Romantic Girls"

The papers have recently been unusu-
ally full of accounts of runaway girls,
Opponents, etc. Two young misses, the
children of respectable parents, left Phil
adelphia for New York in search of ad-
ventures, taking assumed names. Cry
ing and terrified, they were arrested at
night by policeman, wandering in one
Of the worst purlieus Of the city, exposed
to dangers the horrors of which they could
know nothing.
Another girl of sixteen, the child of an
eminent lawyer,in New England, escaped
to New York, and besieged the theatres
with entreaties to be allowed to go upon
the stage in leading parts.
The saddest story, however, is that Of q
child of fourteen, living in the suburbs of
New York, whose head was filled. with the
romance found in cheap literary papers.
She made the acquaintance with young
man on the train which brought her to
the city every day to school. =
Her father was wealthy, and the fellow,
who earned paltly sum as brakeman,
hoped to establish some hold upon her by
which he could make money. He was
coarsely bred, illiterate and dishonest,
having recently been an inmate of the
House Of Correction; but the foolish girl
did not look beyond his black mustache
and paste diamond pin. He told her that
he was Russian Of noble birth in dis
guise. They wrote to each other as
"Valdimir" and "Stella, and finally the
infatuated girl married him. .',..,
j. The fact was discovered at once, the
girl brought home and divorce obtain
ed; but her name had been dragged
through the public prints, and her whole
life is befouled and ruined by this one
i1reparable mistake. .5r.s.
Now where shall we look for cause of
these miserable tragedies2 Our girls
read too many frivolous and impure
stories. They promenade the streets alone
too much, They are allowed, if not en-.
couraged, to talk of and to. attempt to feel
love at too early an age. T., ..
On the fashionable thoroughfares Of
every great city, you will see girls in thei,
teens, almost children, who should be in
stories as long as their hair and as gloomy
as their tinger-nails in mourning because
bereft of soap-all the bores who come tt
s}ay five minutes, but talk five hours. @~
Through the editorial and reportoria

Spontaneous Ignition.

If We add to any dry matter, as hay
litter, etc, sufficient water to just moist
ten the mass, and place it under pressure
heat is evolved more or less intense &C
cording to the circumstances connected
Herewith. Thus the gardener produces
heat by means of litter manure, to keep
plants growing, in connection with out
side covering, during our coolest winters.
Thus hay in barns often gets quite hot,
and if access by the oxygen of the air be
had it would at length break out into
flame. Stacks are much more likely to
ignite on account of contact with air than
when hay is in barn. For this, as one
reason, hay may, in fact, be saved in
more moist state IN barn than in stack
In England spontaneous combustion of
stacks and ricks is not extremely unusu-
al: On the contrary, such combustion is
almost unknown in this country, and for
the simple reason that the climate here is
altogether favorable to the curing of hay.
Since hay is more apt to ignite from being
put into the stack moist than from leah
age of rain into the stack after it is built.
In respect to spontaneous. ignition, the
Boston Journal Of Chemist,y says:
''Combustion is an oxidizing process,
and when the carbon and hydrogen of
the hay are in condition to attract oxygen
rapidly, the temperature may reach the
point where flames must spring up, and
then the work of destruction goes on rap
idly. It is precisely the same process
which occurs in strong horse manure, and
which results in sire fanging,'' so called.
It is not possible, however, for the heat
to become intense enough to produce ig-
milton in the manure heap. Whilst the
danger of spontaneous combustion of hay
is not great, still it is possible, and hence
care should he observed in curing and
storing it."

In Richmond, Va, short time ago,
one young gentlemen murdered another
young gentleman for real or fancied in
suit to a young lady. The murderer will
not be hung, but is to be deprived Of the
companship of his friends for two years,
unless pardoned out before that time ex-
pires. The custom of carrying deadly
weapons will not receive much check
from this case.

The Austrian newspapers remark upon
the extraordinary diminution which has
taken place in the number Of marriages
concluded in Vienna. The Discrimination
on the part of the men to marry has risen
to such a pitch that in the district of
Wieden marriage portions provided by
charitable foundations are now actually
going a-begging. There are plenty of
female applicants to claim them, but they
can find no matos. 49,

Matchmaking suits against wealthy men

An Honest Medicine.

Of all medicines advertised to cure
any affection of the throat. chest or
lungs, we know of none we can recon-
mend so highly as DR.. Kings new dis
covery for consumption, coughs, colds,
asthma, bronchitis, hay fever, hoarse-
ness tickling in the throat, loss of
voice. etc. This medicine does posi-
tiUely care, and that where everything
else has failed. No medicine can show
one-half SO many positive and psrma-
nent cures as have already been effect
ed by this truly wonderful remedy.
For asthma and Bronchitis it is per-

The Choir Lecture.-As is very
generally known, the Congregational
Church Choir having in view the pur-
chase of fine organ, have procured
the services of Mr.. Jno. l. D. Bristol
who has achieved a wide reputation
upon the rostrum for pathos and hu-
NOR in his renderings. to deliver one of
his unique entertainments at Witter's
Hall about the middle of March. The
exact date cannot be given at present,
but the time will be announced by pro-
grammes and Autographs distributed
in good season. Mr. Bristol has lect-
ured and recited from the poets in all
the larger towns in the state, and comes
recommended by the best and most
critical people in the state. We pub
fish only two among long list Of ia
vorable notices by the press, laudatory
Of Mr.. Bristols renderings. AS the
end to be gained is one in which all
our people without exception have an
interest, we hope to see big house.
The choir will sing several choice com
positions, making this one Of the best
entertainments ever given in our city.
Read what the types say
The elocutionary reading by Mr..
Bristol at the NJ. e. Church last even
ing was a success. We have heard
nothing but favorable remarks about it.
It is long time since we heard a pro-
fessional reader who could so complete
ly adapt himself equally to the dra-
matte and humorous. His Dream of
Carence'' was finely conceived and
rendered, and "Dot Leedle Yawcob
Strauss" was nowhere behind it. "The
Irish Picnic" his own composition. is
a masterpiece, and will rank with
''Father Pills Collection by Lover.

with another visit. : + x Wuu-

The Methodist Church in this city
was we'll filled, on Tuesday evening,
with an appreciative audience to listen

Bristol's previous readings in this city,

Many of the pieces OF his former pro-
gramme were on Tuesday evening
repeated by special request. Among
these were THE Bells Of Shandon, "

Throughout the rendering OF the en-
tire programme the audience seemed
to be especially interested and enter
