That BOY Of GalIagher's.

The circumstances were as follows:
Mr.. Gallagher had to take a train that
left at six o'clock, 80 he arose about day
light to breakfast, and thought he had
better put on some thick boots instead
of the light shoes he wore In the even
ing. Now, it seems that Gallagher's
son had worn the old mans boot while
roller skating, and had left skates on the
boots, and in the darkness Gallagher did
not notice this fact as he pulled the
boots on, though he thought they felt
heavy. He then CROPPED his way to the
head of the stairs, the skates making no
trouble on the carpet. Then he started
down stairs. He got there dreadfully
sudden. He was terribly annoyed as he
picked himself up, and said very wicked
things as he started for the dining
room. Breakfast was laid, but only a
dim light was'burning. Immediately he
set foot on the polished floor hissfeet
flew into the air and his head came
down with terrible force. The wild yell
that he gave brought his wife and moth
er-in-law in from the kitchen. He rose
to his feet, but they Immediately started
off in different directions, and after
wrenching his spine and knee joints ter
ribly in trying to control them, they got
away, and he Jared the spinal column
as he went down. ''Land of gracious!
this floor is Oiled" he roared, as he be-
gan to make efforts to rise. "Have you
apoplexy or have you been drinking?''
asked his wife, as he strove to assist him
to get up. "You hold your jaw, you
idiot" he replied, and then she let go of
him sort of sudden, and down he went.
bruising himself in six places. Gosh, y
"tunket," "drat," and "durn," were
words called into requisition to relieve
his mind that time, and he told his
mother in-law, who had fallen laughing
into chair, that he hoped size would
meet COWS every time she went out
Then he essayed to rise once more, and
got upon his feet. The skates began to
slip, but he struggled like hero, and
clutched the air wildly to keep his bal.
ance. No use AS he fell forward he
wildly grabbed the table-cloth, and as a
result yanked the entire breakfast down
upon him. The hot tea scalded him,
the pepper got into his eyes, the mus
tard into his mouth and the eggs all ovel
him. His cries were fearful. They
hauled hiIa from the debris and started
TO put him to bed when they discoveries
the rollers. Mr.. Gallagher was terribly
used up, but he started at once to fine
his son, and the lads signing over his
great grief was heard blocks away.

Young Lovatti, up to o few years ago,
was one of the large class OF idle youths
to be found in all Italian towns, decently
connected and nominally an artist 1t
was his ill-luck to meet with Belgian
lady, who is described as neither young
nor beautiful, but who had, according
to her own account, a fortune of 30, 000,-
900 francs left her by M. Jacob, Minis
ter of Police under the Empire, the copy
of whose will she had deposited with o
notary at Naples. This the notary actu-
ally had, but it seems he had expressed
doubts of it's genuineness. How much
of the story Lovatti believed san not be
told but he married Mile Vanduelle,
taking care, however, only to go through
the religious ceremony, which is not
legally binding; and the happy pair
proceeded to spend their thirty millions.
Every one seems to have taken the story
of the will for true, and to have given
unlimited credit, though at the. same
time charging such prices for goods as
were consistent with such fortune !;
thus fan worth 500 francs at the out
side was put down at 1900 francs.
From Rome the pair went to Naples,
where they chose the richest jewels, the
costiest dresses, and then they proceed
ed to London to draw the millions. In
London Lovatti discovered the fraud at
the time he was in the treaty for the pur-
chase of the Villa Mirafori, ut Rome
(the property, of the late Kings wife,,
and also for title formerly held by his
family and then they started for Brus-
sells, where they proceeded to sell the
jewelry, etc. BY this time suspicion
awakened In Rome and Naples, and
some of the creditors started at once for
Brussels, where they succeeded i'll recov-
ering part of their money. Lovatti
gave himself up to the police, and he
and his wife were brought back to Ma
Piles, where, after some months impris-
onment, they were released on bail
Thereupon Mad. Lovatti disappeared,
leaving a letter saying that she was
sorry to have got her husband "intc
trouble" and Lovatii had been sentenced
to six years Imprisonment. James

One of the Oldest books in existence
is collection of proverbs by Ptahbotop,
an Egyptian, who lived somewhere about
the time of Abraham. Among his In
functions is the following, which we
commend to the writer's on woman's
emancipation, domestic economy, and
other topics, who may think that the
subjects which they discuss are fresh and
suggested by the increased intelligence
of modern civilization
:" If thou be wise, furnish thy house
we'll WOO thy wife and do not quarrel
with her; nourish her; deck her out,
for fine dress is her greatest delight.
Purpose to make her glad as long al
thou Invest. She is blessing which hen
possessor should treat as becomes his
own standing. Be not unkind to her."
This counsel is none the less useful al
the present day, because $500 years
have elapsed since it was given.

skeleton of an Indian Chief in Armor

Some time ago, some boys while play
ing III the rear of the town hall at East
Machias, discovered what appeared to
be the bClrial place of an Indian. The
remains have recently been exhumed
and are, perhaps, the most interesting
ever discovered in Maine. They are
evidently those of a chief. A copper
band nearly two inches wide encircled
the head. TO the right ear, which was
dried and well preserved, were attached
ornaments of copper two and one-half
inches long by one wide A part of the
scalp was also preserved, showing the
long black hair peculiar to the Indians.
Upon the breast rested an iron knife
completely oxjdized. A piece of the
skin with the imprint of the knife was
also found. The face was covered with
a mat made of the leaves of the cattail
rush. Birch bark was used to envelop
the head. while the whole body was
wrapped in a moose skin of which the
hair and few fragments remained upon
the breast Outside of this skin was a
copper breast-plate sixteen or seventeen
inches long. There was also fond a
triangular Ratchet, like those used by
the early French settlers Captain John
Smith mentions such hatchets in the
hands of the savages.
DIR. j. p. Sheahan, of DennysviIle,
has obtained possession of these relics,
which resembles others obtained 10y him

GEORGE Town, Dec. 20.
On Wednesday last the mortal part OF
Washington the Great, the father OF his
country and the friend of man, was con-
signed to the tomb with solemn honors
and funeral pomp.
A multitude Of persons assembled
from miles around at Mount Vernon, the
choice abode and last residence of the
illustrious chief. There were the groves
the spacious avenues, the beautiful
and sublime scenes, the noble mansion
but, alas the august inhabitant was
now no more. His mortal part
was there, indeed but ali how

such worth and greatness, thus, to

seemed to express the dignity of the

form. Then those who paid the last
sad honors to the benefactor of his
country took an impressive, q farewell
view.
On the ornament at the head of the
coffin was inscribed "Surge ad Judi

When the procession had arrived ST

formed their lines, the clergy, the Ma.

of the church were performed. The fir
ing was repeated from the vessel In the
river, and the sounds echoed from the
woods and fields around.
Three general discharges by the IN.

New Fair Association.

In our last issue we published a COM
munication containing some suggest
ions and remarks pertinent to the or
ganization of a new fair association.
Last fall the interest in movement
in this direction was at fever heat. and
a number of prominent and active bus
mess men signitied their intention of
backing the enterprise.-We hope these
gentlemen will again take the matter
II hand and push it to success.
1t is well known that the old associa-
ton has lost the sympathy of the public.
and that any change for the better
would be at once heartily seconded by
the public generally. Kirksville, and
Adair county, can and should take the
lead: Our central position, railroad
facllties and the interest which our
town is regarded abroad, gives us great
to start with. Let a good
strong, enterprlsing. association take
charge and offer something worth see
ing, and it would be easy enough to call
out ten to twenty thousand visitors, in
stead of half as many hundreds. We
hope to hear more remarks and suggest
ions from those interested in the project.
