= At or near New Braintrcc, Vt, years
ago, lived Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Smith
Now Mrs. Smith was Il constant borrow

returned ''short'' measure. Mrs. Brown
never borrowed, it being against her
rule. Her patience atlast boin@cxhaust-

She bought a canister, and put therein 3
pound OF tea. Next day comes Mrs.
Smith. She wants a drawing or two Of
tea. Out comes that canister. and Mrs
Smith departs with the tea. In time the
tea was returned, us usual n little short.
The tea was pnt in the canister aud set

happy. So the borrowing and repayiug
went on till the canister was empty,
save the last repayment. On the next
application for tea Mrs. Brown calmly
presents the canister, to Mrs. Smith,
telling her it was all that WAS left of the
pound of tea. Mrs Smith was cured of
the bad habit of borrowing.

Henry James, Jr.


Mr.. Henry James, Jr., remains in
Boston. The three leaders of the Bos-
ton school, of novel writers-Aidrich,
Howells and James-did not receive a
college education. James, the young

ed to the Atlantic Monthly in 1865. He
was then student under the eyre of his
father. He lives in bachelors lodgings
and uses his mornings for writing, in
which he is. as Poe was and Harte is,
painfully slow. He has a habit of not
remaining long enough in good com

Goats and Does,

in some parts of the West goats are
placed in sheep pens to drive away
wolves, service for which their superb
or butting powers peculiarly fit them
The experiment has been triedin Hunter
don and Somerset Counties, N j., with
complete success, as protection for
sheep against dogs. Two goats, it is
said, can drive away dozen dogs, and
two are about all that it is necessary to
keep with a moderate-sized flock. As
soon as dog enters the field at night
the goats go at him, and send him rolling
over and over in short order. A few
doses of this. heroic treatment prove
quite enough for his dogship, and he is
glad to limp howling away as best he
can. Formerly, the farmers say, when
dog entered a sheepfeld at night, the
timid creatures would run wildly about
and cry piteously. Since the goats have
been used to guard them, they form in
line behind their sturdy defenders, and
seem to enjoy the fun.

A Much Mystifed Young Man.

A mystilied youth writes to ask us TO
unravel and generally decipher a remark
made to him the other night by a young
lady, with whom he had repaired to
restaurant for supper, after visiting
Wallack's theatre. 1t seems they were
demo}ishing some broilcd frogs, and the
conversation being on the subject Of fiirt-
ing, the young lady expressed herself as
follows: Il think the way you men do
go on is perfectly outrageous. You firt
with every girl you see, and when you
have broken their hearts what do you
care for them?-why nothing. You act
exactly as the men do who Scatch these
poor little frogs, the hind legs is all they
care for.' Now, what in heavens name,
says the young man, did she mean by
that? How on earth should we know?
The idea!

A Well Developed Vein Discovered Near

Dies MONIES, Ia. Feb. 17.-Mueh excitement
has been caused here among coal men, and
also in business circles, by the discovery of
vein of pure camel coal in the last few weeks.
1t has been discovered in Red Rock township.
Marion county. about thirty miles below the
city of Des Moiues. 1t was discovered on
farms in that township by some parties who
were prospecting for coal on the new line of
the Wabash road into Des Moines, finding it
In regular seam in one place. They tried
in three or four other places, distanta mile or
two, and found itthere also. 1t is vein
Ave feet thick, the lower two and a half feet of
which is pure camel, and the other half coal
much resembling the Blossburg coal. Large
quantities of 1t were brought to this city to-
day. 1t was tried by the gas company here
and pronounced fully equal to the Virginia
camel coal. 1t burns to a white gray ash and
an oil oozes out of it as it burns. A VEN of
six feet of common bituminous has also been
found by these prospectors sixty feet below
this camel vein. There is great excitement
over these discoveries, aud land in that region
is being eagerly bought I'D

LONDON, Feb. 17.--In explaining in com.
mons the recent utterance in regard to home
rule. Gladstone said he held for the custom
Of local government very clear and distinct
opinions, though it was unlikely he would
ever be called to take action upon them. he
considered the decentralization OF parliament
should be the cardinal rule of policy; that To-
cal institutions are source of great stength.
He believed wise and just way of meeting
the demands for bringing Irish affairs more
under Irish control, is not to regard it as a
first step towards separation, but rather to ask
the promoters of the change to formulate
the guarntees they are prepared to give for the
supremacy of parliament. He had never yet
received an adequate and satisfactory explana-
ton on this point.
DUBLIN, Feb. 7.-Jno. O'Connor, former
member of parliament, writes Gladstone's
declaration justified the opinion that this is
the time for pressing the question of home
rule.

Hung for the Murder of Dlssolute
Father.
james Allison.

James AtttSOh
INDIANA, Pa, Feb. Thames G. Allison,
convicted of numbering his father, suffered the
penalty of death by hanging this morning at
II o'clock. The prisoner arose at o'clock
this morning, having slept four hours. He ate
hearty breakfast, but preserved stolid ST.
lence. At IL o'clock his mother, sister and
brother called, but ne positively refused to see
them, and when they came into the cell would
not recognize them. He also refused to be
shaved, and would not allow the sheriff to
dress him in new suit. At IL o'clock exact
~ the trap was sprung and
the prisoner launched into eternity.
The only words he spoke were: 81 have
been fetched here wrong. The body was al
lowed to hang till 11:30, when it was cut down
and life pronounced extinct. No excitement
prevailed. No one witnessed the execution ex-
cepting the officers of the law and newspaper
men. The crime for which young Allison suf
fered was committed On June Is, 1880. Neigh
bors living in the vicinity of Allison's resi-
dence heard the report of several pistol shots,
and hurrying out to ascertain the cause found
the dead man lying on the ground with four
shots in his body. He died three days after,
and before death said his son James had muir
dered him. James was arrested, tried and con.
victed, the evidence being strong against him
and showing that bad feeling had existed
among members of the Allison family for
long time, on account of the fathers dissolute
habits.
