A Fathers Plan to Save His Son.
 From thn London Te1epraph

Originality of conception and vigor in exc cution alike characterize the expedient adopted few days ago by Partisan father to obtain his only sons exemption from the conscription of 1882. The youth,it appears, had drawn ''bad number" and the pros, pect of his exposure to the perils and fa- t1gues of military service plunged his mother into such dark depths of despair that her husband, unable to endure the contemplation of her sore affiiction, made up his mind one day to take measure which could not fail to avert the threatened separation of mother and son. While they were weeping in one anothers arms, he suddenly clasped them both in 8 convulsive embrace, murmuring the word ''Adieu !' and rushed from the house to the nearest bridge over the Seine, whence he sprang head foremost into the river For promptly put off from the quay and succeed ed with considerable difficulty in rescuing him alive but insensible. He was conveyed to the 1norgue and there stripped in order to be subjected to the usual restorative process of violent friction. In accordance with the regulations of that institution, his clothes were searched, with view to establishing his identity, and in his pocketbook was found a sheet of note paper upon which he had writ ten down his name, address and the follow ing touching sentence: "The child shall not be parted from his mother he is widows only son." Never yet, in all probability, has tale of sublime self sacrifice been told in SO few words

The Hohenste1n Car Coup1er-Anothe CT
 High Endorsement.

The EIohenste1n Car Coup1er-Another High Endorsement.
 The National Car Bui1der for May has the appended article on 8 New Haven invention. The fact that this journal is a well known authority on matters pertaining to railroads gives decided value to it's endorsement
 Mr. A. G. Hohenstein, of New Haven, Ct. has invented 8 car coupler, which, if the claims in it's behalf are well-founded aud the tests to which it has been subjected are not exaggerated leaves nothing further to be de- sired in respect to this most important class of car attachments. The coupling is effected by simply running the cars together, and they can be uncoupled from either side or from the top of the car, whether the slack of the train is taken up or not and upon any de- gree of curve. The device is adapted to all cars of standard dimensions, and to all varia- tions in the heights of draw bars will not uncouple accidentally; can be so set that in switching the cars can be run together with out coupling furnishes strong and durable buffer and can be used with any draw bar now in use. The ordinary links and pins are entirely discarded and double link-and- hook connection substituted in their stead. with a breaking strain of much greater strength. This coupler was recently tested in New Ha' ven in the most thorough manner, and under the supervision of large number of promi nent railroad men, the result being in every respect satisfactory. Let the public generally rejoice that quietus has been given to this interminable problem. It may be bad for the business of the patent bureau, but it is a boon to trainmen In saying this, we assume of course that the claims and tests will be sub- ject to no modification in the practical work ing of the device.

Rumor in the Stomach.

Much of the distress and sickness attribu- ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stomach. Several cases, with all the charac- teristics of these complaints, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents and when once used secures the confidence of the people.

AurOras and the Weather.

It is probable that auroraS have some sig nifcance The last brilliant aurora was CO., incident with an enormous and rapidly changing sun spot which was easily seen through smoked glass, and had an estima- ted diameter of over 5O GOO miles. The con- nection between sun spots and magnetic dis turbances on the earth's surface is 8 matter not of theory, but of demonstrated fact. Careful observations conducted at Kew, En- gland, over series of years, settle the ques- tion An unusual development of spots in- dicating Gas they are interpreted) fierce activity of the solar energies is invariably accompanied by what are called magnetic storms" Sets of diagrams (like those used to show the highest and lowest prices of cotton, sugar and wheaD exhibit 8 close relation, which cannot be accident al between the maxima and minima of sun spots, and those also of magnetic disturb ances It by no means follows that every abnormal outbreak of sun spots gives rise to an auroral exhibition on the grand scale of the recent one. The sun spots may be i'm mense, but not necessarily productive of au- roras The latter are phenomena occurring almost nightly in the Arctic regions and fre- quently in our latitude during the fall, Wln- ter and spring months They may have some as yet unknown relation to the weath- er but none, so far as positively determined, to sun spots. If sun spots alone cause au- roras, the "streamers'' would not be called northern" They would be as brilliant and weird at the equator as in northern climes and in summer as in winter. They may sometimes appear simultaneously with mag netic disturbances but there is no convlnc- ing evidence that they produced by sun spots To assume the contrary is to beg the whole question and to solve the auroral mys- tery out of hand.-Neao York Journal 0f C0zp01e7Ue
