was given to Curtin's counsel in each
county by no less person than a
Democrat holding the office of law
Judge, who, Mr.. Curtin has advertised
in the public prints-see Gath's letter
in the Press of Monday last-as the
counsel who is making up his case.
That the great "war governor ="
should resort to such subterfuges to
gain a seat in congress, after the people
have stamped their seal of condemna-
ton upon him, is humiliating, indeed,
and can only be accounted for upon
the ground that since he turned his
back on the friends that once loved,
honored and respected him, and Joined
the Democrat party, and now affiliates
with those who used to curse him for
his Republicanisln, he has become not
only reckless, but lost to all sense of
shame and gratitude, and is ready to
grovel i'm the dust and knock at the
back door of the Democrat party
for office. His desire for place is
more forcibly illustrated, perhaps,
by the remark of prominent Dem
ocrat of Bellefonte to the writer
of this paragraph before he was nomi-
mated for congress; "Why" said the
Democrat in reply to an interrogatory
regarding Curtin, ''if the door of
heaven and the door of congress were
placed side by side, both thrown open
and st. Peter were to give him his
choice which he would enter, he would
dart into the latter instantly!'

Gov. Williams of Indiana escorted
two ladies to the Indianapolis Opera
House to see "Romeo and Juliet"
He had not provided himself with
reserved seats, and none were left for
sale; SO he appropriated three good
ones, in spite of an usher's remon-
strances. The holder of the coupons
soon arrived, and the routed Governor
next placed his party comfortably in a
box. But the box had been sold, too,
and the owner insisted on his rights.
Then "Blue Jeans" left the theater,
declaring that he was disgusted with
these newfangled notions about re-
serving seats.

AT Pittsburgh, Stephen Grant,
young man, had his foot injured by
piece of iron falling upon it in roll
ing mill where he worked. Not much
notice was taken oft, but few even
thgs afterward, as he was sitting in the
house playing violin, he suddenly
remarked that he felt his jaws closing,
and asked his mother to get a poker
and place it in his mouth in order to
keep them open. His mother was
about to put her finger in his mouth
to open it when the young man pre-
vented her, and in an hour expired.

closed, was: Rowell 500 miles, $50
yards; Ennis AIS miles; Hartman
45O miles, three laps and 14o yards.
The men were off the track during the
six days as follows: Rowell, Ssh.
43m. sos; Ennis Sch. 2lm. 33s: Harri-
man Ssh. I'm. 2ls, AT the beginning
of the match it was decided that ST.
600 should be set apart out of the re-
ceipts for the man or men who failed
to cover $50 miles. O'Leary who
broke down early in the contest, will
thus receive $1,000. Rowell gets so
per cent. of the receipts, Ennis 80 and
Hartman 20.

The most terrible calamity of
modern times is the inundation of the
town of Szegedin, Hungary, by the
river Thesis which flows through the
town. The horrors of the situation
are said to have baffied all description,
the town being almost entirely under
water. Over $4,000 people are out of
house and home, while hundreds if
not thousands have perished. Money
and provisions have been sent to the
survivors from all the neighboring
places. The Emperor Francis Joseph
will forego his intended visit TO Pesth
to receive congratulations on the oc-
casions of his silver wedding. He
desires that the money intended for the
festivities. on that occasion shall be
distributed among the sufferers by the
flood. The emperor and empress also
give 10000 fiorins from their private
purse.

-Williamsport, March l3. - City
Treasurer Longsdorf yesterday re-
ceived an order from Judge Elwell, of
Columbia county, before whom the
now famous bond case is being abju
dicated, directing him to apply the
sum of $4,000 towards the payment of
overdue interest on bonds known as
series A, instead of the entire amount
now in the treasurer's hands, which
amounts to S15,90O. Judge Elwell's
Iecent mandamus ordered the treasurer
to apply the whole amount on this
payment which would have COM
pletely blocked the wheels of our
municipal machinery. The balance
of the money is to be used in meeting
accrued and current expenses.

The deepest mine in the world
now worked is said to be the Adalbert
lead and silver mine in Austria, which
is $3.50 feet deep. The next is the
Viviers coal mine in Belgium, p S47
feet. 1t was sunk to the depth of 8 ,5S6
feet, but, no coal having been found,
the working is at the former level.
The deepest coal mines in England
are the Dunkirk colliery in Lancashire
1924 feet, and the Rosebridge in the
same locality, 2,45s. The deepest
mine in this country is the Yellow
Jacket of the Comstock Lode. 1t is
now $500 feet below the surface at the
mouth of the main shaft, and 1888
feet below the Gould & Curry crop
pings. The Savage stands second on
the list, and the Imperial the third,
both being nearly as deep as the
Yellow Jacket.

The contradictory testimony of
experts as to the existence of poison in
the bodies of dead persons has puzzled
many jury. Now comes Prof. Selmi
of Bologna, with the discovery that,
in the decaying bodies of persons who
have died natural death, he finds a
substance so closely resembling well
known poisons as to be readily mis-
taken for them. In his explanation
he shows how similar these animal al
kalies are to the vegetable poisons used
by criminals. His tests to distinguish
between them are hardly less valuable
than the discovery itself; and if all
that Prof. Selmi pretends to have
found be true, change in the manner
of conducting certain class of crimi-
nal trials may follow.

Tive Gaarades.

Lady Spencer, in one of her pleasant,
unaffected letters to Garrick, says they
have been writing charades at Devon
shire House, and her daughter has "out-
done" him--inclosing one on the word
"blockhead" as specimen:
''My first no life or feeling blesses
Ny second every sense possesses,
And nothing more atfronts my second
Than when it like my first is reckoned
United they being show,
The greatest nuisance that we know"
This is very tolerable for Duchess of
10, but the most elegant ever composed,
for its brevity, was an impromptu of
which she WIS the theme. Calling one
day on fox for charade: "On what
sGolectsW he asked. "The happiest of all
subject-myself," was the laughing re-
ply. Taking up an envelope, Fox scrib-
bles these lines on the back:
my first is myself, in very short word
My seconds a plaything and you are my third;"
the answer being idol" Another time,
the conversation during dessert turningon
the skill of the French in emblems, the
Duchess said she thought it would be i'm
possible to find an emblem for her. Fox
instantly handed her cluster of grapes
with the motto "Je plais jusqu' d
| riyresse."

[Fraser's Magnzine.1

Readers of "Quentin Durward" will
readily remember the Importance which
Louis XII of France is said to have at
tached to the warnings Of his astrologer,
but they may posi- iy have overlooked
the exceptional instance in which COM
mon sense prevailed over superstition.
The King, according to the story, had a
mind to hunt one day, and, being doubt
full of the weather, inquired Of his astrol-
oyer whether it would be fair The sage
answered with confidence in the attrma-
tive. At the entrance OF the forest the
royal cortege was met by charcoal man,
who expressed to some menials of the
train his surprise that the King should
have thought of hunting on day which
threatened tempest.
The collier's prediction proved true.
The King and his court were driven from
their sport well drenched, and Louis,
having heard what the collier had said,
ordered the man before him. GLOW were
you more accurate in foreteliing the
weather. my friend" said he, ethan this
learned man" 81 am an ignorant man,
Sire" answered the collier, ''was never at
school, and can not read or write; but |
have an astrologer of my own, who shall
foretell weather with any of them. Its,
with reverence, the ass who carries my
charcoal, who always when bad weather
is approaching, points forward his ears,
walks more slowly than usual, and tries
to rub himself against walls; and it was
from these signs that | foretold yester-
days storm" The King burst into fit
of laughing, dismissed the astrological
biped, and assigned the collier a small
pension to maintain the quadruped,
swearing he would never in future trust
to any other astrologer than the charcoal
mans ass.
Indications such as those here spoken
of have been familiar to country folk
from the earliest times; for it is quite
certain that the lower animals feel ap-
preaching changes of weather in way
which we can very imperfectly under
stand. Still, even among ourselves, there
are many who are, to some extent, sensi-
BILE of these changes, and the sensation
is generally unpleasant. Old wounds are
painful before rain, the head aches before
thunder; or there is feeling of uneasi-
ness difficult to explain, but none the
less real. So also with animals; they ca
reer wildly about the field in restless ex-
citement, they scratch themselves in the
hedges, they rub themselves against the
wall, or their annoyance finds vocal ex-
preston, as in the agonizing yell of the
aristocratic peacock, or the discordant
hee haw of the plebeian donkey. Such
signs are not to be neglected by the care
full student Of weather, although they
can not be counted as strictly scientific,
The evidence is of the nature of hearsay,
and can only be accepted conditionally.
