IL Wasn't Her Hair at ALI.

Yesterday afternoon q couple of gen
tlemen were walking down Main street,
and lady with one of these pitch-for-
ward hats was walking ahead OF them
few feet Said one Of the gents, did
you ever see hair put up in that way
before?"
upon my word I never did. It's
enough to spoil the best hair in the
trade"
"And then the color-why, it is en-
tirely of style"
"Went out of fashion two years ago."
The lady ahead looked mad enough
to eat a fire-plug.
"And just think of charging ST for a
lot of hair like that"
eff had it in my store wouldn't get
rid of it in five years unless some lunatic
came along"
at can't cost less than three hours
work each day to keep the miserable
tousle in order. The woman's husband
that"
And then that lady in front turned
around with fire and fury in her eyes:
"You miserable puppies, I'd inst thank
you to let my hair alone. If you dare
to say another word III scream Police
and have you arrested"
AS soon as the gentlemen recovered
breath, the Pittston man exclaimed:
"Your hair, madam! your hairl"
ayes, my hair. You just keep your
impudent tongue off it."
Il positively declare neither of us
saw you or your hair"
"Then what were you talking about it
for?"
stalking about It'll We were not even
thinking about il"
"Then what were you talking about in
that contemplate style?"
"Why, madam, do business in this
town, and this gentleman deals in hair
in Scranton, and we were conversing
about a lot of hair we saw together in
Philadelphia yesterday, and on which
the dealer tried to cheat him."
"And is that alp"
Upon my honor that is all"
The lady looked little Modified, but
remarked with rather scornful accent:
ct may be SO, but l don't believe one
word of it."
And she sailed off with her nose well
up in the air, while the two greatly
startled gentlemen stepped into the Ma
tional House for something to steady
their astonished nerves.-EEchdn0e

Don't Whip Him.

DIR. johnson said: eff the child
says he looked out of this window
when he really looked out of that, whip
him."
DIR. Johnson was great man, and /
am little woman, but | venture to diff
fer with him. If the child has really
said that he looked out of one window
instead of the other, with desire to de-
ceive you, whipping will do him but lit
tie good. He may be so frightened by
a fogging that he will never tell you a
falsehood again, unless he is entirely
sure that you cannot find him out, but
if you love the child, you want to cure
him of the predisposition to lying, and
this cannot be done by whipping. The
cure must be moral and inward
one. 1t must be effected by the cult
walton of the heart and the mind and
the conscience, and not by beating the
body.
A,child with heart can be taught to
render to its parents the truth and ODE
dience of love; and a child with mind
can be taught not to be dishonorable,
and also to reason on the effect of GER
tain acts Consequently, if your child
has heart or mind, never pound him.
Only when you are quite sure that you
are the parent of little brute, should
you teach him his duty by blows; even
then the blows should be administered
by the hand of love, and not by that of
anger.
1t is doubtful if whipping can benefit
any one. 1t is degrading, and it is in
furious to the health, as all pain is.
Were some one to fog you, you would
find yourself in the doctors hands on
the morrow. Children are more deli
cate than we are, and they suffer more
from a less cause. After you have
whipped your boy, 60 to his room at
night, and see him toss and turn upon
his pillow. Mark his red cheeks
and swollen eyesl Perhaps you whipped
him with the best intentions. and to
cure him of some great moral fault
but it may be that you made mistake
A parent should be able to teach an
intelligent child to know right from
wrong, and to do the right-to keep the
laws of man and God, and to honor his
father and his mother, by practice and
precept, wisely and kindly, and in way
to win his love and respect Beating
him in petulance or anger will have no
effect upon his moral nature, except to
dwarf it.

Club Life in New York.

In the vestibule of the Union Club,
says the New York Times, sits installed
a porter, who opens and shuts the
doors, receives all letters for the various
members except those brought by the
postman, and sees that no improper
person enters the sacred edifce; from
the interior of the vestibule small
waiting-room branches off to the right,
devoted to the reception of visitors.
On the first or ground floor are spacious
reading and smoking rooms, the bar,
the office, and the cloak-room. On the
second floor, the biliard-room, card
room, and library. On the third floor,
the public and private dining
all luxuriously fitted up with single
eye to comfort, and without any at
tempt at elaborate establishment. The
kitchen is above the dining-room on the
fourth floor. This arrangement does
away with the unpleasant odor of cook
ing, which so often permeates houses
where the kitchen is in the basement.
An elevator running from the ground
floor to the dining-room is constantly
in operation. The card-room is fire.
quented by but small portion, even of
those members who take all their meals
at the club and make it their home.
Whist, euchre, all tours, ecarte, bezique,
cribbage and picquet only can be
played. Bets are strictly limited.
Members must not have at stake, direct
ly or indirectly, more than the following
amounts on any of the above-men-
toned games. Any violation of this
rule renders the offender liable to ex-
pulsion: Whist, twenty dollars game,
or five dollars point, when playing
what is known as the English game
euchre, five dollars game Ia slam to
count as two'games) with privilege of
betting in addition ten dollars on the
usual rubber of either three or four
games; all tours, five dollars game;
ecarte, five dollars game; bezique,
two cents point-two hundred addi-
tional points on each hand. Betting up
to these limits is rather the exception
than the rule. The games chiefly
played are short whist at five dollars
game. and euchre at one dollar game.

1t would seem to be a truth appreciable
by all, and especially by professors of the
healing art, that to remove the disease, not
to alleviate its symptoms, should be the
chief aim of medication. Yet in how many
instances do we see this truth admitted in
theory, ignored in practice. The reason that
Hestetter's Stomach Btters is successful in
so many cases, with which remedies pre-.
viously tried were inadequate to cope, is
attributable to the fact that it is medicine
which reaches and removes the causes
of the various maladies to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver
complaint, govt, rheumatism, disorders OF
the bowels, urinary affections and other
maladies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by 1t. 1t goes to the fountain
head. 1t is really, not nominallv, radical
remedy, and it endows the system with an
amount OF vigor which is its best protection
against disease.

The Condition of English Peasants.

The London correspondent of the
Tribune, in speaking of the condition
of the English peasant, says of him:
"He and his progeny do not live; they
merely exist. Poets have sung and NOR
alists sentimentally descanted upon the
British peasant; but strip him Of his
romance, and look at him truthfully
and soberly, and he presents a melan-
choly spectacle. He is merely beast
of burden; his condition is little better
than that of serf, if indeed it is as
good. He grovels in poverty and
wretchedness-often with an INSULT
cheney of food. And scarcely is he able
to dream of any more elevated state of
existence, for the social forces by which
he is beset almost entirely preclude him
from breaking through the bonds which
hold him. He is drudge; his ifeis a
life of drudgery; and, from his cradle to
his grave, it would be difficult to see
where his existence could. be illumined
by ray of prosperity or hope. At the
lowest rung of the ladder of labor, he is
forced to remain in his thralldom, both
intellectual and social, which the GUS
tom of ages has imposed upon his class.

Anibidextr0us.

There is something more significant
than most persons think in the cleft"
hand. We give all our nice work to
one hand, and thus train it to strength,
CELEBRITY and skill, and leave the other to
feebleness and awkwardness. Indeed,
children are generally trained to one
handedness almost from infancy. If
both hands were trained alike, they
would be alike. Even the toes can be
trained to the dexterity of the fingers
In musical education both hands are
equally trained for the keys of the piano
and organ.
Now in many employments much
would be gained by being able to use
either hand with equal facility, and
often both at the same time Brown
Sequard, one of the most eminent of
modern writer's ON physiology, urges
that children be educated on both sides
of the body equally; and Agassiz adj
vised his pupils to train both sides
alike, notwithstanding they had been
brought up to the special use of one
side Most adults would find it difficult
to change the old habit, but with the
young it would only be matter of care
and attention for a comparatively short
time

RICHMOND, VA, July 3.-One ofthc
most shocking burning accidents that
has happened in this city for many years
occurred at the residence of Mr. Thomas
Boiling, on West Franklin street, at a
late hour last night. Miss Lou Boiling,
daughter Of that gentleman, in endeay-
oring to light taper with piece OF
paper. communicated fire to her dress,
and Mrs. Thomas Boiling, Jr., in an
effort 10 extinguish the fire, was enyel-
oped In flames. The cries of the two
ladies brought to their assistance the
husband Of the last named lady, and
Mr.. Hudgins. bOarder in the house
These gentlemen made every effort to
save the lives of the two ladies, and in
so doing the hands and arms OF Mr..
Boiling were so badly injured that he
will probably lose the use Of them. Mr.
Hudglns was severely burned about the
shoulders and breast. Miss Lou Boil
ing was shockiDsly burned, from the
effects OF which she died this evening,
after the most circulating suffering
Mrs. Boiling was also seriously injured,
but will probably recover. The deceas'
ed was about 90 years old. Mrs. Boil
ing is daughter of the late Patrich

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The interior
Department is to-day in receipt OF off
ciai information that white men, during
the past few weeks, have stolen about
700 horses from the Indians at REQ
Cloud agency and run them across the
Nebraska line. The State authorities
are doing nothing to prevent similar
raids upon the Indians property, and
the military authorities, on account OF
the prohibitions Of the posse comitatus
law of last year, stand by without IN
terfering or pursuing the marauders.
although the stolen horses are driven
right past Camp Sheridan aud Camp
Robinson on the way to market 10 the
horse thieves corrals. The milan
agent, having no armed force at his
command, is powerless to stop the dep
relations, and for the present they seem
likely TO continue. The Indians. not
withstanding their keen sense of injury
arising from this want Of adequate pro-
lection, manifest no symptoms OF IN
subordination, but remain entirely
peaceable, and are beginning to devote
themselves to farming. The Spotted
Tail Indians within the pas. two years
have lost several thousand horses in The
same way.

A case Of moral insanity came up ii

wife and family as well as any man ii
the city, but sometimes when look a

The man spoke as coolly and dellber
ately as if he were talking about tn
weather.
He was taken before Judge Dupuy II
the morning, and the case was continues
until 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, In tn
meantime his friends and relations wer'
notified Of what Mr.. Hildebrand hat
done, and they came in hot haste dow
to the City Court. The wife and sew
eral other relations assured Judge Du'
puy that they would take care OF thu
unfortunate man, and begged earnestl,
that he might not be committed to awal
an inquest OF lunacy. The Judge there

Mr.. Hildebrand is man OF abou
ilty>four years, apparently. His com
plexion is almost parchment like, an(
he has 4 sad expression upon his coun
tenance, but not so sad as to indicate
insanity. He has been working as
clerk for the L. and n. railroad compa'
ny for several years, and received a very
good salary.
Hildebrand is said to have been drink
ing considerably Of late, but whethe
this was sufficient to produce menta
alteration or not is doubtful. His VIII
