Running a Case on It's Merits.

Down in Maysville, the suit of one
George Gambs against the S. r. r. r. :,
for damages incurred in last summers
excursion train smash-up, came up for
trial.
The case was evidently going in favor
OF the plaintiff, who mad detailed his ter
rlble injuries in pathetic manner,
when the sympathetic foreman of the
jury wiped his eyes and said:
You say, my poor fellow, that the
baggage car carried away three of your
ribs, which will leave a dangerous and
unsightly wound as long as you live "
81 did, sir" replied the victim, in a
sad voice.
''Just be kind enough to remove suffi-
Gent clothing so that the jury can inspect
the injury"
"I-er-Id rather not" stammere d
the witness. might catch
cold. Isn't the surgeons certificate
enough?"
:" Yes ; but we should like to know the
exact fact, said the foreman.
"This hesitation looks very peculiar, -
growled the Judge. "The witness will
peel at once, according to Revised Stat
utes S41-63."
"Well, the fact is, gentlemen" said
the witness, desperately wiping the per-
SEPARATION from his forehead, g the fact
IS, that [ am not the smashed-up party
at all. Ny name is Skudder."
"Then, what in - do you mean by
this action ?" Numbered his Honor.
"The action is all right enough, may
it please the court" exclaimed the
plaintiff. "Gambs was all broke up in
this collision, just as stated. But as he
had been owing me 81, 900 for long
time, and as all he had in the world was
that hole in his side, I just clapped a
first lien on it. Last month he was sent
to Jail for sheep stealing, and so ]
thought I'd just run, the case on it's
merits, so to speak, and take the
chances"
And, althou h the railroad company s
attorney moved o nonsuit, the jury was
so impressed with the propriety Of the
transaction that they gave a verdict fo1
the amount and costs, before the Judge
could be walked up again in time to in.

Simon Camer0n's First Geography.

Yesterday an old gentleman who
knows much of his early history gave
me one incident as a specimen of how he
began life. Seen. Cameron's mother"
said the old friend, "was great woman.
She labored for her children with zeal
and energy OF which few beings are cap
able, and it was her teaching and ex-
ample, as we'll as native mental force,
which marked the life of her boys with
those strong characteristics which have
enabled them to make their mark in
life. The old storekeeper in Maytown,
the little hamlet in Lancaster county
where Gen. Cameron was born," said
my Informant, Gotten told of his struggle
for his first book in geography. He was
only or 9 years old when he became
far enough advanced in elementary edu-
cation to study geography, and he ap-
preached the teacher with the desire of
his heart. The teacher promised if he
could get book to put him in the class,
but how to get that book was the ques-
ton. It cost 81, and even pennies were
scarce in his home. He consulted his
mother, and they together planned for
the geography. She entered heartily
into her sons ambition.
"After three months of effort, enough
of the odds and ends of the economy
left from the daily demand for bread was
saved up. These were carried to the
country store by the boy who has since
written so strong ~ upon the pages of
his country's political history. When
they were weighed and counted the mer-
chant shook his head and said: There
is only 70 cents worth, Simon, and the
book costs 81 AS the boy thought OF
the struggle he had made to accumulate
what he had brought, and still the prize
was far away, the tears sprang to his
eyes. The merchant rejented, and, tax
ing him by the shoulders, said : Simon,
you are good boy; you can have the
book, and you can pay me the other n
cents when you get it. He not only
lived long enough said his friend, to
pay the 81 cents but to do the man who
thus served his childish ambition many

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

The lobster has been known to attain
the age Of 20 years.
The entire feathers of an owl weigh
only an ounce and half.
IT is said that the lion will suffer nc
other animal than the dog to live in the
same den with him.
SNAKES have great repugnance to
carbolic acid, which acts as sudden
and fatal poison to them.
DR.. SPARRMAN is of opinion that the
hon is great coward-or at least. that
his courage is not proportionate to his
strength.
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK once tanned a
wasp. It ate sugar from his hand, per-
mitted him to stroke it, and was inclined
to be quite social.
ON more than one occasion sparrows
have been seen to bury dead comrade,
and the funerals were largely attended.
They cover the body with leaves and ut
ter cries Of distress.
BIRDS are very particular in choosing
their mates. They are just like people
IN this respect. Even after they are
mated, if the male gets hurt or loses his
show feathers, the female will desert
him.,
BRITISH heads are gradually growing
smaller. Within the last quarter of a
century the dimensions of the head have
sunken on an average one-seventh of an
inch, at least so says paper recently
read before the Bristol Naturalist So
ciety. ~a
ALLIGAToRs build nests about four
feet high resembling haycocks. They

The sea covers ree-fourths of the
surface of the globe. It's sadness is at
tributable to rivers and springs which
are constantly washing into it chloride
of sodium and other soluble salts. As
evaporation carries none of these salt,
back, they naturally accumulate. The
sea water in Arctic regions is less salt
than in the tropics, owing to the melting
icebergs. The color OF the sea water
when free from all colors is a pure deep
blue. The color is due to the fact that
the blue rays of the spectrum are less
liable to be absorbed by masses Of trans
parent substances than the others, thus
predominating in the reflected pencil.
The red, white and brown patches in
the Pacific and Indian oceans are owing
to the presence of swarms Of animal
cules, and the colors of the Red and the
Yellow seas to materials of vegetable Or
igin. The phosphorescence Of the sea,
best seen on dark night, is due to the
presence of innumerable forms of life
contained in the water. ~
