"SALUTLNG THE BRIDE"
There was a marriage at the
upper end Of the Detroit, Ian
sing and Northern road the
other day. A great big chap,
almost able to throw carload
Of lumber off the track, fell in
love with a widow who was cook
ing for the hands in a sawmlI,
and after q week. s acquaintance
they we're married. The boys
around the mill lent William
three calico shirts, a dress-C0at,
and a pair Of white pants, and
ohippedm a purse Of about $40,
and the couple started for De.
roit on a bridal tour within an
hour after being married. This

as the conductor came along for

The conductor hesitatad. The

and said:

One by one the men walked

A Child's Hair Turns White.

On Barden Book, near State Line,
Pa, lives gentleman named Orrin
Crandall, who has q bright little girl
about 9 years of age, with hair of a
beautiful auburn color. Several
weeks ago two or three drunken men
came along, and by their hideous ac-
tons and dreadful appearance fright
ened the little girl terribly. She
broke into puroxysm of grief, and
cried three hours without cessation,
though her parents and friends used
every means in their power to quiet
her. Shortly after this terrible
fright The girls pretty golden locks
began to turn gray, the change con-
tinuing until now large portion is
as white as that of old age. She is
in good health, and has no physical
ailments which might cause this won-
derful change, and beyond doubt it
can be attributed only t" the serious
fright we have described above

Are Plants Personal Property.

Here is an odd case: Miss Ada
Russell, a teacher Of vocal music in
the public schools of Brooklyn, for
merly lived in a house on Third
street, 10 that city, in the yard of
which she planted many rare plants
and vines. Not long ago Mr.. John
Gorham bought the home and Miss
Russell moved out with the depart
ing family. AS she set great store by
her plants she went into the yard
during the next week to dig them up.
Mr.. Gprham saw her at work aud
ordered her to leave, saying that
when he bought the property he
bought the plants. Miss Russell
told her brother of the matter and
when Mr.. Russell tried to take the
plants away he was assaulted by Mr..
Gorham.. Mr.. Russell has sued Mr..
Gorham for the assault aud Miss Rus
sell has sued Mr.. Gorham for the
plants. But the question raised still
remains: "Are plants and vines real
estate or personal propertyT

A Local Editors Dream.

Once upon a time a local editor
dreamed that he was dead and in an
other world. He approached city
before him aud Knocked for admit
lance, but no one answered his sum
mons. The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud
for an entrance, but the only response
was scores of heads appearing above
the wall on the other side of the gate.
AT sight of him the owners of the
heads set up dismal howl and one
of them cried: "Why didn't you
notice that big egg l gave YOU" At
this horrid and most unexpected in
terrogation, the poor local turned in
the direction of the voice to learn its
owner, when another voice shrieked:
" Where's that piece you were going
to write about my soda fountainT
and close upon this was the awful
demand: "Why did you write piece
about old Tomlinson's hens, and never
speak of my new gatei" Whatever
answer he was going to frame to this
appeal was cut short by the astonish-
ing query: "Why did you spell my
name wrong in the programmed"
The miserable man turned to flee, " hen
he was rooted to the ground bv these
terrible demands "Why did you
put my marriage among the deathsf"
He was on the point OF saying the
foreman did it, when shrill voice
madly cried: you spoilt the sale
of my horse by publishing that run
away" and another: eff l catch
you alone I'll lick you for what you
said about me when was before the
police court" Another: "Why
didn't you show up the school ques-
ton when / told you tor" And this
was followed by the voice of female
Historically exclaiming: "This is
the brute that botched my poetry
and made me ridiculous" Where
upon hundreds of voices screamed:
Where is my .article2 Give me
back my article!" Aud in the midst
of the horrid din the poor wretch
awoke perspiring at every pore and
screaming for help.

CHARITY BEGINS At HOME.
And the Best Kind Is That Which
Helps Men to Help Themselves.

There is so much counterfeit char.
ity abroad and so many vague things
are written about what claims to be
charity, that it is refreshing to read
such an article as that which We find
in the Covenant: Charity does not
consist, as too many people suppose,
merely in amsgiving, or moneyed
benefactions, however great or praise
worthy these may be. Any one may
give dollar to a beggar through a
passing feeling of pity or a tn ,usand
dollars to church from motives of
worldly policy; or found hospital,
or college, to perpetuate his name,
and yet be wholly lacking in the
very spirit and essence Of charity.
For charity is love, and love is of the
heart. Have you honest, faithful,
tried employees, whose zeal and abil-
ity have largely contri buted to your
success in life2 Treat them well,
study their comfort, and pay them
literally. What though you can get
others to do their work at even less
than you are now payingl Such
reasoning may be good for worldly
minded man of business, but not for
a true-hearted Christian. There is a
higher principle involved here than
the law of supply and demand. You
are to do unto them as you would
that they should do unto you,' were
you in their position and similarly
circumstaDced. If tried anc faith
full book keeper is getting thousand
dollars year, and you are wealthy
and can afford it, double or treble or
even quadruple his salary, and 50
likewise with all your other employ
es. Let them be sharers in your sue
cess, as their faithful efforts have
helped you to achieve it. and even
from worldly point of view it will
be TO your advantage. But it is char
ity, besides, of the highest and most
practical character. You are re-
warding merit; you are aiding the
deserving; you are giving them in
turn the power to help others; and
by enabling them to live more COM
fortably, you are encouraging trade,
giving more employment to labor,
and so become the truest benefactor
Of the needy and industrious poor.
Indiscrimate giving is not charity.
1t is rather an encouragement to idle
ness and crime. That form of chart
ty is the truest and noblest philan-
+; thropy which assists fellow-men in
efforts to help themselves; which gives
them the opportunity to earn their
own livelihood, and so preserve a
manly independence and self-re-
spect."

Looking for the Lord.

We have singular case of insanity
in our town. William Sturges, COL
ored, the son of George Sturges,
about thirty years of age, some ten
years ago had severe attack of
chills and fever, succeeded by gener-
al low health, melancholy and relig-
ious insanity. For several years he
has met every passenger train, both
day and night, that passes here, saying
he was looking for the Lord. For
weeks at time he will take stand
at some particular place every morn
ing, and thus daily stand for several
hours at time, scarcely moving a
muscle and saying not a word. If
Intercepted he says that he is put ON
duty at that place by "the Lord" in
order "to put things right" At
present he is putting to right the
business block opposite the Court
House square. He seems perfectly
harmless, and is not interfered with
in his singular fancies.-Waynesboro

FOretelling His Own Death.

Elias Stamey, of this county, died
October 10. and about three weeks
previous to his death he said he had
a vision, in which, to use his own
words, " God told him that he would
be taken sick on a certain dav, and
if he would only use home medi-
cines' he would live until the Mon
day following, but if he had doc
tor he would live until q week from
the next Thursday" A physician
was called in. and he did live until
I O'Clock P. M. Thursday, that being
the exact hour2 IF the day on which
he said God had told him he would
die.-Roan Mountain On. CO. Repub-

DEATH OF N. X. LAMPSON.

N. 4. Lampson died at the Inter-
national Hotel, in Virginia, at 9
O'Clock last Wednesday night, of in
Aammation of the tonsils and glands
of the neck and throat, caused by a
cold contracted while crossing the
mountains from California, about ten
days ago. Mr.. Lampson was widely
known as mining claim owner. He
came to the Comstock at an early
date, and was . part or entire owner
in large number of mining claims
in this and adjoining districts. He
Was likewise extensively interested in
Como and Palmyra, in the palmy
days of those camps. He was an in
defatigablc prospector, and has prob
ably owned in more claims than any
two men living. His business abil-
ity seemed to be on a par with his
scquisitiveness, and only recently he
disposed of five claims in Coleman
district and three in DEVILS Gate
District (all in Lyon county, to some
New York capitalists whom he sue
ceeded in associaling with himself.
The three latter claims have since be-
come somewhat known as the Consol-
idated Drexel, and mill and other
machinery to be used in the develop
ment of this ground now lies at the
Virginia depot. He was a native of
Boston, Mass, and about so years
old. He leaves a wife in San Fran.
cisco.
It is fit that a few words of expla-
nation be said at this time ia regard
to the structures recently published
in this paper concerning an article
which appeared in the special issue
of the New York Graphic for No
yember. The article referred to. it
will be remembered, contained a cut
showing extensive hoisting-works, a
large mill, and an imposing office -
all of which were located on the hill
south of the Bacon and Trench mills,
and west of the Dayton hosting
works. Well, this cut, Mr.. Lampson
claimed, was simply a prospective
view of what the Drexel property in
this county would be, couple of
years hence; but it was Inserted in
the Graphic by mistake upon the or
der of one of the Directors Of the
Company, who knew little or nothing
about the property and its present
stage of development. The unexpec.
ted demise of Mr.. Lampson will
doubtless retard operations at the
Drexel, and thus react to the disad-
vantage of this city and county.

AMELIA AUER'S DEATH.
How Little AdOlph Amer Killed
His Infant Sister with Re-

vOlver.
In Syracuse, New York, on Sun
day morning last, a boy of seven
years shot and almost instantly killed
his sister, three and a half years old.
The little boys name is Adolph Auer,
and that of his sister Amelia. The
shooting occurred at the residence of
Albert Auer, the father, at No. Z
Grumbach avenue. At about o
O'Clock Adolph and his little sister
entered their older brothers. room
and opened drawer in the wash
stand. They began looking over the
things, and found 10 the bottom of
the drawer revolver. 1t is supposed
they became engaged in childish
quarrel over the weapon, and Adolph,
not knowing what he was doing,
pointed the revolver at Amelia and
pulled the trigger. The ball entered
her stomach, little to the right of
the heart. Mrs. Auer was washing
her breakfast dishes in the kitchen.
She heard the report, which was i'm
mediately followed by piercing
scroan from Amelia. Mrs. Auer

sho appeassd at the door Amelia
placed her hand on her stomach and
crieds "Oh, mamma, mamma
