A lying witness will often tell very
glib story, but he generally fails to
guard all his weak points. At trial in
court the following took place in at

But before the question could be
finished, the witness wife seized him
by the collar and whisked him outside
of the witness-box. yelling in his af-
frighted ear:

A Duel With LariatS.

A singular duel occurred in the Indi-
an Territory between two cattle-drivers
going home from drive to Colorado.
Both are Mexicans, and quarreled about
woman. Their names are Don Juan
De La Cruz, of Goliad, and Pedro
Garcia, of Bell county, Texas. Their
friends refused to let them fight with
pistols, and they determined to do SO
with Mexican lariats, or lasso ropes,
made of hair. The duel took place on
the open prairie. At the word of COM
mand, both combatants, mounted on
fine horses and bran dishing their lassoes,
wheeled their steeds and dashed to-
ward each other, both crouching low in
their saddles to avoid the flying moose.
The lassos were simultaneously flung.
Garcia's moose was hurled at De La
Cruz's head with unerring aim, and, the
moose encircling his neck, he was
jerked out of his saddle with terrible
violence, but not enough to break his
neck. Both men were riding at full
speed. De La Cruz was severely in
jured, and the rope was broken by the
sudden snap and strain. Both duelists
are satisfied, and have returned to their
homes in Texas.-St. Louis Globe

THE terrible depression which has
prevailed in England in commercial
matters during the past year could not
be more pressively shown than it is
by short note printed in the London
Times. It appears that the number of
bills of sale registered in the Queens
Bench for the twelve months ended
the 3lst of December exceeded 10000.
This is more than four times the num-
Der registered III 1875, nearly four times
the number of 1876, more than three
times the number in 1877, and very
much more than double that Of 1878.

How to Train the Memory.

Your memory is bad. perhaps, but I
can tell you two secrets that will cure
the worst memory. One of them is to
read subject when interested; the
other is to not only read, but think.
When you have read a paragraph or a
page stop, close the book and try to re-
member the ideas on the page, and not
only call them vaguely to mind. but
put them in words and speak them out.
Faithfully follow these two rules and
you have the golden keys of knowledge.
Besides inattentive reading, there are
other things injurious to the memory.
One is the habit of skimming over
newspapers, items of news, smart re-
marks, bits of information, political re-
Elections, fashion notes, 80 that all is q
confused tumble, never to be thought
of again, thus diligently cultivating a
habit of careless reading hard to
break. Another is the reading oil
trashy novels.

REPEATED and frequent discovery OF
dishonesty iii m.n who have long oc-
cupied positions OF trust arouses gen
eral feeling of insecurity and distrust.
1t is uncomfortable to be suspicious,
but the times indicate that we cannot
know whom it is safe to consider and
treat as perfectly trustworthy. There
fore business rules in some respects
should be more strict; the accounts of
those who in any way have the funds Of
others in their charge should be regu-
larly, frequently and thoroughly ex-
amined-not because of suspicion, but
that everything may be go open and
clear that suspicion becomes impossi-
BILE. Every truly-honest man who has
the management of the financial affairs
of corporations or of individuals will
desire in such times as these that ac-
counts and statements be examined and
tested. And if some strict rule of this
kind be stringently carried ont, no one
can feel offended, and many who are
unconscientious will be kept from
yielding to temptation.

FIRE is scarcely less to be dreaded
that Nihilism in Russia. The official
reports of the Governors show that
during the single month of November
last the number of fires was 4,9lS, of
which $40 were proved to result from
incendiarism, 1860 from carelessness,
81 from lightning, while 2,432 cases
were unexplained. Probably a large
number OF these last cases were incen-

done by fires during the month of No.

Tbles, rather heavy indirect tax on the
country.

complaining that, while he had been
sufficiently taught as to the fastening of
the shoes and the Welding of the toes,
he had not been instructed in the MAX

the craft call taking fire." The mas
ter obtained verdict, having pleaded
that the youth received the customary
instruction and was given the usual OPP
portunities to learn the trade; that he
proved stirring and likely young fell
low, and when bis apprenticeship ex-
PRED was above the average run of APP

absurd notion that he should possess

FROM papers hitherto withheld the
story of Andrew Jackson's marriage is
now told correctly in the Cincinnati
Commercial for the first time. Rachel
Donelson, his wife, grew up among the
stirring scenes of frontier life, and when
yet in her teens married Capt. Louis
Richards. Robards treated her so
wretchedly that Peyton Short, Vir-
ginia lawyer, wrote to Mrs. Robards ad-
vising her to get divorce. AS was in
tended, the letter fell into the hands of
the husband, the idea being to provoke
duel. Instead of fighting, the craven
husband tried to blackmail Short for
money. Mrs. Richards was taken by
her husband to Kentucky, where she
was placed at Mrs. Donelson's boarding
house. Andrew Jackson was boarder
there. He fell in love with Mrs. Rob-
ards, and, having learned that the Vir-
ginia Legislature had granted her di-
vorce, married her. Two years after
the marriage be heard, TO his horror,
that his wife had not been divorced at
all. He set to work, however, got the
divorce, and, in 1894, he was remarked.

Sis 1t Il Queer Cure ;"

We find i'll our exchanges this para
graph going the rounds:
"a child in Auburn, i'll of diphtheria,
whose life was despaired of, was cured
By Stacking lime. Small Jumps of lime
were kept constantly Stacking near its
mouth for more than day and half,
until more than barrel of lime was
thus Stacked. The child was thought
to be dying before this remedy was en-
ployed. 1t breathed the fumes of the
lime constantly until cured. - Bangor
(Me.) Wing.
This may sound queer" but it is
not only cure-if properly used-for
diphthefia, but in connection with hot
steam it positively cures membranous
Group. That dread scourge of so many
households, whose light and Joy of life
has gone out with the loss of loved
children, is no longer an unmanageable
disease. The method of using steam
mingled with the fumes of Stacked lime
is very successful in both diphtheria
and "old-fashioned Group" The bed
is covered over and made as close tent
as possible. Into this close tent, where
the little patient lies, and must be kept,
pipe is introduced which leads from
boiling water near the bedside. Into a
pan of warm water Jumps of unslacked
lime are occasionally dropped; the
Stacking makes, of course, hot fer
ment aud bubbling, and the imy per-
fumes pretty well till the tent and are
breathed by the child. 1t may or may
not require nurse or parent to stay
much of the time in the tent, on the
bed with the child, to keep it quiet and
contented. Sometimes it takes two or
three days the boiling water and lime
being duly renewed as often as they
fail, and the hot air and steam in the
little tent kept mp night and day. One
little boy on Trumbull street, in this
city, lay for six days without change
while suffering from mem branous Group
which threatened death--but, at last
when all the doctors began to despair
the Group yielded, and the little fel.
lows life was saved. The remedy, we
think, works equally well in diphtheria
and the time required, either in diph.
liberia or Group, Is not often more than
two days. But in the case of diphthe
ria, burning sulphur is very importan,
additional advantage, which must moi
be omitted. The sulphur may be burned
on hot fre-shovel, held under the
| tent.-HdrtfOrd Times.

1T is probable that the name OF Mar
Gus A. Reno, of the Seventh cavalry,
will soon be dropped for al time here
after from the army register. The rec
ord in the recent court-martial has been
received by the Judge Advocate Cen

ond time that court-martial has found
him guilty of offenses deemed punish
able by dismissal from the army, it is
not likely that the President will again

A WASHINGTON correspondent thus
refers to serious unpleasantness that
has sprung up between Gen. w. L.
Sherman and Gen. III. V. Boynton, the
well-known newspaper correspondent:
In an interview that he knew was to be
published, Gen. Sherman stated that
Gen. Boynton was man entirely with
out character, and that for a thousand
dollars he would SANDER his own moth
er; that he is very persistent and ener-
getic in manufacturing falsehoods, and
many other similar remarks, referring
to Boyntons attack upon the accuracy
of Sherman's autobiography. Gen.
Boynton comes out in a card announc-
ing that he will select tribunal and
a form of action which will afford Gen.
Sherman an opportunity to prove the
truth of these statements, or exhibit
him to the world AZ reckless SANDER

man. inclosing a copy of the interview,
and asked Sherman if he had been cor
rectly reported. Sherman replied III

the affirmative, and s.speatsdi what he
had said. Boyhton at opce took steps
to bring alibel suit. Uuaer the law Of
the District Of Columbia no true state
ment is libel, no matter how severe it
may be; but Gen. Sherman will find it
very difficult to prove the truth of his
statements about Gen. Boynton, who is
universally regarded as reliable and
conscientious correspondent.
