Privacy.

Aworthy wife OF forty years standing,
and whose life was not made up of sun
shine and peace, gave the following
sensible and impressive advice to a mar
ried pair of her acquaintance. The adj
vice is good: "Preserve sacredly. the
privacies of your own house, your mar
ried state of your heart. Let no father
or mother, sister or brother ever pre-
sumo to come between you two, or to
share your joys and sorrows that belong
to you two alone. Build your quiet
world, not allowing your dearest earthly
friend to be the confidant Of aught that
concerns your domestic happiness. Let
moments of alienation, if they occur, be
healed at once. Never, no never, speak
OF it outside, but each other confess,
and all will come out right. Never let
the morrow's u find you at variance.
Review and renew Your vow-it will do
you good; and hereby your souls will
grow together, cemented in that love
which is stronger than death, and you
will become truly one"

The Arkan.a. Election.

The election in the State of Arkansas was
held on the 9th inst. An associated press dis
patch from Little Rock says: Indications are
that at the election for State and county Off
GERS and members of the Legislature the DEM
ocrats carried the State by the usual majority.
The election here passed off quietly. The Re-
publicans claim the election of W. s.. Oliver as
Sheriff of Pulaski County, but nothing definite
can be ascertained, however, before morning.
There were three tickets in the field in THE
(PulaskO county-Democratic, Republican and
Greenback. 1t will take the official count to
determine the result. The main question voted
on was the proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition repudiating certain bonds, which was de-
feated in this county by over 1000 majority.
Reports from Jefferson, Miller and other
counties, report overwhelming majorities
against it. 1t is the opinion of Col. Smithe,
Chairman of the Democratic State Central
COMMITTEE, that the amendment is defeated,
and the Democratic State ticket elected by co..
600 majority

Rad Casa.

Lynn Brooks, q young man residing in Della
ware County, Ind, desperately loved two
maidens, and two maidens, perhaps foolishly,
also desperately loved Lynn Brooks. On Sum-
day afternoon Brooks and one of the smitten
fair ones took q promenade and talked, and
yes, kissed, Of course. The other much.
loved unfortunate altogether too importunatei
kindly but firmly objected in terms which a
blind man could have measured with a yard
stick. This hurt Brooks heart, wounded him
deeply. He loved them both fondly and I'M
selfshly. Several young men, ~neighbors, were
amusing themselves in the barnyard, and, With
blanched cheek, going into their midst, Brooks
begged the loan of a revolver, to shoot rats
with, he said by way Of prevarication. The
weapon was given him. Returning to the
house, he passed the censuring girl in silence,
went to a room upstairs and ended his earthly
career. 1t is not mentioned that either one of
the girls had hysteria,. but the incident OF
"loyed too much and undoubtedly" furnishes
q t~irst-rate topic for conversation among the
ueighbors.

The Way They DO It In Paris.

The condemned to death in France are kept
in ignorance of the hour, or even day, set for
their execution. So Menesclon, who has just
been g~uillotined, was kept. In company with
two ~jailors, he had passed a pleasant evening
retiring at midnight, in Ignorance of the doom
near at hand. At daybreak, the Governor of
the prison, with priest and executioner, entered,
and informed him that his hour had arrived.
Menesclon was in an agony of fear, and it was
with difficulty that the executioner and his as
sistants made what is called 'the toilet" cut
ting the hair of the prisoner short, cutting off
the collar of his shirt, and binding his hands
behind him. This being lone the convict was
hurried through the corridor to the door which
opened upon the square where the guillotine
was ready to receive him.. The scene at this
moment was terribly somber. The sun was
just rising, but its light was obscured by dense
clouds, and at the moment the prison door
opened a violent storm of thunder and light
ming broke forth. TIL condemned at this in
slant was overcome with terror and sank
almost to the ground. The assistants of the
executioner had to drag him to the guillotine,
which had been erected only a few PAGES from
the portal of the prison, and ms moment after
ward the knife had fallen and all was over.

1t is strange that whenever women array
themselves in male attire with murderous in
tent, they meet with death at the hands of some
man who incidentally has been given permits
sion to sleep in somebody's barn. The follow
ing case is precisely coincident with several
others that have recently occurred, and while
this fact naturally suggests the possibility of
"crookedness," there is nc proof remaining to
sustain such a charge. 1t is related that near
Gratz, in Owen County, Kentucky, two women,
named Goodrich, wives of the murderers that
were hung two years ago, dressed themselves
in male attire and went by night to the home
of a lady in the neighborhood, whose name is
not stated, and whose husband was absent at
the time. The lady was thought to have 800
and the female desperadoes wanted it. A ped
der had stopped in the house in the evening
and secured permission to sleep in the barn.
The Goodrich women entered the house and
attacked the woman with knives. Her screams
brought the peddler from the barn with a pis-
tol. He at once opened fire on the assassins.
killing one instantly and wounding the other.
The lady of the house died from her wounds
before the arrival of her husband. The facts
as above stated were given to the husband by
the peddler and the wounded Goodrich woman.

The seham Calamity.

A London dispatch concerning the seham
Colliery calamity, dated the 10th inst, gives
the following further particulars Of that sad
affairs: The explosion in the Seaman Mine
makes 76 widows and 284 orphans. A large
majority of the victims were single men. AT
two this morning the frat of the victims of the
disaster were brought up from the mines. Be-
fore all the bodies could be removed the fire
again broke out, and was not extinguished
until seven. One hundred and thirty is the
lowest estimate of the dead, and it is estimated
there were 400 horses and ponies in the mine.
The bodies of the twelve men brought up are
frightfully disfgured. There are eleven more
bodies near the pit shaft. 1t will be some time
before the other bodies can be recovered, and
some may never be found, as they are buried
under the debris of the explosion. Another
fire has begun in No. 8 shaft, at the ventilating
furnace. This will delay the explorations.
From a list published, it appears 1872 men and
boys are missing. The latest official statement
places the number of killed at lat. A broken
Dayy safety lamp has been brought up from
the main seam, and it is believed throws some
light upon the origin the disaster.

why Are There Unmarried Women .

why AI0 4uoI0 Onmarfl6u WOluou
One of the greatest social problems Of
the day is to explain why there are so
many manageable women who never
get married. Some say it is owing to an
excess In numbers of women over men,
in consequence of which there are not
husbands enough to go round. This,
however, is disproved by statistics. Take
the worl1 through, and figures show
that there are as many men in it as there
are women Others attribute it to the
expensiveness of modern life. Men do
not marry because, it is said, they an
not afford to. But the fact is that no
man who truly loved a woman ever hest
tated to become engaged to her and
eventually marry her because of pow
erty. There are cold-blooded men, with
no idea of any feeling for a woman
stronger than languid admiration, who
may be deferred from assuming what
they regard as q burdeni in the shape of a
wife, unless assured of a liberal income,
but most are not SO calculating. 9th
ers, again, attribute the evil to women's
fastidiousness. They expect too much
in a husband, and, while waiting for an
impossible shadow, let the possible sub
stance slip through their fingers. This
Is a libel on the sex. As a rule, they
are no more fastidious than men are,
and are just a susceptible as men to
that enchantment of love which invests
its object with every perfection and COW
ers up every fault. So far as men and
women are concerned, they are as prone
to marriage now as in any period of the
worlds history. Nevertheless, there are
women waiting for husbands and moi
getting them. They are pretty, they
are accomplished, they are sensible,
and, under proper training, they would
make excellent wives and mothers, but
they never get a chance. What seems
to be needed is a more thorough method
of bringing men and women into social
contact with each other.-Cricket on
the Hearth.

The storm In jamaica.

Later news from Jamaica confirms the terri
bic destruction to property there by recent
storms. The island is reported as having been
put back two years. Banana cultivation is
ruined, and there are no mangoes, no yams,
and no pears to be seen. Cocoanut trees are
nearly all destroyed. Houses everywhere have
either been leveled to the ground or had the
roofs torn from there. At the market towns
persons come with empty hands and traffic Is
limited to an interchange of stories, which are
sobbingly told. There is literally no business
going on anywhere, except the work of restoring
to some sort of shape the disturbed and shat
tered dwellings,. In many of the towns the
government Offices and buildings suffered much
and the clerks are unable to transact business.
In short, the wall which comes from Jamaica
through the newspapers is one of genuine and
profound distress.

A F1y story.

The steamer Martin, bound south, on Hud-
son River, reports having encountered a fly
storm between New York and Hamburg. 1t
reached southwark from shore to shore, as far
as the eye could reach and as high up. There
were millions upon millions of the flies, and
they hurried northward as thick as snow-fakes
driven by a strong wind. They lodged upon
the clothing of the passengers IN the steamer
and were infinitely examined. They were long
and black and had white wings, and the cloud
must have been miles in length. The steamer
Mary Powell ran into the iy-storm off Hayer-
straw, and first mate Bishop says that in all
his experience he never witnessed such q sight.

The Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet.
Whether the form is slender or plump,
the rule holds good, any deviation from
it is a departure from the highest
beauty in proportion.
The Greeks make all their statues nc
cording to this rule. The face, from the
highest point of the forehead, where the
hair begins, to the chin, is one-tenth of
the whole stature. The hand, from the
wrist to the middle finger, is the same.
From the top of the chest to the highest
point of the forehead, is a seventh. If
the face, from the roots of the chin, be
divided into three equal parts. the first
division determines the place where the
eyebrows meet, and the second the nos
trils. The height, from the feet to the
top of the head, is the distance from the
extremity of the fingers when the arms
are extended.

FrIghtral Col,,ery Accident.

News from London brings an account Of an
other terrible colliery explosion, in which, it is
feared, not less than one hundred and twenty
men have persisted. The explosion occurred at
Seaham Pit, in Durham County, on the North
Sea, and atthe time there were two hundred and
fifty men in the pit. Sixty-fve men, who were
working in the two upper seams of the coal,
have been found safe and well. OF the balance,
it will be fortunate if even one-third have
escaped with their lives. The account says:
''The Superintendent of the colliery and his as
sistants are putting forth every effort to VEN
tillate the pit sufficiently to allow a thorough
exploration to be made of the more remote
parts of the workings, where it is supposed the
majority Of the men we're when the explosion
took place."

an uninterested audience on the 7th inst. Dur
ing the ceremony of propagation of members of
the House of Commons about sixty were
present, including Premier Gladstone; Of MEM
bers of the House of Lords, besides the five
Royal Commissioners, only one Liberal and
two Conservative peers were present, together
with about thirty-fve ladies, none of whom
were peeresses. The north gallery of the House
of Lords was filled with spectators. The cere-
mony of propagation lasted seventeen minutes.
Parliament was prorogued until the oath Of
November.

storm ON the Atlantic Coast.

A recent dispatch from Long Branch says:
The northern storm is very severe. The
track of the New Jersey Southern Railroad be-
tween Highlands Station and seabright was
washed away, suspending all travel from New
York via Sandy Hook. For twelve hours The
coast has been swept by a northeast gale, blow
ing at the rate of sixty miles an hour. Old
turfmen say it is the ~severest September gale
that has visited the place since 1854. The
damage along the shore is great.

A horrible story of plundering the desdcomes
from the coast of Florida. 1t is now stated
that the main part of the wrecked steamer City
of Vera Cruz was beached on Anastasia Island
two days before it became generally known, and
that five pilots Of st. Augustine formed them
selves into a stock company and went for the
valuable freight with a vim. They spent two
days and nights in collecting valuable stuff and
hauling it away, riied trunks, dead bodies, etc.
Valuable jewelry, money-in large quantities it
is stated-and silks were carried away and Sc
