Because She Was q Drunkard's Daugh'
ter.

Suicides arc of such frequent occur
renee that they fail to make much Of an
impression upon the public mind. And
yet some of them are unutterably sad.
Take the recent case of Jennie Yarnell,
a modest and pretty girl OF nineteen, in
Shenandoah, Pa. Jennie was we'll edu-
Gated, church member, and Il girl Of
SONS refinement and ambition. Her
great sorrow in life was the drunkenness
of her father. frequently when she re-
turned from church or Sunday school,
where she was teacher, she was mortified
to find her father in an intoxicated con-
di,ion., This weighed so heavily upon
her mind that she finally told the old
man of her intention to kill herselfi if he
did not reform. Last Sunday when Jen-
ME returned from church she found her
fathcr drunk. Bursting into tears she
demonstrated with him and was harshly
answered. Guing upstairs the poor girl
seized O pistol und shot herself through
the heart. She could no longer endure
the shame of being drunkard's daugh,
Ter. Stern muralisis will condemn the act
aud say that it was the girls duty to live
and suffer and aid her father in his strug-
gle with the drink demon. No doubt it
was her du'y. But it should also be
recoIlected that her agony of mind ap'
preached madness, and it was in the
frenzy of despair that she committed
selfmurder.

Action OF Alcohol on the Heart,

DR.. N. B. Richardson, of London,
says he was recently able to convey a
considerable amount of conviction to an
intelligent scholar by a simple expert
ment. The scholar was singing the
praises of the "ruddy. BUMPER" apd
saying he would not get through the day
without it when Mr.. Richardson said to
him: "Will you be coed enough to feel
my pulse as stand bere?" He did SO.
I said, "Couut it carefully; what does it
say?" "Your pulse says a." / then sat
down in chair and asked him to count
it again. He did so aud said, "Your
pulse has gone down to TO-" then laid
down on the lounge, and said, "Will you
take it again ?" He replied, Why, it's
only 64; what an extraordinary thing"
1 then said, "When you lie down at
night that is the way nature gives your
heart rest. You know nothing about it,
but that beating organ is resting to that
extent; and if you reckon it up great
deal of rest, because in lying down the
heart is doing ten strokes less a minute
Multiply that by sixty and it is six hun.
uIcu uuitlpiy III oy o'SuV H"u's, ""E
within o fraction it is five thousand
strokes different; and as the heart is
throwing six ounces of blood at every
stroke, it makes difference of thirty
thousand ounces of lifting during the
night. When 1 lie down at night without
any alcohol, that is the rest my hear
gets. But when you take your wine o.
grog, you do not allow that rest, for TIT
Influence Of alcohol is to increase tht
number of strokes, and instead of getting
this rest, you put on something like tif
teen thousand extra strokes, and the re
suit is, you rise up very seedy and uni
for the next days work till you hav.
taken a little more ofthe "ruddy bumper,
which you say is the soul of mai
below"

A Woman,s Work.

She must always have the masculine
buttons of the family sewed on 80 they
will never come off while in use, and she
must keep the family hosiery so that
nobody would ever mistrust that there
were toes in the stockings while they
were on. She must hold herself in con-
slant readiness to find everything her
husband has lost-and man never
knows where to find anything. He will
put his boots carefully away on the parlor
sofa, and when he has hunted for them
half an hour he will suddenly appeal to
his wife with countenance like an
avenging angel and demand .."What in
thunder she has done with his boots ?'
She must shut!an, the doors after her lord
aud master, and likewise the bureau
drawers, for "a married man was never
known to shut a. drawer. Itwould be as
unnatural for hen to go in swimming
for recreation.
She must go. to bed first in cold wealth.
er, so as to get the bed warm. Her bus>
band, if he be wise man, never asks
her to do this. Oh, no; but he sits to
''just finish this piece in the paper" and
waits till she has got the sheets to q com.
Portable temperature. All, there are a
great many tricks in the trade OF living
together. A woman is expected to take
care of the baby, even after the first
infantile wonder has multiplied into q
round half dozen. And if he doubles
up with tho collie or trials of cutting
teeth or the necessary evils of mumps
aud measles and whooping cough and
scarlet fever and rash and throat distem-
per and short sleeves and bare legs and
pins sticking into him aud too much
candy and bad temper, her husband
tells her that he "does wish she would
try and quiet her baby" and he says it.,
too, as if be thought she alone was re-
sponsible for its being existence, and as
if she was considerably to blame, too.
Aud when she has the headache, no.
body thinks of minding it-a woman's 3
always having the headache. And if
she is "nervons enough to fly" nobody
shuts the door any quieter, ard nobody
tucks her on the lounge with a shawl
over her, or coddles her to death as man
has to be coddled under such circumstan
ces. We might;go on infinitely with the
troubles of being woman, and if there
is man who thinks q woman has an
easy time of it, why, just let him pin on
a pound of false hair and get inside a
pair of corsets, aud on pull.back over
skirt, and be woman himself, and see
how he likes it,

Will Never Have the Tremens.

"Did you ever have the tremens ?"
was the laconic inquiry made yesterday
by one Detroiter Of another.
"The what?"
"The tremens, snakes, shakes, triangles,
jimjams, side jumps, OR whatever you
choose to call them."
"Oh, / see; you mean the jerks. NO,
I never had them and never will. l
went through an experience once that
convinced me l had no use for any
nervous disturbance of that character.
1 was rooming with a capital young
fellow at hotel. He was southerner /;
came from Texas, and had all that gen.
erous, impulsive nature that is attributed
to the best class of Southerners. But
I-that fellow would get on the most hila.
rious batters of the most pronounced
type. He'd get blind, bowling drunk,
and keep it up until nature would bring
in her bills aud send him to bed because
he couldn't meet them. He'd spend all
,the money he had, all he could borrow,
and then run his credit to the very limit.
He was ready to be anybody's friend,
and the fact was taken advantage of while
he could work the bars. He was quick
to anger, and when his money disappeared
he was liable to be treated to pair of
black eyes or sore jaw. He would
come out of spree determined never to
have another one, and while his resolu-
ton prevailed he was gentlemanly, tidy
as fashion plate and the best of COM
pany. He was a Democrat and Cleve-
lands election took3the young man clear
off his feet. He was on the war path for
two weeks. He was drunker than lord
and made Rome howl for keeps. He
finally had to give up and went to bed
at. the hotel. BE slept twenty.four hours
and then wanted whisky. The doctor
said to give a reasonable amount, but
the debilitated politician wanted quart.
He was quieted for time, and 1 threw
myself on the bed for nap. A voice
awakened me. I heard the young fellow
praying and saw him kneeling by the
bedside. His petition was that the Lord,
his mother, and all other interested par
ties might forgive him for what he was
about to do. He felt it as his duty TO
murder me then and there, because, ia
his distorted Judgment / was fit to cum
Der the earth no longer. was almost
petri6ed with mingled astonishment and
fear. 1 saw that he had 'em. He was
an athlete, six feet tall, and out of his
head. In the corner of the room were
two Iudian clubs and baseball bat. He
rose from prayer. started for the corner,
and saw that 1 must do something or
be pounded into q jelly.ir ri made one
spring before he knew l was awake, pin.
ioned his arms behind him, and let out
two or three terrific yells. In a few
seconds the porter, with a half dozen
other men, were helping put the Cleve-
land man to bed. He got around all
right, and vows he's done drinking, but
I wouldn't sleep with him after another
democratic victory for half of Michigan.

the cavalry under Colonel William
Washington made furious onset and
routed the British Dragons. During
the assault Tarleton and Colonel Wash.
ington had a personal encounter, in
which Tarleton was wounded. Long
after, the British officer remarked to o
lady that he had understood that Colonel
Washington was very iliterate, that he
could not even write his name. To this
the lady replied, 'Weli, Colonel, you bear
evidence that he can at least make his
mark
"And another time Tarieton said he
would like to see Colonel Washington /;
and the same lady remarked, If you had
looked behind you at cowpens you might
have done so.'"
"She was witty |" said Ned, laughing /;

Washington was Of George Washington's

But.the funniest thing is the story of an
American soldier at Eutaw Springs, who
was rushing headlong in the flying pur-
suit Of the retreating British. He sud.
denly found himself ahead of his com.
rades and surrounded by the British.
Of course he expected to osbe killed or
taken prisoner, at lenst he would have
thought so if he had taken time to think.
But he seized British of6cerby the col.
lar and .wrested his sword from him, then
keeping the officer between himself and
the enemy. he backed of, The enemy
would not fire upon their:own officer and
80 he was pretty sure Of escaping. The
British officer stormed, and began to get
off string of titles saying, am Sir this
and that, giving his rank in the army
and his title at home. The American
said, Exactly you are just the mani
was looking for. =,

ooh, CORVALLIS did not command at
Eutaw Springs! Stuart was the British
commander there. From Guilfold Court
House CORVALLIS retreated to Whining
ton, and from thence went to Petersburg
and took Arnold's place, rayaging the
country about until there was nothing
left to destroy, then he took himself into
Yorktown and fortified it. At first he
