Ignorance Regarding Ventilation.

A gentleman while attending church
one evening found that his feet were icy
cold, so that he had to raise them from
off the floor. Calling the attention of
the sexton to the fact, the latter said,
with some perplexity:
ayes, we have good many COM
plants of cold feet from others; but l
don't understand the reason why we
can't keep the church warm; we surely
have fires enough
So saying, he pointed to register in
the floor directly behind the gentleman,
in the adjoining pew. Looking around,
the latter could see that there was Il
hot fire in the furnace beneath, and yet
no heat came up. When handker-
scarcely stirred. The visitor asked the
sexton,
Have you any means of ventila-
tionP'
"NO, SIR"
care there no windows open?"
None whatever"
"How, then, can you expect the air
to come in here if it can't get out some
WHEREOF
There was no Responsible man was
nonplussed. "Did you ever try to
blow into bottle?" continued the in
quirer.
ono, sir.''
&c Do you think, if you did, that you
could force any more air into a bottle
by blowing than was in it before?'
He couldn't say. Never mad thought of
it.
"Well," continued the gentleman,
g You would soon find, ifyou tried, that
it was impossible, and neither can you
force air into this church through a reg
lister if you don't open a window or some
other orifice.''
"But," the sexton demurred, "open-
irg window would let in the cold air,
wouldn'titp
You just try it, was the response.
"Raise some of the windows on the lee
ward side of the church, and see what
will happen"
1t was done, and instantly the hand
kerchief lying on the register rose half
way to the ceiling with the force of the
ascending current. The sexton stood
and stared in astonishment.-,Sani

for the murder of Mary stannard, failed to

lasted ~ days.
Arthur Jordan, n negro, eloped with
and married the weak minded daughter of
Il respectable white farmer of Fauquier
County, Va. He was arrested upon a charge
of miscegenation and locked up. On the
night OF the 18th he was taken from the Jail
by mob and hanged to Il tree. Jordan al

The heaviest snow storm of the sea-
son prevailed throughout Wisconsin on the
21st and 22d. In the northern portion of the
State the SNOW is from 20 to 40 inches deep,
and lumbermen are jubilant over the pros
poets.
4 large business building at Cherry
vale, Kans., occupied on the first floor by a
furniture store and the upper floors by the
GIObe printing office and sleeping apart
ments, burned on the night of the 21st. Six
men We're sleeping in the building, three of
whom escaped by jumping to the ground.
Ed. S. Henderson, foreman of the Globe
office, and VIM. McClain, printer, were
burned to death; and c. C. Kinlock, a rail-
road man, was badly burned, although not
fatally.
Dan. Searles, colored, was hanged at
Oswego, n. V, on the 2lst, for the murder
of Eldridge G. Rewey, an aged farmer, in
June last. The culprit made speech upon
the galows, eonfessing the crime, which he
laid to strong drink.
Severe earthquake shocks occurred
in the island of Cuba on the night of the 22d
and morning of the sd, causing great eX
citement and terror among the inhabitants,
as they were the first ever experienced on
the island. There was no damage done at
Havana, although it is reported that build
ings were injured at San Cristobal. Several
shocks have occurred recently in South and
Central America.
Charles II. Hardin was hanged at
Pennington, St.. Francois County, Mo,
on the 23d, for the murder
of Robert Ferguson in October

from Cherokee County, kans., to Columbia,
Tenn, and the murder was committed for

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

The House Committee on Military At
fairs have agreed upon a report in the Fitz
John Porter case. The majority report, signed
by all the Democrats Of the Committee, will
recommend that Porter's disquaifications
be removed, that he be restored to his
former rank and privileges, and that the
sum of $4,000 be awarded him in lieu
OF back pay. The minority report,
signed by the Republicans Of the Commit
tee, agrees in recommending that Porter he
restored TO his former rank, but without
any compensation for back pay, and also
disagrees with the assertion of the majority
that injustice was done him through the
erroneous finding of the Court martial by
which he was tried.
THE Republican Executive Commit
tee Of Bergen County, y. j., have adopted q
resolution requesting Hon. &. II. Voorhis,

WIT AND WISDOM.

The reason why man steals an unl
brella, says the New Orleans Picayune,
is because he does not like to go out in
the rain and borrow one.
FULL many a rose is born to blush I'M
seen, and waste its fragrance on the des-
ert air; full many Il nip is ta'en behind
the screen, and cloves, and coffee, too,
are eaten there.
A BALD-HEADED professor, reproving
youth for the exercise of his fists, said:
I" We fight with our heads at this COL
lege." The youth reflected for mo
ment, and then replied: "Ah, l see,
and you have butted all your hair off,
WHY is it that when you meet man
ker chuck - on the sidewalk, he
always turns to his right while you
turn to your left, and, not satisfied with
that, he Immediately turns to his left,
and you are just fool enough to turn to
your rightP
"a PRETTY style of hair-dressing for
the morning." says fashionable jour-
nal, is to wave all the hair.'' We agree
with the above. In the morning it is not
only a pretty but Il useful fashion for
women to snatch all their hair off the
back of the chair, where it has reposed
during the night, and wave it around
the room to chase off the fies.-Phila
delptia Chronicle.
"BEN's troubles began from the time
he moved into the big house. He was
living in modest way before, but then
he began to branch out" This is what
neighbor of Mr.. Bogart said TO re-
porter of the New York Sun. Mr.. b.
CART had just then committed suicide,
and it was known that he was a default
er for large amount. Branching
out' is very significant expression.
The cause of many a social ruin is
Is branching OUT When the big house
is taken every thing must be on scale
as big as the house. Young men be-
ware of the first branch out. This is
the branch road that leads to State-pris-
on or death.
YOUNG Hoopendike is rather given to
loquacity; also to tall language. So
the other night, while he was at the
New Years ball at East Fairfield, he es-
sayed to make himself very agreeable to
a beautiful young lady to whom he was
introduced: 60 How sweet it is" he be-
gan, "when the glamor of the daz-
zling illumination pervades the atmos-
phere of the spacious apartment, to
commingle in the gyratians of the terp-
sichorean festivities, and float as it were
on ethereal pinions to the realms of en-
chantment. The young lady looked
him square in the eye, and replied:
"Oh, go freeze your teeth and give
your tongue Il sleigh-ride." Young
Hoopendike was too much shocked and
hurt to answer.-St. Adams advertiser.
