sting, but as a male and female was
wear the same kind of polonaise, an
look as much alike as twins, the onl
way to distinguish their sex is to cate
one. III stings, it is a female; if moi
it is a gentleman wasp.
It is a little curious, but we have nc
lticed that jurymen frequently absen
themselves from the court room Will
court is in session, SO that their name
are called in vain, but when the time 70
their payment arrives they are on han'
to a man and on the instant.

w. E. Thompson, of Lanier township,
applied before Judge Harris on Monday
morning last, for an application of adj
mission to the Dayton Asylum, of his
son, whose mind had become impaired
from a eve attack of typhoid fever.
He is about "a years of age. Owing to
the feeble condition of the young nan
the Judge did not feel like granting the
application without first stating the facts
of the case to the Superintendent of the
Institution and waiting his decision.
The Philadelphia TIMES has been
humping at the cigarette smokers in an
unmerciful manner, and holds them re-
sponsible, among other things, for col
lisions at sea in the following manner:
at has now been discovered that COLI
sions at sea are caused by color-blind-
ness. The man at the wheel cannot tell
the difference between the red and green
lights. 1t has also been shown that
smoking cigarettes causes color-blind-
Cigarette is the cause of
at sea-" Though this reason
ing may not be sound in It's conclusions,
the fact remains that cigarette smoking
is a most dangerous thing to the health,
growth, ability and vitality Of young
man. Parents could do no better than
forbid the children smoking CT
garettes.
Two simultaneous dispatches have been
received by Prof. Swift, of the Warner
at Rochester, N. Y, by
which it appears that another great comet
has been discovered. Prof. Sharpless of
Haverford College, Pennsylvania, states
1t. Edwards saw it with the naked
eye OF the morning of June sd, and Mr..
Edward L. Larkin, of New Windsor, Ill,
also reports seeing it and that it is vast.
It seems probable that the tail is not less
than 10 degrees in length while the head
is as bright as Jupiter. The new comet
is located in the constellation of Auriga |
about 8 degrees from Capella, and it is
not improbable that it1may be the much
expected comet of 1872 which should APP
pear not far from that locality. AS the
two dispatches were received in Roches- |
ter simultaneously, there is some ques-
ton as to whether the honor of discoy-
cry, and the Warner prize of 5000, be-
long to Mr.. Edwards or Mr.. Larkin.
Young girls who are in the habit of
with whomever they meet should
read the following which we find in an
exchange: ''The hinges of hell are greas-
ed by Irritation. Hell's half way house,
the house of prostitution, opens wide its
doors at the sight of a waving pocket
handkerchief or the drop of a glove. Can
there be- such a thing as an innocent firt-
alton? Is not a Irritation itself essenti-
ally waRton and prone to evil? Where
isthe young wamarfsw who can indiscrimi-
nately pick up a beau on the public high
way without degrading herself and pro-
claiming a reckless disregard for rules of
society, which is the first step to ruin?
Chastity is the jewel of a woman's char
acter which is essential to all other fe-
male virtuesS and she can only retain it
by chastity of action and thought. The
moment that she advertises to the pub
lie that her acquaintance is public prop
erty she becomes a practical free lover.
The least diversion from the strict part
of propriety and decorum is dangerous.
People do not generally 60 to- crime by
leaps, they go gradually and by imper-
eeptible and, TO them, harmless diver
gencies. Young ladies should remember
that no worthy young man will nco
age afirtation and even the foolish young
woman who recklessly throws herself
away"
