The teamster slid up and endeavored TO get

that he gasped half q dozen times before ~

Now, you keep away from me-" exclaimed
the minister, picking up his cane.

The colony of thrifty Swiss recently estab-

and happy as there was every reason to sup
pose it would be. It now comprises twenty
families, and several more are expected soon.
Each family brought from O., 600 to s5. GEO. and
now owns farm which, in comparison with
the scanty measures Of Switzerland. seems like
kingdom. The average size of the farms is
160 acres, and they already show the intelli-
gence and honest industry OF their owners.
The colonists call their settlement. upon which
they have expended about $50, 900, New Switz-

Selling Girls i'm sheets .

Up at Clear Lake, that center of summer nIea-
sure parties and Sabbath school associations in
Iowa, the churches became tired of the old
stereotyped plans of raising money, and a new
scheme was evolved from the inner conscious
ness Of some bright genius. The treasury of the
COngregatiOnalist church became rather bare
and so the young folks got together and deter.
mined to I'LL it even to overflow. After a long
discussion it was decided to bring about the de-
sired end by putting all the girls of the church
up at auction to be disposed of to the highest
bidder. The time came around, and every Young
man in that part of Iowa in or near Clear Lake
who had any money or could possibly borrow any
was promptly onhand, eager to bid to the full
est extent. But there were some of the girls
on whom itwOuld have been impossible to obtain
the bid of an old fashioned copper cent, while
there were others for whom the love-sick SWANS
would willingly have bid their last dollar and
in spirit of Artemus Ward, the last dollar of any
of their relatives. So to give all the bows an
equal chance, the girls were wrapped up in
sheets, SO as to be completely unrecognizable.
Each young man was positive that beneath the
snowy folds of the sheet he could discern the
outline Of the girl on whom he dotted and when
from fifteen to twenty Of the young fellows
singled out one particular sheeted object on
which to stake their fortunes, excitement ran
high, and money ran out Of pocket books like
water down a slanting roof.
After all the fair ones were disposed Of the
order was given to ''haul up the Sheets" and
then ensued an indescribabe scene of mingled
happiness and disappointment. Maidens who
had been purchased for a mere song. owing to a
lack of bidders, turned out to be the best look
ing girls in town, while beings whose sylph-like
appearance under sheet excited the greatest
admiration, and drew hard earned money from
unwilling pocketbooks, were found to be most
common place creatures indeed But all made
the best of it, and the disappointed ones bore
themselves bravely. Altogether the plan was A
great success; and as long as churches viii raise
money by lottery schemes, why not adopt this
method? 1t is harmless. and yet as productive
of as much good to the participants as any game
of chance we know Of 1t gives the homely girls
and bashful boys an equal chance with their re-
spective Oppostes, besides resulting i'm a grand
financial success, and We look Tor It's general
adoption. To be sure, it is asking good deal
of modest, womanly, refined girls But then
church sociables are always doing thati-Des

Immediately flooded with about $4,000 OF the
counterfeit notes, has but grain of truth. About
the time mentioned Eli LangdOn and his son Ned
Langdon were employed in the bureau Of en-
craving and printing. A noted New York
cOunterfeiter, named Hank Holmes, or Hall,
induced them to take into the bureau
lead plates, concealed about their persons, and
to take advantage OF any opportunity to make an
impression OF whatever plates they happened to
be at work upon. Edward LangdOn had Lead
plate concealed in his bosom. At lunch time
without attracting the attention of any one he
succeeded in taking the Impression OF the back of
a 500 note upon which he was working. The
same day his father succeeded in taking the Inn

Langdon delivered his plate to Holiness alias Hall,
who had back plate taken from it, and had a

SHENANDOAH, Pa, May 3O-The verdict of the

second breast, inside OF the old slope worked by
the Mulhalls, and was brought down on Martin
Mulhall's lamp by fall that occurred
the night before, which blocked the heading
leading to counter gangway, which
was working, or 'creeping." and generating
the section should have been withdrawn until the
danger was removed They are also OF the Opin-
ion that there was a great lack Of discrimination
in selecting men to work in places evolving gas
and want OF discipline In not enforcing the
orders of the fire boss.
