the corner store soon to be vacated
by Mr.. Jos. Deller, and on moving

A FRIEND tells us he has hen that
actually, laid three eggs in one day,
recently. He explained it in this way:
The egg when broken was found to
contain two yollss, and within these
was found perfectly formed egg,
of nearly an ordinary size, with a
shell, hard and perfectly formed.
If this biddy continues such busi-
ness she may prove a bonanza in the
hen line-but then it's no use; eggs
are so heap.-Ex.

A FEMALE WALKIST.-There are

ver,ising that Miss Exilda Lachap-
ellie, will, at Lenahau's hall, next
Friday evening, at 8 o'clock, COM
mence tramp of one hundred miles,
to perform the feat in twenty-five
hours. We have read many tlatter-

ia various prominent papers of the
country, and in every instance has
she fulfilled her agreement. To wit

been the good fortune of our citizens
before, and it is desired thai the
public will extend liberal patronage
and uniform kindness TO Miss La

ONE OF the Young bloods Of this
city-who, by the way, is q clerk =
Sot into dispute with a couple
smaller boys, one day last week, and
no doubt thinking he could dull-doze
them, he commenced talking in a
hragadocio manner. When the lit
tie boys thought he had gone far
enongh they requested him 20 "wax
his teeth supplemented with the
remark that if he didn't they'd help
him. But the clerk didn't "waX"
worth cent. The little fellows
then thought it advisable to make
him, so, holding council among them
selves for a few moments, they d.
clared war on the clerk, and a short
bat decisive battle was fought. The
clerk retreated in bad order with
one wounded. A treaty was then
.consummated by the clerk acknowl.
edglng defeat; and TO show how de-
void OF malice and forgiving he was,
remarked-"Thatll be all right now,
boys veil 10 friepds."

PREPARED TEA At an Exhibition
OF sanitary appliances" recently, held in
Manchester, England, a new method of
preparing tea was shown which deserves
attention. The process simply consists
in applying to loose tea an enormous
pressure which compresses it to within
one-third of its original bulk, forming it
into bar or block, marked with notches
or depressions into divisions of half an
ounce each. The effect of this pressure
is 10 thoroughly break up the fibre of the
leaves and to open the small cells which
have been closed up during the process
Of drying abroad, and which are not
opened by the action Of boiling water.
The result is that the compressed tea
gives, after ordinary infusion, liquor
from forty to fifty per cent. stronger than
loose tea. High grade teas, it is stated,
show even higher percentage. If these
facts are practicable there is clear gain
70 the consumer which would enable
him to lse the better qualities, and that
NJ saving. An account of the new pro-
cess closes with the statements that it ex-
poses aduteration or the use of a spur-
Gus article to even unskiled eyes, Il!
that the enormous pressure used at once
brings facing, coorinS matter and other
soluble impurities to the surface, and re-
veals at once 20 the naked eye filings,
grit end other foreign substances which
may happen to be on the surface of the
compressed blocks, as these will noC
amalgamato with the tea

INDIAN BELIEF.-The Indian is a very
positive person; he knows everything in
the universe, snd-will always have an ex-
planation ready for any event or pheno-
menon OF nature that may occur. No
doubt ever troubles the mind of the noble
red man as to the accuracy of his state
ments: he knows them TO be true; for
have not these traditions been handed
down to him, generation by generation,
from the remote antiquity? AS to what
are good deeds the Indians, ideas are
very peculiar. They generally believe,
however, that if they can steal all the
horses they can lay their hands on, and
scaip all their enemies, they have render
cd themselves worthy candidates for the
"happy hunting grounds" Their ideas
of the situation of this happy country are
very vague. Those tribes living on the
seashore will say it is beyond the "great
water" Those living near a mountain
range say it is beyond the high mountains,
etc. Some of the tribes, the Pueblos for
instance, have seen different countries
piled one above another in vertical di-
rection, having magic ladders upon which
the good spirits climb from one country
to another. Other tribes have the count
ries arranged side by side in a horizon
tai direction; while some of the Esqui-
maux Indians go to the edge ofthe world
md tumble otfwhen :hey make visit to
their happy land. The Indians believe
in regard TO some of the phenomenon of
nature, that the sun is chased around the
sky by rabbit; that the god Of rain dips
his brush into the heavenly lake and
sprinkles the earth, causing rain; that in
winter crushes ice and forms snow; also.
that the sky is covered with a curtain at
night, pierced fall of holes with a lamp
behinc it, the light shining through the
orihces producing stars.-IoweH.

The MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY A
young stranger called on DR.. NC
one evening, while he was pastor in
New York city, to engage his services in
the performance Of a nuptial ceremony.
81 wish to make bargain with you.
Doctor" said the yonng man. ~ think
the girl l am to marry will make first
rate wife. II you wait year for your
fee, and she turns out as l think she will,
III then give you fifty dollars"
They agreed, the young couple we're
married, and the incident passed from the
doctors mind. At the end OF a year, at
the same time in the evening, the young
man called again. The doctor did not
recognize him at first.
"Do you not remember the bargain we
made when you married me year ago?"
"Oh yes" replied the doctor.
"Well," answered the young man,
"she is twice as good as | thought she
was. There's one hundred dollars for
you"
Exactly the opposite from this is the
following
A clergyman in one Of the Hudson
River towns united German couple in
marriage. When the knot was tied the
bridegroom said, "Dominie. I've got no
monish, but III send you one leetle pig"
1t was done and the circumstance was
forgotten by the clergyman. Two years
afterward he met the German in another
town, for the first time since the marriage
ceremony was performed.
Dominic" said the German, "you
remembers you married me, and l gave
you Won Ieetle pig ?"
"Yes."
"Vell, if you'll unmarry me I'll give
you two leetle pigs. ."-Ua,perS.

WE must measure n mans strength by
the power of the feelings he subdues,
not by the power of those which subdue
him. Ard hence, composure is often
the highest result Of strength. Did we
ever see man receive fragrant injury,
and then reply calmly2 That is a man
spiritually strong. Or did we ever see
man in anguish, stand as if carved out of
solid rock. as masterering himself? Or
one bearing hopeless daily trial remain
silent, and never tell the world what can
kcred his home peace? That is strength.
We too often mistake strong feeling for
strong character. A man who bears all
before him. before whose frown domestics
trembe and whose bursts of fury make
the children of the household quake be-
cause he has his way in all things, we
call him strong man. The truth is that
h is weak man; it is his passions that
are strong-he, mastered by hem is weak.

AT dinner where you and your hus--

government in Europe. But after a
time he was compelled to change his
policy. He took a Saxon Minister,
threw over all the absolutist traditions
of his house, gave to Hungary an in
dependence, which was recognized by
his being crowned King of that country
as distinct title from that of Emperor
