CURRENT NOTES.

The delusion of an otherwise sane
Chicago man was to believe that his cane
was possessed of a spirit. He talked to
it, never let it be out of his sight in walk
ing, and kept it by him when asleep.
Agricultural colleges don't draw well
as a rule. During twenty years the Wis
consin State University has had only two
students in its agricultural department
This year, however, there is boom, and
SIX students have entered.
A Minnesota mob did not lynch the
man whom they had intended so to pun
ish. He argued with them awhile, and
then gave them So to buy beer. They
were convinced that he was not so bad as
they had supposed him to be.
Scarlet fever is one of the most deadly
diseases in these days. During 1881
there were 1,964 fatal cases of it in New
York, and though two full months of the
present year have not passed, $40 cases
already mark the death roll in this dis
ease. ....-.....

In fortnight, petitions signed by 100,
900 names, chiefly from Utah and Idaho
are expected to arrive at Washington,
calling upon Congress to stop the crusade
against. Mormon polygamy. Such petit
tions, to have been most serviceable
ought to have been on hand several fort
nights ago; but perhaps even then they
would have been of little use.
The Methodist ministers Of Chicago
have been discussing senator Logan's
bill giving the United States revenue
from whisky to the public school fund,
and most of them oppose it. One speaker

The 557 Chinaman arriving in San
Francisco in one steamer had all been
vaccinated before leaving China, accord
consul at Hong Kong; but the quarantine
officers said that made no difference, as q
city ordinance required them to be vac
cinated after arrival. The immigrants
refusing to submit were barricaded on
the main deck and dragged out, one by
one, through a narrow passage, to be
operated on. Some fought desperately
and were badly hurt by the clubbing they
received.

on the increase. II is a habit which
once formed is as difficult to eradicate as
the drinking of odd glasses of sherry,
Latterly IL has spread with immense ra-
pidity among women. The .sfeminine d.
nance" which Sldonia dlsliked is one OF
the features of the epoch. The ladies'
clubs at the West End OF London, which
are the growth of the last few years, have
given an appreciable impulse to feminine
speculation, 1t would be a mistake to
suppose thatlady financiers are exclusive

heavily on their hands-swallow with
avidity the offered bait. Speculation OF
this kind. whether it fills the purse or

Philadelphia Times: ''There is some
point in shooting President, for by that
the United States can be turned upside
down and the occupant of every Office

for religious purposes, manifests at
least something intensely earnest

tainly, in any other country-have
met with such eagerness to get
Scriptures and good books. This
extends TO both clergy and laity.
When, on one occasion, my friend
who edited the Russian WorEman
thought of giving it up, some of the
priests sent their subscriptions
again, and implored that it might
be continued; and some of those in
terested in the religious societies at
work in the empire have told me
that, in spite of the obstacles put in
their way, they have far more OPP
portunities of usefulness than they
can use. l agree, therefore, with
those who look upon Russia as a
promising field for Christian effort"

SUPREME COURT.

The clerks of the supreme court
are busy preparing for the April
term. Upwards of six hundred
cases are docketed in the supreme
court, with several counties yet to
be heard from. Only about sixty
cases are docketed in the appellate
court, and this will enable the COM
missioners of appeals to give almost
exclusive attention to supreme court
cases. Washington county cases will
be placed upon the third assign
ment, instead of the second, as here

A MINUTES CHAT WITH A YOUNG
MAN-Observe that pale young fellow
crossing the street. You see good many
of that kind just now. Some say it is the
climate The truth is that the climate of
America. with fair chance, produces not
only the best complexion, but the best
health in the world.
Did you notice that thing he was carrying
in his mouth? Well, it is that meerschaum
which is doing the business for him. 1t is
busy with three millions of our men.
Let us study one Of these meerschaum
suckers. Pale, nervous, irritable, thin in
chest and stomach, weak in muscle, he is
fast losing his power of thought and appre.
citation. Let ms so near enough to smell of
him. Even the beast prey will not touch
the corpse of a soldier saturated with the
vile poison.
Chewing is the nastiest mode, snuffing
ruins the voice, but smoking, among those
who have time to be thorough, is most de-
structivc.
Young G.. graduated at Harvard Ono dc
voice Of the weed ever graduated with
brighter honors at that iustitution), and
soon after consulted his physician with ref
erence to his pale face, emaciation, indiges-
tion and low spirits He weighed but one
hundred and eight,
"Stop smoking" was the prescription
In four months he had increased twenty
eight pounds, had become healthy in skin,
his digestion all right, his spirits restored.
One or two millions of our young and
middle aged men are in similar condition,
and would be restored to health and spirits
by the same prescription. On the whole,
the cigar is worse thsn the pipe.-En.
