: The use Of money by capdjdatos

= The use of money by candidates for
election e3penses" has grown TO be a
recognized custom in this country, but it
does not prevail to such an extent as in
England. a candidate for seat in Par
Lament is expected to disburse Thousands
Of dollars, and unless he meets this ex-
pectation he finds himself sadly in the
minority when the votes are counted.
At recent election lii Durham each of
four candidates spent to obtain votes
$4,000. In another borough an aspi-
rant for seat in Parliament spent
$65. 900, and was defeated in spite of this
outlay. An official investigation devel-
oped the fact that iD the year 1870 in
England over $2, ,000, 900 were expended
upon voters by candidates. A member
of the present Congress remarked, day
or two ago, when asked why he did not
bring his family with him to Washing.
ton :'"I can't afford it. Il cost me near
" $4,000 to obtain my nomination and
election, and, as borrowed most of the
money, am saving all 7 can in order to
pay 1t back.n Az this rate it will not be
niainy years Until the English figures of
election expenses are reached in tais
country.
- Mr. Barker, of Brown County, Ill,
seeing his two female cousins appfoach,
ing, said jocularly: "I'll give them o
salute" Drawing revolver, he threw
his hand back o,,r his head an6 pulled
the trigger. The FIRST shot struck Bark
ers uncle in the head, and he fell dead.
The young man didn't see this result
of his frat salute, and fred again. This
time he hit n young man, who stood
near his uncle, and he died in forty min
utes. Barker was arrested, and will be
tried for murder.

How WOULD PAINT A BAR-RooM.
---On c1e eide would paint Death on
the Pale HoFBe, his arm welding the
thunlerbolt, the fiery hoofs Of bis flying
steed treadipg down everything fair and
lovely the Garden of Eden before him,
o biackened waste behind him.
On the other side l would draw the
picture Of wretched hovel, once hs ppy
home; the roof broken In, the windows
stuffed with rags; in the doorway a
weeping vito with ragged children cling
ing to her skirts, piteously beseeching her
for bread. In the distance should be-
seen the once happy husband and father,
now @ reeling drunkard, on his way from
the village tavern to the nut be calls his
hore.
Back Of the bar, in full view of the
blcsted creatures .Iiat Stand viii, The cup
to their lips, / would paint company OF
demons, in the death dance of iiendish
hilarity around FIRE kindled with the
flames OF alcohol, and over it I would
write in lurid letters:
Moderate drinking lights the flame
that burns TO the lowest hell"
Opposite the bar should be lonely and
diShonored grave; lightning blasted
tree should stretch its leafess branches
over it, and on some withered bough
should perch the melancholy owl hooting
to the Wintry moon. At the foot of the
grave should kneel the angel of mercy,
with hands and eyes upraised to the pity
ing heavens; AMI at the head of the
grave should be the angel of Justice,
carving, with stern, relentless hand, upon
the tombstone these fearful words OF
doom:
mo drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of God"
In the intervening spaces / would have,
here o grinning skeleton and there bro.
ken heart, n shattered hour glass, stan
dard bloat, a torch extinguished in black
ness of darkness, while from over the
doorway and from the ceiling should
look down all kinds of woefui human
es--pale, imploring, wrathfuI, deadly,
despairing. ''.

ded in sackcloth, and The floor covered

The Famine in Brasil.

Mr.. Herbert H. Smith, who has tray.
elled extensively in Brazil, writes to the
New York Tribune concerning tho famine
now raging in that country, which he
describes 40 2. calamity In comparison
with which the distress in ireland sinks
into insiguifcance.
The famine district lies in that part of
the country known az the Sertao, be.
tween tho rivers Parnabyba and San
Francisco. Much of tho land is fitted for
pasturage, and fine crops of cotton and
sugar cane are raised in tho valleys and
hillsides. The entire population Is de-
pendent on agriculture. The present
fnmine began with o drought in 1877.
In that year all the crops failed, and tho
cattle died fns want OF food and water.
BY July of that year one-thirl OF the
people were begging for food; by No
yember nine-tenths of the cattle were
dead, and not 8 green leaf or blade OF
grass could be seen. Even at this time
the famine deaths ran up TO Ten or Aiteen
d day in email villages, Following this
terrible year came another year of
drought. Over the greater part of the
region Il did not rain ut all in 1873, and
at the most there were only o few show
eta. Il great panic eelgGd tho people.

4 worthy wife Of forty years stand
ing, and whose life was not all made
Of sunshine and peace, gave the fol-
lowing impressive advice to a newly
married. pair Of her acquaintance.
The advice is so coed and well suited
10 all married people, as well as those
entering that state, that we here pub
lish it for the benefit Of such persons !:
Preserve sacredly the privaces Of
your house, your married state, and
your heart. Let no father, mother,
sister or brother ever presume TO come
between you or share the Joy or sor.
rows that belong to you two alone.
With mutual help build your quiet
world,no allowing your dearest friend
TO be the confident of aught that
becomes your domestic peace. Let
moments Of alienation, if they occur,
be healed at once. Never, no never,
speak Of it outside; but to each other
confess, and all will come out right.
Never let the morrow's sun find you
still at variance. Renew and renew
your vow-it will 10 you good, and
thereby your minds will grow togeth.
er, contcnied in that love which is
stronger than death, and you will be.
come truly one.

English papers report some expert
ments, lately made at Dungeness, which
show remarkable success in reducing
the efficiency OF military balloons. An
ordinary service balloon was used, and
after it had risen to height of 800
feet was fired at ith an S-inch howit-
ger at a distance Of 1000 yards. The
gunners were not Instructed as to the
precise range, but were required 10
find il for themselves. An Sinch
shell was accordingly fred into the
air as a trial shot, and this. despite
the novelty Of the target, sufIiced TO
supply the gunncrs with the necessary
information. The next shot brought
down the balloon. The projectile was
n shrapnell shell, and the fuse had
been so well timed that the shell
burst just in front OF the balloon, pro-
jecting something like 800 bullets
through the fabric, and causing its
immediate descent.
