A BUs1NEss.L1KE CouRTsHIp.-A
solitary gentleman, sixty years of age,
possessing property, and being filled
with desire to have home Of his OWL
and wife to keep it in order, conceived
the idea of calling upon very estimable
lady whom he had heard of, but never
met or spoken to, and of presenting the
case for her consideration. He called
at the house where the object of his
choice resided, and asked to see her.
She made her appearance, and he made
known his business. He stated brief
ly that he was alone in the world, de-
sired to marry, had heard of her eminent
qualifications, offered to provide her q
good home, to care for her, and asked
her to become bis wife. In the same
strictly business manner the lady rcspon-
ded that she had heard favorably of her
present caller, she had no home of her
own, aud had no objection to sharing
one of his providing. The happy ar
rangement was thus at once concluded,
and the gentleman left. On Wednesday
he called again for her, they walked to
minister's residence, and were married.
Neither of the parties had known each
other previous to this unique beginning
of their acquaintance. The lady is about
forty years of age.-Dduenport Io1Od)

The CHApIA1N's INNOCENT HINT.

The CHAPLAIN's INNOCENT HINT
Some time ago o prisoner named Reilly
escaped from the Eastern Penitentiary
by concealing himself under tie body
ola wagon which brought supplies to
the institution. Before the vehicle
reached Market street, Reilly spatched
cape from lady, was apprehended and
sent to Moyamensing Prison. Here he
was visited by one ofthe officials connec-
led with the PeniteDtiary.
"Well, Reilly" said the officer, "what
did you run away for?"
"Don't blame me; put it on the man
who got up the scheme, and who told me
to do it," was the reply.
"Who was that ?" was the question.
"Why, the chaplain" quoth Reilly.
"Say no more; I will bring the chap
lain," said the official.
In due time the chaplain, who was o
good and holy man, and who was horror
stricken at the charge, confronted Reilly.
"Now, Reilly, here is the chaplain" "
said the official. "Chaplain, Reilly
charges you with encouraging him to get
out Of prison." added the official.
$50 you did," answered Reilly, COM
placently.
"It is not go, you villainl You are
not telling the truth, and you know it !"
spoke up the chaplain.
"Hold on l' cried Reilly. "Thc last
time you saw me you said :"Reilly, watch
and pray, didn't you?"
eyes" added the chaplain.
"Well, 1 did watch, and | prayed, and
I prayed and watched, and the first an
swer that came to my prayers was that
wagon, and I slid out on it," was Rcilly's
answer.
The chaplain acknowledged that Rcil-
ly had caught him, only he meant for tho
convict to watch and pray in another

"A aubterranean forest of oaks has
been discovered in Germany in valley
walered by the river Fulda. DR.. Maesta,
a government geologist, who made the
discovery during an official exploration,
pronounces the trees to be of enormous
size, and to date back in their origin To
remote period. They are entirely
buried beneath the surface of the: valley
but several hundred of the outermost
trunks that border on the banks Of the
Fulda have been laid bare by the grad
ually encroaching current of the stream.
The wood has. acquired a deep black
color, and has become exceedingly hard.
1t is believed that it will make excellent
material for sculpture. One trunk that
was found in the bed of the river has
been removed to Berlin to be placed in the
national geological museum. Whether
these trees are of a species now in exist
ence or of one that is extinct has not
been determined.

AN INDIAN THERMoPYLE.-Aret there
twenty-five white men anywhere in the
world who can do what was done by the
handful of Cheyennes recently hunted
down and killed by four companies Of
United States troops? Probably there are
not; but is certain that ifwhit men had
done this, if any squad Of heroic pale
faces had called upon their oppressors in
this style to make way for liberty" and
burdened with their wives and children
had burst from prison, gone through the
fire of the guards and, pursued by a
whole battalion of trained, disciplined
and well armed cavalry, had maintained
their flight and resistance for twelve
days and only been subdued when the
last man was shot down, the world would
have been clamorous with wonder and
applause over such gallantry, such cour-
age, such adroitness in the ruses Of war,
such deYotion to freedom and such an
unconquerable spirit. But tho world
will probably say less of these things
doue by the red man than it would have
said if they had been done by the white
man. And yet is not such heroic con-
duct more rather than less remarkable
in the savage? Practically we regard it
as commonplace for the men Of race
reputed inferior to do acts that would have
conferred immortal glory on their paler
brothers. How the ages have chanted
in the sweeping lines Of Chevy Chase"
the achievements of "ihe Percy out of
Northumberland and yet if either
Percy or Douglas had encountered what
the Cheyennes were compelled to face
it would have been 80 prosaic butch
cry as to have left no stuff for ballad.
Even the comparison with the three
hundred Spartans-the most famous of
all battles against odds-leaves plenty
of honor for these Western savages, for
the Spartans were the most warlike peo-
pie of their time, and the best trained
soldiers of the period, while the Asiatic
Ievies of the great kingdom were a rab-
BILE by comparison. Bat the Cheyennes
poorly armed, owed all their success to
their personal qualities, and made ue-
Terer fight, not against sheep-like lcyies
chat had to be driven up with whips, but
against first class troops. In whatever
way it may be contemplated this fight
has no parallel save in other episodes of
Indian history, and the annals Of war
may pc searched in vain for q more
brilliant display of all the qualities that
cnnoblc the ever grand stuggle for free
dom.-Mesv York Herald.

- Mrs. Ann Hinman Kellogg, of

- Mrs. Ann Hinman Kellogg, Of
Fairfield, Connecticut, who has just died
at the age of 90, was daughter of the
woman who so nearly took revenge on
Arnold for his treason. Mrs. Hinman
was the only woman who remained at
New London when Arnold burned that
town in 1881. He knew her, and salut-
ing her, offered to save her property if
she would point it out. She indicated
several neighbors' houses as we'll as her
own and they were not burned. The sack
ing of the town followed, incensing Mrs.
Hinman SO greatly that she took mus
ket from closet leveled it at Arnold as
he sat on his horse in front of the house
and pulled the trigger, but the piece
missed fire. Hearing the snap of the
lock Arnold turned asked what the noise
was, but with great presence Of mind she
dropped the gun out of sight and said it
was the breaking of chair.

AERIAL TELEGRAPHY..-The increasing
use Of the telegraph and telephone is
causing our cities to be over laid with q
network ofwires attached to the Chin
neys of buildings, or to frames erected
on their roofs. Perhaps this involves no
danger or special inconvenience, and is
certainly more agreeable than running
the wires on poles erected by the street
side. In some places, New York city for
example, there has been talk OF requir-
ing telegraph wires to be run under
ground, but this method also has its in
conveniences. Professor Loomis ofWash-
ington is experimenting in the noun
tains of West Virginia to demonstrate
what he calls aerial telegraphy, which is
based on the theory that at certain eleva-
tions there is natural electric current by
taking advantage of which wires may be
wholly dispensed with. 1t is said that
he has telegraphed as far as eleven miles
by means Of kites flown with copper
wire. When the kites reached the same
altitude or got into the same current
communication by means of an instru-
ment similar to the Morse instrument
was easy and perfect, but ceased as soon
as one of the kites was lowered. He has
built towers on two hills about twenty
miles apart, and from the tops of them
run up steel rods into the region of the
electric current. The statement is made
that in this way, without any wire, he
has been able to keep up telegraphic
communication for months at time.
A heavy storm, however, prevents COM
munication for time, probably by dis
arranging the current. In q recent let
ter to the editor of a Washington jour-
nal, Professor Loomis announced that he
had recently discovered that the tel
ephone could be used for this method of
communication as well as telegraphic
instruments, and that of late he had
done all his talking with his assistant,
twenty miles away, by telephone, the
connection being aerial only. He claims
that he can telegraph across the sea
without other wires than those necessary
to reach the elevation of the current.
This claim of Professor Loomis belongs
to the class of remarkable discoveries
not yet demonstrated-a very large class
in which students of science are working
with great energy.-BoSton Advertiser.

that indicated how man may be an
earnest and able theologian without
knowing much about the chronology of
the Scripture or the geography of Pales-
estine. Col. Thomas, of Burlington, years
ago, used 10 describe how his reproaches
once consternated his enemies, as fol-
lows: Il tell you their knees shook as
shook the knees of Beltisheezer, when
Paul said unto him, Thou art the man.
1t is perfectly safe to make these little
blunders before the Rutland County Bar,

than the fellow who had Now 1 lay me

Symptoms of a DiscasedLivcr.

Symptoms of aDiscasedLivcr. a
DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge Of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends TO the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are costivo, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss OF men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and ne complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
