3zURNER's OPERA HOUSE.
Under the Management of J. A. Ask
, 1884-08-21
HE COUNTED THE KISSES.
Curious Record of Matrimonial Statutes
Kept by a Frenchman.

From the Eastern (Constantinople) Express.
Perhaps of all nations in the world the
French are most given to the practice of
statistics, and in carrying it out they take
into consideration all manner of subjects
which would never enter the minds of
other people. As a case in point it is mar
rated of a Frenchman, who recently died,
that on his wedding day, some twenty
years ago, he took the resolution Of keep
ing a yearly record of the number ofkisses
exchanged with his wife until their union
became severed by the death ofone or the
other. He was destined to be the first to
go, but when on his sick bed, foreseeing
that he would not recover, he begged a
friend to let the world know the result of
his twenty years Of mountaineering. Dur
ing the first year of welded life the kisses
exchanged reached the colossal figure of
SO, 500, or on an average 100 a day; but
in the following twelve months there was
a notable decrease, not more than 10000
being inscribed on his register; while the
third year shows a still greater falling off,
the average number of kisses being but
ten a day.
After the lapse of five years a further
reduction is recorded, and the account
keepers task was simpliied, for only two
kisses were exchanged during each twenty-
four hours-one in the morning on rising,
and the other on retiring to rest. Later
on, during the last ten years of his mar
ried life, they only kissed each other on
leaving for or returning from a journey,
and he had hence very little trouble in
making up his annual domestic statistics.
Now there was possibly very little diminu-
ton of affection, Notwithstanding this
ominous looking record; it goes more to
prove that the disuse arose from the
growth of familiarity rather than from
enlargement. Take the case of a man ;
children as an example; he fondles and
kisses an infant much more than he does
the same child as it increases in growth;
but who can say that his affection is less
for a daughter in the ripeness of oma
hood than it was for her while lying in
her cradle half or wholly unconscious of
his love.

is a copy of Ex-Governor Hendricks let
ter of acceptance of the Democratic nom
nation for Vice President:
INDIANAPOLIS, August 20, 1884.
Gentlemen-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your communi-
cation notifying me of my nomination by
the Democratic Convention at Chicago, as
candidate for the office of Vice President
OF the United States. May I repeat what
| said on another occasion. that lit is
a nomination which | had neither ex-
pected nor desired, and yet l recognize
and appreciate the higher homer done me
by the convention" The choice of such
a body ofpronounced Democrats, with such
unusual unanimity and accompanied with
so generous an expression of esteem and
confidence, ought to outweigh all merely
personal desires and preferences of my
own. | trust also from a deep sense of
public duty that l now accept the nomin-
alton, and shall abide the judgment of my
countrymen. | have examined with care
the declaration of principles adopted by
the convention, a copy of which you sub
NIT to me, and in their sum and substance
l heartily endorse and approve the m
| am, gentlemen, your obedient servant
(Signed) I. A. HENDRIcKs.

VIENNA, Ills, August about a
hundred men, at last accounts, with guns
and pistols are still in pursuit of David
Avery, the man who. Monday, burned
his wheat stacks to prevent levy by the
constable and then went cunning for his
heighbors and burning their stacks also.
The pursuers think he cannot escape. The
settlement is greatly excited. Last night
after midnight some one burned Ayery's
house and barn. The premises were un-
occupied, as the members of his family
are under %larrest. S%upposition is that
Avery did it himself.
