Things That Occu rrcd i'm
1879.


LITTLE EVENTS THAT CREATED
SENSATIONS WHEN THEY TOOK
PLACE
From the Detroit Free Press.
During the year just buried and
wept over several things happen
ed which will never lie mention
ed in the dictionary or encyclof &C.
dia, but should be remembered by
the public all The same.
The number Of men who pulled
their guns toward them by the
muzzlc was aboat fifty. Que trial
will satisfy you that it never fails.
Eighteen hundred and seventy
nine was a good year for the fool
who points unloaded revolvers at
his aunt and other folks. He man
aged to keel over about twenty
victims, and is really sorry" for
il. He wouldn't have done it for
nothing, you know.
During the dead year eleven
photographers got off jokes on the
mother-in-law. and then softly
slipped into their last resting place
beneath the willows 1t is well.
Nobody has missed them:
The numbers of orators who in
1878 began their speeches with
Fellow citizens of this glorious
country" was eighty-five; the
number in 1879 was only eighty
four. Let us be thankful for small
favors and have hopes of the fu-
ture.
The kerosene can showed a de-
cided falling off in activity. Only
seventeen females hurried up the
fire.
OF the 152 householders who
borrowed shotguns and took dead
aim at "that internal cat" three
hit the cat and the remainder
Knocked over small boys and 9TH
er live stock, and are now wonder
ing how on earth they could posi-
bly, have done it.
Eighteen hundred and seventy
nine was a good year for deaf per-
sons to go visiting. Thirty-four
of them took the railroad track to
save distance. The day expr ess
was on time.
The last year was also noticea-
BILE for the number Of persons who
took a quiet smoke after going to
bed, fell asleep and passed into q
better land at the expense of in
surance companies. A clay pipe
and cents worth of tobacco are
all the outfit needed.
The number of kind-hearted
people who went out hunting,
mistook a friend for wild turkey,
fox or grizzly and peppered him
dead was fourteen, with Rhode
Island to hear from. Every one
of them felt bad enough to cry, but
mistakes will happen in all fami-
lies.
The sea serpent was seen only
nine times during 1879. This may
influence some persons to believe
that he is gradually dying out
and will soon become extinct, but
there is no danger of it--nOt with
the present brand of sea captains.
The number of mothers who left
rat poison and other fatal doses
where the children could get at
them was twenty-one. This is a
decrease over the previous year,
and in the dim future womankind
may possibly realize the fact that
children, cats, rats, cockrOaches
and ants are susceptible to the
same influence.

A Pitiful Story.
Kansas City Journal.

hansaS Slty JournaL.
Mr.. J. A. Bovard relates a sad
story of q young Scotchman, who
was engaged in mining near Cher
okee, Kan. The young. man,
whose name Mr.. Bovard could
not recall, came to America about
eight years ago, and for several
years he has been a fine yonng fell
low, sober, industrious, jolly, and
a general favorite. BY hard work
and the strictest economy he had
accumulated enough to buy little
home, and sent back to Scotland
for his father and mother to CON o
and live with him. They were to
arrive last Thursday, and the
young fellow was overjoyed at tn @
prospect of meeting his aged par
ents, whom he had not seen since
he left. Midlothian. The very day
they were to arrive the Scotchman
was working in one of the mines,
when a car Of coal fell on him at
the bottom Of the shaft and killed
him almost instantly. The aged
father and mother arrived few
hours later, all impatient to see
their noble boy. 1t was a sad and
terrible disappointment, and even
the rough miners wept like little
children at the grief of the old peo-
pie and the loss of their loved COM
rade.

More effectually than fever and ague. That nerve

however, be found all sufficient either for its Grad

The Duration of Christ's Life.
Presbyterian Review

This is generally confined to thirty
two OF thirty three years. The differ
ence from one or two years arises
from the different views on the length
of his public ministry. Christ died and
arose again in the full vigor of early
manhood, and so continues to live in
the memory Of the church. The de-
cline and weakness of old age is incon-
sistent with his position as the renova-
tor and Saviour Of mankind. Iren@us,
otherwise las disciple of Polycarp,
who was disciple of St. JOHN the
most trustworthy witness of apostolic
tradition among the fathers, held the
untenable opinion that Christ attained
to the ripe age of forty or fifty years,
and taught over ten years beginning
with the thirteenth and that he thus
passed through all the stages of human
life, to save and sanctify "old men,
as ''infants and children, and boys and
youths"

Then and Now.

In the year 1910 Victoria then u
young queen, rode on horseback with
her young husband by her side to re-
view the troops at Windsor Park. She
was attired in q military costume, with
q riding habit made with broad collar
turned back from the bosom, showing
a little waistcoat Of white pique with
turquoise buttons. A hig military
stock of black silk supported her chin,
above which not the smallest symptom
of white collar was perceptible. On
her head she wore Il military cap with
the Widc-spreading crown, already in
dicatiye of the German influence which
was so soon to penetrate every depart
mcnt of royal life and preside over
every other taste, from the color of !,
ribbon to the choice of Il minister. The
cap of dark blue cloth, and had a bur-
nished leather peak in front. Not q
vestige ofhair was seen about her fore
head or down the side of her face, and
but for the stray lock just behind her
ear, she mi ght have been taken for
some Woolwich cadet. The blue rib
bon across her bosom and the brilliant
star above gave finish to her figure
which would have otherwise proved
coarse. The other day-exactly forty
years had passed-the same queen re-
viewed the troops again in that same
Windsor Park; but had the same OBJ
server been there, he would have be-
held, instead of the fresh young girl to
whom the stiff: hard collar and peaked
cap failed to give hardness Of express
sion, a worn and grieved matronly lady
still mindful of the regret she had VOW
ed for her departed love, clad, although
not quite in widows weeds, still in gar
ments of such sober shape and hue
that the observer was made to feel the
sorrow by which the royal wearer was
still borne down.

Prince Of Wales. This gentleman,
somewhat Miss Nelson's senior,
was infatuated with the act
tress, and made cvertures of ;mar-
riage to her. The affair came to the
ears of the prince, who intimated to
the admiral that, if he married Miss
Nelson she would never be received at
court, and would probably ruin his
career. The gentleman informed his
royal master that he should marry the
lady, if she would have him, whether
it exiled him or not, and the prince
must take his own course about recog-
nizing them afterward. Miss Nelson
declined the honor, however, giving her
reason in these words, peculiarly those
of woman: "1f / respected the man
less l would marry him; as it is, I can
not. He would bore me to death in a
year." Another sutton was more sue
cessfuk It is not known that in ALL
gust last, just before she sailed for
America, Miss Nelson was privately
married, in London, to Mr.. Edward
Compton, the actor who supported her
in leading parts last year. It thus ap-
pears that the question of the DISPOSE
ton of her fortune seems to be deli
cate one. 1t has been stated that the
American divorce would probably not
stand law in England. Should this
turn out to be so; should no heirs of
blood presen themselves, and should it
be ascertained that Mr.. Lee has not
since married, the question may lead
to long litigation between Mr.. Lee and
Mr.. Compton, who will of course, assert
his claims, and Mrs Nelson's hard
earned fortune will probably be half
consumed by greedy lawyers. Miss
Nelson was kind and generous to
whom the suffering and unfortunate
never appealed in vain. Her hand
went to her pocket instinctively when
a tale of distress and poverty was told
her.
