OUR FRIENDS.

Our friends are never lost to view; The soul vision has
 Which always may surpass The sight that vainly would pursue. The feeting forms and shadows dim, That float in mem rvs hall, Nor answer to the call, Though near and close above they seem. Gods heart in love reflects the view; The soul we love casts there, And in our own we bear Love's sweet communion which thence
 grew.

That Bogus Dime.-There arc some people who are real generous on certain occasions, such as temperance meetings, church services, and other gatherings where a collection is taken. So th,s same liber- al spirited gentleman (whoR nature pioba- bly, designed either as a bushwhacker or cobbler of old boots) came to the temper ance meeting here last Friday evening. and he paid the closest attention to the excrci- ses of the hour. He applauded voclferous- ly when Gen. Love said his best things, and a sham tear stoodin his eye at the thrilling recital of rum's terrible destruction and 8 fathers downfall by young Ed. Murphy. He joined loudly in the choruses, and sat with mouth wide open, as he listened to the solo which was rendered by the choIr. It was an occasion he was willing to pay
 for, and that liberally so when the young man who passed the hat came around to his seat, the liberal spirited man, his face all aglow with enthusiasm and generosity, in the greatness of bis heart, dropped Tn with the jingling coppers, bright new dime.

Do they not know for their one scream,
 they are waking up all the babies in the country, filling them with fright, making the homes tumultuous with responsive little screams? If not that, they are startling
 old people, invslids, and others out of sound sleep, and setting hearts to beating that must take long time to get back to rest and sleeping. A stop must be put to this. The public are down on noises. The war has commenced, and must be carried in'" A rica. First, we have had the peltigr' " par rot. It was 8 nuisance. The auiu,aI Was carried into court, and then came the com promlse, the defendant agreeing to hang his pet. not by the neck, but in the cage at the back of his premises. Next, we have the baby carriage business. The old bach elors must submit to the rolling of baby carriages over their heads at night, if 1t quiets the babies. After this. comes the Edison effort to suppress the noise of the elevated railway: rubber paddings, and other devices are tried, for the noise is nuisance. Now let us go for the engineers. What sense is there in making such hideous sounds. and frightening people to death by these midnight yellings. Let us throttle the engineers or the locomotives, or get an in junction or something that shall secure to us our rest, and protect us in our rights.
 At least let there be committee of inves- tigation appointed to ascertain how big a noise it is necessary to raise, to inform a community that freight train is passing through the town at midnight. And can- not some well informed mind get up a pat ent for letting off the information in some more musical manner? X.

How Safes are Blown
ODen.

A criminal lately gave to re
porter of the New York Herald
the following mode of introduc
ing powder within a safe for the
purpose of blowing open the doors;
"What tools did you use in
drilling the holes?" asked the re
porter.
Good cracksmendon'tuse tools, u
said the burglar. "l'Il show you
how to blow open any safe in
New York without any tools.
Just take me to a SAFE"
There happened to be a sale in
Judge Kilbreath's private room,
and the writer acquainted the
magistrate with the prisoners pro.
posal, "By all MEANS" said he,
"let us learn" and in a moment
the room was filled with specta.
tors.
The prisoner knelt teside the
safe, which was locked. "Look," F"
said he, "at this door. 1t fits so
tightly that no instrument can be
introduced in the cracks and pow.
der cannot be inserted. So far so
good. The burglar continued
he, simply sticks putty all along
the crack except in two places,
one at the top of the door and
one at the bottom, where he
leaves about an inch of space un
covered by the putty. At the
lower place he puts a quantity OF
powder and sucks out the air from
the upper place, either by a sue
ton pump, which is the better
way, or by his mouth. The vac.
uum created in the safe draws in
the powder through the small
crack below. The entire work
does not occupy more than five
minutes.

Insurance and Incendia.
riSm.

The Supreme Courto Wisconsin
has just decided a case of great in
terest and Importance to Western
insurers and insured. A law was
passed in that State in 1874, pro-
viding that the amount of in
surance written in q policy "shall
be taken and deemed the true val
ue of the property at the time of
the loss sustained, shall be the
the loss, and the amount OF
measure of damages. The Court
holds that under this statute, in
case of total loss of property
without criminal fault of the as
sured, the value of the property
must be the amount named in the
policy. 1t further holds that the
measure Of damages being fixed
by the statute, the company has
no right 10 show that the assured
sustained q loss less than the a.
mount written in the policy. The
Court recognized the manifest pol
icy of the statute to be to prevent
over insurance, and therefore con-
sidered it wise and wholesome.
Heretofore" says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, commenting on the
decision, "it has been the practice
with companies doing business in
Wisconsin and in most of the
other Western States, to assess
the damage after a loss by fire and
pay only actual damage proved,
without regard to the value spec
ified in the policy" 1t adds that
the effect Of the decision will be
to compel closer inspection and
valuation of property on the part
of agents aud lower appraisal at
the time the risks are taken.

nest simplicity, worked strong
~. even uponthe judge, whose
daily experiences are such as to
render him proof against any
ordinary display Of emotion.
The charge upon which the
man had been committed was a
grave one, that Of highway rob-
berry; and had it not been for
the girls effective pleading a
long imprisonment must have
followed. But so persistent
was she that a consultation was
had with the district attorney
and his consent obtained to
change Of the record, which en-
abled the judge to discharge
the grateful prisoner, who, / am
happy to say, found friends at
once, and is in no further dan
ger Of want. The heroine OF
the affair has since received COM
plimentary letters from ali quar-
ters for her humane and spirited
conduct.
There was a piece of quick
railroad building done in
Brooklyn the other night. A
company had a charter to build
a rapid-transit road from Fulton
ferry, right through the heart
of the city, the only condition
being that a mile of the road
should be built within a certain
time. This time, after having
been several times extended by
the Legislature, was about To
expire, and a very valuable
franchise to become lost. So
the company collected some
four hundred workmen and suf-
icient material, conveyed them
quietly to the spot after night
all, and commenced work.
When the astonished residents
along the route awoke the next
morning there lay a mile of
rack, ties, rails, and joints all
and the new rapid
ransit line had thus, in the
hight, become a fixed fact.

A Deaf Editor.

The editor of the Santa Clara
California; paper is happily deaf,
and thus tells Of his adventures
with a female book agent (the
book was not a female, cfcourse J:
We thought everybody in the
State knew we were deaf, but
once in a while we find one who
is not aware of the fact. A fe.
male bookpeddlar came to the OF
flee the other day. She wished
to dispose of a book. She was a.
lone in this world, and no one to
whom she could turn for sympa-
thy or assistance, hence we should
buy her book. She was unmar-
ried, and had no manly heart in
to which she could pour her suf
ferings, therefore we ought to in.
vest in a book.
She had received a liberal edu
cation, and we could not in conse-
quence pay her less than two dol
lars for book. We had listened
attentively, and here broke in
with, "Whst did you say? We
are deaf" She started in a loud
voice and went through her rig
marole. When she had finished,
we went to get a roll of paper,
and making it into speaking
trumpet, placed one end of it into
our ear and told her to- proceed.
She nearly broke a blood vessel
in her efforts to make herself
heard. She commenced, 81 am
alone in this world" 1T
doesn't make the slightest differ
ence to us. We are a husband
and father. Bigamyis not allowed
in this State. We are not eligi-
bic to proposals." "Oh what q
fool the man ISL she said in a
low tone; then at the top of her
voice: II don't want to marry
you. | want to sell a b o o-k!"
The last sentence was howled.
"We don't want a cook" we re-
marked blandly; sour wife cooks
and she would not allow as
good looking woman as you to
stay in the house five minutes
She is very jealous.
She looked at US in despair
Gathering her robes about her,
giving US glancs OF contempt,
she exclaimed:
81 do believe that if three
hundred FOUNDER were let off a
long side that deaf FOOLS head
he'd think somebody was knock
ing at the door"
You should have heard her
slam the door when she went out;
we heard that.
