The Original Owl MAN.

The Reading News of yesterday hiss
the following: A few years ago, it will
be remembered, L. NJ. Gallagher, editor
Of the Owl, was prosecuted for libel, BY
parties living at Harrisburg. He gave
bail for bis trial in the Dauphin county
court, but when the case was called he
failed to put in his appearance, and
his bondSmen were put to considerable
expense. The cases were never finally
disposed of and on Saturday Constable
Eichhol,z armed with process went to
Mt. Joy and arrested Gallagher. The
constable was invited to dinner; and
partook Of that meal with the father Of
defendant. After dinner the young
man left the room, as though TO get his
hat. After waiting a reasonable time
the officer went up stairs after him and
then discovered that Gallagher had
given him the slip.

The Feast Of P0fim.

Purim is q Jewish feast which falls
on the l4th and 18th OF March (Adar)
1t commentaries the dellversnce rsls-
ted In the book Of Esther, and has e.
ways been religiously observed bv the
Hebrew race. TIE story in the book
named ia in substance that Haman A
vindictive minister Of the King. in.
censed by the independent spirit of
Mordeca; the Jew, resolved upon the
destruction of all the Jews in the
Kings dominions, but was prevented
from carrying out his purpose by Queen
Esther, who, inspired by Mordecai,
saved her nation at the risk Of her
life. To commemorate the almost
miraculous salvation Of their people
and the destruction of their enemies,
Mordecai and Esther introd uosd the fast
Of the 18th Of AdAr, the day Of danger,
and the festival of Purim or lots, as
mentioned above, is celebrated by the
Hebrews Of the 14th and 18th Of the
same month as days Of entertainment
and joy, and for sending presents te
each other and aims to the poor. There
we're no special observsnces OF the day

Coughs Lack of Business Tact,

From the Burln gtOn Qowa) Hawk-Eye.
After all his lifelong work upon
the platform, and with the high fees
his fame and abilities Justly command,
john B. Cough is not rich man. His
private charities are as large and
numerous as they are unostentatious,
for this great t-hearted man does not
let his left hand know what his right
hand does. He has met with frequent
and heavy losses on account of the
tender hearted willingness with which
he puts his valuable autograph on the
back Of a friends album for 80 days
and the almost infsllibDe certainty
with which he is compelled to get it
back again for himself when the three
short months bsve h,wn. Mr.. Cough
ought to be worth half million dol.
lars, but, like most men whose hearts
are wrapped up in, and whose lives
are consecrated to, some great work of
reform, he is not good business man,
and impecunious friends ald suffering
humanity have got most ofthe money
the great apostle Of temperance has
earned by hard platform work.
