Capers Of a Cyclone.

Nj. Robert Wilson whose mother
house was demolished, was blown out
into the yard, but not seriously hurt.
He had retired before the storm came
on and laid his clothing on a chair. In
his vest pocket was a watch. The next
morning he found his watch hanging. on
a small limb of a tree that had blown
down in the yard, the chain wrapped
several times around the limb. 1T was
ticking away as if nothing had hap
pened. Mr.. Stewart, who was killed at
Daniel Watson's, was very fond Of hunt
ing, and always kept his gun near the
head of his bed. When Mr.. Stewart
was. found after the storm his gun was
lying near him, but it had been dis
charged, the entire load passing through
Mr.. Stewards body. In one place we
noticed a large fat pine log. which would
weigh at least 5000 pounds, which was
taken up from the ground where it was
lying and carried a distance oil twenty
to twenty-five PAGES and piled across
some other logs.-Kosth Carolina

why Apprentices are Scarce.

A contemporary writer saysit is prin-
cipally because of the conceit of weak
and foolish parents who could not think
of allowing their boys to soil their hands
with manual labor or tarnish their pedi-
gree by associating with common work
men. Many and many g young man
have | known whose aptitudes called to
him with all the imperious demands of
instinct to learn a trade, but he was
prevented from doing so by his parents,
who preferred to see him filling the
more important and dignitied position
of clerk, often working fifteen hours a
day for $15 per month, and sometimes
yielding to the small temptation to leave
unpaid his tailor's and washerwoman's
bills. Or, if he escaped the clerkship,
he was almost sure to be found among
the luckless merchandising profession
al men who stand off and
eye with green envy the
one in the round hundred who has
made q. success. 1T is not the lack of
attention TO the new workman that is
lowering the standard in mechanical
trades, but the folly of parents in clos
ing the doors of the trades in the face
of their sons, and in the absence OF
good material we get bad. Tt is very
often the case that we get hold of a boy
who has few or 10 qualifications, natural
or acquired, for a trade, but he can
probably make more money at that than
at common labor, and, as VS. can get no
better, we have to do the best we can
Thor, is no donbt we are getting noor-
er subjects every year for apprentices
for this very reason. But we can reach
a point so low that it is impossible to
get any lower, and / believe we have
about reached that point III some lines
OF business. Some parents, and boys
too, are at last getting their eyes opened.
They are learning that they cannot
plant dudes and false men. Many
bubbles baye been pricked, and
much gliding has worn through. La
Dor is becoming more dignified, because
more than ever before it is welded to
thought. The manual training-schools
which are springing up in nearly all Of
our large cities are giving instruction
to many boys whose parents, perhaps,
would not at first consent to them en-
tering the shops. These schools are
doing q good work in teaching the prin-
ciples Of trades, in fostering q genuine
love fer mechanics, and in pointing out
the way to the special field where the
young man can labor with the assurance
of receiving his highest reward. With
such Frightening prospects as the work
of the manual training school warrants
we see no reason for fearing that the
race of good workmen in any trade will
soon die out. On the contrary, we be-
lieve we will see mechanics increasing
in numbers and skill from year to year.

Both the Packer boys, Robert and
Harry, were treated like equals by their
father and mother. In the little village
where this good old man lived there
was a summer hotel, which was patron
lied considerably during the season,
young Harry Packer often taking his
meals there. A young girl named
Lockwood, daughter of d respectable
citizen living near the village, came in
to assist waiting on the table. The
frequency of Harry Packers meals at
the hotel attracte5 some attention, and
his brother Robert, or bob" as he was
Familiarity and aff~eetionately called BY
almost all who even knew him, said one
day before the father and Harry at the
breakfast table that Harry was sweet
ON a little girl down at the hotel, and
that was the reason he did not come to-
his meals regularly. Harry colored
up a little, and after they had finished
their breakfast the old Judge seated
himself ON the front porch which over
looks Maunch Chunk and gives such a
magnificent view of the Lehigh Valley,

Well, wait until i go down and see her.
said the Judge, and picking up his old
white hat and cane the Judge quietly
tambled down to the hotel and asked for
Miss Lockwood. She innocently came
to,thef Office of the hotel with her dining
room apron or, and seated herself be-
side the Judge. just what he said TO
her, or she to him, will never be exactly
known, unless she. tells it; but when
the Judge. came out he was smiling and
appeared mighty we'll pleased. He went
home and found Harry still sitting ON
the porch where he had left him. BY
this time the Judges face had resumed
its usual grave but kind expression.
well, Harry, !" he said, "that is d very
nice girl down there, but she has no
money. We must raise her some"
The old Judge put down his memo
randum for $50, 600, the mother andthe
others for $25. 900 each, and this $780,
600 was placed in the bank to the ex-
elusive and immediate credit of Miss
Lockwood; fine engagement was an
nounced, tbs wedding day fixed, the
marriage took place, and Harry Packer
got the girl he liked.

long lost ring and placed It on Bella's
finger.
Bella looked up in amazement, but it
was only for a moment the truth flashed
on her as once. Selling Tom by the
arm, she cried:
ooh, darling you cannot deceive me;
it was you who found my treasure?"
Tom laughed at her impetuosity.

gently pulled when he talked about the
charms of his lady Lowell Indeed, the

IN THE LAND OF x


Idont say that a true southerner would
be mortally offended if You refused to
drink with him, yet when he invites
you you sometimes feel that the invita-
tiors comes right from the heart and
YOU feel mean not to accept. Don't
imagine that he walks around hunting
for somebody to swallow liquid in chorus
with him. His invitation comes only
after you have sat down with him anu:
had g chat on old times and future pros
poets. He is shy of You at first. Yon
can feel that he is sounding you and
trying to make an estimate Of whether
you viii do to tie to. By-and-by he
warnls up and does two-thirds Of the
talking. Further on he bitches his
chair O little closer. Then he grows
confidential, aud first YOU know he taps
your arm on your leg with his finger to
emphasize his remarks. An invitation
to drink is not far off. i have watched
it in a hundred cases, and / never knew
tito fail once.
Yes, sin, = he says"yes, sir, I was In
that very fight you speak of, and my
brigade was on our left flank. I tell
you, it was hot. You Yanks were down

one of you had A sixteenlshooter.

But Istarted to tell yon how a South
ern mar drinks. Almost invariably he
takes a straight whiskey. Your beer Is
waiting while he pours out his hair
litter. He raises his glass, surveys the
contents for five seconds, and then with
a nod and a humble in which you catch
the word luck, he seems to throw the
whiskey down his throat in a lump. He,
never stops to taste, nor smack, nor
dilute, but uownI IL goes ASH ne mad not
q minute to spare, and You areleft with
two-thirds Of a glass of beer i n your
hand. He'll settle the score, wipe off
his mouth, chew up two on three kernals
OF coffee, and consult his watch before
the last Of your glass is gone, and you
can't help but feel that You are trespass-
ing upon his valuable time.-Nasby.

EMMETTSBURG EXClTED.
\ Scheme TO Gobble Half the Land
the City IL Built On.

Emmettsburg is in n white heat of ex
element over a litigation that has beer
commenced in che circuit court, involv.
ing the title to the land upon which the
east half of the city is situated, which in.
cludes the northwest quarter of section
30, township 96, range 80.
1t seems that about the year 1868 one
Thomas Maher, who was then the owner
of the lands in dispute, disposed, or at.
tempted to dispose, of them to a party in
the east, but never executed a deed.
The property has since been transferred
several times, until, in 1883, it was in.
corporated with other property into the
original plst of Emmetsburg, and now
comprises the most beautiful and desir.
able portion of the city, On this ground
are situated the court house, which was
completed two years ago at a cost o,
$4,000; also the Waverly hotel and
Scottish-American banking offices, Orms-
by e. Co.'s block and opera house, and
some of the finest residences in the city.
The matter has rested for over twenty
live years without any knowledge of the
defect in the title, until a party by the
name of Thos. +. Taylor ran across the
defect while looking over the records a
few weeks ago. When Taylor became
convinced of the above facts he sent for
Maher and entered into a negotiation by
which, in consideration of 5000 paid
down and a royalty Of 40 per cent of the
profits of the transaction, Maher
agreed to give Taylor a quit claim deed
to thej property. Before the bargain
was contaminated, however, the matter
came to the ears of some of the largest
property owners IN the disputed tract,
who at once procured an injunction from
the circuit judge to restrain the execu,
ton and delivery of the deed.
There is already loud talk of tar and
feathers and a rail for the parties.
Omaha daily bee., 1884-03-01
Plain Facts Plainly Spoken.

It one time q discussion Of the secret vice was en-.
trely avoided by the profession, and medical works
but q few years ago would hardly mention 1t.
To-day the physician is of a different opinion; he is
aware that 1t Is his interchangeable though II
may be--to handle this matter without gloves and
speak plainly about it; and intelligent parents and
guardians will thank him for doing so.
The results attending this destructive vice were or.
merly not understood, or not properly estimated; and
no Importance being attached to q subject which by
Its nature does not invite close investigation, 1t was
willingly ignored.
The habit is generally contracted by the young
while attending school; older companions through
their example, may ba responsible for 1t, or it may be
acquired through accident. The excitement once OK.
perienced, the practice will be repeated again and
again, until at last the habit becomes firm and com
pletely enslaves the victim. Mental and nervous at
~fictions are usually the primary results OF self-abuse.
Among the injurious effects may be mentioned lassi,
tude, detection or Feasibility Of temper and general
debility. The boy seeks secluson, and rarely joins
in the sports of his companions. II he be q young
man he will be little found in company with the Other
sex, and is troubled with exceeding and annoying
bashfulness in their presence. Lascivious dreams.
emissions and %erupsions on the face, etc, are also
prominent symptoms.
If the practice 10 violently persisted In, more serious
disturbances take place. Great pa,pitation Of the
heart, or cpileptic commissions, are experienced, and
the sufferer may fall into a complete state ofidiocy be.
fore, finally, death relieves him.
To all those engaged in this dangerous, practice, ]
would say, first of all, stop it at once; make every
possible effort to do so; but II you fail, if your nervous
system Is already too much shattered, and conse
Quently, your will.power broken, take some nerve
tonic to aid you in your effort. Having freed yourself
from the habit, l would further counsel you to 20
through a regular course of treatment. for it is q great
mistake to suppose that any one may, for some time,
be t every SO little give himself up to this fascinating
but dangerous Excitement without suffering from its
evil consequences at some future time. The number
OF young men who are incapaciated to fill the duties
e%njolned by wedlock Is alarmingly large, and in mos,
OF such cases this unfortunate condition Of things can
be traced to the practice OF self-abuse, which had beer
abandoned years ago. Indeed, q few months practice
Of this habit is sufficient to induce spermatorrhGa
later years, and have many of such cases under treat
men OF the present day.

woods r%everberared with peals of thun.
der. She started up; at that instant q
flash of lightning almost blinded her, and
was succeeded by another peal of thun.
der. The rain came down in torrents
and drenched her to the skin.
Another flash, another poal, and q great
tree, the very one against which she had
been leaning, cracked, %groaned, and then
before the terrified girl could make al
effort To escape, it fell forward, bearing
her frail young figure before it. She had
not time to cry out, sven. There she lay
in all her innocent beauty, crushed like a
bud before its time.
When, after the storm had spent Itself,
some of the pleasure seekers came +,
search for the missing girl, they almost
stumbled across her body, which lay
crushed beneath the giant tree. Hen
sweet face was turned upward, and her
great dark eyes, now glazed and liked in
death, were wide open, with a look OF
despair and horror frozen in them. The
men raised the trunk OF the tree with
logs for levers, and lifted the body from
It's place among the fallen leaves and
branches and carried it, with its wet
golden hair and waxen face, to n wagon,
where the younger Trovors waited with
awed, frightened faces; and they drove
gently home with their silent burden.
Three days afterward a funeral took its
solemn way from Stonybrook farm to the
little church which stood in the midst of
the weeping willows. Mr.. Trevor came
very near being killea by the shock OF
his favorite child's death, and his wife
- For a while she was also insane
with remorse and grief; she found when
too late that her child was dear to her
she has nsver been the same woman
since, and in her bent form and snow
hair it is hard to recognize the Mrs.
Trevor of other days. The country peo-
pie for miles, around know the story and
pity the anguished woman, but they
know not what terrible thing is that
mothers remorse.
