By awl means, Joe, get married, if
you hay fair show. Don't stand shiv-
ering on the bank, but pitch rite in and
stick your head under and shiver it out.
Thar amt any more trick in getting
married than there is in eating peanuts.
Many man has stood shivering on the
shore until the river run out. Don't
expect an angel-they have been
all picked up long ago. Remember,
Joe, you hain't saint yourself. Donot
marry for beauty exclusively; beauty is
like ice, awfully slippery and thaws
dreadfully easy. Don't marry for luv,
neither luv is like a cooking-stove,
good for nothing when the fuel gives
out. But let the mixture be some
beauty, becomingly dressed, with about
$3.50 in her pocket, gud speller, handy
and neat in her house, plenty of good
sense, tuff constitution and bylaws,
small feet, light step; add to this
sound teeth and warm heart The
mixture will keep in any climate and
will not evaporate. Don't marry for
pedigree unless it's backed by bank
notes. A family with nothing but pedi-
gree generally lacks sense.

COIOred Heroes.

Two colored laborers, named Telfair
and Stewart, went down into fre-well
in Charleston. A few moments later,
overcome by poisonous vapors, they
were lying in the mud and water gasp
ing for breath. A colored laborer named
Simons fastened to their relief. AS soon
as he felt the first effects of the noxious
gas he was hauled out. Undismayed, a
colored man named William Robertson
insisted on being lowered down the we'll
AS he touched the bottom he fell forward
as if shot. There were now three help
less, dying men in the well. Volunteers
were not wanting. A colored man named
James Seymour descended into the
depths, and fell as those who preceded
him had done.
Stewart, one of the two men who went
down to clean out the well, was taken
out alive. Telfair, his companion, was
dead. These two, Stewart and Telfair,
were engaged in their usual work.
Robertson and Seymour, who endeav-
Ored to save the stricken labOrers, were
dead when their bodies were removed.
They died for their friends. Brave and
loyal hearts had throbbed under the
d1sky skin. Knowing that they risked
their lives they demanded that they be
allowed to make an effort to rescue the
men of their own race who were breath
ing their last. They shared the lot of
the man whom they hoped to preserve
to his wife and children. Their own
wives are widows, and their children are
orphans.
When white men bear themselves as
Seymour and Robertson did, their names
ring through the land as heroes and
martyrs. Shall less honor be paid to
the two colored men who, with no hope
of reward or expectation of fame, sacri-
feed their lives on the altar of humanity :?
They are heroes and martyrs an honor,
an example and, we trust, an inspiration
to their race. The spirit Of true free
dom is indeed abroad when unlettered
colored laborers can rise to such height.

The curious fact that bullet fired
into a person loses weight, although I'M
accountably so, has just been made evil
dent by Prof. Lewis Balch, of Albany,
N. Y, in the progress Of the Billings
murder trial. Defense laid great stress
upon the point that the bullet which
caused Mrs Billings death weighed fifty
five grains less than the bullet carried
by Billings carbine, with which he was
said to have committed the deed but
Prof. Balch testified that he had shot
two bullets through two heads and found
that each weighed 221 grains before
they were fired, but that afterward they
weighed 1859 and 1891 grains each, al
though, after taking every precaution,
he could only find one particle of lead
which weighed less than one-seventh Of
a grain.

Lately an inhabitant of Naples in

make d trip to Paris. Immediately he

INDIA is coming forward as tea
growing country, and in 1879 furnished
Great Britain nearly one-ffth of its an
nual supply. The tea product of India
is steadily increasing, having risen from
27,814, 900 pounds in 1875 to 35, 400, 900
in 1878. The tea is stronger and cheap
er than the Chinese teas, but is said to
be not so mildly favored. Small con-
signments which have reached this
country, however, have been highly
praised by New York tea tasters. AS
the English statutes against adulteration
are vigorously enforced in India, 1000
chests OF tea adulterated by ''dust" we're
burned recently. Indian teas are not
"faced or colored as Chinese teas are,
and the leaf presents a more irregular
appearance. The new teas as they come
into use are likely to displace the Chi
nese teas of the lower grade, result
generally desirable.

PROF. WICKERsHEIMER, the celebrated
taxidermist attached to the Anatomical
Museum of Berlin, has just discovered a
liquid which, injected into the veins of
dead meat, not only preserves it for sew
eral weeks from decay, but keeps it per-
fectly fresh and in possession Of its nat
ural flavor. Having treated slaugh-
tered calf with his new preparation, and
subsequently caused it to be exposed
for fortnight to the air and weather
changes, hanging in the open front of
a butchers shop, he invited select
party Of scientific celebrities to partake
of the meat thus tested, providing for
them, however, other viands in case
the prepared veal should fail to suit

Two Children Commit Suicide Together,

Our hungarian contemporaries report
peculiarly painful case Of double sui
eide committed by two shepherd boys,
respectively aged 10 and -, near Karls-
burg. These lads were in charge of a
flock of sheep turned out to Craze on
some grass land abutting upon the
Karlsburg-Arad railway, and had been
several times reproved by the Waterman
stationed near their pasturage ground
for allowing the sheep to stray on the
line. On the 9th inst, just as the Arad
express came in sight, several sheep had
wandered down the embankment and
we're in imminent danger of being
crushed by the train, from which, how
ever, they were rescued by the timely
intervention of the Waterman in ques-
ton, who, as soon as the train had
passed, called up the boys and told them
that he would have them severely pun
ished for neglecting their duty and his
repeated warnings. The terrified lads
held consultation together as to how
they might escape the threatened pen
atty, and speedily came to the conclusion
that the best way OF getting out OF their
scrape would be to drown themselves.
One of them had just had new hat,
adorned with a gay peacock's feather,
given to him, which he sold for Is kreu-
zers to little peasant girl, who had
been at play with the boys when the
dreadful menace of punishment was i'm
parted to them. With the price of this
hat he purchased some small loaves,
and the three children sat down by the
Maros to hold their Ramona" OF
death-feast, and, this being terminated,
the boys climbed the parapet Of the Ma
ros bridge; their tiny playmate counted
aloud, "One, two, three" and at the
word three" they sprung, hand-in-
hand, into the river, sinking immedi-
ately under the broken ice with which
the surface Of the rapid stream was
partially covered. London Telegraph

PHILADELPHIA is astonished to find
that it is to have an elevated railroad.
The enterprise was kept secret until
very lately, and the first public init
nation of it was the rapid demolition
of houses. The line within the city
proper is to run on property owned by
the company, except where it crosses
streets. The projectors are the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, and it is
to run from their present depot, in West
Philadelphia, to Broad and Market
streets, in the heart of the city. The
job Of purchasing the ground of it's $50
owners was undertaken year ago by
trusty agents, and the buyers were over
100 different persons, who resold to the
company at the proper time. By this
plan the property was all acquired at
reasonable prices. The structure is to
be of brick and iron, and the Schuylkill
is to be crossed by massive bridge.

IT is said that Martin Battles, who,
twenty years ago, murdered a man
through jealousy in Chautauqua county,
N. Y, has lately become insane through
remorse, imagining that the ghost Of
his victim continually follows him. His
escape from punishment was curious.
He was tried, convicted and sentenced
to death. During the previous year the
Legislature had passed a law defining
the degrees of murder and declaring the
penalty for murder in the first degree
should be imprisonment for one year,
after which, upon warrant issued by
the Governor, the convicted person
should be taken out and executed.
Under this statute Battles was SEN
fenced and incarcerated at Auburn.
During his imprisonment the Court Of
Appeals declared the statute under which
he was convicted unconstitutional, and
he was released.

was assured that his speedy demise was

why he was SO anxious to get exact in
formation. He had murdered man
twelve years before, and had never been
suspected Of the crime. He desired to
confess and be forgiven, if he really was
going to die, but not otherwise. He
died, and the truth of his statement has
been amply sustained.

SO toothsome and delicate that they
confined their attentions to it exclus-
lively, neglecting all the other solid
items in his menu.

A MILITARY small-arm manufacturer at
Wurzburg has invented a simple appara-
tus which will enable any ordinary
breech-loading rifle or gun with central
ignition to be used as a saloon rifle, thus
allowing men to be exercised at target
practice in the drill shed, or even IN their
rooms. The invention consists of tube
of cast steel of the same length as the
barrel of the rifle with which it is to be
used, but of very small caliber. This
tube is fitted with brass rings about an
inch wide, which enable it to be pushed
into and pulled out of the barrel of a
rifle without in any way iniuring the in
terror Of the piece. The cartridge used
is of steel, and is SO designed that none
of the gas generated by the explosion of
the small charge Of decorating substance
used to propel the bullet can escape to
iniure the bore of the rifle.

Two Bets Lost.

Two members Of Congress disputed
one day as to whose chain was the heav-
Ter. Each one bet $40 his chain was
the heavier, and they settled it by
weighing the chains in the scales at the
House postoffice. A few days afterward
the winner of the bet was in a jewelry
store, when he saw his brother Con-
CHEESEMAN'S chain in a glass case. He
remarked that he had seen that chain
before, and wa told it had been left
there to have two extra links put in.
g Smelling rat" he Immediately went
to rival jewelers. and ordered three
extra links to be put in his own chain.
Some days passed, and one day he was
approached by the other Congressman,
who declared the House postoffice scales
imperfect, and believed his chain would
be the heaviest g on a fair weigh" The
former winner pretended to protest that
the scales were all right, and let himself
be bantered into another bet of $50, to
be decided by a jewelers. scales. OF
course he won this bet, too.
