Reading Everything"

@ He.ha sreads everything is a re-
mark qnently made when scholarly
manis under discussion How absurd
such statement is will appear when
the fact is mentioned that in the Con-
gressional library at Washington there
are over 600, 1000 volumes. If they were
placed side by side they would fill a
shelffifty miles long. If man started
to read this collection at the rate of one
volume a day it would take him 1850
years to get through. And while the
man Wonld be at work on this vast
library the printers would be turning
out more than 5000 new books wear.
From these figures it will be seen that
it is idle to think threading everything,
oreven to read all the best books. The
greatest readers among our distin-
guished men have had their favorite
books, which they read and reread.
Certain books in our language are
called classics. They are models of
style and full of ideas and illustrations.
Modern writer's go to these old authors
and get Jumps of solid gold which they
proceed to beat out very thin.
Why should we take the gold leaf arti-
Gle when we can go to the. original
mines and get solid nuggets? The old
novclsare the best. The, old poets have
not been equaled. Too many of our
new books are written hastily to
sell. They are of an inferior quality
and cannot profit us in any way. A
man therefore need not be ashamed to
say that he has not read the last new
book. When forty new books appear
every day it is impossible to read them

Then smoky cloud fell in that par

answered their prayer. The Rev. Nj.

God had condescended for the quoting
of their afflicted spirits this extraordi-

OF those for whom so many fervent
prayers were continually made
You will see, said the Professor,

We were favored on Friday with q
specimen Of wheat of the above variety,
taken from the premises of Joseph Tat
nall, Esq, in the Ninth ward. 1t was
planted late In the season, in drills
about one foot apart, single grain in
the place about ten inches distant from
each other, and although very back,
ward in the spring, rapid growth was
made, and the straw, which was very
stiff, stood AZ feet high at harvest time,
although the heads were unusually
large. The yield was at the ratio of &C
bushels to the acre. Sixty seven heads
were shelled by hand and counted sep.
arately. Thirty four of these contained
an average of 76 grains, thirty.three an
average of s6 grains, or an average to
the whole of 81 grains each. There were
other heads which yielded 100 grains.
4 SO we'll is Mr.. Tatnall pleased with this
wheat. that he intends to SOW 1t on both
his farms to the exclusion of any other.
Farmers who have not yet sown theii
wheat would do we'll to consult him, o,

Terrible Cutting ARRAY.

East SAGINAW, Mich, August PA terri
BILE cutting affray occurred at Freeland, ten
miles north of this city, last night, by which
farmer named Benjamin Badgley will lose
his life. Mrs. Badgley was accused by a
neighboring farmer, a Pole named Henry
Bernsky, of slandering him, and the case
was tried in the Court of Justice Forrest, of
this city, yesterday, resulting in Mrs. Badg-
ley's discharge. Both farmers started for
home in wagon last night, and in the
village of Freeland they exchanged
words. Finally they quarrelled. In the
fight the Pole drew a knife and
cut Badgley in terrible manner. One cut
extended across the breast and penetrated to
the lungs, another laid the right arm open
to the bone from the shoulder TO the wrist,
another was across the back, cutting both
kidneys. Sixteen cuts were received in all,
and the wounded man can not possibly live.
The Pole then fled, and was not captured.
The weapon could not be found. There is
great excitement in Freeland, and talk of
lynching. Search is being made for Bernsky.

HIsDoUBLE MARRIAGE EXPOSED.
An Enoch Arden Tries to Remarry Wife No.
1 After Twenty Years.

HUNTINGDOS, Pa, August 22-JOhn Gilbert,
who in 1855 married Miss Elizabeth Martin, and
who abandoned his young wife and child in about
senee for twenty years, recently returned to this
place and sought out his wife of the long ago and
endeavOred TO renew his attachment TO her. She
who died two years ago and bequeathed
to her q nice little property on which she was
living IN ease. She received him coldiy and re-
fused 10 have anything to do with him. Now il is
developed that he has been married elsewhere in
his absence and that be hunted up his first wife
Mr.. COlestOck.
Gilbert was private in Company G, One Hun
dred and FOrty-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers
during the war, and his exposure has been
brought about through his own effort TO gain ad-
mission in the Huntingdon G.. A. X. Post, whose
commander recently cOrresponded with the com
mander of the c. \. r. Post at Springfield. ILL.,, in
quiring about Gilbert's status there. The COM
mander of Stephenson Post, G. a. r., at Spring
field. says that Gilberts conduct during his
residence there was such that he was refused
mem bership in the G.. \. X. of that city. He
frequently confined in Jail tor all sorts of fell
Onies. Letters have also been received here from
Gilberts second wife, who resides at springfield,
and who, before her marriage, was Hattie Riley.
She says that in 1S44 he came TO Springfield and
10 be a harness maker and TO be worth $4,000
After The marriage he persuaded her 10 sell the
comfortable home which belonged to her and he
squandered the proceeds. She has just heard of
his first marriage, and Is now on her way East To
prosecute her husband for bigamy. But as Mrs.
years after her husband abandoned her, Mrs Hat
tie Riley Gilberts marriage in 1877 is perfectly
valid, and no indictment for bigamy can be
brought against the unprincipled deceiver.
