Frederick the Great.

Frederick tue Great was immensely popular with his people until he stablished very vexatious system of taxation. The discontent caused by this would have done him far greater injury had it not been for the good humor with which he bore the adverse criti- cisms on his policy.
 Riding along the Jager .trasse one day, he saw Q crowd of people. 'See what it is," he said to the groom who was attending him.
 "They have something posted up about your majesty" said the groom, returning. Frederick, riding forward, saw caricature of himself: King in very melancholy guise," " writes Carlyle, seated on a stool, a coffee mill between his knees, diligently grinding with the one hand, and with the other pick ing up any bean that might have fallen'
 Hang it iower," said the king, beckoning the groom with his finger; flower, that they may not have to hurt their necks about it."
 No sooner were the words spoken, which spread instantly, than there rose from the whole crowd one universal huzza of joy They tore the caricature into a thousand pieces, and rolled after the king with loud 'Lebe hoch (Hurrah), our Frederick forever!' as he rode slowly away.-Youth's Companion.

Ink Rains.

Writing from Grahamstown, Cape Colony, Mr. L. A. Eddie gives an account of some ex- traordinary showers that fell there A storm commenced near midday and lasted till late the next morning. At intervals during this period heavy showers of rain fell, after which large areas were found to be covered with water as black as ink. Two theories are put forward to account for the observed facts, one attributing it to dust in the air from a recent volcanic eruption, while the other con siders the phenomena to be due to the passage of the earth through dense meteoric stream, the dust of which, suspended in the atmos- phere, was carried down by the rain, and be- ing essentially iron, formed, on being mixed with the organic acids of the soil, a true ink Scientific American

Petrified Bodies Discovered.

A gentleman who resided for considerable length of time on the shores of Lake Winni peg verifies the statement published as to the existence of petrified bodies in certain dis tricts. He has information from a priest who established Catholic mission near Fort Alexander that the body of Mrs. Bruyere, buried at the forks of two streams emptying into the Winnipeg river, was found petrifed when exhumed for tho purpose of removal to a regularly consecrated cemetery It was found on investigation that the body had been subjected to dripping process from clear, crystal water, which passed through tho coffin, having the effect of petrifying the body. Several other similar instances are reported in the vicinity of Fort Alexander = Winnipeg Dispatch.

A GIRLS SWEET EXPERIENCE.

He said: ''No one shall ever learn
 This secret that my heart must keep; No matter how the words may burn, = No matter how my heart may leap, No one shall know love her so, No one shall know, no one shall knoww But though bis lips were tightly sealed,
 The very birds his secret guessed, For in his eyes 1t was revealed,
 And in his face it was confessed: Il love her so, love her so, But none shall know, but none shall knowr" The wind soon found it and rin on
 To tell it to the wondering flowers, And bear it to the gates of dawn,
 Where loter all the coming hours: That they might know he loved her so, That they might know. that they might know Some time all secrets must unfold,
 And soon did he a listener seek, To whom his story might be told,
 Before the laughing world should speak Aud tell her if she did not know, He loved her so, he loved her so -Meridith Nicholson in Indianapolis Journal.

On the inside of the band was engraved lady's first name, evi dently the giver, and the gcntlemans name to whom it was given. Mir.

Two Animals with Bad Habits.

A Waterbury cat was recently discovered stealing and eating smoking tobacco, disap- pearance of which had caused the owner and his son to suspect each other of mild form of theft. The cat has been stolen several times, but has always come back in a fam ished condition and begun to fatten up just as the tobacco began to disappear. In An sonia the other day balky horse, which re- sisted all attempts to start him, trotted off briskly when given tobacco by a man who recognized the animal and remembered habit which it had formed when a colt.-New Haven Palladium

How He Got Rich.

A. M. Cannon, the Washington territory millionaire, was peddling sewing machines in Portland. Ore, nine years ago. A year or two later he moved with his family to Spo- kane Falls, then mere settlement, making the trip of 800 miles in his wagon. The little money he had was invested in land. A year later he was a banker, and today his wealth is estimated at between $4,OOO,0C0 and S6,OOO,OOO. He rose with the boom that has given Spokane Falls population of l2,O0O and still growing.

Reported Purchase Of Watering Places

The sale of Healing Springs to R. l.. Par
IRISH, trustee for an unknown purchaser, for
$4,000 cash, has been confirmed by the
court. We give the following concerning
the sale from a correspondent of the High
land Recorder writing from the Warm
Springs, remarking that it derives addition
probability from the fact that very recent
ly President ingalls, made trip from
Covington to the Warm and inspec-
ted all the watering place properties
along the route. The writer says
sit is now reported that M, E. Ingalls,.
President Of the G. q O. r. R., and several
other wealthy gentlemen were the purchasers
of the Healing. They have since purchased
the Hot Springs, and have an option on the
Warm Springs. Their purpose is to place
all three places under one management, run
railroad from Covington to this place, re-
build the hotel at the Healing, and make
extensive and costly improvements at the
Hot and Warm,''

The Collecrorshlp of this District.

Capt. Ham. Shepperd, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue for this District, is making
preparations to retire next Monday, August
9Th, at which time it is understood the
new Collector, P. H. McCaull, will take
charge. A letter from Lynchburg says,
that ''nearly every white Republican of this
section is an applicant for position under
the new collector" Capt. Shepherds adj
ministration of the Office is familiar to the
people of Staunton, where it was SO long
located, and it may be said with knowledge
that there has been no better Collector in
the United States than he-this was the
report of the Republican as well as Demo-
cratic inspectors who examined his Office.
He also kept his Office out of interference
in politics, and in that respect he set a good
example to his successor. Capt. Shepherd
deputies, Capt. w. H. FoWle, W. III. Battle,
Samuel Coffman, Thos. Williamson and
others in Lynchburg, and Capt. Patton and
G. W. Koiner in Staunton, will doubtless
be relieved by the new Collector in short
time. They have many friends here Who
