One would think crime would have

Of course, TO cvil.docrs whose villain.

in downright earnest; for there are
rascals cncrusted all over with moral
guilt who manage to evade their Just

might reach, but at whose onenscs Of.

vigilance and skill of our detective

defense against the system Of intelli.

their midst; and sooner or later, they
almost inevitably receive the wages Of
their misdeeds. If men, inherently
prone to wickedncss. were CITED with
average reflective qualities, they would
restrain their bad propensities from
motives of policy. But the truth is,
that moral obloquy and lack Of fore

Most boys believe that the humming
sound made by the telegraph wires Is
caused by the messages hurrying along
TO their destination. Most men be-
lieve that this sound is caused by the

ter, when the wires appear covered
with frost to the thickness of a finger,
they nevertheless carry ON lively vi
brations and swinging, while the air
is totally quiet According TO this
writer, therefore. the vibrations are
due, not to the wind, but to the
changes Of atmospheric temperature.
and especially through the action of
cold, as lowering of the temperature
induces a shortening of the wires, ex.

friction Is produced ON the supporting
bells, thus inducing sound, both in

One of the EgarO's admirable Amer.
lean incidents: A widow whose hus.
band, a mechanic, had been killed in
a railway accident, obtains judgment
of five thousand dollars damages
against the railroad company. The
same court gives a verdict for fifteen
thousand dollars to a man who lost
his leg in the same smash.up. The
widow Of the mechanic thereupon goes
to the Judge and protests against the
injustice of his decision. SIS a Leg"
she asked, worth three times as much
as a whole man?7 And the Judge re-
spends, "The decision is perfectly
equitable. A man who has lost a leg
can not replace it with another as
good, even for fifteen thousand dollars;
but a widow with FIVE thousand dol.
lars can easily get new husband, and
a much better one, probably, than
the one she has lost"

The wife of a miner in Hopewell,
Pennsylvania, had yellow hair of won.

so heavy as to be n bother, but her
husband would not let her cut it off,
even when offered a good price by
dealers in heir. Lately work became
scarce, and he did not know how IN
make a payment soon coming due on
his little house. The loss Of his home
seemed probable. Then a stranger
came along and offered 5000 for the
treasured yellow hair. That amount
of money would raise the mortgage on
the homestead, and the husband re.
luctantly made the sale. He could
not help shedding tears when he saw
the strangers shears despoiling his
wifes head Of its beauty, and she wept
when she looked at herself in the
glass; but they consoled themselves
with the crisp hank notes, and the
buyer went away with the hair. A
few days afterwsrd the miner went to
pay the debt. and learned that the
bills were all counterfeit.

there is now a current running on the

Natchez.
