A Man Survives a Draining,

John Harris, who had his head split
open by a falling axe at the new Yellow
Jacket shaft, some two years ago, is
again on the Comstock. Although that
axe fell about l6O feet upon his head,
and he lost in consequence strip Of
skull-bone four inches long and two
and half inches wide, he has taken
that head to England with him and
brought it back, and thinks good deal
of it and with it yet. His is one of those
exceptional cases in surgery of which
there are not half q dozen in the books,
and which ranks with that where a
tamping iron, blown by prematurely
discharged blast, passed through man s
head from chin to crown, and yet failed
to kill him,
The cash made by this axe in Harris
head was large enough to kill half a
dozen men. When the bones were taken
by the surgeons from the wound tho
large vein between the lobes ofthe brain
sent torrent of blood gushing forth.
1t was stanched with lint and the man
rallied. The surgeon feared to remove
the lint lest he should bleed to death,
and it remained some two weeks till it
became so far decayed as to force its
removal, Contrary to expectation no
blood followed, nor was there any sec
ondary hemorrhage from the wound.
Harris has pretty much recovered from
the effects of the accident. He says he
experiences no head trouble whatever,
but lie has a hitch in his walk, a sort ol
jerk, let.go-and-go-on movement
which is the result of the hurt. Hon
a wonderfully good man for one upon
whom the experiment of dropping an
axe 100 feet upon his head was success.

woman is the conundrum of the nine
teenth century," An American editor
adds: 1--WE can't guess her, but will
never give her up-no, never"
Mrs. Marietta X. Benchley, widow o
Henry w. Benchley, who was lieutenant
governor of Massachusetts shortly be-
fore the war, died recently in New York
and willed her brain to DIR. Lozier, and
her skeleton, after dissection, to the
woman's medical college.
A lady of Evansville, Ind, who had
been grossly insulted several times in
the streets of that place, finally drew a
hatchet and sunk it in the cheek of the
insulter, cutting through to the bone.
This is one way to bury the hatchet,
and 1T was a pretty good one.
Marie Louise, the second wife of the
great Napoleon, was in the habit of
amusing the ladies of her court at their
private soirees by turning her ears
almost completely round, and in man
ner closing them up. She did this by
peculiar motion of the jaw, and she is
said to have prided herself on the ex-
plot not little.
A pretty miss of eighteen, who belongs
toya good family in Utica City, Ind,
and has been we'll educated, has recently
been released from Jail, where she was
awaiting trial tor kleptomania. The
most influential people in the country
united in an appeal for the dismissal Of
the indictment, and the court gladly ac-
quiesced in nolle prosequi.
The enormous quantity of so-called
kid gloves is greatly in excess OF the
amount of leather afforded by the skins
of all the young goats annually killed to
supply the demand. There has long
been quite trade carried on in Paris by
the gamins in rat skins, who have much
profitable sport in catching them at the
mouths of the great drains OF the city.
Real kid skins come from Switzerland
and Tuscany.

A Farmer Poet.

A farmer poet has blossomed into
song in England and publishes under
the title of "Wet Days" series OF
poems, which give effective and graphic
pictures of nature in language at once
simple and eloquent. In The Camp
on the Hill " he writes:
There's something better than keep there; for
once on that messy sod
You leave the world behind you and are face
to face with God.
There's pool by the cairn on the top, where
the wild ducks used to be,
And lark from the Roman camp used to
sing and soar over me;
| thought him the hills own spirit it would
have been shame to kill;
Perhaps you may here his song ere you reach
the top OF the HILL
know Gods everywhere; in the city and in
the Exchange,
AS well as the hill and the moor, wherever
mortal can range; s
But ahl the pure sky yondcr, no smoke OBJ
scuring the blue!
Mans not the same in the city, and God may
be different, too.
This is from another poem, called
Birds Songs"
Birds are the only happy things;
They sing through rain or sun content
Our songs are prayers, not thanksgivings,
Fear, hope or enyy's itiul vent,
Impertinent regrets tor wings
We could not use, for riches spent
For chances given and thrown away,
Or something wanting night and day
The London Standard says of these
poems There is in them something
more than rhyme and rhythm; they are
instinct with humanity, They have in
their way a charm which will tell more
with the multitude of readers than rig
orous conformity to the artistic essons

Perseverance,.

Perseverance. ~
One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
One brick upon another, .-
And the highest wall is made;
One flake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral workers,
By their slow and constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark-blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
By oft-repeated effort
Have been patiently achieved.
Then do not looked disheartened,
On the work you have to do,
And say that such q nishty@tasl ~
ou never can get through;
But just endeavor, day by day,
Ahotner point to gain,
And soon the mountain which you feared
VIII prove to be plain! ---
Rome was not builded in day."
The ancient proverb teaches,
And nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermon breaches. .
Think not OF tar-off duties,
But of duties which are near,
And having once begun to work,
Resolve to persevere.

celVes the many sea-serpent stories with
a grain OF allowance. He was hunting
on the shores of 4 lake in the wilds OF
Michigan, when he saw what he be-
lieved to be monster snake, fifty or
sixty feet in length, and ten or twelve
inches in diameter, with humps on it's
back two feet in length. At first it's course
was almost directly toward his place OF
concealment. When he was about to
run for his life, the /" serpent" then q

Divorce Granlcd.

A the present term OF court which
has just closed, divorce was granted
to DR.. S. L. West from his wife Emma
T. West. The case has been peuding
in court for many years and happily
for the Doctor and all parties concerned
it is over. Nothing was ever alleged
against the character of either of the
parties to the suit, but there,,was mere
ly that incompatibility Of temperament
which not only rendered their lives
miserable but made it impossible for
them to live together. For FIVE years
the Doctor has lived a secluded life,
depriving himself of all social pleasures
AID devoting himselfto TO the practice of
his profession in which he has attained
high degree Of skill and experience.
1t is hoped that the profitable Lesson
the Doctor has learned will guide him in
his choice of another wife if he may see
proper to enter again into the married
state.
