ELECTRICITY AND EARS.
No Bad Effect Noticed by Operators

From the New York sun.

1t is gravely affirmed in floating Eara-
graphs that person in Troy, having had
to use telephone great deal during
eighteen months, found to his dismay
that his left ear, which he constantly APP
piled to that instrument, had grown to
three times the size of his right car. and
that it still continued growing.
Mr.. w. H. Ecfert, General Superin-
tendant of the Metropolitan Telephone
and Telegraph Company, said, when
asked what he knew about the effect of
electricity on the ears well, never
heard of any such preposterous thing as
the statement in that paragraph. ] have
heard it said that the use of the telephone
was injurious TO the hearing but from

been anything of the sort. The severest

1t was the last night of the Madden
engagement. The Boyd Opera House
was filling rapidly. A trio of young had
just assembled to the of the marble stair
way and were approaching the flight
which leads to the entrance. when
young lady, richly attired and accompan-
led by matronly lady exclaimed,
There he is, mammal The three young
gentlemen turned. AS they did so the
elderly lady approached, and, addressing
one OF them, requested him
to step with her to the reception room.
Within the room the matronly lady said:
"Mr. Nolan, | am delighted to meet you,
and desire to cancel debt of gratitude
for which | have long been in arrears.
My daughter tells me it was you who
saved her life some years since in the
mountains of California. She thought
she recognized you at the hotel to-day,
and now she is positive you are the man,
indeed. If you will kindly accept this
little souvenir of my appreciation of
your exceeding heroism you will place
me under even more heartfelt gratitude"
Mr.. II w Nolan is not bashful man,
because he is a lawyer and a Chicagoan.
Nor is his modesty of that Omahan nature
which would prevent him from wearing
the beautiful solitaire diamond which he
feelingIy accepted on this occasion. If
the gentleman at all faltered it was be
cause of the languishing effect the young
lady's grateful yet modest glances had
upon him, presumably because of the
proprietary right exercised over them BY
gentleman present who was then in
troduced as the young ladys husband
The scene was short one, and upon its
conclusion all adjourned to their respect
i've seats in the auditorium.
Seven years ago Mr.. Nolan was pros
pecting in the mountains. He was climb
ing circuitous road to a mining camp
when a runaway horse to which chung
frightened and powerless
lady rider, and which had run away from
a equestriennes and their escorts, came
galloping rapidly toward him. At a
bend in the road both rider and animal
would have been dashed to destruction, a
thousand feet below. At the risk of his
life, he reached the bride of the horse
as it was flying past him, and in short
time, brought the animal to his knees.
Both horse and rider were saved. The
party and escorts soon came up and bore
their member home. Mr.. Nolan had
not time nor inclination TO accompany
them and pose as rescuer. and consequen-
thy continued his journnV. He soon
staked beyond the divide, and never
heard whom he had rescued. After years
of absence and separation, all the parties
met here as transients as above related.

Preaching and Music.

1t is said that certain dull preachers OF
Rochester, N. Y, are anxious because a
good many sinners attend their churches,
not to hear sermons and get religion. but
to hear the music and be entertained.
There is but one cure for that sort of
difficulty. and that is to make the pulpit
more interesting than the choir When
people 60 to church, not to hear the ser
but to enjoy the music, it argues that
there is more human and divine ministry
from the choir than from the sermon;
that, in a word the organist and singers
are smarter than the parson. The thing
for such anxious parsons to do is not to
scold the sinners or the singers, but 10
overhaul themselves. Think of Paul
worrying as to whether people came to
his meetings with right motives, as they
are called. The thing for the true preach
er to do is to create or inspire right mot
ives in his audience, no matter what pro
mpted the people to come. Let the
Rochester preachers wake up on their
own account, and sinners will hear them
gladly.

John Ploughman's Talk.

Self is always at home.
Soft words scald not the mouth.
Sunday is the summer of the week.
One tale is good until another is told.
Care makes a man old before his time.
Mind the corner where life's road turns.
Christ saves sinners from being sinners.
Don't ask great plaster for n small
sore.
If you SOW thorns, you will not reap
roses
Down with the nests, and the rocks
will go.
Good stuff is often twisted into queer
shapes.
Don't spare the butcher and fee the
doctor
Have no friends you dare not bring
home
When prayers are strongest. mercies
are nearest.
One mans fault should be another
mans lesson.
The goodness OF news half lies in the
hearers ears.
Flowers smell sweet whether men are
near or not

OF Mr. ridden and the opponent OF faEl-
many. Probably no man in the great
crowd OF visitors who filled the city then
attrscted as much attention on the
streets as Mr. Morrissey.
On one occasion during his stay Mr..
Beck, having kept very late hours, rose
late in TIE morning, and found himself
quite untitled for the days routine. so
he went into a room in the rear of 81 sa-
loon on the southeast corner of Fourth

Portable looking sofa stretched himself
out for a rest, which afterward became
sound sleep. 1t must have been about
o'clock in the afternoon when he was
suddenl, awakened BY loud shouting on
the street. 1t was done in behalf OF Mi.
Morrisscy, and was done by a crowd OF
men and boys who had followed that

Nelson looked at Beck for a moment,
and took in the situation, as manifested
in his drowsy eyes. Haven t you heard
the news? Why Morrissey has been
nominated, said he to the kentuck-
ian.
Nominated for what?' eagerly in
quired Mr.. Beck.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE LION CUBS.
N. Y. Sun.

The young lions have been for many
months among the chief attractions of the
Central Park menagerie. They were
gentle and playful, and the keepers grew
fond of them. Yesterday afternoon
Keeper Ryan assisted in feeding the car
nivora in the menagerie. Large pieces
of meat with just sufficient bone to keep
the animals healthy, were thrown into the
cages. The cubs impatiently awaited
their turn, and fought for the choice
morsels. Their food had been given to
them, and the keepers were moving away
when one Of the cubs uttered a cry of
pain. Conklin tried to lasso it and get it
out of the cage, but it died before it
could be got at It's cries excited the
other animals, and the menagerie was
quickly cleared Of visitors. The remain

AMMUNITION ESCAPED.

Sioux CRY. April 3.-The Dakota
Capital Commission wlnch has been in
and about Sioux City for week past, left
by a special train for Yankton after mid
night last night where they arrived be-
tween and O'Clock this morning.
There, hurried organization was effected
and the committee proceeded to Scotland.
This course was adopted to escape an in
junction which Yankton parties were
anxious of serving. The meeting in
Yankton prior to the 9Th of April, was
made necessary by the language of an
Act which provides that the committee
shall meet there within thirty days from
the date of the passage of the Act for the
purpose of organization and the election
of president, secretary and treasurer.
The commission is not likely to meet soon
again in Yankton.
