Bells.

In many places in England a bell is
rung after dark. The origin is usually
curious though generally and wrongly
put down to the curfew. At Storing
ton, a village in Sussex, the bell rings at
eight in the evening. This is in virtue
of an endowment; man lost his way
on the Downs in sea fog, and only
found his home by hearing the bell of
Storrington church. In gratitude, he
endowed the church with sum of mon
ey, on condition that the bell should be
rung at eight o'clock every night. A
similar account is given of the bell of
Great St. Mary's, Cambridge, which
rings at nine in the evening, having
been endowed by Saxon princess, who
was saved from perishing in the fens
by hearing Cambride bell. ''Great
Tom," of Christ Church, Oxford, is toll
ed one hundred and three times every
night; the origin is probably the same
as that of the others, but the scout
only knows that the "buttery'' is then
opened. AT Rome bell rings at zone
hour of the night for the De Profundis,
and at "two hours" the evening before
8 fast. This ''one hour of night means
one hour after the Ave or Angelus; and
not, as a clever tourist once described in
his diary, one o'clock in the morning.

Youthful Love-Making.

A gentleman was swinging in ham,
mock with a four-yearold boy, who is
on a country vacation, when he noticed
in another hammock just opposite a
bright little girl of about the same age,
named Nony Belle.
'If l were you," said the gentleman
to the little fellow, Il would 60 over and
kiss Nony Belle; she looks just as if she
wanted kiss"
Nony Belle overheard the remark, and,
placing her chubby finger in her mouth,
twisted her head around in a rather
abashed manner.
The little fellow gazed at her intently
for full minute, and then, shaking his
head wisely, exclaimed, with an express
sion of disgust, Il don't know about it;
she sucks her finger, and l got through
with that when l was baby''

4 Virginian of the Old School.

The death, near Malvern Hill, Va,
of Nathan Enroughty is likely to revive
the question, often discussed, but never
satisfactorily answered, why the name
of numerous family should have been,
for at least century, universally spelled
Enroughty, and universally pronounced
Darby. The members of the family
themselves follow this strange perver-
sion, always writing their name one
way and pronouncing it the other, but
can give no explanation of its origin.
Nathan Enroughty, who has just died at
n great age-from 80 to 100 years-was
a soldier in the war of 1872, and q pen
sioncr of the government. He was
famous, even beyond middle life, for
his strength, activity, and endurance,
and it is said that no prudent man ever
venturcd to try conclusions with him
when natures weapons were the only
ones to be employed. Foreleven years,
however, blindness had kept him in
hateful inactiVitY.

An English Tit for an American Tat.

One day while Bret Uarte and August
us Sala were walking arm i'll arm down
Bond street, in London, Sala suddenly
said:
''What on earth makes you walk so
close to the shop windows, old fellow?"
ITO avoid being run into,' replied
Harte, grimly. The fact is your coun-
trymen wear so many glasses screwed
into their eyes that they can't see where
they're going to save 'em.'
''Ah!'' replied the English journalist,
screnely.
Later in the day they CHANGED to be
passing the Langham Hotel, whcreupon
Sala suddenly seized Harte by the arm
and hurried him TO the opposite side of
the street.
'What the deuce does this mean? Did
you see u ghost or your tailor?'
''Well, no, said Salainnocently, as he
removed his hat and inspected it anxious
ly, ''but the fact is, that as we both wore
silk hats it wouldn't do for us to stay on
that side There are so many of your
countrymen at the Langham, and they
are splitting out of the window continu-

Shepherd Dogs of the Rockies.

One herder, whom we met at Cold
Spring rancho, showed lis very pretty
shepherd dog that he said he would not
sell for $500 She had at that time four
puppies. The night we arrived we WIS.,
tied his camp, and were greatly interest
ed in the little mother and her nursing
babies Amid those wild, vast noun
tains this little nest of motherly devotion
and baby-trust was very beautiful.
While we were exclaiming, the assistant
herdcr came to say there were more than
twenty sheep missing. Two male dogs,
both larger than the little mother, were
standing about, with their hands in
their breeches pocket, doing nothing.
But the herder said neither Tom nor
Dick would find them. Flora must so.
1t was urged by the assistants that her
foot was sore, she had been hard at work
all day, was nearly worn out, and must
suckle her puppies. The boss insisted
that she must 90. The sun was setting.
There was no time to lose. Flora was
called, and told to hunt for lost sheep,
while her master pointed to q great for
est. through the edge of which they had
passed on their way up. She raised her
head, but seemed very 10th to leave her
babies. The boss called sharply to her.
She rose, looking tired and ow-spirited,
with head and tail down, and trotted Oft
toward the forest. | said:
THAT is too bad"
"Oh, she'll be right back. She's light
ming on stray sheep"
The next morning went over to learn
whether Flora found the strays. While
we were speaking the sheep were re-
turning, driven by the little dog, who
did not raise her head or wag her tail,
even when spoken to, but crawled to
her puppies and lay down by them, Of

never see foolish boy putting away
at poisonous cigarette without recall
ing IA visit once paid a cigarette fac
tory. Whew! | wouldn't write-or,
rather, you wouldn't dare print what l
saw. Dirty butts of cigars fresh from
the filth of the muddy streets are The
clcanest and incest of the material used
i'll compiling these precious roads to
ruin. Cigarette smoking is dangerous
vice, for it grows upon one. There was
a time when cigarette smoking was con-
fined almost entirely to Cubans, who
knew what good tobacco was and made
their own cigarettes. Gradually the
habit spread. Dealers followed suit.
Makers became unscrupulOus. Little
dirty boys were sent out to pick up ci-
oar stumps Other equally disgusting
material was also utilized. Opium was
made to do duty. Cheap paper took
the place of rice paper. l wish boys
could see the stuff their paper is made
from Wouldn't it turn their little
stomachs? l trow, trow. The cheap
paper, the old stumps. the opium and
the chemicals used to make them
''strong" deserve to be shown up. Par
ents have no influence with their sons.
Why not? Because they smoke cigars
and pipes themselves. The boys charge
all the good advice they get to their
fathers desire to keep them DOWN.
There is but one way to deal with Amer
lean boys. Reason with them through
their eyes. If every nicotined stomach
was made public, if every time fellow
died of too much cigarette the fact was
made known, if the proud boys could
be shown a rag factory and stump
grindery, it seems to me the cigarette
business would be wound up very soon.

A foreign correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayatne describes how it is
done:
A hair market was held a few dass
since in Bellenares, Allier County. 1t
was attended by q great many women
from sweet sixteen to venerable sixty.
There were four hair buyers. Each had
his booth, whose front was filled with
cheap, gaudy calico cloths, worth at
the very outside twenty cents yard.
In the booth were two men, both
armed, one with a pair of scissors. and
the other with y yardstick. The for
mer would ask in an arrogant way, as
if he did not want hair and was doing a
great favor if he condescended to touch
a peasants hair
"What do You want in exchange for
that?'
Fifteen yards
ssFiftecn? If l give you four, six,
eight, thirteen" 0his figure was rarely
eXceeded), you may think yourself
very luckyr' The offer accepted, he
cuts the hair, and the other man meas
ures out the agreed number of yards.
Sometimes the merchandise is refused
as being worthless; the head is too old.
1t takes about five years for decent
fleece of hair to grow.

Mr.. Mndill'S Inlre.

A very sad incident occurred il Hobo
ken the other night. A man, whose
wife was SO badly afflicted with the
aesthetic craze that she had recently
given party to which only those OF
aesthetic tastes were invited, came home
in state Of intoXication, greatly to the
astonishment of his better half, who
had never seen him in such 4 condition
before. GLOW dare you appear before
me in such condition sir?' she eX-
claimed, ''It's esthetic,'' he replied.
''What do you, mean, sir?' asked the
wife. E'You gave little blowout the
other evening, didn't you, that you said
was very consummate af1air?'' 81

Captain Dacres then turned to me,
deeply affected, and said, ''I1ow have
our situations been most suddenly re-

All the boats of both ships were put
in reullisition to remove the wounded on

state-room till we arrived in port. About
two hundred of his men were neceSsnri-
IL ironed. rs the ship was so crowded.
Charles Morris (now CommOdOre), the
first officer of the Constitution, had q
ball through his body, and for several
days his recovery was dOubtful-during
which time he sent for me to come to
his room-and | well remember his I'M

Captain Hull and his officers extended
to their prisoners.
On Sunday, about noon, the COnstitu-
ton arrived in Boston Harbor. / was
sent Oh shore in the beat. The harbor
between the ship and wharves was now
covered with boats to learn the news.
The first boat we neared we hailed,
''The Constitution has captured the
Gucrricre" Instantly the two men in
the boat took off their hats, and violent
" struck them on the side of the boat,
and, rising, gave cheer upon cheer.
They hailed other boats, and thus the
air was rent with cheers, and the VIC
tory passed along until it reached the
wharf, and then spread like wildtire all
over the city and country.
1t is now nearly forty years since the
transaction of that day proved to the
Americans that British frigates were
not inYincible. Who can remember that

The Democratic Executive Commit
tee for the 10th Congressional District
met at De Soto last Saturday, and call
ed the Convention to nominate can
didate for Congress to meet at Antho-
ny & Kuhn's garden in st. Louis on
the 25th inst. There was not a full at
tendance of the committee, Iron, St..
Francois, Ste. Genevieve and Perry
counties not being represented. The
city districts, however, were out in full
force, and ran things to suit themselves.
A motion to postpone the calling of the
Convention until q fuller meeting OF
the committee could be had, was de-
feated-the city voting solIdly against,
and "the country" for the proposition.
The Executive Committee will meet at
O'Clock A. NJ, at Anthony & Kuhn's
garden, OH the 25th, and we hope every
member will use his utmost eudeavors
to be on hand. II such be not the case,
look out for some ward-bummer sharp

Tram Robbers.

On Tuesday a man by the name OF
Brown came into town and gave HIM
self up to the officials, stating that he
was one of band of five men who had
entered into an agreement to rob the
passenger train at Hendrickson, on the
Iron Mountain road. The Sheriff inn
mediately summoned a posse for the
purpose of arresting the other four. A
special train with armed men was sent
to HendricksOn just ahead of the No.
2, the train that was intended to be
robbed, but the robbers had failed to
put in appearance. Early "Wednesday
morning word came to town that four
heavily armed men had stayed all
night at Sheffield's mill six miles north
of Poplar Bluff. Another special train
carrying the Sheriff and posse was
Immediately sent up to the mill where
the Sheriff caught two of the robbers.
They were heavily armed, each having
heavy forty-four caliber, Smith d
Wesson latest improved revolYers.
The other two made their escape. The
two captured were brought to town
and lodged in the calabOose, where they
are now. They refuse to give their
names or any information that would
lead to their identity. The Sheriff and
several posses left last night to hunt
for the other two, news having reached
here late yesterday evening that they
had swan Black River, about five miles
north of here, yesterday. No doubt
they will be captured. Several detect
ives were sent down from St. Louis by
the Railroad Company, and arrived
hero yesterday evening.-Btut Cita-
