NOT THATKIND OF A NAN,
indianapolis News.

A story on Senator Mcdonald has
just reached here which will be
appreciated by those who know him.
TO those who are unacquaiDted with
the man, it may be said that he is one
OF the most generous persons that
ever lived. Every mcndicant who
applies to him is relieved, if it is in
his power, even il he has to borrow
the money to do it. His faith in
human nature has never been destroy
cd or weakened by the numerous
imposltions practiced upon him, and
any appeal for aid is listened to and
granted without an investigation.
On his way to the White House the
other day one Of the numerous crowd
of beggars that always infest heroad,
little boy this time it Glanced to
be, was persistent in his demands for
for small sum. The kind hearted
Senator felt first in one pocket and
then in another; not coin could no
find and his pockett look was empty.
Really distressed because of his
inability to help the suppliant, Mr..
Mcdonald said: any boy. wish ]
could do something for You, but I
haven't got cent" The little fellow
was incredulous probably he had
been put off with the same answer by
others, and as the senator moved
away he was astonished to hear him
say: ~ know what's the matter with
you; you're damn old miser."

worthless property and at last, getting
q little excited, he told them that
before he got through with that mine
they would rec that he was not such q
fool as they took him for. Then he
wrote to some rich acquaintance that
he had a splendid clam, which, being
bard up, he would sell cheap for 81, 900.
That he bought $500 worth Of gold

came, prospected a little, bought it

The vigilantes remained under

bodies were lowered and delivered
to the custody Of their friends. Then
the battalion again paraded aud was
dismissed, the men dispensing to their

LADIES ABOUT TO MARRY.

In marrying, make your own match
do not marry any man to get rid OF
him. The man who would go to'des-
truction without you will as likely go
with you, and perhaps drag you
along. DO not marry in haste, lest
you repent at leisure; do not marry
for q home and a living, when by
taking care Of your health you can
be strong enough to earn your own
living. DO not let aunts, fathers or
mothers sell yon for money or a posi-
ton into bondage, tears and lifelong
misery, which you alone must endure.
Do not place yourself habitually in
the society Of any sutton until you
have decided the question of mar
riage, human wills are weak, and
people often become bewildered, and
do not know their error until it is too
late. Get away from their Influence,
settle your head, and make up your
mind alone. A promise may be made
in Il moment of sympathy, or even
half delirous ccstacy, which must be
redeemed through years of sorrow,
toll and pain.
