Hanging fer Amusement.

Two remarkable examples are on
record of persons who allowed them
selves 10 be hung for the entertainment
OF an audience. An account of oae OF
them is given in the Lancet Of April
Il, 1877. The mans real name was
John Harnshaw, but lie performed
throughout England under the high
sounding professional title of Monsieur
GOuffe. He was All athlete, and among
other feats it was customary with him
10 exhibit the process of hanging. Ia
this performance he relied for security
on the strength of the muscles of the
neck and throat. He had rope with
a fixed knot which could not slip, ard
passed both ends of the loop up behind
one ear. The whole act was so adroit-
ly managed that he prevented any
pressure of the rope Oh the Windpipe
or the jugular veins, and could even
sustain weight of one hundred and
fifty pounds in addition TO that of his
own body.
On three separate occasions Harm
shaw mismanaged the rope, and be-
came unconscious, being luckily res
cued each time. DR.. ChOwne, who
writes the account, says very truly: at
cannot be doubted that, as far as SELL
sation and consciousness are concern
ed, UarnshaW passed through the
whole ordeal of dying; and, had lie
been permitted to remain hanging un-
Til actually dead, he would have passed
out of existence without further con-
sciousnesS."
Now. this man stated, not with par
ticular reference to either accident
but as common to all. that she could
hardly recoliect anything that happen
ed to him in the rope" that che lost
his senses all at once; the instant the
rope got in the wrong place he felt rs
if lie could not get his breath--as if
some great weight were at his feet;
could not move only to draw himself
up: felt as if he wanted to loosen HIM
self, but never thought of his hands"
And lie added: "You cannot move
your arms or legs to save yourself; you
cannot IaiSe your arms; you cannot
think" lie did not see sparks OF light,
but had in his ears Il rattling sound.

Fer the Girls,

This item, which we take from an
exchange, is for the girls:
Tie blooming and beautiful young
lady, rose-cheeked and bright-eyed
who can darn a stocking, mend her
own frocks, command regiment OF
pots and kettles, feed the pigs, milk
the COWS, and be a lady all the time, is
the girl that sensible young men are in
quest of for wife. But you pining,
wasp WASTED, doll-dresSed, consump-
tion-mortgaged, music-murdering and
novel-deyouring daughters of fashion
and ideness, you are no more fit for
matrimony than pullet to look after
a brood of fourteen chickens.
The truth is, my dear girls, you want
less of restraint and more liberty Of ac-
ton: more kitchen and less parlor;
more exercise and less sofa; more pud-
ding and less piano; more frankness
and less mock-modesty. Loosen your
corsets and breathe in the pure atmos-
phere. and become something AS good
and beautiful as nature designed.

The Walking Horse.

There is class of men who put in the
meagre portion of their time in picking up
untried horses, testing these, and patting
them into regular training, if they are
found to give fair promise. Such horses
are used for sporting during the year, a lit
tie money being won no and then from
green ones. But these jockeys concentrate
the main effort upon the fall fairs, and the
management is so manipulated that the
most liberal prizes are awarded on these
mere sporting nags. This sounds odd
when we consider the intent of the law
which gave birth to these agricultural exhi-
billions, but nevertheless it represents the
facts accurately.
In the organization Of county and State
Agricultural associations, it was the pur-
pose that agriculture and the mechanic
arts be made most prominent the principal
prizes 10 be awarded in these interests. and
it is the manifest departure that has estrang-
ed so many farmers, and in an equal degree
precludes the enlistment of the younger
portion of the farming fraternity; at least
this has such a general application as to
take in the better class.
How the monotony would be broken il
the ever present sulky, heavy blankets and
driver, playing second to all manner OF i'll
shaped diminutive herses-everything in
fact that can beat four minuteS-in training
in town and at the road crossings, should
be replaced by the draft and business horse,
the object being to accelerate his walking
gait. There would be degree of useful
ness and even novelty in this, that would
give it some prominence at the outset, and
the horse OF useful size that could go into
the market and show walking gait of five
miles to the hour, would command atten-
ton, and a good price. The work which a
team of such horses would be capable of
performing during a year, hitched to
truck or business wagon, over and above
what is accomplished by the slow unframed
walker, would represent no mean item, and
it is not eytravagant to say that the team,
through this accelerated gait, would earn
its feed extra every week.
In the utter absence of any effort, even
in single instance, to breed fast walkers,
is not the field good one to enter upon. BY
breeding for walking gait the capacity
for speed and usefulness i'll other directions
is in no wise compromised, A fast walking
stallion of good size and of general merit
who inherits the traits of two or three good
walkers, his latest of kin crossed upon
strong mares of like tendencies, would en-
sure no little certainty as to the swinging
strides within the capacity of the progeny
to make.
In certain States (mainly southern) where
the saddle horse is extensively used, the
breeding of PAGERS is habitually practiced,
and there is quite demand for horses that
possess this tendency. This system of
breeding ensures uniformity, or at least the
tendency to the popularity of gait;:is such
as t. render the progeny very apt pupils.

Be Kind Bows.

Horace Mann talks to the boys as
follows:
You are made to be kind, boys-gen-
erous, magnanimous. If there is boy
in school who has club foot. don't let
him know you ever S; " it. If there is
a poor boy with ragged clothes, don't
talk about rags in his hearing. II
there is lame boy, assign him some
part of the game which does not re-
quire running. If there is a hungry
one. give him part of your dinner. If
there is dull one, help him to get his
lesson. If there is bright one, be not
envious Of him; for if one boy is proud
of his talents, and another is envious
of him, there are two great wrongs,
and no more talent than before. If a
larger Or stronger boy has injured you,
and is sorry for it, forgive him. All
the school will show by their counten-
ances how much better it is than TO
have great lst.

Il Tired WOman's Last TOrds.

Here lies an old woman who always was tired,
For she lived in a house where help WASH t
hired
Her last words on earth were: Dear friends, ]
am going
Where washing amt done, nor churning, nor
sewing;
And everything there will be just to my wishes.
For where they don't cat there's no washing of
dishes,
I'll be where loud anthems will always be
ringing,
But, having no voice. FL get rid of the singing
Don't mourn for me now, AMI mourn for M
never,
For I'm going to DO nothing forever and ever.

Proofs of former exploration are
found i'll various parts of the Black
Hills regions, and It is probable that
gold was discovered there about thirty
years ago by several separate parties
of adventures, all of whom were killed
by Indians. The bones of men and
beasts, mingled with rusted mining
tools. were in one place discovered
within a rude fortilication of rocks. In
another spot rotted sluice box made
of IA hewn tree, showed that mining op-
erations had been carried on.
