White Mountains.

A terrible accident, involving
q wonderful escape from Instant death
occurred at Mount Washington on
Sunday to Sergeant o. S. NJ. Cone of
the United States Signal Corps. The
Sergeant has for several weeks been
suffering with neuralgia and had been
ordered TO Washington for treatment.
No opportunity for descending tn c

on the mountain, and Sunday. Leav-

ed to descend upon a sled construct
ed to run on the railway track. The
first mile was accomplished safely in
about four minutes, and the steep
grade of "Jacob's Ladder" was reach
ed. Here Cone took charge of the
sled, starting alone, with a light
trunk fora load. His velocity OF
twenty miles an hour, at which he
crossed the summit, suddenly increas-
eu to forty miles, and losing his bal
ance he was thrown from the track a
distance Of 100 feet, the trestIe work
being some twenty feet high. He
struck upon his head and shoulders
and when found by Murphy was un-

hair is thiekened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that row
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sed;.

consequently prevent badness. The

clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can. only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.

Going Through College,

Theodore Parker never received diplo-
ma. though he pursued the full college
course at Harvard. Nor did he ever recite
a single line to professor. His father
was poor, and could not afford to pay the
college expenses but Theodore was
bound to have liberal education. One
evening lie said:
Father, | have entered Harvard Col
lege.''
How did you prepare p asked the as
tonished parent.
Il studied by myself evenings after the
days work was done. and mornings before
work. lie was then assisting his father
on the flriti.
'But cannot pay your expenses in col
lege."
IL know that; mean to stay at home
and keep up with my Glass;
And he did more thah keep up with the
class; part of the tine he worked for his
father ut home, and part of the time he
taught school, paying his father eleven
dollars month to hire another hand in
his place. He passed the examination sue
cessfully, but was not given degree, be-
cause he had been a nonresident. and had
paid no fees. Subsequently degree was
offered him, on condition Of paying the
customary fees; but money was scarce,
though energy and scholarship were am-
pie, and he was obliged to decline it.
What a reproach is this example to those
who, having everything to help them in a
college course, waste time and advantages!

A Materi8lized Hole.

Take sheet Of stiff writing paper and
fold it into tube an inch i'm diameter. Ap-
ply it to the right eye and look steadfastly
through it, focusing the eye on any con-
ven-nt object; keep the left eye open.
Now place the left hard, held palm up
ward, edgeways against the side of the
tube, and about an inch or two above its
lower end. The astonishing effect will be
produced of a hole, apparently the size OF
the cross section of the tube, made thro
the left hand. This is the hole in which
we propose to materirliZe another and
smaller hole. AS we need a genuine aper1
ture. and it would be incOnvenient to make
one in the LETT hand, let sheet of white
paper be substituted therefor and similarly
held. Just at the part of the paper where
the hole equaling in diameter the orifice of
the tube appears to make an opening a
quarter of an inch in diameter. Now stare
intently into the tube; and the second
hole. defined by its Indifference of illumin-
alton, will be seen floating in the first hole,
and yet both will be transparent. The
illusion-for Of course it is one Of those
odd pranks our binocular vision plays up
on us-is certainly one of tile most curl
Gus ever devised. Besides, here is the ac-
t,lal hole clearly visible, and yet there is no
solid body to be seen to define its edges.
1t is not mere sport of light, because if a
page of print be regarded, the lines within
the boundaries of the little hole will not
coincide at all with those surrounding it
and extending to the edges of the large
apparent aperture. Each eye obviously
transmits an entirely different impression
them, lands us in the palpable abb
surdity Of materialized hole.

Unhappy Marriages.

The universal expectation of married
people is, that their lives will always be
happy ones. Deluded dreamers! They
imagine that they are different from other
people, and that when they enter the por-
tails of matrimony, love, peace, and pros
perity will ever be their attendants. Such
had better consider themselves The same
as others, but form iron resolutions to do
differently from other married people
resolutions that will keep them from the
dangerous coasts on which so many have
been wrecked and ruined. Unhappy mar
riages depend upon many causes. Previ-
Gus to marriage, many try to appear more
intellectual, more amiable, or more accom-
plished than they really are. Depend upon
it, that love Brought into existence by a
moonlight stroll, strengthened by deceit
and fashionable display, and finally con-
summated through the influence of intrig-
liing friends will fade in after life almost as
fast as the lowers which compose the

The New York papers would better SUBJ
serve the cause of good morals and public
decency by pointing out, if they can, few
of the good points in the career of the late
John Morrissey, than by slobbering over
his memory and lauding him as an exam

ginning to end. Prize fighting, SO far
from being the worst. aas, in reality; the
best of his occupations. When he aban-
doned the ''ring," he took to something
worse-the gambling he'll. Up to the day
of his death he violated the laws of the
land. 1t may be true that he was an hon

s1me he won this title chiefly by contrast
with the men who were associated with

A Hlack Hills Love Serane,

Deadwood, Dakota, May 1O.-This after
noon Herman Haussler, a tonsorial artist
about ~ years OF age. eloped with Miss
Hattie Allen, II years of age. Both par
ties resided in Gayville, a few miles from
here. Hattie's mother, accompanied by an
officer. both on horseback. have gone in
pursuit of the runaway. The intimacy be-
tween Herman and Hattie has lasted for
several months past. during ,hich time
the old lady constantly fought against it,
and lately she made such violent threats as
to cause Haussler 10 close his barber shop
for several days. 1t is rumored that the
lovers are secreted in this city, awaiting a
more favorable opportunity to skip. AS
this is the first sensation of this character in
the Hills, it seems to be hugely relished.
