The EmhIemntIc Horse. .Shoe.

And now it is authoritatiyely stated
that the horse shoe is not the emblem Of
good luck it has so long been supposed
On the contrary, it brings the reverse Of
luck to people who treasure it, The
superstitious will please take notice, and
cease to pick up this offending piece OF
iron wherever and whenever they chance
to see it, as has long been their custom.
One of the greatest scamps on record. a
person who would have sold his mothers s
false teeth if the "ft took him. once
said nothing on earth or in heaven would
prevent him stopping to pick up a horse
shoe, for, if he knew his fortune was at
stake should he miss a certain train. he
would rather lose both than pass this
emblem by 1t is melancholy TO acknow-
ledge he was Away a lucky fellow till
he died, and then, who can tell whether
he was or nOt2 At all events he left a
large collection of horse-shoes of all sizes
and conditions to mourn his loss, and
henceforth exercise their thaumaturgical
power in some neighboring junk-shop.

A Spanish shepherd killed by light
ming recently was made the subject of a
scientific post mortem to discover how
the electric bolt had done its fatal work.
His eyebrows and eyelashes were burned
off, his eyeballs were dried up, all his
left side was scorched and burned in
spots down to the ankle, while the right
side of the body and right leg were unin-
iured. Serious as these injuries were,
none of them appeared sufficient to have
caused his instant death. But as soon
as the breast was opened the cause Of
death was apparent. The lungs were
frightfully congested and the heart was
enormously dilated and filled with
coagulated blood. With all this damage
to the man his clothing was very little
injured, the only traces of the lightning
upon it being small hole bored through
the rim of the hat and a slight singeing
of the shirt collar.

A representation of Marshal Bazaine as
a stage villain has nearly caused riot in
Paris. What long memories those Pa
risians havel If Marshal Bazaine had
been an American, says the New York
Graphic, he might have created and lost
dozen governments and been forgotten
in five years. The Mexican ''expedi-
ton, I" on which the play is founded, has
moro of romance in it than anything else
in the continental on international poll
tics of the last thirty years 1t has ma
terial for an excellent play. 1t has not
been half written up for books. There
was never a more interesting character
than Macmillan, the only imported En-
peror that Mexico has had; and the
heroism attending his execution has not
been half celebrated. His vie, Carlotta,
still lives in one of the sequestered estab-
lishments of the Hapsburgs, hopelessly
insane. The Princess Salm- Salm origi-
nally circus-rider was one of the most
brilli8nt members of the Court at
Queretaro. The misfortunes OF the
last Napoleon as a ruler began
in Mexico, to be ended at Sedan
Marshal Bazaine led the French forces
that were to establish French foothold
in Mexico. His Emperor was exiled.
Macmillan was shot. The Prince Impe-
rial died with a spear in his side in the
country of the Zulus. OF that imperial
establishment only Eugenie remains,
heartsore and old. The only victory of
Marshal Bazaine in Mexico was winning
young Mexican woman, who accompa-
MED him to France as his bride. In the
war with Germany that followed the loss
Of Mexico, the death of Macmillan and
the end of our Civil War, the Marshal
was hopelessIy disgraced for military in
capacity and sentenced to confinement
for a term of years The Mexican ladp
helped him to escape, and since then he
has passed out of the memory and inter
est Of this busy world.

James Tucker (colored) of Sandystone,
Sussex County, has the distinction of
being the most extensive producer of
eggs in New Jersey. His poultry yards
contain 500 hens Of the white Leghorn
breed, and from these he obtains thirty
dozen eggs day. Mr.. Tucker has been
SO successful in poultry raising that his
methods are being widely adopted, and
he is quoted as authority on questions
relating to the business.

A tea ship that recently arrived at
Portland, Oregon, had on board very
peculiar bird, called the japanese tum-
bier. 1t has a habit of jumping from its
perch, turning somersault, and com
ing down on the perch all standing, and
this trick it will perform dozens of
times in succession, till beholders deem
the bird demented. 1t is considerably
larger than canary, and of rather pret
ty plumage, but not much in the musi-
cal line.

THANKSGIVING.

Thanks, for the years brave bounties;
Thanks, for the joys Of life;
Thanks, for our nations glory;
Thanks, for the death of strife.
Thanks, that the roar of battle
Comes only from afar;
Thanks, that the love of freedom
Still leads men like a star.
Thanks, that the world is better;
That the future seems so bright;
That the strength of an age of reason
Is teaching men the right

There is real English thrift indicated
in recent tale from Cheltenham, which
is very enlightened town, especially
noted for its many excellent schools.
And yet the whole town is worked up
over the alleged appearance Of an old
lady's ghost who wants to show some
body where she buried $500 before she
died. The municipal authorities, under
the advice of the ghost, have offered $50
to any one who will find the treasure;
and regular ".ghost trains' are run in
from the suburbs for the convenience OF
those who want to see the old lady's
shade.

At the present moment, so says an
English paper, fortune telling is one of

In France the number of suicides is

OF more than forty years standing which
have been sanctioned by the courts and
recognized by congress. He cites numerous
decisions OF the United States supreme
court recognizing the right OF the exec
utive departments to set apart, or re-
serve withdraw from settlement portions
oil the public lands without the express
authority OF congress. He encloaes comics
OF the decisions, proclamations and other
forms o orders by which entries upon GER
tain tracts OF land have been prohibited
from 1928 to thepresentday, and attaches
maps showing the location and extent of
such lands and the purposes for which they
have been reserved. He argued that the
only question remaining is the extent to
which the right to suspend the operation
oil the laws governing the public lands
should he exercised Ii he has the
authority to suspend the land laws in re-
iation to 200 or 100000 acres he must
have the right to apply that authority to an
indefinite number of acres. If he can
withdraw from settlement certain town
ship, why not all townships when a neces-
sity exists therefor? Having convinced
himself that the authority was vested j ,
him, and recognizing the necessity for its
exercise, he issued his order. The rush of
land seekers to the West is unprecedented
because it was believed that congress wonid
repeal the preelpption and timber culture
acts, and at nearly every land office the en-
tries are SO numerous that the officials are
compelled to work night and day and then do
notlieepup with current business. This great
demand was for speculative purposes and
not for actual lsettlement; and, after con-
sutation with the most distinguished
members OF the Senate and house of repre-
scntatives, he decided to issue the order
and suspend the operation of the law until
congress had acted upon the bill repeating
them.
He justfies his action as necessary for
the protection of the public domain from
thieves and swindlcrs, and rather reflects
upon Secretary Lamar for revoking it.

93, O0O, 600 bushels, according to onr cal

The Presidents Fortune.

The Washington Sunday Capital says
that the presidents salary is paid him in
monthly installments-$4, 1866 on the
last day OF each month-and the treasurer
always makes it IA point to send him notes
OF the latest issue. Mr.. Cleveland, as his
predecessors have done, keeps private
bank account with Riggs & Co., and makes
:. deposit the first OF every month, reserv-
ing enough OF his salary to pay current
expenses and setting good d exam pie
by putting the rest aside for a
rainy day. am told that his ac
count has shown a balance as large
ns $50, 1000, as he has an income aside
from his official salary. While he has
never been n money getter he has earned in
his profession all he has ever made. Mr..
Cleveland has an economical disposition
and no luxurious tastes like his immediate
predecessor Before he entered public life
he was making from $4,000 to S15 900 a
year by his practice and could have lived
like a lord. His expenses, am told were
never moro than 81, 800 a year, and he en-
loyed himself as much as most men do.
His frugal habits were acquired in youth
for he was not born with golden, or even
silver, spoon in his mouth, and he has
found his pleasure in hard work The
presidents Buffalo friends estimate that
he was worth from 100000 to S75, 600
when he was elected and has already in.
creased that amount considerably by prof
liable investments and by the surplus OF
his salary
