Singular Isn'tIt.

From the Smyrna Times.
So tho tax on matches, bank checks,

what such stump speakers as Mr.. Biggs

A Clint Peaches,

There was a glut of peaches in the
New York markets yesterday, the
peach train which arrived in that city
in the morning consisting of 50 cars,
averlng 500 baskets each. The Mary
land and Delaware peaches are said to
be finer than those from New Jersey,
but they sold for less yesterday, owing
to the fact that they reached New York
at later hour. Several dealers tele-
graphed to the growers not to send toe
many by the next train, unless they
were willing to do so at a loss.

A Nocturnal Ramble and What
Came of It.

Some genius-we suspect him to be-
long to the jOvial order of humanity
has said "The day to drone and dream,
the night to learn and ramble." We
do not propose to dispute this wOrthy's
view of the matter, but present here
with the experience of a Philadelphia
journalist, Mr.. William III. CunningtOn,
l712 North Twentieth street, one of
whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers
to. beginning his narration rather pc
culiarly, however 81 am not rheu
matte, and have been troubled very lit
tie with bodily pains. Last Tuesday
morning experienced very annoying
stiffness of the neck, which grew worse
as the day wore on. Toward evening
it became very severe, and could
scarcely turn my head in any direction.
Arriving home at tea time, it was with
difficulty that 1 could eat my meal. My
wife wanted to rub my neck with st.
Jacobs Oil, but 1 refused, saying l
thought the affection would soon pass
away. Tea over, against the remOn-
strances of my family, 1 left home to
ramble toward the new Chestnut street
Opera House, about two and a half
miles from my residence. started in
the midst of heavy snow storm, and
remained at the theatre until the close
of the performance, although l could
feel my neck getting worse and becom-
ing very painful. Leaving the play,
the trouble came to reach home. The
storm continued the car in which l
was became blocked in nearly every
square, cold current of air swept
through the car, and did not reach my
home until toward 2 A. NJ, by which
time my neck had become absolutely
rigid. Then 1 consented to the use of
st. Jacobs Oil. which nay wife applied
two or three times before 1 arose. 7
continued its use that day, and by eve
ming 1 was free from pain, and the next
morning amused myself by twisting
my neck in any direction that suited
me, and not vestige of stiffness re-
manned" -BostOn Herald.

How Long we are to Live.

1t is not every one who asks him
self this question, because strangely
enough, it is the belief If many per-
sons that their lives will be excep.
tionally lengthy. However, life in.
surance companies are aware of the
credulous weakness of those whose
lives they assure, and have therefore
compiled numerous tables of expec.
fancy of life for their own guidance,
which are carefully referred to be-
fore policy is granted. The follow
ing is one of these we'll authenticated
tables in use among London assur-
ance companies, showing the ex-
pectancy of life at various ages. In
the first column we have the present
ages Of persons of average health; and
in the second column we are enabled
to peep, as it were, behind the scenes
of an assurance Office, and gather from
its table the number of years it will
give us to live. This table has been
the result of careful calculation, and
seldom proves misleading. Of course,
sudden and premature deaths, as we'll
as lives unusually extended, occa-
sionally occur; but this is table OF
average expectancy of life of an or
binary man or woman:
