Idle Chatter.
From the Chicago News

A strange old gentleman who seems to
be cracked on the subject OF orthog-
raphy, is going about Chicag9 furnish
ing entertainment and some instruction
to whomever will listen to him. Last
evening he was harnanguing a small
crodd in Lake Front Park on his favorite
theme Said he: " More than half your
lives is wasted in idle chatter. that means
nothing and teaches less. You meet
friend and say good morning. lie says
good-morning TO you, and then you say
1t Is pleasant morning. He says 1t is
very pleasant; pleasanter than it was
yesterday when it rained. OF course
you acquiesce, and probably add that
you hopeit will bepleasanter tomorrow.
There you stand like two geese squawk-
ing about something that isn't worth
word, and never teaches anybody any
thing. Now, if you would only study
your pronouncipg dictionaries tonight
and learn something you might be able
to do your friends some good when you
meet them tomorrow.
The old man then gave the boys some
examples of common errors IN pronun-
citation, aud the reporter turned away
with fresh resolution. Entering the
office he met the exchange editor on the
stairs with:
"The word possess has no hard
sound of in it.
Well" said the man of shears,
"what of it?"
"And new and blue rhyme with
few ."
"Weu, don't you suppose 1 know
that Won ninnyo
The commercial editor was coming
from the library.
"Dog is not dawg; it rhymes with
frog"
Who in tunket said it didn't?" and
the man of the stock board ran down
stairs.
The funny man was coming out of
the editors room. Said the reporter to
him:
1.-The last G in 'demagogy' is soft"
Good morning, MIR. G, remarked
the Joker as he darted out.
The editor chief was the last resort.
The reporter entered his room.
''Squalor' is not 'squawler,' it is
pronounced with the long sound of a.
And slough is not pronounced to rhyme
with now Duty is not 'dooty,' bat
rhymes with beauty aud the accent
IN microscopy is on the 'crosc,'
"Say, young man., said the editor,
"this little piece of paper will get some
money for you In the counting ROOM
You take that money and go for long,
| long vacation-an enduring, permanent
vacation. If you tell an Ogden Avenue
car conductor TO let you off at some
| suitable place, the car will be stopped

Hospital.
As the reporter went out he stopped
| to say:

A Furious Fanatic.


A Buffalo telegram to the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat says: The eastern part
of Erie, Pa, Is intensely excited over
the blood curdling freaks of'a man crazed
by religion. Sylvester Knott, a well-to-
DO farmer, living in comparatively iso-
lated spot on the bank of Lake Erie, is
the fanatic whose deeds are the theme of
public conversation. Some months ago
he attended a meeting of the Salvation
Army, at Franklin, where the first seeds
of insanity were sown. Since then his
brain has by degrees grown more and
more infsmed, and now his frenzy knows
no check. For two weeks past he has
wandered up and down the lake shore,
regardless of sunshine or storm, declaim-
ing on salvation schemes, picturing the
horrors of judgment day, and calling
upon sinners to worship God or be eter-
nally lost. Yesterday morning heplanted
a large cross in the woods upon which
to nail his 8-year-old boy, believing the
10y would be tormented In hell-fire for
ever unless he died the death of man
kinds Redeemer. With strength we'll
nigh superhuman Knott held the lad
firmly while driving large nail through
the little fellows hand, unheeding his
piteous pleas for mercy. The dreadful
work was interrupted by some wood
cutters who happened to be passing.
Leaving his son hanging, the maniac
fled, first striking down one of the res
cuers with hammer, then leaping into
the lake. A search for his hiding place
proved fruitless. and it was thought he
nad been doowned, but such was not the
case. Before midnight the crazy fend
returned, smashed the door of his house,
and knocked Mrs Knott insensible at a
single blow. Entering a chamber where
his only daughter, Minnie, beautiful
girl of II, lay sleeping, he bound her
hand and foot and carried her to a lonely
place in the forest, where hundreds of
cords of wood were piled. An altar was
quickly built, and upon it the madman
secured his child.
Given as Abraham did with Isaac,
will | offer you as burnt offering unto
the Lord" chanted the mailman, set
ting the funeral pyre on fire. The climb
ing flames soon licked the exposed limbs
Of the girl, whose shrieks of agony
and prayers for a more merciful death
were music to the madman's ear. He
ImplOred the Almighty to accept the sac
rlfice as an atonement for the sinful
deeds committed 10y him in years long
gone, and added fresh fuel to the altar.
Bu help arrived in time to prevent the
of the fearful design.
Two young men crossing the woods on
the,r way home from party saw a bright
ligl { and heard the young Iady's
scr ans. One felled the demented sire
WI le MS companion scattered the blaz-
Ing fagots and lifted the almost nude
ma den from her fiery bed, when the
corjs that fettered her limbs were trans
ferred to those of the unconscious
maniac. Miss Knott is painfully burned
about the lower extremities, and there
are large blisters on her shoulders, arms
and sides. So awful was her experience
that the doors of an asylum may open
10 the daughter as well as the father.
She raves night and day, and it is feared
her reason is permanently dethroned.

Mexican Markets,

Monterey Cor. Springfield Republican,
The markets are among the most pic
turesque sights in Mexico. Not only
are the tropical fruits and vegetables
and national wares and commodities
strange to uR, but the habitants are
stranger still. The seller, whether man
or woman, sits upon the ground, with
his wares ranged in little piles upon a
blanket or piece of canvas before him.
If man, he is silent and tacIturD, but
never forgetting to cheat you out of a
cent or two in "change," and wears a
wide old sombrero pulled down over his
shaggy brows, sandals laced with leath-
ern thongs upon his dusty feet, and
huge bright -hued zarapa (rug) wrapped
closely about his shoulders, however hot
the day. If woman, she is garrulous
and coquettish, her long, black, matted
locks entirely uncovered, a loose chemise
not in the least Disgusting her figure to
the waist, and bare, brown legs protrud-
ing from her scanty red petticoat. In
every market place is always a fountain,
or great stone we'll and to it come Egypt
ian figrres-boys with long poles over
their shoulders and pals balanced from
either end, and barefooted women IN
short, bright petticoats, IN picturesque
attitudes-one hand upon the hip and
the great water-lar firmly upon the
shoulder. In the far east, centuries ago.
Rebecca carried just such pottery, in
similar fashion, when Jacob saw her al

Personal Safety in Mexicn.

There Is much exaggerated talk about

writes Cleveland Herald correspond

ing come carefully armed and his cour-
age screwed up to the sticking point to
find that there is really no occasion.
Many blood-curdling reports Of high
way robbe1ies and assassin alton doubt
less originate in the desire of certain
foreigners to lend additional interest to
the story of their adventures. One GEL
dom hears such morningreports in Mex
leo as we frequently read in the Herald
with our coffee, at home" Man Killed
in the Fifth Ward Last Night" Mys-
teriously Murdered in the Suburbs"
etc.-and such thing as having guards
in a railroad train is not thought of
here, as was necessary on one Of our
western railways not long since. True,
in sparsely settled portions, far from
civilization, there is some danger, but
less than on our own frontier, for a
Mexican is too lazy even to steal, except
to satisfy his hunger. If man or We
man goes about the country making an
| ostentatious display of money or jewels,
he or she deserves to be robbed, every
time; bat here the robbers are more

OId-Time Mail Facilities.
rFrnm the PhiladeInhia Timesl


In view Of the more frequent mails
and the cheaper postage which we are
about to have, participants in these
blessings will read with interest the an
nouncement by Comptroller Frankling,
Philadelphia, February II, 1855, that
f'the New England mail henceforth go
once a week, the year round, whereby
correspondence may be carried and an
swers obtained to letters between Phil
adelphia and Boston in three weeks,
which used In the winter to be six
weeks.
Philadelphians and New Workers will
especially appreciate their present mail
facilities when they read Comptroller
rankings notice that the mail between
the two cities would henceforth be twice
a week. 1t is believed that this was the
first and in some respects the most
notable case of expedition On record.
1t was a Star-route contract, but no

A Degree q Intimacy.

FROM Tue Cll clIuau Traveller.
Mrs. Richesse, " nose money enables
her to live IN a swell suburban neighbor
hood, but does not give her the entree
to the best society, was away for the
summer, and met several persons who
knew all the best people. One day a
lady said to Mrs. r.:
Mrs. Richesse, do you know the
Browns ?"
"They are our next-door neighbors.
"Indeedl Then you know them init
mately?"
"Well, no, not exactly. Our families
can hardly be said to be very intimate
and Mrs. b. has never called, but their
coachman is engaged to our hired girl.
and the degree OF intimacy existing is
sufficient to permit his coming over to
our house seven nights in the week and
wearing all the paint off the back steps.

after the wedding and thank us for ouf
assistance"

The railroad company pocketed the de-

those who had purchased their tickets

WASHINGTON, September 13.-Civil
Service Commissioner Gregory is much
pleased at the news that when the naval
officer at Philadelphia wished to pro-
mote two laborers to 5000 clerkships he
was informed by the treasury depart
ment that he must fill the clerkships
from the eligible list of the civil service
examination, and that Iaborers must get
on that list before they could get
clerkship. This is in accordance with
the understanding reached in conversa-
ton between Mr.. Gregory and Secretary
Folger, and the news from Philadelphia
convinces him that this arrangement has
become the policy OF the government.
In regard to the promotions, DR.. Greg
ory says there is no difference of opinion
between the commissioners and the
heads Of departments. All agree that
promotions are to be made on examlna
ton as soon as the rules therefor have
been understood and they soon will be.

been raised by outsiders and not by Of
