lie Missed His Mark.

Arizona Kicker: Our esteemed con.
temporary down the avenue didn't like
the way we showed him up last week,
and on Monday he borrowed a revolver
from Sam Adams as long as his leg,
and lay in ambush for us at the corner
OF Apache and Cactus avenues. As we
appeared, on our way to the postoffice,
he opened fire, and six shots were fired
at us at distance Of no more than ten
feet. Not one OF them came within a
foot OF US, but the shooter did manage
to wound a 800 mule belonging to Lew
Baker, and TO kill $50 dog belonging
TO Judge Stoker. When he was through
shooting we knocked him down and
hammered him till he hollered. We
understand that he has settled with the
others for $3.50 and that he thinks OF
leaving town. He better. II he ever
had any standing here he's lost it now
for sure. A man who holds a gun in
both hands and shuts his eyes to shoot,
is OF no occount in this district. The
! coyotes wouldn't even bark at him.

Remarkable Mesmerism.

In one OF the law courts OF Helsing-
borg, Sweden, n queer case OF hypno-
tism has puzzled the judges. A young
medical student brought suit against a
practising physician in the town for
having hypnotized him several times
against his will, with the result that
his nervous system was injured and
his mind somewhat enfeebled. Sew
eral witnesses appeared for the plain
tiff, and, to the establishment of the
court, they all appeared to be crazy,
and gave the most contradictory and
astounding testimony. Hereupon a
medical gentleman came upon the
stand and still further astonished the
court with the announcement that his
confrere, the defendant, had hypno-
tized the witnesses and made them say
just Whatever he liked. Finally the
court adjourned the case and appointed
a commission to see il the entire
crowd were not crazy. .

Marriage AneieptIy,

The Hebrews had a beautiful and
elevated idea of the marriage relation,
the Greeks had not. Sparta care d
nothing for the sanctity of marriage,
and it was considered customary and
reputable for men to give their wives
over to their friends. Aristotle speaks
Of men buying wives from one another.
Homer refers to the fact that tbs father
the owner OF the child until sh Q
was beyond his control, and was, paid
for her in cattle, and this was called
cttle-fnding. A Trojan ally, who was
slain by Agamemnon, had given 100
cattle to obtain wife. and then prom
ised 1000 head OF sheep and goats be-
sides. If the wife proved urfaithful
the husband could demand back the
price. Under the Roman law dowa-
ger had to go with the wife.
Affinity and conSanguinity were for
merly, in some countries, greater OBJ
jectons to marriage than now. Greg
Dry forbade the marriage of cousins.
The Church of England does not for
bid such marriages. Some of our states
do and some Go not. The romantic
Cleopatra was Il daughter of brother
and sister, and she welded her younger
brother, according to the custom of
the PtolemieS. Many authorities claim
that marriage to cousins is not detri-
mental where there had not boon such
marriages in the family before.
The marriage ceremony h differed
in all ages. Among the ancient Hebrews
marriage began with the betrOthal,
but no iormality was required. By his
teaching Christ became legislator on
this subject and ennobled the relation
more than it had ever been in the
worlds hiStory.--Cin. Com. Gazette.

in nine out Of every ten cases of default

theft that escape is impossible, and a
confession and light sentence, or flight

result. These every day occurrences
do not effect him, he simply laughs at
the stupidity and misjudgment of the
man whose business and social life is

A Stern Old Puritan

Col. John Goddard was king among Penob-
scot lumbermen in his day. An incident that
occurred at home indicates his unyielding ma
ture and obstinate pride.
One day little son Of his while playing In
the yard climbed into a wagon. Tirfng Of this
amusement the child endcavored to again
reach the ground, but did not dare to Chamber
down.
The mother, hearing cries for help, rushed
out to the rescue at the same time that God
dard came around the corner of the stable.
s'Hold on therc!' he cried to his wife.
Then turning to the sobbing child he shout
cd, whats the matter, youDgsterp
''Can,t get down.
'Crawl down!'
"Can't.n
''Climb down, tell youw
''Daresn't climb down"
Goddard reached for the horsewhip, vouch-
safing only these words to the appeal of his
wife:
'.lf that young man has any Of John God
cards blood in him he'll get down out Of that
himself.n
The child, nerved to desperation, by several
cuts from the whip, frantically attempted to
scramble down from his perch, and, catching
his foot in the wheel, fell to the earth with o
broken leg.
But Goddard didn't finch.

A celebrated European specialist for
diseases of the throat, nose, and ear
asserts that tuberculosis is making
alarming progress among cigar smok-
ers. He does not attribute this to the
use OF tobacco, but TO the manner in
which cigars are manufactured. Roll
ing the tobacco leaf is craft chat re-
quires neither strength nor intelli-
gence, consequently in this branch OF
the operation it is usual to find male
and, female operatives who are weak
and diseased. and who; in consequence
OF their infrmities, are economical
employees. Most OF them suffer from
scrofula or tuberculosis. They cough,
and often give the finishing touch to /,

an incident that occurred thirty Year,

the importance OF it too. He never
lost an opportunity to snub even those
who came to him for Information. The
advance sheets for Woodruff d Clafin's
famous, or infamous, weekly paper had
been flying ali over the country for
some time, and one afternoon dropped
into the little 10xl2 postofiice and shop

BY his side lay "a copy of the notorious
paper, which he would glance at oc-
casionally. ! picked it up and ex-
pressed my surprise, to the effect that

WOman's Happiest UOur.

There is one time in life when lovely
woman should look her loveliest, and
that is on her wedding day. 1t is the
time OF all times. She crosses the
threshold OF maidenhood, and far out
into the paths of married life. where
roses blush and bloom, but where also
thorns abide. Let connubial heart
work and handwork accomplish what
1t will; let husbands be never so gen tie,
patient trusting, kind and true, they
cannot prevent the downiest pillow
from being hardened by the asperities
OF life. Therefore it is meet that brides
should look their PROTEST on their
wedding day, so that the memory Of
the occasion may !!nger with them.

Restored to Perfect Health.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, July II, 1SS9.-For the last
two years my wife has been suffering from
malaria, chills and fever and general debility.
She was frequently confined to her bed for
weeks at a time and though she was treated by
good physicians, they failed to do her any per-
manent good. After spending over 500 for
medicine and with doctors without any benefit,
bought jug of Microbe Killer for her. 1t
stopped the chills Immediately, and her gen.
cral health began to improve rapidly. She has
taken three jugs altogether and she has im-
proved so much that feel confident that in q
short time she will be fully restored to perfect
health. l am gratefully yours,

THE GOLDEN LAND

Whea the heavens are drearily shrouded
With clouds and wintry gloom,
\ dream of a land that is golden
With sunshine and Summer bloom,
And then the clouds and the darkness,
Like mist roll away from mine eyes,
And SEQ in its beauty and splendor,
The land of the beautiful skies!
And so, though life's roses have persisted
In storms of wintry years,
Though sunshine has turned into darkness,
And pleasure to pain and tears
/ dream of skies that are cloudlesa
OF peace, and Of heavenly rest,
And see, in glorious vision,
That golden Land of the Blest

81 read your story about the cele,
brated Kentucky lawyer and orator,
Tom Marshall" said Chicago attor-
ncy to a Herald writer, "and it re-
minded me OF a story | heard about
his brilliant oratory some years ago.
An old man, aged Sc years, had been
arrested on a charge OF counterfeiting.
He had been caught in an attempt to
pass counterfeit money and other coun-
terfeits were found on him, 80 it looked
like clear case against the old chap.
The Judge asked il he had counsel and
he replied in the uegative-he was
unable to hire q lawyer. AS it hap
pcned, Tom Marshall was sitting in
court at the time and the judge detail
cd him to defend the old rascal. He
accepted as gracefully as he could and
held Il consultation with the aged pris-
oner, after which he said he was ready
for trial The state presented its in
disputable evidence and Marshall said
he had no witnesses. But he added,
i should like to make a few remarks
TO the jury Permission was granted,
but everyone wondered what he could
say in his clients defense. In the brief
consultation Marshall had learned that
the old man had fought heroically at
the battle of Lundy's Lane, and he
made u stirring speech about this
glorious country and its defenders,
saying nothing about the case of coun-
terfeiting. So great was the power Of
his oratory that the jury brought in q
verdict OF not guilty, but as the fore
man OF the jury left the court room he
whispered to friend: ats - lucky
for that old chap that he fought at the
battle Of Lundy's Lane"
