A Snake Preventing a Murder.

A snake once prevented thief COM
hitting something worse than theft.
A woman of Dude and her daughter
once aighted at the station at Hardee,
and hired conveyance to take them to
the village. When they had gone a
half dozen miles on their way the
driver, pulling up in lonely spot, de-
manded their iewelry; and, upon their
demurring, tied tie pair to the vehicle
and seized the trinkets. Then, be-
thinking himself that dead women could
tell no tales, the rnffian drew out his
revolver; but slipping from his grasp it
fell into ditch. He plunged his hand
in the water to recover his knife, and,
as he clutched it, black snake fixed its
fangs in the would-be murderers hand.
He succumbed to the poison, and in ten
minutes was past hurting anybody.
The women were discovered by some

An Outrage.

John Miles, a Mormon of some con-
siderable standing in Utah, has been
convicted of polygamy and sentenced
to the penitentiary.
Is this thing to be allowed? Are we
to sit calmly by and see man and
brother subjected to such treatment,
and make no protest?
This man Miles is stranger to us,
but the fact of his having been married
is enough to awake in our sypathetic
being melancholy interest.
To know that a man has been mar
ried is to know that he has suffered.
But to know that he has been the un-
fortunate possessor of three very lively
wives at one time is to know that his
life has been sufficiently embittered
without thrusting him behind the bars
of prison. .E
That he was indiscreet, we admit,
bat this should not be looked upon as a
crime. 6a<t 4sii

when we hear his groans as he falls

Deal Gently with the Stomach.

thing to set it right. Not all the nauseous
draughts and bolnses ever Invented can do half
IS much to remeiy it's disorders as f.ew wine

lief, and eventually Danish every dyspeptlc snd

sailowness of the complexion, fur upon the
tongue, vertigo, and those many indescrihable
and dlsagreeahle tensations caused by indiges-
ton, are too often perpetuated by injudicious
doing. An immediate abandonment of such
random and ill-advsed experiments should he
tie irst st"p in the direction of cure: the
next ser, the use of this standard tonic altera-
tive, which has received the highest medical
sanction and won unprecedented popularity.

The Battle of Blenheim.

1t was on a summer evening, old Kas
per's work was done, and he before his
cottage-door was smoking his pipe and
fighting mosquitoes, while by him
sported on the grass his little grand
child Wilhelmine. The little girl saw
her brother Peterkin roll something
smooth and round, which he had found
by the creek, and she exclaimed:
90 grandpa, lookee what Pete's got
Make him give it to me. What is it?
What's it for? Is it poison? Is it good
to eat? Did it grow on a tree, or was
it always that way?"
Old Kasper took it from the boy, who
first made his grandfather promise that
he wouldn't give it to Wilhelmine, and
said, with sigh:
"Dot was some poor feller's cocoa
nut who was killed in dot great victory.
I find already two, dree, several of
dem in de garden we're I vas been
blowing NIT der spade, for many
several dousand people vas killed in
dot great victory what / told you
aboudt."
The curiosity of the children was at
once aroused, and they piled the old
gentleman with questions enough to
drive anybody but grandfather crazy.
They wanted to know what the battle
was about, who fought, how many
fought, how much they got for it, who
told them to fight, who licked, etc.
Sthop ieetle!" cried grandfather,
"und I told you poorly kwick all I
knowed about dot. It was dem En-
glish fellers who tackled Ter French
men and made it most almighty warm
for 'em; but for What dey killed each
other for, by goodness, [ never could
found out. But everybody said," quoth
he, g." it vas famous victory"
And what good came of it at last?
quoth little Peterkin.
Ivy, dot I can't told you" said the
old man, as he wiped away a tear, but
it was famous victory; und you took

Eccentricities of Yankee Shopkeeper

We have recently heard, says the
Boston Herald, of a character in New
Hampshire town whose personality
smacks of individuality and indepen-
dence so strongly that we wonder of
what original spring he has had mo-
nopoly to the exclusion of his more
ordinary neighbors. This man keeps a
general store" He has kept this
same store fol- twenty years, and one
would almost say the same stock, iudg-
ing from it's thoroughly mixed up con-
dition and the liberal accumulation of
dust. He hires no attendance, but
does all the work of buying and selling
himself. Of course he cannot always
be in the store; he must sometimes eat,
like other people. When hehas occasion
to go away, he goes and locks up the
store. He locks up the store when he
is i'll he locks it up when he comes to
Boston to buy goods. In spite of this
irregular proceeding he has acquired
money, and not a little of it, too. But
the really queer thing about the man
and the store remains to be told. In
one corner, more dusty than anything
else in the place, stand two demijohns.
There they have stood since the first
year this man began business. They
were brought by an old countryman to
be filled with molasses and vinegar. AS
he took one in each hand to carry them
to his cart at the door, he said he would
settle for them the next week when he
came down. But the storekeeper had a
better plan, and suggested mildly that
the jugs better be left, too, till the next
week, VIXEN their contents could be
paid for. Gall right" responded the
countryman, and he set the jugs down
and went away. And there these YES
sells have stood ever since, and have
never been emptied.

New lambrequins and curtains are OF

Untrimmed round skirts are pre-

Black Brussels net bonnets bid fair to

Small boys and girls dress precisely
alike except in the bonnet or hat.
Plain skirts, as yet, are worn only by
very fashionable women.
Medium-sized gypsy and di-ectoire
bonnets take the lead at the moment.

scarfs is to drape one just above the
founce which borders the uncerskirt.
Suits of white bunting are trimmed
with bright plaid and bows of cardinal

complicated way, but they are often so
