The matrimonial aspirations of Lee
Hale and Katie Morgan were opposed
by her parents at Chattanooga, Tenn.
She was kept so close prisoner that
all plans of elopement failed, as she
was not allowed to go beyond the
veranda of the house. At length Hale
made up party OF friends, including
minister, and approached the house
near enough to signal Katie to come
out. The obligins clergyman had
shortened the marriage ceremony for
this occasion to a few words, and it was
supposed that these could be spoken
before any interruption occurred. The
girl was caught on the veranda by
big brother. and in escaping from him
fell down the steps, bruising herself
considerably, but the ceremony was
successfully performed, amid the cheers
of O multitude.

How People Die.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher in one OF
his sermons Gays: 81 think the great
majority OF people die very much as
leaf does. ITS supply of juice grows
less and less, and the stem is less and
less nourished, and it gradually re-
tracts and shrinks within itself, and
hangs on the branch; and some day
when the wind blows in very gentle
puffs the leaf is lifted @ little and the
connection breaks, and it wavers and
wavers through the air and settles with
out sound upon the ground. I sup
pose that the majority are as uncon-
scious of the phenomenon of dying as
children are of going to sleep; it is 30
like it that it is called in Scripture fall
ing asleep'-only there the figure is
sweetened and made more beautiful, in
that we fall asleep in Jesus, or in His
arms"

California Pears.

A San Francisco correspondent writes:
Mr.. Mills, the editor of the Sacra-
mento Record. Union and the president
of the California Associated Press, dur
ing a long ride around Sacramento,
took me to see q Sacramento valley
pear orchard. There are millions of
acres in the valleys of the Sacramento,
San Joaquin, Yuba and Feather rivers,
where splendid crops are raised without
irrigation. There is no rain. but still
the ground is constantly moist from
seepage. The Yuba, Sacramento and
Feather rivers are several feet above
the surrounding farms-caused by the
debris from the hydraulic mines in the
mountains, The levee holds them up
above the farms.
The pear orchard visited has twenty
acres in it. There are 175 trees to the
acre. It is four years old. Last year
the trees paid the owner $3.50 a tree
and nearly $3.50 per acre. In a few
years each tree will pay $40. The Or
chard is beautifully cultivated. Not q
weed is to be seen. Every fall the top
of every pear limb is cut off eighteen
inches, to keep the tree down. ALI
California grapevines are cut down in
the fall to one main stem, with few
stub limbs at the top. The vines thus
stand alone.
Cinnamon do ell the work in these

Worrying.

Every mortal has burdens and dis

Fun In Africa,

I had capital fun-for even in African
travelling we have our hours of ease
in my attempts to take some photo
graphs of the people. I found this q
matter of the utmost difficulty. Almost
places my attempts had proved abortive,
owing to the suspicious and superstitious
notions of the people, who would just
as soon have stood at the cannon's
mouth as face the camera. While the in
strument was being erected they usually
gathered around in crowds, open
mouihed with wonder and curiosity.
But no sooner did I slip the black cloth
over my head for focusing purposes
than they fled dincontinently, and neither
bribery nor caiolery could avail to make Q
them stand again. They were always
thoroughly imbued with the idea that
I was working witchcraft, and that my
supposed charming would take some
vital essence out of them. Hence not
few villages remained absolutely de-
serted as long as the camera continued
on it's legs.--GooG Words.

CURES FOR Badness. The Chemists
journal says: DR.. Xavier Landerer, of
Athens, has again been 30 obliging as
to send us some notes from the cradle
of pharmacy: Numberless remedies for
badness of French, English, German
and American origin stock our markets,
but none, according to DR.. Landerer,
equal in efficiency the following, which
he has used and prescribed for many
years past. Prepare tincture of the cups
of the Querc1s egilops, which are known
in commerce as valonis, and digest with
It powdered cloves and cinnamon.
Make tincture by digesting the leaves
of the Ldurtss apOllonis in acid wine,
and mix the two together. Before ap-
plying this remedy the skin of the head
should be we'll washed with decoction
of saponaria root (SapOnaria lecantica),
to cure any eranthema pitbyiLatis which
may be present. Instead of pomatum
or hair oil, laurel oil should be used,
this being the usual hair oil in vogue
among the ladies OF the East. DIR.
Landerer calls this remedy for badness

the curiousness of the character before

tops and straps, lavender pants, q
1ouble-breasted buff vest, a turtle
green cutaway coat, a blue, white dotted
silk scarf, diamond pin and tall, pointed
collar, the ends of which project out
and upward like sleigh-lunners. In.
stead OF cuffs he wears lace ruffles
about his soft, small white hands.
Each hand supports handsome rings.
a tiny gold watch chain sweeps around
IN crescent across his yellow waistcoat
front, and he dries his weeping eyes
with snow-white lace kerchief. His
tall, old-fashioned, yellowish beaver hat
has fur on it longer than that of NAL
tese cat. He drives around in q white
and yellow coach, emblazoned with his
coat of arms. These and q bunch of
other eccentricities and idiosyncracies
make up one of the ablest lawyers in
the land and the attorney general of the
United States. He is of good height,
with we'll poised and phrenologi-
calIy rounded head. His argu-
ments are as clean cut and trenchant as
the circle of a Damascus blade in q
giants hand. His language is chaste
and clear, and cuts to the marrow. His
"insulting" ugliness reminds me of a
speech Tom Marshall made, when under
the influence of liquor, to man whose
vie he disliked. Said the Woodford
orator "Bill, your wife is blamed
ugly woman" WE'LL" replied Bill,
flushing up, "that is her privilege"
"Yes," replied Tom, "but she abuses
the privilege" And it looks that way
in Brewster's case, He is said, how
ever, to be charming man in conversa-
tion and in the social circle.
