had not wholly engrossed
the mind of this brave and persevering
conspirator Alive to the charms of the
arts, he cultivated them with success,
and in particular was an excellent must

pains for you in this matter" A few
days later the young man received a
note from the lawyer informing him that
the collection had been made. He called
upon him, and was handed roll of bills.
As he was counting them the lawyer re-
iterated his remarks about the young
mans good fortune in coming to him
who knew his father, etc. The, young
man, however, looked anything but
happy, for he found but fifteen dollars
in the roll. The lawyer, noticing this,

THE Abingdon (Va) VirgSnian con-
tains this assertion: " Mr.. Joseph
Sprouts, near Mendoza, has very large
black perch in his spring, which he
has had in there for five years. He can
go to the waters edge, pick it up, rub it,
feed it, and play with it, all of which it
seems to ENJOY as would a dog, horse, or
other animal. We tried it, and it was as
playful with us as with Mr.. Sprouts. He
caught it five years ago out of the North
Fork of Holston with a hook and put it
in his spring, and has kept it there safe
ly and made special pet of 1t ever
since. 1t is about twenty inches long
and four to six wide"

A YOUNG man who lives on farm near
Bochara, Australia, lately went to sleep
on sofa after hard days work, and
had been lying there some time when he
got up and went outside. His COM
paniOns observed that he walked with
staggering gait, but little notice was
taken of the matter, as they expected
him to rejoin them Immediately. The
somnambulist, for such he was, passed
through three or four gates, untying and
relying the fastenings, which are made
of rope, and made his way to the wood
shed. There he hung his coat upon a
nail, took down pair of shears he had
been using in the day time, and proceed
ed to sharpen them. He next caught
sheep, and had just finished shearing it
when he was awakened by the sudden
arrival of his friends, who had come with
Il lantern to search for him. The shock
of awakening caused him to tremble like a
leaf, but he soon regained his equanimi-
ty. The sheep was shOrn as well as if
the work had been performed in broad
daylight and the night was by no means
clear one.
The Danhury NeaoS man opened his
lecture at Bridgeport by remarking that
he had seen so much about it on the
posters and in the papers during the
past week or two that he had come to
have feverish desire to hear it himself,
and was very glad he was present.
