A lady of Evansville, Ind, who had
been grossly insulted several times in

This is one way to bury the hatchet,

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 n man

peculiar motion of the jaw, and she is
ploit not little.

The enormous quantity of so-called

horde of bandits, under the leadership

are reported to be little short of soul
subduing by those who have been for

History of Billiards.

A New York paper says Billiards
are played so much in this country that
the game is not unfrequently mentioned
as American, although its origin is
either French or Italian-it is uncertain
which. The game, however, was i'm
ported into Britain from France, and
was known to Englishmen by name as
early as the sixteenth century, since
Shakespeare speaks of it-he seems to
have been little less than omniscient-in
several of his dramas. He even portrays
Cleopatra as amusing herself with bill
lizards, but this is unquestionably one of
the palpable anachronisms to which he
appears to have been Indifferent, and
which he scattered throughout his
plays. The game itself was, in all like
lihOod, medieval, but as played nova
days is comparatively modern. For
two centuries it was played with only
two (white) balls, and when the third
(red) ball was imported into Britain,
the red winning hazard, or holing of
the red ball, was well-nigh the sole OBJ
ject of the players. The billiard-table
of the present is as different as it well
can be from the billiard-table of two
hundred years ago, as persons know
who have noticed their evolution as
represented by the tables of divers eras.
The greatest billiardists are the Rus
slams, Spaniards, French and Ameri-
cans, who now play far more than any
other nation. The popularity of the
game has increased greatly here within
! the last twenty years. 1t is said that
| there are six times as many tables in
! the country as there were at the begin
ming OF the civil war. Europeans sup
/ pose that all Americans play billiards.
! irrespective of sex, age or position.

The RosI Rmbbcr Boot.

There is nothing better for farmer or out
door man than a good rubber boot, and nothing
so exasperating as a bad one. Competition
among manufacturers has led to such a cheap
ening of quality that until lately it was u hard
thing to find rubber boot really worth the
money asked for it. The Candee Rubber Co.
OF New Haven, CT, however, has lately put on
the market boot designed to meet tht call
for real good, substantial article, and TO
denote its freedom from adulterative mixtures
it is called the "95 Per Cent. Sterling Boot"
1t is made, on honor, AS pure us can be made
and is warranted three months. by an inge-
niOus contrivance space is provided at the
top OF the leg for recording the date OF the
sale, by punching holes in the spaces pro-
vided-hke railroad cI;et-so that there
may be no trouble abouG the warrant. The
upper and leg of the "95" Boots are
doubled, and the solcs are One-hnli inch thick,
OF solid rubber from Ior 10 heel. Ordinary
rubber boots are barely a quarter inch thick
in the thickest part, and only one-eighth at
the shank. A descriptive circular can be OBJ
tanned by sending postal direct to the COM
pany; or the "95" Boots can be found at
most OF the stores.

THE more the returns from Vermont
are examined, the more significant be-
comes the victory there. There was
never at any time any fear on the one
side, or hope on the other, that the Dem
ocratic party would be able to carry the
State. But what was looked for was
some indication of the drift of popular
sentiment. Had the Republican vote
fallen off to any extent, the Democratic
party would have Immediately claimed
a moral success, and would have been
right in so doing, for the mass of party
always votes the party ticket. 1t is
very small percentage of change in the
action of voters that sweeps the electo-
raj votes of States from the column of
one party to that of the other. Had the
Vermont returns shown a Democratic
gain sufficiently great in ratio, when ap-
piled to close States, to figure out Dem
ocratic majorities, there would have been
a jubilant claim of victory on the part
of the Democratic party, and they would
undoubtedly have gained in prestige.
The Republican gain is, however, posi-
tive and indisputable. Not only is the
majority larger than at any election
since 1872, but the Republican vote is
the heaviest ever cast. The effect is to
rudely dissipate the Democratic delu-
sion, that Gen. Hancock's personal pop
ulority would serve them in lieu of poll
cy or principles in this campaign. Yer
mont's answer to the proposal of Il
change in the government is, that that
is just what is to be feared and opposed
by intelligent and conservative public
opinion.

THE New York Tribune of Friday
publishes a fac-simile of Congressman
BeltzhoOver's letter of last April in
which he declared that with the pres
ent Democratic House pension bills do
not meet with much favor" and that
"the rebel general who is at the head of
the Pension Committee in the Senate is
still more averse to allowing any such
bills to pass" 1t also prints fac-simile
of an undisputed letter of Beltzhoover's
and that they were both written by the
same person no impartial person can
doubt. Mr.. E. w. Curriden, bookseller
of Chambersburg, who received letter
in reply to one written by him, showed
it to some friends Immediately after its
receipt last April. Mr.. Beltzhoover also
wrote to Mr.. J. A. C. Minnich, of York,
Pennsylvania, that the House "was a
very bad one for pensions" Notwith-
standing the overwhelming character of
the evidence against him, Mr. Beltz-
hoover still denounces the letter as ian
infamous forgery" but declines the Tri-
bune's invitation to sue it for libel.
