A Sleepy Old Village.

An odd account is given by the
Western Morning Ne,cs, of Y ealmpton,
an English village within seven miles
of Plymouth, with q population of
nearly thousand:
Newspapers are not delivered till
thirty-four hours after they are print
ed, and the delivery of letters is of a
very meager kind. This obliges the
inhabitants to resort TO all sorts of
shifts to obtain "a bit of news" In
teresting items are scrubbed on pieces
of paper by those who travel from
Plymouth to Yealmpton, and these are
pushed under the doors of leading in
habitants, who communicate the con-
tents to their neighbors. The vicar,
who receives f4e0 pounds year, has
long been practically past active work,
and was not particularly active when
he had health and strength. Services
are conducted in fashion on Sunday
mornings and afternoons, yet they are
of such kind that few beyond the
wears household attend. The vicar
knows so little of his Pensioners that
quite recently he directed that some
clothing should be sent from local
charity to q man whom he had buried
four years ago.

Enormous Expense for Man.Killing.

Gently. The Duke of Wellington was

This charge consists of 800 pounds Of

Alleged Experience of Editor Pulitzer,

Ex-Governor Campbell of Missouri,
in recent talk about the Hon. j. Pu-
liter, said:
IL remember when Joe was elected
to the Legislature, and also when he
only lacked one vote of being expelled
from that body. Pulitzer had within a
few years come up from the position of
roustabout on Mississippi steamboat
to a private watchman. Then he be-
came restaurant waiter, and while &C.
cupying that position he formed the
acquaintance of Carl Schurz. who
made him q reporter of his Westliche
Post. In this way Pulitzer got some
influence in one of the German wards,
and was elected to the Legislature. 1t
was just at the time that the Demo
Gratis reclaimed the State by electing
b. Gratz Brown Governor. When Pu-
liter took his seat he was about as or
binary looking an individual as could
be seen anywhere. His nose looked
almost as big as his face. He imme-
diately became distinguished as the
ugliest- looking man who had ever occu-
pied seat in our Legislature. He was
as awkward as he was ugly, and in con-
sequence great deal of fun was made
of him. Every time that he arose to
speak he was laughed at. Finally, one
day he got into a difficulty with coun-
try member over some trifing affair,
and fight ensued. The fellow got
Pulitzer down and was beating him
about the head. Pulitzer in the mean
time got out his revolver, and, taking
careful aim, shot his assailant through
the big toe. The wounded man was
laid up for a day or two, and Pulitzer
was arrested. In the course of a week
he was arraigned by the Legislature to
show cause why he should not be ex
PEELED. Finally vote was taken, and
Pulitzer, who was very unpopular, had
not friend to defend him. Over half
the counties had been called, and only
three more votes were needed to expel
seat near me, and l noticed tears in his
eyes. l felt sorry for the poor young
man, and, although had but slight
acquaintance with him, L proceeded to
defend him. / addressed the Speaker,
and told him had been absent when
the case was under consideration, and l
demanded a reconsideration, which was
granted. Then made a speech for
the defense, in which l claimed that
Pulitzer had first been assaulted, and
being a very young man, to expel him
might blight his prospects for life.
Well, another vote was taken, and Pu-
liter was acquitted. He came over to
me, and putting his arm around me,
cried like a child. He said he would
never forget what 1 had done for him,
for if he had been expelled he had made
up his mind to commit suicide. Well,
ever since the fellow has always opposed
me politically

The race of mankind would perish

the time that the mother binds the

KIDD assistant wipes the death-damp

for il from their fellow-mertals; no one
who holds the power of granting can
refuse il without guilt.

He succeeded. The boys were sent
