The process of tanning human skin has
just been accomplished at morocco fac
tory at Lynn, Mass. Two skins, about
eighteen inches square, OF white and black
persons who were hanged, were furnished
from Boston disecting room. The skin
as it now appears, resembles piece of
French kid. We often wondered how we
could get square with soine of our deIin-
quents, but this solves the problem, If we
don't have few ton of kid-no, tough sole
leather to sell one of these days, it will not
be our fault.

A genuine case of horrors has recently
startled New York A little quadroon girl
about nine years of age has been placed in
charge of the authorities for attempting to
kill the ladies with whom she lived, by
strangling and sucking their breath while
they slept This little rampire, when ques-
toned as to her reasons for attempting to
take the lives of her friends, declared she
meant to kill them SO as to get possession Of
the jewellery and money she supposed they
possessed. This is one of the most horri-
BILE stories ever published and is almost be-
yond belief.

Dillon O'Brien in letter to the st. Paul
Globe urges christisns not to go to Bob
Ingersolrs lecture In closing his letter he
says:
Col. Ingersoll has perfectrigh to come
here, ia hire han and blaspheme all he
has mind to- So have christian men ano
women the right to refuse to listen to him.
Self-respect and common decency, not to
speak of higher motives, should make them
do so. Leave him TO the avowed atheists
and infidels, and he will have but "a beg
carly account of empty boxes"

May, the total rainfall at ST. Paul for the

Judging from the numerous enquiries
for farm machinery and the large number
of orders received by the agents farm
ers anticipate an abundant harvest, indeed
the growing crops look finer than for many
years. Wheat has stooled SO as to cover
the ground nicely, the young plants look
very thrifty and vigorous, and should there
be no set back the yield will be immense.

The Democratic house and Senate COM
mittees have decided to recommend the
immediate passage of a bill, making the
usual appropriations for the support OF the
army, the bill, however, to contain pro-
vision that no portion of the money shall
be used for pay, transportatich or subsist-
ence of troops used at the polls. The leg
islative executive and judicial appropria-
tion bill Will also be recommended te pass,
in substantially the same terms and amounts
as last years bill, except that no provisions
will be made for paying supervisors and
deputy marshals of elections. In view of
the fact that the Presidents veto message
makes no comment on the sections of the
vetoed appropriation bill-providing for
the amendments of the law concerning the
drawing of jurors and test oath The COM
nittecs have decided to recommend the
passage of a separate bill embodying those
sections.

Rev. Father RYAN, ant originally appeared il
the HandsborU' (MissI g aZette.
The SD adow of the mountain falls athwart
the lowly plain,
And the shadow of the cloudlet hangs
above the mountains head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear
the shadow of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the
anguished tear is shed.
For no eyes have there been ever without
weary tear,
And those lips can not DO human which
never hesved sigh;
For without the dresry winter there has
never been year,
And the tempests hide their terrorA In
the calmest summer sky.
So this dreary life is psssing-aEd We move
amid its maze,
And we grope along together, half in
darkness, half in light;
And our hearts are often hardened BY the
mysteries of our ways,
Which are never all in shadow and
never wholly bright.
And our dim eyes ask beacon, and our
weary feet guide,
And our hearts of all life's mysteries seek
the meaning and the key:
And cross CLEANS DER our pathway, on

And He answers all our yearnings by

THE WIFE OF HENRY CLAY.
"reminiscences by George W. Ranck, in
the Lexington Transcript.

the Lexington Transcript.
What Ashland would have been
but for Mrs. Clay, the good Lord
only knows. for her husband was at
the capital of the nation more than
half his time. She attended to ev-
erything, including FIVE sons, VINO,
according to their old teacher,
Amos Kendall, were not the meek>
est Of the lambs that gamboled at
Ashland.
She managed the farm, with its
crops and live stock, her household
affairs, a large family of children,
and not a few negro servants, as
well as to assist largely in keeping
up Mr.. Clay's fortune, which was
constantly subjected to heavy drains.
She often pulled the finest of her
vegetables with her own hands,
and sent them, with butter, milk,
and fruit regularly to market to be
sold. She often said, "My chill
dren laugh at me Tor selling such
things, but they never object to the
money l get for them" Her treat
ment of her slaves will be judged
from her custom of rewarding them
at the close of the week in proper
ton to their industry and good con
duct. Saturday evening at Ash
land, with the "darkeys," was
synonymous with Mrs. Clay's bust
nes-table covered with little piles of
silver money. She was always
kept well posted about her hus-
bands business and private affairs,
and she was SO 'spunky" that Mr..
Clay always consulted her before
fighting duel. The wife of "the
Great Commoner" cared nothing
for general and fashionable society, |
and it was fortunate, under the cir
cumstamces, that she did not.

Weakness, Sterility, Leucorrhna, arising
from internal liberation, and Uterine
disease, Syphilitic and Mercurial dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Emaciation,
General Debility, and for Purifying the
Blood.
This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
