In Trimble County, Kentucky.
Mary Stephens supposed her husband
was dead, he having LEFT home many
years ago, and she married again in
July last. Stephens went to his wife's
home recently, not intending to let
himself be known. His wife immedi-
ately recognized him. and, throwing
her arms about his neck and scream
ing ..My long lost husband" kissed
him. This aroused the Jealousy of the
new husband, who struck her across
the neck with drawing knife he had
in his hand, severing the jugular vein.
Stephens drew n revolver and shot the
murderer, who in turn gave Stephens
q cut across the back of the neck with
the drawing knife. Both men are said
to be fatally injured.-Louisrille Cotr-

 The PaH Mall Gasstks, referring to the refr sal of Lord Colesidge to write a book about his recent journeyings in America, says:
 Is there not good deal to be said ia defence of the popular demand for the kind of writing which Lord Coleridge is not willing to supply? That demand is not really dsmsnd for literature. bu, a demand tos conversation Most even fairly educated people are hopeiessly dull, moootooous, and uainspiring. They read the secoud-szte biographies, me moirs, "impressioo," which form % large share of coosemporary literature in order to enjoy the conversation of people who are cleverez or have more interesting experience than themselves It would be very absurd to wish to hear Lord Colefidge philosophise about America. It is very natural to wish to hear him talk about it. But for talk, book with its permanence, its formality, its inevitable pretentiousness, is not the proper form Ask man to write book and he ceases to talk and begins to lecture. The means have not yet to be discovered by which some part of the talk of the best men may be conveyed to the great body of the in- telligent public. Or, have not the means already been discovered Are they not to be found, we make the suggestion with all humility, in the intesviews As yet, no doubt that form of publication is much maligned, and, let us admit, also occasionally abused. But it has a future before it For newspapers can do with ease and propriety what books can never do as well or as naturally. They can act as telephone through which the wider public may be present at the conversation of our best men.

Just Like John.

A woman clad in deep mourning
went through the menagerie yester-
day, stopping to admire each of the
animals in turn, and every now and
then applying her handkerchief assidu-
ously to her eyes, says The Burlington
Free Press. When she came to the
camel, ii was evident that she had
come to stay. She sat down on one of
the posts that held the rope and began
to cateChise the attendant
This is the camel, amt it?'
Eyes m-and the finest specimen in
this menagerie or in any menagerie in
the country"
"Do tell! How that reminds me of
John? John was always at the head of
the heap. Now, do tell me some OF
the peculiariues of the camel-won't
you?'
Eyes, ma am. He has long neck"
Just like John, He had the longest
neck you ever saw on man. Graciousl
wish you could have seen the stand
ing collars he used to wear Come,
now, tell me something more"
1.-The camel, has the largest natural
hump of any animal in existence. ="
Just like John, You never saw q
man that could hump himself as John
could, when had mind to.
The camel is also great traveller. "
just like joint never could keep
him AT home nights.
He is called the ship OF the desert. I"
Just like John! lie could get more
pie aboard than any other man in
Vermont"
Just then the lion began to roar, and
the woman started on the dead trot to
see how much meat they could eat al
one meal. Say cried the attendant
of the camel. There's one thing ]
hain't told you about this animal-thc
most important OF all.
whats that?' cried the woman
turning round in her tracks.
"He can 90 for weeks without drink
ing drop Of water. "
Just like joint exclaimed thl
excited female. you never saw ;
man
But the lions began to roar so louC
that her voice was lost to the attendan
OF the camel; and he forgot all about thu
little incident, until later in the day
when he saw female in black in from
of the monkeys cage, and heard he
explain, by way Of comment or som
remark Of the keeper

and which occupied the County Court for

the Judge with a strong brief
in support of his side of the

years, and it had been in almost constant
service during that time The tariff on the
instrument collected in this country as the
price of its admission was $35.
