Marbles .Humor.

Some people call him A. w. Marble,
but more people know him as Will Mar
BILE. He used to be one of the brightest
and wittiest men on the Chicago board
of trade. and many of his clever sayings
still live in the comic history OF thai
body. He it was who once declared that
he was happy because he was even with
the world-that he owed just as many
people as he did not owe. During one
period of his connection with the. board
he was in the office of John r. Bensley,
an ex-president Of the body. Marble
was a sharp trader and a valuable man
in any Office, but business had been very
dull for some time and he came to the
conclusion that in the course of a short
time his head would fall in the basket
with others, to curtail expenses. So he
was ready for it. According to Ills ex-
pectations it came one morning. He
was in the Office when Mr.. Bensley came
in, looking crosser than usual, and sum-
moned him into his private den. Twill
iam," he said, when Marble had seated
himself, business of late has been very
dull am very sorry, but and
here Marble interrupted him by saying:

A shost,y Guard.

Arumor is current in Athens, Ca, to
the effect that there is a rock in Clarke
county. about six miles from town, upon
which no man dares to tread. The super
~stitious say that about twehtyor twenty
five years ago an old gentleman buried a
coffee pot full of gc!d at the foot of this
rock and has since died, and when a man
passes that way his ghost appears and
drives him off. Parties passing near the
place have been run more than a mile
by this invisible ghost. They say that
when they come lear the place, even
though it be a perfectly still day, a noise
can be heard like a terrible cyclone, and
the tall pines which surround the
rock begin to bow and many of them fail
to the ground. One Sunday two gentle
men from Athens, who heard the rumors
and doubted them, visited the rock with
the intention of proving The reports to be
false, but they did not stop long. They
climbed to the top Of the rock, when
they became astonished by hearing IA
terrible crash. Hardly before they knew
it a large pine tumbled to the ground
right at their feet. While an examina-
ton of the tree was being made, which.
was twisted from the ground, another
fully as large came down with a crash.

Discrimination on Parallel Railroads.

But, without supposing that they were
committing a crime, and as yet uncon-
vinced of sin, these three railways, let us
say, came together and determined to
make a single rate to Chicago for all
business received by each Of the three
lines; these receipts to be pooled and
divided. Even had they proceeded upon
n basis Of the single actual receipts to
each for solicited business, there could
be no difference to the public either
way; but they chose to consider the
most complicated problem of a single
tariff divided upon the items of expendi-
tnre, outlay aid cost. What resulted?
Simply that there was Gas the interstate
commerce law says there shall be- no dis
elimination. But when the interstate
law, while keeping the word of promise
to the ear by saying there should BE no
discrimination, broke it to the hope by
saying there should be no pool, what re-
suited? Why, in the case of these three
roads, a discrimination in favor of one
third against two-thirds! For, when
each Of these three roads makes its own
tariff, of course, the road having the
smallest fixed charges to pay makes the
lowest rates. The dwellers along that
line have the advantage of these low
rates to which, of the other two rail
ways, only n can approximate; while
the third line must either go to the other
extreme or defraud the holders Of its
securities. Appleton Morgan in Popular
Science Monthly.

proposed to benefit. Soon her business
increased, and then she put her scheme
into operation. Selecting the wealthiest
of patrons she gave them a mixture
which when applied to the face
brought out blotches instead Of

she would demand an exorbitant sum
to effect a cure which her vic
Tins only too gladly paid. She contin-
ued this business successfully for some
time, until a Miss Nichols, who was vic
tina;zed, had her arrested for swindling.
She was tried in Paris in 1875 and SEN
fenced to prison. After serving several
years she managed to escape and sailed
for New York, where she lived very
quietly. One day she attended church,
and, overcome with remorse, sought the
officiating priest and confessed her sins,
stating at the same time her readiness to
do penartce. The priest advised her to
forsake her evil ways and spend her
days in prayer.
She at nee came to this city and
sought the hut on the Gainesville road,
in which she passed the remainder of her
life. She prayed constantly and often
scourged herself. Her only companions
were the dumb animals she collected.
Up to within a few days before her death
she enjoyed good health. All her prop
erty will probably go to the Catholic
church.-Baltimore Cor. st. Louis Globe

lean Chinese Consulate Looted.

LONDON, Feb. THE capitalists of
h country are considering a scheme
for connecting the Bristol and English
channels by a canal. The route fixed
upon by the engineers who have sur
|veyed the district is from Stolford, in
B~ridgwater Bay, passing through the
towns of Bridgwater, Langport, Ilmins-
ter and Chard, to S%eaton, on the English
channel. The total length of the canal
will be about forty-five miles, and with
the exception of the Chard range of
hills the work of ~excavating for the
whole distance will be comparatively
easy, no engineering difficulties present.
ing themselves, The Chard district is
formed of las, so that in cutting
through the high ground an ample sup
ply of lime will be obtained, which will
be useful for the other portions of the
work. The canal is intended tt be in
every way capable. of admitting the
largest mercantile steamers atioat, as
well as the ships of war. From n ma
ticnal point of view the new canal will
be of immense Importance, as ironclads
will be able to steam across from chan
mel to channel in a few hours, instead
of having, as at present, togo round the
Lands end. The greatest benefit will
also accrue to the trade of South Wales,
for, when shipping to London and the
continent, by using this canal a distance
of 300 miles will be saved, in addition
to the advantage of avoiding the great
risks to which vessels are liable while
sailing around this part of the coast.

The footprints themselves tell us little as

the sandal shod footprint indicates a GER

pominions of His Grace moosonee.

Some idea of the extent of territory
of the Canadian diocese may be gath
cred from the fact that the Bishop OF
Noosonee exercises jurisdiction over an
area as large as Europe, extending all
around the Hudson's bay territory and
reaching up to the North Pole. Ten
thousand people are under his care i IN
this vast region, and there is no resident
minister of any other body of Christians
besides the bishop and his seven clargy.
The distances are enormous, and the
shortest way to the northern part of the
diocese is to go to England first and
then go out in the yearly ship which en-
sers Hudson's bay. The bishop has
everything to do for himself, and is a
