L. J. Jennings (N. Y. Worlo0, says :,
The American cousin is asked to thea
ters, concerts and picture shows and,
if he comes with judicious recommends
tons, he may add to these amusements
any number of evening parties-like a
friend of mine, in London. who "goes
out" about seven times every night, and
has to eat several breakfasts and lunch
cons before he begins the regular
days work. When once stranger has
been well introduced and "taken up"
in London the world is all before him
where TO choose-nOble lords crowd his
room, and noble ladies invite him to
dinner, or to their most exclusive Of
parties. In this respect the American
is always the most favored of mortals,
for there is no prejudice against him on
the score of nationality, as there is
against the German or Frenchman, and
everybody feels at perfect liberty to ask
him anywhere. 1t requires little time
and good sponsor to get a man into the
proper set, and still more time to get a
woman there. Yet / have seen it done
with great success, and in some cases to
the amazement of all Americans, espe-
cially where women were concerned.

Farm life.

These drizzing, rainy days are not the most
enjoyable seasons on large farm. Neigh
bors are too distant TO be very social. and
the mud is so deep that we cannot get about
much and the winds are enough to scare one
to death.
We have not always lived on a farm and hope
the time will come when we will not have 10 live
so far from the conveniences and comforts of
city life To be sure in some respects, the
farmers life is very independent. If we till the
soil, and SOW the seed, we are sure of plenty 10
eat, and good fresh butter, rich cream. and
fresh eggs are luxury.
Spring chickens are pretty good eating, but.
Oh, dear, there il lots Of hard work for the
women folks and there is very little sght-see-
ing the vivid extent of prairie becomes monot-
onous We wish we could put our Eastern hills
on rollers, and drop them here and there, and
that we could only, by some magic power, re-
move some of the beautiful forests, and place
them just where we would like to have them

Why Ladies Can't Sharpen Lead Pen
oils

A lady contributor to the Californian
thinks she knows why women cannot
sharpen lead pencil: "In the first
place she does not attack it boldly
enough she is afraid of soiling her fin
gers. Then she never has sharp knife. -
Let her borrow, say you. The Califor-
mia lady has tried that with this result
" If Adam, the husband, or Adonis, the
brother, or even Johnny, the son, lends
knife for the purpose, he first opens
the dullest, brokenest blade, and then
sneers at the result If Eve has IA knife
of her own, no one will sharpen it for
her." and it goes without saying that
she cannot sharpen it herself. q have, +"
continues the lady, "seen woman
sharpen pencil with a carving-knife,
but that was an extreme case"

A Strange Story.

GALVESTON, June IA News special
from Dallas says desperate attempt at
robbery occurred near Clear Lake, Collins
county. A. farmer named Bradley left
5000 received for cattle with his wife for
safe-keeping. A stranger asking to stay
all night, was given pallet on the gal
lery. AT midnight he saw two men, who
he supposed belonging to the family, enter,
and hearing cries of murder, he peeped
through the blinds, aud saw woman on
the bed with her throat cut. Snatching q
six-shooter, tho stranger sprang toward
, the door and fred, killing both parties.
Mounting horse, he rode to the nearest
neighborhood, and, accompanied by a
party of four, returned. Mrs. Bradley
and both robbers were dead, one of whom
was shot through the heart and the other
through the head. The robbers proved to
be Mrs. Pruett and her daughter, the
former sixty years old and the owner of
considerable property, and having an indie
pendent inheritance of $1,000.

A Sermon Heard Eighty Miles.

On Sunday week the church of Rev.
Thos Il. Deooher Elmlra, was connected
with the Gazette and Bulletin Office OF
Wiliamsport by telephone, and portion
bf the sermon geographically reported
for tho paper The wires of tho American
Union Telegraph Company, under the
management of Division Operators il, X.
Rhoads, Of Williamsport, and I'm.
Easterbrook, Of Elmira, were used, and
the prayer, announcement OF the hymn
and text were distinctly heard. Nearly
every word of the speaker could DO heard
in Williamsport during the course OF an
ordinary sermon, aud tho music OF the Or
gan could be heard as plainly as If it had
been only fifteen feet away. The church
bells In Elmira were ALEC heard In VIII
Transport ringing clear aud distinct.
The orly drawback to the hearing nearly
every word uttered by Mr.. Beeoher was
when cars and engines were passing over
the track of tho Erie railroad In Elmra
and on the Northern Central. This had
the effect of drowning the sound. Other
wise the experiment was success, and
demonstrated that the telephone can be
used for hearing sermons hundred miles
away. The distance between Williams
port and Elmira Is seventy-eight miles.

Fire In the OIL Region.

BRADFoRD, Pa, May 3l.-At 8 o'clock
this evening an oil derrick located in the
heart Of the city was discovered to DO on
fire. In flash the entire rig was abaze
and communicated to a tank near by con-
tanning ono hundred and twenty-five bar
rolls. The fire running to tho top of the
derrick, seventy.two feet aud burning the
tank oil, lighted up the city, creating the
widest excitement among the residents.
The enthe fire organization was called out.
People in the vicinity removed their goods,
expecting tho entire square to go. The
wind was still. The hremen worked rs
they never did before, and at $3.50 had the
flames completely under control. The rig,
tank of oil and wareroom of Wright's
grocery store were totally consumed and
two barns partially. The fire was the
work OF an incendiary, being tho third at
tempt made within two weeks. Several
days ago the Mayor offered n reward of
$500 for the arrest of the party. The
citizens of Bradford were thoroughly
frightened, and the peril was certainly
very great.
