The old man Bendigo keeps a pretty
sharp eye on his daughter Mary, and
many n would.be lover has taken a walk
after few minutes conversation with
the hard. hearted parient. The old chap
is stuck this time, however, and cards
are out for a wedding. After the lucky
young man had been sparkling Mary for
six months, the old gentleman stepped
in as usual, requested a private cOnfab,
and led off with:
You seem like nice young man.
and perhaps you are in love with Mary %
Yes, ] am" was the honest reply.
" Haven't said anything to her yet,

"Well, no; but think she recipro-
Gates my affection"
Does, eh Well, let me tell you
something. Her mother died lunatic,
and there is no doubt that Mary has in
herited her insanity"
I'm willing to take the chances "
replied the lover.
% Yes, but you sec Mary has n terri
bic temper She has twice drawn a
knife on me with intent 10 commit
murder"

And you should know that ! have

father.
Well, I'd rather start in poor and
build up. There's more romance in IT,"
The old man had one more shot in
his carbine, and he said
Perhaps ] ought to tell you that
Mary's mother ran away from my home
with a butcher, and that all her rela-
tions died in the poor house. These
things might be thrown up ina after
years, and ] now warn you"
"Mr Bendigo," replied the lover,

A Printers Blunder.

Napoleon III is one OF the faintest
figures in French history. In point of
fact he never reigned and was never
recognized by that title save once--by
the Executive Committee OF the Cham
bers before the accession Of Louis X VIII.
He was known "a the King Of Rome
and latterly as the Duke OF Reichstadt.
His life, after the six years Of royal
babyhOod in the Tuileries, was spent in
Austria with his mothers family. In
1882, at the age OF twenty-one, he died
at Schonbrun, many said of poison. A
weak and eiieminate creature, IL WAS
absurd 20 give him place among the
reigning monarchs OF France. When
the Second Empire WAS established
many wondered at the title assumed by
the Emperor " Napoleon III" IL was
explained then that he desired 10 be
considered n sovereign by legitimate
heredity, and had thus recognized the
claim Of his cousin a. that Of the poor
prince in the Temple WAS recognized by
the BOurbons after the restoration. But
IL appears now, upon the authority
Of the historian Kinglake, that the in
tention Of Louis Napoleon was 10 call
himself simply Napoleon, and that n
printers bluuder vas responsible for
the change. Just before the coup d'etat
a minister Of the Home Office, busy pre-
pairing provincial sentiment, wrote
"Que le mot d'Ordre soft Vive Ma
poleon : :" The printer took the ex-
clamations for III" and 20 the pro.
clamatiOn went out, was copied by the
press and incorporated in public speech
II WAS no time for explanations, and 80
the Nephew Of his Uncle adopted the
title.

DIR. JoHN S. CHRIsus asserts IN
letter to the Omaha Herad that men are
not born criminals, lunatics or drunk
ards. "They may" he says, "inherit
abnormal dispositions which, by un-
healthy habits. become so intensified as
TO override the effort Of nature to bring
them to a healthful state, and they may
thereby become creatures Of delusiOn,
vice or crime. But any inherited dis
eased dispOitiOn can be miugated by
sanitary observances" The Doctor
AYERS that the skulls Of the worst crimi-
nails will average a. we'll in formation ss
the skulls of Church Elders a" have
myself" he continues, examined over
a hundred brains of lunatics and crimi-
nails on Biackwell's Island, New York,
and do not once recOllect Of having OBJ
served any anatomical deiormity that
may not be found among rational and
well behaved persons" Dr. Christison,
whose experience az a medical officer in
New York institutions ought to give
weight to his opinion, concludes that,
philosophically speaking, all men are
insane"

she agrees with him.
