John H.. Clark, just ont of the Ncw-Jersey State
Prison. where he has resided for two years, improves
the liberty which he has regained by arranging
prize fight in Philadelphia with one Jack youth
fui brulser, of Cohoes, New-Y0rk. The mill IS to
take place the police permitting, on the 2lst INST.
That charming character, eX-Aldcrman McMullln,
OF Philadelphia, Is a stakeholder. Now the question
is whether these cool arrangements for break
ing the peace, not made III corner,
but publicly advertised, can be circumvented by
the law. Clark, Jack and McMullln. all OF
whom can be easily secured. should be locked up
AT once. or put under the heaviest possible bonds
10 keep the peace, and not to leave Pennsylvania
for the purpose of pounding each other. As the
law stands, it is sufficient, We fancy, for such
nrompt procedure Ii not the sooner it is amended
tnc better for the cause of decency and humanity.

The following legend is told concerning
the introduction of lace making in Flan-
dors y poverty stricken but pious young
girl was dying of love for young man
whose wealth precuded all hopes of Ear
riage. One night, as she sat weeping at
her sad fate, a beautiful lady entered the
cottage, and, without saying word, placed
on her knees a green cloth cushion. with
its b0bbins filled with fine thread which ON
autumn evenings floats in the air, and which
the people call fills de Ia VERGE The
lady, though of romantic bearing, was prac-
tlcal manufacturer. She sat down in ST.
lence, and with her nimble fingers taught
the unhappy maiden how to make all sorts
of patterns and complicated stitches. As
daylight approached, the maiden had learn
ed her art, and the mysterious visitor disap-
peared The price of lace soon made the
poor girl rich. She married the man of
her choice, and surrounded by large fami.

secret to herself
playing around her knee by the fireside, and
her husband sat fondly watching the happy
group, the lady suddenly made her appear

time addressed her protege in trembling
voice. Here, she said, you enjoy peace

WHY A HORSE BALKED.

A Hartford man recently bought young
horse for 5000, Within a week or Two
the horse began to act badly and finally de-
veloped such balky disposition that the
owner could do nothing with him. Persus.
sion of every kind and finally severe best.
ings were resorted to, but still the horse rs-
mained stubborn. At last, in a desperats
mood, the horse was taken to the original
owner, who bought him back for S25. The
cause of the whole trouble was soon discoy.
cred, The horse had been broken to wear n
names collar, and had ne, er worn any other
kind-his owner had put breast collar on
him after using him little while, and no
one happened to think that this change had
produced the sudden obstinacy in the ami
NAL. Wearing the collar to which he had
been acc stoned, the horse is all right again
and the gentleman who has got him back At
a profit of Sl75 in six weeks considers him
worth fully 5000 again.

ABOUT C0RNS,

'Corns are known as hard and soft, but
their difference is entirely owing to locality.
If corn is situated between the toes, where
it is kept moist by Precipitation, it is of the
soft variety; but if located on the outside of
the toe, where it could get no moisture, it
would necessarily be hard. Corns are pro.
duced by pressure or friction, and are sim.
ply protective growth thrown out for the
purpose of preventing the tissues being in
iured
Corns are sufficiently painful at all times.
but they are the most unbearable when an
accumulation of pus takes place beneath
them. The escape of this drop of pus is
prevented by the hardened and thickeued
cuticle, which must be pouticed, OF soak
ed in warm water, and then removed by a
sharp'pointed knife, The entire corn can
be taken out, with little care and patient
work, without drawing drop of blood.
The application of caustics should be
avoided in the treatment of corns, especially
in old people, as fatal gangrenous infam-
nation may be the result.
Temporary relief from painful sore
corn may readily be obtained by APPLYING
strong carbolic acid. Take the cork out OF
a small bottle of carbolic and apply it (the
cork to the corn. Relief will come at once
and you will be enabled to walk with COM
parative comfort till you can find time to
remove the corn with knife.
Hard corns may be treated as follows
Take thick piece of soft leather or felt
cut hole in the centre. Upon going to
bed at night fill the hole in the centre of
the leather with paste made of soda and
soap wash it in the morning, and re,
peat the same process for several nights, aud
the corn will be removed.

WAITING FOR MILLIONS.

Detroit also has her share OF heirs-expect-
ant, and it is poor day when one can't turn
street corner and upset at least one person
who believes himself entitled to half the
money in the Bank of England. A few Of
the more important cases may be interest
ing.
Henry Smith is the second cousin of
man whose great grandfather was run over
by carriage in which George III, was rid
ing. Henry was lately informed by law
yer that his chance of securing possession
Of about half of England is first.rate. Steps
have already been taken to prove that King
George was drunk when the accident occurr-
ed. ..'. ''"' '.t.
Thomas Delahoe Is one of the CAST Del
ahoes who are heirs to the great Bumum
estate in Scotland. All Thomas needs to do
is to prove that one of his ancestors ran
away to sea, landed in the East Indies, mar
ried native, set sail for America in a canoe,
landed here in good health, and died of hon.
orabe old age. Just as soon as the drayng
business slacks up little Thomas is going
to set about collecting his proofs and build
ing vault in which to store his money.
Mary Won Blum, a servant girl has Just
been left fortune of $3,0O0,000 by the
death of her uncle, German count. There
are some little trifles 10 be attended to be-
fore she eau pay for new bonnet out of
this legacy. The principal trife is to es.
tablsh the fact that her uncle had more
than enough to bury him, and that he ever
heard of or knew of a Won Blum in his life.
Just as soon as she receives her money she
is going to demand an increase of fifty cents
per week in wages, and tell her mistress Just
what she thinks of lady who wants pota-
toes pared thin. t .t '.m. .,8 fol.
Edward Skiles is heir to the vast Lancast-
er estates in England, or will be in a few
days His great-grandfather was keeper of
the hounds for the Duke of Lancaster, and
once helped his Grace out of mud.puddle.
In return he was promised fat reward He
never got it. 1t is the inference that the
duke meant to will him the estate. OF
course he did. Edward stands ready to
prove that his Iather was son of his grand
father, and if those blasted Englishmen
know what's good for 'em, they will at once
set about shipping the Lancaster estate to
Detroit in sectons.--Free Press

GRANDMOTHER'S SOCKS.

To know how 10 ", ar such wonderful nts.
For though she won't own It sometimes, YOU know.

Her fingers move, until-down they 90?
Grandlnn's had nap oh, no! Oh no
We'll after her nap, she forgets YOU see
Where She Intended the heel to be .....
She sometimes makes-one, two or three
Ia single sock, as the case may be ...
SO Grandma's socks are never nt,
But never word shall sh know Of It!
For her Joy and comfort 1t Is to sit,
Day after day, and patiently knit.
And loving hands lay the socks away,
with word OF praise 10 Grandma cray. ...
VINO, over her knitting, continues to pray
She may be useful tin LIES latest day. ......
Much OF our life-wOrk, like Grandma Grays
May prove to be useless but love will praise

FOR Loves sweet sake, through fes neetlng days.
