YANKEE WIT THAT PAID A BOARD BILL.

A Yankee named Mather who had been for twelve years in an insurance office, was in Cincinnati, out of work, and living on ten cents day. He had a room with certain Mrs. Sterne. and as his bill there was assuming respectable proportions, and he had no immediate prospects of being able to iquidate, he decided to ''skip by the light of the moon." That very day his landlady inquired, ''Aren't you law yer, Mr. Mather?" Quick as thought he responded, "Yes." "Wen," said Mrs. Sterne, 'I want to get your advice. My husband has left me and wants to get hold of the policy of insurance on his life, which have. Gan he do so and sell it back to the company ?" Mr. Mather examined the policy, and feeling doubtful on one point told her he would advise her the fol- lowing morning. He repaired at once to handed way gained the information he de- siced, and the following day gave his final decision to Mrs. Sterne. He had then ac- cumulated few dollars and asked his land lady the amount of his bill.
 "Why you are not going are you? I hoped you would board out your bill against me for your advice" '"That's so, we lawyers can't advise for nothing. But must go today. How much is your bill ?' ''Twelve dollars,' said she. "Well, you are h hard working little woman, and, if you'll give me $8 I'll call our accounts square, though would charge anybody else $5O" Mrs. Sterne handed over the money with many expressions of appreci- ation, and her guest departed-not penni- less and owing for his lodgings, but free of debt, and having $S in his pocket. The best part of the story is that the money thus obtained gave him start, from which he quickly rose to position of affiuence, and almost his first act after becoming es- abolished in business yielding an income of $50, ,000 a year, was to hunt up Mrs. Sterne and send her check for $10,0O0, with the story have here told. Of course the names given are not the real ones, but this sharp Yankee is now prominent bus mess man in large New England city; and the story I have related heard from his own hps.-BostOn Times.

A YoUNG WHE's GREATEST TRIAL.-The greatest trial of young wife's life is the birth of child, which is usually attended with many hours of hard labor and intense pain.
 PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH, Q new book, by Dr. J.
 H. Dye, one of New York's most eminent physicians, however, shows that pain is not necessary in childbirth. but results from causes easily understood and overcome. It proves conclusively that any woman may be- come mother without experiencing any pain whatever. It also tells how to overcome and prevent morning sickness, swelled limbs, ner- vousness, pain in back, and all the unpleasant sensations attending pregnancy. It answers hundreds of delicate questions about women and their peculiar troubles. Physicians high ly recommend it, and say it will do all that is claimed for it.

As A RESULT of careless legislation"
at the last session Of Congress, the
salaries of $1,000 pOstmasters, Of the
fourth class, must be readjusted-a
polite euphemism for raised-from the
4th of March. These officials will re-
Ceive an increase of from S to 10 per
cent. in their salaries, and the conSe-
quence will be large deficiency in the
appropriation for this purpose. There
is much method in this "carelessness."
BY no oversight or mistake is q salary
ever reduced or perquisite diminished.
The Assistant Postmaster General eSti-
mates that the deficiency caused by the
reduction in letter postage will not be
over S3,OOO,OOO, and he does not think
it fair that the shortage occasioned by
the trick to raise postmasters' salaries
should be charged to this account. 1t
was a very poor time to increase the
salary list at the Inauguration of cheaper
postage.

WORK has been recommended on the
Washington Monument at the national
capital. 1t is now $40 feet high. When
completed it will have a height of 500
feet of stone and fifty-five feet of glass,
and will, it is thought, exceed in height
the highest structure ever reared by the
hand of man. The Strasburg cathedral
towers to the height of i6S feet, and st.
Peters at Rome AS; the spire Of the
cathedral of Cologne rises to 5ll feet,
and the highest of the pyramids was
but 479 feet high when it was first
built. Hence it appears that when, as
is expected, the Washington Monu-
ment is completed, in December, 1885,
its topmOst point will he some forty
four feet higher than any other artiti.
cial elevation.

IN twenty-eight American cities hav-
ing a population in the aggregate of
5,273, 63l, there were 2,+53 deaths for
the third week in April, representing
an annual death rate of a trifle more
than "a per thousand of population. In
North Atlantic cities the average wa
23.7 per 1000; in cities of the Middle
States, 25.2; i'm the Lake cities, 22.S; in
river cities, 2O.3; in Southern cities, 300
for white and S6.7 for colored poRula-
ton. Consumption caused l4.4 per
cent. of all the deaths, and pneumonia
II per cent. One Of the curious things
is the fact that in the North Atlantic
cities % ner cent. Of the deaths were of
children under five years old, while in
the Lake cities IS per cent. were of this

THE JEwEL-REPUBLIC CONSIST.
ENJOY.


Nearly all of the Republican papers
of the State, and especially those pub
lished in the Third District, in the
numbers recently issued, contain wood
cuts of Judge BROWN, the Republican
candidate for Congress, together with a
sketch Of his life. The picture is not
very remarkable for anything; for the
Judge, no matter what his failings may
be, is not a handsome man. The
sketch of his life is remarkable, on ac-
count ofthe following language, which
is contained therein:
He was also prominently inssrum entail
in passing the bill for preserving to the
School Fund of the counties, their share
Of the proceeds of the forfeited lands,
which for years has been paid into the
State treasury, to the great injury and i'm
pOyerishment Of the people of the poor
counties in which these lands lay, and
whose local school taxes were double, and
sometimes nearly treble, the amount paid
by the people Of the richer counties.
We shall have no quarrel with Judge
BROWN on account of his having been
instrumental in securing the legislation
referred to, and have quoted the fore
going mainly to show how radically
inconsistent the Radical party of West
Virginia is.
The Republican party, after having
for years condemned the Democratic
party for having used for State purposes
a part of the School Fund, upon which
the interest has been paid, and which is
all that could have been done with the
money, now flop over and with great
flourish of trumpets tell the people
that Judge BROWN ought to be
elected to Congress because he was in
strumentsl in the passags of an act
which takes away from the irreducible
school fund at least two-thirds of the
amount of its annual receipts, and re-
duces the principal so low that it will
hereafter be out of order for the Repub-
licans to charge the Democratic party
with stealing the interest, as there will
lie nothing to calculate interest on. It's
awful how the money that belongs to
the dear children, who are yet to be
born, is being stolen.
