Mrs. DIR. J. B. MoFFETg DEAD
A telegram was received here Tues
day evening announcing the death
that afternoon at O'Clock, of the
estimable wife of DR.. J 3. Molfett,
at Minneapolis. Being a resident of
Mineral Point for many years, de-
ceased is remembered kindly by the
greater portion of our community.
She was a woman of strong and ac.
tive mental ability, which SO strained
her physically that for the past few
years she has been prostrated with
feebleness, and her death, so much
to be regretted, did not come with
out warning. She was about so
years of age.

"Montfort's Motto: Treat every
man with distrust, until he proves
himself trustworthy; your neighbor
as a scoundrel and have no charity
for any ne."-Monitor.
Such a motto falls short Of our
approval Considerable depends on
the quick-sightedness and shrewd-
ness of the Montfort people to detect
trustworthyness in person. Should
they prove slow in this it would not
be long ere that town, or any other
adopting such motto, be transform
ed into a desolated wilderness, for
what honest, enterprising man is
going to put up any length of
time with distrust and the treatment
deserving a scoundrel?

EXCHANGES speak of an invention
which it is thought will abolish the
bit. 1t is called the carriage or anti
horse torture. 1t is composed of a
steel band placed over the front bone
of horses nose, and to this appli-
ance the reius are attached. The
inventor claims for this substitute
for the bit, that it gives complete
control to the driver over the horse
without inficting the least discom-
fort to or torture on the animal it
self. 1t has been tried with salts

A WOuld.be PensiOner.

At club dinner in New York re-
Gently, an examining surgeon relate
the following incident, showing how
the Arrears act developed pensioners
out of sound and undeserving men.
During the war he was surgeon of an
infantry regiment. When the regiment
first went into battle he observed, sit
ting behind big tree, at a safe dis
lance from the fighting Line, the Captain
of one of the companies.
"What are you doing here, Captainp"
asked the doctor.
"Im not feeling WE'LL" replied the
officer, in doleful voice.
The surgeon was too busy looking
after the wounded to stop and inquire
as to his complaint. A few weeks later
tho regiment again got under fire, and
the surgeon found the same Captain
skulking behind barn.
"Hello! sick againp" he exclaimed.
"Well, the fact is, doctor, Pm not
exactly sick. 1 may as well own up
that I'm coward. There's no help
for it. 1t must be constitutional. Now,
doctor, what's the use of my staying in
the armyP Won't you help me get a
ulScharge.
The surgeon thought he was doing
the country service when, a few days
afterward, he recommended that the
man be discharged on the ground OF
general disability. He heard nothing
of the Captain until sixteen years later,
when he received letter from the
Pension Office informing him that Cap
tain Blank had applied for q pension
from the date of his muster-out, and
that as he, as surgeon of the regiment,
had certified to the disability, would he
kindly inform the Government as to the
nature of the disease from which the
officer suferedp The surgeon replied
that the Captains complaint was
chronic and incurable cowardice, not
contracted in the line of his duty, but
constitutional. The Captains name
did not 60 upon the roll, and his plan
for getting some four thousand dollars
for arrears and twenty dollars month
for the rest of his life came to grief.
How many schemes no less dishonest
have succeeded through the complai-
sance of examining surgeons, less
honest than the narrator of this Incl
dent, could only be ascertained by a
thorough over-hauling of the whole
Pension List and REORGANIZATION OF
the entire army of pensioners. -E. v

Distinguished Bachelors.

Pope, Pollock, Herrick, Goldsmith,
Macaulay, Watts, Hans Andersen, Vol
taire, Swinburne, Newton, and host
of others were bachelors. Pope, who
was known as the Interrogation point of
literature, hated women. DIR. Watts
was said to have written one of his
sweetest hymns after being refused by a
woman. James Buchanan, the bache-
lor President. was something of an
author, and used to publish his love
verses in the papers.
In art the bachelors were also numer-
Gus. Raphael, Angelo, Landseey,
Joshua Reynolds, and Beethoven were
never married. Congreve, the drama
fist, was specimen of the bachelor
lady-killer, and Swift, bitter and mali
cious as he was, was really of the same
order. Cowper was of a tender, sepsi-
tive nature, and was as shrinking as the
petals of dainty flower. At twenty
eight he met with love misfortune,
and the wound never healed. Keats, al
SO tender and modest, had been affected
by Cupid's darts, and never recovered.
Pope had the iron driven into his

soul by his deformity, which made him
N II tho mora hittar

Soul Dy MS ueIOrmlty, Wnlcn MAUI him
all the more bitter.
DIR. Luxembourg and Adam Smith
had curious stories about their love
affairs, and even Hans Andersen, as
gentle and lovable as was his nature,
had his trials, and told his story in his
own simple and childlike way. Tur-
ner, the artist, had his life shaped and
sharpened by his love shadow, and
he became reserved and dropped into
the hard line of money-making. Some
thing serious prevailed his writings and
paintings.
Lamb, was defined as the self-denying
bachelor, because he gave up marriage
on account of his sister. Gray and
Erasmus were old-maidish bachelors.
Goldsmith was a laundering bachelor,
and his life might have been changed,
good-natured and lovable as he was,
had he married. The ideal bachelor
was Whittier, who was everybody s
friend, gentle, good, and kind. Next
come the CLAIMS, of whom Hume is 9
distinguished example. Incased in his
shell he was regular bivalve, scofling
at everything, and even defending sui
eide. Nowhere in his correspondence
could be discovered an evidence OF
warmth and sentiment.
The corpuleht bachelor authors make
long list. Hume was the latest of
the fat. Not appreciated at home, he
was intoxicated with the praises OF
Paris, and made failure in the salons
as society man. Gibbons corpulency
was even ridiculous, and he went
through several courtships, but forgot
that his fat kept pace with his fame.
After reading several chapters of the
''Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire
to Lady Elizabeth Foster, he got on
his knees to make his proposal. She
refused, and Gibbon could not regain
his feet until helped by two stout peas
ants.
Buckle, Boyle and Spencer were
never married, and the fact may have
been that many of them never had
time. Humboldt was general favorite
in society, and was courted and feted;
he was witty and sharp at repartee.
Though his name is associated with
lonely rivers, unpeopled wastes, noun
tain peaks and travel, he was never
known as husband. Buckle was
always an invalid and devoted to his
mother. Erasmus was very facetious
man and the best critic of his age.
Horace Walpole, who for sixty years
satirized men, women and things, loved
to write letters. In his old age he became
infatuated with Miss Berry, but feared
that the world he had so long. ridiculed
would laugh him down. Pope delight
ed to write letters, and would send half
dozen copies to his lady friends.
Though many detested the ''wasp," he
was devoted to his mother, and was
self-sacrificing. Macaulay was never
married, but his noble nature shone out
/ in his letters to his sisters. When one
of them got married he said he had
nothing left but his ambition. Foreign

of her residence sewing, and her child
was playing near at hand. Hearing q
slight noise, she looked around and saw
crouched within dozen feet of her and
her babe an immense panther, ready to
spring. With shrek she sprang to
her feet and dashed the heavy shears,
with which she was cutting her work,
in the panther's face, snatched her
child, and rushed back into the house.
The panther, disconnected by the sud-
den attack and noise, beat deliberate
retreat for the swamp. Chicago Times.

No Apologies.

"We were poor enough in those
days." said an eminent publicist, once,
in talking to friend about his early
married life, with its hard struggles,
its plain living and high thinking. awe
were poor enough, and we lived good
deal on baked beans with no pork.
'Some folks didn't like beans with no
pork to season them; but mother"
(mother meant his wife) ''never made
any apologies. When company came she
put on an extra plate, and said dinner
was ready just as cheerfully as if there
had been ten courses.
'.If they liked us well enough to come
again, they were always welcome. 1t
was kind of test. If they preferred
pork, they stayed where it was plenty"
To our thinking this frugal housewife
proved her claim to be considered a
lady more conclusively by making no
apologies than she could have done in
almost any other way. Does the
chronic apologizer ever stop ito think
how selfish she is, in considering the
petty annoyance of being in this or that
direction less perfectly appointed than
she could wish, rather than the ease and
comfort OF her guest!
For what guest can be at ease having
been made to feel that he has come at
an inopportune time-that some other
day his hostess would have been more
ready and therefore more glad to see
himp
A lady, well-knOwn to the society OF
two cities, is chronic maker of excuses.
If you go to large dinner-party at her
house, you feel by some spiritual mag
netism the unrest of her own spirit-the
wearing anxiety lest everything should
not 60 off well, which makes it impossi-
BILE for her to be quite at her ease.
81 beg your pardon" she says, at the
end of your prettiest speech, showing
that her thoughts have been other
where.
If you go to family lunch or dinner,
she does wish you had been there yes
terday, when the soup was better, or
that you had come tomorrow, instead,
when some other dainty would have
been attainable.
"Do you 60 often to see Mrs. So-and-
SOP" one friend asked of another, in
our hearing.
''No, 1 don't" was the answer, '.I'm
sorry, too; she is such q kind little
woman; but could not stand her apollo
gies. They always made me feel that /
had come at the wrong time"
If the thought could be present to a
hostess that to apologize profusely is,
inevitably, to make her guests feel that
they have come sat the wrong time, "
surely she would avoid this error. since
the very essence of good breeding is
that genuine kindness of heart which
strives to make people comfortable and
not uncomfortable, happy and not un-
happy. Youths Companion.

Saturday last gentleman of this city was
cunning in the neighborhood of the city and
as he emerged from clump of woods into the
road he came upon young lad lying by the
way-side, and bleeding profusely. The boy
was unable to give any account of himself.
Luckily well known Portland surgeon came
along and between his efforts and those of the
gentleman the boy managed to tell where he
lived. He was taken in the doctors carriage
to the house. The father came to the door and
received his SON with the tender salutation of
"well, what have you been doing now?" The
mother, equally concerned, said "there, naow,
told yer to put on clean shirt this mornin' :"
"Well," madam, said the surgeon think
you had better help me undress the boy as he
is evidently seriously hurt" Little help did
he get however, but finally, after slimulants
had been given the lad it was ascertained he
had been cutting wood with knife that had
long sharp blade, and in cutting towards him,
the knife slipped and the blade penetrated
nearly its whole length into his body just es-
Gaping the heart by an inch in distance. The
loss of blood had caused him to nearly faint
and if he had not been discovered just at the
time he was, he would have bled to death. The
surgeon dressed his wound and left the boy
comfortable. The father however did not
seem seriously disturbed and the mother
couldn't get over the fact, apparently, that the
boy hadn't clean shirt on.

many of the leading progressive minds of both
sex, who displayed great interest in the science
of self knowledge that is all important.
The doctor examined many ladies and gen.
tlemen and found them suffering with compli-
Gated debilities,e each being explained in detail;
some from overwork or neglect, others inheri-
ted and pronounced by the physicians con-
sumptives, beyond hope; others suffering from
overdoses Of murcury and pronounced rheu-

alysis.
One gentleman, was told that ten years ago
he was severely afflicted with the Inflammation
