What RIM Will On.

Some years ago, in one of the coun-
ties Of New York, n worthy man was
tempted to drink until drunk. In the
delirium of drunkenness. he went home
and murdered his wife in the most bar
barous manner. He was carried to the
jail while drunk, and kept there through
the night. Awakening in the morning,
and looking around upon the walls,
and seeing the bars upon the windows,
he exclaimed:
as this jaiP"

nest inquiry.
"For MURDER" was the answer.
"Does my wife know itp'
"Your wife know itp" said some
one. why, it was your wife whom
you killed"
On this announcement he dropped
suddenly, as If he had been struck
dead. Let il be remembered that the
constable who carried him to the Jail,
sold him the liquor which caused his
drunkenness; the justice who issued
the warrant was one Of those who
signed his license; the sheriff who hung
him also sold liquor. and kept a ten
pin alley.

The late NJ. Littre, who was for many
wears one OF the opponents Of the pos
hive philosophy. was baptized as q
member Of the Roman Catholic church
a few moments before his death. A
wear ago M. Littre published q profess
sion Of his faith in which he said;
..Some pious souls have troubled them
selves about my Utmost feelings 1t
has seemed to them that, not being an
absolute contemner Of Christianity, and
heartily acknowledging that it pos
sessed grandeur aud conferred bless

that It might touch. 1t was Begin

. faith which had reigned for many
centuries over continents. and which
even now is the consolation OF some OF
the faithful. have questioned myself
in vain. 1t is impossible for me to ac-
cept the conception of the world which
Catholicism imposes upon its true be-
levers, but feel no regret at being
outside of these creeds, and can feel
within me no desire to enter within
their pale"

What She Called Him,

A well-known educationalist vouches
for the truth Of the following: A teach
er in lower grade in one Of our pub
lie schools received a new pupil the
other day-a little miss of six or seven
years, named, say Matte Brown. At
ter taking her name for the school rolls
according TO the custom, the teacher
said
"What is your papa's name, Mattel"
"Mr. Brown"
Yes, but what is his first name?"
"Don't know--his name is just Mr..
Brown"
YES, yes--I KNOW" then as Ia bright
idea struck her, "what does your NAM
ma call himp"
"Oh! know what you mean now"
the innocent child replied; "ma she
calls him darned old foolp'
at is safe to conclude that the teach

The Blessing of Regular Digestion

AHO DACccAh6 VI AeC6 uiui DlS CotiUH
Is best appreciated by those who, having
lost, have ultimately recovered it. To form
an adequate conception of the horrors of
dyspepsia, one must have experienced that
malady in its chronic form. A temporary
fit of indigestion, though doubtless trouble
some enough, can give no suitable idea
when it has taken continued possession of
the stomach. To anticipate and prevent the
chronic phase with Hostetter's Stomach Bit,
tiers IS the wise course. While that incom-
parable invigorant and corrective conQuers
the most obstinate types of dyspepsia, it is
always wise to use 1t early, and thus avoid
prolonging the process of cure, Flatulence,
heartburn, headache, biliousness, palpita-
lions, nervousness, loss of flesh and appetite
and other concomitants of dyspepsia, are
all remedied by this sterling medicine.
Use it before meals and on retiring.

ARREAKAGEs OF PENSIONS.

while the estimates Of the friends of the meas

on the pension appropriation bill it was stated
on the authority of Mr. Bentley, commissioner

year or two, and that the whole sum, TO squar,

these: Up 10 1874 the total number OF appll
Cants for pensions had reached 1874. From
that date, few new applications were made ant
the number receiving pensions began to fall
