around her. She endeavored with all her power
to give some sign of life, but was unable to do
80. A dread filled her mind lest her body should
be placed upon ice and that she should finally
freeze to death. Then, deciding that death was
probably inevitable, she tried to tell the family
where to bury her, but was not successful. She
remained entirely helpless, suffering the most
Intense mental agony, until restoratives forced
down her throat produced signs of life.

MEETING called last week to arrange for the
completion of Washington monument in
Philadelphia was composed OF an Irishman and
German. They waited impatiently for the
expected crowd to appear. "Shure and wasn't
Washington big man." said the freshman, "an'
didn't he set the fashion for politishuns to cut
down trase2 Arrah, and he deserves mont
ment If it wur only for that same" The Ger
man chimed in With 81 did nod tink dat dere
would pc only Two AMERICANS at dis meeting.
Dere is not any padriods In dis city, it seems to
me-" And then the Scotch policeman told
them he thought it was not worth while to wait.
AN exchange contains advertisement of a
night schooffor young men, in which the man.
ager agrees to impart, with no loss of time,
several branches of knowledge, among them
bookkeeping at glance" The moderate fee
of fifty cents is charged for the necessary
"glance." With French and German in ten
easy lessons, penmanship and drawing without
master and bookkeeping at a glance, nothing
would seem to be in the way of the youth of this
country obtaining liberal education in few
hours. And yet many man lives and dies in
nOcent and ignorant of these desirable accom-
plishments.
NOTED Boston counterfeiter was captured in
Philadelphia in rather curious manner. Two
thieves stole his yalise containing quantity of
bogus coin and counterfeitng tools. In passing
some of the money these men were arrested and
held as the owners of the valise until the Bosto-
MAN was heard making inquiries at the pOice
station for his lost property, which be repre-
sented as being very valuable. He was taken
in.
HUMAN nature seems to be very much the
same the world over. The 1873 newspapers of
OF these, Consul-general Van Buren, says the
one having the largest circulation STRIKES the
lowest level of sensationalsm, and borders on
looseness of morals"
SOME Delaware people eat muskrats and like
them. One enthusiast says: "Put brace of
fricasseed rats before a Wilmington epicure and
the odds that he couldn't tell them from
rabbits" nicer point in gastronomy is to
distinguish the rabbits from cats.
GOVERNOR DUTLER defed the propreties by
being inaugurated at MONDAY in olawhammer
coat and white kid gloves 1t the event of
lifetime with him, and he ought to be excused
if he cut it little too thick.
