Bonnets with lightning Conductors

In an old fashioned book we are told
that, soon after the invention of the light
ming rod, the ladies of Paris, France,
thought it fashionable as we'll as safe, to
wear a bonnet ornamented at the very
top with thread of bright metal. To
this was attached Il little silver chain
which reached down the back over the
dress and touched the ground 1t was
believed that the lightning would be
caught by the metallic thread, and then
would be SO polite as to run along the
chain down into the earth without harm
ing the Wearer Of the bonnet
At about the same time, too, umbrellas
made of silk were fitted with wires and
chains in a similar fashion,-so that the
holders might enjoy cozy walks during
thunder-storms, | suppose, without get
ting scared.
| do wonder if the lightning really
cared bit for all their patent arrange

If the devil has a fair chance at YOU
once he will be sure to look your way

effect that when the wolf gets one lamb

The Prince Napoleon's Death raralleled

Unfortunate as was the death OF Young
Louis Napoleon ut the hands of saEages,

both were born after long and anxious

selfish, cruel and treacherous Vet their
fathers had magnificent success up to

Years ago, into wholesale grocery in
Boston walked a tan, muscular looking
man, evidently a fresh conner from some
backWoods town in Maine or New Ilamp-
shire. Accostlng the first person he met,
who happened to bcthe merchant himself.
he asked:
'Nou don't want to hire a man in your
store, do you ,"
'Well," said the merchant, II don't
know: what can you do2"
''Do n said the man, II rather guess |

''Well, if was to hire man, it would
be one that could lift well, Il strong, wiry
fellow one, for instance that could
shoulder sack of coffee like that yonder,
and carry 1t across the store and never
lay it down"
There, now, Cap'tin, said the country
man, 'that's just me. can lift anything

'lll tell you," said the merchant; "If
you will shoulder that sack Of coffee and
carry it across the store twice and never
lay it down, | will hire you a year at 500

"Done, said the stranger, and by this
time every clerk in the store had gather
ed around waiting to join in the laugh
against the man, who walking up to the
sack, threw it across his shoulder with
perfect ease, as it was not extremely
heavy and walking with it twice across
the store, went quietly to a large hook
which was fastened to the wall, and
hanging it up turned to the merchant and
said:
There, now, it may hang there till
doom's day, | shall never lay it down.
What shall 90 about mister? Just give
me plenty to do and 500 per month and
it's all right The clerks broke into
laugh, and the merchant, discounted yet
satisfied, kept his agreement, and to day,

A CASE OF FoRclBLE EJEcTmEx1.

Dnngherty, the ..king of Crow Crook, not
wholly satisfied with r%eigning over his own
domains, has commenced to slop over upon
the territory belonging to adjoining agen-
cies. His initial exploit in this direction
has resulted in the removal of Kerwin
Wilson from his home and his forcible
ejectment from the Indian country. Mr..
Wilson resided upon land which came
under the jurisdiction of Capt. Schwan and
in order to reach him it was necessary
for Dougherty to go to the Indian
department with a falsifed statement,
w%hereupon the commissioners issued orders
to Capt. schwan to effect his ejectment.
Dougherty himself had no personal griev.
ance against Wilson, but the well-knowu
Mrs. Duggan had, and because of it a man is
turned from his home and deprived of hi
property. Mr.. Wilson has occupied s
ranch on Antelope creek for a number O
years. He located there before the country
wa made an Indian reservation and has 8
priority claim thereto. He is an inofen.
sive and peaceable citizen and has commit.
ted no efense against the laws of the Indian
country. Now that he has been driven from
his home and cast adrift upon the world by
an arbitrary edict, he proposes to turn hi
individual attention to the man and the
woman who have been the cause of his
misfortune.
