Origin of Names in the Week.

In the museum at Berlin, in the hall
devoted to northern antiquities, they
have the representations from the
idols from which the names of the
days of the week are derived. From
the idol of the Sun comes Sunday.
This idol is represented with his face
like the sun, holding burning wheel,
with both han DIS on his breast, signify
ing his course round the world. The
idol of the Moon, from which comes
Monday, is habited in a short coat, like
man, but holding the moon in his
hands. Tuisco, from which comes
Tuesday, was one of the most ancient
and popular gods of the Germans,
and represented in his garments
of skin, according to their peculiar
manner of clothing; the third day
Of the week was dedicated to his
worship. Wooden, from which comes
Wednesday, was a valiant prince
among the Saxons. His image was
prayed to for victory. Thor, from
whence comes Thursday, is seated in
bed, with twelve stars over his head,
holding a scepter in his hand. Friga,
from whence we have Friday, is repre-
sented with drawn sword in his right
hand, and a bow in his left. Scatter.
from which is Saturday, has the ap-
pearance of perfect wretchedness. He
is thin-visaged, long-haired, with long
beard. He carries a pail of water in
his right hand, wherein are fruits and
fowers.-PhiladeEphio Saturday Night.

ALL the crown jewels except one, be-

are now to be sold to the highest bidder
for cash. Thus passes away the glory
of this world The Republic of France,
having no longer any use for a throne
or king, has no longer any use for
the tinsel and gaudy baubles that kings
and queens are made of, and hence this
sale Of valuable diamonds. The one
reserved from the sale is the celebrated

AN Irish agitator in New Yorkre-
iates a blood-thirsty story Of a young
Irishman named Redmond McNama-
IA, who came to the United States with
the express purpose of assassinating
the British minister at Washington.
The conspiracy was a deep-laid and
desperate one, but failed. The plot
was for fifty men to row out to the yes
sci when the minister returned to
America, and for number of them to
board the ship with explosives. Bombs
would have been hurled at the minis
ter and he would have been killed, but
he saved his life by landing at Phila-
delphia. This agitator further declares
that the sum Of So, 900 is offered by the
advanced Irish Nationalist for the kill
ing of Forster and $4,000 more for the
killing of Gladstone; that eight resolute
men are now seeking their lives and
their death is only matter of time.

CuPabIR Aches

Among the aches which the unprecedented ca
reer of Hostetters Stomach Bitters has proved TO
be durable are those experienced by the rheumatic
Testimony of the most convincing character
establishes the fact that the atrocious disease,
even after resisting the most potent remedies of
the pharmacOpoeia, has succumbed to the action
of this benefcent blood depurent. Add to this
fact the important one that it is safe, and its su-
periority is very manifest Unfortunately safety
cannot be predicated of the ordinary drugs used
to overcome rheumatism, among which are several
violent poisons, and some of them as in the case
OF arsenic, have tendency to aggregate in the
system, and cause death at some unlooked-for
moment. A slight overdose Of the chief remedy.

IN every instance that Guiteau has
sought to avail himself of, to escape
the penalty for his having murdered
the President, he attributes the firing
Of the fatal shot to the Deity. He
does not state however that the Deity
appointed Garfield's successor. He
claims that he himself did and this ir-
reconcilability in his testimony seems
alone sufficient to fasten the RESPONSE
bility of his crime upon him, and can
only be regarded as an unqualified
personal confession of the act of assas-
sination.
