Pain in His Amputaued Feet.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

DR.. IS. Wilson, whose feet were
cut off by a switch engine in Augusta,
was on the streets in a roller chair,
looking the picture of health and
contentment. The lower part of
Of his body was covered Ritha shawl,
and he was surrounded by his friends
who were delighted to see him out.
He said: g suffer more from pain in
my feet than from anything else,
although my feet were amputated
two months ago. I can still feel the
pain and itching in my toes and in
the ball OF my feet, although as I tell
you they have been buried for two
months. The news are still irritateel.
I suppose this weird pain will wear
off after a while"

ago a professional nurse was sum-
moned from Binghampton, N. Y, to
assistat the arrival of a Black Hills
girl. Having accomplished her mis-
sion she returns, thus making a
round trip of over 5000 miles for
what in many localities would pass
as an ordinary event.
A train of ten wheat wagons, bear
ing nearly one thousand bushels,
drawn by friction engine, arrived
in Aberdeen, from the Hall farm,
four miles south Of that place. The

The grain averaged fifteen bushels

Expressions Tabooed.
Buffalo Advertiser.

Our clever friend, "The Listener, , of the Boston Transcript, caught a wigging the other day from hyper critical Boston person for using the expression, "It goes without saying" i" The correspondent said in effect that he could have no respect for or deal ing with writer who could be guilty ofusing that dreadful imported phrase. The Listener pleaded guilty, and was so crushed by the sudden attack that he promised never to use the expres- sion again. Another correspondent, not relishing this meek submission to the arrogant remark of number, writes that if we are too rigid in our censor ship of expressive phrases of one sort or another, we shall have to part com- pany with good many idiomatic sayings which we are now innocent enough to think are expressive and useful. There is, for instance, that very contradictory phrase, "I am mis- taken" We don't all mean that we are mistaken when we say that; we mean that we mistake. But we con- tinue to say "we are mistaken" and may with perfect propriety say it, because usage has transformed and crystallized the sentence into the op- posite meaning. Then there is the begging the question:" Everybody knows what it means, but what is it, when one examines the phrase, to beg a question? "For the sake of the ar- gument" is an intrinsically bother some phrase, but a very useful one. "Poor health" is term tabooed by a good many liberal people, who think that they either have health or do not have it, and that if they have health it is good. Of words, there is long list of contradictory ones. If you look in the dictionary for the definition of the word "ravel," you will find it set down as meaning "to unravel," and if you look for "unravel," you will find it means "to ravel." Madness lies in the direction of verbal scrupulousness or scrupulosity, as Charles Sumner would have it.

An Unromantic Swain.
Evening Wisconsin.

Cutting it across the country at midnight-otherwise elopiDg to get married-is custom that has long prevailed in Kentucky. Many blue- grass girls wouldn't care cent about marrying if they couldn't run away and do it. Young men in that favored region are of that way of thinking, too. But there was one who doesn't feel that way, as the following shows:
 "Mother, young Brown was in the store to-day, and he said he wanted to marry our Kate," said an old gentle man down in Kentucky to his spouse.
 "Well, Browns good fellow" she replied, land don't believe Kate can do better"
 "That's what I thought, so I got red ill the face and pretended to be mad, just as your father did when I asked for you, you remember, and yelled: You can't have her! Get off my premises, or Tll set the dogs on ye, you young scampp"
 "There'll be an elopement, then," said the wife, with a smile of pleas ure, recalling the result in their case.
 "No, there won't" replied the hus- band, with sigh of discontent.
 "Why not? That's the way it always works in Kentuck."
 "Well, he's smart one, mother, and no mistake. He first gave me the wink, and says he:
 Father in- law, Pm dead sot agin elopements. Too much trouble. The Ohio style of getting married on the premises is good enough for me. know it ain't popular in Kentuck. It ain't so romantic as cutting it across the country at midnight, escaping across the river in a dug-out and hunting a strange justice of the peace who chews plug tobacco while he ties the knot; but l ain't romantic; for starter want the milch-cow and the bed clothes, the trousseau and other knick-knacks that go with the regular way. One can set up housekeeping easier. I know it will come little higher for you, but you'll have to stand it this time. Perhaps the other girls will furnish the elopements nec- essary to keep up the reputation of the family, but none of mine.'"
 "And what are you going to do about it?" asked the wife.
 "Do? Why, sell some hogs and rig Kate out, of course. What else can I do?"

"The Court Done Her Best. '"


 Coweta county had a newly elected justice named Johnson, full of wise saws and modern instances. Bill Jones was sued in his court. It was his first case. On trial-day defendant appeared with his counsel, Colonel Sims, and filed plea of payment, concluding "Wherefore the defendant now says that he is ready to verify and prove, etc." This done, he moved for con- tinuance on the ground that his wit ness to prove the plea was absent, fully meeting all the requirements of the law. The court listened patiently until he ended, then he said to the lawyers: "Look here, squire, didn't your client jes file his plea and swore to hit? Pm gwine to read to yer. 'Wherefore,' he says, T am now ready 10 verify, etc. Now he swears he ain't ready. Squire, I am going to hold him to his first affidavit" In spite of the counsel's remonstrances he did, and entered judgment against the defendant. A certtorari was applied for, granted and served. Having learned he had made mistake, he an- swered admitting the truth, but ex- cusing himself in the conclusion "That owing to the self-justification of the lawyer and the harangue of jurisprudence the court done her best"

Happiness. .

The foundation of all happiness is health. A man with an imperfect di- gestion may be a millionaire, may be the husband of an angel and the father of half dozen cherubs, and yet be miserable if he be troubled with dys- .pepsia, or any of the disorders arising from imperfect digestion or a slug gish liver. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are the safest and surest remedy for these morbid condi- tions. Being purely vegetable, they are perfectly harmless.

THE BLOSSOMS IN HER HAIR.
BY SAMUEL MINTURN PECK.

O, the b 'ossoms in her hair! Dewy bright and debonnaIr, Peeping through a sunny snare,
 Full of grace; In her tresses' dainty hold, Happy prisoners in gold, Could my rapture ere be told
 In their place? o, the blossoms in her hair As I view them glisten there Like poor Tantalus l stare
 Sore distrest When she greets me as she trips With her merry, madding lips, Could 1 kiss her finger tips,
 l were blest. o, the blossoms in her hairl Though they fill me with despair By a bliss 1 may not share
 If stay. Yet a ray of joy redeems, For l know their witching gleams Long will finger in my dreams
 Far away.

Cotopaxi is the lofticst Of active vol
canoes. but is slumbering now. The only
evidences Of acton are the frequentrum-
blings that can be heard for q hundred
miles, and the cloud Of smoke by day and
the pillar of fire by night, which con-
stantly arise from a crater that is more
than 1900 feet beyond the reach Of man.
Many have attempted to climb the mon
stor. but the walls are so steep and the
snow is SO deep that the ascent is impos-
sibic, even with scaling ladders.
On tie southern slope Of Cotopaxi is a
great rock, more than 1900 feet high,
called "thc lnca's Head. " Tradition SAYS
that il was once the summit of the vol
canO, and fell on the day when Atahualpa
was strangled by the Spaniards. Those
who have seen Nesuvius can judge OF the
grandeur OF Co,opaxi if they can imagine
a volcano $1,000 feet higher, squirting
flames and lava from "a crest covered with

Tho Sumber OF the Stars.

The total number Of stars orc can see
will depend very largely upon the clear
ness of the atmosphere and the keenness
Of the eve. There are in the whole ce-
lestial sphere about G,000 stars visible to
an ordinarily good eye. Of these, how
ever. we can never see more than a frac-
ton at any one time, because a half OF
the sphere is always below the horizon.
II we could see star in the horizon as
easily as in the zenith. a half of he
whole number, or 5000, would be vlsi-
bic on any clear night. But stars near
the horizon are seen through so great n
thickness Of atmosphere as greatly to OBJ
scure their light, and only the brightest
ones can there be seen. As result OF
this observation, it is not likely that more
than 1000 stars can be taken in at a SIN
gle view by any ordinary oye. About
1000 other stars are so near the south
pole that they never rise in oursIautude.
Hence, ont of 900 supposed 70 be yisI-
bic. only 1000 ever come within range
OF our vision. unless we make Journey
