years ago the students in the college
turned the bell upside down one night
and filled it with mixture of wet
plaster of Paris and nails. The mass
solicited, and, as the professors decided
not to have the bell cleaned out, the
students were obliged to attend chapel
and recitations without the warming
notes of the bell. This was hardship
the students had not thought of, and
many of them received so many marks
for absence that they would gladly
have paid to have the bell restored

THE FIRE CRACKER FLEND.

Go tie your crackers on your whip,
Put crackers in your mouth,
Crack dreary jokes with tongue and lip,
And peanuts from the South.
But never, till the crack of doom
Times casket has careened,
Join in the horrid fuss and fume,
OF the fire-cracker fiend.
Ny boys, they're dangerous and low;
All clash and bang and clatter.
You walk the streets and off they go,
Ting spingle bangle-spatter.
Is this the way to celebrate
Your country's natal day?
Here, let me take these foolish things
and throw them all away
And think you, could the heroes watch
Your paper-mimic cunning
There comes dog? Who's got match?
Whish-bang! o, see him running?
Think you, if they could hear the noise
Their heads would rest the prouderf-
If you'll put 'em under a kettle, boys,

A Very Bashful Husband.

The following incident in the early
married life of lawyer of village in
New York State, who is as well known
for excessive bashfulness as he is for
eccentricity and good nature, is told in
the Boston Herald: So bashful was he
that, after bringing his ladylike and ac-
complished bride from the northern
part of the country, instead of intro
ducing her to his acquaintances, after
the manner of proud young husbands
of the ordinary stamp, he actually
almost hid himself and her from his
most intimate friends. To get him to
go to church even was task that his
wife, mother and sisters found so
extremely difficult that they could
only succeed by declaring that he
was ashamed of his bride. On
one occasion a lecture was to be
given which his wife particular
" desired to attend. Our friend,
in response to her request for escort,
told his wife that he knew she wouldn' t
like the lecture, and for his part he
should enjoy staying at home with her
much better. She persisted and he ex-
hausted every argument TO prove that
she would not find the lecture enjoyable.
At last the true reason of her husband s
dissemination to go out flashed over the
wife's mind, and she said: "Well, my
dear, you can never convince me that |
don't know but we had better stay at
home; if you should be seen out with
me too much at night it might create a
scandal" They went to the lecture.

The Northern Pacific.

Washington, November 13.-Com-
plants have reached the postoffice de-
partment that the mails on the North
ern Pacific road are not properly worked
by the postal clerks, and instead of be-
ing distributed at the various points
along the route are carried through to
Portland and stacked up there. Super
intendent Thompson says this state of
affairs was brought about by a combi-
nation Of the postal clerks, who pur-
posely neglect the work in order to
compel the putting on of a double force,
which, he maintains, is already sufi-
cient to distribute the mails properly.
However this may be, Postmaster Gen
eral Gresham has taken the matter in
hand, and tonight assigned Assistant
Superintendent Jameson to the duty of
going over the whole line of the road
from st. Paul to Portland and making
a thorough examination of the postal
service. If he finds the force INSULT
cient to properly work the mails 1t will
be increased. If the present employees
are inefficient they will be replaced by
better men. In short, whatever is
needed to make the force prompt and
efficient along the line will be supplied
at once and all cause of complaint re-
moved.

Shenandoah, Pa, November 13.-
The disastrous FIRE is still burning. but
is entirely under control, and relief is
arriving. The homeless reople have
been taken into the families Of those
more fortunate. Loss. $500, 900; insur-
ance, a little over $780, 00. Temporary
buildings are being erected. The
weather is bitter cold, and a strong
northwest gale is blowing. The desti-
tute families are being aided as much
as possible, but the town is in a terrible
state Of excitement and little can be
accomplished. Every arriving train
brings people from the surrounding
country, and the town is so filed with
saloons that there is no trouble to get
drink. The rough element, taking adj
vantage of the accident, have become
drunk and d%isorderly, causing much
trouble to those who have the safety of
the city at heart. The public schools
were opened to receive the homeless,
and were greatly crowded, but a ma
jority were unable to procure shelter,
and some Of these could be seen gath
cred around the ruins of their homes
bemoaning their sad lot. The sight of
these poor people and that of the roughs
who have invaded the town from all
directions is in great contrast. The
latter were continually hindering the
efforts of the fremen, who, notwith-
standing, are working bravely. The
streets are full of people carrying their
goods to places Of safety. The build
ings, with the exception of two or three,
were all frame, and constructed for the
most part in a very loose manner
The streets are crowded with people
viewing the ruins, The burned district
covers an area of five acres. The ruins
are smouldering and an unhealthy odor
issues from where the butcher shops
were situated. Where the Methodist
Episcopal and Presbyterian churches
stood the bare cellars are only visible.
Rebuilding has begun. The majority
Of the business houses had no insurance
and therefore lose everything. Mrs.
Philip Wolf, who was rescued from the
burning buildings by a fireman, died
from fright. Her husband lost all his
property. George Heaton, who had his
legs cut off, died this morning. George
Whitaker, aged 90, had a leg broken
while removing articles from the burn
ing ruins. Patrick Delaney lost his
store and furniture. Jerry O'Neil, a
brave fireman, received serious injuries
this morning. Two hundred houses
were destroyed and 500 families are
homeless. Loss, $3.50, 900. The third
brigade, of Pottsville, gave a benefit
concert. Contributions are coming in
fast from all sections.
SO far the treasurer of the relief COM
mittee has received 80, 900 and several
car loads of provisions. Clothes and
blankets are most needed.

and contractors. The flaws in the iron
are not visible and were only revealed
when the columns were broken.
