more sense than their husbands, especi-

The wife's advices are like the ballast

like the wholesome, though painful,

conceit and folly.

Among the many applications Of
insurance in this country, it is remarka.
BILE that that of a well-known association
of the higher classes in Denmark has
never been attempted. A system of in
surance for girls has existed for several
generations among the nobility of Co
penhagen. A nobleman upon the birth
of daughter, enrolls her name with
the insurance society, paying at the time
fee, and subsequently an annual sum
until she reaches the age of twenty-one.
She then becomes entitled to a fixed in
come from the society, and to apart
ments in the large building of the asso-
citation, which is surrounded by gardens
and a park. Should her father die in
her childhood, she may Immediately oc-
cupy the apartments if she so desires
Should she die or marry, the income
and the right to a home both lapse.

AbOlishing the Horse.

Just think of it! Scientists say that
in a few wears there will be no need of
horses; that inventions have been per-
fected which will give us artificial loco
motion, and we can do without the aid
of quadruped5. 1t is not the bicycle,
although that is coming more and more
into popular favor. Already we hear
of the improved bicycles being used in
travelling all over the country; but the
new machines are run by 4 kind of air.
pump and have already been tried in
England. Their inventor is Colonel
Beaumont, member of Parliament,
and he has succeeded in hauling twelve
tons twenty miles with only one charge
of a.r. The machine is noiseless, and
looks like large tank on wheels, with
handles on top, where the driver is
placed. This engine, it is thought, is
capable of immense development, and
may not only replace horses, but dis
pense, in n measure. with railways.
just think of it! A machine that will
do the work of n horse twenty times re-
peated and which will never run away!
What new marvel is in store for us?-

A YOUNG woman who died at Wash

with services performed jointly by a
Catholic priest and Lutheran clergy
man, as she had requested. Her father
is Catholic and her mother a Lutheran,
but she belonged to neither church.
This is believed to be the first instance
in Pennsylvania of a Catholic priest and
a Ii theran clergyman conducting serv.

Our State having secured the highest honor
of the late conyention-the nominee for Pres
ident-we must begin the work of electing
the native to the presidency. Lest this prove
too much for those engaged in it, the follow

"A horse at Earihault. N

"A horse at Faribault, Mimi, turned
loose in his masters dooryard, saw a
basket hanging on a clothes pole about
seven feet from the ground. 1t con-
tanned a pet cat belonging to the place.
The horse walked over to the basket,
put his nose up to investigate, and the
cat put out her paw and gave the intrud-
ing nose a lively scratch. The horse
turned around, looked back over his
shoulder as though to take aim and
measure the distance, kicked, and cat,
basket and all shot into the air like a
rocket. The horse watched the success
of his shot, then gave a low whinny of
delight, and walked away to feed.

Young ladies who adopt the mascu.
ine-looking Derby hat and ulster, close
skirts, and initiate as closely as possible
their brothers garb, should take warn
ing by recent occurrence in a New
York church. A couple came in,
dressed alike in coats and hats, and on
being shown to a pew one of them i'm
mediately DOTTED his hat. The usher
waited reasonable time for the other
to show the same token of respect, and
at last, out of patience, reached over
and knocked off the offending headgear,
when to his horror he found he had un-
covered the head of a young lady, who,
wearing short, curly hair, only the more
heightened her resemblance to one of
the masculine gender.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Gar of all the Russias recently
journeyed from st. Petersburg to
Lividia. The railroad over which he
travelled was guarded night and day by
5000 peasants and 40, 600 soldiers. r.
b. Hayes, President of the United
States, though a majority OF the people
question his title to the office, travels
over thousands of miles of railroad,
and there is not soldier nor peasant
required to watch the road or to guard
his person. The Autocrat of the Rus
SLAMS claims that he rules by Divine
right, while the President of the United
States can hardly claim that he governs
by the will of the majority. This shows
that after all the efforts of Returning
Boards and. Electoral Commissions to
subyert tie will of the people there is
yet vast difference between our glori-
GUS Republic and despotic Russia. Let
us see to it that those who are endeav-
oring to model our institutions alter
the Russian pattern by centralizing
power in the hands of a few, are not
permitted to change our form of Gov
ernment.

that those who have so much to say in
condemnation of any abridgement of

educational or property qualifications
have no fault to find with Republican

of the United States are deaied the
right Of suffrage, because they were not
