death at Gijon, in northern Spain, of a
gentleman who was 1l2 years old. He

of five successive marriages during his
long life, and, indeed, welded bliss may
fairly be assumed to have agreed with
him. His last wedding day was also
the eighty-ninth anniversary of his birth,
upon which festive occasion he espoused
comely maiden of "sweet seventeen, :"
whose union with him resulted in the
addition of two sturdy boys to his al
ready numerous family of siN-andtwen-
ty sons, the fruits of his previous matri-
monial alliances. Once, at the early
age OF fifteen, he was i'll Of fever, since
which he has known no malady or even

past he has eaten but one solid meal, at
midday, in every twenty-four hours, his
breakfast and supper consisting OF gill

and taken without food.

Happy Homes.

Few homes l think are what, under
Gods blessing, they should be. 1t re-
quires but little effort to make home
cheerful and happy. There should be
a deep and abiding love between hus-
band and wife, parents and children,
and tender forbearance toward each
others faults. When these exist they can
not but be Edens of love; but, alas! how
often do we see it otherwise. The hus-
band who has taken a solemn VOW to
love and cherish, and the wife to love
and honor, are drifting slowly but sure
ly apart. They do not understand each
other, though in name they have been
one for years. They have different con-
ceptions of each others duties and can
not act in concert. Instead of having
quiet, loving talk, and trying to draw
near together, there are, perhaps, sharp
or cruel words and the breach widens.
Unhappiness follows and each lays the
burdens of faults on the others Shout
ders. 0, erring judges! do ye not know
that "He who knoweth the thoughts
and intents of every heart' will not
thus Judge? g First cast the beam out
of thine own eye and then shalt thou
see clearly to pull the mote out Of thy
brothers eye"
The heart of woman is fragile thing
and few men understand it. 1t lives
and fourishes in the sunlight of love,
but withers like the mimosa at the
touch of an angry frown or a cruel
word. 1t cannot even thrive in the at
mosphere of Indifference. How many
hearts are now struggling for existence
in this sitting atmosphere. Only few
kind words would admit the sunshine.

convenience, and your self-sacrifice will

prerogative to throw around her the

so deep and strong that no careless or

An Independent Barber.

Lord Augustus Lotus is now the ruler
of the Queens colonists in New South
Wales. Lord Lotus, whose name
would seem to harmonic with his tenn
per, sent for a barber the other day to
come to the Government House in the
and shave his lordship. The
barber came in cab and was detained
in the outer rooms until he sent word
that he could stay no longer. He was
then admitted and performed the ser
vice, for which he charged his lordship
more than dollar. He complained at
the price as outrageous and was an
swered that "a hanson cab had
been waiting outside for an hour" So
he was paid, but next day being sent
for said, 81 can't co. The messen-
ger could hardly believe his ears and
repeated his message, to which he got
the same answer. Horror-stricken he
carried back the insolent minion's reply.
One Of Lord LOTUS sons was sent to
the saucy varlet to cleave the rascal to
the chin; but he confined his cleaving
TO the chin, when the insolent knaye
told him II won't go.n The young man
said this was an insult to Her Majesty
and that he must take down the royal
arms from off his door. To which the
basin born barber replied that the Duke
of Edinburgh had given him permission
to put up the arms and that he would
see Lord Lotus in a lowlier, not to say
hotter, place than New South Wales
in January before he would either take
down his arms or go on his knees at the
bidding Of the whole British peerage.-

The Teeth and Disease.

A full set of teeth is necessary to
proper mastication. Digestion largely
depends upon mastication, as mastica-
ton mixes the food with saliva-itself a
digestive fuid-and thoroughly sepa-
rates the particles so that the other
digestive fiuids-the gastric juice, the
bile and the intestinal fiuid-may read
lily act on them. Decayed teeth fill the
in breathed air with putrid particles.
Bad teeth often cause boils, collections
of hardened wax in the ear, ringing OF
the ears (tinnitus aursun, and deaf
ness in various degrees. A large amount
of distress, both in the teeth and in the
ear, is frequently occasloned by the de-
cay of the first tooth of the permanent
set-the sixth grinder (molar.) So
strong is the sympathetic connection
between the teeth and the ears, that the
condition of the former greatly affects
the latter, especially in childhood, the
period of marked infammatory ten
dency in the various glands OF the
mouth. DR.. Samuel Sexton has made
the facts special study, with the aid OF
the oroscope-the new instrument for
the exploration of the ear. OF fifteen
hundred cases examined by him, he at
tributes one-third to the condition OF
the teeth. DR.. Sexton says further that
persons are injured in health by the
amalgam filings, the mercury which
enters largely into them being gradually
set free. Still more serious results fol-
low when plates especially vulcanite-
are worn over diseased fangs, infiamed
palates or gums, collections OF tartar,
and purulent secretions. In this coun.
try. where teeth begin to decay SO early,
children should be taught how to care
for them and the dentist should be &C.
casionally called in to inspect them. =

condition Of Armenia. the Under Secre-

promises from the Porte, because the Gov
ernment was acting in concert with other
powers, It was impossible for him now to
explain the details Of reform which they
were demanding, or steps they were
taking to press them upon the Porte. Sir
Wiltred Lawson, Radical, declared he
would oppose any warlike demonstration
against Turkey as earnestly as under the
late Government he had opposed the
demonstration against Russia.
Henry Labouchere, Liberal, protested
against meddling with matters that do not
concern US, either in Armenia or else.

Government was under any obligation to
say whether policy or coercion would be
adopted or not. The House must be con-
tent, he said, to rely on the general rule
that 1t is TO the interest OF the Government
TO make Parliament acquainted with its
policy. He inferred from the debate that
the Government would receive support

CHICAGO, July 24.-The grain markethas
been in somewhat nervous but neyerthe'
less in steady condition, the fuctation
in prices being very small the best prices
prevailing early in the week and the
poorest about the middle. Corn was ex-
ceptionally weak to-day and oats for
future delivery exceptionally strong. The
farmers seem determined to punish any
one who shall originate a corner, for i'm.
mediately upon the appearance Of a
premium OF one or two cents for present
delivery in corner oats they set about
crowding receipts into the bins in very
discouragin gway forthe would.be,manipu-
!ators. Premium fell off very decidedly
towards the close OF the week, on account
OF the heavy receipts OF corn, averaging
half a million bushels daily. The ship
ments have, however, exceeded the re.
ceipts in every kind OF grain, and the bins
are halfa million bushels nearer empty
than they were at this time last year.
The provision deal is cornered so strong
" that prices OF hogs are running up at a
furious rate, and are highern0w than they
have been for several years. Under these
circumstances it would be reasonable to
look for tremendous receipts. On the con.
trary, however, receipts have fallen oil so
rapidly that every consignment is snapped
up Immediately 1t reaches the yards,
aud the question is being asked: elias not
the heavy drain upon the country on ac-
count OF high priced hogs had the effect

Maud s. AT that gentleman's death tht
filly became the property OF his son, Mr.
II. NJ. Bugher She was put in training
but did not appear to satisfy her owner
for he soon offered her for sale at Chester
Park, keeping the mare Mary Belmont,
that was distanced In 35.class at the last
meeting here, as q more promising trotter.
Captain Stone bought her and put her in
the bands of W. W. Bair, for training.
She soon began to show good action and
speed, and the Captain christened her
Maud s., after his little daughter.
In September, 1873, she was given a
trial at Chester Park, and made the mile
in 2:c3l, and during October OF the same
year she gave an exhibition trot at Lex.
ington, ky., In which she made the re.
markable time OF 2:l79.
The fame OF her remarkable perform
ance was soon known far and wide, and
brought to Captain Stone an offer OF $2l,-
900 for her from Mr.. Wm. II. Vanderbilt,
Of New York, which was accepted.
Her first race was at the last meeting at
Chester, Park, In the . 234.class, when she
made splendid showing, scoring like an
old racer, and trotting right away from the
field OF good horses at what appeared to
be an exercising gait.
The mare is entered in the 2.19 class at
with Driver, Charley Ford,
HARMS, Bonesetter and Ettie Jones.
Although Kentucky bred, Maud was
raised and trained here, and the great
Queen OF the Turf can be justly called
Cincinnati girl.
