Leaving the district in debt Jan'y 1885,. SOL So
The board deem it best to vote spe-
ciAl tax Of three-fourths of l per cent
on the dollar now and enough addition
al to cover Indebtedness early in Janu-
uary and pay the expenses Of the schot
to the LIST Of July, 1885.
The board, after mature elaboration,
has concluded, in view of the central To-
cation OF the school house and the dona-
ton of three lots, it is best to receive
the same as the property Of the district
and pay all Indebtedness pro rata as the
money is collected.
Therefore the people will be called on
to vote special tax of three-fourths of
per cent. on Saturday, the 4th day of
October, 1884. The polls will b. opened
at l o'clock p. M. on that day at the
school house and continue open until
o'clock p. NJ, and hope that all heads
Of families and tax payers of the district
will turn out and vote the tax.

The IFelItale Hat.

E'It is no use, my fine fellow" replied
the Chicagoan, 81 can't be had"
The steerer apologized and turned to
go.
"Stop," said the lawyer, smilingly.
II am of an inquisitive turn of mind.
Do you see this $40 note9 1t is yours if
you will tell me honestly why you picked
me out as a stranger in the city,"
The bunco man took the bill and
whispered, 'It was your hat. You
laugh, but it is fact. There is no bet
ter Indicator of where man is from than
his hat. Come to the steps here and
watch the people as they pass. See that
we'll dressed man with the silk hat with
very narrow brim. Well, where he
comes from that hat is the fashion. It's
an old style here, but new one where
he lives. That man is an American, but
he has been living in the West Indies
That stout man there with the extreme
broad brim is from Detroit or Canada
We can always tell Philadelphian from

Boston man by his accent. But mans
hat is the surest telltale OF the lot. St

Must tread in separate paths; while Times
dark wings
Beat out the tagging hours of all the days,
Marking the epochs of their wanderingl
oh, lonely roadl o tired, pacing feet
That may not meetl
Oh, longing hands that may not, must not,

Oh, parted hands that may not, must not

Those other hands with yearnings infinite!
Oh, starving lips, whose hunger is but this
They must not kiss.
Oh, aching eyes that shine so far apart
Love-haunted eyes that may not, must not
tell
The secret of the passion laden heart,
The whispered secret that they know so
well
Oh, hopeless love, that hope of death survives
In such cleft lives
Oh, souls that never while the world rolls on
Shall mingle in speechless ecstasy
Oh, love that lives on hours long dead ard

Bound love that strives so vainly to te

The Congressional Library.

A cool, pleasant resort is the congress
ional library, which is open every day in
the week, says Washington letter. The
single room of the past generation, where
the books were surrounded with wooden
shelving, has grown into three spacious
halls, four stories high lined throughout
with alcovcs of solid iron and crammed
from end to end with books behind books
in double rows, while 60, 900 volumes (or
library three times as large as that
saved from the flames thirty years ago.
arc stacked in daily increasing piles upon
the floors. Librarian Spoiford and his
assistant officers are crowded and en-
barrassed in the daily discharge of their
duties by the encroaching army of liter
ature which will soon usurp every foot
OF room within its present meagre limits
in the capitol. In addition to the copy
right books, Mr. Spoford has taken the
ground that it is the business or the
| library Of the United Utates to possess all
the literature that the country has pro-
duced. Thus this institution is found
constantly competing at almost every
public auction for copies of books, pam
phlets and journals which are continually
poured out of the countless private col
lections of the country into the marts OF
public competition. Not only so, but
still larger importations are made from
the book-shops of England and the Con
tincnt, many of which are rich iD
arc known as Americana.

The Value of Slang.

"Slang has this value, that it shows
how language grows. The English
tongue is so vigorous that it seizes what
ever it needs for growth just as it did in
its infancy. At that period direct
imitation of sounds were constantly
made into words, as the young vandals
of to-day use "chink" for money"
Further on in the growth of the tongue,
it took from ordinary speech these imita-
tive words, and converted them to new
uses, just as you say "ticker" for
watch" and "puff'' for advertise
ment." The contraction of words, is
another stage, as "mob," now perfectly
good English, was at first merely slang
for the Latin mabile, the tickle crowd,
as "cab" was slang for "cabrio!et," and
"furlong" for 'furron long" the length
of furrow, and as mob is slang for
mobility"
"We make words from mems names in
the same way. suppose 'boycotting'
may be good English soon. Martinez,
now indispensable. was the name of q
historic general oyerstrict in discipline.
Derrick was famous hangman of the
seventeenth century, in honor of whom
roughs nicllnamed the gallows-like
hosting apparatus; and these are two,
only, out of scores of cases.
''Many of the words that are now re-
spectabilities of conversation were once
gutter-children Drag for instance
was thieves word for carriage, and
'dragsmen' the peculiar variety of thieves
who followed the carriage to cut away
the luggage from the rack behind. But
'dray is good English now for private
coach. 'Kidnap' was thieves slang fo
child-stealing; that is, TO nab a kid.
Tie for cravat, was as much th
slang of low life as 'choker' is now
'Conundrum' and donkey and fun
were all slang words though perhaps no
so low. Bore was slang and SO wer
'wadde' and bother. '"-St. Nicholas.

Forty.Slx Days Of Starvation

The ability of human being to exist
for long period without natural food
has been again demonstrated i'll a recent
instance, which has been investigated
with much interest by the Austrian doc
tors. A peasant woman lost her way in
a Bohemian forest, and was unable to re-
turn to her home. She wandered many
miles, and at length sank down ex-
hausted, and was unconscious. and unable
to respond when her neighbors went
through the forest looking and calling
for her. Parties of villagers continued
the search for her in vain, and at the end
of month all hope of finding her alive
was abandoned. On the forty-sixth day
after she had been lost she was discov-
cred by accident The poor woman was
still alive, but was in pitiable condition
She mad subsisted entirely by sucking
dew from the leaves and by eating grass.
When found she W., surrounded by q
number of half fnllahel foxes, evidently
awaiting her death.

A Nnmeless woman!s sapnnment.

An Augusta (Ga.) letter recites the
following particulars of strange story:
About thirty years ago young woman
came TO Augusta and set up house.
keeping for herself She had about
SO, 900 and was comely. 1t was well
known that the name she bore was
fictitious, but nobody cared to make in
Guiry rs to her true name or the place OF
her birth. The woman was joined by a
man who became noted gambler. Her
fortune constituted his capital, and she
gave it to him ungrudgingly. A few
years ago she died and the court ap'
pointed an administrator to take charge
of her estate 1t was fonnd that about
SO, 900 was left, and the administrator
then proceeded to hunt up the heirs.
But not a clue to the dead woman's
rightful name could be found. Among
her papers were several diplomas, show
ing that she had liberal education, but
in each the name had been carefully
erased. There we're also number of
letters, but they had received the same
treatment. The woman desired to be
dead to all her past associations. She no
longer existed so far as her family and
friends were concerned and she permitted
no one to draw her secret from her.
The administrator became convinced
that she came from Philadelphia but be-
yond this he could ascertain nothing.
He advertised in the Philadelphia papers,
but nothing came of it. No answer was
returned from the grave, and the rem
nant of the anonymous woman's fortune
is about to go for purpose that she
never dreamed of-the education of
children. Under the law of Georgia, no
heirs having been found for the property,
it escheats to the State and goes into the
educational fund. Thus In short time
the board of education of Richmond
county will come into possession of the
property and will be able to do much
GOOD with it. She to whom it belonged
lies in a nameless grave, but the property
itself will go to build school-houses and
aid in fitting generation after generation
for the battle of life.
There are other incidents connected
with the story of this woman's life anl
death that show some Of the remarkable
vicissitudes of human experience. Sh'
evidently belonged to some wealth,
family of the City of Brotherly Love
This is the first intance In this section
where property escheated to the State.
