MIR. pIGWEED has had terrible time of
it. He resolved to set pistol in his safe,
before leaving home for the summer, so that
when anybody opened the door of tho re-
ceptacle the pistol would be discharged
However, it puzzled him good deal to find
a way to set the pistol with the door shut,
and if he set it with the door open there
was no way to make the thing 80 off when
the door should be opened again. So he
finally set up the pistol inside tho safe and
cooked it, and then putting his hand inside
closed the door all but crack, just sufficient
to admit his wrist. Then he fixed a loop
from the door to the pistol trigger, so that
when the door was opened any wider the
pistol would be discharged Then he at
tempted to draw out his hand, but found
that while he had left the door sufficiently
open to accommodate his wrist it wouldn't
let out his hand without being opened wider,
and that would discharge the pistol into his
stomach. There was nothing to do but to
take off the loop and put on little longer
one, and when he attempted to do that he
found that though he had been able to attach
the loop he couldn't reach quite far enough
to dctach it again. Then the awrulncss of
his position came upon him. He was i'm
prisoned and could only release himself at
!hg Rriss eff fAaasti Aaastiuiy th ind at last
help came, and the first man who arrived
was about to yank the door open before
Pigwccd could stop him, and it gave the
victims nerves terrible shock. Finally
they got smiths and tools and went to work
to get in at the back of the safe and remove
the pistol and they had to work very care
fully so as not to explode the pistol by the
jar. 1t was an all.day job, but finally after
Pigwecd had nearly died form exhaustion,
and his hair had began to turn gray from
fright, they got at the pistol and found that
when he put it in there Pigwecd had for
gotten to load it, so he might have yanked
his. hand out at any time. And though
Pigweed was terribly fatigued, he aroused
himself sufficiently to give the grandest ex
hibition Of profano discourse heard since
the Grant men left Chicago.

How RICE is COOKED IN JArAN.--A recent
traveller in Japan says: 'They do know how
to cook rice here, though, and for the benefit of
grocers and consumers in the United States
Investigated the matter Only just enough cold
water is poured to prevent the rice from
burning to the pot, which has close fitting COW

In THE CURRENT.-A correspondent of
the RECORD UNION, writing from Pleasant
Grove, Sutter county, says that last Satur-
day James Duff, farmer, while returning
from town, raced his team with another

going at high speed, he attempted to
cross Auburn ravine, which was swollen
with waters. The horses became entangled
in the harness, and Duff, while trying to
free them, was carried away by the cur
rent, and would have drowned but for the
fortunate happening by of neighbor, who
arrived just in time to same him.

An Argumen, ForFem n,esuGrore

Miss Susan B. Anthony lectured Sat-
nrday evening at Association Hall,
Fifteenth and Chestnut streets Phila,
delpDia on the fallacy expressed in the
words, "Women Want Bread, Not the
Ballot" She aimed to prove that the
ballot was necessary in order that all
women should have bread, and cited
several historical examples to show that
the rights of no class are recognized
until it Is armed with the franchise,
She illustrated this by the condition of
the nesroes before and after the war:
by that of the Chinese in America now,
and by the lower wages which women
receive compared with those paid to
men for the same work, and the failures
of female operators strikes because
they coulden't vote, and expressed her
renewed confidence that the cause of
female sutfrages would ultimately tri-
umph throughout the United States, as
1t ls already success in the six States
and Territories where it has been par
TALLY introduced. The orchestra and
orchestra-circle were filled, and there
were also a few in the gallery. The
audience applauded, and evidently ap.
preciated Miss Anthony's wit and ready
powers Of illustration.

Treatment Of Children.

All New York was Mortified on Sat
urday by charges against the " Shep-
herds Fold" an alleged charitable in
stitution for children. The Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to children
brought into the Court House twen.y-
two children from the Shepherds Fold,
of all ages from two to fourteen. They
were brought on warrant issued by
Judge Donahue, WHO ordered an inves-
tigation of the S1cietys' charges against
the institution. Soma of the children
were shockingly emaciated, and much
public indignation was excited by the
treatmentithey are said to have received.
1t is charged that the children were
made to do all the domestic work, were
kept in filthy condition, and received
insufficient food, which was not fit to
eat. One boy was too weak to be brought
to court, but photograph Of his ema-
oiated form was exhibited. The chill
dren were all placed in charge Of the
society, and Mr.. Elbridge 7. Gerry gave
them dinner. The managers of the
Shepherds Fold will be thoroughly in
vestigated.

ing but the late Superintendent, Lee
and his family. Mr.. Lee expects to
stay there until October next, when
the term for which he was elected will
expire. 1t is now the generally accept.
ted opinion that Mr.. Lee will be enti.
tied to the full salary for the year for
which he was elected, Notwithstanding
the ordinance which was passed abol-
lshing the City Hospital. One of the
funny things which the Council did
was to abolish the hospital, to take ef-
feet the first of January, and then in
making the appropriation for the sues
ceeding year, 5000 is allowed for the
maintenance of the hospital. The
question naturally arises if the City
Hospital was abolished on the first of
January, what need is there of any ap-
preparation for 1880?

SOIld Men.

A friendly dispute having occurred
between the police force respectively Of
the Eastern and Western parts OF the
city, Market street being the dividing
line, in regard to which side weighed
the heaviest In pounds avoir-dupois, a
weighing process has been going on at
James q Bros hardware store, 204
Market street, to see which side of the
city has the heaviest chunk in the ag-
gregate Of the force. About One-half
the force has been weighed, aud thus
far officer Richards, of the East side, is
the heaviest man, he having raised the
beam at 207. Pardee, of the West side,
almost offsets this at 1879. Officer Bos-
ter, Qt should be Buster,) OF the East,
has not yet been balanced on the scales,
but 1t Is expected that he will crowd
two hundred and quarter anyhow.
Officer Bsrnhardt and Sergeant Dolan,
of the West, have not yet been weigh
ed, but unless they rank up near the
two hundred mark it is feared that the
East will come out victorious, SO far as
weight is concerned. OF the two re-
serves at the City Hall, officer McClain
CALAMITY vauquished officer Robinson,
from the Est, with some 20 pounds to
spare, the latter drawing lat pounds,
and so far being the lightest man
weighed. All the members of the force
who have not yet been weighed are re-
quested to come forward and have that
duty performed.

VermOnrs Revolutionary Deeds.

WAsHTNGroN, Jan. lS.-The one hun
dred and third anniversary of the de-
claration of Vermont's Independence
was celebrated last Saturday eve
ming in this city by meeting of about
80 members OF an association which
has been formed by natives of Vermont.
Resolutions were passed in support of
Virginia's request for aid in ceIebrat-
ing the centennial of the surrender of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown, and in build
ing monument to commemorate that
victory. Reference is made in them to
the part taken by Vermont soldiers in
the Revolution, especially to Stark's
victory at Bennington, and the desire
is expressed that the legislation of Con-
gress on this subject may be SO comprs
hensive as eventually to secure the de-
signation of all the important battle
fields of the Revolution by appropriate
memorial structures.
