rX- The ghost of Mr.. Bundle will! re-
gret to learn that the beadle of st. Jude's
LAS been fined half crown and costs for
sssaulting boy of nine. The daring of
fender went to sleep in church and dropped
- prayer-book, whoreon tho beadle rushed
at him, lugged him into the porch and
whacked him twice with his cane. The
magistrate told the beadle that conviction
did not import anything disgraceful on his
part, but simply that he had been guilty of
au error of judgment. The story shows
how time-honored customs often rest only
on tradition. From time immemorial
beadles have enjoyed the privilege of cor
recting inattentive boys and awakening
them when overtaken by slumber in church
by means of cane. This, it appears, is
illegal, and boys may henceforth during a
sermon sleep in peace, which, as a dstin-
g'tished bishop one remarked, is often
perhaps the best thing they can do"

Debility and Nervous Headache.

Chronic, sick or nervous headache is
generally dependent on, or accompanied
by impaired digestion, by which the cir
cdlaticn and nutrition of the brain are de-
ranged, and the nervous centres vitiated.
The Peruvian Syrup, by reinvigorating the
digestive powers, lays the axe at the root
of the tree the brain is duly nourished,
the nervous symtoms cease, and the head
sche disappears. Sold by all druggists.

A Drove of Hogs AbIaze.

The Quitmau, Ca, Free Press says A
very excellent farmer living in the Marven
District, undertook, a few evening ago, to
cure his hogs of vermin by rubbing them
with coal oil. He provided himself with a
fat lightwood torch, and commenced work.
Unfortunately, just as he had gotten them
well creased a spark from his torch fell on
the back of one of them, and in an instant
ne was in a light blaze. The flames COM
municated to the others, and in few
moments the drove was running wild, flee
ing with lightning speed, appearing in the
darkness like fire iends. The next day
the farmer found his bacon not only cured
hut done up brown.

The Next State.

Washington Territory is DESTROYS of
being admitted into the sisterhood of
States. So far as area and resources are
concerned, it possesses the requisite for
the recognition of its request. The only
thing lacking is population. There has
been large immigration into the Ter
ritory during the past two or three
years. 1t still falls short of the 124, 900,
the number upon which representation
in the lower house of Congress is based.
The people are, however, preparing for
the future so as to be ready with con-
stitution when the formal application is
made. The Territory already far out
strips Nevada in population, and two or
three years at the most will find it with a
population considerably more than 100,-
900. It possesses ali the elements for
great commonwealth, and, in the course
of few years, it will become one of the
most prosperous divisions of the Pacific
coast. 1t abounds in timber, coal, iron
and other like sources of wealth. It has
large area of tillable land. Its rolling
prairies at present afford pasturage for
large herds of stock. There is more
Government land open to pre- -em ption in
Washington Territory than elsewhere on
the Pacific coast. It is, therefore, one
of the most inviting fields for immigra-
ton in the Union.-Sdn Francisco Bul-

Two Snakes Killing a RaccOon.

A fishing party on the banks of Shoal
creek, Jasper county, Mo-, heard noise
in the underbrush, and, going in the di-
rection of the sounds, saw large coon
and two large black snakes in deadly
combat, the former getting the worst Of
the fight. One of the reptiles was
coiled around the coon's body, and,
whenever it attempted to use its teeth,
the other snake struck at its eyes. 1t
attempted to retreat, but the snake
which encircled it dropped a coil, and,
as quick as thought, took "half hitch"
around small sapling. 1t tried hard
to pull loose, and, while its energies
were bent in that direction, the other
snake t,ok coil around the coon's neck,
and In few moments choked the life out
of it. The spectators, who had been dunno
witnesses of the struggle, advanced and
killed the victors. One measured nine
feet, and the other seven feet six inches.

by the governor from having any
perceptible effect on the instrument on
any part of the line. The professor de-
sired it to be understood that the dis
covery was based on a suggestion by
practical telegrapher.
WHAT NEXT?
Prof. Edison has also found by his ex-
periments with the tasimeter that it will
weigh infinitesimal articles as well as
their moisture. For instance, he took
a fiber of paper, and, by placing it in
his new apparatus, found it to be quite
leavy. Then he experimental on q
gnat, connecting the instrument at the
same time with his most sensitive tele-
phone. The result was the detection of
the galvanometer to indicate the weight
of the diminutive insect, while the tele-
phone echoed the sound made by the in
sect's feet on the disk.
BY arranging it with an anamometer
arm and cup and causing the lever to
press on the tasimeter it recorded the
pressure of a faint gust of wind.
THE MEGAPHONE.
Notwithstanding the heavy drains on
his intellect by the numerous wonders
in process of cons truction in his labora-
tory the Professor continues daily at
work perfecting his megaphone. Yes
terday he placed the field megaphone in
front of his laboratory and gave the rub
Der tubes to the writer so that ne might
personally test its strange power. Then
he hurried across lots nearly mile, and
on the brow of hill whispered,
" Do you hear this ?" Two words came
Notwithstanding quite breeze
was blowing at the time. When he
spoke in his ordinary tone, the words
reached their destination as distinctly as
if the distance intervening were foot in
stead of a mile. Again he whispered,
giving the legend of Mary and her little
lamb. Every word was heard by the
writer with perfect distinctness.

NV SarYent DOrr.

Many years ago, when there was but
one church in the old town of Lyme,
Conn, the people were without pastor.
They had been for long time destitute,
and now were on the point of making a
unanimous call for very acceptable
preacher, when cross-grained man, by
the pame of Dorr, began a violent oppo-
sitiou to the candidate, rallied a party,
and threatened to defeat the settlement
At parish meeting, while the matter
was under discussion, sharp-witted
fellow rose in the house, and said he
wanted to tell dream he had last night.
He thought he died and went away where
the wicked people go, and, as soon as
Satan saw him he asked him where he
came froms
"From Lyme, Connecticut 1 told
him right out.
GO All ! and what are they doing in
Lyme 2 he asked.
GO They are trying to settle a minis
ter, I answered.
"'Settle minister 7 he cried out. Il
must put stop to that. Bring me my
boots l must go to Lyme this very
night
81 then told him, as he was drawing
on his boots, that Mr.. Dorr was oppos-
ing the settlement, and very likely he
would prevent it altogether.
"'My sarvent Dorr exclaimed his
Majesty. My sarvent Dorr Here,
take my boots if my sarvent Dorr is at
work, there is no need of my going
at all. >"
This speech did the business-Mr.
Dorr made no further opposition. The
was settled, but his opponent
carried the title. "M My sarvent Dorr,"
with him to the grave.
