A Kiss and Its Result.

Our reader shall have the ben;zit of a
good story that we once heard. Travel
ing into town about dusk, Parson X. had
occasion to call at the mansion Of an es-
teemed parishoncr, who had, among 9TH
er worldly possessions, two or three very
fine daughters. He had scarce knocked
at the door when it was opened by one
OF these blooming ma1t'ens, who as quick
as thought threw her arms around his
neck, and before he had time to say, 90,
DON'T" pressed her warm delecate lips to
his, and gave him as sweet kiss az ever
heart of swain deserved. In utter sston-
ishment, the worthy divine was endeavor-
Ing to stammer out something, when the
damsel exclaimed, 80, mercy, mercy |
Mr. K, is this you? I thought as much
as could be that it was my brother
Henr{.'
"Pshaw!" thought; the parson to him.
self, "you didn't think IN y such thing."
But taking her hand, he said, IN a forgiv-
ing tone, "Thcre is no hahn done. Don't
give yourself any uneasiness; though you
ought to be little more ca1eful''
After this gentle rcproof. he was ush-
cred into the parlor by the maiden, who,
as she came to the light, could not con-
ceal the deep blush that glowcd upon her
cheek, while the bouquet that was pinned
to her bosom shook like a flower garden
in an earthquake. And when he rose to
depart, it somehow fell to her lot to wait
upon him at the door. and it may be add
cd, that in the entry they held discourse
together for some minutes, on what sub
Get 1t is not for us to say.
As the warm hearted pastor plodded
homewards, he argued with himself IN
this wise:
"Miss J. knew it was nc who knocked
at the door, or how did she recognize me
before / spoke? AND it is probable that
her brother would knock before entering.
She must be desperately in-pshaw !
Why, if she loves her brother at t1at rate
how must she love her husband? BY the
great squash, never felt such kiss in
my life"
Three weeks after the above incident,
Parson X. was married to Miss J.-;Vin-
er's Journal.

A LAWYERS Note.

A wag of lawyer was sitting in his
Office the other day deeply engaged in
unraveling some knotty question, when
a gentleman entered and inquired, "Is
this Mr.. e. The student of Blackstone
raising his eyes from the legal book be-.
fore him replied: "1t you Owe me any
thing, or have any business in my lire,
then z. is my name; if you have claim
to present, am not the man. If you
simply called for u social chat, you can
call me by any name." I propose to
present you with some business in your
line. I have note of twenty five dol
lars 1 want you to collect,' and handing
the lawyer note, departed to call the
next day. As soon as he was gone, the
lawyer ascertalned that it was one of his
own promises to pay. The next day his
client appeared, and inquired, ''Well,
what success2'' "All right; I have col
lectad the money. Here it is, less my
fees,'' handing him fifteen dollars.
"Good!" !" said the client. II have made
two dollars and half by this operation

Thirty Hours IN the U'afer.
iLOndon Standard.

Miss Beckwith on Saturday night, at 10
O'Clock, in the presence of numerous COM
pany of spectators, successfully Terminated

whale tank of the royal aquarium at
Westminster. BY SO doing che has
ecl'psed all previous achievements
in the water, and proved her.
self to possess powers of en-
durance which, despite what has been &C.
complished by Capt. Webb, wonld still be
considered remarkable in man, and most
remarkable, indeed, in tho case of a slight
graceful girl, not yet out of her teens. Ac-
cording to the conditions of her self-imposed
task Miss Beckwith was al
lowed to leave the water for half
an hour in the thirty hours if
she 30 required, but from the time she dived
into the tank, at o'clock on Friday after
noon, up to the time che left her place of
Immersion, at 10 O'Clock on Saturday night,
she never claimed that indulgence. Unlike
Capt. Webb, who, during the progress of
his sixty hours swim at the Aqu-
rum, adopted generally slow stroke.
and frequently foated in a recumbent posi-
ton, Miss Beokwith used quicker methed of
progression, and varied the monotony Of her
proceedings by several displays Of clever
evolutions. It was as refreshing as it was
| interesting to witness this graceful young
| "Naiad" clad In her costume du balm of blaok
silk, trimmed with crimson, disportine her
self in her aqueous abode; when swimming
striking swiftly round the tank, at some
times waltzing on the water, and at others
propelliag herself, feet first, on its surface.
During the whole time she stayed there she
enjoyed excellent health and spirits,
Tho artificial sea-water was kept gen.
orally at . temperature OF eighty degrees,
its depth being six feet. Her diet was of
the lghtest kind, consisting principally OF
minced steak, flieted soles, jellies, beef tea,
eggs and coffee. When she left the water,
1t 10 o'clock, having been immersed fol
thirty consecutive hours, she was enthsias.
tically oheered, being then as fresh and well
as when she entered the day before.

House bill granting pensions to certain SOL
diers and sailors OF the Mexican war, in In.
dian wars with the Creeks and seminoles

the widow, children or heir of any deceased
person who in any manner voluntarily engaged
in, aided or abetted the late rebellion against
thc authorities of the United States.

Dreuth in Kansas

Gov. st. John returned recently from a
weeks trip through Grove, Wallace. Trego
and Ellis counties, Kansas, on the Union Pacl-
fic railroad, where he went to investigate the
extent Of the drought and the probable amount
OF suffering incident thereto. He found the
country very dry and many of the people in q
state OF destltution. The wheat crop is an en-
tire failure. and the earth is without drop of
moisture in it, no rain having fallen since the
11th OF last November. About 100000 pounds
Of bread and wheat have been shipped to the
sufferers within the last few weeks, purchased
with money subscribed by jay Gould, who is
anxious to protect the settlers along the line
OF his road. The railroad company is furnish
ing employment to many of the farmers, and
doing much to alleviate the distress.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST GEN. HATCH 49,
San Francisco, May 3l.-Tucson dispatch:
y. r. Smith, superintendent N. II. l. L. Go. IL
here from Silver City. He states that the
whole country surrounding Silver City il in q
state of terror and decentralization. Victoria
and his band of not less than $50 warriors.
made up of Apachee, Mescalaro1, Comanches
and Navajos, are spreading death and destruc-
tion before them. Troops under Gen. Hatch
appear to be powerless. A volunteer company
of fifty men are equipped, mounted and "a
toned by the citizens of Silver City to aid
the military. This company, undes, Capt. E.
N. Price, reported to Hatch 1T the Mspillan
mountains some days ago, Offering their aid.
In response to this offer, they were informed
by Gen. Hatch that the citizens had better at
tend to their own business and that he would
take care OF the Indians. At that time, San
Francisco valley was being made desolate by
the Indians, settlers fleeing for their lives and
not less than twenty-five people killed.
1t is also we'll known that when
prominent officer of an Ari-
zona command sent word to Gen. Hatch
that by certain movement he (Hatch) could
corral Victoria in Box canon, Hatch refused to
cooperate and Victoria escaped. The people
of southwestern New Mexico are very bitter
against Hatch. Upwards Of 220 citizens have
been killed in New Mexico by this band of In.
dians during Hatch's campaign of the last
three or four months. They also claim that he
has been defeated in every engagements with
the Indians, and has sent reports to military
headquarters most outrageously falsifying the
situation of affairs in his department..

Who Owns the Land in England

Who Owns the Land in England.
More than half the soil of the United
Kingdom is nominally owned by some
1000 persons. According to a valuable
analysis of the very ill-arranged and in
complete parliamentary return Of the land
owners Of the United Kingdom. published
in the Financial Reform Record for 1878,
421 persons are the owners Of 22,880,755
acres, or nearly 5000, 900 acres more than
one-fourth of the total area of the United
Kingdom. The mind is unable to grasp
what such a monopoly costs the country,
butcertain features of it stand forth with
a prominence sufficiently notable. In a
most absolute sense, the wcll-being of the
entire population Of some 81, ,O00, 900 souls
is placed in the power of few thousands.
For these thousands tho multitude tolls,
and it may be on occasion, starves. Hence
we have continually before us that most
saddening of all spectacles, two OF three
families living in great splendor, and
hard by their gates the miserably poor.
the abject slaves Of the soil, whose sole
hope in life is too often the worl<house-
that famous device against revolution,
paid tor by the middle classes-and the
pauper's grave. Our land owners bave
not merely burdened the land with their
game preserves; they have tied it up, and
actively conspired to prevent its due cul-
tivation. Instead of rising to the true
necessities of the case, they cling to their
game, make penal enactmcnts about it,
and struggle to augment the intensity Of
the evil, which it is to the people, as if
the very existence of the country depend
on hares and rabbits. In his absolute
supremacy the landowner overrides all
justice, takes precedence of all ordinary
creditors on his helpless tenants estates,
aud controls the system of cultivation, of:
ten in utter disregard of private rights
or private judgement, and, in addition,
secures to himself the absolute revesion
Of every improvement which the tenant
may make on the land.-MacAlgtan'.
