A LOVERS REVENGE.

When James Lick, the California
millionaire, was a young man he
fell in love with a millers daughter
in Pennsylvania. Young Lick faced
the stern old miller and asked for
the hand of his daughter. Now
James was a poor young man, but
honest, Industrious, and withal full
of pride. The man refused James
request, and advised him not to mar
~ until he had a competency to sup
port a wife. These remarks were
rather humiliating to young Lick's
pride, and with emphasis he replied:
"Slr, / shall see the day when your
boosted mill would not make a re-
spectacle wheat bin for the one [
shall own Years passed, when
James Lick erected in Santa Clara
county, Cal, a mill, the woodwork
of which is solid mahogany. Shortly
after its erection he had photographs
taken Of the inside and outside of
the mill, and sent them to the mil
Ter who had refused him the hand
of his daughter.

THIRTEEN MILLIONS BARRELS Of
BEER.

The consumption of malt liquor n
this country has increased over one
hundred per cent. in ten years.
During $780, says the Retailer, the
organ OF the brewers, taxes were
paid on 13,374,OO0 barrels, or IA
100000 gallons. This is equiv. lent
to $50 mugs for every man, woman
and child in this country. Leaving
out the females and children, this vast
Quantity represents 6~O0-glasses a year
for each male over twen,y-one years
old in the United States. When we
consider the very large number of
adult males who drink no beer at all.
and the other host who partake of it
only In this moderate manner, and at
more or less protracted intervals, it is
evident that some other Americans
must drink a great deal. At five
cents a glass this beer manufacture
of 1880 brought S375'OOO0, 900, or
about 81 80 per capita for every man
woman and child. This il a quarter
more than the total expense of run
ming the Un;ted States Government.

Thc following excellent sugges-
ton is made of Gov. Jarvis, ofNorth
CIrolina: "No court requiring a jul
~ or witnesses, either civil, c1imi-
ma, inferior or superior, should be
held in the month of June. Our
people are eminently an agricultural
people, and to take a large number
of laborers out Of the fields for a

counties in the busy month of June,
is a serious injury to the farmers of
that county"

The horse that frets is the one that
ssweats,' is an old saying of horsemen;
it is just as true of men as of horses.
The man that allows himself to-eet
ir-itated at every little thing that goes
an IN bu iaess, or in ordinary
affairs of life. is a man that, as a rule,
will accomplish little and wear out
early. He is a man for whom bile
and dyspepsia has a particular aver
sion. He is a mar with a perpetual
thorn in his flesh. which pricks and
wounds at the slightest movement: a
man for whom the future has no
hope.

Why Immigrants Shun the South.

The st. Louis Rcp"bHc0n thus defines
the two chief causes for the lack of i'm
migration to the South
First, the existence of the large
negro population in the South second,
widespread misrepresentation and false
information rs to the social and political
condition Of that section"
A large negro population in Texas and
Arkansas docs not deter white immi-
grants from settling everywhere in those
States. "Falsc information about social
and political conditions" may have had
something to do with preventing immi-
grafton, but the chief cause for the i'm
migrants stunning the South is lack of
information concerning the facilities for
obtaining cheap land. Cheap land is the
great attraction i'll the West. Cheap
land takes the immigrant to Arkansas
and Texas. And cheap land will fetch
him to Tennessee and other Southern
States when he can have the assurance
that he can get it in those States. -Mcn1-

As2ecial from Helena, Ark, October 9Th, says,
Night before last an attempt was made to as.
SasSinate Simon Silverman while on his way to
TINS olty. Five shots were fred at him from be.
hinG Tree, with no other effect than to frighten
the horse ridden by Silverman, which threw its
rider without injuring him. The cause of this
attempt on Silverman's life is owing to the dis.
pute about the ownership of this lottery ticket
which won the $15, 900 prizo in the Louisiana
to be his, and Mrs Clark claiming that she
had bought it Of Silvorman, who afterwards
purloined it from her. The ticket WAS taken
from him at the muzzle OF the pistol, and he
has instituted suit for the money. 1t Is sup.
pc sI that the attempt on his life waa made to
kggc him from prosecuting the suit."-NeN

Embalming Chinese at Sea.

Every steamer sailing for China from
this port takes in the steerage large
number Of returning Mongolians. many
of whom are sick and suffering from in
durable diseases. Death is frequent
occurrence among them and the dead
are generally embalmed after an mex
pensive and effective method. The EN-.
balmment of the defunct heather is thus
described by gentleman who took
passage upon the Baltic upon her last
trip: 81 saw the interesting process OF
embalmming this morning. The surgeon
cut cash in the neck, picked up an
artery, tapped it. and with a hand pump
injected about twogallons of an arsenical
solution into the veins until they stood
out all over the body. Having lied up
the artery to keep the fluid in, the body
was placed in the rough redwood box,
sealed up and put on top of the wheel
house, where were number of others. !"
The bodies of all who die in passage are
stored on the top of the wheel-house-
hence the name of Lone Mountain is APP
piled to it.--Saa Francisco Cali.

Carrying q girl off in the middle of the
night isn't the way"
:" Not if you were not bothered and
badgered and tormented," sighed
Humphrey. i" Poor Letitia! wonder
where she is! We must go back"
"Of course" said Miss Monckton.
!" And you must 60 away. Humphrey,
don't coax that girl to do wrong. I'll
speak to Mrs. Quirk. I'll get her to
agree to your marriage. There's moth
ing against you as know of. Now, be
sensible, and you shall have her yet, and
I'll come to the wedding"
They drove back. There was no sign
of Letitia ON the road, though lights
were shining in the house, and the dis
appointed lover shrewdly suspected the
truth-namely, that Letitia had been
caught by her indignant father in the
very act of leaving the house.
Miss Martha slipped out of the car
rage with Pussy in her arms, praying
that Minty might not awake and see
her, and feeling as terrified as though
the elopement had actually been her
own. But she called on Mrs. Quirk
next day. and the interview ended hap
PLY for the lOvers-either because of
the tale of her own life that she told,
the revelation of their daughters indis-
erection. or a certain little promise that
she made. -
" I've nobody to leave my property
to-" she said to Mrs. Quirk, " and il
you let Letitia have Humphrey I'll
make my will in their favor to-mor-
row."
. Kinder singular" said the Widow
Williams at the next tea-drinking she
attended, /" that Humphrey Horton and
young Mrs. Horton should hev gone to
live with Miss Monckton. She amt no
kin of theirn."
But, nevertheless. there they were
very happy little family, too; and lit
tie Miss Monckton was never lonely
again. Letitia's children sat on her
knee and called her aunty and played
with grey old Pussy, who lay upon the
rug for many years.
"Its all Pussy's doing" Miss Monck-
ton used to say. .. If she had not run
away you would not be here"
But naturally the children did not
understand. Mary Kyle Dallas, in NJ.

On one occasion had .capitalop-
portunity of observing the movements
of bear while engaged in an attempt
to procure himself meal. Bruin was
first seen on the ice, about a thousand
yards from us, stealthily advancing
toward seal that was lying apparently
asleep about five hundred yards Off
Wishing to observe his motions
we made the boat fast to the ice
and concealed ourselves at the bottom
The bear crept up very cautiously to-
ward his would-be prey, occasionally
breaking through the thin rotten ice
and swimming for some distance, some
times altogether under water. Having
approached to within about twenty or
thirty yards of his victim, he made q
rapid, headlong rush toward it; but
only to meet with disappointment. for
quick as had been his motions, those of
the seal were more rapid still. and he
vanished down his blow-hole before his
aggressor had covered half the distance
that separated them when he made his
final charge. The bear, however, fol-
lowed into the water, where he remained
diving and searching about for some
little time before he emerged, swapping
his jaws viciously, evidently much en-
ragged at his failure, and behaving alto
gether in very savage manner At
this juncture the harpooner who was
with me initiated the cry of a walrus,
and with such success as entirely to de-
ceive the bear. who, prlcking up his
ears, quickly advanced toward us, but
only to meet his death from bullet out
of my Captain Markham, in

Peculiar Fingers.

There is a well-to-do farmer living in
Orange County, near Warwick. who has
a peculiar trouble every winter with his
hands. As soon as the first cold wind
comes in autumn his fingers and thumbs
up to the union with the hand appear
nearly as white as snow, while the
hands and wrists, by contrast, are a
deep blood-red. In winter his fingers
feel like icicles; IN fact. so little does
the blood circulate in them that there
is but little feeling in them. Curiously
enough, while his fingers are almost
bloodless his feet are always glowing
with warmth, so much so that he sell
dom wears stockings. And one cold
day the past winter, when he froze one
ear and a portion of his face, and while
his fingers were as rigid as marble his
feet, covered only with his boots, were
glowing with heat. Elnsira IN. ~
