his power to insure his election.

WHILE murders and suicides are at all times
lamentable there are occasions when public re-
greet is lessened by mitigating circumstances
Distressing as such affairs are, who does not
heave sigh Of relief when homicide follows up
the one deadly deed by neatly and expeditiously
taking his own lifel Probably this thought did
not occur to Captain johnson, notwithstanding
his oft mentioned yearning to lie buried beside
his 'honored wife," He was, doubtless, reflect
ing more upon what he is pleased to term his
own avenged honor than upon his wifes
memory, or the fact that the public had already
heard too much from him.

THE assertion made by the opponents Of the
higher education of women, to the effect that
with the increase of intellectual culture among
them comes a corresponding decrease of mar
riages, receives support in an indirect way from

Wallingford, the siren who has caused all the
trouble in the Halves family, testifes that she
can neither read nor write, and that she has
been married five times The most highly ed

husbands, and Mrs Wallingford's luck may well
be attributed to her limited literary attainments

reason for an abandonment Of romantic accesso-
ries to the affair The bride could not mount be-
hindherL ochinvar and join in adisreputable fight
across the country because there was no one to
pursue, but she could and did enjoy an exhilarat-
ing but deeorous gallop in company with the
prospective groom and their attendants to grove
outside Of the city, and, the reporter describes
it, "away from the hum and noise of the busy
world" The bridal party remained on horse
back, and, as the setting sun cast his beams
over the scene, the minister who had logged
along in his buggy, rose in thatvehcle and made
the twain one just as effectually as if they had
stood before him in an extensively decked par

upon the affair, and it will undoubtedly be cop

A Scene of DesoIation.

A Cairo, H., man having returned from
James Bayou, Miss, after making the round
trip on horseback, reports the country for tho
entire distance in a wretehed condition, just as
the foods left it. Farms are fenceless, houses
demolished and in piles or entirely swept
away. The fields are devoid of every living
thing, some covered with clay and mud, others
with blighting deposit of white sand, all pre-
senting scene of desolation depressing to The
beholder This country, in the ordinary
course of events, would now be ready to re-
ceive seed for the apring crops, but it is now
without fences, outhouseS, or material with
which to build. Near Belmont an occasional
field was noriced ploughed and some little
fencing under way, but the general outlook is
so deplorable that several years will be neces-
sary to place matters in habitable shape.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

Whales were eaten by persons of the
upper classes in Europe as late at least
as the latter part of the thirteenth cen,
fury. The tail and tongue, dressed with
peas or roasted, were priced as choice
delicacies. The Princess Eleanor dc
Montford paid, in 1866, the sum OF
twenty-four shillings for 400 pieces OF
whalen to be used as food in her house
hold.
The latest novelty in New York city is.
paper soap, which is mainly for the use.
Of travellers. The sheets of paDer, which,
are put up in the form of small book Of
about three inches square, are coated with
soap and are said to be just as good as
the regulation article, in addition to being
much handler. There are fifty soap sheets
in each book, costing in the aggregate
about as much as an ordinary cake of
soap.
A twenty-months'- old child in Gran
iteville, Cal, while standing in the door

forward, and looking at the child with
eyes like two flames. The child's sister,
twelve years IF age, pulled her little
brother away, when the reptile glided

An EnglishrLan proposes ''reform>
in printing by emitting 'the" from the
copy. In a chance copy of the London
Times he found "the" occurring 200
times in the first column of the first
page; he calculates that it occurs 1000
times on every page of every copy of the
Times, making 16, 900 times for each en-
tire copy, equal to 38, 900 letters. Reck-
oning that every line in London Time,
numbers forty letters and that column
is made up Of $50 lines, 5000 letters are
consumed in setting up a column, which
brings the calculator to his grand result
that an ordinary copy of the London
Times devotes eight columns of its space
to one little word "the."
A great many persons say "God bles,
us " when they sneeze. The following
explains the origin of the practice: Ac
cording to the rabbinical theory it was
originally ordained that men should
sneeze but once, in that act, possible
only when the time of death had come,
giving up the ghost. But the patriarch
Jacob, feeling that such a sudden call al
lowed no time for the settlement O
worldly affairs and for preparation TO
the hereafter, prayed for exemption from
the rule and in answer to his prayer wa
allowed to sneeze and not die. The
change was regarded as a great benefit
and "all the princes of the universe, whel
they heard it, ordered that for the futur
sneezing should be accompanied will
wishes for its prolon CATION" Hence tn
custom which has prevailed among al
nations of uttering some form of saluta
ton on the occasion of the act. A yer,
common ejaculation among old English
people on sneezing is "God bless us =
which generally sounds more humorous
than reverential under the circumstances

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Great truths are often said in the fewest
words.

The truest end of life is to know the
life that never ends.
Stand firm and immovable as an anvil

Anger is like rain: it breaks itseh

Good taste rejects excessive nicely; it

not hurt by them.
Vanity refuses all wholesome food ana

Be at least as polite to father, mother,

some flowers within, and they would
open if they could only find sunshine and

A Sheet-IrOn Hen.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean is responsible
for the following. "Charlie Kugle, an
ingenious fellow in GAINESVILLE, O., has
constructed sheet-iron hen that promises
to lay him golden egg. 1t is finished
up to life, full size, cackles, clucks, and
looks with one eye at time so naturally
that it will deceive the oldest hen hawk
in the county. 1t is so arranged that
when hawk, mink, or polecat pounces
on to it tho back springs open and the
wings fly up and force the assailant on
to ravenous buzz that makes 1, 700
revolutions per minute. After moving
half minute the saw stops, the hen
closes up, folds its wings, and begins to
cackle as though it had just laid an egg.
One winding up will answer for three
massacres, provided the rather delicate
machinery does not get clogged up with
too much blood, bones and feathers. He
set a freshly-painted one out in the sun
to dry last Wednesday which attracted
the attention of fine old cat belonging
to doctor who had been poking a good
deal of fun at the fool thing. The hen
is there. but the cat is hence"
