ATTACKED BY W,EaSELs,

George Gray, an employee of Farmer
Bull, near this place, says a letter from
Pine Mill, Pa, went out in one of the
farmers fields to haul away some stone
piles that had been lying in the field
since last fall. He had thrown on the
drag but a few stones from one of the
piles when we asel jumped out OF the
pile. Gray kicked at the animal as it
was passing him and the fierce little
brute turned on the man and sprang at
his throat. Its teeth closed on Gray's
flannel shirt at his chest. In tearing
the weasel loose it set its teeth into
Gray's arm, tearing the flesh down three
inches. The taste Of blood seemed to
increase the fury of the weasel and
Gray had all he could do to keep it from
springing on his throat. He at last sue
ceeded in stunning the weasel by a
kick and was about to hurry to the
house to have his wounds dressed when
six other weasels one after the other,
trooped from the stone pile and made a
combined attack on Gray. They
swarmed upon him, biting and tearing
his flesh on his legs, arms: and body.
Fearing Of his life Gray turned and fled,
followed by the weasels, which chased
him clear to the house, over half mile
away, inAicting still further wounds
with their sharp teeth.
Gray's shouts for help brought son
OF his employer and another man oasof
a barn, where they were thrashina and
the two ran to Gray's aid. Even these
! reinforcements did not daunt the wea-
sells, and before they were routed, which
was not till three of them were Killed,
they had inflicted many ugly wounds on
their foes and the three men were COW
cred with blood from head to foot. Gray
has been confined to his bed ever since.
1t is we'll known that weasels will fight
to death when cornered, Or will attack
a sleeping person, but for them to fight
three men in an open field, assuming
the aggressive at the start, is something
unheard Of before in this region of
! hunters and traDpers.

OH uOMEs IRE BEST.

If one runs over the list OF the per-
sons known to him he finds very few Of
more than forty years old living in the
houses in which they were born. OF
the twenty houses built moro than fifty
years ago nearest my own, only one Is
lived in by the family by which it was
originally occupied, while most of the
others have had humorous successive
owners or tenants. Of my own friends
near my own age there are but two or
three anywhere who live in the houses
which their fathers occupied before
them. This lack of hereditary homes
homes of one family for more than
one generation-is novel and signiti-
cant feature of American society. In
it's effect on the disposition Of the peo-
pie and on the quality Of our civiliza-
ton it has not received the attention it
deserves.
The conditions which have brought
about this state of things are obvious.
The spirit Of equality, and the practices,
especially in regard to the distribution
Of property, that have resulted from it;
the general change in the standards of
living arising from the enormous de-
velopment of the natural resources of
the country, and the consequent I'M
eXamplcd diffusion of wealth and ma
tcrial comfort; The rapid settlement OF
our immense territory, and the astonish-
ing growth OF our old as we'll as of our
new cities, have been unfaSorable to the
existence Of the hereditary home.
There is scarcely a town in the long
settled parts of the Northern States
from which considerable portion OF its
people has not gone out in the course OF
the past fifty years to seek residence
elsewhere. Attachment to the native
SOIL affection for the home of ones
youth, the claims Of kindred, the bonds
of social duty, have not proved strong
enough to resist the allurements of
hope, the fair promise of bettering
fortune, and the love of adventure.
The increasing ease and the vast ex-
extension of means of communication
between distant parts of the country
have promoted the movement of the
population. -P,'of Charles Eliot Nor
tom, i1l Scribner's.

FaINTING rs = EINE Lnr

"How does woman faint?" asked a
lawyer, after adjournment of court yes
terday, "We had young woman on
the stand who declared she had seen a
hundred women faint, and that they all
tainted with outstretched arms. Now,
how does woman faint? I declare I
don't know. [ have seen the interest
ing phenomenon few times, but the
trouble is there is so much excitement
that man forgets to take observations
thinkit would be an interesting ques-
ton for the court to sift to the bottom.
We would probably be deluged with
contradictory testimony. In the first
place, does woman faint with out
stretched arms? Are outstretched arms
a sure sign of a faint? believe it must
depend great deal what she faints for.
Why does woman faint aad what does
she do when she faints?
"On the stage we have seen, for in
stance, Cecilia faint with Modus, but as
have seen it represented she held his
hands tight in hers and then on his
shoulders and then half way around his
neck. I have seen the Mountain Maid
faint. She begins deliberately to say,
L am fainting, then she repeats, I must
faint, and finally declares she will just
be real down sick if she doesn't faint.
Are these true reflections of feminine
fainting off the stage?
lam afraid the resources of testimony
will be exhausted before giving us any
rules for genuine faint. There is such
an infinite variety Of phases that codi-
fication of laws of fainting is impossible.
I confess I don't know when q faint is a
natural phenomenon and when it is a
fine art. philadelphia Enquirer.
THE SUPREME COURT BOYS.
The justices of the Supreme Court
have "chums" among themselves. Chief
Justice Fuller and Judge Harlan are
almost always together and are daily
seen walking to and from the Capitol
Judge Gray and the late Judge Matthews
were inseparable, and their intimacy, it
is said, led to the engagement Of Judge
Gray to Miss Matthews. Judge Field
and Judge Bradley are very close
friends, and are at each others houses
frequently. Judge Batchford and Judge
Lamar walk or drive in company every
pleasant afternoon. There could not

QUEER THINGS ar FUNERALS.

In many respects nothing can be more
anti-C Christian than Christian funeral.
Around the house of mourning there
Immediately gathers an atmosphere of
hopeless gloom that is distinctly pagan.
The tone of the condolences, the en-
bienls Of woe, the needless display and
ostentation, and the bustling activity Of
the undertaker-all are opposed alike to
the spirit Of Christianity and the canons
of good taste. The undertaken, who as
rule means we'll, is often the worst
offender. Everyone has some story to
tell of his gaucheries. recall attend

and l am sure that if the remains were

certain funeral he had conducted was
small, being attended by only ten per-
sons, including the remains The

MAJ. DUCKWORTH.
A Georgia Sketch.
BY MONTGOMERY NJ. FOLSOM.

The preparatory lesson Of every
cracker boys life is blowing a mule.
1t may be all right to begin a bust
ness life by mixing up with mule, but
it is a mighty doubtful start for the
kingdom of Heaven.
Yea. by the beard of my fathers
An average plantation mule used to
be one-half objectionable sin and the
other half vanity and vexation of spirit
Some OF our most brilliant statesmen
like to boast that they began life plow-
ing mule, but some Of our most bril-
liant statesmen generally lie.
All, how we'll do l recall the days
when | led forth long-eared mule of
angular build, and climbed up on a lock
OF The fence to get the names over his
neck.
As l leaned lovingly over to embrace
the neck of the animated kicking ma
chine it often occurred that he sprang
aside and lost my balance and came
down among the sassafras sprouts and
the dewberry vines.
And l would make use of expressions
only found in certain sermons of modern
manufacture; but they fell on unheeding
ears.
And along about 1oo'clock in the day,
blowing in the new ground, where the
soil was chiefly composed of black
snakes and runner oak roots - talk
about life, why have lived hundred
years in twelve short hours under such
circumstances.
And, don't you know? Along about
II o'clock, while Lazy Lawrence was
dancing on the fence, the mule would
keep turning his eye up to the sun and
laying back the ear that was next to the
house SO as to hear the dinner horns
first toot.
Going down the row the mule would
keep the right ear down; coming up the
COW the left.
And watching the sun all the time.
And just let that horn sound one note
and
Halt! "... ...-..
just as we'll to take the gear off, fol
the Old cuss would die rather than &C
another step.
Like some carpenters used to know
They were such sticklers for time that
If one were driving nail and had his
hammer raised to strike the last lick
when the clock struck, he would lay the
hammer down without striking and hol
Ter out

Major Duckworth was funny little
man with bow-legs and the bearing Of
an orphan. He was so peculiar in looks
that irreverent men, who were so long
legged that the little ends of theil
hearts were forked, used to call him
simply Major Duck, and frequently
just
"Hello, Duck"
The Major had many little tricks o,
conversation and action that were more
curious than captivating He had ;
way of sorter limping on one foot and
tscraping the other along, aud he would
hitch up his breeches and say:
"Humph i by gad!"
Along little piece further, hitch up

THE MILL WHEELS SONG.
BY JOHN ERNEST MccANN.


Round and round the wheel goes,
From early morn till night;
The mil-stream turns 1t as it flows,
And then runs out OF sight
But there the old mill wheel remains,
And lets the nll-stream run;
And if it shines, OF if it rains,

Drip, drip drip, drip, drip. drip drip,
Many wave from off me will bear a gallant
ship!
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip,
But for me the miller i'll the tavern could not

Round and round cannot go
When the bleak winter comes,
And wind and snow do bravely blow;
Hut when the brown bee huns,
hear the children laugh and play,
/ hear the cracking corn,
And merrily, oil through the day,
The gay wind blows his horn:
Turn turn, turn, turn. turn, turn, turn,
mako the fires in the cots upon the hill side
burn!
Turn, turn, 5urn turn, turn, turn, turn
When man is older than the world he need not
live to learn!
Round and round gayly turn
From spring till autumn flies;
My humble role do not spI.n,
Nor pass my life i'll signs.

And try to be content;
And, since my modest life began,
I've sung, when day was spent:
Swish, swish, swish, swiSh, swish swish, swish

goodwives' dish
Swish, swish. swish, swish swish, swish, swish,
Tho corn l crack pays for tho goodwives meal
and bread and fish!
Round and round do not pass
When long days go TO sleep;
Nor when the luds have each lass
As down the road thoy creep!
sometimes catch the whispers lows,
And sometimes catch kiss,
As by the by old red mill they 60

AVOID DEBT.

Every man who would get on in the
world should as far as possible avoid
debt From the very outset of his ca
reer he should resolve to live within
his income, however paltry it may be.
The art of living easily as to money is
very simple-pitch your scale of living
one degree below your means. All the
worlds wisdom on the subject is most
tersely epitomized in the words Of
Dickens Micawber: Annual income,
twenty pounds; annual expenditure,
nineteen six; result, happiness. An
nual income, twenty pounds; annual
expenditure, twenty pounds naught and
six; result, misery" Many a man
dates his downfall from the day when
he began borrowing money. Avoid the
first obligation, for, that incurred,
others follow, one necessitating the
other; every day the victim will get
more entangled: then follow pretexts,
excuses, lies, till all sense of shame is
lost, the whole life becomes q makeshift
and the debtor in despair finally resolves
to live by indirect robbery and false
hood.
