couId not be seen and was situated
on the border of a lake When he
retired on the evening before bis
houso was far away tlom any poud,

next morning his surprise can be
Imagined when instead Of his garden,
an immense sink, fifty or sixty yards
square, filled with water, running

INFLUENCES or MARRIAGE,

Marriage has great refining and
moralizing tendency Where man
marries early. and uses prudenco 10
selecting suitable companion, he is
likely to lead virtuons, happy life.
sBut in an unmarried state ali allnr-
ing vices have tendency to dra~
him away Tho penitsntiary re
ports show large share of drunk
ards are bachelors. The more mar,
ried men We have the fewer crimes
there will be. An unmarried man is
but half perfect being, and it can
not be expected that in this imper-
feet state he can keep straight in
the path of rectitude any more than
boat with one oar cam keep a
straight course. In nine cases out
OF ten where married men become
drunka ards, or where they commit
crimes against the peace Of the com
munity, the foundation of these was
laid while in single state, or where
the wife is, as sometimes the case an
unsuitable match. Marriage chang
es the current of mans feelings
and give him q centre for his
thoughts, his affections and his acts.

A HEAVY Forfeit FOR MARRYING
Phineas Hough, of Philadelphia, who
died several years ago, left house
and lot in that city, with all its fur
niture, and also the interest of $40,
900, to his wife, Elizabeth Lynn
Hough, for life, il she should 50 long
remain his widow, but in case of her
marriage then the estate was to go
to the testator's father. Mrs. llough
married Alexander M. Bonbright on
December 10th, 1875. When the
trustees came to file their account
the father asked that the $4,000 be
awarded to him, because the widow,
by remarrying, had broken the con~
dition on which she held the money.
After hearing the point argued Judge
Hanna sustained the father's view
and awarded him the $50, 600.

AN INCOME WITHOUT CARE.

By the combination method of operat-
ing in stocks q handsome income can
be secured without care. Capital in
any amount, from $40 to $50, 600, may
be used with equal proportionate sue
cess. By this system Messrs. Law
renee & Co., Bankers, N. ", pool the
orders of thousands of customers, of
various sums, into n vast amount,
and cooperate them under the most
skillful management, dividing profits
monthly. Each shareholder thus OBJ
tains all the advantages of the largest
capital and experienced skill, and the
percentage of profits is very great; 800
will pay 500 in 80 days; $3.50 will re-
turn S1,S25, or Upper cent. on the stock,
and so on, as the market varies. A
prominent publisher of the Rock Island
(In.) Daily argus, made S104.15 on an
investment Of 1901 90, IN October. Hun

Lady Hor,emauship.

In dlsmounting the horse, a lady, if
alone, should slip the rein to the right
hand, and take hold Of the off crutch
of the saddle, raise the knee over the
left crutch, clear her skirt well from
the saddle, at the same time disengag-
ing the stirrup foot, change the right
hand to the left crutch, turn the body
to the right, lay hold of the horse's
name with the left hand, spring clear
from the saddle, alighting on the toes,
with the knees bent, and face to the
horse's withers, keeping hold with both
hands until firm on her feet. If she
have an assistant in dismounting, she
places her left hand in his left hand,
%springing clear from the saddle, alight-
ing on her feet as above, with her side
to the saddle. The assistant must have
his right hand ready to support her, If
necessary, OF he may stand by the
horses shoulder, and the lady's right
hand in his, and thus steady her de-
scent. A little attention to these cur
ious movements add much grace to the
lady's appearance.

A Newspaper Joke.

A San Francisco newspaper has been
neatly caught in an attempt at dis
honest practice. Some three months
ago a carrier of the Chromcls offered a
boy employed by its rival the Bulletin,
$50 for a list of the latter's mail sub
scribers. The boy reported the matter
to his employers, and was told by them
to appear to agree to the arrangement.
The Bulletin then had copies of a hcti-
tious mail list printed, containing pure
ly imaginary addresses, and these were
supplied to the Chronicle man The
owners of that journal at once sent
specimen copies of it to all the address,
es given. AS there were some 1900
names, the expense of contributing
these specimen copies to the waste
boxes must have been large.

Some letters of Greeley's, written
prior to the campaign of 1860, have
been published by Pike, a Maine editor,
to whom they were addressed. Just
before the Chicago republican conven-
tion Of go, when, with him, it was any
man to beat Seward, he wrote: "But
l don't care what Is done about the
nomination. l know what ought to be
done, and, having set that forth am
content. l stand In the position Of the
rich old fellow, who, having built a
church entirely out Of his W means,
addressed his townsmen thus:

And bought you a bell;
Now go to meeting
Or else go to h-l.'"

Hired nignltarles at Weddings

1t Is a custom in some parts of Rus
STA to hire Generals to give dignity to
wedding feasts. This occurs chiefly
among the middle classes, who take
pride in ~parading heiracquaintance with
members of the upper class. The cost
of hiring a general varies from five
silver rubles upward, according to pride
and de corations. The arrangement
binds him to come in full uniform, and
to remain for a fixed period. The gen.
eral is very apt to get drunk on such
occasions.

MEXICO is in the throes of another
revolution. The states and some of
the leading generals are pronouncing
against President Diaz and soon the
plains of Mexico will once again become
battlefelds. 1t is not clear yet who
the insurgents intend to elevate to the
presidency, but whoever he is he will
have just as good a title as Diaz, whose
only title is might. In passing We may
say that the soldiery are in arms
against the present government be-
cause they have received no pay for six
months and haven't sufficient food to
food the fires of patriotism.

WEDNESDAYS all night session of
the senate was an old fashioned af-
fair that reminds one of ante bellum
times. Partisan bitterness seasoned
every discussion, and acrimony was the
rule of the hour. The most notable in
cident was the remarkable language
that passed between Conkling and La
mar. We have no particular love for
Conkling, but candor compels us to say
that he achieved quite a victory. He
was parliamentary and p~rovokingly
clear and emp hattie. He charged La
mar with being course and unparlia-
mentary, and Lamar begged pardon Of
the senate for being so. A telegram
printed elsewhere in this issue explains
the affair and we refer the reader to
that for details.

GERMANY has long had serious de-
signs on Holland. Whether they will
be accomplished, however, will be seen
in the lapse of time. The Inter Ocean
says the death Of the prince Of Orange,
heir apparent to the throne of the Ne
therlands opens the way to the throne
to Prince Heinrich, who, less than a
year ago, married the daughter of
Prince Frederick Karl of Prussia.
Those who believe that Germany means
to absorb Holland, will see in the mar
riage and the course of events further
reasons for so believing.

strengthens him in his position. But
it does not prove that his management

not, he will have to answer charges on

STONE, or A WELL

The following is from the Woman's

REGISTER BEFORE THE SUMNER VA
CATION.
The law requires that the name of
every voter should be registered before
the 18th of September. The summer
vacation is very apt to be protracted
beyond that time. In order to avoid
any risk, let every oma before she
leaves town for the summer, see to it
that her name is registered. L. S.
"L. s." is the redoubtable Lucy
Stone, n of the editors of the Journal,
and the fun Of the thing is that she is
advising the women Of Boston to do
