Leadville's promising epidemic is
attended with lassitude and extreme
exhaustion. Chills occur, and great
s%ensibility to cold exists over the surface
of the skin; the eyes become injected
and tend TO fill with tears; the nostrils
discharging an acrid fluid, attended with
fixed and intense pain in the head,
mostly frontal over the eyes, sometimes
also attended with giddiness. The
nights are sleepless, with delirium or
letharey, cough prevails, with yellow
expectoration, most troublesome at
night and tending greatly to increase
the headache. Fever attends the dis
order; sometimes slight and sometimes
severe. The duration Of the fever is
from four to eight days. The sense of
taste is greatly disordered,

One of the most peculiar and laugh
able endings to a death scene on any
stage, perhaps, was effected at Balti-
more. Mile. de Belocca and Sig. Lag
zarini (Leonora and Fernandez had just
finished the last scene in La Favorita-
one particularly sweet and sad. Leo
nor had expired in her lovers arms and
fallen to the ground, and Fernando,
overcome, had fallen by her side, and
the curtain was being let down. Un-
luckily, Fernando had fallen face down.
ward and did not see the impending
danger, while Leonora, true to her part
had her eyes shut. The curtain came
down, not in front Of the two lovers, cold
in death, but upon them. The stage
carpenter saw the danger and tried to
avert, but too late, for tho 'corpses' had
to struggle ont in front, and arose, smil-
ing and laughing, before q most amused
audience. The applause was great, and
both artists turned the affair very nice
ly, and retired behind the curtain, which
was raised for them. The scene helped
to send the audience away merry after q
sad ending to a beautiful opera.

A Relics Vicissitudes,

A six FOUNDER whose voice had been
heard in several wars has escaped an ig-
nominious fate in Lexington, Ind. 1t
was made in France in 1892, and was
captured by the Americans at the battle
of New Orleans in 1916. 1t was pre-
scented TO MI. McPharland, who partici-
pated in the battle, and who founded
the town of Lexington. MI. McFa rland
was enthusiastic in his ADMIRATION for
the town, and left its people this cannon
for a memento. The gun was kept in
the town through generations, and
doomed liberty notes on every Fourth
of July. When the raider, John Nor
gan, captured Lexington, his men spiked
the gun, which was mounted in the
court house square, and they battered
it with sledge hammers. 1t had two
brass loops just over the ttunnions, and
these wsre broken of. Another touch
hole was bored subsequently, and it was
remounted. Finally alter 1t had seen
many carriages rot down under it, some
fellows stole it one night and shipped it
to Jacksonville aud sold it for old brass.
The sheriff went down to Jacksonville
and recovered it just before it wat to be
melted in a foundry furnace. This hap
pcned eighteen months ago. Last week
it wa again stolen by small boys en-
gagged i'll the scrap iron trade, but hap
PLY, has again been recovered.

Peculiar Breach of Promise Case.

A breach of promise case is soon to be
tried in Columbus, Indiana, the plain
tiff being a girl of Brown county, aged
nineteen, and the defendant fity.four.
The defendant, Joseph Boicourt, has q
remarkable history, having been four
times married. His first wife, after the
birth of a son, eloped with her brother
in.law, and lived with him till her death.
His second wife died FIVE years ago,
leaving q son. After being six months
a widower he was again married, but
his wife died suddenly last November.
About six weeks after his last wife's
death he wrote to the plaintiff of this
breach of promise suit, who lived in
Brown county, and asked her for her
heart and hand, and not receiving a re-
ply after waiting until about one month
ago, he married his sons (the child of
his first wife) divorced wife, whose
maiden name was Johnson, a niece of q
former vile. Two weeks ago he received
a letter from the girl in Brown county,
saying she would accept the offer, and
also naming the second Sunday in Feb
ruary as the day. Joe then wrote her
that he had taken unto himself q rib,
after waiting patiently for two months
for an answer, and now the fair maiden
threatens to sue for breach of promise.
A question, as follows, concerning his
last marriage, is perplexing tie lawyers
at present: His last wife has a child, the
offspring of his son. Surprising a child
is born unto them now, what relation
will the two children be to each other,
and how will they inherit their father
and grandfather's estatep

Odd Thoughts.

Calumny would soon starve and die
OF itself if nobody took it in and gave it
lodging.
We all dread a bodily paralysis, and
would make use of every continuance to
avoid it, but none of us are troubled
about a paralysis of the soul.
Our distinctions do not lie in the
places which we occupy, hut in the
grace and dignity with which we fill
them.
Sunday is the golden clasp that binds
the volume Of the week.
Not being untutored in suffering, 1
learn to pity those in affection.
No place, no company, no age, no
person is temptation free. Let no mar
boast that he was never tempted; let
him not be high-minded, but fear, for
he may be surprised in that very instant
wherein he boasteth that he was never
tempted at all.

Nothing makes a woman more es-
teemed by the opposite sex than chastity,
whether it be that we always prize those
most who are hardest to come at, or that
nothing besides chastity, with its COL
lateral attendants-truth, fidelity and
constarcy--gives the man a property in
the person he loves, and consequently
endears her to him above all things.

EfRectuaIly Marking His Dog.

They had dispute in Wisconsin about
a dog. A farmer came into town one
day and recognized a fine setter as q dog
that had been given to him when a pup
and had been stolen. He took it up and
put it in his wagon, when the possessor
of the dog came rushing up and had him
arrested and taken before a magis trate,
for attempting to steal the dog. The
farmer said: Judge, this is my dog, and
l can prove it to you So he stopped,
pinched up the skin of the chest before
the fore leg, made a straight incision
with a knife and took out O bird shot,
which he showed to the judge and which
had certain knife.marks or crosses on
it. 'Jedge, this pup was given to me
three years ago by Gus r, and Mr..
L, the grocer on l. street, at the
corner, q tell you that as soon as 1
got the dog l took him to his store,
marked a shot and put it under his
skin, first marking these crosses with my
knife on the lead.' He got that dog.

Songs for the Peeple.
Aid yourself, and God will aid you,
IL saving that | hold

Aid yourself, and God will aid you
Is q saying that / hold
Should be written not in letters
Wrought Of silver or OF gold,
But upon cut hearts be CRAVEN
A command from God in heaven.
It's the law Of Him who made you;
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-Who will not labor
All his wants OF life TO gain,
But relies upon his neighbor,
Finds that he relies in vain.
Till you've done your utmost, never
Ask a helping hand, nor ever
Let the toilful man upbrHid you;
Aid yourtelf, and God will cid you.
Aid yourself-you know the fable
or the wheel sunk in the road
How the carter was not able
BY bis prayers to move the load
Til, urged by some more wise beholder,
He moved the wheel with lusty shoulder.
Do your OWN work-your Maker babe you
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
1t is well TO help q brother
Or a sister when in need,
But believe me, there's another
MOTTO e-forgotten creed.
Better lore did never science
Teach to man than self-reliance.
'NE the law Of Him who made you:
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
Aid yourself-be not like ivy
Clinging still to wall or tree,
That can only rise by striving
For support increasingly.
Rather be the oak, maintaining,
Heart and branches self sustaining;
For this the Great Task Master made you
Aid yourself, and God will aid you.
