A Noble Benefaction and Benefactor.

William Garth, a Kentuckian
who died in 1860, left a generous
sum to be invested and the interest
applied to the education of poor
and worthy young men of Bourbon
county. The committee having the
matter in charge have done their
work well, the result being the col
lege graduation of sixteen young
men, and the instruction of fifteen
now on rolls. Nearly all these stu
dents have attended colleges where
in instruction is free, and conse-
quently the money thus far has
been used almost exclusively for
books, clothing and boarding. 1t
is paid directly 20 the student, and
he accounts annually to the com
mission for the sums used upon
vouchers. One of them says: "This
plan develops all the manliness
there is in a boy. We trust them,
and are rewarded by statements of
account that would reflect credit
upon bank cashier. No prevari-
cation is winked at; the boy is
taught that his fund is not q chari-
ty given him on account of his
misfortunes, but is a reward of
merit-physical, moral and mental
and that the annual appropriation
will be conferred as a reward for
every years faithful application on
his part.

A Gentle Hint.

Utica Herald: Young Mr.. Late
hours was sitting on the porch the
other night watching a seventeen
year-old girl trying to keep awake
long enough to see the morning
star rise. They talked astronomy.
II wish 1 was a STAR" said he, smil
ing at his own poetic fancy. al
would rather you were a comet"
she said dreamily. His heart beat
tumultuously. "And why?" he
asked tenderly, at the same time
taking her unresisting little hands
in his own; "and whyT' he repeated
imperiously. "Oh," she said, with
a brooding earnestness that fell
upon his soul like bare foot on
cold oilcloth, because then you
would only come around once every
1,500 years!" He didn't say any
thing until he was half way to the
front gate, when he turned around
and shook his fist at the house and
muttered between his teeth that,
"by the dads, it would be thunder
ing sight longer than that before he
came around again" But by that
time the poor girl was in bed and
sound asleep.

A Very Interesting Puzzle.

In a storm at sea there was a
Christian Captain on board vessel
with fifteen seamen, who chanced TO
meet with a Turkish vessel with the
same number of seamen in her, who
were in danger of being lost. The
Turkish Captain most earnestly en-
treated the Christian Captain to
take him and his men on board in
order to save them from the dan
ger to which they were exposed.
The Christian Captain consented
and took him and his men on board
his vessel, but, the storm still in
creasing, until their destruction
seemed inevitable, it was then
agreed by both Captains to place all
the men on deck and cast off every
ninth man. until half the men were
thrown overheard, in order to save
the other half. The Christian Cap
tain performed this with such SIM
plicity, accuracy and ingenuity that,
by casting off every ninth man, be
drowned all the Turks and saved
his own men. The question is,
how were the thirty men placed in
line?

The news of a romance with a
tragic ending comes from Shepard
settlement, little town two miles
from Marcellus, near Syracuse, N.
Y. Flora A. Shepard, grand daugh-
ter of E. A. Shepard, after whom
the settlement was named, died at
midnight Sunday from the effects
of a dose of cobalt, taken because
her lover, who had heard rumors
against her character. asked to
have the marriage postponed until
she could prove they were ground
less. She was engaged to be mar
ried to Henry A. Fulmer, of FL
bridge, ani the ceremony was to
have been performed on Sunday.
She had prepared her bridal robes,
but when Sunday came Fulmer ap-
peared and said he could not marry
her until he had become convinced
that the story about her was untrue.
She requested him to go to church
with her. He consented, and she
went up stairs ostensihly to dress.
He waited IRON l O clock till 8, and
she didn't come down, and he sent
her brother up to learn the reason.
The brother soon came back and
said Flora was in bed and would
not speak to him. Fulmer went
up stairs and asked Flora what was
the matter. She pointed to piece
of paper on the stand, but did not
say anything. He picked it up, and
found it to be a will devising her
property to girl friend. He sur
missed that she had taken poison,
and aroused the family, who called
a physician. The girl confessed
that she had taken a dose of cobalt.
She vomited profusely, and the doc
tor supposed that she had elected
the poison from her stomach. At
10 o'clock at night she was again
taken sick and at II o'clock she
died. While attending her the doc
tor noticed an unopened package
of cobalt. After Flora's death this
package could not be found. The
girl was twenty years old, pretty
and viVaciOus.

Duration of Eternity.

Various illustrationssshaye been
suggested to convey to the mind
some idea of illimitable duration.
1t has been said, suppose that one
drop OF ocean should be dried up
every thousand years how long
would it be ere the last drop would
disappear and the oceans bed be
left dry and dustyp Far onward as
that would be in the coming ages,
eternity would but have commenced.
1t has been said, suppose this vast
globe upon which we tread were
composed OF PARTICLES of the finest
sand, and that one particle should
disappear at the termination of
each million OF years, oh, how in
conceivably immense must be the
period which must elapse before
the last particle would be gone |
And yet, eternity would be in It's
morning twilight. IL has been
said, suppose some little insect, go
small as to be imperceptible TO the
naked eye, we're to carry this
world by its tiny mouthfuls to the
most distant star in the heaven s.
Hundreds of millions of years
would be required for the single
journey. The insect commences
on the leaf of a tree and takes its
little load, so small that even the
microscope cannot discover that
it is gone, and set out on its al
most endless juorney. After mil
lions and millions of years have
rolled away it arrives back for its
second load. Oh, what intermina-
BILE ages would elapse before the
whole tree would be removedl
When would the forest be gomez
And the globe? Even then, eterni-
ty would not have commenced.

Fully 5000 people attended the
meeting addressed by Benjamin f.
Butler in this city to night. Gen.
Butler said that there we're two
ideas of Government in this coun-
try-one represented in the past by
Jefferson, the other by Hamilton,
and that Garfield was in favor OF
the latter, as shown by his utter
eaces in 1855 and four weeks ago;
that Jefferson believed all power
resided in the people, and that the

belonged to the States. Long

How an Indian Runs Down a Deer.

When sufficiently near the hunter
takes his aim, and making q slight
noise with his foot on the ground,
which causes the deer 10 turn to-
ward him, has a good chance to hit
him in the middle of the forehead.
But if he misses the mark, or his
gun misses fire, then the fun begins
in earnest, a1d one of the finest
races in the world can be Witnessed
"a naked Indian and a frightened
deer at full speed. If the deer
should happen to be not more than
a year old it is of no use following
it, as it will then outrun any In.
dian, and run longer without giving
out, but If two or three years old, or
older, good runner will bring it
down in a few hours, or certainly
within fifty or sixty miles. (The
narrator, Jesse Mendivil, here in
sists that good runner among the

1t is reported that the director of
one of the largest public lunatic
asylums in Germany lately said to
an assemblage of physicians that
much of the increase of insanity
was due to the forcing process to
which children were subjected in

worst specification made in support
of this theory was that pupils were
compelled, according to their grade,
to study from two to four hours be-

A fashionable Boston tailor has
hit upon a novel plan of gratifying
his customers with as many suits of
clothes as they may feel inclined to
wear at very large reduction from
fashionable prices. He offers to
supply three suits a year for SLY,
four suits for $142, five suits for
1852, while for 5000 per annum he
will agree to let them have as many
suits of clothes as they may choose
TO wear, the old suits to be re-
turned, and the customer to have
the privilege of two suits at a time.
Under the first three propositions
the cost of each suit would be $39,
$3.50 and $3.50 respectively, the
customer retaining the clothes. Un-
der the last proposition the custo-
mer may have ten or more suits a
year at a cost of $40 or less for each
suit, on the simple condition of
exchanging the suits that have been
worn for new ones.

conclusion was that the husband

she got a divorce.
