We hear of novel scrape which oc-
Cured recently in Nemaha county.
Some boys who attend one of the dis
trict schools organized mock court
and tried two of their schoolmates for
horse stealing. The court found the
prisoners guilty, and they were SEN
fenced to be hung. Tt would be sup
posed that here the play ended, and, in
fact, it did, for the two boys were actu-
ally swung up. Outside parties, inter-
fering. rescued the boys just in time to
save their lives. The parents of the in
jured youths were naturally very indig-
nant, and procured the arrest of the Of
tenders. They were tried on charge of
assault and battery, and heavy fines
were assessed. Laurence (Kansas)

A Blazing Meteor.

lFairmont, Mimi, Correspondence st. Paul Globe
Doubtless you have read telegraphic
accounts of meteor that passed over
Northwestern Iowa last Saturday after
noon. Many of our citizens saw the
fiery ball in its aerial flight and plainly
heard the explosion, the noise resembling
the sound of cannon far in the distance.
To-night's mail from Estherville, Iowa,
(thirty-two miles distant from this
place, brings news of the meteor having
strnck terra frma at point three miles
north of Estherville, and about four
miles from the Minnesota line. 1t de-
scended about three p. M, and was wit
messed by hundreds of astonished citi-
zens. Its first appearance was that of
q ball of fire about the size of water
pail, passing at fearful rate of speed,
and leaving long trail of black smoke.
The citizens assembled at once at the
place where the meteor fell, and discov-
cred hole in the grounds blue clay
soil-fourteen feet across, while the
dirt has been scattered in all directions
for twenty rods around. A corps of
shovelers was at once organized, and the
meteor discovered fifteen feet below the
surface of the ground. 1t was about
the size of bushel basket, and weighed
five hundred and thirty pounds. A
half-pound specimen Of the heavenly
visitor is in the possession of the Sentinel

and is invulnerable to the strongest

heavier than iron, or any other metal.
Auditor Whitcomb got small piece as
keepsake, which presents all the ap-
pearance of melted metal. A ring was
beaten out of a small detached particle.
1t is reported that the parties having it
in possession have refused an offer of
5000 for it.

Matrimonial Mishaps.

The dying wish Of Matthew Crooks, q
San Francisco millionaire, was to wit
ness the marriage of his daughter, and
the ceremony was performed ct his bed
side, several weeks before the time that
had been appointed. The deathbed de-
sire of Mr.. Hayden, of the same city,
was to break the engagement OF his
daughter, and he made her promise on
her knees to discard her rlover. Detroit
has had a variation of the common for
eign Count matrimonial episode-thc
husband running away with the brides
morey and jewelry, but proving, after
all, to be a real Count. A young woman
engaged section in q sleeping car at
Pittsburgh, blushingly explaining that
she would be joined by o husband at
Harrisburg. When the train arrived at
Harrisburg a young man got aboard
with clergyman, who married him to
the purchaser of the section, and the
honeymoon tour was at once COM
menced. A rustic couple dashed into a
Washington oyster saloon, and implored
the proprietor to get them married as
soon as possible. They had eloped,
and parents were on their track. The
oyster man not only summoned JUS
tice of the Peace to tie the knot, but
provided stews for, the party after
the ceremony, Miss Locke mar
ried Mr.. Aiken, in Denver, Col, on
his assurance that he was, as she phrases
it, "a wealthy Christian gentleman; = but
within four days she learned that he was
professional horse thief, and parted
from him. Miss Ruggans wedding day

she made herself ready; but in the

Women Physicians Abroad.

The Journal de Ge1,eUe lately an
nounced that among the 361 students.
in the University Of Berne there are
twenty women pursuing the regular
course for the degree of Doctor of Med
icine. This university has just con-
ferred the degree of Ph. d. upon Mile.
Lima Berger, of the Grand Duchy Of
Baden, who passed an exceedingly
brilliant examination. Two other la
dies, one an American the other an
Austrian, took the degree of M. D. at
the same time. But even in places
where we least expect it are the women
slowly gaining in honor and power.
The University of Helsingford, in Fin
land, for example, has conferred the
degree of M D., after Ga very rigid
examination" upon Mile. Heykel. This
is the first Finland woman SO hoHored,
and the occasion was duly noted. A
grand ovation was given to the graduate
by her fellow-students, who at the same
time opened subscription among the
people of Helsingford for fund to es-
tablish scholarship in the university
for young Finnish women who desire to
become physicians or surgeons. The
Rosine Heykel Fund" thus far, is in
a fourishing condition.

A Cold Reception,

John Brinkley is an old skinAint mer-
chant in village not far from the city.
He had clerk whom he persuaded to
sleep in the store at night, thus saving
the expense of hiring a awatchman. Now,
Dave Osborne, the clerk, was very fond
of cards, and was in the habit of in
dulging in four-hand game of euchre,
inviting three of his friends to come to
the store for that purpose and stay
until it was closed. They often played
until midnight One night one of them
was detectedin cheating; he was charged
with it and denied it. Then ensued a
fierce quarrel, and the fellow was uncer-
enormously put out and tola that his
company in the future was to be dis
pensed with. The cheat turned in
former, and Dave was severely repri-
manded, and commanded to discontinue
the vicious practice on pain of being
discharged. Dave promised to behave,
but did not mean to keep his promise.
He selected man in place of the in
former, and managed to have his games
in spite of the old merchant They
played as quietly as though they were all
mutes.
Now, to make sure that his clerk
obeyed his commands, the boss crept
up to the store one cold night, after ten
o'clock, and lightly raped at the back
door. The boys were in the midst of the
game, but Dave winked and motioned
them to be quiet. He waited awhile;
there came another rap louder than
the first. '47
"Who's thereT' asked he, with a
well-feigned yawn.
"Let us in, Dave" said a disguised
voice, which the clerk at once recog.
nized as that of his employer.
What do you want to get in for ?"
demanded he, sleepily.
I" | want social game of cards."
CHOW, look here" said Dave, in a
virtuously indignant tone, "don't you
know that Mr.. Brinkley has forbid
den it2
The old fellow chuckled approvingly
and remained silent awhile, then he
spoke in his natural voice:
Dave, Pm Mr.. Brinkley, so just let
me in; I want my umbrella, it is rain
ing"
" Your voice sounds little like his
voice, but you can't come in on that, SO
be off"
But the old fellow insisted, and Dave
went up stairs with bucket of water,
opened the window and doused it over
his head, drenching him completely.
The next morning, with a perfectly
sober face, he informed his employer
how fellow came and coaxed him to
let him in. But I told him what your
orders were," added he; then he tried
to make me believe it was you, Mr..
Brindley-you yourself, sir. But I
think I drowned that notion out of him,
for 1 emptied bucket of water on him
and went to bed again."
The old man tried to laugh at the
joke, but it gave him chill, SO he
smiled approvingly, and said Dave was
faithful fellow He went no more
on an investigating tour.

Thrift Of the French Working Classes.

The most striking fact with regard to
the French working classes is that near
ly all are possessed of money. How
ever little they earn they save some
thing. Thrift is their great character
istic; in fact, it is said of the French
operatives that they spend less in pro-
portion to their means than any in the
world. Many keep their accumulatiens
in an old stocking secreted in their
houses; others-a daily increasing
number-invest in various securities,
the most popular investment being the
purchase of land. Every Frenchman,
when he can, becomes the owner of the
house in which he lives. Of course he
is greatly aided in this by the French
Land laws and laws of inheritance.
which cut the whole country up into
small holdings. Savings banks with
Government security, building clubs,
sick clubs and friendly societies are
also in favor; but no money is tied up
in trade unions.

How Washington Looked.

Count Axel de Fersen, aide-de-camp to
Rochambeau, in letter written to his
father, in Sweden, dated Newport, Oc-
tober, 1880, now first published in the
Magazine of American History, writes
" l was about fifteen days ago at Hart
ford. had time to see General Wash
ington-this man >illustrious, if not
unique, in our century. His handsome
and majestic, while at the same time
mild. ..'and open .countenance, perfectly
reflects his moral qualities. He looks
the hero; he is very cold; speaks little,
but is courteous and frank. A shade of
sadness overshadows his eountenance,
which is not unbecoming, and gives him
an interesting air."

Science and the Eye.

John J. Andrews, a Philadelphia
merchant, lost the sight of his left eye
twenty years ago, and physicians told
him that there was no cure. The use
less member gave him no trouble until
1877, but thereafter it was occasionally
so painful that he writhed on the floor
until the attack was over. Many of the
best oculists made careful examinations
and were unable to ascer tain the nature
of the disease. Lately he put himself
into the hands of a Philadelphia ply
sician, of whose Investigation he says:
"He blistered me around the eye to
draw out the Inflammation, and at last
he said: Il know what it is not it is not
Inflammation, and that is one point
gained He drew out diseased tooth
and cut out piece of the jaw bone and
did some probing; finally he said: 1t
does not come from a tooth nerve, and
that is another point gained He dosed
me with quinine until he was satisfied
and then he said: 1t Is not miasma,
and that is another poiut gained Last
Thursday he put me into a darkened
room, and, throwing an indescribably
bright light into my eye, looked into my
eye for two mortal hours. At last he
exclaimed: / have the secret Look
ing in through the pupil of the eye he
could see a living cysticercus, or en-
bryo tape worm." This was the first
case of the kind in America, and was
exhibited to most of the physicians Of
Philadelphia. An operation with a
knife removed the creature.

Disappearance of Indiana Forests.
Correspondent Cincinnati Gazettel

Correspondent Cincinnati Gazette.l
During the past thirty years the for
ests of Northern countries have been
rapidly disappearing. They were settled
late, but by an active, progressive peo-
pie who have not been content to till a
few acres. Early and late in summer
and winter the ring of the ak has been
heard in the woods, and every year the
increasing yield of wheat and corn has
proclaimed the disappearance of "prim-
itive forests" AS natural consequence,
we must expect surprising and frequent
changes. DR.. Bushnell, in a sermon on
the power of an endless life, says that
"not all the winds. and storms, and
earth, lakes, and seas, and seasons of the
world have done so much to revoiutionize
the earth as man has done since the day
he came forth upon it, and received do
minion over it," And to this may be
copied the statement of George P.
Marsh, that "the telling of the woods
has been attended with momentous con-
sequences to the drainage of the soil, to
the external confguration of its sur
face, and probably also to local eli
mate; and the Importance of human
life as Transforming power is,
perhaps, more clearly demonstrable
in the influence man has thus ex-
erted upon superficial geography than
in any other result of his material eff
fort. When the forest is gone
the great reservoir of moisture stored
up in its vegetable mold is evaporated,
and returns only in deluges of rain to
wash away the parched dust into which
that mold has been converted. \
1t appears that the overflow of river
banks was much less frequent and de.
structiye than at the present day, or at
least that rivers rose and fell less sud
denly before man had removed the
natural checks to the too rapid drainage
of the basin in which their .tributarie:
originate. We have now
felled forest enough, in many districts
far too much"

Tolling the Bell.

The custom of tolling the church bell
on the death Of a person is followed in
Brockton, as in ye olden time. Few
towns now observe this ancient usage.
It is nearly half century since the
practice was discontinued in Plymouth.
The habit was, as soon as person WIS
known to be dead, to toll the bell for q
time; then, after 3 pause, two strokes
were made for male, or three for
female; next the age of the deceased was
tolled. This was the passing BELL"
originally rung that all people might
pray for the departing soul.
