WONDERFUL IF TRuE.-A Masonic
lodge in Indiana was presided over by
a Master who had an exaggerated notion
of discipline. One night he met.his lodge
in called meeting (not member absent)
to instruct them in The work. Teaching
them the use of the gavel, he had just
called them up with three knocks when
he leaned too far oack, fell through win
dow to the ground-four stories-and
broke his neck. Picked up the next
morning he was buried decently, bnt
not Mason came to the funeral. More
strange still, not Mason appeared any
more in that village. 1t was inexplica-
BILE. Forty women left widows, two
hundred and twenty children left or
phans, eighty four merchants left in the
lurch with unpaid bills.
Twenty years after that, somebody
went into the fourth story, broke open
the door aud beheld the lodge, a lodge
of skeletons Strange, but true, they
had strictly obeyed the orders of the
w. NJ, and waiting for the knocks to
seat them, starved TO death. Each was
standing in an attitude of ofrespectful at
tention, "looking 10 the east, aud had
no plying citizens taken them down
they would have been standing there
still

CAMERON AND THE WIDOW OLIVER
Although it was stated very positively
that the suit of the widow Oliver against
ex-senator Simon Cameron, claiming
$4,000 damages for breach of promise
of marriage, had been discontinued on
bis payment of $1,000 to her, such does
not now appear to be the case. 1t is
still on the calendar of the court, but as
it is numbered S5I,and the court is now
only up to about 400, it cannot be tried
sooner than May, unless specially ad-
vanced. It's rather difiicultSto get at the
true facts of the matter The woman
alleges that she was deceived by Gen.
Cameron, and that she met him in New
Orleans, WI hen he said something that
she construed into an invitation to come
to Washington and become his wife
After she came there she got a place in
the Treasury, it is said through bis in
tiuence, aud a. once commenced to give
him trouble. She engaged Mr. A. g.
Riddle as her counsel, who saw the ven
erable Pennsylvania aud consulted
with him. Mr.. Cameron did not admit
any Of Mrs. divers allegations, but
said that she was a constant annoyance
TO him, and gave Mr. Riddle 81 900, in
two separate payments of $500 each,
to hand over TO her on condition that
she would let him alone. The money
was paid to her, and Mr.. Riddle has
stated that he holds proper legal re-
ceipts for it, stipulating TO release Mr..
Cameron from all further claims. Sub
sequently she requested Mr., Riddle to
bring the damage suit against the ex-
Senator, but he refused TO do so, be-
lieving that she was attempting to ex.
tort money. She then went to others
aud after some rebufs has succeeded in
securing counsel to take up her case.
Mr.. Riddle is now retained by General
Caneron, along with Ben. Butler and
Mr. Cook, for the defence, and his friends
say that the woman is trying to black
mail him, theory that is very gener-
ally accepted.

WHAT DID GEORGE WAsmNGToN
KNOW Ave don't like to be irrever-
ent, but would like to ask, What di!
our torefathers know? What, for in
stance, did George Washington know
He never saw steamboat. lie never
saw fast mail train. He never neld
his ear to a telephone. He never sat
for his picture in photograph gallery.
He never received telegraphic dis
patch. He never sighted krupp gun.
He never listened to the "fzz' OF an
electric pen. He never saw pretty
girl run a sewing machine He never
saw a selt.propelling engine 60 down
the street to a fire. He never heard OF
evolution. He never took laughing
gas. He never had set of store teeth.
He never attended an International Ex-
position. He never owned bonanza
mine. he never knew "Old Prob" lie
bat why 90 on? No; when he took
an excursion it was on hat-boat.
When he went off on train it was a
mule train. When he wanted to talk
with a man in Milwaukee he had to go
there. When he had his picture taken
it was done in profile with a piece of
black paper and pair of shears. When
he got the returns from back counties,
they had to be brought i'll by man
with an ox-cart When he took aim at
the enemy he had TO trust to crooked
barrelled old flint lock When he wrote
it was with a goose-quill. When he
had anything to mend his grandmother
did it with darning-needle. When he
went to a fire he stood in line and pass
ed buckets. When he looked at a clam
he never dreamed it was any relation OF
his. When he went to concert he
heard cracked fiddle and an insane
clarionet. When he had tooth pulled
he sat down and never left of yelling.
When he got out of teeth he mummed
his victuals. When he wanted an in
ternatlonal show he sent for Lafayette
and ordered his friend up from old Vir-
ginia with the specimens carefully la
beled in bottles. When be once got
hold of a nugget Of gold from an Indian
chief he felt rich When he wanted to
know anything about the weather he
consulted the ground hog or goose
bone. When-but why go on? What
did such man know? Who was he,
anyway?

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.

l am dying, Egypt, dying;
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast,
And the dark Plutonian shadows
Gather on the evening blast.
Let thine arm, oh Queen, support me,
Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear;
Hearken to the great heart secrets
Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
Though my SCARED and veteran legions
Rear their eagles high no more,
And my wrecked and scattered galleys
Strew dark Actium's fatdl shore
Tho no glittering guards surround me,
Prompt to do their masters will,
l must perish like Roman
Die the great, Triumvir still!
Let not Caesars servile miniOns
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that felled him,
Twas his own that dealt the blow:
Here, then, pillow on thy bosom,
Ere yon star shall lose its ray,
Him, who, drunk with thy caresses,
Madly threw the world away.
Should the base, plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where my noble spouse Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home.
Seek her! Say the gods have told me,
Affairs, angels circling wings,
That her blood, with mine commingled,
Yet shall mount the throne of kings.
AS for thee, star-eyed Egyptian,
Glorious sorceress of the Nile!
Light my path to Stygian horrors
With the splendour of thy smile;
Give to Caesar crowns and arches
Let his brow the laurel twine;
can scorn all other honors,
Triumphing i'll love like thine.
l am dying, Egypt, dying,
Hark the insulting foeman's cry!
They are coming! Quick-my talchion
Let me face them ere | die.
All, no more amid the battle
Shall my voice eXulting swell!
Isis and Osiris guard thee
Cleopatra-Rome-farewell!

A CHILD Born IN A GRAyE.-A hor-
rible occurrence is reported from Cas-
tel, near Guidici, in Italy. A poor wo-
mau, near her confinement, was seized
with fit of catalepsy, which the sur
geon, who was called in, mistook for
death. He gave certificate according
ly, and twenty four hours later the
woman was buried in the common
grave of the cemetery A few days
afterward, on the grave being open for
another interment, il was remarked that
the body of the woman bad been dis
turbed. On examining the eyes were
found partially open and distorted, the
baniage in which the legs had been
swathed was burst asunder, and child
had been born. The doctor aud the
president OF the commune have been
punished for their criminal carelessness
by imprisonment for three months.

Cannon Farrar, of Westminster Alb
hey, is agitating the Church of England
by urging that the words SHE'LL sever
lasting" and ''damnation" ought to be
left out of the Bible, as they are wrong
translations. He was addressing the
learned doctors now engaged on the
revision of the Bible He claims that
King James translation is imperfect,
and that the frightful words we have
quoted are not justified by the original.
Cannon Farrar does not believe in hell
and damnation as representing eyerlast
ing punishment. The subject is excit.
ing much thought and discussion 10
England, and is striking blow at the
very base of the Christian religion. 1t
will not amount to a great deal, when
the novelty and audacity Of the propo-
sition has sabsided.

A novel breach of promise suit has
been on trial at Richmond, Va, Miss
Pauline Rhule plaintiff and F. Neurath
defendant. Both parties move in the
higher circles of society. The defend-
ant broke the engagement for the rea-
son, as he alleges, that her breath was
bad, fact which he discovered upon
kissing her last September. She denied
this, and offered to put on the witness
stand young lady friends who had slept
with her, and would testify that her
breath is sweetly aromatic. AS Miss
Rhule is buxom girl, and bewitchiug,
the jury will probably want to sample
her breath, and ascertain whether it is
sweetness wasted on the desert air.

The success of his business has been,

Goods of such men as Wanamaker &

Clothing trade.
Mr.. \. has suits of almost every quail

prices found in a Clothing House.
He has also special feature in his busi-
ness-an order department. He has an
almost endless variety of Samples from

guaranteeing satisfaction; and every gar
