What Became of Lige.

II raised seven boys said an Arkan-
saw man, 'sand all but one was killed.
Tom. was killed by his uncle, Ned was
stabbed by Ike, Ike was horned to death
by a COW, Jake was bowed up. Sam was
killed by a hog, and Nat was flung by a
horse and killed.
"What was your other sons name ?"
"Lige, and he vas as good a boy as
ever lived, and smart! That boy could
write his name anywhar, and he could
read this big show printing
Lige?"
Eyes" said the old man, with a sor-
rowful shake of the head.
"And what became Of Lige?o
why, sir, the governor took a foolish
notion and wouldn't pardon him, and
he was hung.-Arkaaasau Iraueley.

THE MYSTERY OF PRINTING.
Curious Experiences of Electricity in a
Press Room.

We looked into the press room of one
of Boston's large printing establish
ments this week, writes a correspondent
of a trade journal. The foreman was
furious and the proprietor sorroWful.
FRACTIONAL electricity in the printed
sheets Of paper as they left the presses
was the immediate cause of their trouble.
It is an interesting and not uncommon
phenomenon, and is not easily explained
nor easily controlled. It has puzzled
Profs. Bell and Wadman and the best
electricians we have about here. The
packing upon the press cylinder seems
to act as an inductor, and the paper
leaves the press thoroughly electrified.
We watched a press running OFT l7OO per
hour. Suddenly the printed sheet chung
about the cylinder as though pasted
upon it, and had to be torn OF III strips.
Again we lifted a few freshly printed
leaves and they ripped and cracked like
the stitches in an old coat. Then we
saw a lot of cardboard being printed.
The sheets stuck together as solid as a
brick and could not be separated until
the electricity had partly passed off. A
piece OF printers brass rule placed IN
this pile of cardboard, with an end pro-
jecting, threw off sparks when ap-
preached within an inch by another
piece of rule. Two sheets sucked to-
gether when held fourteen inches apaIt.
Wet rags placed around the delivery
table and led into a bucket of water
charged the water with electricity in
forty minutes, SO that a positive shock
was felt upon a hand being immersed in
the pail. Electrical currents were felt
in the hands and arms upon handling a
pile of paper eight minutes after being
printed. These are only a few Of many
curious experiences. The bother to the
printer is a considerable one It entails
inconvenience and a serious loss. Valu-
able work is frequently spoiled by the
electricity packing the leaves SO closely
as to offset the fresh ink. Then the
presses have to be slow speeded, with
frequent stoppages. Nothing SO democrat
ICES the pressman as this mystery of
FRACTIONAL electricity when under full
Roadway. The theories for controlling
it don't seem to work when applied,
worth a cent.-Erchnnge.

There are no indications of Virgins
great storm which was to commence on
the 9th. Possibly the fact that the Mon
tana legislature adjourned on the 8th has
until the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in 1884, and then the democratic
party Of Montana will think a cyclone
has struck them.

S1lkworms in a Kansas Parlor.

"Would you like to look into my par
lor, sir?!" OF course we said yes. Our
lady hostess had just favored us with a
delightful dinner, which after our long
ride across the prairies, was indeed a
matter to be grateful for. She opened
the door; and we looked into the room,
expecting to see the usual stuffed hair
cloth, the bric-a-brac, the parlor organ,
the stereopticon, the photograph album,
and the regulation parlor ornaments. If
there is one thing more than another in
which American ladies show a lack of
originality, it is in their parlors. All
are after one model; and if eve any
where you chance to find n differing
from the standard, it is from the shape
of the house, or some other circumstance
over which the lady herself had no con-
troll, and which you are snre to find her
lamenting from a full heart.
Judge of our surprise then, to see, in
an mlcarpeted room, three long tables
covered with fresh green leaves, which
somehow seemed all in motion. Even
the window seats, and the chairs were
laden with green leaves and sprays; and
as to- the floor 1t was 4coveredY With

But something still more odd-for a
parlor-had arrested our attention. 1t
was a great, green worm, somewhat like
a maple worm, On the table. It lay
among the green leaves, and was feeding
on them. There were scores, hundreds,

| what caused the motion-these rayenous
worms feeding or the leaves.

Deep snow and hard ice are making
trouble on the Vermont railroads. There
is an occasional amusing incident con
nected with the blockade. The ether
night a freight train broke apart on a
curve The first section had run quite
distance before the accident was dis
covered. Then it backed up coupled on
the missing section, and went on to it's
destination. But on looking over his
way bills the conductor found that one
car was missing from the centre of the
train, and its disappearance was a mys-
terry. Gong back, he found it down a
bank. A still more singular accident
occurred to a passenger train. It had
halted as usual at a little station during
the night, but no engine was to be found
in the morning. The tender was there
all right, and as it proved had piloted
the train for a long distance on a down
grade, the engine having jumped the
track without derailing the rest of the
train IL checking its speed. Neither
the engineer nor fireman vas Injured.

THE SHOOTING Of UHL,
4 Full Report o. this Attempt 1t
Murder.

Murder.
Ketchum Keyvtone, 2S,h.]
According to current reports, Biles
better known hereabouts rs Parker
had given Mr.. Uhl pair of boots for
repairs, and having been DELAYED in
getting them, went to hunt up the latter
Sunday evening. He found Mr.. Uhl
ata card table in I'd. Brase's saloon c.,
Lower Main street, and requested him
to 60 and get the boots. Uhl replied
that ne would upon finishing the game,
when Parker became indignant and
gong to the outside, used harsh Ian.
guaye and invited the other to the
street. Mr.. Uhl is an old gentleman.
and did not care to have any violence
with Parker, SO he refused to leave
tho bar room till Parker cooled down
and ceased his threats. They then
walked up street together, and upon
passing Perkns's saloon it is reported
that Parker fell back, ente red and pro.
cured his pistol. He then followed
Uhl to the shop and trouble arose
through some dispute over the boots.
and the price asked for repairs. There
was difference Of rs cents, and upon
this it seems Parker INDUCED in atu,.
i've language while Uhl was willing to
make the small sacrifice and save
trouble. Several persons who stood
in full view report that Parker told Chi
to "go heel HIMSELF" and Uhl replied
that che had never been compelled to
heel himself yet for twenty-five cents,
and didn't think he would begin
then" At this point he observed that
Parker was much angered, and sought
to push him aside that he MIGHT
enter and close the house. His ad.
versary then drew pistol, and Uhl,
to save himself, Immediately jumped
forward, grasping the former by the
side, while Parker held his head down
with one hand, and placing the pistol
in his face with the other, fred three
consecutive shots. The first was
thrown up by Uhl, and escaped his
head carrying off the crown of his
hat. OF the two others fired one
struck the upper lip left Of the me.
dian line, SCATTERING the superior max.
'lary in the nasal region, and passing
upward to the right shattered the
nasal bones, and came out at the in.
"er angle OF the eye; the other struck
1T the wing Of the nose on the RIGHT ,
side, and passing upward and to the
right struck and shattered the molar
bone and glanced out. The shots
caused great laceration of tho right
cheek and nose. The face was badly !
burned. After the third shot Uhl. !
badly used up, broke and ran for the Q
door. |" tearing away he caused t
Parker to drop his pistol, which could y
not be regained until the door was c
