FATAL AMUSEMENT, -Four years ago a
Joung girl belonging to an influential
family in Cincinnati was sent to fashio
aole boarding school in an eastern city
to finish" She was excitahle, fond OF
.dmiraton, and intoxicated with glimpses
of the gay world around her and her free
dom from home restraint.
In an evil hour 1t was suggested to her
by q clsssmate as good fun" to answer
an advertisement in a New York paper for
1.-THE acquaintance of an intellectual lady
friend" An immediate reply came to
her letter; correspondence followed
with the rascal who inserted the adver-
tisement-and men who advertise for
young lady correspondents are always
evil .minded-and at last photographs
were exchanged. The whole affair
seemed to this innocent girl, harmless
little drama in which she played the role
of heroine.
After few weeks her friend and
correspondent" came to the city where
she was. An hour was set in which he
was to pass the window Of her boarding
house, and they were to see each other for
the first time. He was q middle aged
man, handsome and we'll dressed, with a
melancholy, romantic air which thrilled
her heart. A meeting was arranged in a
restaurant. To keep the tryst she escaped
in the evening BY back window.
So far, love excitement, Of so.called
romance, outside of the humdrum round
of history and geography of the school
room, had spurred her on. But now she
fancied herself in love. II would be cru
el in teachers or parents to keep her from
this prince among men. What "fun" it
would be to outwit them all and to sur
prise them by secret marriage as he
urged!
One Aight. therefore. she disappeared,
and when she returned after few weeks
she showed her wedding ring. declaring
that she had been married. Investigation
showed that the ceremony had been per-
formed by some worthless friend of the
villain who had deceived her. Both were
gone and no trace of them could be
found.
The wretched girl, when she learned
the truth, escaped before her parents
reached the school, and took refuge in the
city almshouse, where she died from
shame, and from the result of her rela-
tions with the man who had deceived her.
God, ID may be, sent death as his most
merciful messenger to her.
The story needs no words to point its
meaning. Innocent young girls are too
apt to carry on so'called filtration and
even correspondence, for the sake of tenn
porary excitement or "fun," with men to
whom they are strangers. 1t is well for
them to remember that although the fool
ish drama may not end In tragedy like
this, they are endargering their good
name for life, and placing themselves ir
the power OF men whose character may
be vile beyond description.

Guitoau's recent letter. in which he de
mands "an unconditional pardon or moth
ing" has been characterized by some
persons as arrogant. 1t seems, however,
upon reflection to be the most modest of
his many efasions. The alternative which
he suggests in the same breath as the
unconditional pardon" should be granted
to him by every one who believes In Civ.
ing a petitioner what he asks for. As, In
the case of the dccease of n somewhat
pompous parsonage, an appreoiative editor
wrote of him In bis obituary that "his
motto In life was TO be Cesar or nobody,
and he lived up TO 1t, although he never
was Cesar"--so il is likely to be recorded
Of Guiteau, that when he asked for an I'M
conditional pardon or nothing he was i'm.
mediately accommodated; but he never
got the pardon. - Boston Journal.

A rich farmer and his wife living near
Walnut Hill, H., after dwelling together
in unity for forty years and becoming
responsible for no fewer than thirteen
children, suddenly came to the surprising
conclusion that their tempers were incom-
patible, and accordingly separated. The
wife then brought suit for divorce, which
came on trial last week at Mt. Vernon.
The lawyers on both sides during the din
ner recess entered into q most creditable
agreement to reconcile the aged couple, If
it were possible, and the Judge cordially
offered to assist them. During the session
each made conciliatory speech, affirming
that his client was susceptible to those
kindly sentiments which adorn humanity.
and the Judge followed with a pathetic
admonition. At this point the husband
Strengthened himself iu his chair and look
ed toward his wife; she in turn threw a
magnetic glance at him; they both rose,
clasped hands, received the congratulations
OF the court, and in two minutes Mr.. and

ward Walnut Hill, at pace which aston.

BILL ARrs VIEWS ON EDUcATIoN.-
There's more in the boy than there ia in
the college. In these days of cheap books
any boy or girl can get an education if
they want it. but my observation is that
not more than one in ten want an unusua
quantity. If the family takes a good
newspaper and has Bible and few
books in the house and the children do an
honest days work they Il get along about
as well as the college boys in the long
run and do as much good in the world.
Congress has got more smart men than
any place. reckon. but if I was hunting
for honest nsn would cruise around out

to die for their country, l wouldn't go in

living an humble life and making no noise
in the world. and they are not surfeited
with education either.-AtldntG Csnstitu,

TURNED WHITE.-Victor Hugo, in Lies

man who, after undergoing a terrible
and coming off victorious.
found that, as a result of the mental and
moral strain, his hair had turned snow.
white. The Louisville Journal gives an
instance that occurred recently where the
hair OF young man turned iwhite in a
single night as a result of fright. His
name was Henry Richards; his place of
residence, Terre Haute. He was going
home one evening about dark, from visit
to friend. and was walking along the
railroad track. Some little distance from
town was very high trestlework over "a
creek, there being no planks placed across
it. People in crossing had to walk on the
ties. Richards was walking along at a
lively rate, and when he arrived at the
bridge he did not stop to think that train
coming in was then due, but being in a
hurry to get home he started to walk
across on tho cross-ties. He was nearly
half way acros. the bridge when the train

saw the train and commenced running,
but saw that this was useless. as the train
would certainly overtako him before he
could get Off the bridge. He now was in
a terrible plight. To jump of was certain
death. If he remained on the track, the
train would crush him to pieces. There
was no wood work beneath the bridge for
him to hang to, so he saw that his only
chance was to swing an q small lion rod
that passed under the cross-ties. No time
was to be lost, as the train was nearly on
the end Of the bridge So he swung him
self under the ties, and in few minutes
was hanging on for dear life. The engi

Electricity and Swarming Bees.

Among the many unexpected devel.
ments of electrical science is an applica.
ton to the hiving of bees when they
swarm, successfully tried by German
experimenters. 1t was thought that by
utilizing the electric force the bees
might be stupefied for the necessary pc
Rod of time without being injured, and
the result proved the correctness of the
idea. The first attempt was made upon
bees that had gathered upon trees, the
insects falling upon the ground in a
kind of trance, were admitted of their
being safely handled. The next stage
In the experiment was to capture the
the bees when they were about to swarm.
By introducing the ends of two connect
ing wires into fully occupied honey
comb, and turning on the current, the
bees were rendered inactive for about
thirty minutes, while no bad results ap-
peared to follow their awakening
